Lura's POV
It was a long journey from our island home of Dalstad, about 3 months by ship. But, we had to come, my cousin Hiccup was getting married. Even though I couldn't recall ever meeting him. I've never even wondered about my family's other half. I'd met my aunt Valka once, when I was a babe, but that was before she was eaten by a dragon. Apparently, though, she's still alive. Stories say she killed that dragon and found her way back home, after twenty years.
It was dark when we first arrived. We had just gotten off of the boat, when we ran into a young man, about my age. And Odin, was he amazing. He had bright blue eyes and blond hair falling past his shoulders in thick locks. He had a rugged look to him, and was rather tall and thin. But all of that was just so attractive to me. I couldn't even find the words. Especially when I noticed him looking at me.
It was the cutest thing when the boy, named Tuffnut, bowed and looked at me, like the bow was FOR me. I didn't mean to giggle, but it made him smile, so I was happy.
After we headed up to the Great Hall, I looked for him but he had vanished! I had to see him again. Right after that, Aunt Valka announced our arrival and introduced us to the dragon riders, as she said. I was confused. Dragon riders?
"This, of course, is Hiccup, my son, and Astrid, his new bride." Both of them nodded and said "Hi, welcome to Berk," or something of the sort. "Over there are Fishlegs and Heather, Ruffnut and Snotlout, and, well, Tuffnut was here just a minute ago. Oh well, probably off causing a ruckus somewhere." Everyone laughed.
"Yeah, if you see a large fire, you've probably found him," The large boy named Fishlegs blurted, causing everyone to burst out laughing again.
Why, was this boy known for being destructive? Sounds like my kind of viking. I smiled.
"Did you say you were dragon riders?" My father asked.
Hiccup stepped forward, offering a response. "Yes, here on Berk, we don't kill dragons, we ride them." He smiled. "It all started when I found Toothless." Just as he said that, a large black mass pounced into the spotlight.
"Is that, a Night Fury?" My father asked.
"Yup," he replied, stroking the toothless dragon on the nose.
They continued talking about dragons and Aunt Valka's adventures with over the past twenty years, but my mind kept drifting off to that boy from earlier. And I realized, he rides dragons. Oh Thor, I had to see him again.
Well, I was lucky, because I ended up seeing him again that night.
"Where are you staying tonight?" Aunt Valka asked.
"Well, we hadn't really had that planned. We could always stay on the ship," said my father.
"No, we'll find somewhere for you tonight."
They were discussing places to stay. Hiccup and Astrid were to enjoy their first night as a married pair together tonight, Snotlout's house was full, Fishlegs had no room because of his Gronckle, which made sanse, the mighty beasts. But Ruffnut offered her place. While at first Hiccup hesitated, and suggested we just stay with him, Valka talked him into letting us stay with the twins.
So, after the big celebration, we headed down to the Nut-House. That's what everyone had been calling it, very suiting, they said. Ruffnut walked in first calling out "Tuuufff, get your butt out here!"
"Whaaat," He groaned. I saw a figure starting to head in our direction as it said "Can you not see I'm slee-" Then, once the handsome figure spotted me, he just stopped. "I'm awake, totally awake, completely and utterly awake. Can you not see that I'm awake, Ruffnut?"
