chapter 1

NRA: hey y'all! Narwhal Riding Alien here! this is only my second fan fiction story, so be fairly nice in reviews! this story starts out a little more humorous than later on. trust me, it'll get kinda dark and have creepy flash-backs and what-not. please review for all that is holy! (or if you like it )

"Whoa, take it easy girl!" i yelled at my Kryler, a massive green dragon that was common to the island near northern Norway that i live on.

I've heard of many dragons in another place not to far away, but i grew up here, in the Isle of the Norse. I was orphaned here long ago and had to grow up with the dragons on the small island. There were only four species:

-The Frinter, a small but highly poisonous little beast that could spit acid blobs up to fifty feet away. They were usually purple with a reddish underbelly.

-The Ripslash, a long, more serpentine dragon that had razor sharp spines along the sides of its body. They had long, almost wavy horns that were golden. It's coloring was generally blue that faded to purple and finally red around it's eyes.

-The Kryler, the dragon that i was currently attempting to ride. No matter what i did, i couldn't keep the giant calm. Despite its scary appearance, all Krylers were scaredy cats. They had long necks that had a round seat-like ring around the back of their heads. The rings had four points like a compass, where a certain off colored point would always point north by some kind of force. They were all a light green, which was why i called them the Jade Giants. They were loveable, but when some one was to try to ride it, it would freak out.

-Then there was The Spree. This dragon was lightning fast, and could create balls of lightning, fire, and sometimes water to shoot at prey. There was only one on my island and it was a girl with white and a pale blue on her under side so when looked at from below, someone would think she's just a moving cloud. The dragon's top was a beautiful pure white that shone with radiance. The only disturbance was a black double helix pattern down her back and tail. i thought of her as my guardian and the island's protector. I was closest to her, because she was the dragon that took me in when my parents were killed off the coast of the island by the isle pirates. i was only four at the time.

She protected me until i could fend for myself, then she let me stay by myself during the day. No matter what would happen though, she would find me and have me curl up with her before we fell asleep.

For a while, i had heard of rumors from the only migrating dragons, the Frinters, of an island that had a village that had befriended dragons. From what i heard, there were much more than four species of dragons there. Intrigued by this, and after given up on the Kryler, i went to talk with my Spree.

"Did Flint let you ride her?" asked my mother figure as i approached her.

"No, i don't see why they are such a frightened species...but have you heard of a place called, what was it..Berk. I heard the Frinters talking about it and how there are a lot of other dragons there." i said, begging for her to catch on. Her black eyes narrowed slightly.

"I was wondering if i could go there. I wanted you to fly me there? We wouldn't even have to land! I just want to see a village that is with peace with dragons!" i said quickly.

"the trip will be very long, we would have to land." said the Spree.

"but, Skrit, pleeaase? I just want to see it for one night!"
The dragon sighed.

"I knew this would happen one day, those pesky Frinters... Okay, yes. We will leave at sunrise tomorrow. Get ready tonight." said my best friend/mom/dragon.

"Thank You!" i ran up and hugged her. She chuckled lightly and sat on her haunches so she could pry me off with her front paws.

...

When Skrit said we'll leave at sunrise, she meant it. She nudged me awake just as the sun was peeking over the horizon, and she had my bag i had packed with lunch and extra clothes in her mouth to give to me.

"You can sleep a little when we are in the air." she said after i had gotten on her back. "i have already told the others about our trip, and some may join us later." she said, and shot into the air.

"Woo!" I yelled out, loving the awesome feeling in my gut whenever she lifted off.

Soon, we were gliding along the cloud line at inhuman speeds. No matter how much i tried, i couldn't bring myself to sleep while flying. I felt like i had to see everything that was going on below. I saw many islands go past us, and a long stretch of land that i guessed was some of the 'main land' where my parents and i had been leaving when we got ambushed.

I shuddered at the memory, watching my parents go down in a burning ship. I was clinging to a grave looking dragon that had carried me to an island far enough away to not be seen, but close enough to see everything that happened.

Skrit looked back at me warily and shook her head. "don't think about it. You cant change the past, sweet." she said kindly.

"I know, i guess it was for the best, i wouldn't be here with you if that hadn't happened!" she did a little trick in the air to get me more pumped up.

"Haha! Skrit, you are so nice!" i laughed.

...

By the time the sun was setting, a larger island came to view in the west. I had gotten some sleep - which i later realized was only five minutes - and i was not tired at all. I was just hungry and nervous to meet some of the new people.

"we will stay for a week, at the least. You must realize that things here tend to turn into major problems. People can fix them, but sometimes it takes an outside force to help them. We will stay longer if our help is needed." she said to me.

A new wave of fear washed over me. "Uhh, Skrit? Could we not meet anyone tonight? I just want to get some food and rest at the moment..." I whispered to her.
She looked back at me and smiled. "Sure!"

As we neared the island, she dove to the back where a small beach was, and we found a cave.

While she took some warmer leaves in it to make it like home, i went to the edge of the ocean. I used a wooden stick that was sharpened to jab into the water. I ended up catching three good sized fish and made a fire inside the cave.

I cooked one of them, then fed one of the larger ones to Skrit. I saved the last one for later.
After our dinner, we curled up and fell asleep in the orange glow of dying coals.

NRA: so? how is it? TELL ME IN A REVIEW!
