The Journey - Book 6 (Defenders Of Berk X OCish Reader)

CHAPTER 2

You smiled. "Now let's go. We're heading to Outcast Island."

You hopped off of Heatwave's back, carefully sneaking on the island.

"Stay hidden," you whispered to him. "I'll be back as soon as I can."

He nodded and soundlessly dove back into the water.

You quietly walked around the tip of the cliff, locating any Outcast soldiers nearby. There were surprisingly little of them.

You took a bigger stone from near your feet and with all your strength, you threw [yeeted] it over the Outcasts' heads and into a cave. They all immediately turned their heads that way and readied their weapons. As they started cautiously walking towards it, you [booked it] ran behind their backs behind the next pillar, going unspotted.

In some time of sneaking like that, you managed to make it near the arena. You peaked inside, noticing no Vikings in sight. Releasing a breath, you slowly slid in from under the gate, using your skinniness to your advantage.

Looking around the dragon arena, you were assessing the situation. There were only a few dragons trapped in the cages. You recognised three of the species: there was a Nadder, a Scauldron - who you assumed to be Heatwave's friend - and a Monstrous Nightmare. The one you didn't recognise had a lizard-like body and huge wings. The light green tail of the creature had spikes on it.

You looked at it wide-eyed. You had never seen something like that before. Focus, Y/n! You have to get all these dragons out of here!

And that you indeed had to do. All the dragons were not pleased by being in the cages - thrashing around and trying to get out.

"Keys, keys..." you mumbled, looking around. "There!"

They were just simply hanging there - on a nail on the wall. You ran over to it, your quiet steps echoing and getting louder. As you reached for the keys, a hand landed on your shoulder.

"What do we have here?"
