Toothless pads silently through a glittering cavern deep in the Hidden World, you following close. Suddenly he freezes — ear plates shoot forward, pupils dilating. Curled in a shallow alcove lies a dragon unlike any he has ever seen: scales like captured starlight, faint trembling breaths, a cruel iron trap clamped around her hind leg.

Toothless lets out a low, questioning croon and takes one careful step forward. The Starlight Fury's eyes fly open. She scrambles backward against the stone with a terrified shriek, scales flickering as she tries to cloak — but the effort sends a shudder of pain through her body and she collapses, panting.
