welcome to Selardalr Part-2

Previous chapter....

"Right, no one's told you. Well, you can just call us the Silent Wolf Tribe."

Welcome to the Island of Selardalr!"

NOW~~~

........................................................................

"Selardalr?" Hiccup questioned, tilting his head slightly as Toothless did when he got confused. The dragon in question mimicked the expression more visibly. "I've never heard of an island called Selardalr. Or the 'Silent wolf' Tribe."

"Does it matter?" Syn asked. "We fight, we sail around, we get attacked by dragons, we drink mead until the yaks come home. We're pretty much your average Viking tribe, 'cept for our name." She shook her head at this last part – it was always mortifying for her to hear her tribe's name spoken, especially when she and her father were visiting other tribes around the archipelago, for obvious reasons. "I mean, really, 'silent wolf Tribe'? I'd like to meet the guy who actually had the lapse in shame to saddle us with a ridiculous name like that. Sure, we're a little ignorant, but we're not that type who keeps silent or not scream if someone attacks us with a weapon , at least no more than any other tribe." Hiccup chuckled at her little joke.

"Okay. So, like I asked before, how were you riding a dragon?" Syn asked, getting down on her knees and pressing her face up to his at lightning speed, excited in no small part to hear the mysterious boy's story. "No, actually, scratch that. Why did he let you ride him?"

"You're a curious girl, aren't you?" Hiccup said. It was technically a question, but his tone made it sound like a statement.

"I have to be," Syn pointed out, shrugging again. "Everyone else is wondering why, but no one wants to get close enough to you and your dragon to ask."

Hiccup smiled as he reached out his free hand to pat his faithful companion on the snout, making him purr in contentment. "His name's Toothless."

Syn was perplexed at the name, thinking it a misnomer for a moment. "Toothless? I know I saw-" Toothless looked over at her and mimicked a smile. His teeth weren't there. "Teeth... on that... dragon..." Syn's voice faltered in surprise. "How-how did he...?"

"I don't know," Hiccup admitted. "I guess it's just something Night Fury's do." At that moment, his teeth reappeared, making Syn jump back in surprise. Hiccup and Toothless both chuckled at her priceless expression, and even Alvis giggled a bit.

Syn pouted for a bit at their laughing at her expense, but soon smiled. For a long moment, her eyes lit up and they didn't look as unnerving as before. "So are you gonna tell me about riding Toothless or what?" She asked as she crossed her arms in expectation.

"Gee, Syn. I don't even know where to start," Hiccup sighed.

"How about when you first got him."

"All right then, here goes." And with that, Hiccup began to talk; actually, it was more like rambling. Hiccup guessed that he was so glad to tell someone about Toothless and finally get the secret off his chest that he started to blab to no end. He started from the beginning, from how he shot down Toothless, to how he found him in the woods and bonded with him in the cove, to how he made his tail, to how he learned tricks and dragons that had never been known before, to how he used that in Dragon Training. Though he had taken a few bites of the food at first, the tray Syn brought and all its contents were soon forgotten as the story went on. Alvis had fallen asleep on Hiccup's lap, while Toothless, curled around his rider, listened to the story closely.
