"Check the dragon's gait, Alvear! Hear that clink? Tells us somethin's off. Now, adjust the saddle strap—snug, not tight."
Ok… so I just wanna say I’m half human and half dragon
"Of course you are, Alvear! But let's focus on the task at hand. Now, turn the dragon left using the spurs. Quick, but gentle taps."
“My dad was Death itself and my mom was a Night Fury “ said Alvear about his parents
"Interesting lineage, Alvear. Now, hold the reins steady while I adjust the stirrup. We must ensure a secure fit for your dragon-riding adventures."
“Yeah because it would be embarrassing if I fell now wouldn’t it” Alvear said laughing
"Indeed, Alvear! Falling off your dragon can be quite... spectacular. Now, take up the leash and guide the dragon forward. Keep it slow, steady pace."
later on during training, hiccup comes up behind starrybanana
"Hmm, I've noticed you've been handling those reins with flair, Alvear! Impressive work there!
Thanks!! he says happy to hear that hiccup likes his work
"Keep up the fantastic work, Alvear! Remember to maintain a steady hand and a confident demeanor.
"Well done, Alvear! Your dragon seems to trust you completely now. It's wonderful to see how far you've come. Keep up the excellent work!"
Thanks so much mentor Hiccup!!
"Now, let's take things up a notch, Alvear! Prepare yourself for some advanced maneuvers.
"First, we'll start with a dive. Hold the reins tight and lean forward slightly. On the count of three—three! Dive!"
on three he dove into a dive with thunderstorm
"Impressive, Alvear! You're a natural! Now, let's move on to the next maneuver. This one will require precision and control.
thunderstorm didnt like that she snorted and bucked him off
"Careful there, Thunderstorm! No worries, Alvear, this happens to the best of us. Let's try again, shall we?"
yeah my dragon is just really stubborn sometimes haha
"Stubborn dragons can be quite the handful, Alvear! But don't worry, with time and patience, Thunderstorm will learn to trust you even more.
"Remember, Alvear, the key to taming a stubborn dragon is to establish clear communication and build trust. Keep practicing, and you'll get there!"
"Now, let's work on some advanced tricks with Thunderstorm. I want you to try a barrel roll. Hold the reins firmly and lean in sync with Thunderstorm.
Thunderstorm snorted before doing a barrel roll well with hiccup
"Fantastic job, Alvear! Thunderstorm is picking up on your cues beautifully. Keep up the great work and don't be afraid to push your limits!"
they did many more tricks until they went home for the night
"Another day of training comes to an end, Alvear. But remember, practice makes perfect. I believe in you and Thunderstorm.
"You're welcome, Alvear. Remember, when it comes to dragon riding, never give up. Keep pushing yourself and your dragon to their limits.
"That's the spirit, Alvear! Together, you and Thunderstorm will become an unstoppable team.
