Chapter 1

A Legend of Berk

Deep within an untold land lay a secret dangerous legend that told of a boy. A boy that would conquer the scaly beast guarding the gate to the dangerous dark power. The strongest being ever. Continued in chapter 46

I shut the book and thought to myself, a 'boy' could that be me?

I then felt an object perch on my shoulder it was my dragon Toothless. Toothless was a small green dragon with large eyes and small wings, he had small claws and talons and even though he is called Toothless he does have teeth ,small ones anyway. Toothless can also have a grumpy personality and is on some occasions a bit short he's in a good mood all he does is eat fish and ask questions and that's better than being moaned at all day long.

"Whats that?" he asked in anticipation as he put his head deep into the pages.

"An old book I found" I replied to Toothless who already has half his scaly head in the pages. Toothless then came back out of the book and then asked even more curious than last time "where?".

I replied in a soft voice "over there" as I pointed straight at an rotten old wooden bookcase almost hidden from sight hiding in the corner of my room. On the rotten wood were 3 more books.The Book Of Dragons, Book Of Berk and finally my diary.

If you haven't realized already Berk is my homeland. Its a small island in The Shivering Shores all the way out at sea, miles away from any proper land. Not to far from Berk is another set of islands. One is Dragon Island is where dragons used to live until we made piece with them not to long ago. The other island is Outland Island land to Alvin The Treacherous a mean and brutal viking, along with his followers.

There are ups and downs with having dragons some can lead to destruction whilst other aspects of dragons can lead to many advantages. Some people however despise dragons and would do anything to get rid of them once and for all.

Berk may be a little boring but with my friends and Toothless nothing could be better. I have many friends like, Fishlegs, Camacazi, Astrid, The Terrible Twins and finally Snotlout who has tried to kill me more times than I can possibly count but, however bad he is I believe there is goodness in his heart.

Toothless was now perched on my shoulder and was now asleep( he likes sleeping) but unfortunately for me he snores REALLY loudly. Fortunately when hes asleep he's not being rude in Dragonese ( dragon language ).

"Hiccup" yelled a loud voice from outside, it was my dad.
