Hiccup and the others were still holding on as they were climbing up the waterfall towards the Sky Island.

"My money says we live through this," said Ragnar.

"A cloud road that goes all the way up, you might want to reconsider that bet," said Toothless.

They then suddenly made a sharp right turn causing the twins, Fishlegs and Chopper to topple over. Fortunately, the others were able to grab them before they fell off the ship.

"I wonder this is a natural formation of the clouds," said Fishlegs.

"There's nothing natural about this!" Snotlout yelled.

He wasn't long it was like riding a rollercoaster and it was a good thing they hadn't had once yet. Hiccup then saw a bright light just in front of them as they began to climb.

"Look at the exit!" Chopper cried. "They put up a big sign showing us!"

Upon closer examination he was right, there was a massive hole within the clouds and a massive sign on the edge. It said 'All-Fatherland Skypiea' in bold capitals.

"'All-Fatherland?'" Heather frowned. "What's 'All-Fatherland Skypiea'?"

"This is the exited the entrance!" Hiccup yelled.

They then shot right through the clouds and landed harshly on the White Sea. It was pretty much shaken up after that rough landing, and Hiccup saw an island in the distance.

"We're here… Sky Island!" he yelled.

The entire land looked as if it was resting on top of the clouds, they could see vegetation and even a beach. The place more looked like a resort than anything else.

"Wait, in the sign, we pass say Skypiea?" Heather asked.

"Yeah, that's the same name scribbled on the map that the twins found," said Fishlegs.

"I guess that galleon did come here," said Astrid as she looked at the landscape. "The last time they set eyes on this with 200 years ago, I'm amazed that this place has stayed beautiful for so long."

They soon just offshore at the beach and they began to take in the surroundings.

"Well, adventures not going to wait for us," said Hiccup as he jumped off the ship.

"Hey, wait for me!" Snotlout yelled jumping after him.

"Watch out its shallow!" Hiccup warned.

Too late, Snotlout had already dived in headfirst.

"You all right?" Hiccup asked as he helped him up.

"Is it me or is this place made completely of clouds?" Snotlout asked.

"Luckily for you there solid, we don't want a repeat of last," said Hiccup.

"Let's go ashore!" the twins yelled as they jumped in after them.

"Wait for me!" Chopper cried.

"Me too, but first I have to change," said Astrid as she made her way to the cabin.

"Not me!" said Fishlegs as he jumped down.

"Hiccup, we may have a problem dropping anchor here!" Toothless warned. "There's no seedbed at the bottom of this cloud!"

Hiccup nodded. "The clouds around here seem to be solid if we attach the anchor to the beach it should be fine!"

Toothless nodded and dropped anchor and it seemed to just float there. "Well, regardless of other brown leafy or it's an amazing sight. Better than I imagined."

"It's a piece of work to be sure," Ragnar agreed and started taking off his shoes. "But I'll be damned if they're going to have all the fun."

Toothless watched as Ragnar jumped ashore.

"Ow!" Astrid screamed as he rushed out of the cabin wearing some beachwear. The south bird was on top of her head pecking at her. "You're hurting me I said I was sorry!"

Once outside the south bird then took off.

"We forgot about the south bird," Astrid groaned rubbing her head. "We really should have let him go, he'll never survive here."

"I wouldn't sweat it, birds adapt very quickly to their environments and if not there seem to be some people living up here," said Toothless. "Don't worry about it, he'll be fine."

"Yeah, I guess."

"By the way, Hiccup was right about the clouds," said Toothless. "I think this place floats upon the heavier clouds."

"That means Sky Island floats on a sea of cloud cover," said Heather as she emerged from the cabin wearing her beachwear. "I wonder if it's stationary in the sky was it move with the tide."

"That kind of question Hiccup and Fishlegs would love to answer," said Astrid. "Besides this place makes zero a sense and personally I don't care."

Astrid then jumped off the deck and made her way ashore.

She laughed looking up at them. "This is why we came here, guys. Welcome to Sky Island! Come on, don't be a stick in the mud just jump!"

