The Lone Dragon
Chapter 13
Vokun knew he would have to figure out what happened all those years ago that allowed Berk and dragons to become friendly. And he decided to do it now, as his powers allowed him to do just that. Going through a portal that he created. He seen it all. The fighting, the friendship, the bonding, he's took it all in his brain. He left as soon as he came in, satisfied with the data he gathered.
"Hm...I should probably go and visit those dragon riders. They may be getting a little worried." Vokun walked away and entered his tthrone room, where Aurora is.
"Would you like to visit Berk with me?"
"Yes, I would love to," Aurora answered, smiling. They took and headed to Berk. Flying over the village, they can see all the people doing their daily business. Though he noticed one Viking who looked down in the dumps. He didn't bother with that and flew to the academy. One they landed, they walked in. They decided to hide in the shadows as they noticed the riders were doing something, but he didn't know what it was. They were split into two teams; Astrid, Fishlegs, Lyria, Blaze, and Vivi were on one team while Snotlout, the twins, and Elusk, with Cosmo, on the other. Bella is with Hiccup, as she probably doesn't know anything about dragons.
"Every Dragon has its own unique trait that give it its special place in the world. Which dragon makes the best welding torch," Hiccup questions the riders. They were apparently doing some sort of quiz game.
"Oh! Deadly Nadder," Astrid replies.
"It's magnesium flame burns with the heat of the sun," Fishlegs adds.
"Their fire isn't that hot Fishlegs. If I would guess, the sun's tempature would be so hot that my thermometer couldn't handle it," Blaze said.
"Correct! Point to Team Astrid. Score is now 100 to 10," Hiccup cheers.
"And you started with ten," Astrid said to the other team. The team looks at her in disgust.
"Oh, yeah? Well, the game's not over. Wait, what team am I on," Tuffnut asked.
"Your on our team," Elusk replied, Cosmo nodding with him.
"Next question. What is the shot limit of the Hideous Zippleback? Team Snotlout."
"I don't think they can count that high," Astrid joked.
"Yeah," Vivi said, sticking her tounge out at the opposing team.
"Oh really? Let's find out! Barf! Belch!" The dragon in question fired off six fireballs at the opposing team. They barely managed to duck in time.
"Looks like it's about three," Tuffnut said, holding up two fingers.
"Told you we could count that high," Ruffnut yelled.
"It's six. You were half-right. Five points," Hiccup said.
"Yes! We're up to thirty," Ruffnut cheered, high-fiving her teammates.
Astrid looks at team Snotlout with a look of competition,"alright, it's our turn. What happens when you shoot fire at the owner of a Deadly Nadder?" She whistles to Stormfly, who shoots her tail spikes at the other team, pinning them to the wall, unharmed.
"No fair! She didn't give us time to answer," Tuffnut said. Snotlout jumps down from the wall.
"I've got a question. What happens when I sit Hookang on you?" Hiccup, Blaze, and Lyria could see that this situation is going a bit too far.
"Erm...how about we uh... take a break," Lyria said.
"Okay guys, that's enough training. So...we did some really good work here today," Hiccup said, trying to calm down the situation. However, Snotlout is still ready for a fight.
"Prepare to face the Monstrous Nightmare!" Snotlout pats his jaw, causing Hookfang to rear up and set himself in fire, burning Snotlout's butt.
"AH! THAT'S THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK," Snotlout yells as he jumps into a nearby water tub, putting out the flame," ahhhhh...sweet relief."
Hiccup was confused by this," Hookfang never flames up when your riding him, is he okay?"
"Maybe he just realized who his rider is," Astrid said sarcastically.
"He might be sick, I probably should check on him later," Lyria said in worry.
"There's room in here for three," Snotlout flirted. Everyone just looked st Snotlout in disgust. Astrid grabbed his helmet and shoved him back underwater. He gasped when he resurfaced.
"It it were me, I would launch him into the ocean with the tub," Vokun said, waking out of the shadows with Aurora.
"So how did I do," Hookfang croons quietly.
"You did well. My teachings seem to be working." Everyone looked at the two dragons, wondering what they're taking about.
"Hey Vokun, how are you and Aurora doing," Azalea crooned.
"Were doing swell, just swell!"
"When are you going to make babies yet," Ruffnut asked. Everyone, except Vokun, looked at her in confusion.
"Meh, were working on it. Right now seems to not be a good time to mate yet."
"Wow, I cant wait to see your children when they're born," Fishlegs said. Cosmo crawled away from Elusk, who was still hanging from the wall, and climbed up onto the tub, scaring Snotlout.
"This is what you get for being a douche," Cosmo chirped.
"You should've seen what happened earlier, me and Belch launched a few fireballs at Lyria, Blaze, Astrid, and Fishlegs," Barf roared.
"But you almost hit a bloody child," Belch roared back at him. Barf shrunk down in grief.
"So what are you doing here Vokun," Hiccup asks.
"I'm here because I just wanted to visit, that's all."
"Just to visit? Aww...I wanted to see you destroy something," Ruffnut groaned.
