Chapter 2


The six teens and six dragons gathered in the arena. All eyes were fixated on the tiny night fury that was playing with Hiccup's viking helmet. She batted at a horn and watched the helmet spin around then continued, letting out a squeaky roar of pleasure now and again.

"Too bad Tuffnut isn't that cute. Maybe he'd actually get a girlfriend." Ruffnut chuckled.

"So, girls like that kinda thing?" Snotlout flicked Astrid's braid. She glared at him and slapped him. "Oh!" Snotlout hit the ground and Sliversky put her front paws on the helmet to stare at the injured Snotlout. She chirped in delight, seeming to be laughing. Toothless picked her up by the back of her neck and moved her out of Snotlout's view, so she couldn't see him. He growled at her and she looked down, her ears flopping down.

Hiccup sighed. "Guys, c'mon! What are we gonna do? She must belong to someone since she has the collar."

Fishlegs picked up the small dragon under her front legs. She squirmed then looked at him curiously. He studied the rock. "It doesn't look like any stone that's found on Berk...and we don't have any information on the night fury beside what we've gathered from Toothless. If we knew where the stone came from, maybe we could find out where this little dragon came from." Sliversky smiled a gummy smile at Fishlegs then scrambled up his arm to curl up around his neck. He smiled happily at her.

"That's a good idea, Fishlegs." Hiccup looked at the slumbering Sliversky. "C'mon. We'll go ask, Gobber. He may know. Astrid? Can you show the others where we found her? Maybe there's another clue there we missed." Everyone got on their dragons and flew off in different directions.


Toothless and Meatlug landed in the middle of town and the boys hopped down, running to Gobber's dentist office. He was currently checking Thornado's teeth and nodding as he checked each tooth. Hiccup and Fishlegs ran over. "Hey, Gobber? We need you take a look at something." Hiccup watched Gobber work.

"Just a minute, Hiccup..." Gobber's whole head was in Thornado's jaws. "Here we go!" A crack was heard and Gobber removed his head, holding a fish spine in his hand. He waved the spine at the dragon. "Make sure ya swallow all of it next time!" He shooed the dragon away. "Now, boys. What is it ya need?" Gobber brushed his hands off on his pants and walked over to the teens. He froze. "Another night fury?"

"Yea, but it's her collar we need to talk to you about. Gobber, do you recognize this type of stone?" Hiccup showed him the pendant and Gobber crouched a little to see it.

"Sliversky? Hmmm..." He touched the stone and sniffed it. "Sodalite. It's very rare round these parts, though." Sliversky growled at the viking and hid behind Fishlegs's head, peering at Gobber nervously. Fishlegs patted her head, calming her.

Hiccup turned to Gobber. "So where exactly can we find sodalite?"

Gobber tapped his chin with his hook. "Now let me think..." He wandered back to his store. "I have it around here somewhere..."


The four teens flew over the forest quietly. "There!" Astrid pointed to the rocks where Sliversky had been found. They flew down and landed in the small clearing. Astrid showed them where they had found the small dragon.

Tuffnut stuck his head in the opening. "It's dark! Really dark!" Ruffnut shoved Tuffnut in further and snickered.

Astrid sighed and shook her head as she searched.

"Uhhh, guys?" They all looked to where Snotlout was pointing. The royal blue changewing landed and hissed at the group. It glared at the other dragons causing them to shy away, then turned its attention to the kids. It raised its antennas and pushed them from the opening. It sniffed and pulled back in surprise then howled sadly.

Astrid darted to Stormfly. "Stormfly! Needles!" She stroked her dragon's neck and the nadder calmed down. Spikes extended on her tail, which caught the changewing's attention. The two dragon's roared at each other. Everyone stared at the exchange. The changewing nodded its head and flew off again. "What was that all about?" Astrid stared at the disappearing dragon.


"Here it is!" Goober came out of his store with a book and started flipping pages. "Emeralds...gold...limestone...pearl...quartz...ru by...sapphire...ah-ha! Sodalite!" The viking confidently opened the book and scanned the page. "Sodalite. Says here the only place it's found within a day's travel is Misty Isle, but that be far too dangerous." He looked back at the boys.

Hiccup's eyebrows pulled down low. "Misty Isle? I've never even heard of it."

"No surprise." Gobber closed the book and handed it to Fishlegs. "The island is surrounded by mist and is veryyy dangerous."

"Da...dangerous...?" Fishlegs peered over the edge of the book nervously.

Gobber nodded. "Any ship that comes near is fired at and sunk unless it turns round."

Sliversky shifted her haunches and pounced on to Hiccup's head. He strokes her head. "So, if the place is so dangerous how did she get here?"

Gobber shrugged. "Haven't a clue, Hiccup." Just then, a shadow passed over them and the three males looked up to see a dragon passing overhead. They watched it turn and land heavily in the center of town, sizing them up.

A slender girl slid off the navy night fury. It shook its head and roared, eyes narrowing at the males. Hiccup noticed grey stripes on it's legs and tail, as well as a good part of the end of its wings streaked in grey.

The girl wore a dark green long sleeve shirt with flowing sleeves. She wore an ankle-length loincloth of the same color and underneath wore a fitting, tan long sleeve shirt and pants. The top of the evergreen shirt was lined in blue fur that matched the blue of her shoes. The night fury growled then tugged on one the two blue navy straps that connected her sleeves on both sides. She moved and pressed her forehead to the splash of grey on the night fury's head, mumbling soft words of calm. It whined softly then playfully nipped at the navy, leather strap she had hanging off her matching belt. The girl smiled then pulled back and looked at the boys, man, and dragon staring at her. She put a hand on her hip and regarded them quietly for a moment before she spoke. "So who are you and what are you doing with Dusk's baby?"
