The Story of a Girl

Prologue

Serenity sat in her chair under her Golden Apple Tree on the little island of Berk. Laying in the Dragonnip were the dragons that made up her family. Ruby was her official guardian dragon. He was red orange with scarlet rhombus shapes down his neck, back, and tail. He also had scarlet wings and scarlet eyes. Laying next to him was his mate Harmony. She was a pure white dragon with feathery wings, instead of the traditional webbing. Laying next to her was Eider, and orphaned, young dragon who was being cared for by Ruby and Harmony. He was purple with black horns and amber eyes. Also laying in the tree's shade was the Dragon King, Re, and Queen Aurora. Re was a handsome emerald green with kelly green underside and ocean blue eyes. Aurora was the Dragon God Draco's daughter, and one of the few dragons that were borne with the gift of magic. She was sapphire blue with tropical blue underside and silver eyes. Laying next to her were their two hatchlings; a teal green and purple girl named Avalon and a red and gold boy named Apollo. Hanging upside down from a tree branch was Re's adopted brother Tenor. He was a Night Fury/Blackfang hybrid. He had the wings, tail, eyes, sonar flaps, scales, and body of a Night Fury. He also had a long, muscular neck, narrow snout, long legs, and black poisonous teeth. Also in the shade was Tenor's mate Windwalker, a beautiful black Night Fury with honey golden eyes. Laying next to her was her and Tenor's daughter Black Widow. She too was a Night Fury/ Blackfang hybrid, or a Nightfang. She was all black with a red hour glass shape on her forehead and red eyes. Sitting in another chair was Chris; Re and Aurora's adopted human son and Serenity's husband. And sitting on Serenity's lap was Edelweiss her year old daughter and Black Widow's future rider.

At the moment they were all listening to Serenity read one of the Draconians' favorite books, Wings of Fire: The Lost Heir. They all had spent the day either playing, flying, or sparing. Serenity had spent the day taking care of sick or injured dragons. But for the moment the hospital was devoid of patients. The sun was starting to set, but Re lit the camp fire so Serenity could keep reading.

Down in the Great Hall the vikings and dragons were eating diner. After a few minuets of just eating, Hiccup broke the silence.

"You know I just realized that we know the back story of every one of our allies except Serenity," he said.

"What are you talking about?" asked Astrid. "She was kicked out of her family at age five, moved in with the dragons, and became the world's best dragon healer."

"That's her life in an eggshell," said Hiccup. "But what about the details? What exactly did her parents do that was so abusive? What kind of mischief did she and Chris get into when they were kinds?"

"You think she remembers all that?" asked Astrid "She was only five years old when Ruby adopted her."

"I want to know how she's able to talk to dragons," said Fishlegs. "That must have taken her along time to learn."

"And some of those memories might be painful for her to remember," said Astrid.

"Still she should have a chance to tell her story," said Hiccup. "Let's go ask her tomorrow."

"Ok," said Astrid. They finished their diner and went home to bed.

The next day all the dragons and riders went up to the Dragon Hospital. They found the Draconians already up and eating breakfast.

"Excuse me Serenity," Hiccup said. She looked up from the book she was reading.

"Is someone injured?" she asked.

"No," said Hiccup. "We were just wondering if you wanted to tell us the story of your life. We know the story of all our other allies, but we don't know yours."

"Hmmm," said Serenity. She closed her book and leaned back in her chair. "Mine is a very long story and frankly I don't remember very much."

"We all remember," said Re. "And I think it's a great idea. No one knows your story except us." Serenity let out a huge breath.

"Well, okay," she said. "You might want to sit down it's a really long story, and please excuse me if I get emotional at some parts." The riders all sat around the fire and the dragons sat around her.

"I will only tell the parts I remember," she said. "The dragons will have to tell the rest of it." She cleared her throat and told them her story.
