New and Old Faces of Dragon City
As one can expect after almost 3 decades a number of developments arise in the world. Technology advancements, building go up as others go down, things happen for better or worse furthermore remarkable people change for better or worse.
Dragon City had evolved in a lot of ways although it had been additionally benefited in countless ways as well. Not just from the progressions of what the world had undergone in the last 27 years, but rather what the other Realms had to contribute as well. You could say a lot of things about Dragon City but normal wasn't one of them.
As the other Realms still owed thanks to the three Haddocks Siblings for bringing about the Age of Transformation and Enlightenment, while simultaneously they and their friends and descendants for preserving the Tapestry of Creation multiply occasions over the course of time. Therefore as a direct result, Dragon City often had various individuals from the other Realms passing through its own Spirit Portal found at Asgardian Breeding Farm.
The Asgardian Breeding Farm was the Midgard or Earth home of Odin and Frigga and where they breed the dragons in their dog forms for the reborn souls of Dragon City and made certain everyone was reunited with their destined companion.
It was also where one of several Spirit Portals were established. These Spirit Portals weren't like the Rainbow Bridge or the Tunnel Roots of the Cosmic Tree you heard about in the Norse Myths.
These were genuine shortcuts that circumvented through all obstacles and could go to ANY REALM OR REALTY IN THE MULTIVERSE. THE INFINITE REALMS. They had complex laws moreover various consequences when in use and consequently required a much higher level of security.
Given you are literally exposing a gateway to the time-space continuum as well as myriad energy and again infinite realities and the inner workings of Tapestry of Creation! Therefore you better be extremely cautious along with showing exceptional respect with Spirit Portals and the doorways they opened. Or the divine artifacts associated with them.
Or like with Loki you might be paying a price that would end with your own blood in one timeline or in another timeline could cost you your own humanity like it had almost Hel in another timeline. Since the Tapestry of Creation also was aware of the many different timelines going on as well as the infinite realms.
Which is why Frigga had such a particularly significant as well as an influential job as Keeper tending to it and making indisputable it remained whole, intact and never ripped, torn or interfered with.
It's also why everyone also had to be cautious even after that Age of Transformation and Enlightenment and the Time of Rebirth that when people came to offer help or gifts to Dragon City that they took proper precautions and followed certain rules to ensure the delicate balance wasn't thrown out of whack.
Nevertheless, the Five Districts based on the Five Tribes of the Dragon Harmony Alliance still had five main responsibilities to the city which had been added by the inhabitants of the other realms in past almost 3 decades.
As the Berk, Outcasts, Berserk, Shardas, and Moralien were responsible for Wildlife Conservation, Immigration, Medical Care, Industrial, and Agriculture needs respectful if any of the other realms or its inhabitants could help in some form or another they would give some contribution to help. This little transaction wouldn't have come about without the help of three very familiar people who caused the whole change to begin with.
Hiccup, Boden, and Una as with their past selves were still bonded by an unbreakable bond of love and still did everything together. Consequently, when they'd all grown up and gotten married in their second lives they had all jointly taken up their father Stoick's old job being the Berk District Leader in the same capacity that had done in their first lives. Hiccup was the leader with Boden and Una working alongside him but he as oldest was the head of it all.
The other new District Leaders by the year 2045 were Brundi Treacherous of Outcast, Dagur Agreeable of Berserk, Tue Feniul-Skarpin of Shardas and Ase Skarpin of Moralien.
Tue was unique as he was raised by his grandfather in the Shardas District but he and his husband Elof Skarpin lived in Moralien.
But as Una's husband Orus who had been adopted and raised by the previous District leader and his wife had asked him not to take his place so he wouldn't be putting his marriage to Una in jeopardy by replacing him.
Instead, Kustaa and Thora had asked Tue if he'd mind taking the job instead given his own unique point of view and the need for change in government. That just because someone was homosexual didn't mean they shouldn't be treated any different or given the same privileges as another.
Tue hadn't at first thought of a career in politics having wanted to be an artist but his husband had convinced him saying he could make a real difference for people like them and their daughter in the long run and so he had agreed at last to take the job.
As a result of the children other then Tue had taken over their parents' job of running the city at Dragon Edge or where the center of the city was located.
Everyone was else was very much doing the 21st century equivalent of what their jobs had been in their days of Viking while still trying their hardest to be good parents to their children as well as making their marriages work.
So for Berk starting with now Mrs. Astrid Haddock mother of three when her children were at school she was doing her job of being combat instructor along with Heather and Asta for the Dragon City Guard which was just their own branch of the National Guard they just named it differently within the city limits was all.
Even in the 21st century and being 43 years old now Astrid was still a very strong, hardheaded, kick-ass do-not-mess-with-me woman. That hadn't changed at all even when she was reincarnated. The most that changed in Astrid being reincarnated was her wardrobe and learning to use a smartphone. Everything else was pretty much the same.
The rest of the former "Dragon Riders?" They're now employed at Berk High School. Snotlout was the Gym Teacher, Ruffnut was a Teacher Aid and Tuffnut was a Science Teacher.
Their spouses? Well, it was already said what Fishlegs' wife Heather did. Snotlout's wife Raven given her sexy good looks ran a local modeling agency and help young girls get a start without falling to prey to sexual predators who'd she kill if they tried anything. Not joking.
Ruff's husband Eret was head of Dragon City Maintenance and Tuff's wife Hawly was in charge of the Screaming Death Speedway and all those who worked there.
As for the former Dragon Riders adopted Siblings who now were parents of half of the Next Generation Riders?