"Just because he's a dragon doesn't mean he wants to destroy stuff," Lyria scolded. Vokun looked at a target before his eyes started glowing red. Suddenly, a beam of light escaped from his eyes and he used it to slice the target in half. Everyone looked at him in shock, except the twins, who were cheering.
"What? Comes with my new make-over."
As the day turns dark, Vokun continues his walk through the streets, his crystal illuminating through the shadows. Aurora was already back at his kingdom, but he decided to stay a little longer. He was about to walk into the main plaza, but stops when he saw Hiccup standing in front of him.
"Hey, is there a problem?"
"Bella told me you own a kingdom now. Is that right," Hiccup asked, his arms crossing over his chest. Vokun's eyes widen in shock. Bella told him about this!? Soon he'll tell the others, and the whole village might be on his tail.
"What did she tell you!?"
"Everything," Hiccup said.
"And let me guess, you told your father, and he told the entire village?"
"That's correct," Hiccup replied. Vokun couldn't say anything. Bella told Hiccup his secret, and now everyone knows of Crystonia. Vokun didnt say anything, he just stood there.
"*sigh* Yes, I own a kingdom. But just because I own one doesn't mean I'm going to conquer this village. Do you understand?"
"Oh I do understand, but my father wants to speak with you tomorrow," Hiccup said. Vokun nods as Hiccup walks back into his humble adobe. Vokun sighs in annoyance as he scratches the air once, forming a portal.
"And just as I was getting it finished!"
The next day, Vokun kept his promise. He entered the Great Hall, where the entire village was waiting for him. The dragon riders were sitting near the front. Hiccup's dad, chief of the village, Stoick, was already there, a stern look on his face.
"Looks like our guest has arrived," he said. Vokun sat down in front of a large negotiation table, with Stoick and his trusted pal Gobber on the other side.
"Now, Vokun, you've said that you built your own kingdom from scratch. Is this true," Stoick asks.
"Yes. I built the foundation only. I was forced to grave rob places around the world and revive the dead so I can get the rest up and running." Everyone gasped in shock at what Vokun said.
"So that's where he got all of those people," Blaze said to himself.
"And let me tell all of you. Just because I founded my own kingdom does not mean that I'm going to war with you." Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"Well that's good. So what is this place like," Stoick asked.
"Hm...well I don't feel like explainig, so why don't I just take us there!" Vokun slashed the air, making a very large portal. He walks in, but not before gesturing everyone to come through. Stoick went in, and was instantly amazed by the sight. Everything was made of cleanly and professionally cut slabs of crystal. The defenses were fuming with defensive energy, and houses and farms, the houses themselves made of crystal, cover the large island.
"By Thor's beard, you did this that fast," Gobber said as he exited the portal. Vokun smirked as the riders came in.
"Woah! How much do you think this place costs," Tuffnut said in amazement.
"I think I need some more fingers to count that high," Ruffnut joked. Shock and amazement was rampant throughout the villagers.
"Yep, welcome to Crystonia!" He gives the villagers a tour of his kingdom, from the Arabian district all the way to the German district. Everyone was amazed by each one. They returned back to Berk, where everyone left except the riders, Vokun, Gobber, and Stoick.
"So you packed basically every single culture in the world into one kingdom. I'm interested. All your people seem friendly," Stoick said with a smile.
"Thanks, but for now, I should-"
"Are you up for negotiations," Stoick asks. Vokun never actually thought about that. If he's the leader of a kingdom, than there should be at least some diplomacy.
"Yeah? Why do you ask?"
"How would you like to form an alliance with Berk?" Vokun looked a little surprised after hearing that. But an ally is a good thing in this world. Vokun agreed, causing the riders to smile.
"I hope our two tribes will have a mighty relationship that nothing can beat," Stoick said.
"Yeah, I'm probably going to be here for most of your life, so expect me to talk to you a lot." Hiccup looked at his father and Vokun as they discussed trade deals and all that kind of stuff. He was happy that they have an ally on their side. But then he looked at Gobber. Ever since the war on dragons ended, there was no use for weapons. But then he realized that Crystonia has an actual army. That gave a Hiccup an idea.
"Hey Gobber, I need to talk to you in private," Hiccup said. After a few hours, Vokun was about to leave after a long talk about trade deals. That was until Hiccup got his attenton.
"What is it?"
"My friend Gobber here wants to live in Crystonia." The Riders, including Stoick, looked at Hiccup in shock.
"But...this is your home! I thought you loved being here," Stoick argued.
"But that's where Vokun can come in. He can create a permanent portal between Gobber's smith and a new place where he can make weapons for Crystonia's army, and he can possibly be an ambassador," Hiccup explained. Vokun and Stoick look at each other and then back at Gobber.
"Are you sure of this," the two asked at the same time.
"Nae worries Stoick. th' loon knows whit he's daein'," Gobber said. Stoick smiles while Vokun nodded a little.
"Well, I should probably get back to work."
The alliance between Crystonia and Berk will change Berk's future, and hopefully for the better!
It is done! Hope you enjoyed this chapter. So yeah, Im using a Scottish Translator for Gobber because he sounds Scottish, hope you understand.
