Because Togruta, Twileks and Cathar are playable species in SWTOR, Ashara, Umakyo, Laylahlu, Ares, Katara and Bengal resemble them.

Chapter 11: Flying and a New Alliance

No sooner after they had asked themselves that question Skywalker collapsed with a groan. Ashara quickly knelt down by her new-found Soul-Dragon and Rexter flew over and landed on top of the Stormcutteer, both of them checking his wounds and injuries. "He is injured. We need to heal him now!" The female Togruta yelled, feeling her first Soul-Dragon's pain and exhaustion through their Bond. "We have two Phoenixes and four vials of Purified Phoenix Tears, will those help?" Aniu asked, stepping forward and detaching her vial of Phoenix Tears from her belt with Hiccup, Astrid on one side, Nava on the other and Solarfira and Breezius flanking them. "My fellow Jedi and I are talented at Force-Meditation Healing." Laylahlu said. "Triton and I can use Elf-Fae magic to heal him, if we all work together and use our respective means of healing." Serenity added. "All right, let us do it." Ashara said and stood in a square around Skywalker with Umakyo, Laylahlu and Ares who readied themselves for meditation.

Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava stood at his mouth, ready to pour their Phoenix Tears down his throat. Solarfira, Breezius, Serenity and Triton fill in the gaps to make sure everyone except for the four Soul-Mates were standing at an equal distance away from each other and Skywalker. Rexter, Ashara's Terrible Terror Soul-Dragon waited until they were all ready and gave him a signal. "All right, begin!" He roared loud enough for the healers to hear him. Ashara, Umakyo, Laylahlu and Ares began meditating with their hands clasped together. A bright blue light surrounded them and began seeping into Skywalker's scales. "Truh neeb sah tahw laeh." Serenity and Triton chanted. "heal what has been hurt." Was the proper translation for their spell. Solarfira and Breezius cried tears into every wound they saw on the young male Stormcutter's body and Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava uncorked their vials of Purified Phoenix Tears and poured them down Skywalker's throat. The Stormcutter opened his mouth to let them do so.

As they watched them heal Skywalker, Toothless, Stormfly, Heatwave and Icicle felt the urge to help a fellow dragon in need and they shape-shifted back into their Humanoid Forms, walked over and held their hands out to Skywalker. "Truh neeb sah tahw laeh." They chanted and their healing magic joined the flow of magic and the Force flowing into Skywalker. Within minutes, the Stomcutter was fully healed and everyone cut off the flow of Phoenix Tears, Force Healing and Elf-Fae magic, backing away. Skywalker stood up and faced Ashara who felt strengthened by their Bond now that her first Soul-Dragon had been healed. "Thank you all for healing me." He told everyone even though he was facing only Ashara. The tired Healers nodded and Elenia, Treewing, Lunastar and Softmane walked over to Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid, Stormfly, Aniu, Heatwave, Nava and Icicle. "Well done, you eight have learned how to heal with either your vials of Purified Phoenix Tears or the magic of Elf-Faes. We are proud of you." The Griffin, Peryton, Alicorn and Hippogriff said. Their students smiled and bowed.

"Masters, now that Ashara and Laylahlu have their own Soul-Dragons, when will they begin learning what we have learned?" Aniu asked. "They need time for their Bonds to settle and once you eight have completed your training from us, we will teach them." Elenia said, projecting her voice to everyone in the Cove. "But how long is that going to take? How many more lessons have we got to learn?" Astrid inquired. "Toothless, Stormfly, Heatwave and Icicle have much more to learn than you and after that, all of us will be improving our skills, through training and practicing. You know what they say 'practice makes perfect' and we will be testing our limits and breaking through until we can fight a whole group of enemies and win. We learn something new every day and that is what we will do." Treewing said. "Anyway, it is time we all introduced ourselves as we have not yet had the opportunity. New arrivals first." Lunastar said and so began a very long list of introductions.

