Raven was walking along the edge of the cliff waiting for another dragon raid to happen. But she saw no dragons at all. The crisp, clear morning had a silent breeze. Raven decided to take a walk in the forest. She was listening to the birds chirping and her almost silent footsteps. She heard a rustle in a bush up ahead.

Dragon, she thought. 

She pulled out her double-sided axe and walked carefully and stealthily to the bush. Then she ran and jumped over, ready to swing her weapon, but there was nothing to swing at, just a few silver dragon scales. The only known dragon the was silver was the Silver Fury, even more powerful than the Night Fury. The Silver Fury blended in to the sky, day or night. Dawn or dusk was when it was at its weakest. She took the scales back to her house and definitly concluded that the rustling was from a Silver Fury. No one ever survived to tell a tale of the Silver Fury. She would be the first. 

The next morning she woke with a start from the horns sounding. 

Dragon raid, she thought.

She jumped out of bed and grabbed her double sided axe. The morning was filled with excitement from Raven to get her first dragon head to prove she wasn't weak, but her plan rendered unsuccesful when the raid ended and she was still empty handed. She went to take a walk in the woods to try to find a Silver Fury but was cut short by Gobber scolding her. 

"You have to learn to fight the dragons or you will be a disgrace to the Hoffersons! Expeccialy your mother, Astrid. She learned to fight the beasts, but her friend was just like you. Scrawny, but he excelled in dragon traing. But, before he got the chance to kill the Monsterous Nightmare, he was taken by a Night Fury. The only outcome was death. Poor Hiccup," Gobber said, "such a fine lad.

"He was next in line to be cheif, you know," Gobber started tearing up. Raven gave him a pat on the back, before she headed off to the woods.

"Don't worry!" She yelled back to Gobber. "I will make her proud!" 

And with that she jogged into the woods.
