Greetings, new and old readers! I bet you thought I was gone, since this is the first time in a long while I've actually posted something on here instead of read other peoples work. Well, I'm not dead yet, and now I'm back with a somewhat new story.

This is a story I started probably about a year ago, so bare with me if it's a bit rough at first since I just recovered the files and everything. Gave it a quick glance and fixed some grammar errors before deciding it will have to do for now. But, seeing as how the new How To Train Your Dragon 2 is set to release next month, I decided why not.

Give you all something to take up your time until we get to see that new movie.

So, without further ado, I present to you my newish story, and I hope you all enjoy and remember to review afterwards.

You know, living on Berk, you sometimes don't realize that we may not be the only ones who get along with dragons. I mean, there are plenty of people in the world who still want them dead, unfortunately.

That's why it came as a real surprise to everyone when we heard about someone else training dragons.

Being the Dragon Trainer of Berk, I decided to send a letter out to this fellow trainer. Perhaps we can get more people to understand that dragons aren't mean, ferocious beasts that want to kill everyone.

"Hey, what's that sound?" Snotlout asked as we all tried to continue training our dragons in the dragon academy.

"What sound?" Astrid asked asked as she looked up from Stormfly, who she had been talking to.

"That sounds like...a Boneknapper dragon. We haven't seen one of those since Gobber took us all out to find the one chasing him." Fishlegs said excitedly as he hopped up onto Meatlug, and I didn't have to ask to know he wanted to go investigate.

"Awesome, let's go snatch it!" Tuffnut exclaimed as I sighed, knowing I was going to have to stop them from going after the dragon.

"You up for investigating, Toothless?" I asked and smiled at the big grin my Night Fury dawned before I hopped onto his back to lead the other five off.

I led everyone up into the sky in search of the mysterious dragon, but after that first roar we didn't hear anything.

Well, we didn't hear anything, but apparently Fishlegs saw something out towards one of our fishing boats.

"What is that thing?" Bucket's shouts reached us as I watched him and Mulch scramble to pull in the nets, unable to see anything anymore though.

"It was covered in bones from head to tail." Mulch called up to us as I turned to Fishlegs, who let out a triumphant ha at the fact that he was right.

It was about then that a dragon burst from the water on the other side of the boat, carrying the fishnets in it's boney jaws.

"Boneknapper!" Fishlegs shrieked as it zoomed towards us.

"Don't attack it!" I yelled at Snotlout as he ordered Hookfang to fire at the dragon.

"But it's attacking us! And it has our fishnets!" Snotlout argued before Toothless and I went after the dragon that was now heading towards shore with our nets.

"Is someone in need of some assistance?" I glanced around in shock at the unfamiliar voice, turning to Astrid to see her searching for the voice as well. "Oi, dragon riders! You're not too used to seeing Boneknappers, are ya?" I looked up at the sound of the voice again to see a second Boneknapper diving down towards the one escaping with our nets.

"I thought Boneknappers were rare." Astrid commented before I noticed there was someone riding on the back of the second dragon before the person leaped from it's back, turning to Fishlegs when he let out a startled cry.

"Sorry." Fishlegs said with a sheepish chuckle before I turned my attention back to the Boneknappers, just in time to see the other rider land on the back of the fleeing dragon.

Third Person POV

"Calm down, they're not going to hurt you." The new trainer assured as the Riders of Berk watched the trainer put a hand on the snout of the dragon to try and calm it.

Hiccup watched in astonishment as the Boneknapper calmed down at the mere touch of the trainer's hand, wondering where this new viking had come from.

Hiccup directed Toothless to head down when the new trainer led the rogue dragon down to the ground, the other Boneknapper following as well.

"There we go, now drop the net." Hiccup dismounted Toothless and walked over to the new viking who had such a way with the Boneknappers, the other five following behind him, before he noticed something.

"Wait, a girl controlled a Boneknapper?!" Snotlout burst out before he was hit over the head by Astrid for the sexist comment.

"Better than you with your Monstrous Nightmare over there. I saw you trying to control it." The girl spoke up as she scratched the chin of the adolescent Boneknapper. "No more attacking ships, that's bad." The girl reminded as Hiccup realized that these two dragons belonged to the stranger.

"You train Boneknappers." Hiccup said in realization as the girl turned to him, letting him get a good look at her finally.

The new trainer's eyes were a bright emerald green, a scar running over her left eye. Her skin was tan, and her hair a light brown. She looked like she could have belonged to their tribe, except he knew for a fact she didn't.

"I train two Boneknappers. This is Zu, and this is Pythius." The girl said as she patted the two dragons on the snouts, earning a bump from her main dragon Zu.

"Since when do people get two dragons? That's so unfair." Snotlout commented before earning another smack from Astrid.

"Who are you? We've never seen you around here before." Hiccup said as the girl mounted Zu, Pythius already heading off into the sky once more.

"I'm a dragon trainer. I don't stay in one place too long." The girl said before heading off after Pythius, Zu letting out a loud roar as Hiccup turned back to the rest of the group.

It was later that night when Hiccup brought up the news about the stranger to his father that he learned her name. "Ah, that sounds like Thorunn the Skull Splitter, Madguts the Murderous' daughter." Gobber spoke up from where he sat in front of the fire, Stoick nodding in agreement.