Everyone said their names, what they were, where they were from, what relations they had with others and why they were there. All in all, it took a few hours and when they done, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that is all out of way, it is time for Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava to learn how to glide in their Dragon Forms. If you will..." Softmane said and Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava shape-shifted into their Dragon Forms, drawing gasps of awe and amazement from the newcomers. Laylahlu, Ares, Ashara and Umakyo approached their Soul-Siblings and gazed up at them, open-mouthed and wide-eyes in awe. When, Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava gestured at themselves, their Soul-Siblings ran their hands over their scales, admiring them before stepping back. "Can you show us your other Forms?" Umakyo asked. Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava nodded and shape-shifted in their Reindeer and Dire Wolf Forms then their Barn Owl and golden Eagles, drawing more gasps of amazement and awe from the new comers.

Smiling, Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava shape-shifted back into their Dragon Forms and bowed. "Hey, will Ashara and I get Dragon Forms too since we are both Soul-Bonded to a dragon?" Laylahlu asked. "Yes, you two will. Because they are both Elf-Faes, Aniu and Nava already had gained their Dragon Forms when they were ten years old but Astrid and I gained ours when we Soul-Bonded to Stormfly and Toothless, although we had to wait until our Bonds had developed enough." Hiccup said. "And because both you and Ashara have Soul-Bonded to a dragon, both of you will gain the ability to shape-shift into the same Form as your dragon. The same goes with Soul-Bonding to a Familiar and a Soul-Siblings which means you two and your fellow Aliens will gain the Forms of your Familiars and you, Ares, Ashara and Umakyo will gain our Forms. That does not mean shape-shifting into us, it means shape-shifting into your own Elf-Fae and Human bodies." Nava explained.

Still pondering what Hiccup and Nava had explained, Diana and Timothy approached Elenia, Treewing, Lunastar and Softmane. "Excuse me. We left our ship, the one we arrived in and we would like to fly it in here and park it somewhere. Can we do that?" They asked. "Yes, you two can but we must begin teaching Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava how to glide now. Both of you may go." Treewing said. Both Mikkians smiled and walked away with Carina, Jasper, Harris and Roxanne at their sides. "Before you two go, we would like to show you our other Forms." Serenity and Triton said. Diana and Timothy stopped and turned to them, as did everyone else. Making sure they had everyone's attention, Serenity and Triton smiled and shape-shifted into their Bird Forms. Serenity's Bird Form was a Dove with pure white feathers, golden-brown pigeon markings and forest green eyes. Triton's Bird Form was also a Dove but with iron grey feathers, earth brown pigeon markings and ice blue eyes.

Then they shape-shifted into their Mammal Forms, both of them were Elks. Serenity had pure white fur shaded in several places with golden-brown highlights and antlers and forest green eyes and hooves. Triton had iron grey fur shaded in several places with earth brown highlights and antlers and ice blue eyes and hooves. As for their Dragon Forms when they shape-shifted into them, Serenity was a dragon with a slightly elongated western body, four slim, long legs tipped in sharp, bright claws, a long neck supporting a narrow head with slim, curling horns and another one on the nose, two large, narrowed wings and a long, slim tail bearing a plume like peacock tail feathers. A line of large, shimmering crests began at the back of her skull and ended at the tip of her tail. Serenity's scales were pure white but shimmered in every colour of the rainbow. Just glancing at them made them feel calmer and more serene and peaceful. Her eyes and horns were forest green and her spinal crests and claws golden-brown. She was astonishingly beautiful and her voice was very musical like a siren's when she spoke. "My Dragon Form is a dragon known as an Aurora Singer. We are quite like siren's and this is how I breathe fire." She said and breathed out a plume of gorgeous rainbow-coloured fire.

Triton's Dragon Form was a Whispering Death with iron grey scales, earth brown spikes and horns and ice blue eyes and under-scales. Everyone stared at them in awe and amazement, particularly Serenity's Dragon Form. Diana and Timothy took a moment to admire them and left the Cove with their Familiars to get their ship. Now that the show was over, Elenia, Treewing, Lunastar and Softmane turned back to Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava who waited patiently for the lesson to begin. "All right, every dragon learns how to fly by gliding from to ledge, cliff edge to cliff edge and then sea stack to sea stack until they finally gain the instincts and training needed to fly so that is what we will do with you four." Elenia said. "Look around you, there are ledges and other objects you four can use to glide. Here, we will show you four where we want you to begin and how to glide, although your instincts may already know how to do that." Lunastar said.

