Dragon Edge
Before the dawn even graced the skies of Berk the next day everything had changed the very second Hiccup, Boden and Una had unlocked the Dragon's Eye and reawaken their powers and like they had said. EVERYTHING HAD CHANGED!
As dawn was slowly beginning all five senses could tell and the world around showed signs that SOMETHING had HAPPENED. SOMETHING BIG AND WONDERFUL HAD HAPPENED.
All life on Berk, Human, dragon, plant, livestock, anything that was alive felt this. It was a strange but important feeling. The most important thing every to happen to Berk ever.
It was like indescribable feeling of unbridled excitement that started in from your toes or whatever was the bottom you had and very slowly crept upward. It was a feeling, but not quite a feeling at the same time, but it penetrated everyone from the inside out. All the way to their hearts and souls.
And looking outside that feeling and world only grew stronger with whatever had happened. Whatever was happening this feeling was coming from every direction at once.
There was no doubt something was different almost magical when all the normal animals were acting in the most peculiar fashion from whatever was going on just looking all around you.
Then you noticed the land, sea, air and the very sky were changing as well. The skies above were filled with colors that belonged to neither to dawn and dusk and would never be seen again or accurately described afterwards.
The very lands own coloring was in shades brighter and more vivid then ever seen before. Once more in colors that had no names to appropriately describe them and they seemed like they're twice as thriving then they'd ever been.
The sea was calm with not a single wave but again a shade of blue no-one could name. However there was a shimmering rainbow sparkling underneath it. And the very air tasted so sweet and fresh as if they're eating the fruits of the gods themselves.
It was like the universe had just been born and life had truly begun.
So when that molten orb of gold and copper sky fire that rain down its eternal burning light of hope on the Berk everyone in the village could help but break out into song and celebrate with a lot of dancing in the streets.
And they didn't just dance and sing, they're were explosion of fire for fireworks, cartwheels, backflips and flowers dropping as everyone was celebrating this magical feeling. That was only increased by the return of Hiccup, Boden and Una's powers which now were like twice as stronger and they seemed to have improved a lot just from touching that Dragon Eye!
"Waking up to great golden light of a shiny new day. Thankful for the moon that guide our way. We have no greater gift for the soul then each breath out bodies can hold! So hear our voices sing today!
We welcome thy magic, we welcome sweet sunrays, and we know love is no secret we just have to look all around us as we welcome each new day!
Life is very simple and clear for when you make the right choices it the truth that you hear. When you listen to your own voice and we act as brothers and sisters and we all believe! That we are all were we meant be. So hear our voices sing today!
We welcome thy magic, we welcome sweet sunrays, and we know love is no secret we just have to look all around us as we welcome each new day!
We welcome thy magic, we welcome sweet sunrays, and we know love is no secret we just have to look all around us!
We welcome thy magic, we welcome sweet sunrays, and we know love is no secret we just have to look all around us as we welcome each new day!
Look all around you!
Love is no secret we just have to look all around as we welcome each new day!" They whole entire island of Berk human and dragon sang it in their own way of what they felt and they all sang it with great euphoria and spent the first day after unlocking the Dragon's Eye basically celebrating life again and being remembering what it felt like to be happy.
Hiccup and his siblings were trying out their reawakened powers and how much stronger and more complex their powers seemed to become and they also learned not only had their powers reawaked so had Skullette and Firefang's so they spent some time together all testing out and seeing what their new stronger powers could do.
The Riders and their siblings spent their first day free of depression actually having fun with their siblings for the first time in three years as they could all feel tomorrow something was gonna happen that they needed to be ready for something big. So they just played had fun getting ready for that.
As for the parents? They all were getting ready to have a huge argument ready for what they knew they need to convince the Berk Council but it was the first Brunch Club in years that was finally happy and fun and the first one to include Stoick and Dotta all who'd be joining this side of the argument for what was coming the next day.
Sure enough on the second day of this magical revival Hiccup, Boden and Una brought forth the very thing that had brought Berk back to life and showed how they'd unlocked it with their dragons help.
