*Second Person POV*

"(Y/N), a little help." Varor's voice floated to your ears. You put down the broom you were holding to sweep up shedded scales before turning around. What you saw, made you laugh at the sight. Varor has a little over a dozen Terrible Terrors on him as he lay helplessly on the ground. Remus let out a dragon laugh along with Skyler who were playing together just a moment ago. After your moment of laughter, you decided he has been laying there long enough.

"Alright little guys. Come on, get off of Varor or no treats for you." You softly ordered the dragons, making shooing motions with your hands as you did so. Hearing the threat to their treat supply, they quickly complied and either flew or scampered off of poor Varor. Who is now getting back up and dusting himself off.

"I never did get how you seem to always get dragons to do what you say. Trust me, I've begged you for your secret many times." You couldn't help but giggle at his comment.

"And you still will never know." You teased as you turned away and made your way over to a Monstrous Nightmare with a broken leg.

"How's it going over here?" Valka's walked over to you, looking over at Varor who is now busy feeding a Deadly Nadder.

"Good, we feed about two Groncles, three Deadly Nadders and I rebandaged a Zippleback's wing." You reported while you checked the Monstrous Nightmare's leg.

"Nice work you two." Valka nodded in approval at how much you've gotten done. "I probably wouldn't have been able to get all this done without your help. There are quite a lot of injured dragons to care for here, even though at least half have been released." She thought aloud, looking around at the multitude of stables here.

"Happy to help." Varor saluted with a smirk. Valka rolled her eyes and you shook your head at him.

"Just keep up the good work." Valka reminded with a chuckle before walking off to another section of the dragon hangar. You stood straight again and pulled a few stray strands of (H/C) from your face as you looked around for something else to do. When you did, you saw Skyler and Remus playing a game of tag on the upper floors of the hangar. Annoying a few of the healthy dragons staying there, the injured were put on the lower levels for easier access.

You were about to turn around to check on a blind Hobblegrunt, when out of the corner of your eye, you saw Remus's tail hit a bucket and fall from the second level. This wouldn't have been a problem if no dragon was under it. But alas, fate had other ideas. The bucket hit a unsuspecting Rumblehorn right on the head that was drinking some water.

The dragon paused mid-gulp, and the dragons around it suddenly scampered away from it. You slowly turned your body to the scene as Remus and Skyler froze in their tracks. The Rumblehorn let out a loud growl that reverberated throughout the hanger, silencing all noise. It turned its head to the guilty looking Sand Wraith and narrowed its eyes at him. You glanced at Varor who looked ready to jump to action before a tremendous roar tore itself from the Rumblehorn's throat as it lept at Remus. Remus immediately jumped out of the way before taking off from the level and into the spacious air the cave room provided. The Rumblehorn was a bit slower to move. During the time it took to land, stop, and turn around before taking off. Varor made it to your side as he carefully watched the Rumblehorn's movements of attack directed towards his dragon.

"Remus, dive!" Varor commanded his dragon. Remus followed the command without a second thought, narrowly avoiding the clubbed tail of the angry Rumblehorn. Varor yelling out finally snapped you from your daze. Thinking fast, you quickly scanned the area for Skyler. Finding her watching the fight helplessly from the second level, you waved at her to get her attention. She noticed this immediately and stood attention.

"Get Valka and Cloudjumper!" You shouted at her, she nodded and gracefully maneuvered back down to the ground level before bounding down the way Valka had gone before. Now all you and Varor had left to do was distract the Rumblehorn from hurting anyone before backup arrived.

"(Y/N)! Look out!" Varor yelled in warning, the feeling of being tackled followed immediately after. You looked up to see the Rumblehorn struggle to turn mid-air right above you to follow the more agile Sand Wraith.

You were hit by an idea, and without warning you leapt up from the ground and jumped onto the still near Rumblehorn. Grabbing a hold of the closest thing on its side, it's horn.

Surprised by the new weight now hanging on to one of their horns and side caused it to momentarily loose balance and swerve up and around the room. Varor shouted out your name as you were lifted from his range, and quite possibly the fact you literally threw yourself into danger. When the Rumblehorn tilted sideways, you managed to side into place on its back and grip both of its horns tightly. That's when it began to buck wildly, making it incredibly hard to keep your grip on the large dragon. You gritted your teeth from the effort needed to stay mounted. 'I just have to hang on till Valka gets here.' You thought determinly to yourself.

"Remus, be ready to catch her if she slips!" Varor shouted with a voice filled with concern towards his dragon. You couldn't really pinpoint Remus's location because of the constant bucking and wild maneuvering of the Rumblehorn blurring the scene around you. You could feel the sweat forming on your palms, making your hands slowly slip from it's horns. 'Please hurry Skyler!' You thought as your hands slowly but gradually slipped towards the tip.

        The Rumblehorn slammed into the rocky cave wall, small rocks chiped off and pelted your form. The jarring from the impact however was the final straw for your grip. As your hands slipped off of their holds, your (D/H-Dominant hand) got sliced by the tip of the horn. You screamed as you fell before you were quickly plucked from the air just before you could hit the ground. You were the barely aware of a large blur zoom by and slam into the Rumblehorn as you were carefully put back on the ground, being helped by Varor. Varor immeadly began to fuss over you and the wound over your hand as Skyler rentered the room and joined your side, checking you for other external wounds. You looked up to see Cloudjumper holding down the aggressive Rumblehorn and Valka dismount him and rushed to your side, joining the fussing over you club.

"Alright, alright guys. I'm fine." You pushed yourself away from the concerned group, ignoring the stinging from your plam's regection of the statement. Varor and Valka looked to each other before Varor stepped forward with a sigh.

"Just don't do that again. I'm your guardian, your protector, my job is to keep you from danger. Jumping into it doesn't help." Varor pushed his point across. His body language may have looked a bit threatening, but his eyes told how really concerned he was about your safety. Making you feel incredibly guilty about blindly jumping into danger. But you had to admit, except for the cut, it all went according to plan.

"Get your hand bandaged up. You two can take a break for today. I'll handle the Rumblehorn." Valka instructed before walking over to help Cloudjumper. Varor began to drag you away before you could even respond to her, clearly wanting you fixed up as quick as possible.

        'What a way to end the first day working together.' You thought with a huff.