Their teachers led Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava to a hill in the Cove and told them to climb to the top then jump off the edge, spread their wings, flap them, try to stay back up, belly down and land safely. "All right, my loves, let us do this." Aniu grinned brightly as she and her Soul-Mates climbed to the top of the hill. "I wonder which one of us will glide the longest." Astrid smirked. "I am betting on Aniu. She is an Air Elemental after all." Nava replied, smiling at the first Soul-Mate of his he had ever met. "Guys, it is not a competition and if you guys do not shut up, I might have to kiss it out of you." Hiccup said, feeling uncharacteristically bold, confident and dare he say it...sexy. Apparently, Nava thought so too because he turned back to Hiccup with a look that could only be described as loving lust in his gorgeous sapphire blue eyes. "Or we could kiss it out of you. Now get back into your Human Form." He growled seductively. Having a feeling he knew what Nava was going to do, Hiccup shape-shifted back into his Human Form as Nava did the same.

In less than a second, Nava had lunged forward, gripped the back of Hiccup's head in one hand and his upper back in the other and captured Hiccup's lips in a passionate kiss which Hiccup eagerly returned. Both boys moaned into each other's mouths and to them, their moans were among the several most amazing and wonderful sounds in the universe. The feel and taste of their lips and saliva meshing and mixing, the feel of their hands and the thudding of their heartbeats falling into rhythm made the experience even more surreal and special. Their first kiss had been a simple one, pressing their lips together and then parting seconds later but their second kiss was even more passionate. Hiccup and Nava separated seconds later, breathing heavily and a small, thin string of saliva connecting their lips. "That was just...wow." Hiccup gasped. "Amazing? Wonderful? Intimate? Surreal?" Nava listed out a bunch of adjectives he could use to describe their second kiss. "All of them. I love you, Nava, my Soul-Mate." Hiccup whispered.

Nava smiled brightly, tears of joy gathering at the corners of his shining eyes. "I love you too, Hiccup, my Soul-Mate." He replied. The sounds of smacking lips and moans caught their attention and Hiccup and Nava turned to see Astrid and Aniu kissing just as passionately as they were. Their breasts were nearly touching and their hands were tangled in each other's hair. After several seconds, they parted and looked at their drooling, male Soul-Mates. "What is wrong, boys? You two are not the only ones who can kiss." Astrid said. "As much as I would like to kiss you three again, we should really get going." Aniu said so they reluctantly shape-shifted back into their Dragon Forms and continued the walk up the hill. When they reached the top, the four Soul-Mates realized why Elenia, Treewing, Lunastar and Softmane had chosen this spot for learning how to glide. The flattened top of the hill was long and flat enough for them to take a running start and was high enough and far enough away from the nearest Cove wall for them to glide as far and high as they could and land safely without crashing into anything.

Solarfira, Breezius, Sorina, Stryker, Caruso and Zena were waiting for them at the top. "What took you four so long?" Solarfira inquired, cocking her head at them. "Um...we kissed." Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava glanced at each other. The six birds smiled. "As wonderful as that is, we best begin our gliding lessons, one at a time." Solarfira said. "Solarfira, Sorina, Stryker, Caruso, Zena and I will fly escort for each of you to ensure nothing goes wrong and you land safely. Shall we begin?" Breezius added. Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava glanced at each other, nodded excitedly in reply and lined up with Hiccup first, Astrid second, Aniu third and Nava fourth. "All right, let us begin." Breezius sang and lifted his wings slightly. A breeze began blowing from the hill top in the direction they were supposed to glide. "As you can feel, I have manipulated the air to help each of you. Once you all have grown accustomed to gliding, I will dispel it. Hiccup, because you are first in line, you shall go first." Breezius said.

Taking a deep breath and feeling emboldened as his confidence grew from his Soul-Mates And Familiar's encouragements, Hiccup stepped forward and when Solarfira and Breezius gave the signal, ran forward and jumped off the edge of the hill, spreading his wings and feeling the captured air lift him higher into the sky, keeping him aloft as he sailed through the sky. Solarfira and Breezius flew beside him as he began to lose altitude. "All right, Hiccup, begin flapping your wings not too fast or frenzied." Solarfira instructed. Following his instincts, Hiccup began flapping his wings enough to keep him in the sky and he regained altitude slightly but still descended lower and lower until he had to land. Hiccup looked back at the top of the hill on the other side of the Cove and was surprised to find he had managed to glide an impressive distance for a first timer. Solarfira and Breezius landed on either side of him, smiling happily. "Well done, at this rate, you will be flying by tomorrow." Breezius praised. "You are undoubtedly a speedy, fast flier with exemplary reflexes and eyesight. Those are essential to being a good flier, especially for Night Furies." Solarfira said.

