"He's here!" exclaimed Bucket, "Johann's here!"
The people of Berk had been waiting for the arrival of Trader Johann for a week. He had finally arrived. Trader Johann was known for travelling to many strange lands and gathering mysterious goods. He always had something new for every tribe and island.
Johann lowered a ramp, allowing the Berkians to explore the ship for something interesting or useful, "Ahh, Berk. My favourite of all the islands I travel to."
"Where have you been to this time, Johann?" asked Bucket excitedly.
"Oh, Bucket. The places I've seen, the people I've met. I'd need a day to tell you. But alas, we have limited time to conduct our business together." Johann announced to the crowd in a proud voice, "Whatever it is you're looking for, I can assure you that you'll find it all right here!"
By now, the teenagers had arrived to the ship. Snotlout began calling dibs on anything he thought would make him cooler. Fishlegs traded his dragon-tooth necklace for a book of botany. Astro examined an axe. Hiccup noticed a small bottle.
"Oh!" exclaimed Johann, "That is the purest of squid ink, Hiccup. Wrestled from the colossal squid of the Northern Waters."
Hiccup held up a spyglass, "I made this myself. Is this enough?"
Johann chuckled, "I know. Just like the other five just like it. Unfortunately, I've only got two eyes."
"Well," Hiccup suggested, "how about this winch? It'll help you pull up your gang plank."
Johann smiled, "A welcome tool for a working man's healing shoulder. Consider it done, Hiccup."
Hiccup saw Stoick doing some combat moves with a sword.
"Wow!" exclaimed Hiccup, trying to sound surprised, "Another one!"
"If you must know," informed Stoick, "it's not for me. I'm heading off to the yearly meeting with the chief of the Shivering Shores. The last man who arrived without a gift left without a head."
Stoick mounted onto his Thunderdrum, "I'll be back in less than three days now that I have Thornado."
"You picked a name?"
"Yep. Because he has the power of Thor, and the ferocity of a tornado. Besides, it's the only thing he'll answer too. He's very stubborn."
Hiccup smiled sarcastically, "Can't imagine where he got that from."
Stoick and Thornado began their journey to the meeting.
Johann sighed, "Men riding dragons. What a magnificent sight!"
"Did you bring what I want?" asked a voice.
Johann turned around and saw Mildew, "Getting straight to the point! I like that."
Johann gave Mildew a sack of seeds. "I assume you brought my cabbage?"
Mildew set a basket of cabbage in front of Johann, who picked up a cabbage leaf to examine it.
A Terrible Terror crawled onto the basket and began to eat the contents.
"Ahh! No!" exclaimed Johann, "That's not for you!" Johann grabbed the Terror by the tail and threw him across the ship. Toothless saw this and growled, "I'll teach you to hurt a dragon!" He pounced a Johann, knocking the jar of ink out of Hiccup's hand.
"Toothless!" Hiccup roared, "No! Sorry, Johann. he's just being protective."
Hiccup picked up a piece of the broken jar.
"I'm so sorry Hiccup." said Johann, "That was my last one. But rest assured, I'll find that colossal squid and wrestle you another jar."
"Oh, Toothless." said Hiccup, shaking her head.
"What?" asked Toothless, "He hurt the dragon."
"Yes, I know. But the dragon was not supposed to be eating that stuff."
Hiccup followed Toothless as they walked to the arena.
