Okay, so this is my first story, not really inspired by anything though. I got the idea when my friend challenged me to create a character for one of my fandoms, so Daystrid was born. This also starts during RTTE, in case anyone is wondering

Here's a bit of background on my thoughts for this. Daystrid looks a lot like Astrid, I will explain her appearance in more detail in later chapters. But just so you guys know, Daystrid is part dragon, Monstrous Nightmare to be exact. She can shoot fire from her hands, has wings and tail, although those she can hide, and can also understand dragons. So, without further adieu, fellow dragon riders, let's get on with the story!

*Daystrid's POV*

The first thing I felt was pain. Not the wee bit of pain you get from a headache, but the stabbing kind you get from being severely hurt.

But, I'm getting a wee bit ahead of myself here. You don't even know who I am. Let's back up the story to when I became a Dragon Rider…

***2 months earlier***

My name is Daystrid Hofferson, and I've wanted to be a Dragon Rider like my sister, Astrid, for the past 3 years. It's been about a month since Astrid and the other Riders left for the Great Beyond. They haven't been back from their base, Dragon's Edge, yet.

Today started out like any other. I got up, went for a morning flight on my dragon, a Monstrous Nightmare named Firewing, and got back just as Gobber was starting his day in the forge. I'm not exactly his apprentice, Hiccup still is, even though he's barely here, but with Astrid being gone, and me having nothing better to do, I decided to help Gobber every once in a while.

Around midday, Gobber turns to me and says, "Yeh lookin' tired, lass. Why don't yeh head home fer a while?"

"Okay, see you later, Gobber!" I responded as I left the forge, wondering why he was telling me to go home. I wasn't tired, a little hungry maybe, but the truth is, I miss Astrid. She has been here my whole life, and now I really don't know what to do without her.

I got home and was just about to call for mom, when I remembered that my parents were at the yak races today. I decided to go up to my room and doodle a bit. Firewing followed me upstairs, and curled up at the end of my bed.

I must have fallen asleep, because I woke up the smell of wood burning. That hasn't happened since we made peace with the dragons 3 years ago. I got up from my desk and ran over to the door, Firewing right behind me, only to be met with flames on the other side of the door. My house was on fire! Unlike Astrid, I didn't have any windows in my room, so I had no way to escape from my burning house.

A few minutes later, just as I was formulating a plan to get myself out of there, I started to feel dizzy and it became hard to breathe. I felt my legs give out from underneath me and then everything went black.
