Isla

The first few days of being a Guardian is awesome.

You get to know other fellow Guardians and friends. You get to have an awesome room. You can finally not worry about Garmal.

All of this makes me forget about training Michael.

Luckily I remembered just then. I left the Guardian’s Clubhouse on Inferno, and flew to The Hidden World Fire Department. I spotted a nervous looking boy with shaggy, light brown hair walk out of the building, rubbing his head. It was Michael. Wow, I found him pretty quick. Michael spotted me and his frown turned into a big smile. Holy Thor I was smiling too for no reason…

“Hey, Guardian,” he smirked, as I landed in front of him.

“Hey, Chief,” I grinned as he sighed, doubting if he would really have this title. “Thor,” I groaned. “You’re doubting yourself again. Appreciate this title, will you?” Michael was about to protest but stopped himself, and then nodded. I motioned him to hop on Inferno with me, since I guessed his dragon was nowhere.

“So,” Michael said. “Where are we training?”

“At the Guardian’s Place, there is an awesome training area,” I replied. “You’ll love it!” I nudged Michael, but he only rolled his eyes.

After more flying, we finally made it there. Rita, Aud and Katina was there. ''Where are Ar and Kate and Aidan? ''They all turned and looked at Michael, confused. “Uh, hey,” I said. “Katina, Rita and Aud, this is Michael,” I pointed to Michael. “Michael,” I started pointing to the Guardians. “This is Katina—well, you already know her, and Rita and Aud. Ar, Kate and Aidan are…somewhere…” Michael smiled at them and waved.

“Hey again,” Katina said.

“Wait,” Rita said. “Isn’t there supposed to be no one here other than us?”

“Oh,” I sighed. “Time to break rules then. But I have to train him.”

“Train him?” Aud raised an eyebrow.

“Oh yeah,” I laughed. “Guardians, Michael is a descendant of Hiccup Haddock and Astrid Hofferson, and him and his brother will have to fight for the role of Chief. So,” I looked at Michael and back at them. “I’m his trainer.”

''Ooooo, I need to see their reactions! ''Aud’s jaw dropped, Katina—well, already knew this, and Rita’s eyes widened. “A descendant?” Aud broke the silence. “What an honour!” Rita nodded in agreement.

“Yup, so gotta go train Mikey here until I think we should stop. So…see ya!” And with that, I pulled Michael to the training area, out of sight. That was a bit awkward…

“They were nice—” Michael said, but got interrupted by me.

“Punch me, Michael,” I smirked. Michael stopped and opened his mouth, surprised.

“No! I won’t just punch you! Thor no!” Michael yelped, flinching.

“Oh come on, you big baby boo. Be a man, and punch me!” I firmly ordered him. After more arguing, Michael finaaallyy threw a punch at me, quite slowly, actually. I, however, easily sidestepped it and ‘gently’ pushed him to the ground. “Up,” I ordered him again. Michael scowled and got up from the ground. “You need serious help, kid,” I disapprovingly said.

“I’m not a kid—” Michael protested, but I threw a punch at his shoulder, yet again, ‘gently’. Michael didn’t sidestep it though. “Ow…”

“Gee, I basically showed you how to sidestep that! Wow!” I laughed. “Focus on me. Let all your anger out at me.”

“I’ll…never get angry at you…Isla…” Michael mumbled. I stopped. Woah…he has guts to say that…

I sighed. “Picture me as Garmal. Yeah, go on. Laugh. But remember back to what he has done to you and how he took ALL of that faith out of you. That makes you angry, right? But you know what? You got that faith BACK and is ready to kick Garmal’s butt until he cries like a baby!” I smiled, and motioned him to come. “And Garmal’s right here,” I pointed to myself. “And he is all yours.” I winked at Michael. He smiled. “Show me what you got,” I encouraged him.

And we started.



After an hour and a bit more we stopped. Michael was not…bad. He just needed way more practice.

Sweating, Michael flopped to the ground, and I flopped down next to him. “Wow…” Michael panted. “That…was—”

“Good. Wasn’t it?” I nudged him, laughing.

“No,” Michael chuckled. “I was going to say painful.”

“Oh come on!” I rolled my eyes. “All I did to you was tackle you to the ground and—”

“—Punch me,” Michael finished for me. “Yeah, not painful at all.”

I laughed again. “Did it hurt bad though?” I asked.

“Not too much. It was actually better, though. You know, because it made me try harder.”

“Good, good. I train people the hard way because it was how Marshall taught me, and look where I am now!”

“Yeah, but the only problem is, is that I have a month to train. You, you had years to train to be awesome at stuff.”

“First of all, thank you. Second of all, you are doubting yourself again.”

“Oh right…” Michael slapped himself on the head, and then looked at me, and I looked at him.

After an awkward minute later of silence, I said, “Well, I should take you back. I got no idea if I have a shift or not.”

“Yeah, thanks.”

I called Inferno over to us and we hopped on him. We said bye to the others and were then off. Inferno flew Michael and I back to Michael’s house. “Yet again, thanks,” Michael smiled warmly at me. Oh gods…I’LL ADMIT IT…he was really handsome with that smile… “Uh…Isla?” Michael waved his hands in front of me. “You’re scaring me. You’re just…staring—”

“NO I wasn’t!” I immediately interrupted him and hopped onto Inferno. “Um…see ya tomorrow!” I patted Inferno under his chin, and he flew back up. “Why are you smiling?” I asked to Inferno. “I thought you were on my side…” Inferno rolled his eyes.

Finally, we made it to the Clubhouse. I entered, only to see Aidan there, showing a letter to the others. Ar and Kate was still nowhere to be seen. “What is it? I curiously asked.

Aidan turned to me. “Isla…”

“Kate is in the hospital, and Ar has disappeared.”
