Chapter 40: Eye of the Beholder
This is Berk.
A peaceful village that has both Vikings and dragons living together in total harmony. It's been three years of peace after the war with the Insanities ended, Edgar and some Insanity soldiers, along with some still rogue Outcast soldiers, are all held in prison at Outcast Island for their crimes and injustices. Since Edgar was now a prison at Outcast Island, the Insanities no longer needed him as their chief and their new chief was Boren. Boren was Edgar's nephew, he taken the role as the new chief at age of twenty-three after Edgar's imprisonment and made a peace treaty with the Hooligan Tribe, the Berserkers, and even the Outcast (after Alvin made amends with Stoick) and that was the longest peace that they ever had. All thanks to the Dragon Riders.
Speaking of which.
The Riders have grown since the past three years. Hiccup was no longer scrawny, well he still is, but he's working out. Thanks to him, Toothless and the rest of the Dragon Riders, Berk has changed a lot lately. They're building a big Dragon Stable and a feeding station of all you can eat fish. Now the Dragons Riders moved on after the battle with the Insanities and Outcast ended.
Hiccup and Toothless were flying through Berk, who were greeted by the villagers, and check on the Riders and X who moved on with their lives. They went to Gobber's workshop and saw Snotlout there.
Snotlout works at the armoury now. Gobber gave him the title of "official weapons tester" or in Scourge's case the 'test subject'. He helps Gobber to see if the new weapons and defenses are effective. The first thing he tested was a catapult, he flies over to Hiccup and Toothless (who were flying by) and yelled: "It works!"
He was going to land on the soft pillows, but Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston came, pushing a wagon of sharp and deadly weapons at Snotlout's soft landing. The twins have dedicated their lives to Loki, the 'God of Pranks', and are infamous for pulling impressive pranks throughout the village. Oh, how 'lucky' the Berkians are to have them. Luckily for Snotlout, Hookfang saved him in the last minutes while Snotlout yelled to the Thorston Twins angrily.
"There will be repercussions for this! Repercussions!"
The Thorston Twins didn't care as they cheered happily with laughter. Fishlegs was now a somewhat 'Dragon Historian' in Berk, showing and teaching children of Berk the history of the dragons. Hiccup and Toothless flied towards the docks to see Mira landing her boat with Mulch and Bucket after they sailed off to catch some fishes. Mira has become a great fisherman or fisherwoman as she helps Bucket and Mulch catch many fishes and even lobsters in some occasions. Her brothers, Joe and Jon, are now in their early teens and they too moved on. Jon became Gothi's apprentice as he learns of healing and remedies. Joe is training to be a warrior to defend Berk from invaders. X has grown taller and muscular as he joins the Berk Guard with Astrid. All in all, everyone was happy…well, not everyone.
Hiccup wanted to explore new places and find new dragons, but there were no more places to explore since he and his friends explored every part of the Archipelago. Though they thought they found a new species when they saw a flying pass them and gave chase, but it turns out to be the Thorston Twins, who were just pranking him. So, Hiccup had no choice but to accept the fact that his and his friends' adventure was over…
Or so he thought.
On the next day, Mira was at the ocean with Mulch and Bucket. They were catching some fishes that were farther from Berk. Mira could feel her aunts were close by. You see, as Mira grows, so did her powers, her senses increases, and she learns to control the water. This happened when she was giving the young ones a bath, her hands were manipulating the water as she created bubbles, big and small, the big bubbles got some hatchlings in them, who were squealing in delight. But they have to get out of the bubble before anyone could see them. Her aunts came to her last night and teaches her how to control her water manipulation as well as her voice. She can amplify her voice to a sonic scream or hypnotized her enemies, but only works for males. She can even turn water into ice and melts them with her mind. They trained Mira every night with Astrid. Blódughadda trains them in both land and water combat. Astrid can breathe underwater now. Hrönn gave Astrid a special medallion that can help her breathe underwater and helps her be more maneuverable too. And Astrid made sure to keep hidden. Speaking of powers, Joe and Jon are almost turning sixteen and would one day go to the ocean to activate their full merman powers. They were getting excited but have to keep it a secret from the others. The ones that only know are the dragons, Astrid, Gothi, Kishi, and X.
Back to Mira, the young girl/mermaid was adjusting the mast of the sail while Bucket and Muclh were trying to catch some fishes. However, Bucket was struggling with the fishing net. Seeing his struggles, Mira tires the rope of the mast and went over to Bucket.
"Is there something wrong Bucket?" Mira asked.
"I can't get it!" Bucket said to Mira as he pants, trying to pull the net out from the water.
Mulch came over to them when he saw the commotion. "What's the problem?" He asked.
