If you were to pass the village of Berk during the day, well you wouldn't see anything out of the ordinary. But at night, now that's when you don't want to be there. You see, most places have pests like spiders or mice. Not Berk. We have Dragons.

A girl, around 15 years old opens her front door, revealing a large red dragon, quickly slamming it. As the dragon breathed fire towards the door illuminating the girl's small frame she said quietly, "Dragons." Let me give you a hint, that's me. After the door had cooled down some I reopened it and ran out. My name is Hicca. Great name, yes I know. And yet it could be worse. People believe that our names can frighten gnomes and trolls. Yeah right, if our 'charming' Viking demeanor can't, nothing can. As I ran through the village I pulled my reddish brown hair into a high ponytail, ignoring some of the comments thrown my way. All of the sudden I was lifted into the air by the back of my dark green dress.

"What are you doing- What is she doing? What are you doing out?" Stoic, the chief of Berk, asked first to me, then the villagers, then back to me. Then he gently but impatiently pushed me towards the forge and said, "Get back inside!" Running enough, I was aiming to go to the forge. As I ran in and traded my brown fur vest for an apron I heard Gobber, the blacksmith, ask me where I was.

"Thought you'd been carried off there for a moment," he teased.

"Yeah right. Like the dragons could handle all this Viking material," I joked, motioning to my tiny frame.

"Ha ha very funny," he said, smiling. I put away some of the prosthetics he has for his missing hand then move towards the door.

"Oh no you don't," Gobber said, pulling me in by the back of my dress.

"Why do you insist on keeping me inside?" I ask.

"Oh come on Hicca. You know why. You can't lift a hammer, can't swing an axe, you can't even throw one of these!" he said, holding up a pair of bolas that a passing Viking took from his hand, throwing it at a passing dragon and bringing it to the ground.

"True, true," I admitted. "But I don't need to, because I have this!" I said proudly, pulling out an odd looking contraption. I was rather proud of my bola-throwing invention, until I patted it and have the weapon fly out the front window and take down a viking. Gobber gave me a look that said 'I told you so' and I retaliated with, "Mild calibration issue." Lame excuse, I know. But it's all I got so don't be too hard!

"Axe. Sharpened. Now," Gobber said, handing me a dull axe. I grudgingly brought it to the wheel and started sharpening it, glaring at my mentor. All of the sudden a nearby home caught on fire, and the other teens on the island rushed to it, dousing it in water. As they turned I noticed only a few things. Ruffnut and Tuffnut (the twins) were fighting as usual. Fishlegs was running for more water and my stupid cousin Snotlout was obviously looking for her crush, whom she took every chance to hit on. Then I found him. The one teen I actually had a crush on. Asher. Unfortunately, Snotlout likes him, too. And no one likes me. I'm too useless on the battlefield for Asher to like me. I still feel a pang of jealousy as they walk past the forge. They have a way cooler job. But I won't have to worry much longer, cause I'm gonna kill a dragon. There are a few to choose from here. The dragons we have here would all at least prove I'm not useless. And two would maybe even get me a date. But there's one that no one ever kills.

"NIGHT FURY!" A man outside yells, as a pitch black creature soars through the sky. Then, the watch tower explodes with a blue blast of fire. The Night Fury. Stealthy, mysterious. It never shows itself, never takes food and, never misses. As if on cue with my thoughts another tower is hit. No one has has ever killed a Night Fury, that's why I'm gonna be the first.

"Man the fort Hicca, they need me out there," Gobber says, exchanging his current prosthetic for one with a battle hammer. As he walked to the door he turned to me and said, "Stay. Put. There." With each word he motioned to the spot I was sitting in.

"Oh you know what I mean," he finished, then raised the hammer above his head and ran out with a battle cry. I wait a few moments, then take my chance. I grab my machine and run out, again ignoring the calls from the others that are somewhere along the lines of 'get back inside'. I call back that I'll be there in a minute and run to a quiet little ledge on the corner of town. The machine set up quickly and I looked through the little hole used to help aim, brushing some hair behind my ear.

"At least give me something to shoot at!" I whisper as nothing passes. Then, a screech, and a dark form flies through the air. I gasp and aim, letting the bola fly. It actually hit the Night Fury! I watched it fall and made a mental note, right off Raven Point. Turning in victory I raised my hands above my head.

"Did anybody see that?" I asked. "Come on. Anyone?" I heard a rumbling noise behind me and turned, coming face to face with a Monstrous Nightmare. "Except for you," I said weakly. Then ran.
