The Last of the Lightning Keepers
Prologue
I was a young girl when my island was conquered by the Outcasts. They came under the cover of night, and our lookouts never saw them coming. By the time we raised the alarm, half the village had been set on fire. My father was the chief of the tribe, so the Outcasts had set our house afire first. My father, Evendell the Brave, was cut down before my eyes. My mother yelled for me to run, to hide, but I had been frozen with fear. An Outcast with an axe charged towards my parents. Finally I began to run as fast as I could. But I wasn't fast enough. I was captured, and carried off to the boats. The last thing I saw of my village was the last of the burned buildings collapsing as the Outcast ship took me away.

Chapter 1
9 years later...
"Girl! Come here!" a harsh voice ordered. I hurried along the stone corridor in the home of the Outcast commander that I served, Savage. "What do you require, master?" I asked. "My armour needs to be polished, and when your doing that you can dust my stuffed dragon head collection," he commanded. "Yes master." I scurried back along the winding corridors. My name is Azura. Azura Rain, daughter of Evendell the Brave and Hvedra. I am 14 and the years I have spent here have been the most difficult of my short life.
After I finish dusting the dragon heads and polishing Savage's armour, I return to my small rocky cell where I spend most of my time. It has walls cut out of the rough, stone walls and nothing but a small woven mat where I sleep. The only real posession I have is a small blue stone pendant carved in the shape of a dragon. I had been wearing it when I had been taken, and ever since I have carefully kept it hidden. I had been waiting for ANY oppertunity to escape, and when it came I almost lost it.
It was one day when I had been serving Savage his supper, a messenger rushed in and delivered a scroll. Savage snapped open the scroll, and as he read his expression changed from irritated at being interrupted, to buisness-like. He rolled up the scroll again, and curtly ordered "Girl, go bring me my armour. We hunt dragon tonight!" Once my master was all geared up for battle, I went with him down to the docks and we boarded the lead ship alongside Alvin himself.
Withing a few hours, we had set sail and soon we had come to a large island. What was strange about it was that the island was completely barren, as if it had been scoured by winds until there was nothing left, not even grass. Standing up front, I was terrified when a HUGE dragon swooped down from the clouds. It was like no ordinary dragon that had been in the attacks. "There it is. The Skrill!" Alivin said triumphantly. "Now men, be ready!" Suddenly, two guards grabbed me by the arms, and started to march me towards the shore. I frantically twisted and squirmed, as they brought me to one of the boulders that had accumulated on the island, and as they started to chain me to the rock. "Why are you doing this?!" I cried. Alvin said "Ready, when the Skrill comes to feast on the girl, capture it at all costs!" The two guards quickly ran for the ships when the Skrill saw me and started to swoop down. The Outcast soldiers prepared a strange contraption that I had never seen before, moving it to point at the dragon. As the dragon got closer, I closed my eyes, prepared to feel the searing heat of its fire as it crisped me to a charred husk. But then I heared a twang, and a startled roar. Cautiously, I opened my eyes. The Skrill had been pinned down by a large metal net. It roared thunderously, as the soldiers approached it. As Savage directed the Outcasts to move the dragon onto the ship, Alvin watched as one of the most powerful dragons in the archipelago was chained and muzzeled. He laughed, and turned as they began to sail away. I realized that they intended to leave me here to drown as the island flooded at high tide! "Wait!" I called frantically "You can't leave me here!" Alvin turned and said "Oh,but you are of no more use to me. So what ever is not useful to me I.... dispose of." Laughing, he turned away as the rising water began to quickly cover me.
As the icy water began to close over my head, I tried desperatly to win free of the chains. It was no use. I was starting to lose conciousness when my blue dragon pendant began to glow. The glow spread over the water and formed a glowing bubble of air around me, severing the chains. By then I was unconcious from lack of air, and unbeknowest to me, the bubble was swept up by a swift current and eventually washed up on an island. Once I was out of the water, the glow vanished and the bubble dissolved. I was safe. For now at least.

