"To any who find this, do not, I repeat, do NOT dock at the port of Typhon! Dangerous business is going down here, I repeat, as a warning to all ships, do NOT dock at Typhon!
Autumn paused, examining what appeared to be scribbled text in a fight over the feather.
"Master Hiccup, if you find this-" She stopped. "I think Johann was trying to get help, but whoever wrote the warning isn't having it."
