Berkians were landing one by one on the grass of this huge sky island.

Some rushing behind the trees to do their business while others were laying on the ground and enjoying the earth again after hours in the air.

Meg put her feet on the tall grass and inhaled deeply. She stretched her sore back and cracked her neck. Staying in the same position for hours is not really her thing. She watched as everyone was climbing down their dragons, kids running everywhere and some older one laying on the soft grass.

She sighed and walked around, Luna following behind closely. She found Hiccup scanning the place and she could tell he was thinking hard. Ana came by his face and started to talk with him and Meg immediately saw Hiccup's face relaxing. She could only smile at the sight.

Meg also caught Tuff and Ruff arguing about the place of their own hut. She distinguished SnotLout frustrated pout while he passed by her, looking up to see a very cute moment between an amused Hazel and a smiling Eret.

Her eyes fall on her blond best friend, who was putting books out of a box. With a certain guy next to her. Meg's smile disappeared in a blink.

Jon was talking with her and Astrid seemed pretty happy. She was even laughing. Meg couldn't help spying on them, mostly because she was worried for her friend and wanted to find out Jon's attention toward her. Maybe he was a loyal brother but she still didn't trust him.

Astrid nodded at him and she left. Jon watched her leave with a dumb smile on his face. A smile Meg never thought a guy like him could have.

He turned around and noticed Meg's intense glare on him. He raised an eyebrow and Meg just pointed her two eyes with two fingers and then pointed them to him, as a warning she was watching him. Jon didn't budge, just gave her a thumbs up and walked away.

Meg groaned, making Luna cooed. The auburn haired girl walked furiously to Ruby and sat on a box next to her. Ruby blinked and just looked at her upset friend.

-"What's got into you?", Ruby asked with a chuckle.

-"Nothing! It's just- I don't get why Astrid seems to like that dude. He supposed to be a criminal!", Meg explained, throwing her arms in the air.

-"Well, he doesn't seem that threatening right now.", Ruby said, observing the Halderson brother being teased by his younger sibling.

-"Argh! I don't know- it's just..", Meg groaned.

-"What?"

-"It's just that... I don't want Astrid or Hiccup or even Hazel to be hurt, you know. I mean that guy worked for Grimmel. He killed people for him. Even if I know he loves his sister and he proved that he won't hurt her I-... I can't help being-"

-"Scared?"

-"-worried. But scared works too.", Meg shrugged.

-"Look Meg. I know you can't help thinking about Ace just by looking at Jon. But hey, you are the one that proved us a lot of times that we shouldn't judge people just by a first impression. Maybe try to talk to him, ask him all the questions that you want an answer for. And if he doesn't want to collaborate, just ask Luna to let him hang on a tree.", Ruby grinned.

Meg chuckled at her comment.

-"Yeah. That could work.", she laughed, "I guess we should talk. But not now. I don't think I'm ready to talk about Ace yet it's-", Meg's voice broke.

-"I know.", Ruby put her hand on her shoulder in compassion.

Meg thanked her with a smile.

They heard Hiccup's voice raising suddenly. The girls walked closer and listened to Hiccup.

-"I guess it could work as a base. Alright, we can stay-"

-"Yaaaay!", Berkians cheered.

-"Until Toothless and I find the Hidden World.", Hiccup finished.

Berkians groaned and walked away. Meg scoffed and pointed at Ruby that she was going to talk with her brother and her mom.

-"If you're planning to continue west, I should head back to make sure we weren't followed-", Valka started.

-"Great idea! I'll come with you, for protection.", SnotLout appeared out of no where.

-"No! You're far too important here.", Valka tried.

-"Yeeeah.", SnotLout thought and nodded, going away.

-"Okay that was weird.", Meg said.

-"Don't mention it.", Hiccup added with a disgusted face.

Valka chuckled and headed to CloudJumper.

-"You should go with her, you two work better together. And SnotLout still has a point. It's just for protection.", Hiccup said to Meg.

Meg agreed and ran to catch up with Valka.

-"I'll go with you.", she said.

-"Meg, I'll be fine on my own.", Valka smiled.

-"I know but just in case.", Meg insisted.

Valka shook her head and came to take her daughter's hands in hers.

-"Sweetie. The only person you need to protect, is your brother. He needs you. And I'll feel better if you two stay safe here.", Valka said softly.

-"But mom-"

-"Don't worry. I'm not going to let her go alone."

Meg and Valka jumped and turned around to see a majestic and feathery dark blue dragon landing behind them, a blond girl with a ponytail and wearing a long blue cape riding it.

-"Zarina?! What the heck are you doing here?! I mean- how?!", Meg exclaimed surprised.

-"Welp, I wanted to report about island being weirdly burned and trappers catching dragons and I ended up falling on an armada. So Hush tracked Valka smell and here we find you.", Zarina jumped on the grass, taking her hood off.

-"Grimmel is definitely after us. And he might get us if we are not prepared.", Valka frowned.

-"Yes. I don't know why he's after you but somehow his armada seemed to be huge as I couldn't see the end of the boats costed around Berk. I won't be surprised if it gets bigger but in anyway I'm going to let him hurt my dragon.", Zarina affirmed.

Valka nodded at her adoptive daughter.

-"Mom wait.", Meg took her mom's wrist before she climbs on the Stormcutter, "Promise me you'll be careful.", Meg asked, clear worry in her eyes.

Valka smiled fondly at her daughter and put a hand on her cheek.

-"I promise you.", Valka said.

She put her helmet on and flew high with CloudJumper.

Meg watched her getting higher. It was the first time her mom went on a mission without her and she was scared of losing the parent that always had been here since her birth and mostly the only parent that she had left now.

-"Don't worry Meg."

Meg blinked and looked at Zarina on Hush.

-"I won't let anything happen to her. You have my word.", Zarina affirmed.

Meg sighed and smiled.

-"Thank you."

Zarina winked and took off.

Meg just watched her and pray Odin to have them both back soon.
