Chapter 4: The Introductions

As i wake up, forgeting my dream, i see that light is pouring in through the door frame cracks. Testing my ability to walk again, i put the fur blankets that covered me on the back of the chair, leaning my legs over the chair, prepairing to stand again. Sitting up on my legs, I get light headed, and put my arms out, trying not to fall. Fighting against the dizyness, I close my eyes, focusing on just standing. As my mind clears, i open my eyes again, freely standing. I chuckle as i can stand again. Deciding to test my limits i take a step, landing it propperly as i stumble.

Walking around the downstairs living area, I don't notice Hiccup come down from the upstairs. He is wearing a different outfit entirely from yester day. Today he was wearing a bulky set of what looked like armour, made of leather. On his chest there was a buckle, that probably held his entire chest piece on. His leggings were also made of what looked like some soft, sewn cloth.

"Hey, you can walk again." he says, nearly scaring me enough to fall over. "feel like you can meet the village, let them know you're not dead?"

"yeah," i chuckle, "nice outfit, bye the way." I say as i point at his armour.

"Hey, if you fly, your going to be wanting one of these." he says as he points towards his armour.

"yeah, ok." i say as i head towards the door. "And when you said, 'if you fly,' what did you mean?" I get my answer as i open the door.

Outside the door, I can immediately see dragons of many shapes, and sizes. Too start off the list, there was a large one, with long, sharp spines down it's back, claws on its wings that, at the time were used for walking to a well, that was filled with fish. The next one i saw was relatively small, with big green eyes, watching everything. It's wings were small, compaired to the other reptiles. It walked on four legs, wings tucked on its back snuggly. The next dragon i saw was very large, larger than the first one by far. Rearing up it easilt stood over toothless from head to tail. It's wings were folded half way, used for support as it stood at a near by house, looking over everything. As it saw me it's eyes narrowed, only to what i would say, flash a half smile at me.

As it looks at two of the small dragons fighting over a fish. As it looked at the dragons they both stopped fighting, looking stare at each other for a few seconds. The smaller dragons looking at each other again. The one to the left of the fish bites the fish near in half, taking the smaller half for itself, giving the bigger half to the other.

"ok, that is something amazing." I say as another dragon comes into view. It looks familiar, like I've seen it before. It had a large head, with spikes sticking off the skull. The coloring was a combination of blue and yellow scales. With it's big eyes looking at me, I decide to stand there as it stares at me. it decided to walk towards me, getting out of the way, I see it was looking at hiccup.

"hey there, Stormfly." he looks at the dragons, now know as Stormfly's, back. "where's Astrid, girl?" He asks as Stormfly looks up.

"here I am." says a female voice, from above hiccup. The next thing I knew there was someone jumping off the roof, and landing on hiccup. As she sits next to him, laughing "you ok, babe?" getting off of Hiccup a fin popping out of his back as she gets off.

"yeah, I need to recalibrate the springs real fast" as he spins a small rotary wheel on his chest, retracting the fin. "glad you didn't break it, these parts are hard to make." he says as the fin clicks into place on his back.

"who's this?" she asks as she looks at me.

"this is Griffo, he was the one that was brought in, a few days ago."

"oh," she said as she looked at me, "Griffo?"

"hey, it's the best I could come up with at the time, ok?" I say as I can feel my face going red a little red.

"wait, you came up with that name?" asking me, having a worried look on her very familiar face.

"yeah. Is it a good name?" I as, hoping that I did pick a good name.

"you, don't know your name? do you know where you're from?"

"no, honestly. I don't know anything about myself." I say as I look back and forth between Hiccup and Astrid.

As Hiccup looks at Astrid, he says "he's also been out of it for three days.

"wow, I can't imagine how you must feel." She says looking to me again.

"I don't know what you mean by that, and if you think it could be sad, please, don't say it." I say as a small dragon runs under Stormfly, scaring her slightly.

As Stormfly flaps her wings, and the spikes on her tail raise Astrid runs over to her, "easy, Stormfly. Calm down, girl." she says to her dragon, as the spikes smooth out, and her wings stop flapping. "good girl, now don't let the terrors scare you again, ok?"

"terrors? That's what the small ones are called?" As I see the two that were fighting over a fish now walking away, seeming to now not care that they just fought for a fish.

"well, 'terrible terrors' technically, but now they're really a nuisance more than a terror." said Astrid, as she walked back to hiccups side.

I chuckle lightly, "well, there seem to be a lot of them," I say as one glides overhead, heading to a water trough.

"they are one of the most abundant, here. Toothless, is however, quite the opposite." said Hiccup as he turned around, toothless coming out of the front door.

"ouch, that isn't good." I say as I have a look of sorrow for the black dragon. Suddenly, almost without reason, I remember the trees that were cut down, when I was lost in the forest. "Wait, would there be a dragon that could cut down trees, say, in a forest near here?" I ask.

Hiccup responds quickly with "Yes, they're called 'Timberjacks' they have one of the largest wingspans, the largest I remember was over forty feet."

"ok, because when I tried to get my bearings I saw an area of trees about that wide cut down."

"ok, there are about two or three flying in this area." said Hiccup, looking behind me, "Guess you'll meet the rest of the dragon riders."

As he said so I turn around to what he was looking at. I see a group of five people walking towards us. One of them was, what looked like hiccups age. He had thick arms, small legs, night black hair, and a mean look. Another was a large boy, almost as large as a full grown man, here. Two looked like twins, both with long blonde hair, and the same confused look. The last one was a full grown man, but he was not as large as the other men in this village, he had markings on his chin that looked like a mirror image, a solid strip in the middle, two "L's" on the sides, and small boxes filling in the "L's," he was also more muscular than the other adults.

As he stuck out his hand he said "Hello, I'm Eret, son of Eret."
