Sky's blue green eyes looked at each rider in turn. six. a good number,with their dragons. her skirll let out a shrill call and growled, lowering its self ready to attack.
"its ok boy. stand down.." Sky said, putting a hand on the head of her dragon. a small lighting trail went up her arm,and for a minute, her hair floated about her, then she pulled away and her hair fell back down .
"and you are?" she asked, raising an eye brow at the people.
the leader, tall, brown hair and had a nightfurry coughed for a minute then nodded. "I'm Hiccup, these are my friends, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, and Astrid." he pointed to each friend in turn and Sky nodded.
Sky took in each rider in turn. like she had seen their leader was one of the taller ones, with shaggy brown hair, gemstone green eyes, and an armored suit. Sky noted he had a fake foot. she tipped her head a little when she saw it. not trying to be rude to the people that had more dragon power then her. it was just... something she didn't think she would see.
beside the leader, Hiccup, was a young women. she was taller then Sky, and hand middle of the back blond hair in a braid. the woman had baby blue had a spiked skirt, with some armored padding on her shoulders.
the one called Fishlegs was bigger. bigger boned, and the tallest of the riders group. he had blond hair, and what Sky would call a baby face. his eyes where holly was unsure as he got off his little dragon. he was the soft one Sky could tell. he was looking over at Amp with a half fear half worried look.
then there was the twins. Ruff something and Tuff what ever? was it? Sky couldn't really tell then apart at first. she then could tell one was more of a girl but the voice and hair. Ruffnut was the same size as her brother, with long blond hair like him. she had it put in odd lumpy low pigtails, her brother had them in dreadlocks . both had cornflower blue eyes.
the last was the one Hiccup called Snotsometing... he was about Sky's size, maybe a little taller, with black hair, that could pass for dark brown, and electric blue eyes. his helmet had twisted horns on it, and he looked less then happy to be with the riders, or that Sky was still there..
the dragons all moved closer to each other, letting out little growls as they tried to bump noses. Hook fang let out a loud growl, and Amp hissed as the nightmare flared up into flames. the skirll flashed and lighting blasted around him. making him glow.
"Hook fang, chill!" Snotlout half growled half sighed. he was a little red faced.
"Amp! down!" Sky yelled, snapping her fingers. the male dragon just hissed and moved closer, still charged up.
"hey,its ok big guy. .." Sky said, putting a hand to the saddle, the only thing not charged up. the dragon dimed down a little and fang was still blazing strong and growled loudly.
"Hooky. Come on your making us look bad.."Snotlout said in a hissed voice. the dragon looked at him, snorted and growled again. he never did any thing he was told.
but both male dragons still let out hiss's at each other. it was less over a new dragon and more over trying to keep their rider safe,and territory . Hook fang didn't like the idea of another male dragon, one just as head strong as him self, being around.
Sky, slowly moved from Amp's side, and held out a hand. the nightmare hissed at her and eyed the small female up and down. slowly, never taking her eyes of the large flaming hot dragon, the rider bowed and waited. and slowly the dragon dipped his head back.
his flams went out, and a little hiss came from him, as he moved back to his riders side.
"what was that?" the one called Hiccup asked sky with a little raised eye brow look.
"if you show a dragon respect it will show it back." she said coming out of her bow and looking at the other riders.
Sky moved a little closer, slowly. she wanted to get to see them..well some what. as was closer, looking at each one in turn.
"how long have you been...riders?" the group looked to Hiccup.
"uhh...funny story there.."he said with a little smile.
"we forgot. like half the time we don't remember.." a twin said.
"ya, but like you don't remember a lot dude." the other said.
"oh ya..."
"are you alone? like do you fly alone?" the girl..what was it? Astrid, asked. as if on cue there was a raddling sound and another pair of foot steps.
turning, Sky saw her friend come out. her friend was another woman, walking right beside a young Bonenapper. the Napper was black, with her ghost white bone armor.
"what the.." the one called Fishlegs gasped. "ya, I have a friend. riders. meet Tibia and Ella." the riders look at the one called Ella. she was not showing her self well. with a mask, that looked like a humans skull, unlike Skys skull mask that was just a half face style and painted on her helmet this one was a REAL mask, to make the wearer look like they where just a skull.
"uh...Hi?" Fishlegs said with an unsure wave to Ella. who was standing close to her dragon Tibia. the rider said nothing as Sky huffed a little.
"El, your flipping them out.." there was another sigh, this time from Ella.
"your no fun Sky... you know that?" it had a small chuckle at the end as the mask came off. this woman had her hair back in a pony tail, brown locks out of her face, showing her green eyes.
besides her long black cloak with white fur , she had on a long sleeve green shirt, brown belt, brown boots, and pants. it was some what unlike Sky's outfit, witch was a fur shoulder wrap from a light cream colored animal, brown boots with grey fur on them, light brown ish grey leggings or pants, a light brown shirt that was half sleeved, and a light purple grey skirt that was cut at both legs for movement.
"ok, so Ella, T. meet Hiccup, Astrid, Fish...something, twins and Snot nose? if it?"Sky asked rasing an eye brow."i only did just meet you all and can't be blamed for forgetting names..i don't even know the dragon's names.." she told them with a smile as they all held in their laugher.
"Snot nose? got to remember that one!" Fishlegs laughed as Snotlout shot him a hard glare.
I like her!" the girl Twin, Ruffnut said, laughing so hard she fell of her dragon.
"can we keep her? please Hiccup?!" she asked from the ground.
"ya we're walk her, and feed her, and play with her!" Tuffnut said as he too had fallen off his dragon's head.
