This story takes place in How to train your dragon 1 and the series.
Dusty Loughlin, a young warrior, lived in the island of her Tribe. But a storm broke out and dragons attacked their village. Dusty was luckily saved by her father but was left behi...
Dusty's eye shot open as a shot of pain appeared on her arm. She hissed as she fell on her back on the sandy beach, she then shivered due to her being all wet. She got up and quickly headed for a tight spot to try to warm up. It didn't work, nearly the entire island was covered in ice. Dusty sighed and breathed in and out, trying to calm herself. She then spotted two random rocks nearby, one pointy and the other was round.
Dusty sighed in relief as she successfully made a fire using those two stones, she immediately felt better and warmer. She quickly dried her clothes using the fire and put hem back on when they were all cozy. She then quickly got up and walked around, trying to find the items she was holding. She luckily found her axe, knife, map, her dragon book, a few art stuff she brought and her bag filled with fish that got caught in her bag as she was swam away. She sighed in relief and returned to her camp with all her stuff. "Okay, now where am I?" Dusty asked herself, she took out her map, which was a little wet but was still visible. She looked at her map and looked around at the different islands she sailed to with her mum. "Ugh, dammit. We've never been on THIS island." She groaned as she put her map back in her now dry bag.
Dusty then out her hands together and thought for a moment. "Okay, so this place is all icy. It's all covered in ice spikes. I heard dragon roars not long ago, and I'm on the we-" she quickly realised what she had said. "Dragon roars?!" She started to panic as she stood up and walked in circles around the fire freaking out. "Oh Odin, oh Odin, oh Odin." She murmured that repeatedly to herself.
Dusty suddenly jumped by the sound of ice cracking and a loud screech. Her eyes widened in fear as she slowly walked up to where the noise came from. She couldn't control her legs, or any part of her body, she just kept walking towards the noise, like curiosity took her over. She kept walking fowards, the scream was getting closer and closer a she walked towards it. She looked over the corner of a huge ice spike, she held her axe tightly as she got a better view of what was causing the noise.
There in front of her very eyes was a dragon, not any ordinary dragons, it was a Skrill. It's scales were dark as storm clouds and had blue markings all over it's body and head and had razors sharp teeth and talons.

Dusty noticed that the Skrill's wing was stuck in the ice, it didn't look injured but it was lying down and not moving, but it was breathing. Dusty breathed in trying to calm down, she then realized she was holding her axe, she calmly and quietly placed it down and walked up to the huge creature.
The Skrill's spikes suddenly shot up as he heard Dusty coming over, it opened its eye, staring directly at Dusty with wild yellow eyes. Dusty froze by the gaze, she stared back terrified. But she suddenly saw a spark of herself in his eyes, they were both terrified of what was going to happen. H-h-hello." Dusty chuckled nervously, sweating crazily. The skrill didn't say anything, and only blinked in response and didn't keep its eyes off of the young viking. "I see you're stuck, huh?" She asked it. The dragon grunted in response as it tried to lift its wing but couldn't due to the heavy ice. "Woah! Easy there boy! Hold on, I'll be right back." Dusty told the dragon and quickly ran back to her camp, she picked up her leftover raw fish she found in her bag and ran back along with her book. She took a quick glance at the book and saw the chapter about the skrill. "Okay, Skrill. Is one of the fastest and most intelligent of dragons in the world, is also able to understand human speech!" Dusty smiled reading that and quickly dropped her book back at her camp and ran back to where the skrill was.
"Hey boy. Or.. girl?" Dusty greeted when she saw the skrill. The dragons spikes shot up as it saw her, like it was glad. "Hey there, here look." Dusty extended the fish and showed it to it. It's eyes widened as it saw the fish, it then opened its mouth and kept it open. "Oh.. okay." Dusty walked over to the Skrill and out the fish in its mouth very quickly before backing off again, it chewed the fish and swallowed it fully. It sighed and it's eyes looked calmer, Dusty calmed down too as she saw its eyes. The dragons suddenly tried to get up but was still stuck by the ice, the fish mist have got him up! "Oh easy boy!" Dusty called, the dragon looked over at her and nodded as he stopped. Dusty gave him a confused look until she remembered. "Oh yeah! You can understand me huh? So you're male, right?" Dusty asked bending down. The skrill nodded as he puffed out smoke out of his nostrils, trying to get her attention. He looked over at the left side of left side of his body which was covered in ice and looked back at Dusty. "Oh, you want me to help you out? Hold on.. give me a minute.." she put her hand on her chin as she thought, the skrill kept a close eye on her. She then clicked her fingers. "Oh yeah! Dhu, I forgot! Wait here!" She ordered as she ran back behind a huge ice spike. The dragon gave her a "really?" look, because he was stuck and couldn't move.
Dusty then quickly came back the her axe in her hand. The skrill quickly reacted to that and his eyes widened in terror. "Oh, no no no! It's okay! I'm not going to let that touch you!" Dusty said showing the axe away, the skrill still stayed aware of her and stayed still. "Attaboy, now stay still or else you might lose a wing." Dusty told him as she started shopping the ice off of his left wing, body, leg and tail. After a few minutes, she was finally able to break all of it off from the dragon. She then suddenly realised she had saved a dragon, but let loose a WILD dragon. She quickly dropped her axe and backed off away from the skrill. The dragon got up and shook off the ice from his body and roared up onto the sky and he lits himself up in lightning. "Wow.." Dusty stared at the magnificent and beautiful creature in front of her. The dragon then stopped and shook its head left and righ and his entire body. He then stopped and looked over at the young viking, he started to walk towards her on his fours and stared at her. Dusty started to back away from him as she looked at him terrified. "Uh.. easy there big fella!" She exclaimed and yelped a she was stopped from turning back on an ice spike. She put one of her arms up in defence
The skrill did a noise in his throat as he locked his eyes at hers, he then stood up on his twos and backed away two feet from her. He then bowed his head and nodded, Dusty's eyes widened. The Skrill was grateful for what she has done for him, a dragon Is thanking her for saving it! Usually they'd just eat the person afterwards! But Dusty saw that it was all fake, what all viking said about dragons. Cruel, menacing fire-breathing flying lizards that destroy everything in their path and attack vikings for their own pleasure. It was all false.
The skrill then put his head back up and roared calmly at her, like he was saying something to her. Dusty gave him a sheepish look and shrugged. The dragon sighed, he then nodded once more and suddenly roared and took off into the sky ands he lit up in lightning. "Now that is Striking!" Dusty exclaimed as she smiled widely at the beautiful lightning dragon as it flew off.
