(This is a complete rewrite of the (Dragonborn Comes to Berk) story. A lot of the story has changed and plus some new and characters will show up within the story. A lot of Skyrim references will be mentioned throughout this story just a heads up. Also the way the chapters work is that they go by days, so every new chapter is another day. I'll update whenever I have the chance due to my work getting in a way.
Now enough talking let's get on with the story! See you guys next time!
(Dragonborn's Adventures: Act One)
(Chapter One)
Seven months ago, war broke out all over Skyrim living nothing but destruction and ruined lives. Draco and his family tried their best to stop the war but ended up making it worse. Both sides went after them with all they had forcing them to flee… but a couple stayed behind to give them time to escape.
However, it came with a price. Draco lost someone close in that war. He still thinks about her but didn't let it cloud his vison. After being forced to flee they've been flying to island after island even islands leading into the archipelago looking for their friends but had no luck. Now Galaxy (Draco's Skrill) and Draco are resting on a small island out in the middle of the sea "Where do you want to try next bud?" he asked looking at a map that he found on a merchant ship some months ago " Vosro unt por northeast do het, til los mul sahlon til, Zu'u lorot nii vust kos sahsun do eylok " he replied looking in the direction of the island "Ok, I guess we're heading northeast" I climbed onto Galaxy after placing the map back in my satchel as well making sure we had everything before we took off leaving the small island.
"How many days will it take to get there" Draco asked " Nii fend kos um ziin wah sed sul membrah mu kuz zogut graan " he replied with a dragon smile "Hmm… I guess we can take the extreme route, it's been a while since the last time we done it" smiling at his suggestion he leans forward until he was completely flat on the saddle, they slowly started to climb higher and higher until they disappeared into the clouds and with the sound of an electrical boom they were gone.
(Time Skip)
They were now descending from the clouds but not low enough just encase they were right above any ships. They could see the island in the distance, it wasn't big but it also wasn't small either "Now that felt like old time" Draco sighed remembering all the good times he had back home on Helheim "Nii drey nuz reminiscing nau ustiid won't dreh mii naan pruzah viilut nu, we'll siiv niin ahrk ruz mu vis wahl yun memory's" Draco smiles at his try at cheering him up but deep down he knows that won't happen since everyone won't be there.
He was pulled away from his thoughts when he felt Galaxy stop "What's wrong?" Galaxy didn't answer him so he looked in the direction of where he was looking and saw what his friend was looking at "Dragon raid" he sighed "Come on, let's go help out" he leaned forward but Galaxy didn't move "Galaxy, what's wrong?"
"It's viking sahsun, waan nust koraav mii we'll definitely kos iidah nau fahmey, ahrk …" Galaxy trailed seeming to be thinking of something "Zu'u don't laan hi wah ofaal ahraan, hi aal kos fos daar mudozaan faan dovahkiin nuz tol doesn't wahl hi nisal" he finished, he really was concerned "I know you're worried but I can handle myself and even if I did get into trouble you'll be there by my side" he smiled reassuring his friend that he'll be fine.
Galaxy let out a sigh of his own before continuing on towards the island "Zu'u hind hi mindok fos dreh"
On the way to the island they could start making out the types of dragons and the people down in the village "Let's try to scare them, shall we?" Draco smiles as they ascended back into the clouds. Once they were hidden within the clouds Draco stood on top of Galaxy looking down at the silhouette of the island. He took in a deep breath then let out a loud shout that shook the sky "STRUN BAH QO!" the clouds became dark, the clouds started to swirl, lighting, rain and thunder were raging around the island "Ok, lets help these people, Galaxy, chain lighting" Galaxy let out a loud roar followed by the sound of electrical crackling.
