How to be a dragon tamer

The long journey

Chapter 2: The long journey

Aww man today we go on that stupid camp I thought as I woke up from a bed in the back shed. It wasn't very comfortable but it was good enough. I walked back inside and ate some breakfast then went onto packing my clothes and other things for my school trip to some old island called Berk or whatever.

I never heard of it but all I know is that there are bears and deer's thanks to our history teacher Mr Fornten. Once I finished packing I walked back to the shed and looked at my sword, shield and helmet. I stared at them for a while and threw them into my bag hiding them as best as I could. There is only one thing left and that is my first invention well not that much of an invention its just an armour with shoulder pads but I think it looks good. I went to grab it and realised my mask goes with it 'well this old thing might come in handy while we're there' I muttered to myself packing the armour away.

Dad beeped the car horn calling for me to hurry up so I locked the doors and ran into the car making sure I didn't bump the bag making the sword open. We traveled in silence until dad said

"I got you something that your great grand father asked my dad to give you. Its a side bag with a dragon symbol on the side. This dragon symbol has been in our family for generations and is said to be the most terrifying dragon something like a dark blurry or something."

When he finished I thanked him and looked at the dragon and felt my heart race faster. I shook my head and focused on the road again....

We made it a few minutes ago and I said bye to my dad and got on the bus in the middle section of seats. I focused on was what my dad told me earlier on the way. This dragon has been apart of our family for generations what did he mean? I shook my head again and fell asleep. When I woke up all the kids were singing the stupid wheels on the bus go round and round song so I tried to tune them out and think about this place called Berk. I wonder if its a nice place or if there are any people living there? Just as I finished thinking the bus stopped and the kids piled off so I grabbed my bag and made my way to the dock where we were getting a boat to Berk seeing its in the middle of the ocean. We boarded and set off into some fog that wasn't to thick but still scary. Soon I again fell asleep.

Time skip

Finally we arrived and the place looks quite decent all round. We all got a room to ourselves seeing there were so many houses around so I walked off to mine. The inside was quite cool and looked as if Vikings had lived here before. I walked up stairs and saw a room with carvings and sketches quote like my shed to tell you the truth  but one thing caught my eye. In the back there was a picture of a man and his dragon and the man looked like me and the dragon looked like the one on the bag. For a second I thought about if this man could of been and ancestor and he could of had a dragon. But thats impossible dragons didn't exist or did they become extinct like the dinosaurs.

Flash back

--------------------

"Elyas our family is very important in history one day you will learn about an ancestor called Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III who tamed a dragon and was the first to ride one. When that day comes you will tame the same species as did he."

End of flashback

Those were the words my grandfather used before his passing. Oh well I guess I'll just have to find out who the guy is in the picture to be sure of myself. I then turn to look for a bed where I find one with no mattress. I sighed and put the bag at the end of the bed and surprisingly fall asleep very easily on the plank bed.