They then talked in very fast, animated and chatty voice pleading with the Council why they needed to pursue this. Go beyond their known world and see what was out there! A WHOLE OTHER WORLD! How could they pass this up?! To see the rest of the world?! Discover new things?! Learn new things?! Find out more about themselves?! See what else their powers could do?! And so much more! For them and everyone!
And then came the crushing blow from the men who made up the Council. They argued they should stay where it was safe. They'd made peace with the dragons, defeat their most dangerous enemy Axel, and had the DHA. Things were good, quiet and safe.
Why risk bring new evils and dangers and risk the lives of heirs of their tribe three children by going blindly into the unknown? Why not stay where it safe and peaceful? What was wrong where it was safe and they had peace?
Feeling already defeated Hiccup, Boden and Una were therefore surprised when their father Stoick and mother Valka stepped forward and began speaking.
"Because you can't stay safe and secure all your life and not live at all! How can one live life if you aren't living life at all? Come on haven't we all just wanted to go on a crazy adventure and find what out there once?
Don't you remember what it was like to be young and wanting more out of life then being safe and snug in bed?" Stoick shot back at his Council surprising them very much.
"My husband and children are right. None of us been alive for three years and you can't find out who you are if you stay home and never face the trials and tribulations of life.
You don't find out your destiny sitting home were its safe. Growing up means facing challenges and also about letting go and letting your children stand on their own two feet.
Yes there will be dangers in the own unknown, but our children be in danger since the day they're born as has ever other child on this island. We are Vikings after all.
But the point is they have learned all Berk can offer them. It's time to test themselves and find out who they are meant to be in the real world and it ain't gonna happen here at home."
"You sure you two are feeling, okay? You've spent your lives trying to keep them safe. Now you're willing to let them fly off into the unknown where they could be danger or get killed? What changed?" Gobber wanted to know and speaking for the Council.
"We have that answer for them and all our children. In fact it's the same answer for the chief's children, our children and even their adopted older siblings and even Dotta's daughter and niece and why we have to let them go and do this!" the other moms all gathered and even Dotta was gathered behind the Chief and his wife.
They began to harmonize and then broke out into song to really make the point since singing really brought home the point and made a bigger impact then just saying it.
"All of them been standing at the edge of these waters long as they or any of us can remember. Never really knowing the reason why.
Always wishing they could simply be the perfect son or daughter. But they all simply come back to the water no hard they try.
Every turn they take, every trail they track, every path they make. Every road leads back to the place they know where they cannot go where they long to be.
Do you see the light they see? Where the sky meets the sea? It calls to them! No-one knows how far it goes with the wind under their dragon's wings as they fly over the sea and the rest stays behind thee.
One day they'll know if they go there just telling how far they'll go!
We know everyone on this island seems so happy on this island. Everything seems to fit its design. We know everybody on this island has a role on this island but maybe they can roll with theirs!
We know that our children will be lead with pride, that this journey will make them strong. But they can't be satisfied if they are force to stay here and play along with the rest of you.
Because the voice inside all of them sings a different song and there nothing wrong with any of them.
That light of destiny shining on the sea is blinding! Don't you see? How deep it goes? How it's call out to them? Telling all them to come find me? Letting them know what's beyond that line and it's time to cross that line!
Do you see the light they see? Where the sky meets the sea? It calls to them! No-one knows how far it goes with the wind under their dragon's wings as they fly over the sea and the rest stays behind thee!"
"Well, your musical performance is very catchy and quite a show but still as good as it is we still aren't completely convince this is the right idea. I mean this Dragon Eye is an amazing discover. And we can see all your point of views and hear all you're saying. But how can we be sure you'll be okay?" Gobber wanted to know.
"How about if we find a safe place to set up a base? If we can find a safe location for a base then would you consider letting us continue exploring beyond the borders and letting us chase our dreams?" Una suggested.
"Yeah, that does seem like a fair deal. If we found something close enough that we be not too far from Berk to make short trips back home and still be able to explore would that be a fair compromise to let us keep going?"
