Here it is. The first chapter of the sequel to Living the Legacy.

Chapter 1

I flew around on Mjolnir. The sky was so open and free today. I held my arms up, enjoying the wind rushing by them. I just felt like anything was possible.

Mjolnir growled as he enjoyed the day too. He had the respect of many dragons, being a Skrill and all. Word had spread quickly that I had trained this fierce Strike class dragon. Now like my father before me, I had quickly earned a reputation across the archipelago. Many Vikings were telling of how I, Stoick Finn Haddock, son of Hiccup and Astrid, had trained the fierce Skrill and freed the archipelago from the evil of Dagur the Deranged.

I looked down at the ocean. I hadn't wanted to do that, but we were in a battle and I was trying to keep everyone safe. Mjolnir seemed to sense something was wrong because he started spinning.

I grabbed on. "Mjolnir!" I said. He just laughed, or what I presumed to be laughter. I smiled. That reptile had a way of cheering me up.

We landed on a sea stack. I dismounted and sat down, looking at the vast expanse of ocean. I'm still amazed at the variety of Tidal class dragons that swam below the surface. Scauldrons, Thunderdrums, Seashockers, and more. Even more impressive were all the islands out there, and the dragons that called those islands home. It was no wonder my dad wanted to explore as much of it as possible.

I looked back at the island Mjolnir and I called home. Berk was still growing and expanding. It was so much more than it had been a few weeks ago. And I knew it was going to change more as time went on.

I looked at Mjolnir. "Today's going to be a big day. When the others get here we're going to start something big." Mjolnir just looked at me with his eyes. I had a feeling he knew what I was going to suggest, and wanted to get on with it.

I saw other dragons approaching. Mucklout with his Thunderdrum Loudmouth, Buffnut with his Whispering Death Killerjaws, Duffnut with her Changewing Vomit. And my favorite, Camicaze with her Hobblegrunt Moodswing. They all landed and dismounted.

"Stoick, what is it?" Camicaze, or Cami as she preferred, asked.

I smiled. "I've been thinking, when our parents were our age they spent their time exploring the archipelago. When they weren't protecting Berk."

"Get to the point." Mucklout said.

"Our parents found many islands with lots of dragons." I continued. "However the map is still incomplete. There are lots of islands with dragons we haven't discovered yet." I turned to Cami. "Your brother and his friends have continued to explore these places."

Cami nodded. "They've found lots of exciting and dangerous places." She said. "It'd be so much fun to find something like that."

"Well that's what I'm suggesting we do." I said. "We have dragons now. I say we go out and find as many islands as we can. See what dragons there are. We expand the map, and if possible complete it."

Cami looked at me. "You do know that there could be hundreds of thousands of islands out there."

"That's why we need as much help as we can get." I said. "I've already talked it over with Artur and his friends, and he thinks it's a good idea."

"Will there be danger?" Duffnut asked.

"Possibly." I said.

"With awesome dragons?" Buffnut asked.

"Very likely."

"And glory to be found in discovering unknown islands?" Mucklout asked.

"Topped with the honor of naming the place."

"We're in." They all said.

Cami shook her head. "You do need all the help you can get. I'm in."

I smiled. "Then from this moment on, we're the Explorers of Berk."

I apologize for the shortness of this chapter. I didn't want to drag it out needlessly. I plan to have all the OC's submitted last story return, maybe even explore their islands. If you'd like to help with any of the chapters feel free to PM me.