"guys I don't think Sky, or Ella, wants to live with you two." Astrid said with a little chuckle. Hiccup nodded his head, still laughing a little." she has a point." he told the twins as they picked them self up off the ground and got back on their dragon.
the riders let the dragons all meet each other. Toothless was the first to move closer to Amp. after a little bit, the dragons where soon bobbing their head,and chirping to each other, they ended up racing around the pool of water. Snotlouts dad's dragon lay in the shade watching . her foot was still hurt.
the riders all sat down on the rocks a little way away from the pool and talked, some what watching the dragons.
"so we two have been flying with the thunder storm?" Hiccup asked, looking over at Sky and Ella when they told a little on them selves.
"Well duh. I mean I ride a skirll , ya Amp can fly out side storms but he powers up better in them." Sky told the group of riders.
"but how did you find a skirll? the last one we had to fight was really hard to get close to." Fishlegs asked, eyes wide.
"ya and what about that bone dragon? is she friendly? can I ride her?" Tuffnut asked, looking with wide eyes at Tibia. the female dragon snorted and growled a little when she felt eyes on her.
Sky looked over at Amp. a little smile creeping up her lips."i didn't find Amp. he found me. some years ago, I worked for some...people...and they had some dragons. where i'm from, yes we have dragons too. but any ways, they got in a new dragon, and it was a wild skirll. Amp's young, see how his nose spike doesn't' cruel back yet? and he doesn't have any chine spikes? young."
"but any ways, they got this new dragon in, and after a time, I had to go cheek on him. another dragon had ripped into him rather good, that's why he has scars and three snapped tail spikes. but I helped him heal.
it was slow at first, but we slowly became friends. them one day, he helped me get out. I don't wanna go into boring details with you guys. after that we ran into these two and started going from island to island. " Sky smiled a little. sure she left out a tone of things. but this group of riders didn't need to know her past.
"and what about you?" Astrid looked to Ella. "if its all the same. I would rather not say.." Ella said in a little voice. she was shy, by thor's hammer not even Sky knew about her past.
Hiccup nodded and smiled a little."hey its ok. we don't need to know every thing."
the group sat and talked for a little longer. "hey it is getting a little late Hiccup. don't you think we should go back to the village?" Fishlegs as looking unsurely up at the sky. the sun was starting to creep slowly away, from noon, to later. the air was cooler to.
"ya, I know your right. we should get going." Hiccup got up, the other riders sighed and did the same, calling the dragons away from the pond to mount up and get ready.
they would help the female dragon with her hurt leg fly back to the village, along with the other three they had found.
Hiccup had jumped onto Toothless and looked back at the new riders."you guys..wanna come along? it can get kind of lonely out here. even with a friend. you could stay back at the village with us. we have lots of room." Sky looked to her dragon and friends.
she didn't know. they did just meet them, and well besides landing onto the island the riders called home, they could just attack them now. Sky was out numbered by far with her friend and two dragons.
"alright..we can go with you.." she nodded and hey made quick work of their camp. the ride home was easy. moving the lost dragons along, and making sure the hurt one didn't land wrong when they came into the village.
Sky had only seen it once, in the thunder storm when she was riding Amp over it, playing in the lighting. it looked Kind of nice down there. with its dragons, and villagers. as they landed, the dragons with out riders moved off. The hurt female was given over to a man with a hook for a hand and one leg. he looked over at the new riders, who had their mask off.
Hiccup shook his head and the man walked off to take care of the hurt dragons leg.
"come on. we can show you around if you want?" Hiccup said, with a half lop sided smile. they nodded and Sky watched as the dragons let their riders off. she her self got off her own dragon, Amp let out a loud purr as his rider put a hand on his muzzle.
Ella didn't really want to get off, but found her self getting off the dragon she had any ways. the group showed the new comers around, to the feeding zones, the sky race track, so to say, where the twins chuckled and said they where starting up dragon races.
it all sounded cool. the great hall was their next stop. where the dragons could come into the hall in side the was kind of cold, with no big fires going. the walls had hangs off art work. warriors of long ago, and some from now. dragons, warriors the colors.
Sky looked at it all, and a half smile came to her face. it kind of looked like the hall at her old home. there was a loud shot, that made her jump, and Amp flare up into lighting , and she looked to see a very big man, with red hair and bread walking to them.
"Hiccup, who are your friends?" he asked, looking at Sky,Amp,Ella,and Tibia . Sky put a hand out to stop Amp from growling and hushed him.
"hi..I'm Sky. this is Amp." she said nodding. the way the man acted you would know he was their leader.
"I'm Ella and this is Tibia." the man nodded.
"Hiccup, its nice your bringing home friends, but you really have to get ready with the others.."
Hiccup sighed, and ever one watched him."I know dad, I know. I was just looking for some lost dragons when we found these guys. I mean, how can you not stop with a skirll and a bonenapper around?" the taller man nodded and let out a deep chuckle
"well yes I can see that. I mean, a skirll did just light its self up in lighting. and the Napper is something Gobber was amazed by."
every one kind of just nodded along.
"but go get ready. race day in the morning." and with that he walked away.
"you guys have a race coming up?" Sky asked eyeing them.
"ya. you wanna join in? I mean I do need more peoples butts to kick." Snotlout said puffing out his chest.
"not this time. I like to sit back and watch fist. then slash my way in and win. besides, I don't wanna hurt your nightmare.." Ella chuckled at Sky tone of voice.
every one kind of did to. the girls where then shown to their place. they would have their own house, for now.
Sky looked out the window, with Amp by her side. the storm was moving away and her dragon whined a little.
"its ok Amp. We're get it.. we wont let it get away from us this time.. "