Heather looked up at Toothless. "You coming?"

"I'll be along soon," Toothless assured her.

Heather then turned and looked at the island. "I'll say this for Hiccup, he has a real nose for adventure and I never stopped to think of any of this to be adventurous. Perhaps I should reconsider my stand."

She then jumped off the ship like all the others.


Everyone was beginning to have fun on the new island, as if they were actually on a beach. The twins were climbing on trees, Snotlout appear to be making a cloudcastle and Chopper was just rolling around the beach.

"This is the best island we've ever been to!" said Tuffnut.

"And the best part is there's no crowd!" said Ruffnut.

"For once I agree with you muttonheads," said Snotlout.

Fishlegs was busy looking at these strange flowers. "Strange looking flowers, I've never seen anything like them. I wonder if their balloonish like those sea monsters and pop when I pick one."

Fishlegs then picked a flower and began to sniff it.

Hiccup and Astrid would just simply relaxing on the beach with one another.

"No way those Marine loses can follow us up here so we can finally cut loose," said Astrid as she stretched.

"I will be so certain of that," said Hiccup as he had noticed a small villa on the beach.

Ragnar was examining the fruit on the island, he managed to find what he assumed to be some sort of melon though it was shaped like a pumpkin and it was growing on the trees.

"I wonder what the fruit on this island taste like?" he said.

He tried to peel the skin, but it was as hard as a rock. "Huh, it would seem as if the peel was extremely tough."

Hiccup and Astrid made their way to the bill and sat down on a couple of chairs that appear to be made of cloud.

"I can't believe I'm sitting on a chair made of cloud," said Astrid. "I wonder they have a factory that makes all this stuff?"

This cloud is certainly much different than the one on the beach, it feels like I'm sitting on a sponge," said Hiccup.

Ragnar then approached them still holding the fruit. "The fruit here is different as well, I've been spending a good five minutes trying to get the peel off."

Toothless had finally made his way ashore. "Who would afford one would get wet in clouds." He then saw something furry on the beach. "What's that?"

He bent down to pick it up only to discover that it belonged to the tale of some foxlike creature there were was much smaller and was white.

"Sorry," he said releasing it. "What we have here some kind of fox?"

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing when they heard the sound of a harp.

"Is that music?" said Heather.

Toothless saw someone standing on a nearby cloud. "Look someone is there on that cloud."

"Great another monster," Snotlout muttered.

"Where's the whistle? Where's the whistle?" Chopper panicked. "We can as the sky Knight to save us."

"If you guys would calm down for a moment, you could tell instantly that is no monster," said Ragnar. "I think what we're seeing is an elf."

Everyone looked up and indeed saw the figure was a young woman with blonde hair and her ears were pointed. She then stopped playing her harp and looked at them.

"Hello," she said sweetly.

"She doesn't seem threatening," said Toothless.

"No, she doesn't," said Snotlout with a dreamy look.

She then looked down at the fox. "Sue, come here."

The fox which was named Sue then made her way towards her.

She then approached them. "Did you come down from the Blue Sea world?"

"I suppose," said Hiccup. "We just sailed up a bunch of clouds to get here, speaking of which is this your home?"

"Yes, it sure is," she said smiling. "And I would like to welcome you to Skypiea's Valkyrie Beach." She then noticed the fruit that Ragnar was still holding. "I bet you would like to drink that."

Ragnar handed her the fruit. "The top of a coconush is as hard as steel, it's impossible to crack. So you have to cut through the underside like this."

She demonstrated by pulling out a knife and began cutting the bottom with the greatest of ease, making a small hole in the bottom. She then placed a straw in the hall and then handed over back to Ragnar.

"Here you go," she said.

Ragnar began drinking his eyes lit up. "It's so delicious!"

"If it's that good I've got a try some, given to me!" said Snotlout snatching the coconut from him.

"My name is Arial and this was a one is Sue," she said picking up the small fox. "She's a cloud fox, if you need anything at all please let me be of service."

