The Soul Of A Night Fury [How To Train Your Dragon] EDITING

Trust Training

Astrid's P.O.V.

The gang followed Hiccup on our dragons. He wanted to d some training exercise with us. Maybe it'll take his mind off of what's bugging him.

Hiccup shot out to the middle of the water where spiky rocks were pointing out.

"Why are we here?" Tuff asked.

"This is a trust exercise." Hiccup started closing Toothless' tail.

Toothless lost balance but managed to stay up.

"You're dragon needs to trust you. Always." He started again but cut off with a sneeze.

"But you need to trust you're dragon too." he added letting himself fall backwards falling down towards the sharp rocks.

"He's crazy!" I heard Snotlout yell.

"Yeah," Tuffnut agreed.

Toothless dove down chasing Hiccup.

He managed to grab Hiccup before hitting the rocks. Hiccup got back on him pulling him barely skimming the water.

His tail was still closed. Hiccup opened it shooting up into the air above us.

He flew back to us stopping hovering in the air.

"Like that." Hiccup told us about the free fall. Toothless only shot then blasts for fun.

"Who's next?" Hiccup asked.

"Ill do it!" Snotlout yelled falling off of Hookfangs back.

Hookfang continued to fly straight.

"Think we should say something to Hookfang?" Tuffnut asked.

"Lemme sleep lm it." Ruff told him.

Toothless let out a loud screech.

"Hookfang... Snotlout." Hiccup hissed.

Hookfang looked down to see Snotlout falling. He dove to reach him.

Hiccup sighed madly. Hookfang wasn't going to make it.

"Toothless!"

Toothless did a spiral dive towards Snotlout spinning past Hookfang.

He caught Snotlout in his claws pulling up. He dropped in on Hookfang shooting back up to us. Hookfang followed.

Snotlout scratched the back of his head looking at Hiccip.

"Thanks..." he told him embarrassed.

Hiccup gave him a faint smile then looked to Fishlegs.

"You?" Hiccup pointed to him.

Fishlegs froze on Meatlug.

"No, I'm good."

"It's a trust exercise. You need to trust that Meatlug will catch you." Hiccup told him.

"Hiccup, I rather do my trusting on the ground!" Fishlegs complained.

"NOW!" Hiccup snapped out of no where to Fishlegs.

I look to Hiccup.

"Hiccup, I'll do it. Leave Fishlegs be," I say standing up on Stormfly's back.

I backflip off of her falling back first to get more surface.

Stormfly shot underneath me as I land in her back.

I go back to Hiccup and the gang.

"It's not that hard!" I tell Fishlegs.

"Hiccup made it look hard!" he whined.

"How?" Hiccup asked.

"The way you just backed off of Toothless. What if he didn't catch you?"

"He'll always catch me. I trust him." Hiccup grunted. "And you should trust Meatlug to catch you." Hiccup explained surprisingly calm.

He's been very tense lately. I don't think he knows he's doing it.

Toothless balanced himself letting out a screech.

"Yeah, you're right bud, we better we get home!" He muttered pulling up.

"I'll see you all later." He told us leaving.

I look to Snotlout.

"He's not himself." He told me.

"I know."

"And we can't spy on him, he'll know."

"We need to be more secret." I say.

"He'll still know."

I sigh knowing he's right. There's clearly something bugging him, something he may not know about.