Chapter 2
Berk
The Dragon Academy was out flying on a training exercise. Ruffnut and Tuffnut were swooping over the beach when, they saw a strange shape on the shore. Curious, they broke off from the main group, and spiraled down to land. Hiccup saw them land, and spiraled down after them. "Guys, we are doing a training exercise! You can't just fly off to investingate whatever!" He said. Then he realized that the twins were fighting over something on the beach. He walked forward with Toothless and saw that it was a girl. The rest of the riders landed, and Astrid ran over. "Hiccup, what..." Then she saw the girl. "Come on guys, we have to take her back to the village." He picked the girl up, and started to put her on Toothless. "Uh, Hiccup, remember the LAST time we found a strange girl on the beach." "Yes Astrid, but we have to help. And anyway, she probably wont be an Outcast spy." They flew off, back to Berk.
Hiccup flew to his house, and carried the girl inside. Stoick asked "Who is this?" Hiccup responded "Well, we found her washed up on the beach, and I thought she could stay here." "Very well" Stoick said as he put his helmet on his head and walked out the door. Hiccup laid the girl down on the bed that was underneath the stairs. When he turned away, he noticed that she was muttering in her sleep. Hiccup paused for a moment to listen: "No.... Alvin, Savage! don't......leave.....drowning." Alvin! Hiccup thought, hmmmm.
When I woke up, the first thing I saw was a big black dragon head looming over me. I screamed and scrambled backwards against the wall. A strange boy with brown hair, walked around the black dragon and said "Toothless, down bud." He turned to me and said "Hi, I'm Hiccup and this is Toothless. We found you washed up on the beach yesterday." "Where am I?" I asked. "Your on Berk" The boy...no, Hiccup, said. My memories came rushing back: The Skrill, being left to drown, and then...a fuzzy memory of being surrounded by a blue glow before darkness enveloped me. I reached up to feel my pendant, but my fingers closed on empty space. It was gone! Frantically I asked "Where's my necklace?" "Don't worry it's right here," Hiccup said, holding it out to me. I took it and ran my fingers over the smooth surface. "What kind of stone is that anyway?" He asked. Responding, I said "I don't know. I was wearing it when I was kidnapped by the Outcasts nine years ago." "Well, your safe now. You want to see the village?" He asked. "Sure."
I followed Hiccup outside, staying safely away from Toothless. "This is Berk" Hiccup said waving his arm at the village down below. "We get lots of snow, plenty of hail, and quite a bit of rain. Most people would move but it's our home."

Chapter 3
Unrest
After a while, I began to get more comfortable on Berk. It was still VERY strange to see dragons walking around the village, and even stranger to see vikings ride them. After the first week or so, I moved to the Great Hall so that Hiccup and his father could have their house back. My small room off the hall was cozy and so much BIGGER than my cell back on Outcast Island that my openly stunned expression when Hiccup first showed it to me made him laugh. One day I woke up and saw that there was a commotion in the main part of the Great Hall. Peeking out, I saw that an old man along with most of the village were shouting at Stoick. "We want the Outcast GONE!!!!" They were shouting. Stoick bellowed "SILENCE!!!! Now, Azura...." He was talking about me! "She is NOT an Outcast spy, she was left by them to drown. I will not see a guest of Berk treated this way." For a moment they listened, but then the old man stood up and shouted "Do you remember the LAST time a girl was found washed up on our beach? She almost got us all killed by betraying us to the Outcasts!!!" "That's enough Mildew!" said Stoick. Mildew hobbled away shouting "Mark my words Stoick, that girl will bring us no end of trouble." The doors swung shut with an ominous thud as the crowd dispersed. Still peering out, I saw Stoick and Hiccup heading towards me. I quickly shut the door and scrambled back into the bed. One of them knocked, and I replied in what I hoped was a sleepy voice "Come in." They came in and Stoick said "Azura, there has been some... unrest over you coming here." "Oh. I can leave. I'm sure the Outcasts will be happy to have one of their slaves back," I said, unable to keep a note of bitterness out of my voice. Uncomfortably, Stoick said "I'm sure things will calm down in a few days, but until then I have to ask you to stay in here. After things cool down you'll be able to go about the village." "Okay, sir" I responded. "I'm glad you understand," Stoick said as he left the room. I sat back down on the bed and fingered my necklace, before realizing that Hiccup was still in the room. "Hi. Well I thought if you get bored, here's something to read." Hiccup held you a thick book with a curled dragon etched into the brown leather of the cover. "It's the Book of Dragons, where we have documented all of our dragon knowladge." "Wow Hiccup, thanks." "Any time. Well I have to go help the other dragon trainers." He said. "Yep, bye." He walked out of the room, and I opened the book. The first thing I wanted to see was the page on the Skrill, if there was one. "Strike Class, Tracker Class, here we go. Fear Class." I found the Skrill page, and avidly read through it. It said that the Skrill was the symbol of the Berserkers and that the feared beast could shoot lightning. Then, suddenly curious, I placed my pendant next to the picture. It was a perfect match except for the fact that my pendant was smaller. I sat up, pulling my pendant off the page, reading a small section to one side of the page. It said that the Skrill has proven to be untaimable, but legends still persist that a group of people long ago were able to tame Skrills. They were known as the Lightning Keepers, and the legend says that they were bonded with a Skrill at the age of 14, which would be their partner for life. The younglings would go out into the wild on their own in search of the Skrill that had been carved onto a pendant that each child was given at birth.
