Adventures of Elsa Jade ~ Chapter 2 ~ The Discovery
First of all, I forgot to mention in Chapter 1 intro that pictures of all my dragons in this story can be found in my sig. Here is Elsa Jade:
Also, the island I discover in this chapter is incredibly similar to Azul Island in The Island Stallion by Walter Farley. I'm citing my sources :)
Alrighty, time for...
CHAPTER 2
The night I became a dragon tamer, everything changed. I couldn’t exactly bring Fire and Ice back to Berk and the dragon hunters. Either they would kill her, or – more likely – she would lay waste to the village in order to defend herself. It was an easier choice than you may have imagined; my closest Viking friends were dragon hunters that mostly saw me as a rival. Fire and Ice had chosen me to be her rider. She and I became outcasts that night – rogue hunters who lived in the wilderness covering most of the islands. We learned to depend on each other for survival, and our bond grew ever stronger.
Months passed, and Berk was a distant memory. My dragon and I had been flying over the ocean for several hours, when we saw a new island rising out of the sea like a mountain made of solid rock. It was a strange golden color, and there seemed to be no sign of life. As we flew closer, Fire and Ice seemed to catch a scent on the wind. She shrieked, diving straight toward the rock and pulling up at the last second, landing close to the very top. I dismounted cautiously and made my way up the remaining slope of rock. I looked down and gasped. We hadn’t discovered a huge chunk of rock sitting in the ocean. We had discovered a whole new world.
The mountain island was actually a ring of rock, like a huge round wall surrounding the most lush, beautiful valley I had ever seen. There were stands of tall trees swaying in the wind, rolling hills covered with tall grass (mostly green but with hints of blue and silver), and a pond that looked to be teeming with fish. I thought I could make out caves in the sides of the rocky walls, which would easily provide shelter for me and my friend. Fire and Ice joined me on the ridge and growled softly. I turned and stroked her head. “Well, my friend, it looks like you found us a new home.”

Yeah, I know it was short. But it would have been really long if I'd combined it with the next part.
