A year after we found Sharptooth… The seas around Berk are dangerously devastating during the winter, and shipwrecks are not unknown to us. However, since the 'Heather' incident, shipwrecks put us on edge… My name is Hiccup, and welcome to another adventure with the dragon riders and I.

"Ugh…" said Stoick the Vast, my dad, as he closed the door to our home, "It's freezing out there…" He turned towards me, "Put some more logs in the fire son," I nodded and obliged, "It's cold out there, eh, dad?" I asked. He nodded and sighed, "And MassiveHog the Porkbelly wanted to marry BigThigh of the Big Thighs today, out of all the days they wanted to have their wedding, it was TODAY," I laughed. My dad sipped his mead, "Better get to bed, son," I nodded and patted Toothless, "Come on, bud, let's get some sleep," Toothless gurgled and agreed hurriedly. I collapsed onto my bed, but it took me long to sleep, the storm was incredibly loud.

I woke up, to find my dad standing above me.

"Hey dad, what's up?" I asked.

"Sentry say they saw a ship crash into the sea stacks and into one of the little islands near Berk," he said, "Could you do me a favour and get down there on Toothless and sort it out? I'm too tired to do anything today,"

I yawned then nodded. I called for Toothless, who had been awake most of the night, trying to keep the noise out of his ears with his wings. We went outside, and it was surprisingly warm, but unsurprisingly wet. The other dragon riders landed next to me.

"Hey, Hiccup," said Astrid, "A shipwreck, south of the island,"

Fishlegs spoke up, "What happens if, you know, the 'Heather incident?"

I shrugged, "Who knows, we'll just have to find out," We jumped onto our dragons and flew to the shipwreck.

When we got there, we saw the wreckage. It wasn't too bad, so I crawled through a hole and yelled to see if there was anyone. A young man came out, maybe 19-20 years old. Ruffnut's mouth fell open so wide, Astrid had to close it for her.

"Er, hello!" The man said, "Name's Burp,"

"My name's-"I started, before Ruffnut butted in, "And I'm Ruffnut, write me!" I pushed her out the way, "Er, sorry," I apologized, "I'm Hiccup, this is Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Tuffnut and… Er, well, you know, Ruffnut," Ruffnut jumped up and shouted, "Me!" Tuffnut put a hand on top of her helmet, then pushed it down. Then the twins started a brawl with each other. Astrid turned around and sighed.

I turned towards Burp and said, "Hop on, we'll take you to the village,"

Only then did Burp notice the dragons anhd yelled, "Thor Almighty! Watch out, DRAGONS!" He drew his sword.

"Woah, WOAH!" I shouted, "It's fine, we made peace,"

Burp stumbled back and then spoke, "Made peace?!" He laughed, "Haha, I MUST be dead!"

"Nope," said Snotlout, and he punched Burp on the arm, "Not dead,"

Burp returned the punch, knocking Snotlout unconscious. Snotlout then woke up and yelled, "Wha- Wha- Where am I?"

Burp walked forward, fearful but soon sat on Sharptooth (a night fury we found, believe it or not) who buckled him of instantly.

"Woah, you have TWO night furies? They DO exist!" exclaimed Burp.

"This is Sharptooth," I said, who was growling at the stranger, "He and my dragon, Toothless, maybe the last night furies, ever,"

Burp nodded, "That's sad,"

He attempted to try and sit on Sharptooth who again, buckled him off, and then bared his fangs.

"WOAH!" I shouted, I tried to calm Sharptooth down, "It's OK, Sharp, it's fine, just let him on, OK?"

Sharptooth growled, then calmed down and let Burp on. He made sure, as we were flying, to fly as rough as he could, including diving into the sea and back out.

When we got back, Burp was soaking, and when we landed, he instantly fell off and vomited all over the grass.

"Eugh," we all said in unison. Even Ruffnut perked her eyes up at the sight.

Burp got up shakily and smiled pathetically, "I-I'm O-OK," before collapsing.

"Wah, wha-wha-whats-going-on?!" said Burp as Tuffnut unloaded a bucket of freezing cold water onto his head.

"HEY!" yelled Tuffnut, "CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Astrid decided to wack Tuff on the head.

