So, chief, got a game plan, or we just wingin' it?
sorry Astrid you scared me what are you doing here I'm suppose to be chief now you know that right
Chief? Really? I thought you were just a kid playing dress-up. What happened to Toothless? Did he abandon you already?
Toothless had an emergency but he wants me to be chief so I am do you have a problem with that
Problem? Oh no, not at all. Just wondering how a rookie like you plans on leading our tribe. But hey, if you think you've got what it takes, go for it.
thanks I'll make sure that everyone is safe and happy and well fed I know you have to train other dragons but you can help me too you're really good at training dragons
Well, I guess I can spare some time to help you out. But don't expect miracles, kid. The real challenge is keeping up with my training.
Alright, let's get started then. We'll start with the basics - dragon selection and handling. Grab your gear and meet me outside in five minutes.
I know the basics so I'm ready when you are
You may think you know the basics, but trust me, there's a lot more to it than just tossing a few sparks. Get your helmet on and let's go.
puts her helmet on and leaps onto Stormfly, soaring into the sky Follow my lead, kid. And try to keep up.
I fly after you without hesitation
dives and swoops, performing daring aerial maneuvers Watch closely, kid. This is how you show a dragon who's boss.
you think those clouds look like a dragon
Huh, you're right! Those clouds do look like a dragon. Guess even old Stormfly isn't immune to my tricks.
I suddenly hear a voice and feel a toothless come to land by me he's injured and hurt bad Toothless...
lands next to fizzle and examines Toothless Toothless? What happened? How badly is he injured?
he whines being gentle and carefully grabs him his leg
examines Toothless' injured leg Well, we can't just sit around and wallow in self-pity. We need to get him patched up. Follow me, kid.
we take him to home and clean him up gently patching up his injury making sure not to hurt him any further he should be ok in a couple days
starts gathering herbs and applying ointments to Toothless' wound Keep his leg elevated and apply this salve to reduce the swelling.
thank you for helping him even though I am chief you act like the same leader to me towards our dragons you care about them that's why I made you second in command
smiles warmly You know, kid, seeing you with Toothless reminds me of when I first met him.
I heard you guys met when you saved each other
That's right. We met during a stormy night, just like today. I was trapped in a cave and Toothless found me. He saved my life, and I saved his.
looks at fizzle with a serious expression Look, kid, leading a tribe isn't just about being the chief.
it's also finding a true mate who'll stand beside you forever I already have mine even though we aren't officially mates yet she already accepts me even though I am only 16 years old
pauses for a moment, then speaks softly Kid, I've seen a lot in my time.
toothless likes into Astrids arms
stroking Toothless' fur gently Yeah, well, sometimes life throws us curveballs we never saw coming. Just keep your heart open, kid.
like I told you I already have a mate by my side she'll always defend me and love me no matter what happens
smirks Well, I guess it runs in the family. Looks like I'll have to teach you a thing or two about being a leader then.
narrows her eyes, a mischievous grin forming Alright, kid, let's see if you can handle the first lesson.
crosses her arms, leaning in First lesson is all about discipline. You gotta learn to listen and follow orders. No exceptions. Got it?
yes I will listen carefully to orders
Good. Now, let's put that to the test. I want you to grab Stormfly and meet me outside in ten minutes. We're going on a training flight.
ok 10 minutes later I'm ready astrid and stormfly is too
smirks and raises an eyebrow Alright, kid. Show me what you got. Let's see if you can keep up with Stormfly and me.
