Chapter 1

Past and Present

   (past)
3rd POV
  In the archipelago the Thorstons, a family known for giving birth to twins, except this one expected couple.
     A woman with blonde hair and pale-blue eyes, lay in a bed screaming, as she gives birth to what she thinks is a set of twins.
     The women's husband stands next to her clutching her hand.
      "Your doing it, I see the head" The father screams.
    "I know!" Screams the mother annoyed.
     One crying baby comes out, it's a boy, they name him, Tuffnut.
     Five minutes go by and the mother screams again, but smiles knowing she about to give birth to her second child.
     The child is much smoother this time, and it's a girl, they name her Ruffnut.
      Everyone thinking this is over the start packing things up, not even 30 seconds go by the mother screams in pain and clutches her husband's hand.   
     "It's triplets!" The father yells.
      The mother yells as the baby comes out and the mother is exhausted, usually the children get there looks from there mother in the Thorston family, but this baby girl had her father's.
      The child had black hair, one pale-blue eye and one green eye a trait no other Thorston had.
      The mother and father were happy to have such a unique child, but it was unheard of to have triplets.
       The next day the children were up early and the two blonde children were screaming and throwing things already, while the other child was silent looking at the house, she started crawling extremely early and exploded the house.
         For the next few years the blonde twins could get along very well, but the black haired girl was different, so very different from any Thorston.
       Her name was Stephanie, the father and mother didn't know what to name the child so the called her child until the mother was looking through a book and found the most beautiful word to her.
        Going to the wiser elder who reads she asked what the word was and it was Stephanie, and that was deemed the babies name: Stephanie Thorston.

(Present)
3rd POV
     One a medium sized island in the archipelago lived Stephanie, she left at the age of 16 to live on her own, cause as she grew older the Thorstons disposed her for being different and even her parents were distant, she knew they loved her but go make their lives and hers easier she left.

Stephanie's POV
        I woke up early to tend to the crops, I was dressed in a long white dress, my long black hair blew in the wind, annoyed at the hair I tied it in two French braids, I whistle and my pet dragon who I met after leaving, she saved me when I was hurt.
       She is a Devilish Dervish, and she is fully black with spots of red on her horns, tips of her wings and tail, her claws are also red.
         "Good morning Crimson" I say my voice light and soft.
         I like most vikings, there voices were rough, deep and scruffy for the men, the woman were some high pitched, whiney and lustful, but Stephanie had just the perfect voice all of the combined into one beautiful melody, has her mother said when she started speaking at 1/2 years old and as her voice matured.
         Crimson gives a deep rumble as she bows her head I scratch behind her horns and she rumbles another deep rumble.
          "Feel like taking a flight?" I ask and Crimson nods her head in understanding.
      Climbing on the back on Crimson I brace myself as she flies into the sky, I whoop loudly and giggle, I turn around and lay down with my hands over my stomach watching the clouds.
      One seconds the sun is beating down on my face the next a sudden shade comes over me, I open my eyes and see 5 dragons with people on then.
      One spots me and I spin around on Crimson, I brace myself.
        "Get us out of here Crimson" I say she growls and flies faster.
         They spot me as I try and get away hollering at me to stop and land my dragon. I roll my eyes.
       "Yeah right" I say and turn back around laying comfortably.
       Me and Crimson keep flying as the continue to chase us, Crimson is slowly getting tired but we train a lot so she has pretty good stamina.
       I noticed that there dragon have gotten extremely tired, soon the brake off and land and I pat Crimson telling her we can go home, and she flies us home.
        We make it home and she goes back into her cave underneath my house I go inside and take a warm shower and getting dressed in a pair of pants and blouse.
         For lunch I think fires fish with a salad will do, so I go out and gather things for a salad, lettuce tomato, cucumber, and cheese which I made from goat.
         Crimson fishes with a basket, swooping in the water she catches over 200 fish in one catch enough for her, she does it again in another basket only catching about 30 for me which is all I need for a couple of days.
      I start a fire and she curls up around it, I lay against her as I watch the fish cook over the fire.
       A branch snaps in the bushes next to us and we both look up, I see a dragon tail in the air and giggle.
        "Do you think they found us, Crimson?" I ask her and she growls as a face peaks through the bushes.
       I laugh as, Crimson uses her tail to block there view of us.
       "You can come out, she doesn't bite" I say a group of four people come out form behind the bushes with there dragon.
        "Welcome, what can I do ya for?" I ask looking up my miss matched colors eyes focusing on every detail of each person. Suddenly a flying mace gets thrown form the bushes and I catch it.
        "Macy?" I ask looking the weapon, I throw it to the side shaking it off.
        Two people comes through the bush wrestling both blonde, both pale-blue eyes one boy, one girl I immediately recognize them as my siblings.
        "What do you want?" I ask again now that we've been interrupted.
        A boy with brown hair and brown eyes, looks at me and just stares.
      "What?" I snap.
       "Oh umm, We saw you riding and didn't know what to do so we thought of finding you, we've never seen that dragon before" the boy says.
       "She is a Devilish Dervish and her name is Crimson" I say and stand the fish are ready I take them and put them on a plate for each of us with salad.
       A loud crash is heard and I see the barrel of Crimson fish flopping on the ground, the twins stop fighting as Crimson growls annoyed.
        "Please sit down" I say they do and I feed them, they are completely unaware of who I am, that's good.
         "Who are you" a girl asks with blonde hair and blue eyes.
          "You can call me Steph" I say and stand up I turn my braids going down my back past my thighs.
           "Wow brother, look her hair is longer than ours" Ruffnut says, I smile and walk to the house.
        "I'm sure you can show yourselves the way off my island?" I say and shit the door as Crimson goes back to her cave.
         I walk around and sit down when my door is knocked on, I get up and the brown haired boy with brown eyes stands there, I look at the others and sigh.
       "Only you" I say and move out of the way, he walks in.
        I shut the door.
        "What do you want?" I ask and he just looks at me.
        "Me and my friends are from berk we found a place called we call home, we call it the edge, we want you to come back with us" he says and I narrow my eyes.
     "No" I say and open the door.
     "Goodbye" I say again.
      He leaves and they all fly off. I sigh and walk to my room not knowing that these next few days would be so tiring.