"Yeah, about that," said Astrid as she stepped forward. "We've got tons of questions, I hate to bother you but we've never any place like this before."

"Sure ask me anything you want to know," Arial smiled.

"Guys look something is coming!" said Toothless.

"Oh, that's my father," Arial smiled.

They saw a middle-aged man with black hair, with a few greys, riding on some sort of contraption.

"Hello, Arial!" he waved.

"Hello father!" she waved back cheerfully.

Fishlegs looked at the contraption he was riding. "Arial what's that he's riding on?"

"Ah, that would be my father's waver," said Arial.

"A sky waver?" Fishlegs blinked.

"Gangway, stopping this thing is a bit of a trick!" he yelled as he shot out of the water and began zigzagging across the beach.

He eventually crashed into a doom causing him to fall off with a mighty crash.

"My goodness, is everyone all right?" he said picking himself up.

"You're the one that crashed," Toothless reminded him.

Fishlegs looked at Hiccup. "Hey, Hiccup… didn't you bring something like that waver from the seabed?"

"Now that you mention it, I think I did," said Hiccup.

"Then that must be the boat we read about in Noland's journal?" said Fishlegs looking at the waver with wonder. "I boat that can sail without wind."

"Did you make some new friends Arial my dear?" he said as he picked up his waver.

"Yes, they only arrived a few minutes ago from the Blue Sea World," Arial nodded.

"Ah, still adjusting," he nodded looking at them. "Must be a great many things that must puzzle you about the White White Sea."

"Putting it mildly," said Snotlout.

"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Polo," he said.

"It's very nice to meet you," said Hiccup.

"Father how was the fishing today?" Arial asked.

"Quite a successful venture," Polo smiled. "I have an idea, you all should come over for dinner. We'll fill your bellies with the taste of the island."

"We're all for that," said Hiccup.

"Sky Island cuisine, you mind if I help you prepare it?" Ragnar asked.

"No," Polo chuckled.

Fishlegs looked at the waver. "Before we go, I have a question. This boat doesn't have any sails to catch the wind and you weren't rowing it either. So how's it propelled through the water?"

"Oh, of course, your people unfamiliar with dials are they?" said Arial.

"What are dials?" Hiccup frowned.

Snotlout then made his way to the waver. "I bet I can figure out how to operate this thing, get back Fishface."

Then before anyone could stop him, he hopped onto the waver and press down on the pedals. The waver then suddenly took off and he found extreme difficulty in controlling it.

"Why won't it stop!" he yelled.

He then struck a small wave causing the waver to shoot up into the air and he fell into the sea again.

"Oh no, I hope he's all right," said Arial in shock.

"It's all my fault, I should have allowed a rookie to use the waver," said Polo.

Hiccup sighed. "Here we go again!"

He then immediately jumped into the White Sea to rescue Snotlout just like before. It only took about a minute to fish him back out and soon the two of them made their way back onto the beach.

"Next time how about you read the instructions before taking off," Hiccup suggested Lane him down on the beach.

"I should never let him take the waver, with its warlike body even a small wave can shake the rudder. Unless you know the White White Sea like the back of your hand, the waver is almost impossible to ride."

"It's only recently that I became good enough to ride it," said Arial.

"Is it that hard?" Chopper asked.

"It usually takes 10 years of training to drive it," said Polo.

"You've got to be joking!" said Chopper.

"Yeah, because Fishlegs seem to be handling it all right," Astrid pointed.

Everyone turned and saw that Fishlegs was on the waver and was riding it like a master.

"That's incredible!" Polo stared. "I can't believe it, this is his first time?"

"He's a very skilled navigator I'm not surprised he was able to manage it," Hiccup shrugged.

"Wow, this requires skill!" Fishlegs yelled. "No wonder you had a hard time, Snotlout!"

"Shut up, Fishlegs," Snotlout grumbled.

"Fishlegs, we were invited to dinner!" Hiccup reminded him.

"You guys gone ahead, if Polo doesn't mind I would like to stay out here and ride!" Fishlegs called.

