Eylimi's POV:
--------------------
"COME ON EYLIMI!" I heard Valka yell from below.
"Alright. This time. This time, for sure!" I muttered to myself. I quickly ran down Cloudjumpers back while he continued gliding and hung onto his tail. As I grabbed the end he lost all mussel control and began falling towards the land. I loosened my grip and he continued flying before we hit the ground. He flicked me back up to land on his neck as he glided down to Valka. I slid off and got my balancing back.
"Yeah! That was good. I can't believe you actually figured something new out about him. I didn't even know that." She smiled putting an arm around me. I was practicing flying as Valka told me tricks to stay on. I slipped and fell back to his tail and he became floppy as we fell into the lake. Ever since then Valka and I have been trying to perfect a way to do it.
"I wonder if there is anything else cool about them?" I wondered.
----time skip----
Valka is having a rest today. But today I'm back to dragon training with the others. We have both agreed never to speak of me flying a dragon. Who knows what dad would be like. Him and his overprotectiveness. I'm surprised if I ever get a boyfriend with him constantly watching me. I wander down to the arena where I see mum already standing there. She waved up. I look above me to see Toothless zoom over us. Dad must be back from the sheep problem over at mildews place. That guy is so grumpy, no wonder why he is on the other side of the island.
"Alright. Gang into the arena!" She ordered us as we walked in. For some reason she stayed outside. She looked down to us from the cage like top.
"Why did you lock the gate?" Viko asked.
"So Seaskipper doesn't get out." She smiled. We all turned behind us to see a Scauldron standing ahead.
"Oh Thor." I mutter as everyone started scattering around.
"VIDGRIP!" Vika yelled tossing him a spear. Why are they holding so many weapons. Are they trying to kill the thing?
"So babe. Incase this is...." Vidgrip began.
"The last words you speak?" I finished his sentence and rolled as the Scauldron shot at him. Steam rose where the boiling water evaporated.
"Ahhhhh!" Viko yelled charging at it the same time as Vika. They both ran into each other and hit heads.
"Hey! It was my go!" Vika complained.
"No it was mine!" He yelled back. They began fighting when suddenly I saw the Scauldron getting ready to shoot again. I reached out my staff and tripped them over as it shot. The boiling water glided through the air above the twins now on the ground. They quickly ran around hiding behind a log fence.

"I'm out!" Mudskipper yelled joining them.
"Hehe. Okay..." Hunter laughed nervously and charged at the Scauldron running up its neck. He grabbed it's head and clamped it shut so it couldn't shoot anymore. The dragon stood up and looked at him above it. It growled and shook Hunter off. He landed on the floor.
"Grrrrrrr!" The Scauldron looked at me. Not good. It began hopping towards me and a ran for life around the arena. Before it cornered me I slid under its leg and jumped on its back. It went to bite me but I leaped. I accidentally landed on Hunter. My bow was hooked around his neck and my leg was caught around his. I tried to get up but I was stuck and so was he.
"Ow, ow, why don't you, ow!" He muttered as I tried untangling us.
"You thinking what I'm thinking." Vika whispered to Viko.
"Haha most likely." He laughed inappropriately. I unhooked us and I stood up. I saw the Scauldron going to shoot again. I went to run but still somehow his leg was caught around mine. I tripped and fell.
"EYLIMI!" Mum said about to run through the gates as I saw the Scauldron going to shoot at me and Hunter. I saw its tail next to me. I grabbed it. The Scauldron looked at me for a second with an angry face as mum opened the gates to save me. I hugged the end of it hard and suddenly the Scauldron collapsed. The head landing next to Hunter and he tried to roll away but he was still stuck to me. Mum stopped in her tracks and stared at me. The others dropped their weapons looking at me with wide eyes. I let go of the Scauldrons tail as the Scauldron sat up and smiled at me. It nudged me and I pat its nose.
"Okay? So are we done? I've got some stuff I gotta, yep. Be back tomorrow." I said cutting the lace tied to Hunter from my shoe with a single touch of the end of my staff. As I walked out the Scauldron followed. I told it to stay there and it wandered back in as I continued walking. I heard no noise from the others as I left.
----time skip----
I walked down to the forest where I saw Cloudjumper waiting for me. He pricked his head up and wandered over to me.
