Training with the twins was every bit as horrifying as she imagined. Ruff and Tuff had worked everyone's dragons into a frenzy and simply said "deal with it." Dotta had partnered up with some random teen. The two had quickly learned to dodge the dragons. And when one was in trouble, the other would call out of pull their partner to safety. Preserving their lives was easy enough. But stopping their dragons was a different matter. It didn't help that the twins' dragon, Barf and Belch, was perfectly calm and even helping to instigate the chaos.
The longer time went on, the more in tune Dotta became with her partner. Both had learned how to read the other's movements. When her Lil' Blackie came charging at them, the two expertly dodged rolled out of the way. Next the partner lept onto Lil' Blackie's back to distract the dragon. Dotta then ran up and began to scratch furiously at Lil' Blackie's neck and chin. Lil' Blackie purred happily and soon calmed down.
Doota and her partner turned to each other. They couldn't believe it. As they looked around they could see their fellow vikings were having similar effects. The twins' psychotic training was actually working. They were learning how to fight as a team. And Dotta didn't even know the name of her partner!
((I'm off to bed now. Have fun everyone! P.s. I can't wait to read what y'all come up with next!))

Vim exited the building and looked gratefully at her. "Thanks, Boe." He grinned at the new nickname.

Metal head didn't look up as he carved out the 46th bow "Astrid stopped by earlier ..... Congratulations" Metal smiled cheerfully at her "just try not to get caught next time anyway I've set up the rang so using that crossbow let's see what your accuracy is like shall we?"

"Nothing ha-" She just rolled her eyes at his comment. Yeah, she'd have to talk to Astrid later. Screw with her back. That'd be a joy. But she grabbed the crossbow and loaded an arrow into it and went to the archery range. Arms a bit shaking, she took aim, best she could at least and fired. The arrow hit the outside most ring and she sighed.

Vim walked over to the armory. He slipped on the same Wolf shield and spear and walked out to the courtyard to practice. He saw a group of guys doing push ups lead my Snotlout. When he saw Vim he smiled his stupid smile. "Oh, great."
"Hey there, player!" Jeered Snotlout. "Where were you this morning? Cuddling with your girlfriend?" He laughed.
Vim should have kep his mouth shut but he said, "Is that supposed to upset me? 'Cause its not working."
"What did you say, worm?" He asked, "Drop and give me 50!"
"I'll give you fifty reasons to get out of my way if you don't move." Vim said, "I'm training on my own today." He shouldered past and kept walking to go spear some hay bales.

"hmmm not bad most miss the target completely but your shaking like a beserker" Metal grabbed her by her upper arm "Relax this muscle and try again" Metal observed her yesterday she seemed so determined but right now something was off about her. "you know technically I am a teacher now if somthing is troubling you now would be the time to release it" Metal thought for a moment and grabbed a few paint brushed and on the shield painted a picture of astrid "Try again now"

He had the perfect idea. She relaxed that muscle and took aim, firing it and hitting a bit closer to center this time. A smirk spread across her face. "Yeah I think that did it," she chuckled, referring to the painting. "Hey. Do you think it'd be bad if I extremely injured Astrid later? Because honestly I think it to be the perfect idea."

Vim sank his spear into the hay bale for the 150th time, panting and drenched in sweat. He jerked it back out then spun in around, shoving the whole thing through the side of the bale. It finally collapsed into a big pile which Vim fell into. He closed his eyes, enjoying the breeze.

"I think it would be extremely bad" Metal smirked he painted more targets the same way and lined them up "but these won't complain if you shoot them and there will be no consequences so fire away"

Vim decided he needed to train more with Thorntail. He hopped on the dragon's back. "Come on boy," said Vim "lets work on your aim."

"Well, it's not the blood curdling screeches of hers, but hey, as long as I get to shoot her in the face somehow." With a smirk, she kept loading in arrows, firing it into the fake Astrid, taking out all her anger on it. Occasionally, she'd have to get fixed by Metal, but she just kept firing and firing and firing. Firing until she couldn't think of any more reasons to hate the girl anymore, though boiling inside was still a small grudge against her.

Boethiah was practicing her aiming when Shadow wing landed next to Metal and screeched impatiently, "don't worry I haven't forgotten you" Metal moved over to where the shields were stacked and tossed 3 in the air Shadow wiped her tail round and shot 4 spikes and knock 2 of the 3 shields down. Metal and Shadow repeated this constantly until she could hit 10 shields, after observing Boethiah's handi work Metal turned to her and raised his thumb up "next we move to short bow"

(What did I miss?)
Allyssa was practicing aiming.... with knives. She threw one of her daggers towards the target, and it hit quite close to the middle, but not quite.

Vim had been practicing flying and fighting at the same time. He finally taught Thorntail to shoot fire and throw his spikes at the same time, causing the spikes to fly through the fire and light themselves. Now he was practicing evasive maneuvers.
"Barrel roll!" Thorntail lurched to the side and spun once around,. "Dive!" This dive was unlike the ones they normally did. It was not a descending dive, it was a dodging dive. Thorntail tucked in his wings and dropped head first. The wind whistled in their ears and Thorntail suddenly pulled out of the descent.
"Nice training boy," praised Vim, "come on. I'll go get you a fish." Thorntail land near the pond and drank as Vim hooked a worm.