"Toothless will be proud of you. Let us go back to the hill." Breezius said and they walked back to the top of the hill where Astrid, Aniu and Nava were waiting for them. They instantly swarmed around Hiccup and Sorina landed on top of her Familiar's back. "Your gliding was marvellous and I believe your flying will even more so." Sorina said, giving one of Hiccup's sensor plates a friendly peck with her beak. Astrid, Aniu and Nava complimented him with their own praises before Solarfira and Breezius told them to get in line and Hiccup to get in the back behind Nava. After Hiccup's successful first glide, Astrid was rearing to go. She barely even waited for Solarfira and Breezius's signal before running forward, jumping off the edge of the hill, spreading her wings and gliding through the air. Astrid's strength allowed her to stay in the sky longer than Hiccup but because he was faster than her, she did not get as far when she landed. Nevertheless, she was still proud of her success, as were the two Phoenixes, her Golden Eagle Familiar and her Soul-Mates.

Aniu's first glide was a success as well but alas she could not stay in the sky as long as Astrid or glide as far as Hiccup did because she lacked their strength and speed. Despite all that, Solarfira and Breezius had no doubt Aniu would be a very agile flier which pleased her greatly. As for Nava, his first glide was a success as well which made him, his Soul-Mates, Zena, Solarfira and Breezius very happy. Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava were all smiles and giddy excitement as they lined up again, as were Sorina, Stryker, Caruso, Zena, Solarfira and Breezius. Each of the four Soul-Mates won nuzzles and hugs as rewards. Toothless, Stormfly, Heatwave and Icicle came up to watch in their Humanoid Forms and so did Laylahlu, Ares, Ashara, Umakyo, Sprinter, Akira, Edme and Artemis, emboldening and encouraging Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava to do better and better with each glide with their presences, happy smiles and watchful eyes.

Solarfira and Breezius made Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava glide again and again and again until a miracle happened for each of them. With each glide they made, their flying instincts grew stronger and stronger and stronger until Hiccup suddenly knew how to fly mid-glide and letting his instincts take control, Hiccup power-flapped his wings and rose higher and higher into the sky, exhilaration and joy flooding through his system as he levelled out, flipped himself tail-up and head down, tucked his wings close to his body and dived down, pulling up when he nearly hit the ground and flying in a circle around the entire circumference of the Cove. The sound of wing beats made Hiccup look to his side and he saw Toothless in his Night Fury Form flying alongside him, beaming joyfully. Astrid, Stormfly, Aniu, Heatwave, Nava and Icicle joined them seconds later, each of them flying side by side for the first time in forever. Oh, it was freedom and joy at their finest, to fly so high with each other. "Does flying as a dragon feel the way you thought it would?" Toothless, Stormfly, Heatwave and Icicle asked their Soul-Riders. "No, it feels much better than I could have imagined." Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava replied.

The moment seemed to last forever when in fact it was only two hours. Elenia, Treewing, Lunastar and Softmane let them enjoy their freedom and called them back to the hill top so Heatwave and Icicle could learn how to fly and glide in their Elf-Fae Forms. Toothless and Stormfly did not have wings in their Human Forms so they could not join in, instead they watched from the sides with an arm around Hiccup and Astrid's each and cheered Heatwave and Icicle on. The Summer Dragon and Winter Dragon-in-Elf-Fae-Forms learned how to glide much the same way as Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava did in their Dragon Forms. Aniu and Nava flew alongside Heatwave and Icicle as they glided and eventually flew for another two hours before they all joined the rest of the Cove Campers in the camp to celebrate. Learning how to fly was a momentous occasion for dragons and was celebrated with a feast of the finest food and water they could find, songs, dancing, gifts and games.

