(Hiccup POV)
it started as a small little black dot.. one Hiccup and toothless thought nothing of. What with it high fishing season, and work to be done. but slowly..it got bigger. And bigger. the little dot took a shape, and the shape turned from just lines to storm clouds. Strong and wild looking.
it was working its way up. that's what Hiccups father said, when he seen it. the chief too, worried about the size of the storm.
it worked its way slowly, always there, but never making a move. Hiccup thought it was some what like a wild dragon.. just there but never coming any closer. Toothless didn't like it as much as any one. the black dragon would look up to the spot the storm was coming in, and make odd little chirps mixed with a hiss. it was like he was talking to another dragon..
Hiccup and his friends where only on Berk for a short stop, they where still working out at the edge, and they got a note saying they needed to come in an help a little with some fishing boats and another scauldron taking out fishing boats.
so he said he would come in with every one,and make sure they rehomed the wild dragon. that was before the storm came in. came in and ruined the planes to fly right back out after the rehoming. once they say the clouds up close, the riders knew it was to big to fly around.
the gang was less then happy. Snotlout whined about it some what, saying he didn't want to deal with his dad in one of his moods. the twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut where fine with it. do to the fact there was more people to 'Loki-e'. Fishlegs worried about the night terrors, and hopped they would be fine. Astrid was ok with the idea. she worried because they left Heather back on the base, and she didn't want her being alone. Again...
Hiccup told them there was really no way around the storm. and then it was upon them, like Thor in the battle of ragnarok. it was loud, and it was fast. the dragons all hid in the houses with their riders.
the house was being pushed to its limits, as Hiccup sat on his bed, trying to work on some maps. Toothless was curled up in his rock bed, when a loud flash of lighting, and a crash sounded from out side. the male dragon jumped up, and let out a loud half roar half growl. he growled at a small window Hiccup had in his room. one that was closed off.
"hey,hey..what is it boy?" Hiccup asked his dragon as he moved over and put a hand on Toothless head. the night furry growled loudly again and locked his eyes on the window. Hiccup looked at it, and slowly walked closer , and opened it, just a small bit. out side, the storm lashed out and ripped its claws into any thing. The wind howled more then a screaming death .
the thunder roared and rolled, and lighting danced a twisted and wild path across the sky. Hiccup was about to turn, when he saw it..
the shadow, of a large beast, ripping around the sky. the roar was not only from the storm, but from the animal .lighting danced over its scales, as the young warrior could see what it was..a skirll.. Hiccup couldn't see every thing about it, he was to far. but then he saw the rider.
cloaked in fur, and wrapped in shadows, Hiccup could only widen his eyes and let out a shocked gasp as the rider's head turned. ghost white, and black... A skull. a skull was the riders head. he could only see the rider in the flash of lighting.
but like that, they where gone. Hiccup closed the window and shook his head. looking over at his dragon friend. "you saw that to. Right?" Toothless make a wobbling sound and bobbed his head.
"ya..i thought so to."
Hiccup went to bed, worried, just a little, that something was out there. watching the village.
the storm didn't let up the next day, or the day after that. soon people worried it would never go away. and they would all die from lack of food.
then, it was gone. just like that. the storm was gone, and the village moved out to see what had befallen their homes. the village was... some what still there. homes that where blown in would need to be remade, but on one was hurt,and that was a good thing.
some store houses had been taken out, and the village lost about a mouths worth of winter food. they would have to work hard to replace that.
"Hiccup, could I get a little help with finding some of the dragons that got spooked off over the storm?" Fishlegs asked, walking up to the young warrior, who was trying to help put up a wall with Toothless.
"lost dragons? I thought they where all put away before the storm." Hiccup said rising an eye brow as he turned to his very tall friend.
"turns out, some of the dragons didn't get in the great hall tell last minute. And even then some didn't get past the doors." Fishlegs had a worried look on his face. he always hated to hear about animals, many dragons, that could be hurt.
"ya, and you know what? my dad's is one of them. so if we could I don't know, hurry this up a little that would be great!" Snotlout half yelled half said as his dragon Hook fang came flying in. the red nightmare crashed to the ground with a thud and a smug look on his face
"ow!Hook fang!" Snotlout yelled.
"ok, ok. me and toothless will help you guys out. may as well get every one in on it. has any one seen the twins and Astrid? " Fishlegs made a face and Snotlout huffed a little.
"the twins are down by the store houses, trying to help. your girlfriend is flying around the village doing gods know what." Snotlout said with another big huff.
Hiccup him self sighed. they soon found their friends, and where just about to fly off when Astrid pulled him aside.
"hey, Hiccup. look I don't want to worry you. but there's been talk around the village. people said when the storm rolled in, they where... seeing things. up in the sky, flying with the lighting. some one said they saw a skulled warrior riding a dragon in the storm." Astrid looked over at the quite Hiccup.
