《The Soul Of A Night Fury [How To Train Your Dragon] EDITING》Morning Race
Advertisement
I waited outside of Hiccup's house with my Deadly Nadder, Stormfly. I noticed Toothless asleep on the roof. So that means Hiccup didn't go out today. It's been one full week since the Red Death battle. Thanks to Hiccup, Dragons and Vikings live peacefully on Berk. Hiccup's doing okay too. He's still coping with not having part of his leg but I'm sure he'll survive it.
He's a Viking he can live with it. "... Hey sorry, I'm late," Hiccup came out of his house yawning then looked up at Toothless on the roof.
"You finally decide to show up," I say to him.
He whistled to Toothless then looked at me. "Yeah. I'm sorry." Toothless came down then started purring by Hiccup's side.
"Well your up now, so let's go," I say to him. He looks at me then to Toothless.
For the short period of time he was looking at me I notice something different... No, I'm just seeing things. "Okay, let's go," he says then gets on Toothless. I climb on Stormfly. "The last one to the cove has to drink rotten Yak Milk," he says then shoots up into the sky quickly.
Of course. Night Furies are fast. Deadly Nadder's are fast too. But not as fast as Night Furies.
"Stormfly go! Catch up to Toothless!" She shoots up into the sky. I see Toothless and Hiccup waiting in the air. Once he knows I'm up they shoot off into the direction of the cove. Typical Hiccup! I shot after him but can't catch up. I try to go faster. Can't see then.
Huh? I could've sworn he was here. Stormfly stops flying forward and just hovers in the spot. Where'd did he go? "Hiccup?" No reply. "Hiccup?"

Just then the clouds above me moved as a Night Fury came down quickly. "You called?" Hiccup asked.
"Disappearing act. Very funny."
"I don't know why you stayed here looking for me." He started. "If you have continued going you would've been at the Cove already." He adds then flies off a full speed.
Oh, he's right. If I wasn't so worried about where he was, I would've beat him. "C'mon Stormfly, after him," Stormfly shoots after him as fast as she can. But of course, I lost him.
After a few seconds, I see the cove. "Yes!" I fly down quickly landing by the spring. No sign of Hiccup or Toothless. "Yes, I beat him!"
"You really think so?"
I whip around to see Hiccup sitting on a rock and Toothless staring at me from an overhanging branch. "How long have you been here?" I ask him.
Hiccup looked at his leg then looked up. "About a minute or so." He started then balanced himself on both legs. "Never underestimate the speed of a Night Fury,"
"I know. They're fast," I say sighing.
"Deadly Nadders have incredible speed too, but they're heavy, they weigh themselves down, so their speed goes down." It's a good thing Hiccup knows a lot about dragons. If it weren't for him, everyone with Dragons on Berk would be so clueless.
"That's true," I say to him.
He sits gone in the center of a dirt circle with a lot of lines in it. He avoided all the lines than found himself in the middle. He sits on the rock in the middle then looked at me.
I slowly walk away from Stormfly. As I walk I step on one of the lines. Toothless growled from his spot. I lift my foot quickly. Toothless relaxed.

"Don't step on the lines," Hiccup pointed out.
"Okay..." I breathe then walk over the lines. I moved back and forth, left and right to try and avoid the lines. Slowly and carefully I reach the centre where Hiccup was. "What's that all that about?" I ask sitting down.
"Oh, when a Toothless and I first met, he drew this picture with a tree. I don't know what it is, but it means something to him." Hiccup started. "When you step on a line it's like breaking trust. I gained his trust after he drew this."
"You and Toothless really do have a good relationship."
"Yeah. We do, don't we bud?" Hiccup answered then asked his dragon.
Toothless roared in agreement. I laugh a little. "I used to always come here when I hid Toothless. This is where he crashed and this is where he stayed until I built him that tail." Hiccup said calmly.
"You built that first tail?" I ask him.
"Yeah," I knew he was smart in inventing things. He's always doing that. But I didn't know he could build an entire tail fin, connecting piece and saddle.
"Then Gobber made that one, but of course I made a few tweaks to it."
I smile. He's made so much since the Red Death battle. He lost a leg in that battle and he's okay with it. "You're done so much for the village, Hiccup. We thank you for that." I start. "You don't even have any time for yourself now." I say to him.
He turns to me. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, you're the head of the dragon training academy, you're the best dragon trainer Berk has ever seen,"
He looks away. Avoiding my look. "Yeah, but that's the only reason I'm known in Berk now. I mean, I'm the chief's only son and I'm not even noticed. I'm only noticed now because I brought peace between Dragons and Vikings." He explains standing up slowly.
He slowly and carefully makes his way out of Toothless' drawing, then goes to the spring next to it.
I follow him. "Well that doesn't matter now, that's the past," I say to him. "What matters now, is what you did for Berk. And how proud you made your father."
He nods slowly. "Yeah, that's true."
"Now c'mon. Soon it's gonna' be you drinking the rotten Yak Milk," I say then run to Stormfly. He runs to Toothless then waits a couple of seconds. For a moment I thought he was going to let me win. Until he shot up at full speed. Once again. Typical Hiccup.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