The book slipped from my hands and fell to the floor with a thump. I was a Lightning Keeper.
Here you go, the next chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 4
Of Skrills and Outcasts
On Outcast Island:
Alvin scoweled. His spy had brought news from Berk that the Savage's slave who he had left to drown on the island, had been rescued by Hiccup and was now living on Berk. He was not happy at all. First, his soldiers had made no progress with training the Skrill. Second, that ex-slave that was living on Berk. He tapped his chin thoughtfully, then suddenly commanded " Savage, bring me Shadow." Savage went white. He hated going near the deadliest assasin in the archapelago. Out of the shadows came a slithering voice "No need, Alvin. Shadow is already here." "Good" Alvin said curtly. "I have a mission for you. A slave has escaped to Berk. She may be a liability in our plans to conquer that accursed island." "As you wish" the voice said. Staring down at the Skrill, Alvin laughed evilly. "Do not worry, slave. You will not see the distruction of your new home, because you'll already be DEAD!!!"
On Berk:
I woke up sweating from a nightmare. I had been having the same one for a few days now, and it was always the same: Alvin riding the skrill, and tearing through Berk with lightning. I was captured, and brought before Alvin. He always laughed before yanking on the Skrill's reins to send a bolt of lightning at me. Then just before the lightning hit me I woke up. Shaking my head, I got up and dressed. After my discovery in the Book of Dragons, I had been trying to find more info about the Lightning Keepers. I had looked through books of old legends, ancient myths, but had come up with nothing. Today i was going to go out to the woods to maybe find the Skrill that would supposedly be my life partner. Since I had been here for about a month now, Stoick had given me permission to roam the village at will. About an hour into my wanderings, I saw a scorch mark on one of the pine trees that looked suspiciously like a lightning strike. Looking around, I saw a flash of blue and gold through the trees. Racing after it, I was suddenly bowled over by a strange dragon. It threw me onto my back and I was left looking up at the face of a large blue and gold Skrill that had lightning crackling through it's frill. The Skrill opened its mouth, and I closed my eyes, prepared to be fried by lightning, when instead I got licked by a very large slobbery tounge. Opening my eyes, I realized that the Skrill had a name that resonated in my mind like a brass gong: Dawnstrike. The Skrill, no, Dawnstrike, got off my chest and I slowly got up. Then a black dragon came shooting through the trees. It was Toothless and Hiccup! They got between me and Dawnstrike. "Azura, stay back! There's a Skrill!" Hiccup shouted. Running between Toothless and Dawnstrike, I said "STOP! Don't hurt her. Hiccup, this is Dawnstrike, my dragon." "W-w-What?!" He said, stunned. "Hiccup, I am the last of the Lightning Keepers, an ancient group of people who bond with a Skrill for life."

