Daria on Berk
Esteem of a Dragon Trainer
The blue cart moved along the village trail. “Girls, I just
want you to know your mother and I realise it’s not easy moving to a whole new island,
especially for you, Daria, right?”
Daria looked around at the Viking houses, along with the
strange large perches nearby each house. “Did we move?”
Jake, her father, laughed. “I’m just saying you don’t make
friends as easily as… uh. Some people.”
The girl sitting in front with her father, started
humming louder.
“Quinn for instance,” Daria said.
“That’s not what I meant,” Jake said. He gave a look of
annoyance at Quinn, who stopped her humming. “I mean the first day at a new
academy is bound to be difficult.”
Daria then hummed louder then Quinn had. “Speak up, Dad!
Can’t hear you!”
“Uh!” Jake said.
Daria stopped humming as she noticed the cart had reached
it’s destination on a cliff overseeing the freezing ocean.
“Where was I,” Jake asked as he pulled on the reigns of
the… animal pulling the cart. “Don’t get upset if it takes the other kids a little
while to warm up to you.”
Quinn got off the cart and was immediately met by two
other girls and hit it off instantly.
“I’ll try to help her through this difficult period of
adjustment.”
“That’s my girl! Wait a minute.”
“See you, Dad,” Daria said as she got off the cart and
headed into the Academy.
Daria and Quinn entered an area that looked like an arena,
where the one in charge of the Academy would meet them. Daria could make out
two others there, but they were not close enough for her to see their faces
clearly. She always had difficulty seeing in the distance, but it seemed to be
getting worse. “Come on, Daria,” Quinn said impatiently.
“Daria and Quinn?” the male of the two asked.
“Yes, I’m Daria.” She stepped forward and could see his
green eyes clearly.
“I’m Quinn.”