"Don't harm any of them, just scare them" Galaxy let out a couple of bolts of lightning at the dragons down below but made sure that they didn't harm any of them, some dragons could be heard letting out roars of retreat throughout the island, even some of the villagers could be heard screaming about retreating into a Great Hall (Whatever that is) so they could be protected from the storm "I guess that'll do it, we can now find a place to land then…" Draco was caught off guard when he felt something wrap around him pinning him on Galaxy and pinning Galaxies wings to his side causing him to drop out of the sky at a high speed "Oh Shit!" they both were now falling down to the earth below.
"Galaxy! Try to angle us towards the woods!" Galaxy did as he was told and tried his best to angle them in the direction of the forest "Brace for impact!" they both hit the ground with a loud thud knocking them unconscious.
About an hour or two Galaxy and Draco finally woke up from being knocked out from the fall "Galaxy, are you ok?" the dragon let out a small grunt letting him know that he was ok "How in the hell did this happen?" he examined the bola to see if there was a way to slip out of it but it seemed like it wrapped around them pretty good which wasn't going to be easy to get out of.
"I'm going to have to burn it" he sighed then took a deep breath "YOL TOOR SHUL" a small fire ball flew out of his mouth and onto the ropes burning through them until they snapped releasing the two from their rope prison. Draco slide off Galaxy so he could stretch his arms and legs. He also wanted to check on their things just in case nothing fell out while they were falling.
Draco searched through the packs and his satchel making sure that nothing has fallen out "Good, everything's still here, what about you, are you ok?" he asked looking at his friend "I'm faas ni, nii fon med tol bola truk broke dii vahlut viing, it's ni ahk volzah nuz mu won't bo pahkolos anytime das" Draco let's out a sigh "Are you going to be able to hunt on your own?" the dragon nods "Geh, ful don't uful do zey, I'll kos flogah, nuz fos do hi, los hi ok?" Draco simply nodded.
He went over the things on his person to make sure his personal things plus his weapons were still on him. He let out a sigh of relief "Thank the gods, I still have everything on me" he placed his hand on the hilt of Kami (His katana which means 'Divine' in Japanese) before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath "Druv dreh hi dreh tol? I've nun hi dreh tol us nuz Zu'u neh understood druv"
"It helps me clear my mind" Galaxy didn't understand how that worked but didn't question it "Dreh hi mein bo wah sahsun?" Draco nods "Yes, it might be a good thing to, we need to restock on supplies and it'll be a chance to map out the island, I might also make those blades just in case" Draco took out a map, a journal, and a pouch filled with coin and jewels then placed them all under his armor in a hidden slot "I'll be heading to the village now, I'll be back as soon as I can"
"Kos ulaakei zeymah" Draco simply nodded before leaving for the village.
On the way towards the village Draco took in the scenery before him, the sounds of the forest were always calming for Draco, the sounds of wind blowing through the trees, bushes rustling, sounds of animals communicating with one another. All of it was so peaceful… well that was until he heard people talking 'I guess I wasn't that far from the village' he thought slowing down his pace.
He now could see the village past the trees also he can see some of the residents, they were bulky people, wore fur clothing probably to keep them warm "Yep, these are vikings alright" he sighed. He was now out in the open making his way to what seems to be the plaza of the village and from what he can see two people talking… well more like one is yelling at the other.
"Get him home, I have to clean up his mess" the taller man walked away from the shorter one. He wasn't that much smaller than me but still small (A/N This is Hiccup from the Race to the Edge but he didn't shoot down the Night Fury, Yet) he was also built small, smaller than anyone else on this island so far. Draco could now see that there were ones around his size but not as small as him. He was being escorted towards the house that stands at the top of a hill 'Wonder what that was about' he thought before turning his attention back to the plaza.
He was walking passed a couple of buildings taking in the scene of the small village, he noticed that there was a blacksmith, markets and a storage shed all right here 'That's not really the best layout' he thought while shrugging his shoulders. The people have started to notice Draco's presence and started to give him some courious eyes "Who's that?" "I've never seen him before" "Is he from another tribe?" the questions kept building up but no one bothered to walk up to him to ask.
