Here is chapter... 4 I think? Rather short but it's very important! Just some Daddy-Daughter bonding and a cliff hanger. Literally.

The song is sung by Sofia Carson. It's called Why don't I? I do not own it.

On with the chapter!


Breath in. Breath out. Breath in. Breath out. Zephyr's mind quickly went over the events which had went over in the past hour. She broke down into tears again.

Here she was. At one of the highest cliffs of Berk and the place the dragons left. It was the most peaceful place on the island. It looked beautiful at anytime. At night, the stars twinkled, at sunrise, birds of all colors chirped and flew, at sunset, the sky was painted the most amazing colors. She understood why her father loved the sky.

This was a place where she came when she needed space. She tried. Very hard, to fulfill the expectations of the tribe. To be perfect and not screw up. To be patient and open-minded. To be smart and cunning on the battlefield. So many expectations while she was young and should have been enjoying her life. The tears were streaming down her face harder now.

"Zephyr?" A nasally voice called out. Zephyr turned to see her father standing at the outskirts of the woods with an anxious expression on his face.

Oh! H-H-Hi Dad!" Zeph stammered out while frantically rubbing tears from her eyes.

Within 3 long strides, Hiccup was giving her a bear hug while Zeph cried out all the feeling she had been holding in for the past few years.

"Shhhh now. It's going to be okay. Everything will be fine." Hiccup cooed

After she finished crying, she turned to look at her father.

"How are you feeling?" He asked gently

"Like a piece of yak dung." Zeph muttered

"Because of Hrithik?" Hiccup inquired

"It's just all these expectations!"

"I thought you were coping very well sweetie."

"Dad, I don't know!"

"What do you not know?"

"Who I wanna be anymore!"

This statement stunned Hiccup. Ohhhhhhh. When he was 18, he had adventure, friendship, excitement, danger. Above all that he had Toothless. With Toothless' help, he became a good chieftain and after he left he had Astrid and his mum. But her? She was to behave and be dignified. Attend council meetings and gatherings. Eventually she would marry and have kids. But, would she ever be happy? She was energetic. she shouldn't be focused on being chieftess. She should be enjoying her life!

Hiccup felt guilty that he couldn't do anything about it.

Zeph turned to the sky painted by the sunset. She went to the edge of the cliff and just stood breathing for a while.

After a while, she turned to her father and said, "Dad, I'm not meant to be chief."

"WHAT?! WHO TOLD YOU THIS? WAS IT SPITELOUT?! I SWEAR TO ODIN I WILL-" Hiccup ranted interrupted by Zephyr

"It's not Spitelout Dad. I can feel it. this is not who I am." She turned back and softly started to sing in the most melodious voice heard

I've never been one

To step out of my comfort zone

I've never been one to break free

Tears started to form in her aqua eyes

Cause I've always cared what everyone thinks of me.

Don't know why I run, don't know why I hide

Never let them know what I feel inside

Tears start to fall from her eyes as she looks at the clouds

I don't want to settle, don't want to run

This is not where I belong.

Zephyr outstretches her arms and takes a deep breath before continuing

Like a bird, I'm free to fly

Spread my wings and find my life

Like a bird, I'm up so high

So tell me, tell me

Why don't I?

The last of her tears spill and she turns and smiles at her awe-struck father. Before he can say anything, the ground under her rumbles and collapses. Zephyr doesn't scream. She can feel this is part of her destiny.


*rubs hands* Alright now we are getting somewhere! What will happen next? Will Zephyr survive? What is Zeph's destiny? Will Hiccup do anything? Will Hrithik be punished? Should I get some sleep seeing as it's a school night? Yes, yes I should.

The next chapter should be up tomorrow or the day after. Until then though, bye!