"It's fine, just be careful!" Polo yelled.

"Riding this freely on the open ocean without worrying about the wind is like a dream," said Fishlegs. "I wonder if we can use these on our ocean back home?"


As they were making their way to Polo and Arial's house, Snotlout's noticed something.

"Whoa, is that some kind of factory?" he asked.

Everyone looked and saw what appeared to be some kind of quarry and, as hard as it seemed to be, they were mining clouds.

"Indeed it is," Polo nodded. "That is our cloud quarry site, it's where our cloud is manufactured and cut to meet all kinds of need."

"I didn't know you could cut a cloud," said Toothless.

"You did take the Milky Road to get the White White Sea?" Polo asked.

"Milky Road?" Toothless frowned. "Is that the name of that mess up currently took up here?"

"Yes, it's a canal constructed by our engineers and mood by the natural clouds we quarry. The two types of natural clouds on our island, your ship travelled on what we call see clouds and the ones that float on their own, that we can stand on and build on our called island clouds."

"They are not the normal clouds we're used are they?" said Toothless.

"No, their condensation nucleus is different from what you usually see. It has something to do with a mineral found on the Blue Sea World called Sea Prism Stone."

"Sea Prism Stone?" Heather blinked. "What effect does that have on the clouds?"

"It's like this, inside the Sea Prism are alien particles called Pyrobloin. During volcanic eruptions these particles gain moisture and descend into the sky, our clouds are formed based on the density of the moisture. In all actuality, there are three types of clouds that we used in our day-to-day the sea and island types are natural, the man-made ones come from island clouds. Now if you follow me please…"

They eventually reached their house.

"You guys have got quite the view from up here," Hiccup noted.

"If you squint you can see Fishlegs riding the waver," said Chopper.


When they got inside Ragnar immediately began to help Polo were preparing the meal, he was excited to discover what recipes they developed. He looked into the freight and found a jar with a little with unusual colouring and tasted it and immediately regretted it.

"What happened to you?" Polo asked.

"Well, I saw this stuff settling in your fridge and I… uh, I never seen anything like it so I tried it and it tastes like death, I feel so dizzy and my tongue is swollen," he said stuck his tongue out. "How does it look?"

"Like you drank some spoiled sauce," said Polo looking slightly embarrassed.

Ragnar then immediately smashed the sauce on the ground. "Then why did you let this stuff sit around. If something is old you throw it out!"

"Sounds like they're having fun in the kitchen," said Tuffnut.

"Yeah, don't he only yells like that when we entered the kitchen," Ruffnut nodded.

"That might have something to do with the fact that you ruined his soufflé a week ago," Snotlout pointed out.

Heather then looked at Arial. "Arial, I was wondering could you explain more about these dials to us that you mentioned earlier."

"Sure, but it's complex I don't exactly know where to start," she said.

She then made her way to a desk and then came back and gave Hiccup a seashell.

"This doesn't look like a dial, it looks like a normal seashell?" he frowned.

"Yes, at first glance, but why don't you put into your mouth and talk?"

"Like this?" Hiccup asked as he brought the dial to his mouth. "My name is Hiccup Haddock."

"Now just place down on the apex of the shell," Ariel instructed.

"What an apex?" Snotlout frowned.

"Oh, it simply means vertex or the highest point," said Tuffnut.

"She's just basically saying to press down on the very top of the seashell, you know the spiral," said Ruffnut.

Snotlout just stared at them blankly as Hiccup pressed down upon the apex of the shell.

"I am Hiccup Haddock," said the seashell with Hiccup's voice.

Everyone immediately stared at the seashell.

"The seashell just talked!" Ruffnut stared.

"And it said that it was Hiccup," said Tuffnut.

"Now just press down on the apex of the shell," said Arial's voice from the shell.

"Now that's a neat trick," said Toothless.

"So that thing can record voices and play it back?" Astrid stared.

"So that seashell was one of the dials?" Heather assumed.