"Hey buddy." I smiled as he copied. I saw his huge white teeth. One of them didn't look to good though. I noticed it was in bad shape. "Hold on I'll be right back." I told him as I ran to the forge to grab one of the dragon teeth Gobber makes. I found the perfect one sitting at the bottom of the basket with the rest. "Ha! Ya beauty!" I smiled as I left, back to find Cloudjumper. "Hey where did you..." I begin, to find him hanging from a tree with his claw in his mouth. That tooth must be really hurting. He came over to me and opened his mouth. Clearly he just wanted it over with. How am I going to do this? I looked at my staff to notice lots of little nobs on the end. I clamped to tooth between two of them and without even a pull it just fell right out.

"Grrr." Cloudjumper complained. I quickly replaced the spot with the new tooth. Hammering it in there
"There you go." I smiled. As I went to take my staff back it hit one of his other teeth and he smiled.
"Grrrr?" He purred. I brushed the tooth again with the end of the staff and he Continued to purr. Dragons like their teeth brushed? Cool. He stood their keeping his mouth open waiting for me to continue. I rolled my eyes.
----time skip----
"Ahhhhhh!" Hunter yelled charging at the whispering death coming towards me. I dropped my bow and it stopped to wonder what I was doing for a second. It heard the others coming towards it with rope to tie it down to force it to listen. I quickly started rubbing the staff against its teeth and it smiled. Dragons really do like their teeth being brushed. He collapsed to the floor enjoying it while Hunter froze in front of me holding the rope above his head.
----time skip----
"Come on!" I yelled as Cloudjumper dove down from the highest mountain in Berk. Suddenly he stopped half way and hovered in the air. "What are you..." I began but he turned to enter a tunnel in the side of the mountain. It was dark but somehow he knew where he was going. We entered a cave. It was glowing with glow worms in all corners of the room. He looked at the glow worms and started wagging his tail at them. Dragons like glow worms?
----time skip----
The Raincutter bolted towards me with its long neck stretched ready to shoot a blast. The others tried calling it over with lit torches attracting it to the fire but it kept running at me. I took my staff and swung it around once. I hit it on the ground and the rattles echoed through the arena. The dragon stopped and looked at me angrily for a second. The others continued yelling at it to come but it kept its focus on the small bag I have hanging around my skirt. I took it off my and pored its contents on the floor. The glow worms slid over each other as the dragons head dropped to take a closer look at them. It was memorised and hypnotised by their glowing colour. The others looked at me in shock and then started cheering. At the end of the lesson I began walking across the bridge but was constantly bother by them.
"How did you do that?" Mudskip asked.
"I never knew dragons were attracted to glow worms." Vidgrip stated.
"I've never seen a Raincutter do that." Viko complemented.
"Ah, I left my bag back there. You guys go on. I'll be back later." I said walking away. I walked past the arena completely missing it when I bumped into Hunter. "Umph, uh, sorry." I muttered still not looking up to him.
"No problem." He smiled. I smiled back and put my fringe behind my ear.
"Uh, I gotta go." I finished and continued walking. I didn't look back but I noticed he hadn't moved from that spot as I didn't hear him walking away.
----time skip----
"Hahahaha! Yeah!" I laughed as me and Cloudjumper raced over the mountains. We flew through different tunnels as I stood on his back and shot at the targets I set up. As we began to approach each target I grabbed another arrow and aimed to where it was. Just as we past I shot. It hit each target making the sound echo through the cave. We came out the other side and back into the sunlight. "Amazing!" I shouted into the never ending sky.
"Grrrrawwwww!" Cloudjumper yelled after suddenly I fell back and hit a specific spot on his neck. He began plummeting towards the land.
"Ahhhh! Cloudjumper wake up!" I yelled but he was still knocked out in a way. I thought of hitting him on the head with the staff but instead I shook it. Suddenly he heard the noise and pulled up. We skid across the top of the trees. "Ahhhhh! I yelled as I held my staff in one hand and held on to one of his neck flaps with the other. There was a large tree coming our was and Cloudjumper couldn't decide whether to go left or right.
"Left! LEFT YOU FOOL!" I yelled at him and pointed that direction with the staff. He heard the rattles in the end again and turned the way the noise came. We slowed down and I thought about what just happened. I shook the staff on the right to test and he turned right.
----time skip----
"Meet the Smokebreath!" Mum introduced as a tiny dragon ran out of its cage and stared at us.
"Ha! It's like the size of my.... Ahhhhhh! Get it off!" Viko yelled as the dragon tried snatching everything metal off him. After all a Smokebreaths purpose is to build a nest out of metallic objects. Vika laughed while Vidgrip pulled the tiny dragon off him. The dragon growled ready to attack again but I shook the staff and it followed the noise. It followed its way back into the cage. I looked up and smiled at everyone. They all looked at me with strange faces. Hunter gave me a smile.
