Astrid' s tale( httyd astrid's pov)

'Egg'citing Preperations

"Asty! hold it still!" anna yelled.I stared at the sheep we were decorating. bursting full of silly, random decorations, multi-colored ribbons and a horrified face."hold on. needs more ribbons."I said."bleeeh!"it bleated back at me, shrinking a bit when I glared at it. it was almost Snoggletog week and it was a time of celebrations, and decorating sheep without getting yelled at, not to mention Yaknog!

Oooooh! How I loove me a good cup of yaknog! it's a traditional drink at the island of Latia, made with fresh yak milk, some egg whites, and coconut milk, with just a teensy-weensy bit of cheese.there was one time I tried making it on my own, but everybody basically forbade me to do it ever again. Apparently, i've inheireted my mom's cooking skills. well, I DO admit, it sorta smelled like a small mammal died in the pot for two hot weeks and was marinated in spoilt milk. Oh, well.

Anyways,I got up and dusted my blue leggings."I'm gonna fetch some more ribbons. I'll go get them from my house." I told her." good idea.I'm gonna look for some shells or rocks on the beach." she said, walking, no, skipping, off." well ah smell like yak cuz ah dont use soap, I'm a viking through and through......." she sang, already on her merry way to the beach.

I walked over to my house, passing our shepard, Gretta, on the way. She was giggling at a letter from someone named Gobber. Nice. Gretta's finally got herself a boyfriend! She was a bit, er, wide and let's just say she believes that'violence is communication.'. The last guy who offended her got a missing leg AND a verrry painful upper lip where she pulled his mustache out. I don't think that guy ever came out of his shell again.Yikes.

I pushed open the door to my empty house, and went upstairs to my room. Then, I turned my entire room to a disaster zone, trying to look for the box of ribbons. ah, there it was. on the shelf. I opened it to see a strange lizard-like creature, eating up all my ribbons that I spent so much time collecting!

"Aaaaaaaaah!" I yelled, freaking out and dropping the box.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!" It yelled in a very squeaky sound, barfing out fire balls as it flew out. GROSS! 

"You are the grossest creature ever!" I sceeched.

Wait. That thing had WINGS? was that a dragon?There are NO dragons on Latia-

"OW!" A stinging sensation inturrupted my thoughts and made me realize something: my boot was on fire!

"Aaaaaaaaaaah!" I sceamed, franticaly trying to yank the boot off my foot. It resulted in the boot flying off and out the window, smashing into a poor villager outside. He grunted and stood up, picked up the boot, and stalked off after tossing it up to me.

"sorry!"I yelled at the unfortunate guy. I put on my boot. it was burnt at the toe. Odin. Mom was NOT gonna like that.

-------------------------------

after I got back to the sheep pen, I looked around.Anna was no where to be found.(A/N:LOL that rhymed!)She said she was going to the beach, so may as well start looking for her there.

I walked down to the beach,  glittering black sand covering the entire place, with rocks sticking out here and there. The water was lapping at the shore, making splooshie sounds while rounding out the rocks. There were some seashells covering the beach, but were mostly trampled into oblivion. Man, and Anna said she was going to find shells to decorate the sheep. I made my way to the other side of the beach where some unknown bushes had sprung out, looking nice and, well, green? Okay? so where was she?
Sticking out of a nearby bush was a skirt. It was clearly Anna's butt sticking out , so I went over to see what she was up to.
She was staring at this cluster of rocks, or eggs? There were about seven of them,white rough edges, smooth, dark-blue shell underneath all that white, it was quite pretty though." Uh, Anna?"I said, startling her." Heeeey! These are sooo amazing! I love them ! Do you know what type of rock this is?" She gushed, eyes shining. "I've never seen this kind of rock before. I bet my dad knows!" I grabbed a rock and ran towards the village.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I burst into the meeting hall where my dad was just done with everything."Lassie? What are YOU doing here? Everything okay?" he questioned, clearly alarmed."Nothing's wrong dad! I just wanted to show you this rock  Anna and I found! We were hoping that you'd know which type of rock it is!" I held out the rock. I must say, it looked nice in the light the fire gave off, like a gleaming gem.

"Great Odin! What is it? I have no idea! but I think it looks like an egg!" He exclaimed.

"but no bird could lay an egg like that! Its huge!"I countered back. He shook his head.

"I don't know laddie." he frowned.

just then, I remembered the fire-ball-pukey-lizard-thing.

" Oh, yeah. Dad? Earlier this morning, I was attacked by a big winged-lizard thing that had horns on it, it puked out lava balls and burned my boot." I showed him my burnt boot.

He stiffened."WINGED LIZARDS? PUKING LAVA BALLS?!Holy Odin. Dragons are here. There's only one tribe that knows how to deal with dragons. The tribe of Berk."
