My Chieftess... ✨Scripted✨ version

Episode 5: Buffalord Soldier

Fishlegs: Well it's just...

Bodil: (dully) There aren't anymore Buffalord. They were all hunted to extinction during the Scourge's last outbreak.

Hiccup: We don't know if they're gone for sure. We need to get out there and find one.

Fishlegs: But we don't even know where to start looking. There's no mention of the Buffalord anywhere. It's like they were wiped from history.

Bodil: Come on, I told you guys, I'm... (Attempts to stand, but before she can finish speaking, gets faint and falls)

Hiccup: Bo!

(Hiccup catches her)

Bodil: I'm...fine

(Scene switches to Meeting Hut. The Riders are meeting to discuss. All sound worried.)

Astrid: How is she?

Hiccup: Resting. What else have we found, Fishlegs?

Fishlegs: I spent the last few hours combing through my dragon eye research and found some old notes. I didn't think much of them at first, but...

Hiccup: The Buffalord! But nothing on its location. There's really not much about it here at all.

Fishlegs: It's big, has ram-like horns and lives on the plains. That's something. I'll keep looking.

Tuffnut: What's this stuff?

Fishlegs: That's nothing. Just some Dragon Eye tracings. No useful information. Just archaic dots and slashes.

[The twins exchange looks]

Hiccup: What? Wait, you guys see something?

Tuffnut: Yeah. These make a map.

Ruffnut: Duh. How do you guys not see that?

Tuffnut: See? These squiggles are water. That big nose is an island. Those slashes are sea stacks. And that there would be...

Hiccup: The Buffalord.

Astrid: How did you do that?

Ruffnut: We're experts at interpreting abstract images. Watch and learn.

Tuffnut: A boat.

Ruffnut: Mm-hm.

Tuffnut: A pineapple.

Ruffnut: Mm-hm.

Tuffnut: Mom.

Ruffnut: Mm...

Hiccup: Actually, this looks familiar.

Astrid: We found it, Hiccup! We found it!

Hiccup: We found a location. Now let's hope to Odin they still exist.

Hiccup: Now, these dragons were supposedly hunted to extinction. So if there are any left, they will have developed a wariness towards humans.

Fishlegs: Which means we have to move quickly.

(Scene cuts on an island with the riders searching for the Buffalord)

Hiccup: And remember, we have less than two moons to find this dragon and bring this cure back to the edge.

Hiccup: I feel ya, bud. But we have to keep pushing forward. Tell you what, let's grab some water from that stream and we'll get back up in the air. (lands near a stream.)

[Toothless finds something]

Hiccup: Toothless? What is that?

(Scene cuts with Fishlegs inspecting the dragon droppings)
