*Yes, for those who might ask, this is based off the movie, and upcoming movie, How To Train Your Dragon & How To Train Your Dragon 2. It's going to be about the same as the movie, except with my own Viking character in it, named Dagny, meaning (in Norse) 'new day started'. This is also taking the place of Story Of My Life. I hope you all enjoy my new story, and stay until the end.*
I looked back to the good old days...
Hiccup was bending metal for the first time, taught by the best blacksmith around, Gobber. I ran up to him, watching his craftsmanship take place. He always made the neatest things, most of them made to kill a dragon.
"Hey, Dagny, look what I just finished making," his eager voice rang out. He showed me a twisted piece of metal just big enough to go on my wrist. There was flecks of emerald mixed into the bracelet, and the sun bounced off those bits beautifully.
"Oh my gosh! This is amazing, Hiccup. Why did you make this?"
He hesitated, then said, "I... I made it for you, Dagny. I made one for me too. Just not so girly."
I slipped it on my small wrist. Hiccup gave me a large sheet of metal to use as a mirror. I held my arm next to my face. It matched perfectly with my auburn hair. It was in a fishtail braid off to the side that day.
"I'm never going to take this off!" I gave Hiccup a hug. He didn't push away, which was surprising to me. Maybe he did have feelings for me like I did for him. Gobbers husky voice burst through.
"Hiccup! Quit your fiddling! We have a class today. C'mon, lets get going."
"I'd better go..." Hiccup quickly kissed my cheek and was off. I touched where his lips impacted my face.
But that was years ago...
This is Berk. It snows nine months here and hails the other three. Not always the most fun. All I do all day is stay under the cover of my wood-built home, hiding from dragons. Yep, I said dragons. They may be some magical fairytale that lead you to the magic sugar castle, but in real life, they're ANYTHING but that. The four main dragons that attack Berk are: Monsterous Nightmares, Hideous Zipplebacks, Deadly Nadders, and Gronkles. They stole our sheep and burnt our homes for at least 300 years. We have wasted all that lumber and livestock, just to see our hard work go up in flames!? I mean that, too. At least I have somewhat friends... and I only know one of the six well. His name is Hiccup. He is an AMAZING blacksmith and could build just about anything. He is also the guy I have a huge crush on. The others are Astrid, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and Snoutlout. Hiccup is in love with either Astrid or me, Ruff and Tuff are twins, Fishlegs is the book-worm, and Snoutlout is... Snoutlout. Just to sum things up a bit; I was there when this all took place.

I threw on my favorite bracelet. With legs burning, I ran into the blacksmith shop, heard a mallet bang on a sword, and saw Hiccup looking up at me.
"Hey, Dagny. A little busy right now, as you can see." Hiccup said as he put away the sword.
"Yeah, I could tell." I replied, then changed the subject, "Why are the dragons attacking us THIS time? Did Stoick punch a Nadder in the eye again?"
"Hey! Enough about my dad, Dag."
"Well, sorry..."
A Monsterous Nightmare caught a house on fire in the background. Five teens walked out there with water buckets, then strolled off with the house behind them exploding. They were my somewhat friends, and Hiccups acquaintances, Astrid, Fishlegs, Ruff and Tuff, and Snoutlout.
"Their job is so much cooler..." Hiccup said out loud. "Please say something to get my mind off them."
Doing what Hiccup asked of me, I muttered "Stupid dragons. They just destroyed another house. MY GOSH, why are they so destructive!?"
"Hmm, maybe it's because they can breathe fire or lava and some have spines, but that's just a guess." Hiccup said with sarcasm.
"You know what I meant", I said with a giggle.
"Ok, I'm going to switch gears a little bit, if you don't mind me doing so. Look what I built!" Hiccup said while rolling out some big thing-a-ma-doo. "I'm going to catch that Night Fury if it's the last thing I do... which is why I want you to come with me."
"Oh gosh, Hiccup. In the name of Thor, you aren't going to catch it. I'm just coming to watch you fail."
"Thanks for all that encouragement... let's just go."
We ran to the side off Berk, the spot that the Night Fury always hits. Hiccup aimed his Night Fury catcher, and we waited. It wasn't too long before it came. If only it was daytime, I thought, then he could have a better aim. Hiccup shot, and a black object fell to the ground.
"Did anyone besides Dagny just see that!?" Hiccup burst out with a smile.
"Maybe he did..." I stuttered. I pointed at a Monsterous Nightmare who was towering over both of us. "Oh snap, Hiccup! Get out of the way!"
Hiccup quickly jumped out of the way, just when the Nightmare shot some flames at the totem pole behind us.
"RUN!" we shouted at each other. We ran through the town, then saw Stoick the Vast up ahead. He is the chief of Berk, and Hiccups father. He saw the Nightmare chasing us, grabbed it by the neck, and punched its fat head.
"Who let these two out?" Stoick questioned while looking at me and Hiccup.
"Sorry, Dad..."
"Sorry, sir..."
The next day, Hiccup and I went to the woods to see if we really had caught a Night Fury. We went one way, then another, then another, but we couldn't find the dang Night Fury. Hiccup drew X's over the spots that failed us.
"No, no, and no. The gods hate me." Hiccup said, disappointed.
"That's not true! If they hate anyone or anybody then it's both of us." I said back.
"Ok, why does that not make me feel better? Anyways, I'm going to try one last spot, then I'm done for the day."
"You tell me, and alright."
We walked past a broken down tree and a rock with claw marks. Then we saw it.
We caught a Night Fury.
