Aric

I walked through the island where I saw the soldiers and their dragons.

Toothless looks at me as I was demonstrating a boy attitude.

"Ok, how about this? Hi, I'm Aric and this is Midnight. We're new here and we are hoping that we can join." I dropped my sword in embarrassment as the Night Fury turns around and laughs at me.

I said, "Hey, come on, I'm really trying to act like a boy instead of a girl.

I am hoping that we find Hiccup and hope that Dagur and Heather find Ingrid and the others."

The Night Fury nods in total agreement as we walked to the main center of the campsite.

"How in the name of Thor would we find Hic here?" I thought as I looked around in my surroundings.

A boy who was around my age said, "Hey! Watch where you are going!"

I said in a deep voice, "I am so sorry, We just came into this isle and we don't know the island well."

He replied, "Well, that is quite understandable. I'm Islas and you are?"

"I'm Aric and this is my dragon, Midnight." I said, hoping that he would take the fake identity.  

Islas said, "Well, Aric, I guess that I should show you and Midnight around."

We walked around as I saw a big tent.

"Hey, what's that Tent?"

"Oh, that leads to our boss's main headquarters. You shouldn't go there, only when you are summoned." Islas explained.

I looked at Toothless as the Night Fury knew as well as I do, rescuing Hiccup wouldn't be easy as we thought.

Tames

Ingrid paces back and forth in the Great Hall.

I said, "Ingrid, sweetheart, you have to calm down. I'm sure that Astrid can handle herself."

"She couldn't do it all herself. I'm going to help her, no matter what. Heather, you said that Astrid wrote on that cloth?"

"Yeah, she did. Why you ask?" Heather asks, curious of Ingrid's idea.

She said, "Rumblehorns can track any scent. We have one. His name is Skullcrusher. "

I said, "So, you suggesting we use Skullcrusher to locate Astrid and Hiccup then what?"

She said, "I haven't thought of anything else yet, but Hic needs us. We're family."

Fishlegs said, "I'm in."

Snoutlout said, "I'm in too. There is no way I'm missing out any action."

Skullcrusher led us the way and then Ingrid said, "What the-"

I couldn't agree with her. Something is wrong.

Aric

I decided to learn how to swordfight, since if my identity was discovered, I have to be ready for the fight.

I picked up the sword but I didn't know how to wield it.

"First time using a sword?" Someone said.

I turned to see Islas smiling.

"Islas! Uh... was it too obvious?"

He laughs, "Here, I'll teach you."

He taught me all the things I need to know about Swordfighting and it seems easy. I could see why Hiccup is so good swordsman in Dragon Paradise.

"Hey, what's wrong, Aric? Is it something I've said?"

I put my sword to my waist, "No, Islas. it's just I am concerned."

"About what?" He asks curiously. Should I tell him that I'm really a Berkian and attempt to do an impossible intimation of a boy and rescuing Hiccup?

  "It's just I'm here looking for a friend that I've known my whole life, but I'm not sure if I could ever find him."

"Hey, I'm sure you'll find a way to rescue your friend. If I was in your shoes, I would not stop until I find him."

I said, "Thanks, Islas."

"Hey, we're friends now. We stick together."

As I was about to thank him, a soldier said, "Boss wants to see you both. Now!"

We exchanged looks and I knew it wouldn't be good.