"I'm not sure, Mulch! I can't raise the net! Something's pulling that end down!" Bucket said.
"Maybe it's a Scauldron or a Thunderdrum that is pulling the net?" Mira suggested.
But Bucket and Mulch had different perspective. "Or maybe it's a…"
That's when the two male Vikings became scared on what might be pulling the net. They looked at each other in fear and screamed. "SEA MONSTER!"
"I don't think-"
Mira was cut off when the net was pulled into the ocean and sea water shoots at the male Vikings while Mira was able to avoid it. Soon, what happening next made Mira annoyed, she saw Barf and Belch emerging from the water with the Thorston twins on their necks, and were waving their arms hands, before revealing that they were pranking them.
"Loki'd!" The Thorston Twins laughed at their prank.
Mira made a look before she helps Mulch and Bucket up. The two male Vikings were annoyed at them. But before they could even scold them, they saw Trader Johann was lying behind Tuffnut, almost unconscious.
"Johann?" Mira spoke in shock.
Johann slightly wakes up and desperately tries to call for help. "Help me!" He said weakly before falling unconscious again.
However, the Thorston Twins didn't see them as they made fun at Bucket and Mulch for being scared. "Oh man, you should see the looks on your faces. Priceless!" Tuffnut said.
"Full Loki'd!" He and Ruffnut said unison before turning to the three. "Bet you've never saw a full Loki coming, am I right, Johann?" Tuff said as he turns Johann with a casual look before turning to the others until it took him few seconds to realize that Johann was behind him.
"JOHANN?!" Tuff exclaims while Johann squirted out some water.
"We have to take him back to Berk, fast!" Mira said.
Hearing this, Barf and Belch put their Riders and Johann on the boat before grabbing the rope that was attached to it and pulls the boat back on Berk quickly. Once they reach to Berk, they quickly informed Hiccup about this as the Thorston Twins were carrying Johann. The Trader informs them about Edgar was able to escape Outcast Island with the Insanities that were trapped there, and also informs him that Hiccup was number one on his revenge list.
With that said, all the Riders plus X and Kishi gather at the Academy as they have to figure out where Edgar had escaped to after stealing Johann's ship and throwing him overboard. Hiccup placed a big map of the archipelago on the wall in hopes to find what location did Edgar went to.
"All we got from Johann before he passed out was this, Edgar escaped from Outcast Island by commandeering his ships." Hiccup said as he brought a stick points to map that was a bit far from Outcast Island. "He threw Johann overboard about here."
"Oh, so what you're saying is Edgar could be anywhere by now." Snotlout stated. Clearly, he was hiding sarcasm in his tone.
Hiccup and the others turned to him. "Well, technically, yes." Hiccup answered with a shrug.
Snotlout sarcastically relief by this. "Oh, great. Great, great, great. So that just leaves... I don't know, let me think about this...the entire ocean to search!" Snotlout pointed out in annoyance as he placed his hands on his hips. "No, thank you!"
Then they heard two Night Fury roars. Turning to the entrance, they saw Joe and Jon riding their Night Furies, Lightning and Thunder. Trader Johann was riding with Jon as they entered the Academy and got off their dragons. Johann went over to Hiccup, happy that he was feeling better.
"Master Hiccup."
"Johann, you're awake." Hiccup said in relief.
Johann nodded and gestured the map behind them. "And feeling much better, thank you for asking. More importantly, I have more than a strong suspicion of where our nefarious foe may be heading."
Hiccup looks at the map and then to Johann. "Outside the Archipelago?"
"No! Just inside the fog bank on our outer group of islands." Johann corrected as he explains.
Hiccup rubbed his chin as he looks at the map. "We've never been out that far." He mutters.
"When Edgar commandeered my precious ship, he also came into possession of a very important map... one that leads to a graveyard of ships hidden in that fog bank." Johann explains.
"Wow! That's the first place I'd go." Snotlout said sarcastically.
Trader Johann was annoyed by his behavior. "If I may be allowed to finish?" He asked in annoyance with a finger raised.
Snotlout gave the trader his annoyed look as he pointed out to him this. "Johann, last time we allowed you to finish, we ended up on Breakneck Bog!" Snotlout explains with hand gestured. "So, no! No, finishing."
"Enough!" Hiccup said to Snotlout as he turns to Johann. "What's so special about the graveyard and why would he go there?"
Johann was about to explain. "Well, you see..."
Hiccup cuts him, so they won't have to hear his tall tales. "The short version, please."
Johann was somewhat disappointed by this, but he did answer simply. "It's where I store all my treasures and wares."
This shocked Snotlout and Tuffnut. Tuff even complemented Johann for that. "Wow, concise, to the point. Who knew he had it in him?" He said to Snotlout.
