Spoiler warning: this chapter contains spoilers from A new Boy in Berk: Defenders of Berk chapters 9 and 10
If I had to swap riders with someone for a day, I definitely wouldn't choose Hookfang because Snotlout made him train nonstop to the point where he couldn't light himself in fire anymore and if a dragon like a Monstrous Nightmare loses their fire... they could die
We were all worried for Hookfang, even Snotlout dropped some tears but he blamed the dust. Luckily, with the help of some Fireworms, tiny dragons whose scales can be hotter than the sun itself, Hookfang was able to light himself in fire a bit but it wasn't enough
When all hope seemed lost, Hiccup had the idea to use some of Berk's fireworms to guide us to their island
When we arrived, Hiccup, Snotlout and Blake went to look for the Fireworms' nest which was more like a hive with a queen who wasn't happy with the presence of intruders in her hive, but after a long chase, the Fireworm queen saw Hookfang and she saved him with her venom
So, if I had to swap riders with someone for a day, Toothless would be a better option. I don't know if it was good or bad luck but thanks to a training exercise that Hiccup came up with, that happened
For a day Hiccup became my rider and Blake became Toothless' rider. At first it was fun, I messed around with Hiccup when we went for a flight but then things didn't go so well
Hiccup gave me to much mutton to eat, so I got a stomach ache... well, it's also probably my fault for eating too fast, so I couldn't really move for a couple of minutes until I recovered
That night I was supposed to sleep on the rock that Toothless uses as a bed but it's really uncomfortable, how can Toothless sleep on it?
Oh, speaking of nights. Every ten years during and aurora known as Aurvandil's Fire, a dragon known as the Flightmare appears
It's said the Flightmare can freeze any man in fright at that's what happened to "The Fearless Finn Hofferson" who was Astrid's uncle
Unfortunately, he was killed by the Flightmare when he last appeared, so Astrid was more than decided to restore the honor of her clan by killing the Flightmare
When she knew which way does the Flightmare take every time, she wanted to go and hunt it, so Hiccup, Toothless, Blake and I went with her just in case she tried something that could put her in danger
For not making the story too long, Toothless, Stormfly, Meatlug and I ate some kind of algae that made us glow, Toothless glowed in purple, Meatlug glowed in green, I glowed in a more intense purple than Toothless' but Stormfly glowed in yellow
Gods, I would be lying if I say she didn't look pretty, I even forgot about my own name for a second
A-anyway, we were able to create a new path for the glowing algae, so the Flightmare followed it and left Berk alone
Today, we had to practice our rescuing skills, so we went to a sea stack near of a boat
The first ones were Snotlout and Hookfang, so they flew towards the boat with a dummy and grabbed it. Then, they started to do a loop as Snotlout cheered
"You know, I hate to admit it, but Snotlout actually looks like he worked on his rescue training" Hiccup said
"I didn't think Hookfang would even be part of it" Toothless said as impressed as his rider
"I don't know, knowing him, things are going to get out of hand in the next 10 seconds" Blake said just before Hookfang dived into the sea
"Uh... Hookfang knows how to swim?" Meatlug asked
