A/N: hello! This is my second fanfiction, although my first one is in hiatus for SEVERE writer's block. So I decided to do this one. My thought was, what if hiccup had someone like him, who was abused and all, whom he meets along with toothless. Then I figured, why not make her from the modern world, cause I'm the author, so I can make her part chicken if I wanted (not that I'm going to do that). This fanfiction is dedicated to harrypanther, the greatest fanfiction writer of all time. I drew quite a few things from his works, namely If, Behind the Mask, and Heir and Pride. That means so much to me! Also, please R&R. it means a ton.
The nameless warrior sat rigidly on the back of her indigo dragon. She had been flying around, doing some recon before returning to the small ship they called home. The ship itself was a small trading vessel, loaded with strange goods from beyond this world. There was no sail; instead a strange harness system was attached to the mast, allowing the dragon to pull the ship through all waters.
"Stormcaster, girl, let's land. We found a good island though." The girl and her dragon landed on the deck of the ship. She gave her dragon a fish, and watched her beloved pet curl up on the deck of the vessel, before the rider herself descended below. She looked over her possessions, all of them from the world of earth, not Midgard. Books written in the strange tongue of English, soft blankets woven of polyester, brightly colored tee shirts, and even a phone, ear buds, and solar powered charger. The girl sighed.
As much as she loved her home (and running water), she had to leave. There was no place for a 'delusional' girl who still believed in dragons. The rider looked up at the ceiling, where she heard Stormcaster snoring away. The girl turned back to her map, this object from the world she currently resided in. It showed an archipelago of islands, one of which she could see rising in the distance, the small island of Berk.
Mary Williams, now renamed Lady Phoenix Song, Bane of the Blackwoods, sat up in her lime green Eno, and looked up at the board ceiling of her quaint little ship, the Submaripper (named for the fearsome dragon she had seen only once), and stretched. Today she was sailing her vessel to the abandoned beach on the far side of the island, where she would then move into a small cave she had found. From there, she would have not only a permanent home, but a place where she could free dragons form the biased Vikings.
Phoenix walked up to the deck, enjoying the 'Blue Hour' as she called it, right before the sun came up, but the sky was turning orange, thus bathing everything in an eerie blue light. Stormcaster was still fast asleep, scales changing from indigo to lavender as they were bathed in light.
Stormcaster was a Lightning Fyre dragon, the only documented one of her kind. Her scales changed from lavender to indigo depending on light levels, and she had the appearance of a Night Fury crossed with a Skrill. She had spiky frills, but a flat face, and the body of a night fury as well. She had intelligent bright purple eyes, and her claws were silver.
Her fire was singularly unique. While she could shoot a plasma blast like a night fury, she could also 'edge it with lightning', as Phoe called it, meaning that the ball of fire would gravitate to any living animal. Storm also had the ability to literally summon thunderstorms. By flying high in the air, the Lightning Fyre dragon could generate a decently sized thunderhead. While the dragon could not redirect lightning, she could generate it, and thus Phoe had two swords designed to channel the electricity along the blades, and shoot the lightning at her enemies.
Phoe, even had she not been riding on the back of a Lighting Fyre dragon, would have still have attracted attention. When she had lived on earth, as Mary, she had been singularly average, with brown hair and eyes. But now that she had become Phoe, and had been able to shed the insults that had dominated her life, she stood out. After a month of Throk boot camp, working in the forge, and fighting the Dragon Hunters, she had grown some muscle. Phoe now dressed in form fitting tee shirts made of strips of brightly colored cloth, and dark leggings and combat boots, with a skirt made of the broken tailfin of her dragon.
Storm had her tailfin literally sliced off, by a hunter trying to by some approval with his boss. Phoe then made her precious beast a harness system, because Storm couldn't fly on her own. After she had run away, Phoenix, then still Mary, had been shot twice in the foot. The doctors decided just to amputate the foot, so she had designed a foot based off of the ones from Earth. Now she and her dragon could be invalids together.
Mary then renamed herself Lady Phoenix Song (Phoenix because they were awesome, song because it worked, and lady cause she could), then earned her title 'Bane of the Blackwoods' by blowing up Blackwood Base and Trading Center, and freeing at least fifty dragons. The island was barely habitable by the time she was done.
After that, she asked Mala for a spare boat from the extensive Defenders of the Wing fleet, and loaded up her things and went into the Great Beyond. After making it though the fog bank, Phoe purchased a map from a lovely tribe of woman warriors, led by a woman named Bertha. They taught her some self defense stuff before Phoe went back to exploring. There was something out there, pulling on her. She just didn't know what it was.
What Phoe was looking for was a family. A group of people that would accept her in a way her blood family never had. Of course, not too many liked dragons, let alone rode them. So Phoe had named herself their protector, and vowed to keep them safe from the Vikings that sought to harm them.
Which brought her to Berk. She would live on the far side of the island, and at night, sneak in the village under her changewing skin cloak, free all the dragons she could, and by day, she would enjoy herself by researching, relaxing, and flying over distant islands.
Phoe unloaded quickly, knowing there would be a raid tonight. She would save the dragons, and be what she said she would always be. Rider, Warrior, Hero.