In fact, when they mentioned music, Diana and Timothy ran back into their ship which they had parked and camouflaged in an open area bare of rocks, trees and bushes and came back out with a strange box with differently buttons and strange things on it. "This is called a music player, one of the most popular and famous technological inventions in the entire galaxy." Diana announced. "Seriously, they can be found everywhere and I mean everywhere, in homes, cantinas and all you have to do is choose you want to listen to and press play. Here, we have a brilliant song." Timothy added. He bent down and pressing buttons until, to everyone's surprise and amazement, music began to play. "This song is called 'To the Sky'. I think it will suit what we are celebrating." Diana said. The song began with what sounded like a harp being played then it was joined by other music. Then someone began singing:

"Da, da...da, da...da, da, da, da,

Shipwreck in a sea of faces
There's a dreamy world up there
Dear friends in higher places
Carry me away from here

Travel light, let the sun eclipse you
'Cause your flight is about to leave
And there's more to this brave adventure
Than you'd ever believe

Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky

The man stopped singing and more music played

(you take to the sky)

Da, da, ...da, da...da, da, da, da

On the heels of war and wonder
There's a stormy world up there
You can't whisper above the thunder
But you can fly anywhere

Purple burst of paper birds
This picture paints a thousand words
So take a breath of myth and mystery
And don't look back

Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky

The man stopped singing and more music played

(you take to the sky)

Da, da, ...da, da...da, da, da, da

There's a realm above the trees
Where the lost are finally found
Touch your feathers to the breeze
And leave the ground

Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky
(You take to the sky)

Da, da, ...da, da...da, da, da, da
(You take to the sky)

The song ended and Diana pressed another button to pause it before another song played. "What did you guys think of that one?" She asked brightly. Everyone except for the aliens were amazed that their new friends from worlds far, far away had such things and it led to them asking question after question about the technology they had and so many other questions that Laylahlu, Ares, Ashara, Umakyo, Katara, Bengal, Diana and Timothy were getting overwhelmed. "All right, that is enough questions. We will tell you lot all we can the next opportunity we get but now what is for dinner and when is it going to be ready? I am starving." The female Togruta rubbed her belly for emphasize. "Ebony, Crowden, Aleron, Darkfang, Lilith, Amaya, Spike, Magnus, Sera, Bolt, Electra, Spark and I were out hunting to get some more food because we did not think we had enough leftovers." Raven said. "Good thinking, Raven. We better begin preparing dinner." Toothless said smiling at her. Raven smiled back at him.

Dinner preparations were well underway and Laylahlu, Ares, Ashara, Umakyo, Katara, Bengal, Diana and Timothy helped as well as they could with the aid of their Familiars. Ashara noticed Olympia gazing longingly at a vole and tasking pity on her Familiar, picked it up, ignoring the blood and messy fur and gave it to the female Peregrine Falcon. "Thank you, Ashara. I could have gotten it myself but you did a very kind thing for me." She said. "You are welcome, Olympia. I do not want you going hungry." The female Togruta replied. Beside them, Simba was gathering food for himself, blood running down the male lion's chin. Dinner was soon ready and everyone began eating amidst a gale of conversations and laughter. The four Soul-Mates chose to sit with their Soul-Siblings, Hiccup sat with Laylahlu, Astrid sat with Ares, Aniu sat with Ashara and Nava sat with Umakyo. The aliens asked many questions about the food they were eating and the others answered as many questions as well as they could.

Dinner was soon eaten and everyone began getting ready for bed, Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava stayed together a few minutes to talk before split up that night to sleep beside their respective Soul-Siblings in their Humanoid Forms. "I did not think we would have Soul-Siblings as well but now we do..." Hiccup trailed off. "It is amazing. It feels like we have a sibling who truly understands us and we can tell them anything and they will help us." Astrid said. "I always wanted a sister my own age, one who shares my interests and skills. Now, I have one and I love her already." Aniu said. "So now each of us have three Soul-Mates, two Familiars, one Soul-Dragon and one Soul-Siblings. Aniu even has two Soul-Phoenixes!" Nava tallied. "Yeah, it makes me wonder how many more Soul-Bonds we will get. I still remember those four Terrible Terrors in the arena." Aniu said. "I never had a sibling ever since my twin sister Hannah was taken away but now I do, it is a surreal experience." Hiccup said.

