Mabil flew over the coast on Dara’s back, watching the water below rush past them. Dara tilted her body slightly, one of her wings gliding through the water. Mabil reached a hand out to touch the water, mimicking her dragon. Suddenly Mabil pulled Dara straight up, and the pair went spiraling up into the sky. Mabil smiled proudly, and let Dara glide calmly through the air. They had been working on their tricks for a while, and it was the first time they had gotten their spiral near perfect. It was a pretty simple trick, but Mabil was determined to perfect it. Their flying tricks weren’t a priority in her or Dara’s life, but they both enjoyed the time together.


The Viking in training allowed Dara to fly lower, until finally they landed on a nearby beach. Mabil hopped off of Dara, giving the nadder a short break. Dara wandered off towards the water, gazing at her own reflection. Mabil found a stick and began to plan out more tricks they could attempt to do. She began to draw out more complicated spins and dives, using the natural rock formations around the coast as obstacles. She crossed out her plans, smiling with new found determination. Mabil constantly felt the need to train and improve herself, so not only did the tricks serve as bonding time. They also served as a tool to help Dara and Mabil improve their teamwork and flying skills. Dara was still relatively young, so Mabil knew they needed the extra practice on their flying and teamwork. Dara hobbled over and nudged Mabil, who fell back with a small smile. “I know girl, ready to go again?” She asked her overly-excited dragon. Dara loved the flying, so Mabil did too.

The air was chilly against Rowens bare skin, even though he prepared for the worst it was still getting to him. The metal plated armor he pieced together the night before help with warmth witch he gladly thanked himself for. His gloved hands held tight to the looped horn at the top of his brown saddle,his black hair pushed back by the force as he leaned forewords to his dragons neck, Ceadon suddenly diving strait for the oceans icy water. His wing folded against his scaled sides at the water neared just to harshly open them and smoothly glide across just the top of the wavy water,letting Rowen place a hand against it before zooming past the beach so fast the water left a cut mark with water flying everywhere.

Rowens eyes met the one who was standing at the beach, a girl and her dragon a deadly nadder he guessed but it was only for a brief second as Ceadon swooped a large circle and dove straight and clean into the water just in front of the pair leaving only ripples. It took about a half of a minute before they both pushed out of the water in a harsh spiral up into the air spraying droplets of water all around them. The skrill opened his wings yet again as they got higher and higher with the spiral just to free fall down yet again, back first twords the water.

[Mabil&Dara]

Mabil went to the side of her nadder, preparing to mount when she suddenly heard the flapping of wings overhead. She saw a flash of movement over top of the water and spun around to see what it was. She didn’t turn fast enough to see. Mabil stood with one hand on Dara, and slowly mounted while searching the area around them. She could still hear the wings and sudden gusts of wind, so she knew something was there. “What’s out there?” she wondered out loud, mainly to herself.

The sound grew stronger, indicating that it had come closer, when Mabil finally saw what it was. It was a boy not much older looking than her riding what appeared to be a skrill. Mabil was almost amazed at their flying abilities, until the skrill dove into the water and spiraled upwards, leaving droplets of water falling hard on Mabil and Dara. “Can you watch where you’re going?” Mabil shouted, though her voice faltered at the end as her mouth nearly dropped in awe. “I mean I thought we were good, but dang,” she said to her dragon, who also watched the pair free fall backwards into the water. Dara was a bit angry at being shown up. She took off into the air, sending Mabil lunging to hold on to the spikes on her head to keep from falling off.

Mabil instantly understood what Dara was going to do. She decided to go with it, not letting on that her own dragon was basically out of control at the moment. Dara spiraled through the air and then dove close to the water, dragging her tail through it. She flew upwards, dodging large rock formations, and then spiraled upwards to land on top of one. Mabil hopped off to stand next to Dara, laughing quietly to herself. “We need to work on that a lot, but good job ya little show off,” she said to the nadder. Dara nudged Mabil again, obviously quite happy with herself. Mabil was a little embarrassed at her losing control, she just hoped the guy didn’t pay enough attention to notice.

Rowen held on tight as they continued to free fall down to the water before spiraling and then suddenly landed in the sand were the pair use to be. The skrill landed near perfect out of the spiral as Rowen jumped off his back with a huff before turning to his dragon with a smile." That was amazing Ceadon, nice work bud." He appraisal made Ceadon growl whit happiness as Rowen padded his scaly side." Now go on" He shooed before walking over to a large log that sat half way buried in the sand and sat on it still panting from the ride.

Ceadon nodded swiftly before taking off into the air backwards then straightened himself out to practice flying on his own. Rowen trusted him that much. Rowen set his arms against his knees as he stared at the sand. He watched the girl take off after they showed up and wondered where she went. He looked up a little and began to peer around the beach and out into the ocean when he saw the small figures of something onto op a large ocean rock and new it was them.
It was ceadon who snapped him out of his thinking when he roared furiously as he landed next to his rider, laying next to him in the warm sand and awaited his riders command. Ceadon never really ventured far from Rowen.

