Hiccup couldn't help but smile as he felt the wind in his hair. It felt like ages since they all had gone flying together.

"So where did you see the wreck?" he calls to Fishlegs.

Fishlegs looks around then points to his right. "Should be right down there," he informs them.

"Okay, here's the plan, Ruff and Tuff, you go scan the east side. Snotlout, Fishlegs, you guys go scan the woods behind the beach. See if anyone tried to get to the village. Astrid and I will check the west side. If you guys find anything, use your dragon calls," Hiccup says, pointing in each direction as he delegates jobs.

"Yes Chief," they all call before heading in their designated directions.

Once the others were gone, Astrid flies Stormfly closer to Hiccup and Toothless. "Think it's a Berserker ship?" she asked.

"I guess we'll find out. There it is," he says pointing to the remains of a ship.

The couple descend on the beach. They made sure not to land on any of the debris that had washed up on shore.

"Most have been a very powerful storm to have caused this kind of damage. I'm not sure if we are looking for survivors," Astrid says, kicking a piece of wood.

Hiccup was about to say he hopped not when a soft growl came from the wreckage. "Sounds like something survived," he whispered. He slowly made his way over to the side of the boat he had heard the growl.

Astrid followed close behind, her hand on the sheath of her dagger. Hiccup finally located the sound and held up a finger to his lip. She nodded, tightening her grip on the dagger. He grabbed a piece of wood that was in the way before tossing it aside. His eyes grow wide when he see's what was making the growling sound.

"Hiccup, what is it?" Astrid asks moving closer to him.

"It's a baby dragon!" he says.

Sure enough a tiny dragon crawls out from the wreckage. Astrid's eyes grow wide as well once she see's it. It wasn't just any baby dragon, it looked like a very tiny version of Toothless!

"Is that what I think it is?" she asks, her eyes as wide as dinner plates.

Hiccup kneels down so he can get a closer look. The baby dragon was black like Toothless, except it's skin had a slight purple tint to it. The tiny dragon arched it's back and growled. Hiccup takes note that it won't leave the safety of the wreckage and when he tried to get closer it growled louder.

"I'm not sure, but what I do know is it's guarding something," he explains. Hiccup slowly reaches out a hand, keeping it a safe distance from the baby.

It growled one more time before slowly walking over to his out stretched hand. The baby sniffed him a couple times before nudging it's head into his hand. Once Hiccup was sure it wasn't going to harm him, he run his hand under its chin, scratching the sensitive area causing it to fall asleep.

"It looks like a baby Night Fury," Astrid states once Hiccup had scoped the sleeping baby into his arms.

Hiccup looks over the tiny dragon. Once he had finished making sure it wasn't injured, he discovered that he wasn't holding a baby Night Fury but something just as rare.

"She's a Skrill! Which explains why we thought she was a Night Fury. From a distance, especially as a baby, Skrills resemble Night Fury's," he explains, rocking her back and forth.

Astrid's eyes grew wider, if that was possible, "B-but I thought Skrills were extinct."

"So did I but apparently not. What I don't get is why she was hiding in the wreckage of ship," he says, looking over at the destroyed ship.

Astrid kneeled down next to the wreckage and looked into the hole where they had found the Skrill. Suddenly Astrid gasps, her hands flying to her mouth.

"There's a girl! The baby was guarding a girl!" she says as she starts to crawl into the hole.

Hiccup watches as Astrid slowly pulls out a girl with long red hair. She was out cold but her chest was moving up and down, which meant she was breathing.

"We need to get her back to the Village," Astrid says, scooping the young girl up in her arms.

She carries her over to Stormfly. Once the young girl was safely secured on Stormfly's back, Astrid jumps up onto her Dragon. Hiccup couldn't seem to look away from the young girl. She looked no older then him. She had long flowing red hair that reminded him of the flames of a Monstrous Nightmare. The one thing that he found interesting was the fact that she had freckles all over her soft face.

"I'm going to go take her to the healer. You should signal to the others that we found something," Astrid tells him, bringing him out of his daze.

Hiccup gave a quick nod before Stormfly took off towards the Village. He watched his girl fly off till she had disappeared behind the tree line. Something nudges his elbow. Toothless had made his way over and was giving the sleeping baby dragon a curious look.

Hiccup smiled at his night fury. "Not it's not a baby Night Fury but a Skrill. I just wonder how that girl got her hands on one," he pondered looking down at the sleeping baby.

Toothless gurgles something, earning a smile from his rider. "That could be it but I have a feeling the only way we're going to find out is by heading back to the village."

The young chief sends out a dragon call, telling the others he and Astrid were heading back to the village. He then hoped on the back of Toothless. Once he made sure the baby Skrill was safely secure in the pouch attached to the Night Fury's side they jumped off and headed after Astrid.

The village was just coming into site when a small whimper came from the pouch. The baby Skrill had awoke and was now crying. Hiccup knew right away that the tiny dragon had noticed her missing companion.

"We're almost there little one," he says softly as he reached down and ran a hand over her head. This seemed to calm the baby but she still whimpered quietly. "Better pick up the pace bud."

