I crawl from my den cautiously. I just located a new scent, one that I've smelt on other dragons. The scent of a Viking. I myself have never seen a Viking, so I'm not sure how to react to this.

I crawl under the frozen ferns and spot something hunched over, it's wings splayed at its sides while another dragon nuzzles it worriedly.

"Star, I'm fine. I just lost control," the thing hunched over says. Huh. Just then, a bright flash appears. Once the light fades, the things wings are gone. That's when I realize something. The thing is a Viking. but then a flash of blue lights crept over me...

"Star...is that...another nightfury?" The viking asks.  The other nightfury nods while replying. "I-it is!  I'm not the last of them!  There's more of us!"

  I tilt my head as the viking laughs,  seeming to understand the other dragon.  I creep out from under the ferns and crawl up to the viking,  neither of us sure on what to do.b

  The viking female puts her hand out to try to pet my head, but I back up an growl.  "Don't touch me!" I growled, my teeth showing.  Her hand goes back an she nods.  "Okay,  I wont touch you.  Only when you're ready."

  This surprises me.  All of the other dragons that ive encountered say that the vikings can't understand us, an speak different than we do. 

  Looking over to the other nightfury, I see her nuzzling the female viking.  The Viking laughs while stroking the other fury's head.  Can I actually trust this viking...?