Chapter 5
Friends and Assasins
When I got back to the village with Dawnstrike, a crowd gathered around us when we landed. They packed in so tightly that Hiccup and I could not get off Toothless. Then a voice rang out. "Okay, everyone move along." Grumbling, all of the massed people started to drift away. A dark-haired girl moved through the dispersing crowd, and said "Hi, I'm Aleah. You must be Azura, the one everyone's talking about." "Yep, that's me. Thanks for getting all those people to go away" I reponded. "No problem," Aleah said. With my new friend, I walked back up to my room in the Great Hall. "So what did you name your dragon?" Aleah asked. "Her name is Dawnstrike" I responded. Since it had been a long day, Aleah left and I went to bed, with Dawnstrike acting as a footwarmer at the foot of the bed. When I was just drifting off to sleep, a black figure dropped noiselessly from the wooden beams of the ceiling. Immediatly I was wide awake. The figure moved towards the bed, and I saw the dim glint of a knife in the half light. As it moved closer, I suddenly sprung upright and hurled myself on it. We struggled on the floor, and I succeded in pulling the figure's hood off. I was frozen with shock for a moment. The figure was a man with a badly scarred face! Taking advantage of my confusion, the man took the oppertunity to swing his knife around and try to slice my leg. Just then, the door flung open and Hiccup, Astrid, and Aleah burst in. Hiccup was holding an ornate metal shield, which some how a bolas came flying out of it and neatly wrapped up the man. Running over, Aleah helped me up. Astrid and Hiccup were standing over the man, when he sliced through the ropes, and tackled Hiccup. Once he had an opening, he raced through the door and vanished. Astrid helped Hiccup up, and Hiccup said, rubbing his head "Well, it looks like Alvin does know you are here, Azura and he doesn't like it."

Chapter 6
Flight Lessons
On Outcast Island:
"What do you mean you FAILED!!!!" Alvin bellowed at Shadow. "I mean, the girl's friends managed to stop me," said Shadow. "But I have more news. The girl has trained a Skrill." "WHAT!!!!!!!!!!" Alvin shouted. "Shadow, you will go back to Berk, and BRING ME THAT GIRL!! She will train my Skrill for me, and then we will dispose of her." He commanded. "As you wish, Alvin."
On Berk:
I absentmindedly stroked Dawnstrike, only half listening to Hiccup's battle tactics lesson. "So, Azura, can you tell us anything about the defenses on Outcast Island?" Hiccup asked me. "Who, me," I said, startled. "Yes, you" Hiccup said. "Well, they have been developing a netter trap that is fired like a catapult. They used it to bring down the Skrill that they captured. There are also the normal defenses like catapults, archers, and they have also figured out a way to launch explosives into the air," I explained. "All of those are bad news. We'll have to figure out a way to dodge those if they attack" Hiccup said. "Another thing, Dawnstrike looks like she's about ready to ride now." "Really!" I exclaimed. "Yep. Skrills grow very quickly." "When do we start?" I eagerly asked. "How about... right now?" He suggested with a smile.
I sat on Dawnstrike's back, holding the leather reins. "Now, all you have to do is gently nudge her, and she should fly," Hiccup instructed. I gently tapped my boots against Dawnstrike's sides, and she sprang into the air. We flew around the arena twice, and on the third lap I began to be more comfortable. Instinctivly holding on tighter, Dawnstrike did a flip, and then we landed back on the ground. "Great job" Hiccup praised. Suddenly, Dawnstike shot through the gate of the arena, and together we flew high, high up into the clouds. When we dived down, I saw a piece of driftwood with something on it. We swooped low over it, and realized that there was a person on it. Carefully not touching the water (Skrills can electricute themselves if they touch water) We snatched up the person and flew back to Berk.
Once we got back, Hiccup helped take the person to the infirmary. After a few days, the person woke up. He said that his name was Einar, and that his ship had been attacked by Outcasts. Stoick invited him to stay, and later that night in Einar's small room, Einar pulled out a small Terrible Terror with a metal cannister attatched to its leg. He pulled out a roll of parchment and scribbled: Alvin, I have succesfully entered Berk and no one suspects a thing. I will be back with the girl within the week. Shadow.
He put the message in the metal cannister and sent the terror out the window. As it flew away into the dark sky, Shadow grinned, and turned away.
oooooo! good chapter,oh and if you are wondering wy i am doing this in blue then here is the ansr
I DO IT CUS I CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D
you could make this be the story where stoick also finds skullcrusher.
Good idea, but I don't know if I can work that into the story. I will see about it. Thanks for the idea and please comment if you like the story.
