After the first six months of the hatchlings' life, Konall finally decided to make his move. He made his way up to Zyrah's house, avoiding stepping on the hatchlings, Ayvna, their daughter, Brurdan, their son, and Tydro, their second son. Ayvna had beautiful turquoise eyes, flecked with green and blue around her pupils. Brurdan had more of his father's green eyes, with gold at the edges of his eyes, near his eyelids. And Tydro had his father's eyes. He was Toothless's spitting image.

"Okay, I'm actually doing this." Konall and Zyrah were just approaching their 18th birthdays, Konall was older than Zyrah by about a month.

Konall was going to ask Halvar for his permission to propose to Zyrah at last. After having taken her virginity anyway, Konall thought it was appropriate.

"Halvar? Sir?" He asked, approaching Halvar at the family table reading through some letters.

"Ah, Konall. What brings you here?" Konall took a seat next to him.

"Sir, I hope you don't mind. But I've been very much in love with your daughter for quite some time… and I think it is now appropriate to propose to her." He waited for Halvar to probably flip out and tell him no, but actually, Halvar smiled and promptly slapped Konall on the back.

"Ah-haha! I was waiting for you t'ask boy!" Halvar exclaimed, scaring Konall for a moment.

"W-wait, really?" Halvar nodded.

"You should hear what Zyrah says about you when you're not over. She's quite infatuated with you." Halvar chuckled, "You have my blessing, Konall. Don't let me down."

"I won't sir, thank you."

"Do you have a ring?" Konall nodded.

"I got it made two weeks ago."

"Good luck to you, I know she'll say yes."

"Zyrah, come on. I wanna take you on a walk." Konall said to her, walking into her room. She looked up at him from adding to Dalur Eldur's Book of Dragons. Their chief had given her permission to manage the info that went into it.

"Okay, sure!" She put it away and followed him on the trail they usually took when taking walks in the forest. It was a particularly sunny day and the light filtered through the leaves, casting pretty sun patterns on the forest floor.

"It's so lovely today." She remarked. Konall squeezed her hand playfully in his, "So… what's been going on with you?" She asked. She hadn't caught on to his plan yet.

"Oh… just, been planning stuff." Zyrah didn't question his actions, she just kept walking.

The pair reached a large rock outcropping and they laid down on their backs, arms crossed behind their heads, enjoying the scenery. After a little while of peace and quiet, Konall decided to ask her.

"Zyrah?"

"Hm?" He rolled over a little to see her better.

"Look, I've basically known you all my life, and we've had our fun and crazy times. Your headstrong spirit has inspired me and I'm willing to take the rest of the journey with you, together." He took out the ring, her blue eyes became round with shock and happiness as she nodded eagerly even though he hadn't asked her.

"Will you-" She didn't let him finish as she pulled him in for a kiss and he slid the ring on her finger.

"I can't wait." She whispered.

"Me neither."
