All the Vikings were cheering for the Chief and wife, Stoick and Valka, they just had their wedding that day. They all went to the great hall to celebrate. Music was playing and everyone was dancing. Stoick and Valka were the first ones to dance. Once the dances were over, everyone was giving them gifts. Gobber gave Stoick a new axe unlike he ever created. It was made with the strongest metal in miles.

"Oh Gobber, this is the best axe you have ever made. It even has the Berk crest on it. If I have a son, I know someday he will use this axe to kill dragons."

Just then, there was a huge knock on the doors. Everyone paused and looked at the doors.

Valka walks up to Stoick. "Isn't everyone in the village here?"

"I'm pretty sure everyone is here."

Gobber walks up to him. "Maybe it is silent Sven. He couldn't come because he had the sniffles." Then they heard a sniffle in the crowd. "Oh wait, he's here."

Stoick walks to the door carrying his new axe. Gobber joins him along with a few others. Stoick opens the door and look out to see a young woman wet, on the ground and on her knees. She had black hair with brown tips. She lifted her head to show brown eyes.

"Please sir, my name is Maria the fair. I was supposed to be a prize for a chief along the waters. While I we were on our way, the boat was attacked by dragons. I am the only survivor of the boat wreck. Please let me live in this village. I can't go to that horrific village where I am prize too."

Valka made her way through the crowd and saw the young lady. Valka helps her up and brings her inside. The crowd parts as they walk. Gobber couldn't keep his eyes off of Maria. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life.

"Did I interrupt a celebration?"

"Today we had a wedding."

"Oh this is call for a perfect gift." Maria got into her pack pulls out something wrapped in a cloth. The cloth was glowing and everyone gathered around. "For the happy couple." She gave Valka the thing wrapped in the cloth.

Valka unwrapped the thing and gasped. "It's a glowing stone."

"Not just any stone." Gobber walked through the crowd. "It's a stone of good fortune."

"Where I come from, there were lots of these things in the high mountains."

"Thank you for this wonderful gift." Valka placed it aside and shook Maria's hand.

Stoick and Valka had a house made for Maria to live in and got her some new clothes to wear. She was honored to live on Berk. Maria was so happy that she was accepted in a new home. She decided to walk around Berk to see what the Vikings do around here. Where she came from, there were no Vikings so she can be a little curious about things. She walks up to Gobber's work shop and saw him pounding a sword.

"Hello Gobber."

Gobber almost dropped what he was doing when he heard her voice. "Maria. I didn't see you there. Well how's your stay on Berk?" He began to pound on the sword again.

"It's wonderful. Everyone here works differently than in my old village. I think it's because it wasn't a Viking village. The only time when we have swords and armor is when we are fighting of enemy armies and pirates."

"What about Dragons?"

"Oh, well I've never seen a real dragon back in the village. I've read all about them, studied them, but I've never seen one up close. But once I went into open waters to go to the village where I was gonna be for the rest of my life, I'll never get those faces out of my head."

"Wow, a village where are no dragon attacks. You must be so lucky."

"Yeah… I guess… so is the reason why Vikings are here is because of the dragons?"

"You can say that. Vikings intend to have stubborn issues. If you see a place where dragons mostly attack and there a people living in it, you a looking at a Viking village." Maria laughed a little bit then covered her mouth. "I like it when you laugh."

Maria blushed a bit. "Thanks."

Gobber puts down the sword. "You think, if you want, you and I can walk around the village together? You know if you need some place to hide from the dragon attacks since you don't know how to fight dragons."

Maria smiled. "Sure… I'd like that." Gobber switched his hammer hand with a wooden hand and began to walk with Maria.

Gobber and Maria spent the whole day together. Maria had learned everything that is to know about a Viking. Gobber was telling her the story of how he had lost his arm and leg.

"…then he had swallow it whole. I saw that look on his face. I was delicious. He must have spread the word because it was month after when another one took my leg."

"Wow. It sounds real hard when Vikings fight dragons."

"Yeah, but you'll get use to it. But don't worry; I won't let any dragon eat any of your hands or feet."

"You know Gobber, I may have the beauty of my mother, but I have the strength of my father." Maria walked over to a boulder and lifted it over her should then let one fall and she was now holding it with one hand.

Gobber now realized that the reason while Maria was named Maria the Fair didn't mean she was like fairest in the land, it meant she would always win a fair fight. "We could use your strength in dragon battles."

"Thanks but I would like to see how bad a dragon battle is before I get into one."

"I understand." Then an alarm was sounded off. "Dragon attack. How about you stick with me on the first attack?"

"Okay." They headed for his work shop.

It had been five months since Maria had arrived on Berk. Valka was 2 weeks pregnant and Maria and Gobber had fallen in love. Maria was in her special place on the island. It was a small cove where it was huge wall-like cliffs. (you all know where that is) She was fishing from the water looking into her reflection in the water remembering what had happened today.

