Riani here! I hope you enjoy my new story inspired by the How to Train Your Dragon Movie/TV show/ book (well not as much the book, but a little bit!) As always reviews are welcome and appreciated.

Chapter 1

Hiccup waited on the dock watching the still far away ship approach. Earlier that day his father had told him of its arrival. Hiccup was excited but a little bit nervous.

These newcomers were friends of Berk, but they had not visited since before Hiccup met his dragon Toothless, and changed life on Berk forever.

Hiccup had turned a dragon killing island into a dragon riding island, and there was no telling how the visitors were going to react. Stoic had ordered all dragons to remain out of sight until the situation could be explained fully, and who best to do the job?

Hiccup.

Hiccup sighed in exasperation as the boat continued to move slowly towards port. Stoic came down to stand next to his son.

"Are you ready, Hiccup?"

"To convince a bunch of dragon hating vikings that 'no it's ok we like dragons now!' Yeah I'm great Dad."

"You'll be fine, you did it once already, remember?"

Hiccup remembered. He remembered almost losing Toothless, having to battle a huge monster of death, nearly dying, and waking up missing a limb.

"Yes, and that was a piece of cake…" Hiccup muttered.

Keila watched as the shore came closer and closer. She hadn't been to Berk in so long. It felt like it had been forever since her family had left the island to help solidify the bond between the Viking tribes of Berk and Rus.

This had been her home once, and so it would be again. The ship would make port and leave the next day after a short meeting of the chiefs, but Keila would not be leaving with it.

Rus was no longer somewhere she felt safe. At least on Berk she knew she would protected and she wouldn't have to worry about the one thing that scared her most.

Dragons.
