Aidan

My eyes were now wide open, and I got up. "''Is there anything wrong?" ''my aunty asked. I walked towards my window, and looked out. Nobody was there, as I was looking to see if I could spot that Dragon flying around. ''"N-nothing." ''I replied with. My aunty looked at me with a face that told me that she wasn't buying it. ''"Aidan, if there's something to tell me, just say it." ''she said to me while looking concerned. ''"Ok! When Shadow Cloud and I came out of Kate's house, we were being followed by someone and their Dragon's name was Chione. It was a female's voice, but it didn't sound like a mother's voice, it sounded like someone that was around my age." ''I replied to her with. My aunty looked like she knew something I didn't. ''"Now, is there something you want to tell me?" ''I asked, also looking concerned. She sighed. ''"Could it be?" ''she asked, looking extremely worried. ''"What? What is it?" ''I asked her. She looked at me as if she was about to tell me something I should've known. She sat down on my chair, and I sat down on my bed. She looked over at me, debating with herself whether she should tell me or not. ''"Look, Aidan. When you were a baby, and your parents went missing, do you know who went with them?" ''she asked me. "''No, not really. I thought they went alone, that's what you told me." ''I replied with. She sighed again. ''"They didn't go alone. They went with.... with... your sister." ''she said to me, while looking upset. My sister?!? I have a sister?!? How did I not know I had a sister?!? "''Woah woah woah, hold on a second. I... have a sister?!?" ''I asked her, rather rudely. ''"Yes. the day your parents went missing, they took your, then 5 year old, sister. She's 2 years older than you.Your parents didn't want me taking care of both of you, so they left you, only, with me. They walked into the trap with her." ''my aunty explained to me. ''"The reason you didn't remember her was because you were too young to. I mean, the only way you remembered your parents was through me. I didn't want you to know you lost 3 family members, so I never told you about your sister, it would have made you more depressed." ''she went on to say. I was now looking as eager as ever. ''"So that female I heard... could be my sister?" ''I curiously asked her. ''"It's quite possible. Your mother may not have survived and possibly left Chione with your sister. Your sister probably migrated here after your mother's death." ''my aunty went on to theorize.

I looked at the time, while barely containing myself, and saw it was pretty late. My aunty looked over at the time too, and saw it was pretty late, too. She got up from the chair and told me she needed sleep. She looked like she felt as if she was guilty, after telling me all that. She was heading towards the door, to exit my room, until I asked her the question I really needed the answer to. ''"Aunt, what was my sister's name?" ''I asked, while she was walking out. She stopped on her tracks and looked back at me. ''"Your sister's name? Your sister's name was Alice. Alice Larson." ''she replied with before walking off. I was still there, shellshocked from what I just found out. I fell back onto my bed, and thought about what just happened, while staring at the ceiling. Eventually, I stopped thinking about it. I changed into my night clothes, did the usual before going to sleep, and then went to sleep. It was hard to get sleep, but I managed to get it at the end.

The next day I woke up to the sound of something breaking. I sat up and looked around me. Nothing. Nothing was broken. I looked at the time to see I woke up 2 hours before the trial. So I got up and did the usual morning routine. Breakfast was ready, and I ate it as quick as I could. For the next 1 hour and 30 minutes, I was reading some history books. The history books were about the Great Hiccup Haddock The Third, and the battles he had got into. He is a truly inspiring person. It looked like I finished reading all the books I had, so I need to get more later. Checking the time, I decided to head off to the the next trial. I called for Shadow Cloud, and she came. By 15 minutes, we were there. To no surprise, Aud and Rita weren't there. Though the rest were. Freygair described the challenge, free for all. Or as I like to call it, freestyling. He gave us 2 hours to prepare for the trial. Though Kate only took around 20 minutes and she was ready. ''"Woah, is that Hiccup's flightsuit? I've read all about that!" ''I said to myself. Huh, she has a flightsuit. I need to top that, somehow. I took Shadow Cloud to where it's not loud, and explained to her exactly what to do. I went over what to do many times, it took 1 hour and 45 minutes for her to get everything right. Now we were ready to presentate.

I stepped up with Shadow Cloud, ready to presentate. ''"Ok, show us what you've got." ''Freygair shouted out to me. I hopped onto Shadow Cloud's back. ''"You see Freygair, a good Guardian needs to be one step ahead of their opponents, at all times." ''I shouted out. ''"Ok, and how exactly do you prove you can be?" ''Freygair asked me. Shadow Cloud looked up and shot so high up. And when I mean so high up, I mean SO high up! Shadow Cloud then flew up into the sky, with me on her back, and performed some tricks. She dropped me a couple of times, did some spins with me, and then finally caught me. I learnt that one from the Great Hiccup Haddock The Third. Then, when we got to the ground, Shadow Cloud and I went towards Garmal. Shadow Cloud looked down at Garmal while I laughed at him. When Shadow Cloud turned her back on Garmal, Garmal's Monstrous Nightmare attempted to shoot at her and I. Shadow Cloud flapped all 4 of her wings, which made the shot change direction and ended up just missing Garmal. I looked back, and laughed again. Now it was Jack's turn, the boy who I recently found out about. Shadow Cloud and I went towards Jack, and looked him and his Skrill into the eyes. I could see the anger in his eyes, so I decided to leave him alone. Shadow Cloud flew into the sky and did so many spins and flips, all with me on her back. I wanted to show Freygair the bond we had. When we, once again, landed to the ground, I got Inferno out. I waved Inferno around to get ready for what I was going to do. "That's Inferno!" one of the initiates shouted out. I looked over at the direction it came from. The initiate, who I realised to be Isla, looked at her Dragon and said,"'' Oh- sorry. Not you, I meant Inferno as in the flaming sword." ''before telling me to continue to do what I was doing. Anyway, Shadow Cloud flew into the sky, as I told her to do. I threw Inferno into the sky, as high up as I could. Shadow Cloud flew towards Inferno and caught it, biting its handle. She flew back down to me and gave back Inferno. "''See, not only is Shadow Cloud a great battle partner and companion, but she's also a great reciever." ''I shouted out loud. ''"Ok Aidan, this presentation seemed to have been all about your Dragon. Prove you are always a step ahead of people." ''Freygair said. Freygair then put down a target, it was facing up. ''"If this was the opponent, how would you attack him?" ''Freygair asked me. That's when the shot Shadow Cloud fired earlier, finally came down and hit the target. Freygair looked shocked. ''"What? How did you know I was going to put the target down from the start of the presenstation?" ''he asked, looking amazed. ''"And how did your Dragon know Garmal's Monstrous Nightmare was going to fire at her?" ''he once again asked looking amazed. ''"Shadow Cloud has senses that go off when something bad is going to happen. So Shadow Cloud sensed that Garmal's Monstrous Nightmare was going to fire at her. And for the target, Shadow Cloud sensed that I was going to fail this trial and she also sensed how I was going to pass the trial. She knew about you putting down the target and so decided to shoot so high up into the sky. You see Freygair, that's how we are one step ahead of our opponent." ''I said to Freygair in a calm voice. Freygair clearly looked impressed, and I passed the trial. I decided not to head off home, I wanted to see what the other initiates come up with. So I stayed, ready to be amazed.
