What do I put here again?

Are the number of words a requirement? I like the order and it's great to ease into the story. I think rushing it is a horrible idea. I guess we can discuss the villain later, I was just saying that I have a charrie ready and waiting.

If I was really mean I would
If Toothless' tailfin was damaged, then if Hiccup somehow found him, then they still wouldn't be able to fly. And if by some miracle the dragon riders find him, Hiccup would not want to leave Toothless behind. Most likely the gang will send a search party but have no luck on finding their location.
If you want more drama

Around a thousand. Once you start explaining the situation and how the characters feel, even give some insight as to what the environments are like I think you'll be surprised as to how many words you can get. But, yeah, around those numbers would be best. Remember, you can add a little side scene that doesn't really add to plot, but helps get a few words in; as long as it doesn't seem forced.

I'm not sure how a sick chief would be added into the plot, it seems a little random. But with the idea we have going I believe we could find a lot of places to add drama once we get to chapters where it would be effective.

What if, while searching for Hiccup, Astrid gets captured by some kind of Villain. After Hiccup finds out he's torn between looking for Toothless and going after Astrid. That's just a thought, but I'm sure we could do much better. Re-reading it, I don't like it quite as much, but it'll be something to bounce ideas off of.

The idea is great but how will Hiccup know that Astrid's being kidnapped if he is washed away on a foreign land?

Oh yeah... Maybe when the other riders find them they spread the news? I dunno, that shouldn't come up into the story for a while, though.

Does it sound like we've got a good beginning, like should we start planning that part now? I shot some ideas above, are they good for you guys, too? Have any thoughts or ideas to add?

For the beginning I think we should start with something lighthearted and fun. (They wouldn't be prepared for all the feels and angst at the end... *evil laugh*)

Yeah, I like that. And then, at the end of the first chapter, we could have Hiccup wondering what lies outside of Berk.

Chap.2 would be him slowly wanting to go on a trip, getting more and more curious and at the end he asks his father.

Chap.3 would be him pestering his father, wondering why he isn't aloud to go and at the end of the chapter his father finally cracks and Hiccup gets to go on the trip.

Chap.4 could be him getting ready. He would say his good byes and stuff like that. we would have to find a way to make the chapter edge on a little longer, and then at the end of the chapter Hiccup finally gets on the saddle and takes off into the skies.

I have an idea for Ch1. Dragon tag? Something similar? It could be a preliminary to Dragon Races.