'They make it look like they've never seen outsiders before' he thought ignoring all their stares. Draco made his way over to the blacksmith but when he got closer he noticed that the fire was out and no one was there "I guess no one's here" he turned around to walk away, instead he runs into a man with a missing arm and a missing leg, missing some of his teeth and has long blonde hair hanging just above his lips "Are you the blacksmith?" Draco asked the crippled man.
"Aye, who's asking?" Draco placed his right hand over his heart "My name's Draco Ryder, and I came here to see if you have anything that I could buy and get some answers as well some of my questions" the man rose a brow at Draco then shrugged his shoulders entering the forge "What are ya' looking for?" he opened up the shudders "Before I tell you, I want to know if it's possible for me to use your forge?" the man seemed taken back "I can lend you my forge but ya' know how to use it?" Draco nods "Then that's fine then, so what are ya looking fer'"
"I'm looking for some strong metal" the man was thinking over his requesting before he went further into the forge looking around "I only have iron and steel, would that do for ya'?" he called out from within the forge "That'll do fine" the man came back with a couple of iron ingots in hand "My I ask why you need to use me forge, I can do personal requests" the man placed the ingots in front of Draco so he can examine them.
"It's because I'm wanting to make me something that'll be quite complicated for those that don't have the blueprints for them" Draco examined the ingots to see if they were good to use on his little project "What kind of something is this?" Draco took out a small paper from under his chest piece then handed it to the blacksmith (A/N It's assassin armor but without the hood and all black) the blacksmith looked over the paper, his eyes became wide.
"What is this?" he asked shaking the paper "It's called hidden blades, you place them around your wrists which make them look like armor, I ran into someone with weapons like that back home and he showed me how they were made but never got around to make any of my own" Draco explained taking out his coin pouch "So, how much do I need to give you to use your forge as well to pay for these"
"Um, I don't charge people to use my forge but it'll be six silver coins for the iron" Draco looked through his pouch taking out two gold coins "Will these do?" the blacksmiths eyes looked like they were about to jump out "This is a bit much don't ya' think?" Draco shakes his head leaving the coins on the table "Not at all, now if you don't mind showing me where your forge is and also to give me back my blueprints" he held out his hand.
The blacksmith handed him the paper then walked away from the window letting Draco into the shop. Draco looked around the small shop noticing a lot of things were just scattered everywhere then he noticed something being covered by a sheet "What's that?" the blacksmith looked in the direction Draco was looking "Oh, my apprenticed made that, he likes to tinker with things" Draco then turned his attention to a door way being blocked by a sheet of cloth "And that?"
"That's where he works and stays most of the time" the blacksmith explained before he walked off and over to a wall with what looked to hold weapons and tools that he switches out with his fake hand "So, may I ask you why ya' come to Berk?" he asked trying to break the silence that was consuming the room. Draco picked up a couple of tools that he'll need then took the tongs and picked up the ingot with said tongs and hung them over the forge watching it slowly turn into a bright orange color.
"I got off course in a storm then beached on the other side of the island" he lied but the blacksmith didn't know that "So ya' was stuck in the storm a couple of hours ago?" Draco nodded "Yea, I was" he pulled the heated ingot away and placed it on the anvil next to him picking up a tool that cut the metal up into two parts without said tool melting.
"What do you plan to do while ya' here?" Draco shrugs his shoulders "Don't know yet, probably stay till my ship can get repaired or probably try to make a living here" the blacksmith looked over his shoulders "May I ask where you lived before you came to Berk?"
"It was a land far from here but it was in constant war, no one was safe so I decided to leave that place, I was supposed to have friends with me but they didn't show up when I left so I thought they got caught up in some trouble" it wasn't like all of it was false "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that" he sounded sympathetic "It's ok, I grew up with war all around me so it's not that big of a deal besides…" Draco was cut off when he heard a voice entering the room "Gobber? Are you in there?" it was the man from earlier
"Aye, I am, how may I help you today?" the blacksmith walked over to the window "I've heard that someone new was on Berk, have you seen this new fellow?"
