Kinla, Linka, and Finla were all sleeping peacefully, when suddenly they heard a thundering crash. All of them instantly jolted awake and looked around at each other.

"What was that?", Finla asked.

"I don't know but I don't like the sounds of it.", replied Kinla.

Then a large horn blew through the air. The attack warning. All three girls jumped off their beds and grabbed their weapons. Kinla grabbed her lance, Linka had her trusty bow and arrows, and Finla grabbed her shield.

"Its a dragon attack!", Linka yelled over screaming vikings and dragons.

"Quick, we have to stop them!" exclaimed Finla.

The triplets quickly rushed outside to try and stop the fight like they had always attempted, but never succeeded. They almost got blasted a few times but managed to stop some of the winged beasts. Soon into the fight, Kinla realized that something was different.

"Something isn't right here.", She told her sisters.

"We know that, already.", replied Linka as she ducked under a shot from a Deadly Nadder, "These dragons seemed to be controlled by something."

At that moment a strange battle cry came from near the docks and more dragons swarmed towards them.

"Let's check it out!" Kinla exclaimed beckoning to her sisters to follow. They knew they would be alone because no other vikings have gone to the docks during a battle, since the day they had lost half their tribe when the dock fell out.

All three girls started to silently creep towards the dock. As their feet stepped on the wood path they saw what was different about this battle. An enormous mismached armada of viking ships was anchored off their shores, which were invisible due to the ragged cliffs surrounding the village. Three men stood by the boats with heads held high, as if they were sure that they would win the battle. Two of the men, Alvin the Treacherous and Dagur the Deranged, looked familiar to the girls, as they were usual enemies and their signatures were visible on their ships. The other man though, didn't look familiar at all. Linka, Kinla, and Finla were so busy trying to figure out what to do, they didn't notice that some enemy vikings had ambushed them until it was too late. The vikings grabbed them and pulled them into the open. Instincts kicking in, they fought against their attackers trying to make use of their weapons. Unfortunately, these vikings were twice their size and three times as strong; The triplets were easily made immobile as their weapons were thrown into the sea.

"Hey! That is my best lance! It took me a whole day and a half to make it!", Kinla yelled at one man.

"Well, what do we have here?" snickered Dagur.

"Looks like some helpless little girls." said the stranger.

"Who are you?", asked Kinla attempting to again kick free.

"And why are you attacking our island!", exclaimed Linka.

"We'll tell you if,", replied Dagur,

"You tell us who the Dragon Riders are.", declared Alvin.

The girls looked at each other in shock. How could they possibly know that there were dragon riders on their island when their own village didn't even know.

Thinking fast, Finla replied "What are you talking about? There aren't any Dragon Riders here."

"Don't lie, we know there's riders here somewhere." the stranger snarled. He rolled his eyes and started to walk away. "Get rid of them!" The human monsters walked toward the edge of the village, held the girls over and slowly let go.