Johann felt flattered as he began to tell one of his tales. "Which reminds me of the first time I was labelled as "concise"! He was a young man, very ugly, I actually..."
"Um, Johann?" Mira spoke.
Trader Johann looks at her. "Yes?"
"Maybe you can tell us that story, after we capture Edgar." Mira suggested.
"Oh, well…alright." Johann agreed to that.
"Is there anything else?" Hiccup asked before they leave.
Johann nodded. "As a matter of fact, there is one ship you must avoid at all cost. It's called 'The Reaper'." He said in a dreaded tone, scaring Snotlout, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, and Fishlegs. Hiccup, Astrid, Mira, X, Kishi, and the J Twins weren't scared, but they were curious and suspicious about it.
"What's the Reaper?" Joe and Jon asked unison.
"It is a ship that is riddled with booby traps from stem to stern. Barely made it out with my life the only time I dared venture aboard. Oh, wow!" Johann explains, remembering that he almost lost his life by that ship.
Knowing what to do, Hiccup turns to his dragon. "Okay, Toothless, let's go." He said, but before he leaves, he turns to the group. "Unless, of course, any of you can make time out of your busy schedules to capture a dangerous maniac?" He questions them.
Later, in the afternoon, the gang was seen flying through the sky. Joe and Jon were at home to babysit Betty and Aqua with their dragons while the others head off to find Edgar. Hiccup was happy that the gang are back together, going on another mission together. He describes this as the 'the old days'. Wanting to test them if they were rusty, he made everyone do a V Formation. The dragons form a 'V' shape in the air and Hiccup complimented it before saying a 'Diamond Formation'. The dragons form a diamond in the air.
"How rusty does this guy think we are?" Tuffnut asked smugly to the others.
But unfortunately, he and sister didn't realize that their Dragon was squishing Fishlegs between Meatlug like a sandwich until Fishlegs called out to them. "Uh...guys? A little tight on the diamond, are we?"
Hiccup chuckles and pats his dragon. "Just like old times." He said with a smile.
That's when Hookfang light himself on fire and flies past everyone including Toothless and Hoccup. Snotlout started boasting about this. "Five thousand pounds of flaming muscle coming through!"
As the Monstrous Nightmare flies away, Hiccup shook his head at them. "Ever classic." He mutters as he and the others went after them. It took them a while until they reach their destination where Johann told them.
The Ship Graveyard.
It was night and the Ship Graveyard gave the group shivered in their spines. It felt like this place was haunted. It was filled with unfamiliar, strange and heavily damaged ships. Mira could've sworn that some ships were also from the south, feeling that some of the people from the south must've came to explore and got shipwreck. Hiccup was somewhat happy. He knew that there was more of the archipelago.
"Some of these ships, I've never seen anything like them before." Astrid said to the others, feeling uncomfortable by this. "Do you recognize some of the ships?" Astrid asked Mira.
Mira nodded a bit. "Yeah, some ships here look like from the south." She said.
"I guess some people from the south wanted to explore the archipelago and didn't get so far." Kishi explained through their minds.
"Yikes…" Fishlegs muttered in fear.
"Okay, everybody fanout! If anyone sees any signs of Edgar, send the signal." Hiccup ordered before they split up.
The Dragons Riders, X, and Kishi tried to find Edgar. Although, their dragons weren't uncomfortable by this place. Stormfly would get jittery whenever she sees those ships and Astrid had to calm her down. Voltage would check if something was following him or his brother from behind. Sapphire would whine worriedly as she looks at the half sunken ships. Meatlug spewed a lava ball from all the sudden nervousness. Though, in the process, there were some creatures that the dragons fear and they were underwater. Though, Hookfang wasn't scared after Snotout crashes to a mast and was dangling for his life and the Nightmare left him there. And Hiccup and Toothless found the Reaper Ship. Later, the gang regroup to a ship that was still a float. They told their reports and didn't find Edgar anywhere. Astrid asked what's the plan and Hiccup said that they should wait.
"Wait a minute." Fishlegs cuts him off. "For how long? This fog really gives Meatlug the willies." He informs them.
Astrid agreed with him. "He has a point. We can't wait here forever." She stated.
"Yeah, and I have a feeling that we're being watched." Mira said, looking around nervously.
"We can't just leave Johann's treasure here either." Hiccup reminded them. "Edgar will steal them!"
"And use the profit to build a new armada." Astrid finished, remembering that all the treasures and valuables that Johann has.
That's when Ruffnut got an idea. "Not if we steal them first!"
Tuffnut, on the other hand, didn't like her idea as he crosses his arms. "That is the dumbest idea I've ever heard! I hereby disown you!" He announced, making Ruff annoyed.
