I'm sorry it didn't turn out the way I planned, but here goes nothing!

Vix-Edgar

I don’t understand why these people are giving me so much attention. Yeah, I’m new but I’m an average viking. VERY average. So far I’ve met Isla, Aidan, Kate, and Rita. And wow, the hidden world is SO cool. I’ve seen pictures of it but... I never imagined it to be this cool! The rocks glow and there’s cool dragons. Well, none as cool as my lil baby, Tumble. Yes, she is a common breed but she is THE BEST! No one has ever had a dragon more loyal, smart, talented, or cute as Tumble.

I woke up in the middle of the night. The bed underneath me was abnormally hard.. I thought I had a yak-fur sheet! I heard my sister, Grima’s voice whisper “Vix it’s your turn for watch”. Wait.. watch? We don’t have watch. I opened my eyes and instead of seeing paintings on the walls, it was just rough boards. The girl talking to me wasn’t Grima either. It was Isla. I yawned.

“A-alright,” I stuttered as I stretched.

''Smooth Vix, reaaal smooth. ''I got up out of my cot and put on day clothes. Tumble, my hobblegrunt was lying on the ground, snoring. I prodded her with my foot. “C’mon girl, it’s our turn for watch.” Tumble grumbled, but stood up anyway. She shook off the sleep, and trotted out of my little hut thing. Not sure what you’d call it. I slung my crossbow over my shoulder, took a bite of bread, and headed outside.

It was warm for the middle of the night, but it is the hidden world so I guessed this was normal. I walked over to a small cliff overlooking a mini pond, and sat down, my legs dangling over the edge. Tumble settled down next to me.

“What are we supposed to do anyway, girl?” I said as I stroked her scales.

I sat for hours upon hours of boredom. I twiddled my fingers, hummed songs, and poked at Tumble’s scales. Finally, something interesting happened. There were bushes near the edge of the pond, and I saw them rustle. ''Oh schmitz.. ''I quietly flipped onto my stomach and layed flat on the ground, and peeked my head down the ledge. It was an older man, kinda ugly actually. When he opened his mouth to talk, it revealed the ugliest yellow teeth I’ve ever seen.

“Stupid girl won’t give any information!” He muttered to himself.

''Who was he talking about?? ''I crept closer to the edge. I pulled out my small camera, and clicked a picture of the man. Maybe clicked a little too loud. The ugly old man looked up and saw me. If his face wasn’t furious before, it sure was now!

“C’mon girl, we gotta get out of here!” I yelled. No use in being quiet anymore!

I quickly mounted Tumble, and did a few maneuvers so that the man wouldn’t follow us. And then I headed back to base camp. I went into Rita’s cabin, because she had next watch. But, before she left, I showed her the photo. She gasped. Did she know him?
