(A/N) There is a time jump in this one. The teens are now 16-17 years old. They have found the dragon's nest by now.

Tyler and Junior had eventually learned how to teach their Hideous Zippleback 'Stink and Bomb' like Sapphire and Hiccup could train Lucifer and Toothless. Windshere was now an adolescent and relied on Heather more than Hiccup at this time in her life do to Heather being a female like herself.

The dragon riders of Dragon's Edge were now 16-17 years old. Hiccup had learned to navigate amazingly well blindly, his prosthetic never slowing him down by this point. He had learned to talk to most species of dragons fluently, and had learned not to be afraid of showing those around him his talents.

Heather and Hiccup had blossomed into a romance between them. They went on mini-dates, though were still shy about admitting the fact that they were a professional couple. Hiccup and Sapphire were now as close of siblings as they could be, and even shared the same hut. Heather had built her own hut near the swamps on the edge, and the twins Tyler and Junior built a beach hut just near the ocean, along with a mini-stable for their dragon. Lucifer and Toothless slept with their owners, and Windshere had a habit of flying off at night.

"I can't believe we've come so far bro. Like common!" Sapphire gestured around to forest and trees, before remembering her brother couldn't see it. She took his hand and led him down a steep hill. Hiccup had learned how to navigate this area before, but was fine with letting his sister lead him.

"We have dragon stables. Our ancestors would find us delusional if they knew. We have our own island! We're practically adults now, and ride dragons!" Lucifer chuckled in the background and Hiccup smiled warmly. He held tightly to his sister's arm when they came to a less familiar area as the teen did not have his walking stick.

"It's pretty amazing. My father would've never seen it coming. He must think I'm dead by now." A sigh escaped Hiccup's lips. Sapphire looked at him sadly. She knew he felt worse about leaving his home than any of them did. Heather's village had been destroyed, Sapphire herself was proud that she left for the good of the dragons, and Tyler and Junior had been cast out long ago.

"If he does then so be it Hiccup. He doesn't know how strong you two are together." Sapphire pet Toothless' head who had come next to them having sensed his rider's stress. "That's on Stoick. You've got us now." She wrapped an arm around her brother, having become much more comfortable with people over the years compared to when they'd first met.

"Thanks Sapphire. Means allot." Hiccup stepped away from his sister so he could hold onto her forearm for balance as they walked through an unfamiliar area. Suddenly, there was the call of a dragon.

"Mom!" A baby Nadder screeched somewhere nearby. "We're hungry!" Sapphire heard no more than a few roars and thought nothing of it, but Hiccup could understand the distress of the voices. He stepped forward, pulling his sister with him.

"Help us!" Another Nadder's voice screeched. There were about three of them it sounded like. The sounds became louder. "I don't feel good!" A smaller, more high pitched voice yelled. One could tell it was smaller than the others just by its tone.

Sapphire could now understand the hatchlings were distressed. She followed her brother until they came into a clearing. What she saw broke her heart, and a part of her was happy her brother couldn't see it.

Three baby Nadders lay curled up to one another in a nest. There skin was graying, and it was obvious they were freezing. Baby dragons found it harder to maintain their body heat. Without a mother they were doomed.

The two larger babies were covered in blood stains. The smallest one, a runt, had a yellow-green tinge to its scales and was lying next to a puddle of bloody vomit. It was sick and injured, unable to manage itself like the other two who were trying to keep it warm. The two larger ones were girls, the smallest a boy.

The scent of blood filled Hiccup's sensitive nose. His stomach curled in on itself and he held onto his sister's arm for support. "A-Are they-" "They're alive Hiccup, all three of them. Barely..."

Hiccup nodded his head and crawled on his knees until he reached the edge of the nest. He reached in and touched one of the smooth heads of the smallest Nadders. The baby squealed and the other two bit him with their gummy mouths. The baby continued to cry, but stopped the second Hiccup held him to his own chest, petting him soothingly.

"Hiccup..." Sapphire started as she kneeled next to her brother. Hiccup didn't face her, but cocked his head to the side as if to catch her words. Sapphire looked long and hard at the injured runt. She waved her hand in front of its face, then gazed at its gray, blood shot eyes.

"Brother...I think he's blind." Hiccup's eyes widened despite not making any difference to his vision. He suddenly felt the urge to protect these babies, one that was much stronger than it once was if that was possible. He handed the runt to Sapphire, before scooping the two other wounded girls into his arms.

"We're helping them. Take them to my hut, I'll get Heather and the twins. Heather knows a lot about medicine." Sapphire agreed with her brother and allowed the stronger girl to latch onto Lucifer so she could carry the two weaker babies in her arms.


Soon after the babies were taken care of, Hiccup lay out a map. Sapphire would write for him when he told her what he wanted noted. He gestured to placed on the map with ease, Sapphire having made bumps along the paper tracing different islands with a thin piece of wood that only Hiccup could feel. The paper was worn and easy to penetrate.

"This is getting out of hand. We need to stop these hunters and the war." Hiccup started, going on about the different islands that had an 'X' over them, meaning they were dragon habitats the hunters had built basis in. Then there were free islands loaded with islands. These were circled. Finally, there was an island that Sapphire had detailed greatly with numerous dots at the corner of the page. At first she had thought of just writing symbols in the paper, but then Hiccup had told her he'd never learned how to read thanks to being blind for so long.

"We'll work on Viggo's strong holds afterwards, but first..." Hiccup took a breath and faced the teens around him. They'd been searching and searching for a solution to the war, and now had one. It was dangerous, it was risky, and overall it was crazy. With that said, it was the easiest and fastest way to go.

"We're heading to dragon island." Dragon island...was the nest of the queen of dragons.
