We ran down behind a large rock. I held my first finger up to my lips, telling Hiccup to wait there. My head peeked around the rock. I saw a dragon, but it was no Night Fury. It was an undiscovered dragon with five heads. I don't understand! We hit a Night Fury; I saw it with my own eyes. Maybe there is something about this dragon that we don't know about.

Hiccup whispered, "Dagny, what do you see out there?"

"Why don't you check it out for yourself," I replied to him

He looked from the other side of the rock, and saw the five-headed beast.

"What the heck is that thing?" Hiccup blurted out.

I walked away from Hiccup without answering his question. He followed me, with his pocket knife out. There was the dragon. The back of the beast was yellow with a large patch of orange. Orange ran down its legs and onto its claws. The claws were short but sharp, and there were spines on the back of its legs. It had huge wings, long necks and a tail with five add-on tails to match the heads. I look at the heads and noticed they all had a different eye colors. It shot out five different things. I realized that the color of their eyes represented what it fired. The first head had red eyes for fire; the second head had aqua eyes for water; the third head had almost pure white eyes for ice; the forth head had deep brown eyes for dirt and rocks; and the fifth head had greyish-purplish eyes for fog, and it was slightly smaller then the rest.

"All of the main elements," I murmured to myself, even though the blacksmith could hear. He looked at their heads, and saw what I did.

"You're right... if it's a new dragon, we should name it. How about, Element-thing."

"Really? You're one of the smartest Vikings around, and that's what you come up with? Why don't we try, Element Caster."

"Ok then, go off and steal my ideas."

"What ideas?" I said, bursting out laughing.

He didn't respond, but what did I care? I glanced back at the Element Caster and realized what Hiccup's Night Fury catcher had done. Iron weights digging into its flesh and ropes giving burns to its outstretched wings. Out of the blue, its wings shrunk down to almost nothing. The ropes that it was trapped in were loosened, the dragons wings returned, and it blasted into the deep blue sky, firing fog all the way.

"Hiccup," I started off, "what do you think it's like to fly a dragon..?" We looked at each other and knew what we had to do.

We would be the first to train a dragon.
