This is Berk. It is almost always freezing here. The terrain is rough and the people, even more so. The food is just about digestible and the water is one step away from dysentery. The people here say that there is an upside though, the pets. While other places have dogs, cats, rabbits or goldfish, we have dragons.
It wasn't always like this though. The dragons used to be more pests than pets, that was until the soon to be chief, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third, tamed one. Yes, you heard me correctly. He tamed a dragon.
Now everyone here seems to love them. Everyone seems to have one as a pet. Me, on the other hand? Not so much.
I never really new my parents, apparently my mother was a gentle and caring lady while my father was a strong warrior. My mother got ill when I was 3 and died a few months later. Everyone says my father sort of lost it after my mother passed. He became reckless and unreasonable. He passed away not long after, fighting a dragon.
Maybe that's why I have such a resentment against them or maybe it's just my personality. See, everyone here loves the change and thinks it's better off but I don't do change. I don't think people can change. Once a twat, always a twat.
After my parents passed away Gobber, the islands blacksmith, took me in. He cared for me until I got older and moved into my own home. He still tries to care for me like a father would though.
My house is small but cosy. It has a couch with a chair either side and a fireplace. The kitchen is at the back, open plan to the main living area. There is a room at the back that I use for storage and writing. Above the living room there is a ladder which takes you to my bedroom. Well, I say bedroom, it's more of a ledge that looks out to the living area with some blankets and pillows on it. I can't count the amount of times I've fallen off of it and hit the floor below.
I try to stay in my house as much as possible now. I mean, I used to keep to myself anyway but since dragons took over the island, even more so.
I don't know if I'll ever be okay with dragons, but I'm just fine staying inside.
