Astrid's POV.
.............................................
Rocky ended up riding Toothless all the way back home. Hiccup kept reminding him how the tail controls worked and how to sit in the saddle in certain situations. Rocky was a tall kid. He actually looked liked a younger version of Trader Johan, only he had green eyes and hair that hadn't seen the scissors for a while. He seemed fascinated by the dragons and the fact that we rode them, and even more awed at Toothless. Rocky kept on praising and rubbing Toothless on his head. He would then ask Hiccup questions and then go back to praising Toothless all over again.

"Home in view!" I yelled when Haddock Island came in sight. Sighs of relief were easily heard, even from Rocky.
"ROOAAARRRR!" A Snafflefang came alongside me.
"Greetings Alvin." Hiccup said rather tired. Alvin looked Rocky up and down but said nothing.
"Trader Johan is here by the way." Alvin broke the silence. Rocky's head shot up towards Alvin and his eyes looked almost wild with terror and surprised all on one. We landed the dragons on the docks and greeted a sea sick Johan.
"Master Hiccup! Do you mind if i stay the night? I'm feeling very unwell." Johan asked.
"Of course! Stay! We have a spare house about a 15 minute walk from here. But do you mind sharing it with Rocky? He's a newcomer." Hiccup welcomed Johan before telling him about Rocky.
"Hey Hiccup. Where is Rocky?"

Rocky's POV.
...................................
I ran and ran and ran. To where? You may ask. Well, I didn't know. I just couldn't be seen by Johan. He was my father and, last time I saw him, we weren't on good terms. He wanted me to work with him on the sea. I hate boats! That's why I pursued dragons. All I needed was proof that we can ride them. And I do now.
Trees and boulders. That's all I saw as I fled through the trees and burst, suddenly, onto a beach. I leant against a tree and closed my eyes, breathing deeply.
"Sniff, Sniff........." I heard a sniffing sound just behind me. A sandy coloured head, similar to a Night Fury, came next to me and sniffed at the sand.
"Oh my goodness. A Sand Wraith!" I gasped as silent as possible. The dragons head shot up and it's yellow eyes glared at me.
"What did Hiccup say?!" I raked my brain on how to train a dragon. That's it!
I stuck my hand out and turned my head away. The dragon stopped sniffing and rested its nose on my hand. I had trained a Sand Wraith.
"How about I name you..........Sandclaw! Do you like Sandclaw?" I asked the Sand Wraith. He tilted his head and purred lightly.
"I think that's a yes."

Hello everyone! Sorry for not updating lately, and that this chapter is very short! I've just been so busy.
For example, yesterday I had a awesome bonfire here! And then today was the Dirt Bike day. My friend fell off once! Lol, he's tough, don't worry. I'm going to delete my new book, called "My Life, How I Have Viewed It". And change it to a Dirt Bike Related Book. Anyway, enough talking.
Love you all and have a great day, or night!
