Beat nodded.
"The eel Islands would be perfect, but there are many other
Taifumerangs... The Main reason we Keep him here. And when we bring
him to the lakes, he scares Away the other dragons.", he explained
while feeding Scorchblade.
The Dragon tried to get into the bucket with his head.
Beat gave the dragon a pat on his nose.
"No.", he scolded.
The Dragon roared loud and angry.
Then he Sat down and Made Puppy eyes.
"That's better!", he laughed and gave the last Pieces of eel over.
“Maybe, mine Island would be a great for him to hunt and feel free.
No dragon or inhabitants.” Oakley said, a bit sadden. “Anyways,
There’s probably lots of fish there now. But it is a days flight
and a night.” Oakley said, I also have to train Whisp on that as
well, so she won’t get that tired. She thought.
"I see...", Beat said, petting Scorchblade who had rested his head
in the boy's lap.
The Dark haired blushed, scratching the back of his head...
again.
"Uhm... you know...", Beat started, "Eeerh, I watched you two Fly
this morning and..."
He closed his eyes and shouted:
"WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME ABOUT HOW TO TRAIN A DRAGON?"
Torcher glanced at him with a taunting grin.
[AN: That's it! Beat wants to know the thing! :'D But how to train
your Dragon If you don't have One on your own? Guess that's a
riddle Open to Oakley.
And what is Skittish's Secret? Will we ever know?]
Shocked from both question and the tell. “Ah... [She coughs to
clear her mind and throat.] Well, you need to know what dragon will
be your trusty friend, and by that I don’t know if you have a
dragon that’s willing to share the life.” Oakley said, as she
looked at Whisp, who looked at Beat and Torch. “I mean Torch seemed
to trust you, but learning to trust him is the big idea. Like
constantly learning each other’s ability.” She informed.
He looked at the dragon in his lap.
"But... Torcher 's a patient. He came here so we could help him
live a normal life again... How do I even know it's a Good thing a
Dragon is by your Side?", Beat wondered.
"All dragons of this Island Work here, it's what they do... If they
don't want to Stay, they just go. Same goes for the dragons that we
Take Care of; as soon as they are healthy, they can go home and me
and Skittish are Happy about it."
He looked troubled. "Maybe it's just a thing for dragons and people
that Grow up together like you two."
[AN: Dude worries a lot. Also: DID YOU JUST ASSUME YOUR SISTER'S
OPINION? :'D]
Whisp looked impatient with Beat. She roared a question to Torch,
as Whisp bounded around quiet bored herself. “It’s true about how
dragon’s feeling, but if they form a trust between you, it’s quite
different from what the dragon’s wants, they see you as a friend or
even more than that. “Come, I’ll show you.” Oakley said, as she got
up and walked to the enterance. Whisp was still bounding around
playing with the berry.
Oakley, let out a sharp whistle, as a black dot shot forward. Whisp
had the berry in mouth as she landed, she let out an protest roar,
as she ate the berry. “The important thing is to know your dragon,
it’s weakness and what makes it strong.” Oakley said, she laid her
hand on Whisp’s snout. And the dragon cooed softly as she closed
her eyes and relaxed.
Beat hummed impressed.
"We know a lot about dragons here, also Thanks to the Sentinels.
But I hardly can imagine most of that is useful to, uhhh...
fly a dragon."
Skittish entered the cave, Torch in her hand.
She waved the Secret Code, letting him know she's here.
A shadow stepped out of the Darkness and she immediatly greeted him
with a hug.
"I've missed you...", she whispered.
“Of course it is, making sure that your dragon is clear minded,
relax, and listening is important for flying.” Oakley said, as she
felt Whisp’s heart beat slow down. She was already for the flight
up. The two shot up into the air before flapping in a good place.
“Remember how I was falling through the air? That’s what I call a
trust fall.” Oakley shouted from the air.
“Yea! BUT I LOVE RIDING AND LEARNING, THEY TOGETHER!” Oakley
shouted back, giving a disapproval shake from Whisp, as her ears
bent back to block the loud shouting, “Anyway, IT SEEMS LIKE TORCH
LIKES YOU A LOT, MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY TO RIDE HIM.” Oakley said,
thinking of her theory, “NO DRAGON WITH A TEMPER OR SOCAIL PROBLEM
WOULD BE AROUND A HUMAN.”
Beat hesitated, but finally shrugged.
"You probably know better!", he said.
The young boy walked back, where Torchblade was sunbathing. The
Dragon looked up, watching him closely.
He went over, patting the dragons back, who relaxed.
After taking a Deep breath, he climbed up After saying: "Okay bro,
here we go!"
...
At First, the big dragon did nothing, seemingly testing the new
weight.
Then, he screeched in joy and bolted up in the sky- and straight
into a Flight Away from the Island. With Beat still on his back.
“Ah! Maybe we should’ve made them a saddle, but he is still is a
wild dragon, get in front of them.” Oakley said, as Whisp
effortless caught up with the big dragon, “Let him know that you
have control over him, it’s either you or the dragon, when it comes
to flight, but equality on ground, YOU TWO NEED TO COORDINATE!”
Oakley called out to Best.
Beat was busy holding onto the slippery back.
Still he was able to wonder, Why the dragon was carrying him
Away.
But Oakley... Oakley he wasn't able to hear at all.
Scorchblade roared, scaring off some seagulls.
They already were over the Ocean and the dragon kept his gaze
determined on the Horizon.
Whisp shot forward, as she made a block and made herself Big to
make it look like she was the same size as Torch, she let out and
eardeathing roar, as she clapped there in place, “TORCH STOP.”
OAKLEY YELLED. She put her hand out as a stop sign.
“YOU COULD’Ve TOLD ME THAT.” Oakley shouted, allowing Torchblade to
go, Whsip and Oakley followed at a safe distance. “So how do you
know where he wants to go?” Oakley asked as they flew close to
Torchblade’s neck, where they found Beat holding in tightly.
Beat gulped, looking a little green.
"It's *hurgh* The direction... I know *urrrrgh* that Way.", he
huffed.
Torchblade ignored the other Dragon.
From his gaze, he doubted someone could Stop him.
Some miles away, Skittish was checking on One of the special
inhabitants of Darkyard-Sanctuary: The Golden Armorwing. She was
relieved to see that the Alpha and his flock were doing just fine.
“Ah, don’t push yourself Beat. And anyways I’ll ask questions when
we get there.” Oakley said as they flew Torch’s Head. “Hey, Sorry,
Torch. I did it know any better. Will you forgive me?” Oakley asked
the bigger dragon. Whisp’s attention was meerily on the ocean.
