This chapter I decided to try something, there is noPOV's and while you read you figure out whose perspective it is, please give me feedback on if I should continue like this or go back to my old way of writing for the time being, anyway, onwards you go...
We glided down as we approached the Island, we landed at the place Gale had called the landing grounds, I expected to see crowds of different dragons going about and doing what dragons do, but this place was a ghost town.
Gale jumped down from behind me and began searching around, Hiccup dismounted Toothless and began searching as well, I stayed on the Nadder's back and tried to make out my new surroundings.
"Where is everyone?" I heard Gale mutter, "This place is usually always busy!"
"Maybe everyone went to sleep?" Hiccup offered, I finally decided to climb down and join them, "Astrid, what do you think?"
"I don't know, maybe they're hiding." I said while shrugging my shoulders, I was about to say something else but there was a yell in the distance and an arrow shot past my face, sticking me to the spot.
Gale began running the opposite direction and beckoned us to follow.
"I know where everyone's gone now, and why we were called here!" She yelled back to us, "Night was right, Dragon Trappers!"
Toothless, the Nadder and the new dragon, Surface-Skimmer were close behind as we ran across the island littered in trees and buildings that were quite well made even though it was an Island of Dragons. We were running until we came across a hill, we could have just continued running but Gale had stopped us.
"What are we gonna do, why did we stop?" Hiccup asked, he kept looking behind us, expecting to see the Trappers probably.
"Because this is gonna be the safest place, for now!" She walked round the mountain and pushed away some long grass, uncovering a tunnel, "Come on! Unless of course, you want to get captured!"
We followed her into the tunnel and were greeted by a wooden door, Gale pushed through the door and let us all in, in the end everyone was standing in what looked like a large cave, how big? The Nadder could easily stand up.
"What is this place?" I asked as Gale and Toothless walked around lighting the room, "Some sort of cave?"
"Astrid, it's an Island of dragons, this is home!"

"You mean, this is where you live? This is your home?!" Astrid exclaimed, snapping her head up to look Gale in the eye.
"Yeah!" Gale replied, she turned to Toothless and continued with the lights, uncovering some portraits hanging on the walls.
Astrid walked over to me and leaned on the stone wall, she let out a sigh and joined me watching the scene in front of us.
"I probably should have guessed they lived in a cave" She finally said after a few minutes.
"You have to admit though, it's a pretty nice place." I responded, "Except, you know, the hostile people who nearly shot you in the head"
"Yeah…." She looked up and began inspecting a portrait of Gale and Toothless, it looked quite new and comparing the two to the painting, they looked mostly the same, "There are so many paintings in here!"
"We like to look back, sometimes its fun, most times its really not" Gale called over to us, "Like the ones from the day my leg got taken off, not fun!"
There was a sudden and desperate cry from outside the cave, everyone's head snapped up at the sound.
"Fury…." Gale breathed almost inaudible, "No!" She dropped everything she was holding and ran out the door, Toothless hot on her trail.
"Should we follow?" I asked once they had both gone out of earshot.
"I think so!" Astrid confirmed as we both ran after them into the village once more, but it looked strikingly different.
Sorry it's short I was mostly working on the new way of writing, I'm hoping the next one will be longer.