Toothless nodded in understanding before increasing his speed. Pretty soon they were landing next to Stormfly in front of the healer's house. Hiccup scoops the baby in his arms before heading in.

Astrid was leaning against a pillar as the healer was looking over the young girl. At the site of her friend, the baby Skrill jumped from Hiccups arms. She flapped her tiny wings a few times till she could land on the red head's lap.

"How is she?" the young chief inquired heading over to his girl.

"Healer says that other then the nasty bump on the back of her head she's fine. She should wake soon," Astrid says her eyes trailing to the dragon. The Skrill had nudge the unconscious girls hand a couple times before curling up on her lap. "It's as if it thinks the girl is its mother."

Hiccup noticed the sadness on the young dragons face. "While we were on the way hear, she woke up and started to cry. Plus there's how she acted at the wreckage. Even Ruff and Tuff could have seen that she was protecting this young girl."

"I still can't figure out how this girl even got a hold of a Skrill. Maybe she is in fact a berserker. Skrill's are the symbol for their village after all," Astrid says.

He sighs cause he knew she was right. There really was no other explanation. "Guess we're just going to have to wait till she wakes to find out. However, if she is in fact a Berserker I will deal with her personally," the young chief states giving Astrid a quick kiss on the cheek.

Thankfully they didn't have to wait long for the young girl to wake up. The other had just come back to report that they hadn't found anyone else when she started to stir. The baby Skrill, which hadn't left it's post the entire hour, even when Hiccup offered her a fish, jumped up and gurgled happily.

"A-Aleskia?" she mumbles sleepily. The baby dragon gurgled louder before licking the young girls face. Suddenly the young girl shot up, her eyes wide. Seeing the baby a smile appeared on her face as she pulled the Skrill close. "Oh I'm so glad your okay!" she cries a tear falling from her bright green eyes.

Astrid got up from her seat and walked over to the cot. "We're glad both of you are okay. To be honest we were surprised to find any survivors with how bad the wreckage was," she explains gently.

The young girl's head spun to face them, as if noticing that she wasn't as alone asshe thought. She pulled her dragon closer, fear plastered on her freckled face. "Who are you? Where are we?" she asked franticly. Her eyes couldn't seem to focus on just one spot.

"This is Astrid," Hiccup tells her, raising his hands defensively, And my name is Hiccup. I'm the chief of Berk. Which is where you are currently."

She looked from one to another before slowly releasing her dragon. "Berk? As in the island of Berk?" she asked looking around a little slower.

"The one and only," he smiles. "Now may I ask what your name is?"

The young girl looked down at her dragon, who was still smiling happily up at her owner. "My name is Kia and this is Aleskia," she introduces pulling her dragon close once again.

"It's nice to meet both of you. We'll have to introduce you to Toothless and Stormfly when your feeling a bit better," he says taking a seat on the edge of her cot.

Kia moved away slightly, keeping Aleskia close. "Who are they?" she asked, giving Hiccup a wiry once over.

Astrid leans against a pillar closer to the cot. "Their our dragons. Stormfly is mine and Toothless is the chief's here."

The young red heads eyes grew wide again. "So the rumours were true! I can't believe this! Haskell will be so happy!"

"Who's Haskell?" Astrid asks, an eyebrow raised in confusion.

"Haskell is a friend of mine. He had heard rumours of and island where Dragons and Humans lived in peace. So we set off to find it. And apparently we did! He must be so happy!" Kia says, finally smiling. She looked around one more time. "Is he in another room?"

Hiccup exchange a worried look with Astird. "No he's not. Kia, you and Aleskia were the only ones we found at the wreckage. Our friends searched the entire island and they didn't find anyone," he tells her sadly.

Kia's face dropped as tears appeared in her eyes. "They must have missed somewhere. He was on the boat when that wave . . . oh gods!" She cries, laying back down.

The Chief reached out to her but she moved away. Tears were now streaming from her green eyes. Aleskia walked over so she was closer to the red heads face. The baby let out a whimper before snuggling into her crying owner.

Astrid places a gentle hand on Hiccup's shoulder. "Let's leave her. She needs to rest."

He slowly got up off the cot and followed her out the door. Once out the door was shut silently behind them, Hiccup turned to his girl. "Well at least we know she isn't a Berserker. They know about us and our dragons," he says.

"Remember Heather though? You thought we could trust her too till she stole the book of Dragons," Astrid reminds him with a smirk.

Hiccup playfully shoves her. "Are you ever going to let me live it down?" he asked glaring at her.

"Not likely. I just think we should keep an eye on her," she says glancing at the door.

He follows her gaze with a sigh. "Fine but we also need to keep an eye out for this Haskell. There are a few questions I wouldn't mine asking. If we ever do fine him."

"I'll get Fishlegs to do one more round of the island. Maybe Kia is write, they may have missed him," Astrid tells him, her hand running down Stormfly's neck.

"Sounds like a plan. I just hope we do find him. The guy seems really important to Kia," Hiccup says, sounding a little annoyed at that last part.

Astrid gave him a confused look. Since she first saw him look at her, Astrid didn't like Kia. She just hoped that just like with Heather, her feeling were wrong.
The riders go to search for this shipping but what they find will confuse them a lot more then they expected!
