Do you ever have that feeling? That feeling where you swear you could just soar, and for once in your life actually be free? Well I've been there, everyday of my life since I moved here actually, although Hiccup says it's a pain to live here I disagree. I'm saying "here" a lot aren't I? Well here is Berk, although it snows 9 months of the year and hails the other 3 I love Berk. Or at least I've grown to love it and the people who live here, I didn't always live on Berk...let me tell you a little about my old village, Fresca.
I was (number) years old at the time and I had a loving family, every child's dream family i would say, a mother and father who love each other just as much as they love me. I was the only child of course and I surely didn't mind, although you might think I'm a spoiled brat I've grown to appreciate the little things in life. I was used to raids even at a young age it was just a common thing for Viking villages, but this raid wasn't exactly like the others. It was more than a raid it was a full on attack Fresca had always had many rivalries with other villages since we had the perfect island, and perfect life in general. All of our enemies joined as one to take over the Island of Fresca. All I remember was me crawling out of our burnt house coughing and choking on the smoke; the last thing I saw was my father and mother tucking me into a little basket and setting it on one of the trade boats and telling me they love me before I was sent off...Next thing I knew a few days went by and I was on this mysterious island called Berk and I've lived here for(number) years now.
Bit of a sad story I guess, even though I lost my family and many friends I've made new ones and started a new life here on Berk. The villagers love me and I love them i consider myself friends with almost everybody on this island...except for ,ugh, Astrid Hofferson. I could NOT stand her!! Always prancing around thinking she's the best and people supporting her and just making her ego grow bigger. The worst part is my best friend has a crush on her, Hiccup, yup the talking fishone, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. Let me tell you about how we met.
The day I arrived at Berk I was particularly hungry having not eaten in a couple of days and even if I did I would have most likely thrown it back up from being seasick. So I decided to look for some food. I was a small girl and I nearly got trampled by these giant, buff Vikings and nobody even seemed to notice me, not that I would've expected them to. I saw a few baskets full of fish right in front of a house and decided "why not take 1 or 2, this place is surrounded by water anyways." So I creeped my way towards the basket and opened the lid; right before I grabbed a fish the door of the house opened; I jumped and hid behind the basket. When I opened my eyes again they met beautiful green ones, taking in all of this strangers features I saw they had freckles, green eyes, and brown auburn kind of hair that comes over their eyes a bit. If my guess was right it was a boy just about my age he looked just as shocked as I was and called for his father. Next thing I know I see a giant man with a ginger beard and mustache and a helmet on, I cringed a bit at his towering figure. He picked me up and said "Are ya lost?" I nodded and that's how my story begins.
I've been living with Hiccup and Chief Stoick ever since and it's been a great experience don't get me wrong, but I want something new. Its always the same old same old dragons come burn stuff, steal stuff, destroy stuff, and we always get ready for battle and scream a whole bunch it's not a very exciting experience if u've been doing it for the last years.