"You guys know what else is a surreal experience?" Nava asked and everyone looked at him. "When we kiss. It may be because we are Soul-Mates but when we kiss, it is just...so natural...so intimate and so...wonderful." Nava said. "I know how you feel. When we kiss and cuddle, I feel so safe, so protected, so loved, so cared for and...and...I do not know else to say." Aniu said. "I do. When any of us kiss each other, I feel like nothing could ever hurt me, we will all be safe together and not a thing or person in the world can tear us apart." Hiccup said. "What amazes me is that each of us have only kissed four times and we already feel this way. I guess one more kiss could not hurt." Astrid grinned. Her Soul-Mates grinned in agreement and Hiccup and Aniu, Astrid and Nava paired up, holding hands and leaning in close to one another. Their lips met and melded together, the pleasure drawing moans from their mouths. Hiccup and Aniu, Astrid and Nava kissed until they parted to smile and stare into each other's eyes. "I love you, my Soul-Mate." They whispered. The four Soul-Mates wished their moment could last forever but alas, they were tired and needed to sleep.

"I thought you would want to sleep with your Soul-Mates tonight." Laylahlu told Hiccup as they unravelled their sleeping rolls. "We sleep together every night but since you guys are here and bed-sharing with siblings is common behaviour on Berk, I thought 'why, not'. Unless you do not want me sleeping beside you?" Hiccup replied. "No, it is okay. I used to share a bed with Cena, my twin sister, Tivva, our older sister and Cera, our mother before...we were taken by slavers." Her voice grew sad and distant.

"Wait, there are slavers in the galaxy and some targeted you and your family?" Hiccup asked in shock. "Unfortunately, yes. The galaxy we live in is an extremely big place with about over a billion or so planets inhabited by sentient species which means there are all sorts of people. Twileks like me are prized for slavery because of our beauty and our meek and submissive natures, well, most of least at least. I was taken...to be...a sex slave...by a fat Hutt and separated from my family when I was five years old. I was enslaved there for a whole year before a team of Jedi and Republic Troopers began ransacking the Hutt's palace, arresting everyone and freeing the slaves. I experienced many horrors there and was scared but a Jedi said he could sense the Force in me and took me to the Jedi Temple on Tython so I could be raised and trained as a Jedi Consular." Laylahlu finished her story with a saddened breath and looked at Hiccup who gently wrapped his arms around the female Twilek and hugged her, gently rubbing her lekku, earning him purrs of bliss from Laylahlu and making him draw back in surprise. "Sorry about that. Do not worry, Twileks have sensitive lekku and rubbing them is a great way to calm us." Laylahlu said. Amazed by that new information, Hiccup asked Laylahlu more questions about her species before they went to sleep.


Meanwhile, Fengo, Namara and Arin were dining with Theo, Nala, Mira, Arthur, Ingrid, Finnley and Erikin Hofferson in their home. Namara and Ingrid were discussing their pregnancies with Nala and how excited they were for the newest additions to their families. "Ah, this meal was wonderful. I did not know chicken could be cooked in so many ways. Anyway, what did you guys want to talk to us about?" Arthur asked Fengo and Theo who glanced at each other along with their wives and their children. Anxiety welled in their hearts and all of them sighed. "Arthur, Ingrid, there are some things you and your sons must know about why we moved to live on Berk." Fengo said. When Arthur, Ingrid, Finnley and Erikin stared at them, waiting to hear what they had to say, Namara took over, resting her hands on her swollen belly. "We believe Hags-Fiends are a part of the reason why dragons are our enemies." She said and the Hofferson Family gasped.

"What do you lot mean?" Ingrid asked, cradling her belly protectively in shock. "We mean that even though Berk is at war with dragons, Hags-Fiends have always been our most hated and feared enemy." Theo said. "You have heard tales of what Hags-Fiends do and are like. They are infamous for framing different people for different crimes and setting them against each other in a war to the death." Nala added. "You Vikings believe dragons are monstrous animals. Forgive me for saying this but dragons are just as intelligent and sophisticated as we are." Fengo said. "I see your points, the dragons that attack or organized and know exactly what to do to weaken us." Arthur said. "How do you lot know dragons are just as intelligent and sophisticated as us?" Ingrid asked. "Because we have dragons on Elf-Fae and we can understand their language through words and expressions." Namara said. "Unlike the dragons that attack Berk, the ones on Elf-Fae Island are peaceful and coexist in peace with us." Theo said.

