One day, Earik was walking in the forest when he saw a Tiny Tooth (baby) Stormcutter that was lost and hurt, Earik thought of getting it some fish has he amused that he would be hungry, he ran back to his hut to get some fish for the Stormcutter. Earik came back with a bag of fish and went searching for the Stormcutter, later he found him and slowly came close had threw some fish near the Stormcutter, The Stormcutter ate the fish happily, Earik gave him more, The Stormcutter ate, he started to like Earik, suddenly a voice came, calling Earik,

The voice:Earik! Time to eat!

The Stormcutter got scared and ran off and hid in the bushes, suddenly from the direction the voice was heard from, came Vildor, Earik's dad, with Stonecrusher, Vildor's dragon partner.

Vildor:Come on Earik it's time to eat, you are probably hungry, let's go.
Earik:ok dad...

They headed off to there house to eat, Earik thought of The Stormcutter the whole day, but he didn't tell anyone. Even while sleeping he thought of him.

The Next Day....

Vildor:Come on Earik wake up! The Dragon Academy will start in few hours!
Earik:yeah dad, I am waking up...
Vildor:good I made you some breakfast, come on.
Earik:ooh what is it?
Vildor:bread and veggies
Earik:nice,ok I am coming
Vildor:good, I'll set the plates

They finish their food and Earik goes to his room thinking about The Stormcutter. Later, I'm few hours, he got ready to go to his classes.

Earik:Bye dad!
Vildor:Bye, be safe!
Earik:Ok dad!

Later he meets up with Ivar and Grace his friends.

Ivar&Grace: hey Earik!
Earik:hey guys!
Grace:So ready for the classes?
Earik:Always!
Ivar:Then come on we'll be late otherwise

They head to their classes....
Later, after the classes......

Earik:bye guys!! Meet y'all later!
Ivar:ok bye!
Grace:bye!
Earik:bye!(thinking: I should go back to the forest to find that Stormcutter)

Earik secretly gets some fish and goes back to the forest to find the Stormcutter, later the Stormcutter smells the fish and comes to Earik.
Earik gives him some fish to eat.
The Stormcutter eats amd looks at Earik, Earik remembered his training from his classes.

Earik:They said to pull your arm out and let the dragon come to you! I will do the same!

Earik pulls his arms out, closes his eyes and looks away, The Stormcutter tilts it's head confused, smells it, and comes closer, Then The Stormcutter puts his head on Earik's hand and closes his eyes, Earik feels it and looks at the Stormcutter in amazement as he just gained the trust of a dragon, in fact a rare dragon as Stormcutters are very rare near Berk. The Stormcutter looks at Earik happily.

Earik:I will call you BlueNight!

Earik gave him the fish that he had. Then he started to walk back to his house but BlueNight was following him behind, Earik looks back and says...

Earik:Mmmm.... You want to come with me?
BlueNight growls in agreement.
Earik:I mean, I don't think dad will be that angry at me, and anyway I'll get a dragon from the school, instead why not I keep you with me!
Well, let's go home buddy!

Earik takes BlueNight to his house and BlueNight happily comes.
Later....

Earik:Hey dad!!
Vildor:Coming!....ok what happen?
Earik:Look at what I found!
Shows BlueNight, BlueNight smiles with his tongue out.
Vildor:Aa.... You found yourself a Stormcutter! You have your own Dragon partner!!! That is amazing, now you will be a Defender like me!
Earik:You not angry?
Vildor:Why would be son? I am proud that a ferocious dragon like a stormcutter trusted you!
Earik:Oh, thanks dad! Also I named him BlueNight! Because he has blue spots with black scales.
Vildor:That's a great name! But remember you have to take care of him, bath him, feed him, play with him.
Earik:Don't worry dad! I'll handle it! Now can I go and tell Grace and Ivar?
Vildor:Go! I will tell my friends too!
Earik:Ok Dad! Bye!
Vildor:Bye son! Be back for lunch!
Earik:ok!

Earik runs to tell Grace and Ivar about BlueNight. Earik tells them the whole story behind how he found BlueNight.
