Isla

“Aud! Rita!”

I was just passing my new friend's house, only to see it on fire. I had to help. I got out my weapon, Cross Bar, extended it two times and vigorously started whacking Aud and Rita’s door till it burst open.

“Ma’am!” A boy about my age came forward from a group of people, firefighters, so I guessed this boy was one of them. “Ma’am!” he panted as he caught up to me. “Please, you have to back away from the fire!”

Though I paid no attention to him. My only attention was on finding Aud and Rita. I peered inside. To my horror, no one was there. Just smoke. Smoke that can kill you. “Rita!” I called. “Aud!” I didn’t hear anyone. “Guys!”

“Excuse me—” the stranger started but was interrupted by me.

“NO! What would you do if someone you knew was trapped in there? I need to help them!”

But when I looked back inside, I ''actually saw two people! ''I faintly saw the two people crawl out outside. Phew.

I turned around, having to jump over a tall stack of tiles. Gee, I didn’t even notice that fell there. Afterwards, I ran to a large crowd of Viking’s around Aud and Rita who were thankfully alive and on the way to the healing building. A familiar face caught my eye. Kate. She was going to where Aud and Rita was.

No matter how much I wanted to go, I wanted to deal with some business.

Catch the culprit.

But as soon as I turned and ran, I ran right into the boy, the firefighter. ''Geez, you sure get in the way don’t you? ''I angrily thought as I push myself up from the ground. I was about to run again but stopped. I can’t just run into someone and go away straight after.

“Sorry,” I mumbled, giving him a hand to get up. As our hands touched, I felt a weird tingle go down my spine, as if I trusted the boy already.

Looking at him more closely and clearly from the smoke, he had forest green eyes, with little bits of freckled on his nose and cheeks, a bit like me. He had light brown hair, a bit long, and let down like Aidan’s hair, but it wasn’t as long as Aidan’s.

“No, no, it’s fine,” he quickly said. “No need to be sorry.”

“All good then. I got some business to take care of.” However, before I could go, I couldn’t help but ask, “Did you see the culprit of this fire?” I mean, I didn’t see where the culprit went. I HAD to know.

“Yeah, I did actually. I was going to find him.” So the culprit was a him, as I thought.

“Can you show me the way?”

“Sure, but I’m coming, you know. I was going anyway.” I sighed but reluctantly agreed. Two Viking’s are better than one in front of a madman, right? So I answered with, “Fine. Come on, Inferno!” Inferno came from Nebula and Spark and then we were off, with the boy on the back of Inferno with me. He explained his dragon wasn’t here right now.

After 10 minutes of flying to our location, we saw a drunk man, who the boy said was the culprit. He was passed out by drunkenness, being carried by a group. “Hey!” I yelled. “Stop!”

I heard the leader say to his group, “Kill them. We need to make sure no one sees us getting him away from guards. I’ll take our friend away.”

We landed on the ground and we immediately hopped off, and I flinched. Kill us? Wha—ah, these are friends of the culprit, and they are getting him away from guards. What ''good friends. ''As I looked closer, I realized the man was Aud and Rita’s dad.

“Why would you do that?” I threatened, clenching my fists. “Your friend, if that’s what you call him, nearly killed his daughters! Why keep him away from guards?” I grab Cross Bar, ready for anything. The firefighter, the boy, was also getting out a—what? A FLAMING THOR FLIPPIN’ SWORD?!

“Get it over and done with!” the leader barked at his men. “Kill them!”

I immediately transformed my weapon into a bow, aimed, and shot…straight at the man closest to us. The arrow landed in front of his feet, making him stop abruptly and clumsily trip over, afraid the arrow would hit him. A burly man charged at me, but I changed the bow back into a bar, hitting the man in the head, knocking him out.

The helpful firefighter was battling a waaay bigger man then him, and was losing. I decided to help him out. I whacked my weapon into his back, making him yelp in pain and turn to me. The firefighter was going to hit him right there, but had to battle someone else behind him.

I slowly gazed behind me and saw Inferno battling a Crimson Gorgecutter. He was trying his best to protect me. My view of Inferno was blocked as another ugly man came behind me. Great. Now I was trapped. I looked back to the man in front of me and then to the one behind me. They were both charging at me.

I made a quick plan and ducked, jumping under my one of my opponent’s legs, and appeared on the other side. Perfect, because now both of the men had hit each other’s heads and was now on the ground, in pain.

I looked back to the leader with Aud and Rita’s dad. No. They were both so far away…I had to catch up to him. But I couldn’t. A Monstrous Nightmare came in my way. I was so unsure on what to do. This dragon wouldn’t let me tame him, so I got out Inferno’s favourite food. An eel.

The Nightmare flared back and hurriedly flew away, along with the Crimson Gorgecutter, leaving our opponents. Now, now Inferno could knock out the men. So he did.

About a minute later, the men were knocked out on the ground, and guards were running to us, taking the knocked out men to Viking Jail.

The drunk father of Aud and Rita and the leader of the group was nowhere to be seen, however. I walked over to the boy who was pretty helpful just then.

“Well, thanks for helping back there,” I said to him.

“No problem. May I ask, what’s your name?”

“You go first.”

He chuckled. “My name is Michael. I know. Not very Viking like. Yours?”

“Wow, never heard that one before. I'm Isla.

“Oh, cool name! Well, hi.”

“Hi.” We both smiled.

“You were at the trials, right?” Michael asked.

“Yeah! I was!”

“Oh cool, I’m not in it…”

“That sucks. Sorry, I have to go now. See you again?”

“See you again.” We both waved goodbye and then I was off to see Swordtail, Aud and Rita.
