Day 47, Year 23
Have you ever been the odd one out? That's me. Every other dragon trainer I know has their own dragon, except me. My parents say that I will get my own dragon eventually, it just takes time. Well, I'm sick of waiting, so tonight I'm going to sneak out and see if I can find myself a dragon. Dad is calling me, so I'd better go, will update this with how tonight goes.

Day 48, Year 23
Okay so sneaking out last night was not one of my better ideas. But I did it so here's what happened. I snuck out of my house at around nightfall, parents were talking, and the back door was left unguarded, so I made a break for it. Once I was out of my house it was all about deciding where to look. Originally I had planned on heading to the forest, but I had forgotten how creepy the forest was at nightfall and decided to head down by the beach. Quickly I walked through the village, avoiding making eye contact with anyone, I couldn't be sure who would force me to go back home. After I made it past the village, I headed down the path leading towards the beach, then remembering that I had forgotten to bring any sort of weapon for in case the dragon attacked me. I debated going back, but decided that I wouldn't "hopefully" need a weapon. Arriving at the beach, I noticed a large dark figure a couple paces away. Forgetting my common sense I proceeded towards the figure, praying to Thor that it wasn't some axe wielding psycho viking who was going to try to kill me. I can thankfully report that my initial guess was incorrect. As I got closer to it, I realized the figure was too large to be a viking, there are some larger vikings, but none quite this large. It had to be a dragon, the only question was what kind? Carefully to stay a pace away, I watched the shape, trying to decipher what kind it was. Eventually I narrowed it down to some sort of tidal or possibly sharp class dragon, based on how close it was to the water. Remembering how dangerous both classes can be, I decided to head back home, since I didn't have any weapons. However that idea was quickly foiled when I stepped on a branch brought up by the tide. The branch broke in half with a loud SNAP, catching the dragon's attention. It turned to look at me, it's beady yellow eyes staring straight through me. I stood completely still, not wanting to appear a threat. The dragon came closer to me, the moonlight illuminating it's body. It was a dark blue color, but more importantly I now knew what kind of dragon it was, Raincutter. Thinking back to what I had read about Raincutters in the book of dragons, I tried to come up with the best way to befriend this dragon so it wouldn't attack me. A low growl rumbled out from the mouth of the dragon as it continued to stare right at me. Now that it was a few paces forward I glanced around it to see what it had been doing. A bag of bait sat behind the dragon, and I remembered reading how Raincutter's like grub and worms, they were the only dragons who did. I tried to think of a way I could use that, but since the bag was on the opposite side of the angry dragon that wouldn't be too much help. But before I could come up with another plan it started to rain. The dragon reacted oddly to the rain, it enjoyed it, the rain almost seeming to calm the dragon down. However the rain made me soaking wet, it wasn't exactly drizzling, it was more of a downpour, like the gods had decided to slash the rainclouds open. Already cold, it isn't exactly nice and warm on Berk, the rain made me chilled to the bone, so much so that I began to shiver, my lips turning a pale blue. The dragon, noticing this, came closer, it's broad wings resting on it's back. Before I could utter a final prayer to the gods, the dragon was close enough to bite my head off, it's face only a few inches away from my. But instead of attacking me, it extended out it's wings, putting them over over me to make some sort of giant umbrella. I was shocked by this action, but the shock quickly changed to gratitude when it fired against the sand next to me, causing a small flame to appear. Bending down, I put my hands over the flame, the heat warming me up. The dragon rested it's head on the other side of the flame, it's eyes looking out towards the ocean. Feeling like I should somehow say thank you, I reached over the flame, carefully so as not to light my arm on fire, and put my hand on side of the dragon's head, whispering a soft, "Thank you." The dragon recoiled slightly at the touch, obviously not used to it, but then it relaxed, almost enjoying the affection. That night I feel asleep on the beach, next to the flame and with the wings of the raincutter covering me. The next morning (today) I woke up and the raincutter was gone, and the small flame extinguished. Feeling like the previous night had been nothing more than a dream I stood up, and started walking back to the village. I got about halfway there when the raincutter returned, landing directly in front of me, blocking my path. "Morning." I said to the dragon, navigating around it's large body and continuing on the path. The raincutter didn't appear in front of me again, so I figured it was back at the beach or wherever else raincutters go. However as I walked through the village, everyone gave me weird looks, like my hair was on fire. "What?" I asked, confused by the looks. "Is that yours?" One of my friends asked, pointing behind me. I turned around to see what she was referring to and saw the raincutter, which had apparently been following me. Turning back to my friend I replied, "Uh...yes. Yes it is." "What's it's name?" My friend replied. I thought for a moment before responding, "Downpour, it's..his name is Downpour."