Well, Brimstone and his wife Leesel were both on the police force. Bloodfire and her husband Rolian were head of security at the hospital. Birger worked at City Hall and pretty much the one who oversaw all the paperwork and kept the computer systems from crashing while his sister Ria was the new high school art teacher.
Lanon and Larkin were both EMTs the best Dragon City ever had in fact. Alle and Velika worked at the Berk Preschool and with special needs children and Creel and Gala still ran the temp agency of their mothers while their husbands ran a successful construction business.
Skullette and Firefang both worked at the Berk Wildlife Conservation Parks in the animal nursery doing what they had done in their first lives in the Berk Dragon Nursery.
So that pretty much covered every one of Berk descendant and what they're doing. As for what Dagur's wife Helena as Hel was called did since Brundi was currently single?
Helena and her brothers Fenrir and Joe as again it was much easier to refer her Midgard Serpent brother by that name than his very long and nearly impossible to say the name. What the three children of Loki had decided to do with themselves 27 years after their father's death?
Well considering they'd all served on his Council of Evil and had quite a rotten childhood and Hel had nearly been murdered by her father and he had even tormented Odyis in their first lives they'd all decided they had to do something with their second lives and second chance to truly atone for their mistakes and their father's crimes.
Their father had of course not been at first an evil sociopath and murderer bent on destroying everything or abusing his children. But no-one really understands who or what will cause a person to snap and go over the edge and past the point of no return.
And given the fact the hardest thing for all of them had been forgiving their father and each other that why they'd formed an activist group and naming it after Hel's Icefire power dedicate to helping those who had been victimized by evil and doing their best to not only right the wrongs but also do everything in their power to prevent it from happening in the first place.
As for those from Moralien? Well, Ase's husband Leif still worked and ran his family farm and now as Head of Agriculture in the Moralien District.
His older brother Elof who was Tue's husband made sure all animals used for food were treated humanely and raised properly so they'd good meat and that the animals didn't suffer.
Their youngest brother Torben who had his two wives the twin sisters Eira and Erica handle the numbers while his wives handle the greenhouses for the rare plants grown for various reasons such as research, save from extinction and medical purpose just as their grandmother did before them.
While most people parents were retired or semi-retired they still did what they could to stay active or do things in a mentor capacity to help out around the city and for their families.
Another thing that hadn't changed was the Asgardians living part-time in Dragon City. The Sisterhood of the Valkyries still lived there as did some of the gods and still did the same jobs that had once been undercover work but all was different now everyone knew who was who.
The only other was different was part of the Dragon City District Leaders again had come to an agreement with all the other Realms included the Tenth which is Heaven. In exchange for part-time citizenship in Midgard as they still referred to Earth sometimes they would exchange goods and help each other at times.
Which is why Dragon City didn't look like any other place on Earth even when you had reached nearly midway through the 21st century. You had different bits of ten different realms plus the advancement of technology merging together in a city where almost the entire populous was made up of reincarnated souls of Vikings and Dragons who spent their days as dogs and only on special days was everyone in their 'true forms"
Though in some ways this really helped in several departments such as energy, resolving pollution, saving the environment, feeding the hungry and making sure no one was homeless and giving the whole city a rather unique look.
So yes Odin and Frigga still ran the dragon-dog farm, their sons Thor and Balder where the Warden and Captain of the Guard at the specially designed penitentiary, Freya was the Dean of the University with Heimdall head of campus security. Sjofn still ran the Dragon City Museum, and the Valkyries did various jobs from being a waitress to parole officers to Kara being Guardian and godmother to the Haddock children and all who descended them and the high school principal.
The children of Sisterhood of Valkyrie just like the Twins of Kara and Azrael were a different story. After Loki's death, all the Valkyries had finally been able to marry their true loves many who were from Old Valhalla when it was just like the myths. A battlefield and not the village it became.
From the 36 members of the Sisterhood, they'd had many children yes sons and daughters and yes all of them were highly attractive children. Children who carried the blood of Valkyries had a tendency to be quite attractive.
While all of these children had been fully trained warriors which were a given their parents also allowed them the freedom on reaching adulthood to choose what they'd wish to do with their lives.
About 25% of Sisterhood's children had gone to Snotlout wife's Raven's Modeling Agency to model while another 25% had formed a fashion line for the modeling company. As a result, 50% of the Sisterhood's children were doing fashion and modeling.
The other 50%? 25% were some type of performer. Singer, Dancer, and Actor. The last 25% were artist, musicians, and writers.
So all in all the children of the Sisterhood had sought to be in the spotlight and express themselves creatively rather than fight anymore. Which was just fine with there parents who again had all raised them to be whoever they wanted them to be as long as they're happy.
Kara herself was still happy to be the Berk High School though when she had insisted to her husband he must take a mortal job when they got married as they're going to spend time on Earth he was reluctant at first.
People would assume that Azrael as the Head Angel of Death would naturally take a job at a church or the likes of that when he had to be in the human world with his wife and twins.
What he ended up doing was challenging himself by going through a series of jobs from the temp agency doing all of them without any of his powers completely and totally mortal.
Finally, after 3 years of dead-end jobs and minimum wage, he seemed to have shown his wife that he was humble, honest, and a hard worker. She told him that she was impressed he had done all that for various reasons and it was a good lesson for the kids. Now go get a job he was happy with.
He ended up being a grief counselor for the trauma centers in Dragon City as that where his talents were best used and he and Kara had had a very good marriage and done an excellent job raising Angela and Gabriel with a lot of help from the Haddocks.
All in all everyone in Dragon City had come a long way over the last few decades and it was gonna be quite interesting to see what the Next Generation Riders did as well their Dragon Dogs did come the next school year!