I keep checking to see if it's done.
Very good.
Chapter 7
A Dragon for the Chief
(Before I begin, the idea that this is where Stoick finds Skullcrusher is credited to dragon920439)
Not long after Hiccup found the Thunderdrum hatchlings Bing, Bam, and Boom, and Thornado stayed with them, Stoick had been unusually quiet and sad. Hiccup said that it was because he had really bonded with Thornado. So Hiccup secretly asked for the help of all of the dragon riders including me, Aleah, and a new girl named Annabeth Everdeen. We split up and went searching Berk. Then we heard a warning call from the village! Flying back as fast as we could, we discovered that it was a rogue rumblehorn that was attacking the storehouse. Circling over the wreckage, Hiccup outlined his plan. Me, Aleah, and Annabeth dove down trying to herd the rumblehorn away from the food. Aleah's zippleback, Duel and Combat, breathed a small cloud of gas and sparked it, creating a small explosion that got the rumblehorn moving. But it ran in the other direction, heading straight for a little boy. Stoick lept onto the rumblehorn's back and grasping its horns, directed it away. He ran the dragon straight into a wall, making it dazed and knocking Stoick off. The other riders landed, blocking the dragon's escape. It ran back and forth like a caged animal. Stoick got up, and stood in front of the dragon. Suddenly, as if driven by instinct, Stoick raised his hand in front of the rumblehorn's snout. Hesitating, the rumblehorn looked at him, then pushed his snout forward to touch Stoick's hand. Stoick turned to the rest of us and said "I would like to introduce you to Skullcrusher,...my dragon." Hiccup couldn't help himself. "Skullcrusher? Really?" "Are you protesting what your chief does?" "No."
Not long afterwards, a common sight around Berk was their chief soaring through the sky, happy again.

Chapter 8
Kidnapped
Shadow had been waiting for almost a week, looking for the perfect moment to censored his target. One day when he was watching Azura, he saw her and that skrill of hers crash while dodging through the forest. This was his chance! Sliding out the window, he ran through the forest, and found her in a clearing, laughing. He pulled out a slim blowgun from his pouch, and slid a dart into it. With one shot, he hit the skrill in the leg. As it slumped over, Azura scrambled over to it. She looked up and saw Shadow lurking in the trees. The blood drained from her face, and she whispered "Shadow", right before his dart hit her right on the arm and she slumped over. Pulling a rope from his pouch, he proceded to tie her up, and sling her over his back. He also removed the dart from the skrill's leg. Shadow never left any traces. Walking into the forest, he headed for the small beach where he had left a boat.
Once he got there, he slung Azura off his back onto the boat, and pushed off. Leaping in, Shadow took the oars and began to row straight for Outcast Island.
(Sorry for short chapter, and the long wait. I have been busy.)
This is really interesting, I like it:)
Thanks Amberleaf7. I will have the next chapter up soon.
Chapter 9
Kidnapped Part 2
When I woke up, I was in some sort of stone room. I tried to move, but I was chained to the wall. All of a sudden, my memories came flooding back. Crashing in the forest, Dawnstrike falling unconcious, and... Shadow! He had kidnapped me! I heard footsteps coming down the hallway, and I quickly slumped my head and went limp pretending to be unconcious still. Suddenly, the door swung open, and ice cold water cascaded over my head. I let out a strangled yelp, and looked up. Alvin, Savage, and Shadow were standing in front of me. "Hello, Azura. Welcome home." Alvin said grinning evilly. I asked "Why did you kidnap me? You said yourself that I was of no more use to you." "Oh, but you are of use to us. For now at least. Tell us what you know about Berk and the dragon riders." "No" I replied. "Oh, but you will." Alvin snapped his fingers, and Savage hauled on a lever revealing Dawnstrike chained. "Let, Dawnstrike go! She hasn't done anything" I cried. "If you do not tell us what you know, I will kill the beast" Alvin threatened. "I will leave you alone to.. consider my offer. Make sure you make the right decision." After they walked out, I slumped as far as I could in my chains, and began to cry. It was an impossible decision. My home or my dragon. As my tears landed on my necklace, it slowly began to glow. The glow grew brighter, lighting up the room. Where the chains touched me, lightning began to crackle. I should have been electrocuted, but I wasn't. As the lightning grew brighter, the chains flew off, and were held by a nimbus of glowing light. Slowly, the chains fell to the floor. I dropped to the stone floor, and immediatly ran over to Dawnstrike. On instict, I laid my hands on the chains and they were sliced through by lightning, and fell to the floor. I stared at my hands in wonder. Then remembering my situation, I walked over to the door, and tried to open it, just as I heard a laugh that I remembered so well. Alvin had been watching me from a high ledge. As I turned, guards grabbed me and chained my hands. "I will most definatly let you and your skrill go, now" Alvin said laughing, as they dragged me away.
