Thanks for reading you guys!
The Viking ship sailed through the mist towards the island. The sails were burnt and smelled of smoke.
"Humans!" Athena gasped, looking curiously at the strange beings.
"We must be near Berkoshta." Felix said.
"I think they're sailing back to their island. We could follow them." Nakeya suggested.
Everyone agreed, and they set out when they were a safe distance from the ship, following slowly. Soon, they came into view of the island. It was a large island with a tall mountain and a village on the southern coast line. Many other humans were gathering at the docks to greet the arriving ones.
"What is this place?" Athena said, staring down at her new surroundings.
"It's Berkoshta. The humans call it Berk. A lot of other dragons live here, as well as the humans, called the Hooligans, I think." Talon explained.
"Except Night Furies." Zack said. "You guys don't belong here." He said pointedly at the three Night Furies flying by him.
"Chill Zack." Nakeya said, swatting her tail by his face. The purple Nadder flew over to Athena. "He's just grumpy because his uncle got killed by humans here a few years ago." She explained blankly.
Athena just nodded and looked over at Zack's scowling face. His attitude seemed to be getting worse every day.
"Let's land over hear." Felix suggested, flying towards the forest behind the biggest house at the top of the hill. They landed and took a moment to rest. After all, they had just flown over an ocean.
A door opened at the back of a building, and 6 young human children rushed out onto the grass. There was a boy with black hair swinging a small club, trying to impress a blonde girl holding a toy axe. Another blonde girl and a blonde boy, who looked like twins, tackled each other to the ground. A larger with blonde hair came out holding a toy sword. Lastly, a boy with reddish brown, who was smaller than the other kids, stumbled out of the door, holding a book. The dragons watched the children play. They looked around 6 or 7, and had no idea that there were 7 dragons less than 100 metres away from them. After the kids were called away by their parents, Toothless was the first to quietly speak.
"Can I stay on the island?" Everyone looked at him in disbelief.
"You want to stay on the island!? You're, like, 10!" Nakeya said a bit too loudly.
Felix spoke up. "I agree with Nakeya. You're too young to be on your own on an island this dangerous."
Zaltana looked down at the smaller dragon. "Fate will guide where your wings take you." The light green dragon advised in her wise voice.
The dragons moved away from the village and into the forest. They made camp and Zaltana broke out the rocks again. As it got dark, Talon and Athena went out to find fish. When they returned, a fire had been started for warmth, and the 7 dragons ate.
Later that night, everyone was listening to the sounds and lights that came from the village as it was raided by the local dragons. Dragons were yelling orders and information to each other, and sometimes calling for help. Occasionally you would hear the war cries if the Vikings, and sometimes a dragon cry out in pain. Lights from explosions and fires lit up the sky around the village with an orange glow.
"Should we help them?" Nakeya asked.
"No, we shouldn't risk our lives a leader we don't serve." Felix answered. "We have to focus on deciding where we are coin to go next." Talon opened his mouth to speak. "If you say what I think you're going to say, I'll break your tail!" He snapped immediately. Talon shut his mouth quickly and turned back to watching the sky.
Athena sighed and looked around. Felix, Nakeya, and Talon were watching the sky. Toothless was watching Zaltana organize the small rocks, and Zack was muttering to himself a few metres away from the group. She scanned the forest, looking for any signs of danger. Something caught her eye, and she took a closer look.
"Uh, guys. Humans." She said. Everyone looked up to see a large man with a missing arm and leg leading a small boy, the smallest one they had seen earlier, through the forest. The dragons all say quietly and listened to what the humans were saying.
"But I want to stay and help Gobber." The boy said to the man.
"No, it's too dangerous for you. You stay out here and guard this house." Gobber said, pointing to the small shed that smelled like herbs.
The boy walked over to the door of the shed and opened it. "I'm going to be the best dragon slayer ever one day." He said confidently.
"I'm sure you will be." Gobber smile at the small boy. "Now you, stay, put, there." He pointed to the shed. Then turned and walked back towards the village. The boy went into the shed and closed the door behind him.
The dragons were silent for a bit, and then a crash was heard from the inside of the shed, meaning that the boy had obviously broken something. Zaltana turned to Toothless.
"You find this queen dragon, and act like you are in her control, you must. Understand youngling?" The young dragon nodded.
Everyone said goodbye to the youngest embed of the group, and watches as he flew off in the direction that the dragons with food were flying.
"I'm going after him." Nakeya said.
"Under the force of the queen, you will end up." Zaltana warned.
"It doesn't matter. He's too young to be on his own. The least I can do is make sure he stays alive." Nakeya argued, already getting ready to take off.
"Nakeya! Stay where." Felix ordered. But it was too late. Nakeya had already taken off in the direction of the raid.
Talon sighed. "There's no way of stopping her now. She's too stubborn."
"She's a strong fighter. I'm sure she'll be fine." Athena said, trying to stay optimistic. And that was the last that they ever saw of Toothless and Nakeya.
