Disclaimer: I do NOT own How to Train Your Dragon (2), only my OC's
It was early morning in the island, which has yet been given a name, of the Halflings.
The members of the 7 tribes were either sleeping or awake. Some of the adult halflings in the Fiery Attackers were hunting for food for their young. The Ocean Dweller members were swimming around in thee ocean while on land, the Sharp Shooters were practicing their aim on some trees in their area. Somewhere in the forest, the Unknowns were teaching some of their young to use their abilities. In the caves and underground, the Rock Eaters were sleeping soundly. High up in the mountains, some members of the Lightning Strikers tribe were resting, while the others were out patrolling the island.
Outside on a cliff was the youngest member of the Lightning Strikers, 16-year-old Ayla. She had long brown hair that reached up to her shoulders and green eyes. Ayla wore a black tunic, some brown leather pants, and a necklace that had a symbol of a Night Fury.
Ayla was sitting on the edge of the cliff, looking around the island, spotting some of the Sharp Shooters in the forest. She smiled at the view of her home and closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. Suddenly, a pair of black wings, similar to a Night Fury's, and a black tail appeared as well as some black ear plates on the top of her head. When she opened her eyes, they revealed that they were no longer human, they were dragon-like. Ayla crouched down, opening her wings as she got ready to fly off. But, a voice behind her stopped Ayla from even moving an inch.
"Morning Ayla." The voice greeted in a tired tone.
Said girl turned around quickly, facing the person who was speaking to her. "Oh, um, hey Dad." She greeted back and chuckled nervously, quickly closing her wings.
"Where are you off to this time?" Ayla's dad, Vidarr, asked as he made his way over to his daughter with an eyebrow raised.
"I was, uh, just going to fly to the forest to, uh, see a friend from one of the other tribes." Ayla explained.
Vidarr looked at his daughter with his eyes narrowed, debating whether he should let her fly off or stay at home.
Ayla just looked down at the ground, avoiding any eye contact from her father.
"Hm...ok, but you have to come back when the sun has reached its highest point." Vidarr told Ayla.
"Ok! I will!" Ayla exclaimed and opened her wings again.
"Wait." Vidarr said.
Ayla sighed, her ear flaps becoming flat against her head and her eye dilated into slits in annoyance as she turned around. "What is it?" She asked.
"I just wanted to tell you that if you see any wingless' anywhere near the island, let me know as soon as you see them. Please don't encounter any of them, I don't want you to get hurt." Vidarr said, knowing what his daughter would do.
"Alright, I won't encounter any of them." Ayla said as her ear flaps perked up and eyes becoming round, showing that she was happy.
"Love you" Vidarr said with a smile.
"Love you to Dad" Ayla told him and smiled before opening her wings and flying off to her destination.
"When will she ever stay still?" Vidarr asked himself and headed back into his cave.
Ayla was flying around happily around the island. After moments of flying in the air, Ayla landed in the Sharp Shooters camp. She closed her wings, not wanting to cause any trouble within the camp and headed towards said area. Ayla wandered aimlessly through the camp, looking around for her friend. As she was walking, she spotted a familiar person and smiled, running towards the figure. When she was a few inches from the person, she tried to stop herself but couldn't do it in time. Ayla ended up crashing into her friend, sending both of them to the ground.
"Hey!" Ayla's friend exclaimed in an angry tone.
"Um, Hey Sig." Ayla said quietly and stood up, followed by Sigrid.
Sigrid was a 18-year-old Halfling that belonged in the Sharp Shooters tribe. She has dark brown hair that was tied in a sleek ponytail and tawny colored eyes, which are set a little bit far apart. Her nose is slightly ridged and she had some webbing that starts at her shoulders and end above her wrists. Some of her scales can be seen, but she usually hides them under a sleeveless brown shirt, a blue skirt, and a pair of canvas pants. Sigrid wears feet wrappings that end at her toes, revealing some scales. Around her neck, she wears a necklace that has a symbol of a Hackatoo. Her wings can be seen on her back.
"Well, look who it is..." Sigrid said to no one in general and rolled her eyes.
"Aw, come on Sig, you know you were happy to see me!" Ayla told her friend.
"Yeah and I'm jumping up and down in happiness" Sigrid said sarcastically and rolled her eyes again.
"Whatever, so how's it going?" Ayla asked with a smile, ignoring her friend's sarcastic comment.
"Oh you know, good I guess." Sigrid answered, walking away.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Ayla asked, running after her moody friend.
"I'm going to the forest." Sigrid answered, continuing to walk towards the forest.
"May I come?" Ayla asked, now caught up with Sigrid.
"I guess." Sigrid answered with a sigh, she liked having Ayla as a friend, but sometimes she could be a little bit annoying.
The two Halflings headed towards the forest. Sigrid was just walking and looking around the area, trying to find a place for them to hang out at while Ayla was babbling about something that she had found at the edge of the island.
I hope you all have enjoyed the chapter! I also thought that the people of each tribe should have a necklace or something that has a symbol of what their dragon counterpart is. Anyway, I'm finally on Winter Break! (Yay!) That means that I'll probably be updating this a lot (if you guys don't mind). Oh and I still need a few more OC's. If you have an idea for a OC, Halfling or Human, that you want in the story let me know! I'll be happy to check it out. Until next time, ride on dragon riders!
