But given that Adelaide would eventually be required to travel during her healer career due to many herbs not being available there on the Berk islands she thought it was good a time as any to learn how to fly on Cinnamon. Flight would be faster than by boat which could take days depending on where they had to go. Even Gothi had commented in her unusual way that there were certain islands only she knew that she would have to pass onto Adelaide. After consulting with Gothi on a personally made map, Adelaide had figured now was a good time as any to give things a go. "I'm sure it'll be fine girl, a quick dive and I'll grab on as you level out, simple and easy!" Adelaide sounded rather confident and certain it would work, coming to the edge of Gothi's deck area without fear. She had done quite a bit of cliffdiving in her youth, so jumping off a cliff was rather normal for her and other vikings. But Cinnamon let out a concerned and uncertain croon, obviously concerned such a thing wouldn't work. It was one thing for the lower cliffs but something this high, the Prickleboggle held some reservations at the plan. Yet, the young Viking seemed insistent on doing so. If her brother could do it, why couldn't she? With a wide grin, Adelaide jumped from the deck while Cinnamon took off and went into a steep dive to fly parallel to the daredevil female. For a short distance the two dove parallel to one another until Cinnamon steered herself to fly beneath her rider, attempting to time things just right. "Here we go, just a little more..." Adelaide held her arms out right and attempt to grab onto Cinnamon, but when her hands met scales, the female Prickleboggle was off just enough the landing was awkward and the catch was off center, causing Cinnamon to try and over correct herself, flaring her wings in attempt to slow her decent but Adelaide's own momentum caused her to struggle to get a grip. Before either could correct themselves, Adelaide found herself already unable to keep her grip, fingers clawing at nothing, "Cinnamon!" For a rare moment, her voice was full of shock and terror, the Prickleboggle roaring with horror, trying to catch the red haired Viking with her tail but unable to keep a hold, sending Adelaide into a free fall.

Hiccup and his dragon riders had thought themselves sooo cool, so much better than him and everyone else. He'd proven himself capable, sure he was a little rusty and needed some work, but they hadn't even wanted to try and help him, and he was more than a little bit put off of them and their so-called cool club. What did he need them for anyway? He could figure this out all on his own, he didn't need some stupid over important dragon riders to show him what to do.
When they'd discovered him trying to train Fanghook, Hiccup had ordered him to let the dragon go back into the wild. Gustav had done so, or as far as anyone else was concerned he had, but for months now he'd been training the Nightmare in secret, all by himself, and even though he didn't have a fancy saddle or training, he was more than ready to take to the skies. The pair had bonded surprisingly well, both small and kind of picked on by their peers, both young and inexperienced, surely that was all you needed right?
"Okay Fanghook, we're gonna take it nice and easy, right?" He patted the Nightmare's head before climbing up, the dragon gave a nervous warble, he really hadn't done much flying solo much less with a rider, and the last thing he wanted was to hurt the small human that he'd become rather fond of. The pair edged to the ledge of the cliff, and Fanghook looked down with a nervous sound before Gustav patted his neck, "don't worry, it's just water down there right? We'll be fiiiine!" He said, but his confidence didn't reach all his features.
When the pair jumped from the cliff, they immediately plummeted, Gustav clinging to Fang's neck tightly as the Nightmare struggled to right himself. His wings popped open almost last minute before he careened forwards, twisting and dipping haphazardly as their path took them right towards the other pair practicing their flying.
Gustav didn't even see the peril that Adelaide was in as he headed right for her, eyes closed tightly as he just held on for dear life, but their timing was beyond lucky as the freefalling girl happened to land hard on Fanghook, sending the three of them straight for the ground. The landing was rough as they rolled and tumbled for a bit before coming to a stop, but Fanghook had managed to slow them down so that the splat never came.
