Night Wing. I hear a voice say. Night Wing. It's louder this time. Night Wing! Smack! Oww. Why would you do that? I growl. Where is everyone else? Sorry about that, by the way. Siare growls. I dunno. I growl. Have you checked the Academy? I growl, tired. Academy? Siare is confused. Follow me. I growl. Walking to the Academy, I hear the gang's voices alongside Carla's. Here they are. I growl. They're doing something. Siare growls. Stay here. I growl. "Night Wing, glad you were able to join us!" Carla says. Where is Siare? Toothless growls. Alright, Siare, come on out. I growl. Morning, Siare. Toothless growls. Morning, Toothless. Siare growls back. "So. You seen Shawn, by chance, Night Wing?" Carla asks. Yeah, actually. Be right back. I growl. Flying to Hiccup's house, I grab my clothes and head to the Academy. "So you're Shawn?" Hiccup says. "Yeah," I say. "Hey Shawn," Carla says. "Hi," "So, Shawn. I was thinking about heading back home," Carla says. "Berk ain't bad. But we're probably being missed back home. When do we leave?" I say. "Oh, you can go ahead and take the fishing boat. I've got to find Night Wing. And get my gear and everything packed up," Carla says. "Okay. See you at home, Carla," I say, hugging Carla. Walking out the

Academy, I say, "goodbye, everyone else!" I walk out and run to Hiccup's house and pack my stuff in Carla's bag. I fly off to the woods and work on my maneuvering. Night Wing! You're wanted! I hear Toothless roar. Coming! I roar back. "There you are," Carla says. "Say, Night Wing, can you help me out and grab my bag from Hiccup's house?" I nod yes. "Thank you," I fly off to get her bag. "We. Uh, we have something for you and Shawn," Hiccup says. "And Night Wing," he adds, being nudged by Siare. "Oh?" Carla says. Hiccup hands her a Gronkle Iron dagger for me and a Gronkle Iron shield for her. "Thank you," Carla says. "And a new saddle for Night Wing," Astrid says, holding a new saddle. "Say, Carla. You mind if we tag along and see your home island?" Hiccup asks. "Oh. Uh-" Carla is debating. "Sure, but stay hidden and prepare yourself for nothing you have ever seen before in your life, "Carla says. "I'm coming, then," Astrid says. "Sorry, Astrid. But Stormfly isn't as quiet as Toothless," Carla says. "No? But Siare is," Astrid says, petting Siare. "Ugh. Fine," on the flight home, we reach Lakesshore. A small random city in the middle of nowhere. "What's that?" Hiccup points to Lakesshore. "That's our home. Lakesshore," Carla says. "Lakesshore? Odd

Name, but it looks beautiful. Like a ton of miniature fires," Hiccup says. "I was thinking the same thing," Astrid says. This is where you live? I hear Siare and Toothless growl. Yup. Neat isn't it? I growl back. Yeah. Landing, I tell the others to stay hidden in the woods. "Where have you been? I've been worried sick about you!" Mom says. Mom, it's okay. I was with some new friends. I growl. "For three days?" Mom's mad. I'll be back down in a few. I growl Night Wing? Everything okay? Siare growls. Yeah, I'm just going to lie down. Heading downstairs, I tell Mom that "I'm heading out with my friends" I say. "Be safe. I love you. Oh, and be back by ten," Mom says. "Okay. Bye Mom. Love you too," I say heading out the back door. "Hello again, Shawn," Hiccup says. "Hello again," I politely say. "He got you something, babe," Carla says, handing me the dagger. "Thank you," I say, taking the sheathed dagger. "They also made Night Wing a new saddle," Carla says. "Shawn! Get in here, now!" Mom yells. There's a third person in there, Shawn. Toothless growls. "I know, Toothless. I see him," I say. "Does everyone here understand dragons?" Hiccup says. "No. Just us two. Be right back," I say. "Come with me," the man says, holding a Spas-12 in my direction. I can smell the man has

Dragons Breath ammo in his gun. "May I use the restroom real quick?" I ask. "Ugh, fine. Go with the kid to make sure he don't do anything funny," he motions another man with a UMP submachine gun. "Make it quick," the UMP man says. I close the door and, as silently as I can, change to Night Wing and knock out the man. "What was that?" The man downstairs says. I run downstairs, growling. "Ah! The dragon! What's it doing here! Nevermind, I'm out of here!" He says, running. I head back upstairs, getting some clothes on. "Everything okay?" Carla runs through the back door. "Yeah," I say, holding the UMP. "We're going to head back, Shawn," Hiccup says. "Okay. Tell the others we say bye. And yes, tell Siare too," I say. "Okay," Hiccup says. "I'll visit again sometime! And don't tell anyone about this place!" I yell to the Vikings flying away. Hiccup says okay. Toothless growls to me. Good luck with Siare, my friend. I growl. "Who you taking to?" Mom says. "Oh, my new friends. Turns out, I'm not alone," I say. "By the way, my tail healed fully," I say. "That's good," Mom says.
