Okay.

Now one of GD98's reviews caught me interesting and made me created this new chapter all about the jealously of Stryka. Why? Because Lani's Sand Wraith is good friend with Toothless years ago before depart to Skerry Island.

And, no, don't you guys think that Sandstorm is "stealing" Toothless away from Stryka. You guys will read this chapter and find more.

Please enjoy!

Stryka's Jealously

Lani wrote a reply letter and sent Applesauce back to Skerry Island with it. Meanwhile, Stryka was a distance away as she watched Toothless and Sandstorm, who were growling and barking like they were chatting, from the opposite direction of the Great Hall.

"What is this feeling? Why am I feeling so weird and strange?" Stryka muttered and then, her eye widened when she realized something what Zenna said from yesterday. "No, no, no! I can't feel that! No way! Ugh…seriously…? When Zenna said this 'jealous' word, oh, gods, why am I feeling this jealousness?!"

"My queen? Is there something bothering you?" a male dragon with a deep voice asked her from behind. Stryka was slightly startled by that. She turned around and found Skullcrusher, who once belonged to the late Chief of Berk and now Eret's dragon.

"Oh, Skullcrusher!" Stryka slightly exclaimed. "Uh, nothing's the matter!"

Skullcrusher was confused by his queen's words. "Are you sure? You've been watching Toothless and that Sandstorm for quite a long time."

"Y-Y-You notice?!" Stryka said, a bit shocked.

"Something is bothering you, isn't it? Why don't you go over there and talk to them? And maybe you'll get along with Sandstorm," he suggested.

Stryka shook her head a bit and looked at her mate and the Sand Wraith. She let out a sigh. "Okay… Maybe I should talk to them. And… I guess I should get along with Sandstorm, if I get to know her right." With that, the female Night Fury went to her mate and the Sand Wraith.

"Really? I see now…" Toothless said to Sandstorm.

"Yup. He's very nice, kind, and lovely dragon," she said with a smile. That was when the male Night Fury noticed his mate approaching them.

"Stryka. Hello, my love," he greeted his beloved mate.

"Yes, to you too," she greeted back with a warm smile before she looked at Sandstorm with a suspicious look.

Sandstorm bowed down in respect. "Hello, my queen. Sorry, I was having a chat with your mate for a while."

"Yes, I am aware of that. I heard from your rider that you were good friends with my mate. Care to explain how you two… met?" Stryka asked.

"Sure," Sandstorm said in glee. "You see, five years since the Dragon Raid was over, my rider and I went to Hiccup's place because my rider created a peg leg for Hiccup."

"Yeah. When I first met them, I was quite stunned to see Lani looked exactly like Hiccup. Sandstorm, Lani and I quickly became friends. Although Hiccup was out cold at that time, after the fight against our former queen, the Red Death. Lani placed the peg leg onto Hiccup's missing left leg. I've noticed that Lani also lost his left leg, but that was different," Toothless said.

"Uh huh. My rider lost his left leg during the Dragon Raid," the female Sand Wraith added.

Stryka was amazed by that story. "Oh, I see now… That explains." But then the female Night Fury asked a question. "But… how come I never meet you, Sandstorm?"

"Ah… Because my rider received a letter from Skerry Island's chief, who was good friend of Lani's father. We departed Berk and spent our lives in Skerry Island for five years," Sandstorm explained.

"Did you and your rider found anything interesting in that island?" Toothless asked.

"Well, yes. A lot of discoveries were made when my rider and I went exploring the other islands. We even discovered new dragons that we've never seen before," she answered. "Our adventure in Skerry Island was fun."

"Wow. I wish I was there," Toothless said in an interested tone. This made Stryka worry and jealous, but she held them back. "A-Anyway… Have you and your rider met any enemies?" she asked.

"Well… A few of them. But there's someone that I hate the most, and so does my rider," Sandstorm replied.

"Really? Who is it?" Toothless asked, feeling a little concerned.

"There's a wealthy man who steals fortunes. His plan was to take over Skerry Island."

The Alphas were shocked to hear that. "Oh my, gods… And what happened?" Stryka asked.

"My rider and I were able to foil his plans, with the help of our friends and their dragons from Skerry Island," Sandstorm said.

"Phew… That's good to hear," Toothless sighed.

"But… He'll always come back and have revenge on me and my rider for ruining his plans," the female Sand Wraith added. "And most of all… I was once captured by him and Lani was willing to risk his life to save me without the aid of our friends." Toothless and Stryka were shocked to hear that!

"B-But then... How did Lani save you from that wealthy man?" Toothless asked worriedly.

"Calm down, Your Majesty. Lani had a few tricks on his sleeve. He was able to outsmart that wealthy man and caught him off guard. By the look of his face… it sure was funny!"

"Really? What happened to him?" Stryka asked her curiously. Sandstorm told everything about the wealthy man to the Alphas. Toothless and Stryka could not help but burst out laughing!

"Are you serious?! Oh, gods, I wish I was there to see that!" Toothless laughed.

"Me too!" Stryka added while laughing.

"Yup! It happened so fast that he didn't see that!" Sandstorm laughed crazily.

When they stopped laughing, Stryka asked Sandstorm, "So… Sandstorm, do you have a… mate?"

"Yes. I do have a mate," she said. The female Night Fury's eye widened in surprise. "R-Really?" she asked.

"Yes, she does. We were just talking about her mate a moment ago before you came over here," Toothless said. This made his mate to sigh in relief.

"Oh gods… That's good to hear. I thought Sandstorm was taking you away, my love," she said.

Her words shocked both Sandstorm and Toothless. "W-Wh-What?!" The female Sand Wraith exclaimed.

"Stryka! Why would you say that?!" Toothless was terribly shocked when his beloved mate said that!

The female Night Fury smiled sheepishly. "S-Sorry! I guess I was overthinking too much about you two…"

"Why? Was it because you're… jealous?" Sandstorm asked politely. This makes Stryka to slightly bow down her head in embarrassment.

"Y-Yeah… Because the other day, Zenna said this 'jealous' word that I've never heard before," she explained.

"Oh, Stryka…" Toothless came up to her and nuzzled her lovingly. "I'm sorry… I should have noticed that sooner."

"N-No! Don't blame yourself, my love! I-I was just overthinking too much, that's all!" Stryka said before she faced Sandstorm. "Anyways, can you tell me about your mate? How does he look like? How does it feel when you're with him? How did you two met?"

Sandstorm chuckled at Stryka's questions. "Well…" She began to tell everything about her mate to Stryka.

Done! I guess I typed this chapter quite quickly. My headache is gone now and I feel better now.
