A/N: This storyline may seem very similar to you Race to the edge fans and that's because it is, put simply, a short novel (ok, maybe not that small) depicting everything in Season 3 Episode 3 of Dragons - Race To The Edge, "Imperfect Harmony". P.S. any weird sound is probably yawning and weird grammar is probs stuttering so bear with me. Without further ado, ENJOY!

Chapter 1.

It was dark and quiet on Berk. Everyone was asleep and there was no noise at all. No one, except for a group of teenagers in a hut.

"Ok bud, go ahead."

A dim, purple light seeped through the cracks in the doorway, followed immediately by the kind of noise you hear when placing thick metal on a belt sander. The light, nor noise would be neither heard, or seen by anybody at all. From the outside.

On the inside however, it was a different matter.

"Wow"

"Amazing"

"Wuh,"

"Cool"

"DEFINITELY worth getting up for"

The teenagers gazed in awe at a cluster of symbols cast on the wall.

"Fishlegs, can you make any of it out?" The leader called out to a boy near the back of the room.

A tall, rather stocky boy with dark, blonde hair and a pathetic little Viking helmet on his head stepped to the front. He touched a hand to the projected haze of purple light.

"There are parts of maps and symbols. Nothing I've seen before, Hiccup. And there's writing in a language that I've never read before." The boy, Fishlegs, said. Still looking at the wall in amazement.

"What is that?" Rang out a voice from the side. It was Snotlout, the 'cooler' boy in the group. Most of the village didn't agree with that however. He was pointing to a symbol of a fist.

"Uhh, it must be some kind of tribal crest or something." The leader, Hiccup, said. He sincerely hoped that was all it was.

"Oooh, I like that way better than our tribal crest!" Tuffnut, one of the twins said.

"Tuff, we don't have a tribal crest." Hiccup said, looking up at the boy.

"Well, we should!'' The other twin said.

Ruffnut and Tuffnut were standing front and center. Tuffnut's dreadlocks waving and Ruffnut's braid's swaying at her side.

"Yeah, and it should be that!" Said Tuffnut, pointing at the symbol of the fist.

"Hiccup, this map. You realize it-" Fishlegs began,

"Goes beyond the boundaries of the archipelagos, oh yeah. I know." Hiccup continued, cutting him off.

The twins looked at each other. Snotlout looked skeptical. Everyone turned to the last remaining girl. Astrid was standing at the back of the room. She leaned against a wall with her arms crossed and said,

"So what's our next move?"

Everyone turned back to Hiccup as he stepped up to the wall once again.

"Look at this!" He gestured to everything. "There are maps we have never seen, writing we can't read, dragons we don't recognize-" At that moment, Hiccup's pet dragon gave a snort from the ground and the map flickered. No one seemed to notice as they stared at Hiccup.

"-See, it's incredible! This Dragon Eye, this is proof that there is a whole other world out there. A world that must be explored!" He stopped to take a breath, but before he could start again, Astrid spoke.

"Hiccup, I hope you realize how dangerous that could be-"

"How dangero-, Astrid, I'd've thought you, of all people might see how big of an opportunity this is?" Fishlegs said, stepping forward.

"Fishlegs is right Astrid, we're not babies anymore. We can deal with ourselves."

"I think at least you should check with your Dad. And maybe the council just to be safe." She said, imploring to his better side. Hiccup knew this tactic and gave in. He knew how persuasive the teenager could get. He sighed.

"Fine. But only with the council. No one else." He said, as the map went out.

He walked over to his Night Fury. He stretched out a hand and scratched behind the dragons ear blades.

"Oh, Toothless. What are we going to do." Giving his dragon a soft scratch under the chin, making him writhe with pleasure.

A haze of visions flew past his mind's eye. What would he do if his Dad -the almighty chief of Berk - said no to his plans? Where would they go? Astrid would be right. Hiccup didn't want her to be right because when she was, she could turn awfully smug. Just like someone else Hiccup knew *cough* Snotlout *cough* Toothless' tail whipped around and knocked an ax off the table. The loud bang brought him back to his senses and he straightened up, clearing his throat.

"Uhh, you guys should go see to your dragons and we'll meet in the morning." Everyone stood up, and walked down the stairs and out the door.
