What Will It Take? Chapter 1

I crept up, making sure to not be heard, then, dove into the water, not making a sound nor splash. My scales changed to sea colors, making me almost invisible to any dragon. My teacher watched me, looking mildly interested . “Good, you are ready for school, but you must prove your leadership skills with one final test. You must lead an attack on the Seawing home.” I looked shocked, then, my wings shot out. “No! They are our allies! Toothless, no!”

“You must.” He flew up, onto a ledge, and I followed him. He looked at me, then said, “This is for the good of the tribe. You will be defeating the greatest enemy known to Night Furies!” I looked at him in anguish. “My only friend is in that tribe! I can’t be expected to kill her and her tribe! It’s not right!” I glared at Toothless angrily. Toothless looked at me with rage.“You aren’t right! Your scales change color, your plasma is the wrong color, you can breathe underwater, and, you can speak and translate Aquatic! Let’s face it, you are never going to be a true Night Fury! No matter how hard you study, work, or try, you will never be one of us!” The cold, hard truth hit me like a tsunami wave crashing down on me. He looked like he regretted what was just said. “Well, at least I never had to rely on a human to fly!” Toothless looked shocked and deeply hurt.

Boom! Crash! Bang! Catapults were being launched on our base. Not good! My scales ripples into gray and black colors. I was in the air before I knew it. I quickly shot a plasma blast at a dragon hunter trying to chain a night fury, and the dragon-proof metal broke like a stick. The dragon’s head swiveled, then she just flew away, as quick as she could. I dove into the battle field, and shot plasma at all the ships I could. There seemed like there was no end to my plasma! It was awesome, and somewhere in the battle, the Seawings had come to help us. Their big tails were great for sinking ships, and they looted treasure, unloaded any dragons already loaded onto the boat. We weren’t letting any human take us alive! Then, I saw it, flying toward me. My eyes widened, and I dove and was too late. I was a caught in a net.
