Chapter 4 (if the message counted as one)

"So." Valkyrie said, flinging the remains of her rabbit into a bush where a lone changewing attacked it.

"So." Flame replied, chewing on a bone.

"What do we do now?"

"Find a village."

"Really? Just like that? No, like, monsters or anything to fight? Are you even sure there's any villages around here?"

"Sorry, let me rephrase that. We have to find the village."

"Does this village have a name?"

"No. But the island does."

"Wait, this is an island?"

"Yes, this is an island. Good work for noticing."

"I sometimes think you're worse than Skulduggery."

"Well, other people usually don't say anything like that to me around here."

"Why?"

"No idea."

Valkyrie raised an eyebrow.

"I swear!" Flame said, raising her arms in defense.

"Okay, what about the dragons?"

"Dragons and dragons usually mix well."

"Right, but there's one behind you that looks like it'll... um..."

"Kill me?"

"Exactly. It's probably a rebel."

"What colour is it?"

"Black."

"Just black?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Run."

"What?"

"Don't question me right now we really have to run."

The humans were chatting away, unaware that I was watching them. I had a feeling my master would want to talk to them, being the pride, joy and chief of the village. For some reason my memories were mixing with dreams, and I was imagining that I had seen the older one with a pair of wings, dragon ones. Ones that were tiger-striped, like Flame's. But they couldn't be Flame's. No one in the village had seen Flame since last year, after Hiccup became chief and I became the alpha.

My thoughts wandered and I started looking distant, and snarling absentmindedly as I remembered the ups and downs of last year. I didn't realise the humans thought it was directed at them until the young one said "Right, but there's one behind you that looks like it'll... um..."

"Kill me?" The older of the two said.

I zoned out for a few seconds and was awoken by the humans who had started sprinting away into the trees.

Filled with the thrill of the hunt, I followed, grabbing Hiccup around the waist as he burst through the trees to my left.

Hiccup was stunned, and couldn't get into his saddle, but that was fine as I didn't need to fly. Flying's overrated in a chase.

"TOOTHLESS!"

Oh gods. Hiccup didn't sound too happy.

I stopped and dug my heels into the ground, kicking up dirt. I also forgot that Hiccup wasn't in his saddle, and he went flying over my head and into a holly bush (of all the bushes it could've been), his limbs sprawled.

I whimpered sympathetically, and looked up after my hunt. I thought they'd have bolted. They were standing right in front of me.

And I was wrong.

The older one didn't just have wings.

She was a dragon.

So, chapter four.

I think I'm doing well.

I think.

Nothing really to address.

And yeah, half of that was through Toothless' eyes.
