"I think you're part Night Fury."
I stare at him.
"No. No, you're wrong. There no..." I say before I get an aching pain everywhere.
"(Y-y/n?) are you okay? What's going on? Are you......." he gets cut off as I transform into a Night Fury.
I have grey scales. My eyes are pure (e/c), and I have (f/c) and (s/f/c) designs with a hint of white.
I stare at Hiccup.
'What's happened to me?!' I try to say, only all that came out was a dragon's roar. I try to turn back, but instead I turn into a hybrid. Human form, yet my ears, tail, and wings are visible. "What the...?" I say.
"Wow... this is incredible! A normal human, able to transform between human to hybrid to full Night Fury. This is so going into the book of dragons. We could raise the population!" Hiccup says with excitement.
I struggled to turn back into a human.
"No! Nobody can know about this." I say, worried that someone heard the roar I did.
"Will you keep my secret?" I ask, pleading that he keep it and not tell anyone until the time is right.
Hiccup sighed. "Okay, okay, fine."
"Good. Let's go find the others and head to Dragons Edge. I want to start training." I say.
He nods. "Okay. I'll wrangle up everyone, you try to control your power."
I nod as he ran out of my house. I run to Nightwing.
"Can you understand me?" I ask, hoping he heard me.
He looks at me. "I thought I could talk to you telepathically. It must've been when I fired a plasma blast at your face."
I stare at him. "You did WHAT?!" I look at him, surprised.
He looked down. "While you were unconscious. You didn't wake up, so I thought if I fired a plasma blast at your face, you'd wake up. Afterwards, you stopped breathing. I thought I killed you. But I guess you were just transforming." He replied. I was about to reply, when the rest of the dragon riders ran up to me. They all asked questions at once, and I had Nightwing roar to shut them up so I could actually answer their questions.
After their questions were answered, we all headed off for Dragon's Edge.
We all said goodbye to the chief, and flew off. Jack came along, bringing Chalin with him. We flew for a while, eventually coming close to an island with what looked like different designs in certain areas. 'Guess everyone had a different idea in mind for their part.' I thought. 'I wonder how my part will look..'

A few hours later, we reach what I assume is Dragon's Edge. Jack and I follow Hiccup to the main area.
He proceeds to tell us where our places will be, and we agree.
"You can make them look however you want. Just make sure they don't go into anyone else's space." He said.
We both nod, and go to our respective areas. Mine had a hill near it. 'Wonderful!' I thought. 'I can make an underground cave underneath my house!'
I immediately got to work. I built my home out of tree logs and stones that I found on the island near my part of the island. 'This is going to look so cool!' I thought to myself as Nightwing and I worked.

A few hours later, rather close to dinner, Hiccup came by with Toothless to see how we were doing. "This looks great, (y/n)!" He says, as he looks around the place. The house is on the side of the mountain, with 3/5 of the way carved into the mountain itself. The rest is outside, and there are supporters under the porch. The house is about 2 floors, with a basement that isn't visible at all until you physically go down into it. It's mostly hidden to other sailboats and ships. If you were to fly by my house, you wouldn't right away see it. But if you carefully looked, you'd see a little bit of it. I made sure to cover a lot of the house with pieces of the mountain so it wouldn't be easily spotted from the sides. It's totally covered in mountain camouflage, so no unexpecting dragon riders or dragon hunters will be able to right away see it.
"Haha thanks! It took forever. But Nightwing and I managed to finish it. Do you wanna see inside?" I ask.
Hiccup looks to Toothless, who looks excited. "Sure!" He says.
We all walk inside, and Nightwing is asleep in his bed. I had made his bed into a bed/watch station, meaning he can sleep, and be able to see intruders immediately upon walking in the front door. "I love his bed! How'd you make it?" Hiccup asked me.
"I know a thing or two about combining things to be useful and comfortable at the same time. I learned it from reading books back at home since I was never allowed outside, I learned a few things." I explain.
Hiccup looks impressed. "Wow, I can't wait to see what else you've made."
I show him around more, and I show everything except my bedroom. It's not that I don't trust Hiccup, believe me, I do. I just never liked people in my bedroom. 
"Did you like the house?" I ask.
He nodded. "You haven't shown me your room though."
I look to the side. "I never really allowed people into my room... hence why I didn't show you it. But if you wanna see it I can show you."
Hiccup shakes his head. "No, it's fine. I'm sure I'll see it some other time."
"Okay. Let's go back to the others. I'm sure they wanna go on patrol or something."
He nods and we walk downstairs. I turn to my left and nearly jump out of my skin. "Astrid! What're you doing here?" Hiccup asks.
She looks at me. "Wondering why you were in Hiccup's house. Why were you in her house?" She asks, obviously jealous.
"She was showing me her house. I asked to see it so she gave me a tour."
She thinks for a moment.
Then, she speaks.
"I don't believe you." She says, rushing at me, sword in hand.