"Dad don't you think that's a fair deal? After all you and Mom in your marriage have to compromise all the time. You know make it a fair deal. Since this Council isn't seeing how much we all need this like we need to breathe!" Boden let out in a bit of whine.
"Well it does seem like a fair deal. What do you say? If my children and friends are able to find and establish a base within a distance that isn't too far from Berk would you agree that they and the rest of the kids and their allies, that would only be fair be allowed to go further?"
"If such a place can be found and it's reachable and they can get back to Berk in times of crises with in a safe amount of time then yes. But we give you only two weeks to find it," the Council agreed.
"We won't need too weeks at all. We can find it in only three days. And when we get there it will truly unlock not only our powers along with Hiccup, Boden and Una's powers to their zenith, it will change the course of everyone destiny forever!" called out a cheerful and confident voice.
Everyone looked at the source of the voice and saw the Anquetils sisters had arrived and they looked very sure of themselves.
"What makes you so sure that there is such a place exist and you'll find it three days? And what you said is even possible?" asked Sven.
"Because formerly Sven that moment that Dragon's Eye was unlocked not only were the Haddock kids powers sent into overdrive ours were too. We can feel strong spiritual energy and it's almost like a map of sorts in our mind," Skullette answered him as she flipped her beautiful blond hair.
"Yeah, we see it in our mind's eye so clearly if Hiccup's looking for a compass to this island we need find we know the way. Trust us! If you let us, them and the Dragon Riders leave in the morning we assure we'll lead the way.
We'll set the course to find this brand new island where everyone will roam. Though don't worry, we will keep our home island in our mind so when it's time to come home will know the way.
Though it's time for us to become not Vikings but explorers reading every sign so we can tell a new generation stories that are part of a never-ending chain of stories. Trust me and my sister to lead the way!" Firefang said in a very assuring voice.
So they worked out the last few details but the end deal was they had two weeks to find this 'magical island' and if they failed that be the end of this new adventure before it begun and only the Haddocks, Riders and Anquetils sisters could go for now.
Only if they found this magical island and if they did until the base on it was fully built and secure could their siblings come for 1 week visitations and had only at schedule times. And they had to share the base both with the Soul Riders and Heather and Dagur and make a few other things but the first things first was finding it within a two week time period.
So everyone was excitedly getting ready for the next morning to go set out and find it. The Riders and their siblings were busy preparing as was Dotta helping her daughter and niece.
The Haddocks were busy getting ready in their own way but they did have a very long discussion. They did get some rules they expected. Three important ones were 1. Stay together at all times. 2. Hiccup and Boden were responsible for Una. 3. Visit home as much as possible.
But there was one thing they did find strange their parents did say they didn't fully understand and wouldn't till a long time later. They just told them protect each other as best they could. On the other hand also don't be surprise if someone else was watching over them while they're out there. Just please don't make HER job too hard for her. Since her job on Berk had already been very grueling and they couldn't even began to fathom what watching over the three of them in the unknown was gonna be like for her.
Hiccup, Boden Una didn't have a clue what their parents were speaking about and wouldn't understand it till a tragedy occurred two years later when a family secret was reviled to them.
Though unknown to them they'd be getting some very strong hints that they had a protector of some kind and that happened the next day. It was the next morning as everyone was being seen off and once the last hugs and kisses were given they flew off.
Once they'd finally cleared their known world Hiccup, Boden and Una couldn't repress their urge to sing anymore. They'd been wanting to sing all this time about how they're feeling and that again when things took a very strange turn.
Because at that moment what seemed like a lot strangely falling stars about 38 to be precise all a unique color descended from the sky. Also all the clouds broke apart and then reformed into the shapes of dragons and seemed alive.
The falling stars then stopped falling and began to dance around the Riders and the sisters and seems to have taken on the silhouette of winged women. And then began an amazing, colorful and dazzling musical airshow.
With only a very large golden silhouette around Hiccup and his siblings pulling off daring stunts and acrobatics while singing and this other colorful silhouette and dragon shape clouds all seem to fill the sky with this amazing song. So everyone just sat back and enjoyed the show.
