Snotlout mumbled to himself, cursing Hiccup.
"Why does he get everything?" He grumbled to Hookfang. "I mean, he got to be the heir, he got a Night Fury and he got the girl." Snotlout said, waving his hands in the air.
Hookfang gave a huff of annoyance.
"I'm sorry Hookfang, I didn't mean to offend you." Snotlout said, stroking the dragon's snout.

Snotlout stood up and walked to the beach, a place where he could clear his thoughts. As he strode along, he found
pieces of wooden planks.

Huh, weird he thought, finding several more.

He heard Hookfang freeze, so he froze aswell. The duo glanced around before Hookfang moved forward. Snotlout followed cautiously behind.

Hookfang stopped, almost making Snotlout bump into him. He then made his way around the dragon.

Laying in front of the dragon, there was a person, face tilted slightly, but mostly fully in the sand.

Snotlout gently picked up the figure and took her to a clearing, where no water would get her.

A couple hours of making a hut later, he heard a gasp from behind him. He turned around to be met by the mesmerising light brown orbs that belonged to the girl he rescued, her fiery red hair, cascading down from her head and getting slightly in her face.

Snotlout coughed, feeling uncomfortable. "I found you on the beach unconscious." He said, looking down.
"Wa...ter... Plea...se?" The girls croaky voice said.

Snotlout pulled out his wineskin and handed it to the girl. She took a long drink from it, and soon it was empty. "Thankyou." She said shyly, hiding behind her blazing hair.
"No problem." Snotlout said, before poking the fire with a stick.

There was silence for a while, before Hookfang came up to the camp spot with some fish. "Oh, he's a beauty." The girl said before Snotlout could say anything.
"You're peaceful with dragons?" Snotlout asked confused.
"Always have been, always will be." The girl said, fussing Hookfang.
"Have you got one?" He said, gesturing to Hookfang.
"No, never had a true bonding." She replied, her focus completely on making Hookfang happy.

"His name is Hookfang." Snotlout said at last.
"Hello Hookfang, I'm Iona." The girl said to the dragon.
"And I'm... Balder." Snotlout said, coming up with a name. He didn't want the girl to think he was stupid, 'Snotlout' wasn't the greatest name out there, because he had tried to get so many girls and he failed with all of them.

Iona turned around and smiled at Snotlout. "Are you alone?" She said after a minute, her smile fading.
"Yeah, just you, me and him." Snotlout said, gesturing to his dragon.

Iona came over and sat down opposite the fire. Hookfang came and curled beside her, knowing what Snotlout wanted. Snotlout just slept in a blanket by the fire.