"She's heir to the Murderous tribe. She should be at home though, not out riding dragons." Stoick said before going to continue on with his nightly rituals.

"So, she's the other dragon trainer then?" Hiccup asked as he sat down opposite the fire, Toothless sitting down right next to him.

"It would seem so, but why she wants to train Boneknappers, I cant tell you." Gobber sat before Toothless nudged Hiccup to try and get his dinner.

On the other side of the island the two Boneknappers landed on the beach, the heir to the Murderous tribe climbing off of Zu to check her map to see where she was. "Alright Zu, we need one more bone for Pythius. Let's find it." Thorunn stated as she looked at map that had almost everywhere checked off, except for Berk.

"So, you want to try to find Madguts the murderous daughter. Why?!" Snotlout questioned loudly as the dragon riders were called to the academy by Hiccup.

"Madguts is vicious and destructive." Ruffnut commented as she turned to Tuffnut with a broad grin.

"First one to find her gets to meet Madguts!" Tuffnut announced excitedly as Astrid sighed at how the twins acted, turning her attention back to Hiccup.

"What's the real reason you want to meet her, Hiccup?" Astrid asked as she tried to ignore how loud the twins were being.

"I just think that if we have more riders, maybe we can get more Vikings outside of Berk to realize that dragons aren't terrible, bloodthirsty beasts. Maybe more people will be willing to accept them like us." Hiccup explained as he patted Toothless on the head when the Night Fury nudged him.

It was about then that the sound of a Boneknappers roar reached the dragon academy.

"Woah, Pythius calm down!" Thorunn yelled down to the excited dragon that had caught scent of the last bone it needed for it's armor.

The viking paled when the dragon instead dived down towards the village on the island. Almost immediately, the screams of terrified vikings began before Thorunn directed Zu to stop the excited dragon.

"What chaos! I love it!" Tuffnut commented as the riders of Berk watched the chaos from the skies until Hiccup reminded them they had to stop the Boneknapper.

"Stop it, don't help it." Hiccup scolded the twins when they just stood by and watched the Boneknapper tear through buildings in search of it's final bone.

"What is going on?!" Hiccup paled at the sound of his father coming in on Thornado, knowing that he wouldn't be too happy to see a Boneknapper destroying the village.

"No! You're not getting my belt buckle again you bag of bones!" Gobber yelled angrily as the Boneknapper tore through his shop in search of it's bone, sending Gobber flying when the man attacked it.

"Pythius!" Hiccup looked up to see a white blur as Zu dived down towards the other Boneknapper, it's rider leaping from the saddle at the last moment to land on Pythius before the dragon went crazy, taking off into the sky.

"We have to stop that dragon." Hiccup announced to the riders that were around him at the time. "Go Toothless." Hiccup said before the Night Fury took off after the dragon.

"Calm down!" Hiccup sped up at the sound of the Trainer trying to get control of the dragon that was now speeding towards the pillars of rock jutting out of the ocean.

"Hang on! We'll calm it down!" Hiccup called to the girl on the Boneknappers neck, just then seeing the chink in the bone armor of the dragon.

"He's after his final bone!" Thorunn called back before seeing that Pythius was heading towards a pillar of stone, paling for a second when she realized it was a low hanging rock. "Zu!" Thorunn called before leaping from Pythius' back, falling down towards the ocean as the familiar roar of a protective dragon sounded.

"Toothless, get her!" Hiccup ordered before the Night Fury dived down towards the falling trainer, Zu chasing after the other Boneknapper instead of catching his trainer.

Just as the heir to the Murderous tribe was about to hit the water she was caught in the arms of Toothless, who looked down at her to make sure she was alright.

"Well, guess it's a good thing to have a fast dragon with you." Thorunn commented before seeing Pythius land on top of one of the pillars of stone, Toothless taking off to drop her on the pillar.

Hiccup watched as Thorunn landed on the stone next to her dragons, Pythius holding a bone in it's massive jaws. "He just wanted his last bone." Hiccup murmured as he watched the new trainer set the bone into place for her dragon, a second later the complete dragon letting out an thundering roar that could shake all of Berk.

"There you go, bud." Thorunn said before the dragon bumped it's head into her, trying to show it's appreciation of helping finish his armor.

"Wow, you help Boneknappers finish their armor." Fishlegs commented as he landed with Meatlug, the other trainers hovering since the pillar wasn't very big.

"Sort of. They get the scent, I set the bone." Thorunn said with a shrug before Hiccup walked up to her, Toothless right behind him protectively.

"I want a Boneknapper. Those things are destructive." Ruffnut commented with a huge grin.

"It's nice to see there's other dragon trainers out there. I'm Hiccup." Hiccup greeted with a small smile at the Boneknapper trainer.

"Dude, that's such a sad way to try to get her attention." Snotlout commented before Astrid smacked him.

Well, I know it could be better, but I hope this did serve well for the opening chapter in what I hope to be a very popular story. Oh and for those of you who might not know of the Boneknapper's, they were in one of the shorts so you could either watch the short, or find their wiki page. Thought, why not since we only really get to see the more common dragons.

Anyways, enough of my rambling. I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of this new story, more to come since I've already prewritten the first few chapters, and I hope to here from you all in the form of reviews since I'm always happy to here what yall think.
