here it is the second chapter of second chances I hope you enjoy.

Astrid's P.O.V: "wish me luck." I told Phoenix as I went to the starting line with the other riders, Gobber soon came in a few seconds later holding a pot of paint "Uh, gobber what are these for?" Fishlegs asked "war paint, I thought it would make you guys seem more intimidating." he said handing us the paint, all of a sudden we heard a splat sound and the twins fighting, their faces covered in a mix of yellow and black, I wanted to ask what had happened, but if the twins are involved it's best not to ask. After we and our dragons had been painted we went to the starting lines "Hey has anyone seen Hiccup?" I asked "no I don't even know why they have a night fury slot, I mean he never participates in the races anyway." Snotlout said, we heard Stoick start to speak which meant the race was about to start.

Phoenix's P.O.V: "And I wish the racers good luck!" the chief said, the crowd cheered as the racers took their places on the starting lines "On YOUR MARK" Gobber yelled "GET SET." "GO!", and the racers were off, Astrid was the first onr to get a sheep into her slot, after ten minutes the twins had nine points, snotlout had two, fishlegs had one, there were at least five more sheep to get before the black sheep, and that's when I decided to join in, I excused myself, and went to the cliffs letting out a long sharp whistle, lightningwing landed next to me "lets get ready to dominate bud." I said to him, and he let out a growl, I put my hood up and got on his back, we took off at breackneck speed, ruff and tuff were fighting over a sheep so I flew in between the two heads and took the sheep "who the heck is that!?" Gobber said, just as I got my second sheep into my (Hiccup's slot) slot, soon a horn sounded "all right the black sheep! come on stormfly we can still win this thing." I heard Astrid talking to her nadder, I watched as she tried reaching for the sheep but fishlegs intercepted stormfly, and they were racing towards the finish line "Oh no, you don't!" I yelled and caught the sheep just before it fell into the net, and tossed into mine which totaled for 14 points "THE MYSTRIOUS STRANGER TAKES THE GAME!" Stoick boomed I landed on the winners platform to recieve my prize "congradulations, stranger that was some mighty impressive flying, what Dragon were you using?" Fishlegs asked me, I stepped aside to show lightningwing, a number of gasps, and whisperes resounded throughout the plaza "A night fury? Who are you." Fishlegs said, I looked at lightningwing and he just shrugged, I put my hood down, "Phoenix?," half the village asked in disbelief, then heard Astrid enraged voice "PHOENIX!" she said charging me with axe in hand, "run!" everyone yelled "don't need to tell me twice" I said to them, and ran as if loki was at my heels.

Hiccup's P.O.V: I landed in the town square, and I saw Astrid, trying to kill her brother with an axe "Hiccup help me! she's mad I tell you mad!" he said hiding behind toothless "whoa Astrid, calm down. What happened?" I asked her "that so called brother of mine cheated in the dragon race today, and won!" "with a Nig- Nadder nonetheless." at the end it almost sounded like she said night fury "Hmm, thats very bad indeed, well then have at him." I said and toothless ran next to me leaving Kurt out in the open "what?! Some friend you are!" he yelled as he ran to the docks, all of a sudden I heard Astrid yell "what the heck!" I turned around, and her legs were frozen solid in ice, and phoenix had a staff, the top was shining "you're a wizard?" Snotlout asked who was watching the scene play out. "well I was going to tell you guys later but I guess the gods had other plans." He said "now have you guys ever heard of the G.M.A.D?" he asked "Yeah they've helped us a couple times." I told them "well I'm part of that group, I've been sent here because something goes wrong here, Night dosen't know what it is but she can feel it, and I've also been sent here to stop." phoenix said "so then who are you really?" Astrid asked "and can you I don't know unfreeze my legs." she said "sorry." phoenix replied and the ice vanished, "and as for who I am, I'm Phoenixthefirebird, superior sorcerer, guardian of the night, rider of the night fury, lightningwing." he said bowing down "so you're an actual sorcerer?" Tuff asked "yes but my abilities come with a catch: every spell I cast, drains my energy, minor spells don't take as much energy, major spells now that's a different story in itself." he said leaning on his staff for support, I had seen him waver a little when he took away the ice from Astrid's legs "what does lightningwing look like?" I asked, Phoenix let out a long sharp whistle and a jet black night fury, with a hue of purple, landed next to him, toothless sniffed him, and then jumped up and down in excitment, they started talking to each other. "so anyway find anything interesting on your flight?" Astrid asked "no well not anything out of the ordinary." I told her ", the horn soon sounded for dinner at the great hall "So yeah I'll be going now..." phoenix said trying to get away from an angry Astrid, but she was alot faster then he was,and she nabbed him by his cape "I'm not done with you not by a long shot, come on squirt." she said dragging hims to the great hall, Phoenix had an expression that read 'help me!', we all put our heads down to honor the death of a good man "really? guys." he said before he dissappeared behind a corner. "there goes a brave man." I said, and everyone nodded, after a few seconds of silence we all went to the great hall to eat.