Maria and Gobber were walking around the village until they made it to the great hall. Gobber was nervous the whole time.

"Gobber, are you okay?"

"I'm just… you know… nervous."

"About what?"

Gobber took a deep breath and looked at Maria. "Maria, I have a very important question to ask." He got down on one knee and Maria gasped. "Maria the fair, you have made me the happiest Viking in the world. And what would make me even happier is…" he got out a ring. "Is if you say yes. Maria… will you marry me?"

Maria was stunned. "Wow, this is so sudden… I'm not saying no. Definitely not saying no… but I need to think about this." Maria ran out of the great hall leaving Gobber stunned.

Stoick came from behind a Colum and patted Gobber on the back. "You heard her, she's not saying no."

"But she's not saying yes either which has me worried."

Maria looks in the water. "I don't know what to do. I want to say yes, but I can't. If Nightwing finds me and him, he'll…" Then a terrible terror flew next to her to grab a fish. Maria smiled and gave him a fish. It ate the fish and sat next to her. "What am I going to do little guy? If I say yes, I'm dead. If I say no, I might as well drop dead. What should I do?" The terrible terror spit out a piece of fish and Maria looked at it. "You're right little guy. I should follow my heart." (Gross huh?) The heart of the fish was still beating and Maria got grossed out. " I know what to do." She climbed out of the cove and ran into town. She saw Gobber and ran to him. "Gobber." Gobber looked up and saw her. "Yes… I will marry you."

"You will? Yes! Hey everyone! Maria said yes!" Everyone cheered and congratulated them.

Maria the fair and Gobber the blech (I think that's his full name) were married and now expecting a child. Many months later, Valka had given birth to a baby boy. Since he was a runt, in Viking tradition, Valka named him Hiccup. Later in the month, Maria snuck out of the village for in a few hours, she knew she would give birth to her child. Dragons surrounded her so that way she can give birth in peace. A few hours later, she gave birth to a baby girl. She had blue eyes and black hair with blond stripes. But what surprised her was… this baby had wings. They were as black as night. Then the dragons began to hide for they heard something coming.

Maria looked up to see a black dragon. "Nightwing."

Maria let me see her. Maria nodded and walked up and showed him the baby. She looks so fierce, but she is still 2/3 human. You know at first, I was upset that you left me and the others. But now I see that with this little girl, maybe we can help her get ready for the creature of the future. He looks at her face. Oh my mate, what is wrong my dear?

"Is it wrong… to love two men?"

Nightwing rubbed his face with hers. That's what I thought when I love two girls. When you helped Starfly with the courtship flight, rest her soul, I thought that I had forced you into marriage. But then the more I spent time with you, the more I fell for you. If I can add two women in my life, I don't see why you can't have two men in your life. Besides, our child might have to go through the same thing what we have to do. He looks at the child carefully. Uh oh. We have a problem. She might have wings, but she doesn't have a tail. We don't know she will be able to fly.

"Don't worry, by the time she's 8 years old, she'll be able to fly."

"Maria! Maria, where are you?!"

Maria turned around to look over the cove cliff. "It's Gobber. I have to go… I think it's time I should tell him the truth."

Yeah I think it would be best. Nightwing began to fly. Until then Jewel. He flew off to his island.

Maria was standing with the baby in her arms. She looks at the wings on her baby. "It's okay my little one. I'll always be here for you." She then froze when she heard a familiar voice.

"Maria. I knew you would be here. You shouldn't have gone by yourself due to… hey… are you okay?"

Maria looked over her shoulder to see her husband. "Gobber. There are two things you need to know right now. One will wait for later, while the other I have to tell you right now… … I have given birth to a baby girl."

"She's here? Let me see her." Gobber took a few steps toward them.

"Wait." Gobber stopped in his steps. "What you are about to see my shock you." Maria slowly turns around. Gobber jaw drops when he saw his daughter in Maria's arms. She saw the wings and took a half step back. "I know you are scared but this is your daughter. She is 1/3 dragon and 2/3 human."

Gobber walks up to them and slowly touches his hand on the baby's face. The baby opens its eyes and smiled. She grabbed his finger began to squeeze it. "Wow for a newborn, she has a very strong grip." He smiles at the baby. "So what's her name?"

"I was hoping you could name her."

Gobber carried her in his arm. He smiled and looks at his wife. "Erica… for she has her mother's beauty." Maria looks at her baby and smiles. "Come on, we have to cover up to hide her wings. I might accept that she is 1/3 dragon, but I know the other Vikings won't accept it."

Maria nods and they both head for the village with their new born child.

What do you guys think of my first story? please be positive. this is just a little of part of it. Maria will tell Gobber of what she was doing in next chapter. I'm gonna try to post next week.
