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."