They took me to a high cliff, with the restless sea crashing around sharp rocks at the bottom. Alvin stepped forward and said "My dear Azura, you must understand. I cannot let you have even the possibility of escape, because I would be giving a weapon of extraordinary power to the Berkians. Therefore, I have no option but to remove you from the equation." He motioned with his hand and the guards pushed me to the edge of the cliff. Alvin said "Goodbye, Azura Rain," as the guards pushed me off the cliff.
Screaming, I fell towards the rocks, expecting to be smashed to bits any moment. Then suddenly, something snatched me from the air. Slowly cracking open one eye, I saw that I was being carried by Aleah on her zippleback. Opening my other eye, I saw that the other dragon riders were attacking Alvin! Aleah shouted "Hiccup, I've got her!" Hiccup heard her, and signaling to the other riders they swooped away.
Back on Berk, I ran over to Hiccup, and frantically asked "Did you rescue Dawnstrike as well?" He said "Azura, I'm sorry, but Alvin had her guarded too well. Dawnstrike is still on Outcast Island."
Dawnstrike is still on OI!
Great story! But is Aleah ever going to fight? Shes good at fightning!
Chapter 10
Rescue Attempts
I swung my bag off my back onto the small row boat I had stolen from Bucket, just as Hiccup and the other riders landed. "Why are you doing this Azura?" Hiccup asked. "We can help you. You don't have to do this alone." "You don't understand, Hiccup" I responded. "Actually, I do. I know what it's like to have your dragon taken from you and threatened." "No, I mean how it feels when it's like I'm missing half of me. You could never understand." "True, but at least let me help." This made me pause. "I suppose I can't stop you." "Definatly not." Hiccup responded. "Fine. I'll let you come with me." I grudgingly said. After mounting Toothless, we took off.
After a while, we crossed into Outcast waters. Landing on a small ledge, I hopped off Toothless as the other riders landed. I said "Alvin will be keeping Dawnstrike in the dragon arena. It's a short walk from here, but it will be heavily guarded." I headed off with Annabeth and Aleah, while the others flew off to distract the guards. I carefully climbed down from the ledge, and together we set off for the arena.
Once we got there, I ran over to Dawnstrike, who was in a cage in the center of the arena. I said to Aleah and Annabeth "Stand back." Laying my hands over the chains, I closed my eyes, hoping that it would work. Lightning shot from my hands, breaking the chains. They clattered to the floor, and then I remembered that my friends were standing right behind me. I turned around, and saw their shocked faces. "Wow. How-what-how did you do that?" Annabeth asked. "I don't actually know. I discovered it while I was imprisoned." Aleah looked up, and said "We have to run. NOW!" "Why?" I asked. "Because Alvin has a metal cage hanging over us." We all started to run, just as the cage slammed over us. Alvin walked over nonchalantly, and said "Well, Azura, you have caused me much trouble. So much trouble, in fact that I am forced to remove you. Before I would have kept you alive in my prison, but you have forced my hand. Take the other two away." Guards grabbed Aleah and Annabeth, chained their hands, and hauled them off down a corridor. Another set of guards lifted the heavy metal cage onto a cart, and the last thing I saw headed down the corridor was Alvin laughing.
Dawnstrike AND Azura are on OI!? plus Aleah Annabeth Hiccup and the rest!? how will get away!? NEXT CHAPTER! you can not stop now! they must get free!