As Tuffnut shouted in agony, I showed Burp around the Academy, but what made me uncomfortable was that Sharptooth was growling something to Toothless, and once he finished, Toothless' ears went up, his eyes widened, and then his eyes sharpened. Night furies eyes only sharpened when they thought they were being threatened, like a cat. Toothless crouched and hissed whenever Burp got near, causing him to back of, "What's up with them?" he asked. I shrugged and told him I didn't know. As he walked forward, I looked at Toothless, who growled, then looked at Burp, and growled louder then looked back at me. His face had an obvious: I don't trust this guy look, but I thought it was because the last shipwreck turned out to be an Outcast. I told Toothless that everything was alright, although I was suspicious of Burp, I thought off it as nothing.

The next day I was awoken by my dad again, "Hiccup, someone's broken in!" I rushed downstairs to see the door broken, and so was the furniture. I walked back to my room and saw the shelf I kept the Book of Dragons was gone! I couldn't believe it. I ran towards the other dragon riders who also had their houses broken into. I ran towards them and shouted, "Guys, the Book and Dragons has been stolen!" Then I saw Gobber wobbling towards us. Gobber let Burp stay at his place for the night.

"Hiccup, Burp's GONE!" he told me.

We jumped onto our dragons and got my dad to get a search done across the island.

A few hours later, my dad ran towards me, "Hiccup, one of our fastest boats is missing, BadsBreath couldn't find it when he was counting the boats!"

I turned towards the other dragon riders, "This is SO much like the Heather incident!" said Fishlegs.

"Well then, gang," I said, "Next stop… Outcast Island,"

We flew to Outcast Island, and sure enough, there was the missing boat at the harbor, and Burp was talking to Savage a few meters away. He was passing the Book of Dragons to Savage. On Burp's arm, there was a tattoo of the Outcast crest. After Savage flicked through the boat, he laughed, and handed Burp a sack. Burp put his hands into the sack a produced some gold coins. Then they shook hands and Burp walked with Savage into town. We silently landed onto Outcast land, were Sharptooth growled threateningly , and I whispered, "Sharptooth was right, Burp wasn't good after all, Alvin must have told Burp about the Book of Dragons!"

"So what are we going to do?" asked Astrid.

Sharptooth perked up and grunted.

"Let's show them a bit of night fury!" I said, "Sharptooth, follow us,"

Toothless and I shot down and shot at the feet of Burp, who jumped up in surprise, then grabbed the crossbow of the nearest Outcast and fired, narrowly missing me. Sharptooth jumped down with a shriek and blasted the crossbow out of Burp's hands. He then sent a of volley of six shots at the Outcast. He knocked Savage down with his tail, caught the book with his mouth then flew up to me and threw me the book.

"Yeah!" I yelled as we flew away. Then Burp scrambled up to his feet, grabbed the crossbow and shot it at Toothless, it missed and flew into the shoulder of Sharptooth, who screeched and plummeted down onto the ground in front of Astrid, who gasped.

"Sharptooth!" I yelled. I turned to Burp and fired a plasma blast. It sent him flying into other soliders, knocking them down. He got up in a daze, before collapsing unconscious. I flew down to Sharptooth. I studied his wound. The arrow seared a large cut in his shoulder, and the dragon was in agony. I quickly made a makeshift dragon-stretcher with materials I found in my satchel. We got each dragon to hold on to the stretcher, and lifted the poor dragon back to Berk.

When we got back, Sharptooth's eyes were closed. Toothless nuzzled him gently, and he opened his eyes weakly. Gothi came down from her house and looked at Sharptooth. She poured a mixture over Sharptooth's wound to relieve him of some pain. Then she used her staff to communicate by drawing pictures into the sand.

"He will survive as long as I can make a medicine that will fix the," Fishlegs translated, "Poison?"

Gothi pointed at the tip of the arrow, which had been dipped in poison. She carried on writing, "The medicine's ingredients aren't on Berk, however, they are on Deadland Island…" Fishlegs' face froze with fear. Deadland Island? It was full of dead grass, dead trees, you name it. It was rumoured to be inhabited by cannibal dragons. I looked up, "We HAVE to save Sharptooth, no matter what," I turned to Gothi, "How long does Sharptooth have till… You know," Gothi looked at the poison tip, then wrote in the sand.

Fishlegs looked at the drawings, and said, "The poison is deadly, and is fatal. It can be cured. Sharptooth has 10 days before he…" Fishleg's gulped.

I looked at the gang, who had devastated looks. Then I stood up, "Guys, WE are going to save Sharptooth, let's get ready," I looked at Gothi, "We'll go to Deadland Island, be ready for when we come back,"

Fishlegs gulped again, "If we ever come back,"

I put a determined face on, "We have to go back," then turned back to my friends, "We will be back…"