"Yes, we call this one a tone dial it a shelf in the White White Sea that records and plays whatever hears," Ariel explained.

"I thought there wasn't bottom to your sea? Where do these things live if you don't have a seafloor?" Toothless frowned.

"They live in the showers in the cloud reefs," Ariel explained.

"I still don't see how that little thing can move your father's sky waver," said Heather.

"Well, that's because this is the kind that powers the waver," Arial explained as she showed them yet another dial. "It's smaller but it does demonstrate the same process, here let me show you."

She then made her way onto the balcony and point of the shell at the wind charm over the door frame. She then pressed down on the apex of the shell and then a small gust of wind shot out from it and struck the charm.

"So this one blows wind out of its backside?" said Snotlout.

"This is called a breath dial, it allows you the ability to store the wind and expel it whenever you desire," Arial explained. "The wind capacity varies depending upon the size of the shell, if you attach the right size to the stern of the ship you can move along swiftly."

"I've never heard of anything like that," said Heather.

"I get it now," said Hiccup as looked outside towards Fishlegs. "The waver moved by blowing a wave of wind through the water."

"Dials don't just power wavers, there's also the skating kind, the board kind," said Arial. "But I don't go for those, the wave is just as crazy as I get."

Hiccup rubbed his chin. "I wonder if we can fix the one that we have."

"How did you ever find a waver in your world?" Ariel asked curiously.

"Truth is we don't even know if it is a waver," said Hiccup honestly. "We founded in a wrecked ship that sailed these waters 200 years ago, I'm not even certain if we can fix it."

"It may be possible," said Arial. "Dials are made from the remains of dead shellfish, they can last indefinitely so long as the show itself isn't broken. You might get lucky."

"It's worth looking into, I think Fishlegs would love it if we had one of our own," said Hiccup.

"I would venture to guess that there are many types of dials," said Heather and then looked at the lamp on the table. "Is this one here?"

"Yes, that's a lamp dial," said Arial and demonstrated it by switching it on.

"Neat, it lit up from inside!" said Chopper.

"Right, there are flame dials that store he's on fire, flavour dials that store various tastes and aromas and vision dials that store everything that the user sees which you can watch again and again."

"I want to live in the clouds for the last of my life," said Chopper.

"To be honest we really couldn't sustain life in the cloud without these dials. Our culture has evolved with dials, as opposing the same way they have evolved with the White White Sea."

"Ladies and gentlemen dinner is served," said Ragnar as he placed all the cook food on the table. "We have for you sky lobster with special sauce on the side of island fruits that I can't pronounce."

"Let's dig in," said Hiccup.

Everyone immediately began chowing down on the food was delicious, though there wasn't any surprise considering that Ragnar had served it.

Ragnar noted that Fishlegs was still missing. "You guys seen Fishlegs?"

"He's still riding the waver," said Hiccup.

Ragnar looked over the balcony but wasn't able to see him. "I don't see him."

"He probably went out too far," Astrid assumed.

Arial looked at her father with a troubled look. "I'm worried, do you think he's okay?"

"I have my concerns, but I can't say one way or the other," said Polo.

Hiccup looked up. "What are you talking about?"

Arial looked at him. "In the clouds is a place called the Upper Yard that no one is ever allowed to set foot on, it's not too far away. It would only be a short trip by waver from here, I'm afraid your friend Fishlegs might have assured they're out of curiosity."

"What's so bad that you could never go over to this island?" Snotlout asked. "Is it full of monsters?"

"It's sacred ground."

"Sacred ground?" Heather frowned.

Arial nodded. "But it's so much more than that, it's the island where the All-Father lives."


Fishlegs meanwhile was still riding the waver and was enjoying himself. He was enjoying himself so much that he failed to notice that he was sailing away from Valkyrie Beach, but then he saw something strange.

As hard it was to believe it was an actual island, not the cloud Ireland's that are native to this land but land from the blue sea. Also, the trees were the biggest he had ever seen, they had to be 10 times bigger than that of a normal forest.

"Their huge," he said. "What is this?"
