[O]Dragons and Vikings

[XxUkarixX]

(Bump bum bum buuummm! Fail title goooo!!!)

----
It was one of the very few sunny days that Berk saw during the year. It wasn't particularly warm, but it was decent enough. A young Furious Featherbottom was enjoying the sun while she had it. V lay sprawled out on a patch of grass not far from the village. The bright blue dragon lay in a perfect spot for sunning herself, and for the time being was simply regaining energy so that she could resume her play.

V's wings were spread out as well, her feathers being warmed by the faint sun. It was rather relaxing, and the Featherbottom would soon be up and about, most likely causing mischief.

When it was nice outside like it was today, Gumbark liked to find a pleasant spot in a sunbeam to write. Crawling over a large boulder his boot caught against a plant root and he flopped over the rock, faceplanting into the dirt with an “Omph.” The Viking quickly straightened himself up and glanced around to make sure nobody was around to see that, adjusting his glasses and helmet as his face went red.

He walked a little farther before plopping down in a patch of warm, green grass. Flipping open his notebook and taking out his charcoal stick he paused to gather his thoughts for a moment before beginning to jot down runes quickly.

A soft sound seemed to bring the Featherbottom to the reality of the world. The blue dragon blinked her eyes open and looked around as soon as the sound registered in her ears.

With a sleepy yawn V rolled herself onto her stomach and fluttered her wings a bit. There didn't seem to be anything around to cause the noise. That brought curiosity to the dragon. She stood, giving her body a full shake before slowly moving towards where ever the sound had come from. At first V didn't see anything of interest, the forest was quiet. Well, that was until the sight of a viking sitting on a rock caught V's yellow gaze. The sight overall wasn't alarming, but the dragon hadn't really spend any time with vikings. Her head tilted to the side a bit, in a curious gesture.

[Mordar]

A few movements from a forested area indicated that something was moving around in there.

Sure enough, Mordar exited the trees. He looked around trying to see if he could spot anyone, but he had a hard time of it from where he was.

He shot into the air and started to fly to where he thought he heard noises, and looked to see if he could intercept anyone.

[Stormy]

Gumbark tended to mutter a bit to himself as he was writing, rereading his runes and checking that it sounded good before moving on. Something he did subconsciously so he wasn’t exactly the quietest, sneakiest Viking ever. Though his mumblings he heard a sound of movement, a soft rustle of grass and leaves.

The redhead glanced over towards the sound and jerked backwards in surprise, falling off his makeshift rock seat. He had a thing about…dragons. It wasn’t like he hated them, or that he was scared of them…well, at least not very scared of them. But bad things tend to happen with dragons around. “Um…uh…shoo. Yes. Shoo.” Complete with a little shooing motion with his hands.

When the human boy fell from the rock he had been perched on, V snorted with amusement. This one had reacted differently to her then others usually did. Most vikings would simply give the dragon a funny look for her strange appearance. That was fine, as long as they didn't bother her.

V's head twitch when she saw the motion the boy made. She blinked a few times, giving another little huff from her nostrils. Not understanding the human's words, V made a slight crouch, as if she were going to spring on the boy. Instead of moving forward though, the blue dragon hoped to the side, her ear feathers sticking up. She repeated the movement, moving back to her original spot then stood up straight once again, watching the viking.

[Mordar]

With a loud screech, Mordar began swooping down upon 2 shapes that he had made out while flying.

He was not sure who was who, but he was sure that one of them was a dragon. He shot a blast of fire into the trees to alert them, and flew to the ground in front of them.

The Night Fury then looked at who he had just landed next to.

[Stormy]

"Uh...no, no no, I don't want to...play?" The way the dragon was jumping around seemed somewhat friendly but Gumbark was hesitant to come nears dragons after his incident with a Deadly Nadder and a gorge. He began to take a few steps back, unsure if it would be okay to turn and run or if that would make him look like prey. He really didn’t know that much about dragons despite having written down facts about them in books…it all just kinda blurred together as he wrote it mechanically.

A sudden blast of fire made Gumbark yelp and fall backwards. Another dragon. What, did he stink like fish or something? He seemed to be attracting them today. Just his luck. And it was a Night Fury. He recognized the species, how could he not? Nobody in the village could shut up about Hiccup and his Night Fury, Toothless. Gumbark would have had to be blind and deaf to not know a Night Fury when he saw one. The redhead groaned. So much for working in peace and quiet.

[XxUkarixX]

The blast of fire that erupted in the trees made V duck her head, her ear feathers laying flat against her head. Her body hunched together in a defensive position. Then when a black shape just a bit smaller than her landed beside her, V let out a surprised cry. It sounded like the mixture of a squawk and rumble.

It was a Night Fury. V took a few steps away from the other dragon, watching him with her ear feathers still low. Her lips drew back in a slight snarl. She wasn't angry with the Night Fury, but his entrance had scared her.

[Mordar]

He finished his glances and spotted V's expression. He gave an apologetic grunt.

It had been quiet lately and he thought he would "spice" things up a bit. He tried not to hurt anyone of course, and counted on his aim to not do so, unless he needed it to..

He started to walk off slowly, then turned back and approached them again.

Claudia wasn't supposed to be in the woods, but she didn't care. They helped her think. She was wandering aimlessly, often stopping to sit and think for a while. Pip, her Terrible Terror, was out hunting, so Claudia was on her own. She sat down on a rock and rested her head in her hands, staring at her booted feet. An explosion somewhere off to her left startled Claudia out of her thoughts, and she jumped to her feet, whistling loudly. "Pip! PIIIPP!" she yelled. The little dragon barreled out of the trees and into Claudia's arms. "There you are. Come on, sounds like Mordar's up to his old tricks." Pip grunted. She didn't much like the Night Fury, which was strange, for Pip was a generally sweet little Terror when not conffronted with anything potentially dangerous.

[Mordar]

Mordar started to run in circles, since he didn't like to sit still much. Except for sleeping of course. He felt bad though, whenever someone didn't like him. He tried to not get on anyone's nerves, by staying to himself a lot.

This was one of the reasons he preferred to remain wild. He look around at everyone as he ran around.

[epicfroggy]

Claudia and Pip almost ran into Mordar when they emerged from the trees. "Wow! Oh, it's just you. Hey, Mordar. What are you doing here?" she asked companionably, knowing the dragon couldn't answer her, but asking anyway. She noticed Gumbark and a Featherbottom dragon staring at each other in the middle of the patch of grass. "Gumbark! Hey! Who's your friend?"
