The Riders landed on the top deck. They quickly noticed that it wasn’t made of wood, rather it seemed to be composed of some metal or other. “A little unusual,” Hiccup commented.
“Try ‘very unusual’,” Astrid said.
“And we don’t see anyone sailing it,” Hiccup said.
“And I didn’t see any oars either,” Fishlegs pointed out.
“No one sailing,” Hiccup said as he looked at the ragged sails. “No oars. What sort of ship is this?”
They heard a sound nearby, a door into a cabin crashed down.
“Is that a…?” Astrid asked.
“Yes,” Hiccup answered. “A dragon. And where there’s one. There are probably others.”
The Rumbleclaw roared.
“Out of the way!” Astrid said.
“Over here!” Nefertiti called from a room at the side.
They all ran over.
“More Dragons,” Spitelout groused. “Perfect.”
“Someone must have captured them. We need to find out who,” Hiccup said. “Berk may be the only safe place.”
“What if this is a trap?” Spitelout asked.
“We’ll escape,” Hiccup said. “We need to find wherever it is being steered from.”
“But how?” Snotlout asked.

Berk in Time
Dragons on a Timeship
This is Berk. Most places have cats or dogs as pets. But we have dragons.
Hiccup was doing what he liked best after a long day at the Dragon Academy. He was riding Toothless over the seas surrounding Berk. It was exhilarating, just him and his bud. However, something unexpected happened. He sighted something in the distance. It looked, big. Toothless gave an inquisitive growl.
“I see it too, Bud. Let’s have a closer look.”
Not long after, Hiccup could clearly see that the object was a kind of ship he hadn’t seen before. Also, it was much larger. He also knew the patterns of the currents in the area, that it would reach Berk some time the next day. “Better give them the heads up, Bud.”
The sun was setting as Hiccup and Toothless landed outside Berk’s Great Hall. The door was open. ‘Something is happening,’ Hiccup thought as he dismounted.
Stoick the Vast, Chief of the Hooligans of Berk, saw his son enter the Great Hall. “There he is now, along with his Dragon.”
The woman who had identified herself as Nefertiti turned. “Rather small, isn’t he?”
“Aye, he is,” Stoick said in a long suffering tone.
“Hi Dad,” Hiccup said as he came up. “Toothless and I have found something.”
“You can tell me about it later.”
Hiccup nodded. “Who is this?”
“She arrived on Berk this afternoon with Trader Johann,” Stoick explained.
“Nefertiti.”
“Hiccup, and this is Toothless.”
“Your Father told me that it was you who first trained Dragons.”
“Yes, it was. I found Toothless, and befriended him,” Hiccup answered.
“And Berk now lives peacefully with the Dragons.”
“Yes,” Hiccup answered.
“I see,” Nefertiti said.
“Dad, Toothless and I found something. A strange ship, approaching Berk.”
It was clear to Stoick, that his son wanted him to know straight away. “You say it’s approaching Berk?” he asked.
“Yes,” Hiccup answered. “It would run aground sometime tomorrow.”
“There could be anything aboard,” Stoick considered.
“I agree. Which is why I want to investigate it before you’re obliged to open fire with our catapults.”
“And you would be right in that regard. It could be a threat to Berk.”
“I thought so,” Hiccup said.
“Maybe Nefertiti could help,” Stoick suggested.
“Maybe, but she hasn’t ridden a dragon before, and I doubt there’s time to find her one.”
“Toothless looks big enough for two.”
“Most dragons are. But I need to find the other Riders first.”
“Of course.”
“Can I come with you?” Nefertiti asked.
“Certainly.”

Excerpt from: Artifact in Lawndale
“Quinn Morgendorffer,” the one with the long red hair said.
“Stacy Rowe,” the one with the brown hair in braids said nervously.
“And you are?” Quinn asked.
“Agent Myka Bering. We're here to ask about the incident earlier today.”
Quinn thought about it for a moment. She wasn't sure that she could trust this Agent Myka Bering, or whether she should call her mother first. “Can I call someone?”
“You mean, a lawyer?” Myka asked. “It's not that sort of issue.”
“It's my Mom, she's a lawyer,” Quinn said.
“You can call her,” Myka said.
“Myka?” Pete asked.
“I'm sure her mother would agree, Pete.”
“It's Quinn, Helen,” Marianne said.

But they weren’t going to it now. Not on her watch! “That won’t happen!” she declared.
“Good to hear,” Ma’ah said. “But how could you help?”
“Maybe some sort of strategy that you could come up with?” Ma’ah asked.

“If they’re that big…” Spitelout mused.
“Who knows what they make,” Hiccup said.
“You feel some kind of thrumming?” Snotlout asked.
“I do,” Hiccup answered. “There may be someone here, operating one of the forges.”
Spitelout drew his sword! “I’ll be ready.”
“We don’t want to antagonize him,” Hiccup said as the Jorgensons both charged off. “Of course!”
Back on deck, Fishlegs was thinking. “Obviously there are more dragons on board.”
“Over here!” Astrid said. “A nest!”
Fishlegs walked over. “Those look like Zippleback eggs.”
“Zippleback?” Nefertiti asked.
“Our dragon,” Ruffnut explained, pointing to Barf and Belch.
“I see,” Nefertiti said.

“Daria! I’m glad you made it!” She exclaimed. She saw Daria wince a little. ‘Oops!’ she thought. It seemed that Daria was oversensitive to the higher tones in her voice.
“Yes, although there are a lot of people,” Daria said.
“Yes! Most of the Sophomore and Junior classes are here!”
“Including my sister,” Daria commented,
“Has she caused trouble?” Brittany asked as she twirled a pigtail.
“In the past,” Daria answered. “However, she has turned over a new leaf, so to speak.”
