I do not own How to Train Your Dragon

It was a beautiful morning on the island of Berk. Waves rushed at the sandy shores, crashing against the rocks and inching it's way up the shore to hiccup's feet. Gulls chirped in the distance. Cool sea mist tickled the boy's skin. The morning was chilly as usual, and the boy and his dragon lounged on the beach.

Hiccup took a deep breath in, the smell of salt filing his nose. "Toothless, plasma blast," He said. The dragon shot a blast into the sky. There was no purpose for it, hiccup just wanted to see the violet-white light again.

"Hiccup, village, now!" A voice boomed from behind him. Hiccup snapped around and saw Thornado and his father leap into the air, heading towards the village. It must be important if his father had to get him. Hiccup swung himself onto Toothless's back, his metal leg clicking into place. The two thrust into the air and glided over the docks.

"I wonder what's happening bud," Hiccup said, leaning down towards the center of the village.

"Drop the knife girl, they're not going to hurt you," Gobber said.

Hiccup got off toothless and ran to Gobber's side. A girl about his age stood weakly in front of him. A ZippleBack curiously studied her with both heads. The girl had olive skin and long golden hair cascading loosely down her back, slightly lighter than Astrid's. She was nimble, but looked unbalanced, as if she were dehydrated. The girl spun to face Gobber, holding a small metal dagger. She fixed her violet eyes on hiccup. She seemed beautiful to hiccup, but she also seemed afraid and ill. The girl's knees buckled and she crashed to the ground. Gobber grabbed the lip of the ZippleBack and dragged it out of sight.

"Take care of…that." Gobber yelled, pointing at the girl. Hiccup sat at her side, cradling her head in his palms. Her eyes opened a bit, and she started to drift back to consciousness.

"Are you okay?" Hiccup asked, searching her violet eyes.

The girl parted her lips to speak, "D-dragon" She whispered before her head became limp in his arms again. Hiccup placed her on Toothless's back and took her to his home.

The day passed, and hiccup waited for the stranger to regain consciousness. Her lips seemed to have more color—which seemed to be a good sign. He turned away from the girl and started to sketch toothless. He lowered the book to glimpse at toothless, and noticed that the girl was staring at him.

"You're awake! Are you okay?"

The girl sat up. "W-Where am I?" She asked weakly.

"You're in the Haddock house…in Berk." Hiccup said, studying the girl as if she were a new species of dragon. She looked confused. "I'm Hiccup by the way, that's toothless." He said, gesturing at the dragon across the room. The girl gasped and almost fell out of her seat.

"What is that?" She asked, fright in her voice.

"That's my NightFury, he's friendly."

"That's a Dragon!" She said, astonished by the creature. "Dragons are legends… they aren't real!"

"Well try telling him he's not real." Hiccup said. Toothless gave them a toothless grin.

The girl closed her eyes and looked back at hiccup. "Can I touch him?" She asked.

"Of course," Hiccup said. Toothless licked his rider's palm and then stared at the stranger, showing her his forehead. The girl reached her palm out slowly, then placed it on the dragon's head. The surface was like nothing she had expected.

"I'm Svea." She said.

"Hi Svea," Hiccup said warmly, as if he had just began a conversation with her for the first time. "Wait 'till you see this." He grabbed her hand and raced outside. Hiccup pointed to the sky. About 30 dragons flew above them; Small ones, big ones, sharp ones, fat ones, all in impressive spectrums of red, oranges, blues, greens, purples, and browns. They cooed and growled, fought and played. Some had Vikings perched on their backs.

"It's beautiful." She muttered.

"We live together, and prosper together instead of fighting." Hiccup said proudly.

"You ride them too?" Svea asked, breathlessly.

"Yes we do," Hiccup said. He glanced at Toothless. "If you want, we could go for a ride right now."

"Really?" Svea asked, staring at Hiccup with her amethyst eyes.

Hiccup swung himself onto Toothless's back and extended a hand to her, "Really."

Svea felt heat rise in her cheeks as she took his help into the saddle. She held onto his waist and closed her eyes as the dragon leapt into the air. Wind whistled in her eared and tossed her long blonde hair. The island of Berk shrunk from underneath them, and she opened her eyes to see the bright blue morning sky. A yell of excitement slipped her mouth and rang in the air. Hiccup laughed, and Svea giggled. Toothless dipped down and cascaded along the line of the ocean, dipping his wings in and gliding on the surface of the water. The dragon turned his body up and headed gently back to Berk.

"Is there anyway I could do this?" Svea asked.

"We have a dragon academy here at Berk, if you're staying here you can join it." Hiccup said, holding back the excitement in his voice.

"I'd love to!" Svea said, she cleared her throat and took a less eager approach to her response as a habit. "When can I start?"

"Well… its only morning right now, so today." Hiccup said, dipping down towards the training arena.

Svea smiled and let the wind bite at her cheeks as they dove into Berk. This was going to be a new adventure.