"ya. I saw it too." he said in a hushed voice. so more people saw that. a warrior with a skull and no face, riding in the sky.
"come on. we have to find the dragons."
"Hiccup. aren't you worried this could be something. Bad. you know if this is another rider, it could mean bad news for us." Hiccup turned to look at the young woman, she was standing by her dragon, Storm fly. both where about ready to jump on their dragons and fly up into the sky. to get this show on the road.
"I don't know Astrid. I really don't."
the group had to fly all over Berk. you would think, for growing up there, the riders would know their way around. it took them hours to even find a clue about the dragons.
it was getting later, the sun in the lower part of the sky, when a cry came from one of the twins. it was Ruffnut.
"look! there's the dragons!" she yelled pointing past the horns of her own two headed dragon she shared and to the ground, where a small thunder of dragons had stopped.
they where high into the woods, where it was some what colder, and by a pool of water. the pool was backed by the mountain."and there's my dads! Yes!" Snotlout yelled with a wild smug look. Hiccup could see the dragons all quietly drinking water.
"but why didn't they just fly home?" he asked thinking out loud.
"maybe they got lost." Tuffnut said with one of his carefree looks.
the riders came down and landed close to the dragons. non of them looked hurt.
"great, lets get the dragons and go home!" four , one Gronckle, one Hideous Zippleback , one Monstrous Nightmare.
"hey wait..where's my dad's dragon?" Snotlout asked, looking around. "it was just here!" the young warrior pointed to the pool where the dragons where drinking.
"don't worry, I'm sure its around here some where." Astrid said in a easy voice. they looked at the pool, then every one's heads moved to the left when a pained dragon cry echoed from a small little canyon like spot hiding behind the brush.
"come on!" Hiccup yelled, as Toothless dived off to find the maker of the sound. the ground twisted and turned as the riders darted around rocks, and trees.
they soon came to a small opening, and found sitting in it a Nadder. Snoutlouts dad's dragon. it was sitting on a grassy floor, with the walls of the canyon around it.
"oh thank Thor!" Fishlegs said with a sigh. then one of the twins let out a loud "wow" beside the Nadder, sitting on its own hunches , was a dragon known for its power to use lighting and ride the storms. a skirll..
the skirll was a dark purple, with lighter shades of purple on its wings. scars covered the wings, and some on its trail from past fights. a lighting shaped one was a cross the eye closest to them.
Toothless and the dragons all growled. not forgetting the last skirll they had to fight. Hiccup put a hand on his dragon's head. "easy boy. ok, lets move in nice and slo-"
"forget that! lets get my dad's dragon back!" Snotlout yelled, as him and Hook fang dived past at a crazy speed. Snotlout let out a war cry as they did this. Hiccup sighed and the rest of them dived after the nightmare dragon.
the skirll looked up and let out a loud roar, lighting glowing in it mouth. "give me back that dragon you-" Snotlout was cut off by a masked person jumping in the way of the path he took. a white skull mask.
he let out a shocked yelp, as Hook fang crashed into the side, away from the person.
"what the!"
(End of Hiccup POV)
he crashed into the side, and every one landed, looking at the rider and dragon, then the skirll and masked warrior.
"its real.." one of the twins said with a gasp. the warrior looked at them from under their mask. and up close every one could see it was a woman. the shirt she had on showed off her small body and they could see a light purple skirt around her hips.
"wait, whats real?" Fishlegs said in a hushed worried voice.
"duh the Lighting Rider."
"Gezz Fishlegs."
"who are you?" Hiccup asked, getting off Toothless. every could see, the masked woman had a thing in her hands. it was wrapping, she had been putting it around the hurt dragons foot. only Hiccup saw that she was trying to help.
"wait!" he yelled, stopping the group for attacking. "wait?! she has my dads dragon!" Snotlout growled. the twins nodded, and Fishlegs looked unsure. Astrid looked at Hiccup.
"look, she's helping. there's something on the dragon's foot." he pointed, and it was easy to see a stick cutting into the dragon.
"aw, poor girl, that dragon is hurt!" Fishlegs said with a little worried whine.
they all stopped moving, and the masked woman fixed what she could on the dragon's leg. she patted it and moved to face the group of riders. her own dragon behind her like a shadow.
"care to take off your mask?" Hiccup asked raising an eye brow.
"uhh Hiccups the lighting rider can't take off their mask..duh their face is burned beyond like..burned."
Hiccups shot the Twins a mean glare, then looked back to the rider.
"you can see our faces. but we can't see yours." the girl nodded and put her hands to her helmet . it slipped off, and from under it a water fall of red hair fell free, framing a face with blue eyes.
the woman raised her own eye brow and smiled a little. "and now you see mine." her voice was some what song like, just so and she had amazing blue green eyes with her red hair.
"my names Sky. and you are?"
