The next day was complete chaos.

Some people, mostly the males, wanted our Chief to go after the Dragon Rider, but the most females wanted to stay and rebuilt the village first.

I didn't care and I was no part of the Vikings who had to rebuilt the village.

So that was the main reason I went into the forest with only a notebook, a pensil and a dagger on my belt.

The forest was amazingly green this time of year.

Anyone who wasn't familliar with this forest could be lost 'cause almost every tree is the same.

Oh, now I remember, I would talk to you about the other teens in my village. There are 6 teens beside me.

First up, my brother Allan. He's 16, his hair is just as blonde as mine but his ice blue eyes are a lot colder then mine. He always wears a solid ice blue top with spiky iron sholderblades, a red sleeveless vest, black pants and a belt of skulls. His boots are made of brown yak fur. Just as me, he wears a brown band around her head and white wrappings around his underarms.
My outfit looks like his, but I have a greenish-blue stipped top, no shoulderblades or a belt of metal skulls and my pants are dark blue plus I wear a red stripped skirt and no vest. The rest is much of the same.

Second one, Fishlegs Ingerman. He's a bit of a nerd, he knows the Dragon Manual out of his head. Well, it's proof he has actual brains and that he uses it. Fishlegs is around 17 years old, has sea blue eyes and short blonde hair. He wears a big brown bear skin shirt with dark coloured pants and brown boots made of yak fur.
Fishlegs is really the only one who accepts me as who I am without ignoring me. So I help him sometimes with discovering the secrets of dragons.

Third up, are the Thorston twins Ruffnut (girl) and Tuffnut (boy). They're both 17, have both long blonde hair (Ruff wears it in 3 braids and Tuff wears it loose) and both have stone grey eyes. Their clothes are very different.
Tuffnut wears darkish grey tunics with a black belt and a long black vest, which is just as long as his tunics. His pants are black and his boots are also brown and made of yak fur. He has light green wrappings around his underarms reaching till his wrists.
Ruffnut wears the same colour of tunics, but her coat is light green and just reaches over her breast. her pants are also black and her boots are exactly the same as her brother's. But unlike him, the wrappings around her underarms are black and cover a part of her hands too.
The twins are both pretty stupid and fight all the time, only agreeing if I blow something up again.

Fourth up, is Heather Jorgenson, she's 18, has long wavy black hair in a braid to the left side of her head and her eyes are dark brown. She wears long dark brown tunics with long light brown sleeves, dark brown pants and dark brown yak fur boots.
She has that Viking roughness I really don't have, the reason I'll never be able to kill a dragon. And by the way, I think Heather is a bit of a bitch.
Oh, and she has a big crush on my brother. I almost forgot to mention that.
(Think about Heather from Dragons television series.)

The last one is Heather's younger brother Snotlout, he's 17 too. His black hair is short and his eyes are dark brown too. He Always wears a green shirt with a black coat over it, dark grey coloured pants and black yak fur boots. He has wristbands covering his underarms.
Snotlout is in a few words said a 'true' Viking man, he has the beefy arms, the guts and the glory, and of course the straight to kill a dragon.
Oh, and he has a crush on my younger sister Ayla.

Enough about them.

I look around and I see I've walken very far into the forest.

"Must be almost noon." I guess by the stand of the sun.

Then I heard a sudden roar.

I hided myself behind a tree and looked the way the roar came from.

There was a dragon.

That dragon I saw, was the Night Fury.

It's scales were jet black and it's eyes luminous green. The tail was long, the wings were bit, it had four legs and it was built for it's fast speed into the sky.

But the dragon had a leather saddle on it's back and it was making it's way to Raven's Cove.

After the Night Fury was into the cove, I dared to get closer.

I hided myself behind a stone and looked over it into the cove.

I couldn't believe what I saw.

Better said: who.

It was the Dragon Rider from last night and her ice blue Deathly Nadder.

But the Dragon Rider didn't wear the hood to cover up her face.

I could see her: she had long blonde hair braided to the left side of her head, her eyes were warmly ice blue with some shade of Scauldron light green and her face looked very kind and carrying without any freckles.

And there was a man with them.

That man wore a light brown leather armor with black leather shoulder blades, orange dragon symbols on his shoulder and one on his chest and there were brown leather straps to keep it all together. On his hip hang some kind of metal weapon I did not even know what it was.

I looked at the man's face, seeing his forest green eyes and his messy auburn brown hair.

He petted the Night Fury on it's snout before taking the woman's hands.

"Asthera, are you a 100 per cent sure you did the right thing last night?" the man asked.

I shaked my head. Did that man just call that woman Asthera? Like my older sister? Of course there are more Viking girls with that name, but it could be since her hair and eyes were almost the same colours as mine and Allan's.

"I had to, Hiccup." the woman named Asthera said.

"You always have to be stubborn like that don't you?" the man, who apparantly was named Hiccup, asked and pulled Asthera against him before kissing her. "That's what I truly love about your character."

"Hiccup, as soon as your mom arrives here, we need to talk to the Chief." Asthera said. "So prepare yourself."

"Yeah, right. Just be careful." Hiccup said.

I turned away and ran back to the village, silently.

Maybe that woman is my long lost sister and she's coming back to Berk with her boyfriend and his mother. Maybe there is a happy ending for me in sight!

I will not only hope, cause hope can be false.

No, I have to see who they are.
