Not much was going on with the contestants. There were a few quick conversations and a contestant singing a song about Frosty the Snowman, but that's about it. With nothing to do, I walked back to the main hall, the hall where magic happens. Shadow Cloud and I stood at the front, less anxious than last time of course. "''You see that Stormy? Looks like we weren't the only anxious ones." '' I calmly told Shadow Cloud. Shadow Cloud looked at me and made a face suggesting she was never anxious in the first place. "''Oh come on we all know y..." ''I jokingly said before being interrupted by a huge cheer. We both looked to see what was happening, only to see a Viking take the long walk of courage, the walk to get to the front and bond with a Dragon. However, something seemed familiar wth the Viking. I think I know him, or do I? Suddenly, it snapped in my head. ''"Stormy, that's Barny!" ''I exclaimed. Little did I know he was a contestant too.

(Talking about Barny now, talking in past tense) Barny Stugard is one of my best friends. I've known him since I was 7, he's the same age as me. I met him in Viking training academy, we were the best students. Barney does not have a Dragon yet, though he does like Shadow Cloud a lot. He treats Shadow Cloud as if she's his own Dragon. At the end, not everything he does to her pleases her, which has made Shaow Cloud dislike Barny.

(Present now) Shadow Cloud looked at me with a face of disgust. "Oh come on, he's not that bad" I tried to explain to her. She's acting like she knows something I don't. Strange, what could that be? I wanted to go greet him but Stormy didn't let me. However, I ended up making my reluctant angel come with me so I can greet him. I hastily made my way to him and gave him a huge welcome. The shock in his face is something indescribable. ''"Hey, you brought your Dragon along right?" ''he curiously asked. ''"Yeah, I can't go anywhere without my angel." '' I replied with.

Shadow Cloud was walking as if she was thinking about every step she took. Once she caught up to us, she was treated by a big hug from Barny. She still had the thought that he was an unpleasant person. Barny proceeded to give a long talk about why Stormy is his dream Dragon. ''"Wow, Barny likes my Dragon more than I should be concerned about..." ''was the thought that went through my mind. I just smiled at him, acting like I was listening to every word he was saying. In truth, I wasn't. I was just listening to that contestant singing the Frost the Snowman song.

Barny was interrupted by Freygair, who told him he needed a Dragon to bond with. This was a perfect moment, since he's never bonded with a Dragon before in his life! "''You see that Barny, many cool and unique Dragons to bond with. We have a Dramillion, very unique indeed. Oh what's that, is that a Death Song? I would choose that If I were you." ''I playfully said to Barny. ''"No, I want a Dragon just like yours. I want an exact copy!" ''Barny childishly shouted out. Strange, it's not like him to act like this. ''"Shadow Cloud was the only Stormcutter up for show, and even she was already taken before the trials began. I'm sorry Barny, but your gonna have to choose another Dragon." ''I hesitantly replied to him. Stormy was looking more and more nervous now. I needed an escape plan, something that would distract him. With some quick thinking, I thought of one. I ran towards the singing contestant and explained to her that I needed her to help someone choose a Dragon. I ran back to Barny and said," Hey Barny, have you met my new friend that I definitely know? No you don't, ok you two talk and she will help you choose a Dragon. Sounds good? great!" before sprinting back towards the contestants that have already bonded with Dragons.

I needed to take a couple of breaths so I stopped at a doorway. ''"I don't know what snapped into him Stromy. Now I know why you didn't want to greet him. You knew all of this was going to happen, didn't you?" ''I tiredly asked Shadow Cloud, which she replied with a look of relief. I was happy I understood my Dragon's problem, and she was too. I heard slow, heavy footsteps coming towards us two. Ready for anything, I had hands on my sword. Just when I was going to pull out my sword, from by back, an innocent looking Viking walked in. He was surprised to see Shadown Cloud and I. ''"You're that contestant with the Stormcutter, aren't you?" ''he asked. ''"Well what does it look like?" ''I jokingly replied with. We laughed it off and all was good. "But seriously though, who are you" he curiously asked. I looked at Shadow Cloud then looked back at him. WE, are Larson's. We are ready for anyone, ready for anything." I comfortably replied with. The man looked at us with belief, belief that we are definitely ready, ready to defeat what obstacles we will face.

Basically, I'm hinting towards the fact that Barny will, at one point in the story, try to steal my Dragon. And that he's not what he seems like. Yes the singing contestant is DSL's character. I thought it'd be cool if I was to use someone's character in my chapter. You're allowed to do that, right? Also, are my chapters too long? I think they are but what do you think? Huh, Shadow Cloud Larson is techincally my Dragon's full name. What a name that is.