"If Elf-Faes can form alliances and friendships with dragons, why cannot Human Vikings from the Island of Berk?" Nala asked. "So we came here to find out why dragons are attacking Berk, if the Hags-Fiends are involved and how we can end the war." Fengo said, sensing hope rise in the Hofferson family. "The Vikings of Berk have been at war with dragons for three centuries and millions have died. It is time to end the war before it is too late. Do you really want our children born in a war where suffering and death are imminent? Are you with us?" Namara inquired. Arthur and Ingrid glanced at each other and sighed. "All we ever wanted was for our Tribe to live and prosper in peace without the threat of dragons attack hanging over our heads. We want to build a better life for our children so they do not know what it is like to live in a time of war on a battlefield. If the dragons are victims just like us and peace between Vikings and Dragons is possible, we will take that chance and every chance we ever get for peace and an end to war." Ingrid said and relieved, joyful smiled spread over the faces of the Elf-Faes.

Arthur smiled and stood up. "I agree with every word my wife has said and I will gladly offer every weapon and breath at my disposal, my life and a vow of loyalty so we can form an alliance of Vikings and Elf-Faes who believe peace, unity and coexistence is possible between Vikings, Elf-Faes AND Dragons. I vow to aid you in your crusade to bring peace, an end to the war and an alliance with dragons, this I do swear on my honour and life as a Viking of the Hooligan Tribe of Berk and a Hofferson Warrior." He drew his axe, held it upright with the tips on the ground and knelt behind it. Ingrid also repeated her husband's oath with her own weapon, as did Finnley and and Erikin. Beaming with joy and tears of relief in their eyes, Fengo, Namara, Theo, Nala, Arin and Mira helped their new allies to their feet and kissed them on their foreheads. "We accept your oath and pledge of loyalty with much joy. May our alliance and friendship prosper and flourish until the end of time." They said.

With their vow and loyalty accepted, Arthur, Ingrid, Finnley and Erikin smiled widely. "So, now that is all over and done with, my family and I have noticed Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava have been disappearing and only coming back for their...Dragon Training...classes." Ingrid said. Now that she knew the truth about dragons, the words left a bad taste in her mouth. "Are they finding a way to end the war?" Finnley asked, holding his younger brother closer to his side. "Yes, they are, Finnley. I am not really sure what they are doing though." Arin said. "They could be making friends with dragons." Erikin said innocently and Arin's eyes widened at how accurate his statement. "When the war is over, we can make friends with dragons too." Mira said. "Indeed, we can, darling. Although each of you have to promise to tell no one what we have discussed, all right." Fengo raised an eyebrow. "We promise. Everyone chimed.

"If word of this reaches someone like Mildew's ears...well, he hates Elf-Faes enough as it is." Ingrid sighed. "I can hardly stop myself from punching the ugly old bastard whenever he shows up." Arthur hissed. "Arthur, watch your language in front of children." Ingrid hissed. "Yes, dear." Arthur said. They continued talking and discussing their newly-made alliance until they went home. Fengo and Namara, Theo and Nala, Arthur and Ingrid tucked their children into bed and retreated into their own bedrooms for private celebrations. Namara gasped and moaned in pleasure as Fengo lavished kiss after kiss onto every bit of exposed skin he could reach. "I wonder how many...aahh...mmm...more people we can...aah...rally to our cause?" She whispered. "I hope it is the entire village except for bloody Mildew the fucking Complainer." Fengo rasped. "In that case, let us forget about him and celebrate." Namara grinned as she and her husband made love that night, being mindful of her pregnancy as they did nearly every single night. Being pregnant resulted in increased hormones after all.


