Chapter 10
A Missing Piece Of The Puzzle
"Dad", I began in a slightly nervous voice, "is there a map for this legend?" I pointed with shuddering digits at the book I was reading previously.
My dads attention was swiftly drawn to me in an instant. "Which one?" he asked in a suspicious voice.
I quickly flicked from page to find the text, the sound of the pages being flicked was the only sound you could hear at the moment. Finally I found the page and showed my dad, still a little nervous.
My dad glared into the pages reading the words one bye one.
"If you want to find a map of any kind then I think you should ask Gobber for assistance", my dad said in a reassuring voice.
"Thanks",I replied trying to hide my excitement in my tone of voice, I turned and fled from the room and skittered downstairs, the fire warming me as I passed it. I remerged from the doorway to see Echo was not there, I looked round franticly and then felt a scaly,dry skin touch my arm. Echo had followed me inside and out, his body had somehow squeezed through the narrow doorway after me.
I got onto Echoes back and raised like a fly taking off and swerved and shot through the air towards the village.
I had told my friends to meet me outside the Great Hall so I could talk through the plan. Landing slowly onto the ground and lowered myself off of Echoes back.
"So how did...", asked Fishlegs noticing my smile on my face.
"Where are we going?" questioned Astrid in a unexcited tone.
"Lets pay Gobber a visit" I announced already heading down the hill towards his workshop on the edge of the cliff.
Eventually we arrived and we yelled inside, the man with the golden beard greeted us with his smile containing silver teeth reflecting our explained we needed the map but unfortunately Gobbers response was not what we expected. His reply was " I lost that in a cave on the beach, sorry".
"Ok", I began in a strong voice "lets find that map".
Seconds later we had already mounted our dragons and were riding off into the gloomy orange sun barely able to make out from the approaching black storm creeping closer and closer towards the island!
We need that map to begin our quest to save Berk.