[Mabil&Dara]

Mabil watched from her place on the rock as the pair free fell towards the water and then spiraled to land on the sand where Mabil and Dara stood moments before. Dara also watched, growling slightly. “Oh chill, they seem alright,” the girl said to her dragon. Dara calmed down slightly, but it was just the way the dragon was. She didn’t enjoy the company of most other dragons, but she could tolerate them for Mabil.


Mabil knew it wasn’t always good to approach an unknown Viking, but she was sure he was from Berk and her curiosity was getting the best of her. “Come on girl, let’s see who they are,” Mabil said as she hopped back on to her dragon and flew down to the beach. She landed away from the guy, watching his dragon flying by itself before coming to land next to its rider. Mabil cautiously approached the unfamiliar Viking with Dara following right behind her. “So did you teach him to fly like that or has he always been that way?” Mabil asked as she approached. Her curiosity had won, as usual, but so far Dara wasn’t sensing any trouble. Dara was the one with the sense of what was truly smart and what wasn’t, usually keeping the two out of trouble. If Dara was okay with it, then surely the guy was safe to be around.

The flapping of wings made Rowen look up and towords the direction to see as the sound got louder. The viking girl up on the nadder was flying to them and Rowen stood up, brushing the sand off his shirt and pants before they arived. Ceadon instantly stood up and eyed the pair for a moment before laying back down in the warm sand. He did't see no threat before closing his eyes.

Rowen looked to the viking girl as she landed a little ways down the beack before walking towords them slowly." Um no i kind of tout him to do some of the stuff but he does the rest" Rowen said looking to his dragon who wasn't even paying attention." Well he was" He said before looking to the girl." Im Rowen."

Ceadon casually looked up to see the nadder standing behind the strange girl before rising to full height. Growling and introduction to her before stepping closer to his rider, lowering his head to sniff the unknown viking." Ceadon stop it thats rude" Rowen said before pushing his neck and face away." Sorry about that he thinks your going to give him something." Rowen said before rubbing the ack of his head. "So whats your name?"

[Mabil&Dara]

Mabil didn’t realize how direct she had been until the guy answered her question, she hadn’t even introduced herself yet. She smiled at the guy’s answer, looking at his dragon in wonder. “Well you both are awesome, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody with those flying skills,” Mabil said. She heard the Viking introduce himself, but she was too busy watching his skrill.

The dragon stood up to full height, growling at Dara and then coming to sniff Mabil. Dara stepped forward and also let out a growl as the skrill got closer. “Don’t you dare,” Mabil said, pushing her dragon back a little bit. Dara took her place behind Mabil again and lowered her head to the ground, but didn’t let the skrill out of her sight. “It’s fine, I’m use to my girl knocking me down every chance she gets,” Mabil replied, looking back to make sure Dara was behaving herself.

“Oh, right! I totally forgot to introduce myself,” Mabil said, suddenly a little flustered. “I’m Mabil, and this is my nadder, Dara.” Dara perked up at the sound of her name, but quickly went back to watching the guy’s dragon. She already didn’t like other dragons and her owner’s competitive side had rubbed off on her a bit, so she was jealous and wary after seeing the dragon fly the way it had.

"Nice to meet you Mabil and you Dara" He said as he looked at the lowered nadder who seemed to keep a watchful eye on his dragon, who was staring straight back, a glare on his face as if they were insulting each other. Rowen suddely looked up at the clear blue sky and then black to Mabil."Hey. Do you want to take a flight with me? baby i can teach you a few things" He said trying to be a little Curdious but sounded off a little to inviting." Well you don't have to i was just asking." Now a little embarrassed he quickly walked over to his dragon who leaned down to he could slip a foot in the stirrup before hauling himself over and on the saddle, gripping the looped horn at the top.

Ceadon shook his head a little, sand flying a little from his scales before rising with his wings to look at the small nadder. Rowen new he was taunting the dragon with a small growl and huff. He moved his shoulders with a small taunt and opened his wings to full hight.

"Easy boy she didn't even say yes yet." Ceadon just looked to him with a smile.

[Mabil&Dara]

The nadder kept watching the other dragon, though she perked up again when she heard her name for a second time. Mabil watched the two dragons, not wanting them to get into any kind of fight. Mabil laughed at what Rowen said, his embarrassment etched clearly on his face. “Are you kidding me?” Mabil asked rhetorically. She took his invitation as a challenge, and even Dara seemed to get excited at flying with them. “You’re on,” Mabil said, hopping on to Dara. Dara eyed the other dragon as he taunted her, and Mabil could feel her ready to take off beneath her.


Mabil urged Dara upward, and the two shot into the sky. Mabil stopped Dara after a certain point, who flapped her wings to stay in place as they waited for Rowen and Ceadon. “We’re not gonna let them show us up, we’re gonna give it all we've got girl,” Mabil said to her dragon, who grunted in agreement. Mabil’s competitive side was getting the best of her, she was always up for competition and a flight with this guy was definitely going to prove to be challenging. Dara usually remained cool-headed during their competitions, but the nadder was starting a rivalry between the skrill and herself. Mabil smiled, excited to learn more from the guy Viking and to hopefully teach him a few things as well.
