I started to pet my new dragon friend and I noticed it looked at the other dragons behind me who had a rider on their backs.

It lowered its head as if it was telling me to get on its back.

I turned my head to look at my friends. Then, I looked back at the dragon and I hesitated but eventually I slowly got on it.

'Oh my, Thor! I'm actually riding a dragon by myself!'

I have so many emotions going on right now. Nervous, excited, and proud.

I got a dragon all by myself and discovered a new species too.

We flew back to the Academy. It was a bumpy ride for me. I wasn't able to fly as fast and as straight as the others. In fact, I almost crashed into a house.

Once we landed outside the arena. I got off my dragon "This is harder than I thought." I said out loud

"With enough practice, you can do it!" Hiccup encouraged

We went inside the arena with my dragon close behind.

"What are you going to name it?" Astrid asked curiously

"Hmm." I walked over to my dragon and placed a hand on its snout. I sneakily checked what gender it was so I could find the appropriate name. Then a name popped in my head

"I'm going to name you (y/d/n)" I smiled

(He/she) made a gurgle sound. I couldn't help smile at (him/her).

"What should we name this species? Oh, I love this! Documenting a new species and learning all about it!" Fishlegs squealed.

"Gross, learning," Ruffnut said

"Yeah, no thanks," Tuffnut added

Hiccup mentioned, "The only dragon (y/d/n) looks like in the Book Of Dragons is the Nightfury."

"Yeah, but not quite. Facial features are different and (y/d/n) has more spikes (he/she) is a bit smaller than Toothless." I stated

"We get to determine what it's called?" Fishlegs asked excitedly

"I guess so." I shrugged "I was thinking--" I said but then got interrupted

Snotlout jumped in front of Fishlegs.

"I want to name it!"

"But I already have a name for it," I said to Snotlout

He became disappointed

"Its species name should be Sand Wraith," I announced

"Sand Wraith?" Hiccup said

I nodded "Yeah, sand because (y/d/n) was under the sand when I found (him/her) and the color of (his/her) scales. For the Wraith part, I give credit to Snotlout."

"What?" Everyone said bewildered

"Well, he asked if I have seen a ghost. Then it got me thinking. Sand Ghost but that sounded weird then I remembered wraith is another word for ghost so, Sand Wraith." I shrugged "Plus, wraiths are scary and well..." I looked over at my new dragon and it had a evil look to (him/her). Although, kind of charming in an odd way.
