This is Berk. Twelve days north of hopeless, and a fue degrees south of freezing to death. It's located solidly on the merdian of misery. The village in a word, sturdy. It's been here for 10 generations since we first settled here, but all the building are new. Yeah, lots and lots of new buildings. We have training, fun and of course the beautiful sunset at raven-point. The only problems are the pests. You see, some places might have mosquitoes, or mice. But we have Dragons.
I know, not exactly normal, but this whole place is a perfect description of not normal. I was shocked at first when I first heard this, crazy right?
On this foggy, pitch black night, I was trying to get to sleep, but with all the dragons scaring all the sheep, and the sheep crying in fear, how was a girl supposed to sleep? I screamed in annoyance. ''GRRRGGHHH! WON'T THEY EVER STUT UP?!'' I stomped out of my room, and quickly put on my aqua tunic with metal shoulder blades, a French blue skirt underneath, black leggings, and wool boots. ''Licht! I know you have a long day of training, but you are needed outside with the others!'' Called a tall, blonde Viking from downstairs. ''I'm on it!'' I shouted back.
The lady there is my auntie. She took me in when i travelled to berk when my parents died, and my village was destroyed. The village isn't paradise, but its better than living in a destroyed village, where everyone is dead. But it's my home, with my auntie, uncle, cousin, and cat; fisher.
Most people would leave. But not us Vikings, we're different, We have stubbornness issues. My names Licht, not the most fetching name in the world i know. But Viking parents belive that horrific names frighten off gnomes and trolls. Like that would work.
This village has a bunch of teens, most of them are in one group of friends. Which I don't bother with, since I'm not exactly popular here. The first teen here is Fishlegs. He's a huge dragon nerd. He knows pretty much everything about every dragon, you will ever meet. He a quite big build, with large bones, making him appears much more intimidating than he actually is. He's also quite quiet. He's ok i guess, it's just the fact he's crazy over dragons and that's a bit too much for my liking.
The next duo of trouble of there is Ruffnut, and Tuffnut. There twins, they will be at each other's throughts a lot, you know basic twin rivalry ,which can get alittle annoying at times, but they are funny. Ruffnut the girl of the duo; is more intelligent than Tuffnut. Tuffnut; he's known for playing pranks on people, trust me! I've experience one of his pranks before, that was rather well...let's say i don't want that to happen again. EVER.
Now for Snotlout. Mr I'm-such-a-great-guy-just-look-at-these-muscles-babe! He's your typical Viking guy. He's muscular, arrogant, flirty, and annoying. He's what you call a picture of a hero, when in reality he's not a hero. He's such a kissup to girls! I don't like him what so ever!
Now for last, but nowhere near least according to the village; Astrid. She's the village beauty, and queen bee. Shes the most popular here, unless you include our chief. Shes annoyingly strong, intelligent, and the most perfect person you have ever met. I think we could get along if only she wasn't so mean at times, and so i'm-so-high-and-mighty.
Yes, i'm jealous. So what? Who wouldn't be? Even my crush wants her.*sighs* I wish he would look at me like that. Although, Astrid would never date him.
I ran outside to the others, where the dragons had set fire to the buildings. Flames roared high, and dragons filled the sky; smoke surrounded me. ''Awwwww, come on gobber!'' A scrawny kid growned from the blacksmiths. That scrawny, auburn haired kid over there, with the barrel is Hiccup. I like Hiccup, he was the one to welcome me when i first moved to berk three years ago. People make fun of me for hanging around with him, but who cares? He might be the runt of the tribe but it doesn't mean i cant be friends with him.
He's actually an interesting, cool guy in my mind. In others he's the complete opposite. He's the tribe's apprentice of the blacksmith. Hiccup shows me all his inventions to me, ever since the time i accidently found my way to his studio, and found all kinds of crazy things. We share almost everything, however a fue things I can't tell him yet, due to it would make us awkward, and involves my past which I prefer not to talk about.
Hiccups great at drawing! We draw a lot together, I can draw but I'm pretty sure a 5 year old could draw better. He makes strange, wacky, and amazing inventions, like the one he has in the barrel wait what is that? Oh well.
'I may as well start taking out the fires.' I thought as i throw my water onto the fire. Wait a second...Astrid's here?! You have to be joking me! Really Gods? That's what you had in mind? You stinky, little Gods! I saw Hiccup staring at Astrid, and Gobber the blacksmith noticed, and picked him up by his hook and dragged him to the other end of the workshop.
I giggled at how Hiccup is staring at Astrid again. Hiccup likes Astrid, I'm not surprised to be honest. I have to admit it's an unexpected thing, right? Oh well, love is strange and hates by the Vikings. I still don't get why they hate it though.
''What are you giggling at?'' Astrid asked. ''Nothing much...'' I mumbled. Astrid rudely exclaimed, 'Well then stop giggling and get back to work your slowing us down, unless you want to go join him.'' I roll my eyes at her. I smile and wave at the dorky friend of mine; Hiccup. I mouth ''Sorry, Hiccup'' He smiles back with his signature smile.
''What are you doing here?''
''Get back inside!''
''Why are you here?''
''Get back inside!''
Is heard from a bunch of people near by. ''I will i promise!'' I turn round to see a familiar Viking, A.K.A Hiccup. Oh Thor, Hiccup has gone out AGAIN. Don't get me wrong, Hiccups a good guy! It's just not exactly Viking material. And he's known for getting into trouble when he only means the best. But between me and you, i think he's cool that he's isn't Viking material, he he~
Part of being a Viking is to fight, and kill dragons. I'm all for killing dragons! Because killing dragons is everything around here. Different types of dragons get you different rewards. Like a Nadder would atleast get you noticed. Gronkles are tough; they would defiantly get me a boyfriend. Zippleback? Exotic, Two heads. Twice the status. The most talented Vikings go after them, because they have a nasty habit of setting themselves on fire. But the almighty prize is the dragon no one has ever seen before, we call it...
''Nightfury!''
''Get down!''
A 'BOOM' sound was heard. The Nightfury has hit a tower. This thing never misses. And always hits. It never steals food, and never shows itself. This is an extremely rare dragon, and there are not many left, we have only heard of this one ,and no others.
Hiccup always said say's he'll capture this Nightfury one day. I only listen to him. That reminds me he was working on a new invention yesterday. I think the plans in his studio were for some sort of weapon to capture a...NIGHTFURY?! He really is going to do it! Does he know how dangerous it is?! Of course he does. That's Hiccup for you. That idiot! Seriously Hiccup? Well im sorry mister but not this time, not today Hiccup Horedous Haddock the Third!
I hear a scream. It sounds like a human voice. But no...it's to squeaky for any viking apart from...Hiccup! Oh shit. Okay, so im going to need a bucket of water, and a rope.
Bucket of water? Check.
Rope?...damn where's rope when you need it? Hang on there's some rope in the store room, bingo! I run past people, accidently bumping into people who look at me like annoyed. I dump into some of the teens, they glare at me like im trash, and i only stick my tongue out.
I arrive at the storeroom and grabe the rope. Now to get hiccup!
''Hiccup! Hang on!'' I shouted to Hiccup.
Is his jacket on fire? Oh dear,Yep...totally great help Hiccup. Oh gods, please help Hiccup. He's in need of a real push. He's a bundle of trouble, thats why i need to help.
I'm Licht Lucky Light the Second. And i'm here to help this scrawny kid over here. This is gonna take some time...like a long time.