Nava sighed in content as he woke up on his bedroll next to Umakyo who was still asleep on his own bedroll. He still could not believe he had a Soul-Brother his own age and not only that but a Togruta alien Jedi Knight- Guardian Padawan from a world far, far away. I wonder when the next Dragon Training class in the arena is? He mused then Nava's eyes shot open as he remembered Gobber telling him, his Soul-Mates and their class mates that their next class was on Monday...and it was Tuesday! As if sensing his shock, Umakyo woke up. "Nava, what is wrong?" He asked, rubbing his eyes with a red hand. "I just realized my Soul-Mates and I missed a class of so-called Dragon Training, when it is actually learning how to fight and kill dragons in the arena yesterday." Nava exclaimed and Umakyo winced at the volume of his mental voice. "Is there another Dragon Fighting class in the arena today?" He inquired. "Most likely, Gobber holds a class every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday unless something is happening or a student is unable to attend so the next class is postponed." Nava told him.

Umakyo nodded and looked at the campfire where breakfast was already being prepared by Elenia, Treewing, Lunastar, Softmane, Solarfira and Breezius. "What time do the classes begin every day?" He asked. "Nine o'clock in the morning and it takes two hours to get to the arena from here." Nava replied. "It is six o'clock in the morning now. You, Aniu, Hiccup and Astriud will have to leave in an hour at seven o'clock." Umakyo said, instinctively able to tell the time from the sun's location. "We have to have breakfast first. We cannot go through the day on an empty stomach." Nava said and Umakyo chuckled. "So true. I swear Laylahlu eats more than I and she is so small and slim." He said. "Hiccup and Toothless are the same way. I think being fast burns calories quicker than other people." Nava replied and Umakyo nodded. They packed up their bedrolls and joined the others for breakfast. Hiccup sat with Laylahlu, Astrid sat with Ares, Aniu sat with Ashara and Nava sat with Umakyo.

Each of his Soul-Mates had realized what Nava had and they told everyone else, especially Toothless, Stormfly, Heatwave, Icicle, Solarfira, Breezius, Elenia, Treewing, Lunastar and Softmane. "It is all right. We will postpone all lessons until you four come back." Elenia said. "Apologise to Gobber and your classmates. Tell them that you four lose track of time while exploring the forest." Treewing said. "Add in that Aniu and Nava were very much enjoying exploring Berk and you four did not want to leave." Lunastar added. "We will." Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava said then turned to Toothless, Stormfly, Heatwave and Icicle. "We are sorry that you four have to wait for your next lessons. We will be back by this afternoon." They said. "Do not worry. At least we will be able to have fun and socialise with our siblings." Toothless said. "And you will be able to 'socialise' with Raven." Heatwave snicked and Toothless hit him with his tail. "Goodbye, everyone. See you all this afternoon." Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava called out to the Cove Campers and earned their goodbyes in return.

The four Soul-Mates chose to fly in their Bird Forms alongside Sorina, Stryker, Caruso and Zena while Sprinter, Akira, Edme and Artemis ran below them on the ground so they could get there on time to apologize to Gobber which was the first thing Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava when they reached him, Camicazi, Thuggory, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut outside of the arena, instantly landing on the ground, the four Soul-Mates shape-shifted back into their Humanoid Forms. "Gobber, we are so sorry for missing yesterday's class." Hiccup began. "What dragon did we face? What happened to it/" Astrid inquired. "We were exploring in the forest and lost track of time." Aniu said. Camicazi, Thuggory, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut were chuckling and sniggering in amusement. "What are you kids talking about? There was no class yesterday." Gobber said. "What do you mean? Today is Tuesday and there are no classes on the weekends." Nava inquired. "Ah, a few dragons attempted a breakout yesterday and I had to gather some Vikings to hunt them down, truss them up and lock them back in their cages so no class." Gobber explained. "Oh." Hiccup, Astrid, Aniu and Nava said, feeling dumb and stupid. "Ah, do not worry about it, kids. Everyone makes these bloody damn mistakes. Come on." Gobber said and led them...


Has anyone heard the expected release date for season 6 of Dragons: Race to the Edge is FEBRUARY 16th! I better hurry up and watch all of the other episodes before they come up. Viggo, Krogan and TRAITOR JOHANN better get major ass kickings and the Dragon Hunters...deserve to go down or up in flames! Whichever one. Of course, as Diana said in Wonder Woman during her battle against Ares 'It is not about what you deserve, it is about what you believe." Tata! Let us see how many chapters I can publish before February 16. Anyway, anyone like the song? I thought 'To the Sky" from Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Gahoole would be a brilliant song for celebrating learning how to fly as a dragon.
