After the raid, we flew east, attempting to find a place to rest, for it was nighttime. I scanned the ocean for anything, but found nothing. After five hours of flying, it was sunrise, we eventually found an island, and landed on the beach which grew into a dense forest. I really hoped that there was a village that we could raid here because I was hungry at this point and villages usually have the best resources. We decided eventually to go into the forest to find something to eat because even though that villages have the best food, there was some good food in the forest as well. All of a sudden, I heard a voice in the woods and immediately hid behind a tree, so they didn't know I was there. I had FireStorm go hide in the branches and get ready to ambush him and kill him. The voice grew closer until I could hear what the man was saying.

"So, SkullCrusher, you think we'll find some new dragons here?". I heard a low growl in response, and then they came through the clearing. There was a man, shorter than me, and less muscular, riding a dragon, which looked like a RumbleHorn. I told myself it most likely was. I stepped from behind the tree, snapping a tree branch in two. Immediately, the man whipped around and saw me standing there. Instantly, I whipped out my sword I used for defense, which was covered in the purple lighting from FireStorm's fire/lightning missile attack. When we saw me whip it out, he immediately threw up his arms in defense. "Whoa, whoa, hold on there, I don't want to hurt you man.". I slowly lowered the sword and he lowered his arms. "Who are you?", he asked me slowly. I told him my name was Connor, which was my real name. I still didn't trust him, even though he told me innocently that he didn't want to hurt me. I asked for his name, and he told me it was Eret, Son of Eret. I asked him if we was a dragon trapper, he laughed and told me that he was a dragon trainer. I told him that I still didn't believe him, so he said that he would go get some of his friends, and he asked me to please wait. He took off on the RumbleHorn and flew away from the forest. Then, FireStorm came down and nudged me a little, and I told him to go back up into the trees and wait until I was sure that I could trust them., then I would call him down.

A while later, I heard the flapping of wings and and Eret appeared. Next, a boy appeared who had brown hair and a thick build. The smirk he wore made him look narcissistic, which he probably was. Then came a boy and girl who looked like they were twins. They had the same long blond hair, and narrow features. Then came a large boy with soft, baby like features. He seemed very shy and frightened towards me due to my build and height. Last to enter came a girl with braided blond hair, who was holding hands with a boy that seemed to be the leader of the group. He had brown hair and eyes that shined green. I saw that his left leg was missing and it was replaced with a bent piece of metal, which seemed to hold him just fine. Immediately, the boy with the missing left leg decided to approach me carefully, seeing my build and height. He told me that Eret told them that you thought we were dragon trappers. I didn't say anything, but eyed him down. He asked for my name and I told him "Connor".

He decided to introduce everybody. He told me that his name was Hiccup, which he told me it was OK to laugh at, which I didn't. The narcissistic boy was Snotlout, which I laughed softly at. The twins were Ruffnut and Tuffnut. The large boy was Fishlegs. Finally, the girl with the braided hair was Astrid. Everyone said hello or hi to me, although Snoutlout gave me a jealous look, staring me up and down, as though jealous of my build and height, which was about six feet one. I told Hiccup that I didn't trust them, so they said that they had dragons of there own, which surprised me very much. They all disappeared into the woods and came out, a few seconds later. Snotlout had a Monstrous Nightmare, The twins had a Hideous Zippleback, Fishlegs had a Gronckle, Astrid had a Deadly Nadder, and Hiccup had a Night Fury. I stared very surprised into the Night Furies eyes, having finally seeing one now. Hiccup asked me if I was alone, I told him I wasn't. I decided to finally call FireStorm down. With a loud ass THUMP, he hit the ground and stared at all the dragons and humans around him. He looked very curiously at them, having I been the only human he has never met. They all stared in awe at the magnificent beast. Finally, Fishlegs managed to stutter out "H-He's a WindStinger!" I looked around at everybody's surprised and shocked faces. Then, the Night Fury began to approach me and FireStorm, wanting to sniff us. FireStorm stayed right where he was and let the Night Fury sniff him, watching his every move. He then sniffed me and nuzzled me a little bit. He then went back to Hiccup. He asked us to come back to the village with him and his friends and I reluctantly said yes. I cilmbed on FireStorm and followed the other riders back to their village, to which they called it Berk. They then lead me into the Great Hall, FireStorm tried to follow me, but I told him to stay there. Hiccup told me to wait while he got his dad. A few minutes later, he came back with his dad and I immediately recognized him, the chief, Stoick the Vast.