"It seems like we've spent our whole lives hoping, dreaming of things we've never tried. Just tangled in knots just waiting for our time to shine!
What if the doors began to open? What if the knots become untied? What if one day nothing stood in our way and the world was ours? Would it feel this fine?
Because we got the wind in our hair and a dream in our eyes and endless horizon. We've got a smile on our face and we are walking on air! And everything life ought to be is all gonna happen to us out there! And we'll find it we swear with the wing in our hair!
So many roads we have yet to travel and so many friends we haven't met! So many new adventures just around the bend! There's plenty of mysterious too unravel, tons of mistakes not regret. There so much to see, to do and be just a whole life to spend and it doesn't end!
Because we got the wind in our hair and a song in our hearts because the fun only started! We got a skip in our step and haven't a care!
Don't you feel that beautiful breeze blowing through? It's gonna carries us who knows where? We are ready to take any dare! With the wind in our hair! We got a smile on our face and we are walking on air!
And everything life ought to be, well we know it's waiting for us out there! And we'll find we swear with the wind in our hair!"
And when they held that last note everyone swore there was a giant pair of golden wings behind them embracing them.
After the musical airshow they got back to business which lead to a very scary almost deathtrap detour on Melody Island where they discovered a new dragon they named the Deathsong.
While they nearly gotten eaten alive it still was overall very exciting, educational and had caused all of the Haddock's powers increased and yet again become more powerful and have greater control.
Three years ago they barely had ten percent control where they acted at random times or like reflexes. Now they had like at least 35 or 38% control and it was growing stronger with each passing moment and new challenge.
Stronger in strength, control and complexity it was really something. After all they'd all been lifeless and dead for three years and now it was like they'd been jump started.
True to their word Skullette and Firefang did following the spiritual energy and their own powers find the island they said would lead everyone to their destiny. It was perfect for all their needs.
Though as soon as they touched down while they all felt that strange magical feeling again they resume their old childish behavior of fighting over silly things that should matter.
Namely what the name of the island should be or how the base should be and totally forgetting they need to make sure there was some space for the Soul Riders, Heather and Dagur and that there had to space for their siblings.
Hiccup's temporary solution was to leave the Riders to come up with their own ideas for a base just to break up the fighting and get some peace and quiet.
Meanwhile he along with his siblings and the sisters went to explore the island and further testing out their gifts and figuring out their own ideas in a more peaceful way away from the bickering.
They also took some time to have some good old-fashion fun which they hadn't had in a long time and see if there were other things that could start to refill the Book of Dragons and Book of Natural Wonders.
It was becoming extremely strange to Hiccup, Boden and Una that every single time something that might hurt them came up they felt like either someone was touching them or whispering a warning. Was this the mysterious force their parents told them watch over them?
And by nightfall something very big happened that seemed to really hurt them because of the other Riders and their bicker which was to be expected because without them the Riders really were clueless.
Tuffnut was convinced there was a huge dragon and Ruffnut had challenged him to a weird challenged to prove it and all they found so for was a wild chicken that Tuffnut had taken as a pet he simply named "Chicken"
Then they had found the dragon wasn't one but several and Boden exclaimed in wonder that he'd was with his new level of power able to feel a whole new level of complex emotions for each one of them plus hear the leader's thoughts at the same time.
Una got excited as she was seeing past events that had happened on this island with the wildlife and how they needed to fix the problem which the Twins had caused by removing the leader.
Hiccup own powers with memories and feeling the other black dragons call out in distress also surprise him. as it was clearly shocking all three of them how fast their powers were growing at such an alarming rate.
Before long the crises was over and then everything finally started to get settled as everything was finally works out.
They finally decided to call the island Dragon Edge. The new dragon guards were named Night Terrors.
Then very slowly they began building the base where everyone gets to build their own spot with leaving two sections left for the Soul Riders and Heather and Dagur who come out next visit.
As the rest of the details are worked out Hiccup, Boden and Una just grin as they're feeling like this was truly the first day of the rest of their lives.
