So, I've been having this story floating around in my head for the last 2 weeks, and I really hope you guys enjoy it! Don't know how often I'll update, but I'll update whenever possible.

Prologue

Ok, where do I begin? I guess I should start with my name. My name is Hailey Haddock. I am 15 years old and I live in New York City with my mom, Elizabeth Haddock and my Night Light dragon Toothless, the Alpha of all the dragons in the area. You're probably thinking, 'how are there dragons? They are myths'. Well my friend, let me give you some backstory. 700 years ago, my family's greatest ancestor, Hiccup Haddock the 3rd, was the chief of one of the last Viking tribes in the world, the Berkians. How did they last for so long you may ask? Well, they had dragons. Hiccup ended the war between his tribe and dragons when he was my age after he befriended a Night Fury dragon, also named Toothless. And for six years, Berkians and Dragons lived in relative peace. Until, a hunter named Grimmel came along and basically destroyed their way of life. Using a female Light Fury dragon, he caused a rift between Hiccup and his dragon, due to Toothless falling in love with her. Both Toothless and the Light Fury were captured but were rescued by Hiccup and his other dragon riders. Knowing that dragons would not be safe in the human world, he sent every Berkian dragon, including his own, to live in The Hidden World, an underground mega cavern where the dragons originated, and no one from the outside world knew about it because the Berkians chose to live in isolation to protect the existence of The Hidden World. That isolation lasted until shortly after World War II. A United States Air Force squadron crossing the Atlantic flew over the island and noticed the primitive Viking village below. A few years later, an envoy was sent to the island where the chief at that time, Harvard Haddock, was told about the world and its advancements in technology and in return, he revealed to the envoy their purpose on the island and why they were isolated from the rest of the world: To protect The Hidden World. The two groups then formed an agreement and founded the Hidden World Oversight Division (HWOD), a coalition between Berkians and the American Military, as well as top scientists from around the world, to keep The Hidden World a secret from the general population. As time went on and technology advanced, they set up cameras with tranquilizer darts installed at every entrance to the mega cavern to make sure no dragon tried to escape and created boat/hovercraft hybrid vehicles to traverse The Hidden World if the situation ever called for it. And now, 70 years after the Berkians' first encounter with the outside world, is where my story begins…

Hope you guys enjoy this prologue and introduction to this world! To give you context, Hiccup let the dragons go in the year 1319, the Air Force found the island of New Berk in 1945, sent the envoy in 1949, and thus, the story takes place in 2019. Will update when I can!