"His in here" the blacksmith moved to the side to let the other man see Draco for himself "Draco, come here lad" Draco placed the tools down on the anvil then made his way to the window just to meet a tall man with red hair, a massive beard, and green eyes "My name's Stoick the Vast, I'm the chief of Berk, what might your name be?"
"Draco Ryder, nice to meet you" Draco held out his hand, the chief took it, kindly shaking it "Nice to meet you to, now not to be rude by how did you come to be on Berk and why is it that you came from the woods?"
"I was shipwrecked from the storm a couple of hours ago and I beached on the other side of the island" he explained again knowing that the lie seems to be working "Sorry to hear that, luckily you weren't here when the raid hit" I watched as his eyes were scanning me they landed on Kami "You're a warrior?" he looked down at his sword then back up at him "I can use it if that's what you mean"
"Sorry if that's how it sounded" Draco just shook his head "So about the raid, how long has that been happening?" it seemed to be a sensitive subject because his eyes became cold and full of hate "For far too long" he simply put it "Those demons have caused this village so much pain and sorrow, families have been destroyed by them, including mine but this is the first time they've ever attacked in broad daylight" Draco hated when people called dragons demons but he understood the pain of losing someone (He completely ignored the broad daylight part).
"I understand how it feels to lose someone but being consumed by hate and vengeance won't bring them back, I should know" Stoick's eyes seemed to have soften and returned back losing all of the hate in them "I know it won't but at least I can get my revenge" Draco let out a sigh 'He's a stubborn one' he thought. He was about to say something but was cut off… again by another voice and this one sounded feminine. "Hey chief, are you here to talk to Gobber to?"
"No lass I was just checking on our new friend" he moved over to let the young women see who he was talking to. The young women wore a blue tunic with a reddish spiked skirt, her eyes were ocean blue and her hair was golden blond (A/N She's the Astrid from Race to the Edge) she scanned him over with one hand on her hip and her axe over her shoulder. Her eyes landed on his sword just like Stoick had "You're a fighter?" she seemed interested. Draco nodded "Maybe you would like to spar one day, it would be a nice change to fight an outsider" she turned her attention to the blacksmith.
"Hey Gobber, could you sharpen my axe for me?" the man named Gobber nodded his head "Sure thing lass" she hands him her axe and he takes it then takes it over to a grinding stone. Now it was just Draco, Stoick and the maiden "Well, I guess I'll let you get back to work, we'll talk again some other time" Draco nodded watching Stoick walk away leaving just him and the maiden.
"What kind of sword is that?" she asked bluntly "It's a katana, it's a sword made in the far east" she studied the sword before speaking again "It doesn't look strong enough to withstand in a fight, it's too thin" he placed his hand on the hilt "It's thin because the blade has been folded numerous times and it used in battle a lot in the east" she lets out a small hum.
The sound of grinding stopped and Gobber was now holding a fully sharpened axe "Here ya' go lass, you chipped it pretty bad" she nodded taking the axe from him "I know, I'm sorry I come by so often" she apologized "It's fine, just don't break it, ok?" he gave her a smile which she returned kindly.
As she walked away she looked over her shoulder "Come find me if you ever want to spar" Draco nodded sending her a small but noticeable smile. They watched as she walked away until she was nothing more than a silhouette in the distance. Draco pulled his attention away from her distance form so he can get back to his project "She seems interested in you" Draco sent Gobber a confused look 'How? She just met me?' he thought.
"Not like that son, she's interested in how you would fight" Draco let out a sigh of relief 'Oh, that's what he meant' he turned his attention back to his project "Why does it matter how I fight?" he hung the smaller piece of metal back over the forge letting it get hot again.
