I walk slowly out of my cave stretching my wings and tail. I'm not like the rest of the dragons. I am different. Like all purple Deadly Nadders, I have a light purple colouring. My underwing colour is yellow and my underside is white. My eyes are different; I have white around a bright blue circle and a black spot in the middle.

Also, unlike normal Nadders, I can change into something called a Viking. I don't know much about them other than that my great-great-grand-father on my mother's side was one. I have never seen one before. The closest to one I've seen was my mother. She was like me, except she was part of both full time. She had a Viking face and chest, but she had winged arms and a tail.

I change into my Viking form and go to a waterfall and wash the dirt off my body.

"Palax!" Atrux, a female blue Gronckle, calls for me.

Atrux is one of my best friends. She and I met in a storm; she had gotten lost and couldn't fly anymore so she landed on the island. Atrux was very sick so my mother and I took care of her. She stayed on the island. That was many years ago.

I switch to my Nadder form and fly towards her.

Atrux says, "A weird floating dragon thing is nearing the island."

I say, "Where?"

She motions the way and I fly off that direction. I don't get close enough for it to see me. It is very strange; I have never seen anything like it before. I look closer; on top of the strange dragon is about three or four smaller creatures. I fly a bit closer to identify the creatures. I look at them… they're Vikings!

I fly closer, and I hear one of the Vikings yell, "There's a Nadder."

Something shoots towards me; it's a big black ball. I move from its path and it misses me. Three more shoot. I doge the first two, but the third hits my wing knocking me into the water. I hear a loud sound, and when I come back out of the water the strange dragon is on fire and the Vikings are jumping off it.

Rurr, a male Night Fury, flies to me and helps me back to the island.

Rurr is my best friend. He is the only Night Fury I have ever seen; I believe he may be the last of his kind. We were hatched the same hatching season and grew up together. No one knew what happened to his mother and father. He just hatched and was taken care of by a few of the other dragon mothers.

I look at Rurr for a moment before blacking out.

"Palax?" I hear Rurr say. I open my eyes and look at him. He says, "You're alright! I was so worried."

He nuzzles the side of my face. I say, "What happened?"

Rurr says, "A strange dragon attacked you. You landed in the water, inhaling a lot of it."

It comes back to me. The strange dragon, the Viking's, the black balls, one hitting me, Rurr saving me.

I say, "You saved me. Thank you, Rurr!"

I nuzzle him, like he did with me. Atrux walks into the room.

She says, "Palax! I'm so glad you're okay. I don't know what the island would do without your protection."

There's one more thing you should know about me… I rule the island.
