Being alone is never fun. I know from experience. I spent most of my young life from the time I was seven being alone save for my Night Fury, Nightstar. My loneliness was not as bad as it could've been, considering I had my dragon. Even so, there's only so many things the winged reptiles can do, and having a conversation is not one of them.

The year I was twenty, my life changed drastically. I found a new home and another Night Fury, belonging to a man named Hiccup. That year was scary, to say the least.

I helped Berk defeat an evil dragon lord named Drago Bludvist. Also during this time, Hiccup found his long lost mother while his father perished in the war. Hiccup became Chieftain of Berk, and in the years following the attack, he's grown wiser and stronger. He's an amazing Chieftain. I'm proud to have him as my friend.

Me, well...I'm Thora, the daughter of Thord and Sigrid. If you must know, the only reason I stayed on Berk after Drago's defeat is because my dragon fell in love. She's got a family now, so I must've made the right decision.

I win a few dragon races every now and then and I'm a trainer of Night Furies. I have no interest in settling down and starting a family. I like my freedom. I'm far too curious for my own good. I just know that one day, that curiosity is going to get me in trouble.

I always thought that I wasn't special. My village, Hermaōr, once was, but I wasn't.

I was wrong.

This story is not like others, but that's what makes it special.