"Well, she likes a challenge because no one her age or even the adults can satisfy her lust to battle, she's been getting bored fighting the same people over and over "he explained "Don't you get visitors often?" Gobber shacks his head "Not really, we usually get traders that come in but none of them have the fighting spirt like her or she doesn't find them worthy enough to fight her"
Draco was about to comment on that but something caught his attention 'It's that young man from earlier, the one Stoick was yelling at' he turned to Gobber "Who's that?" Gobber turned to see who he was talking about "That, that's 'iccup, he's the son of our chief and my apprentice and it seems like he left the house… again" the man sighed
"Is he not aloud outside or something?" Draco asked watching the kid make his way from the forest and in the direction of his house "Not when he's in trouble but it seems like 'e didn't listen" Gobber took a step outside the shop "I'll be in the Great Hall if you need me but if someone needs something sharpen can you do that fer me?" Draco nodded.
Gobber left the shop in his care so that gave him some time to think 'Why was he leaving the woods? Did he see Galaxy? No… if he did Galaxy would've let out a single to let me know' his mind began to swirl with thoughts but it didn't stop him from his project.
(Time Skip)
A couple of hours have passed and the skies have started to become dark as the sun began to set. Within those couple of hours Draco has finally finished his hidden blades and were now trying them out to see if he put it together right "Ok, so if I do this, it should come out" he flicked his wrist slightly which made a clicking noise revealing the blades from their hidden state "Now to hide it is wined this part" he turned his wrist around to where he could see the bottom of the braces and started spinning a part on the brace which started to pull the blades back into their hidden state.
He let out a sigh followed by a smile "That was more complicated than I thought" he looked outside of the shop noticing how let it was "I should get back to Galaxy" he cleaned up his mess which only took a couple of seconds then left the forge making his way back to forest but a voice stopped him from continuing "Hey Draco" he turned around to see that it was the chief "Hey Stoick, what are you doing out this late?"
"I'm doing my last patrol before heading home, what about you?"
"I was going back to my boat for the night" the chief's eyebrow rose "You're staying in your boat? You could stay in the guest hall if you want" Draco shook his head "No but thank you, I'll be camping out in the woods until I feel comfortable enough to stay in the village" the chief nodded slightly "Ok, but my offer still stands, if you need a place to stay just head to the guess hall right over there" he pointed Draco in the direction of the hall "I'll keep it in mind, goodnight Stoick" Draco sent Stoick a wave then made his way into the woods.
The night was cold and bliss, it was quite and calming as the sounds of crickets and owls could be heard all around him 'I wonder what Galaxy did all day' he wondered. He scanned around the forest trying to see through the darkness but it was becoming difficult. He let out a sigh but continued on walking through the forest.
Finally coming to a stop at the site where they crashed he noticed that Galaxy want here 'Where did he go' he wondered as he scanned the forest looking for his brother. His eyes stopped on some dragon tracks heading in the opposite direction of the village. He let out a sigh then followed the tracks that would lead him further into the forest.
The further he walked in the forest the more peaceful it became 'I wouldn't mind building a house all the way out here' he thought scanning the forest for potential building locations. His eyes landed on a massive cove that had a couple of fallen trees and a pond in the middle. He looked over the cove looking for his brother but instead he noticed that there was a cave on the other side 'Could that be where you're hiding' he thought jumping down into the cove.
He landed in the cove with a loud thud which slightly echoed, following that echo was a small growl "Who's til?" Draco let out a sigh "I'm surprised that you didn't sense me" Galaxies head popped out of the cave "It's ni dii tozein tol niist sahlon los ful pogaas muliik wey hin" Draco chuckles. Galaxy left the cave slowly and carefully walking up to his brother "Fos kuz hi ful lingrah?" Draco held up his braces "Fos los daar?"
"It's the hidden blades that I tried to make back home"
"Ful, hi geblaan niin?" Draco nodded dropping his arms to his sides "Why are you here?" Galaxy let out a sound that sounded like a sigh "Mu lost diron" Draco's eyes narrowed.
(Now sorry if you can't understand Galaxy but he'll be talking in Dovah for the whole story so if you want translations I'll start posting the translations at the end of each chapter. See you guys around!