Chapter 11
The Final Battle
Aleah and Annabeth were thrown into a cell that had been carved into the rock of the cliffs. As the guards walked away, Aleah kicked the bars. "We should be out there, helping Azura. We have to escape." "But how?" Annabeth asked. "I have an idea. Listen closely...." Annabeth yelled "Guard, guard! The other prisoner has escaped!" The outcast guards came running. There was only one prisoner in the cell. They opened the door of the cell, and then Aleah dropped down on the guards from the craggy roof of the cell. Annabeth grabbed the keys from the belt of one of the guards, and together they raced out of the cell, and locked the guards in. "Now let's go help Azura" Aleah said as they ran down the corridor.
After we were captured, Dawnstrike and I were seperated, and I was taken to a small stone cell. They tossed me in, and I struggle upright with my bound hands, and raced over to the bars. They slammed the door in my face, and walked away chuckling. Slumping down on a small ridge of rock, I cried.
Aleah and Annabeth were half way down one of the passages to the dragon arena, when they heard boots marching their way. Looking at each other, they darted down another small passage and saw Outcast guards march past. Annabeth heard one of them say "I hear that Alvin is going to execute that slave and her skrill. I'm glad. That evil dragon has tried to electrocute me multiple times." Annabeth looked at Aleah. Aleah whispered once the guards were past, "We have to rescue Dawnstrike. Then we can rescue Azura." "But how will that help?" Annabeth asked. "We can ride Dawnstrike to rescue Azura. That way we can get there faster and we'll have an extra weapon."
I was sleeping when the guards came. They hauled me out of my cell and marched me along the stone passages until we came to a cliff that was above the sea. There Alvin had Dawnstrike chained next to him. "Dawnstrike!" I cried, as I vainly strained against the guards in an attempt to reach her. "Oh, do not worry Azura, you will be reuntied with your precious dragon." The guards chained me to Dawnstrike, and Alvin said "Well, I have waited for this moment for a long time. The day when you will die." He motioned to the guards. They pushed me and Dawnstrike to the edge of the cliff, and Alvin told me "Goodbye Azura Rain" as the guards pushed Dawnstrike and I off the cliff to drown.
Aleah and Annabeth arrived at a cliff above where Azura was, and were just in time to see her and Dawnstrike thrown off the cliff below them. "No!" cried Annabeth and Aleah. Alvin looked up and yelled "Guards! Bring me those vikings!" Guards came rushing up behind them, and Aleah readied herself to fight. They put up a good fight, but were finally subdued, and brought before Alvin.
As I sank through the dark, bitterly cold water, I tried desperatly to break free of my bonds. It was no use, and just as I began to lose conciousness, the water lit up with a blue glow. I stared at my necklace, which was emitting the glow. It formed into a bubble around me and Dawnstrike, and we began to rise. I broke our chains, and then I climbed onto Dawnstrike's back, and readied ourselves to fly as soon as we were at the surface.
Aleah and Annabeth fought against their chains as Alvin said "Well, you are apparently acomplices of the late Azura, thus you shall suffer the same fate-" He was cut off by something shooting out of the water. He turned around and saw a blue and gold skrill crackling with electricity with a girl on its back that was holding a crackling blue nimbus of lightning in her hand. Aleah and Annabeth were stunned. It was Azura on Dawnstrike! Alvin was shocked. "How did you escape! You were supposed to die!" "You should not have messed with my friends, Alvin. And now you will pay the ultimate price!" With those words, Azura shot lightning from her hands, lifting Alvin into the sky, and then tossing him into the turbulent sea. After Alvin vanished beneath the dark water, Azura broke Aleah and Annabeth's chains, and landed. As soon as she landed, Azura lept off Dawnstrike and ran over to them. "How did you do that?" Aleah asked, shocked. "I- I have become what I was always meant to be. A true Lightning Keeper." Hiccup landed along with the other riders. "We saw what happened," Hiccup said.
I said "Well, let's go home." I mounted Dawnstrike, and together we soared home, to Berk. As we flew away, I looked at my friends. In the moment of truth they had stood by me, a slave girl who had found her true family at last.
As the dragons flew away, a crumpled figure stood on the beach, and shook his fist at the flying dragons. "You will never escape me. I will return and I WILL kill you Azura Rain!" Alvin said, an evil grin splitting his face.