However, Hiccup liked Ruffnut's idea. "Actually, you know what? I actually like it!" He said.
Tuffnut taken back what he said to his sister. "Welcome back to the family." He said.
X looks at Hiccup. "Are you sure?" He questioned.
Hiccup nodded and explains the plan. "Here's the plan. We search the ship, gather Johann's treasure and take it back to Berk. But keep your eyes open for Edgar. He could show up anytime-"
Hiccup was cut off by loud hissing noises. Astrid questioned about the noise while Tuffnut asked tupidly if Edgar's voice changed. But no, they were actually eels. Giant eels! Hiccup told the others to get to their dragons before they get spooked off by the eels. But they were too late as the dragons took off in fear. The ones who stayed behind were Toothless, Sapphire, and Voltage. Snotlout started screaming when he saw the Giant Eels. Mira hoped that her Aunt Hrönn was close by because she can control eels. Suddenly, the Eels started to sink the ship by pulling it down with their body and tail. The ship was tipped over and everyone was falling towards the water. Luckily, Snotlout grabbed what appears to be the tiller of the boat.
"Fishlegs! Grab my foot!" Snotlout said and Fishlegs indeed grabs Snotlout foot, who immediately regrets. "Oh, you ate a full breakfast!" Snotlout grunted. Soon, the others grabbed each other's feet and Snotlout had to hold on. "You ate everybody's breakfast!" Snotlout added. X, Kishi, and Toothless were in air with Sapphire, Mira, and Voltage. They were going to get the others and saved them before the eels do.
"We're gonna live!" Tuffnut cheered happily as he holds on to his sister's legs. However, Astrid slips and falls into the water, screaming.
"Astrid!" Mira screamed.
"No!" Hiccup yelled.
"Most of us are gonna live!" Tuff added when he saw Astrid fall.
Astrid crashes into the water. She quickly activates the medallion to help her breathe underwater. The giant eels saw her and surround her, hungry to feast on the Shield Maiden. Astrid quickly drew her axe, ready to defend herself from the giant eels. Mira quickly jumps off Sapphire and dives into the water. Sapphire roars in alarm as Mira entered the water. Mira quickly turns into her mermaid form and swims towards Astrid and was ready to help her. Before the giant eels could get them, someone stopped them by giving out a single command.
"ENOUGH!"
The eels and the two girls turned around to see Hrönn, one of Mira's aunts, swimming towards them. she was glaring at the eels in anger and disappointment as she made her way towards Mira and Astrid. The giant eels bowed to her as they moved away to give her space as she went to the two girls. Her expression changed to concern and worry as she looks at them.
"Are you two alright?" She asked.
"Yeah, we're fine thanks to you." Astrid said respectfully.
"You came just in time." Mira said with a smile.
Hrönn smiles and hugs her niece gently before letting go as she holds her shoulders. "Go back to your friends. I will take the eels to another location, away from you and your friends." She said.
Mira smiles and nodded. "Thank you, Aunt Hrönn."
Hrönn smiles again and kisses her niece's forehead before swimming away, commanding the eels to follow her, so they can be away from the Dragon Riders. Knowing the potential threat was gone, Mira quickly turns back to her human form and help Astrid swim up to surface. The giant eels let go of the ship that had their friends on board and Sapphire came to get Mira and Astrid out of the water. She placed them back to the boat and the other regroup. Snotlout, who was looking casual for a moment, pointed out.
"Pardon me. Does anyone else think that Johann could have warned us about…I don't know…" Snotlout then became angry and yelled. "THE GIANT SCREAMING EELS?!"
"Snotlout, calm down. Astrid and I saw the eels retreating. They won't be back for a while." Mira said.
"Mira's right, Snotlout. Just relax, okay? The dragons will be back. In the meantime, we stick with the plan. We find Johann's treasure. Quietly." Hiccup informs.
However, Snotlout made an annoyed looked before stomping loudly towards the entrance of the boat. Hiccup sighs in annoyance before looking at the Reaper. He has a feeling that there's something on the ship that Edgar seems to value. Mira and Astrid followed his gaze, they have a bad feeling about this.
"Why are you staring at that ship?" Astrid asked him.
Hiccup didn't break his gaze as he eyes at the Reaper. "Because I'm thinking of checking it out."
"The Reaper? The ship Johann warned us about?" Astrid questioned in shock.
"Hiccup, Johann barely got out of there alive, you have no idea what might be in there." Mira pointed out.
Hiccup nodded as he turns to them. "Exactly! A ship covered with booby traps from step to stern." Hiccup looks at the Reaper seriously. "I'm thinking, what is on there they don't want people to find?"
The Riders were collecting the treasures that belongs to Johann while Hiccup and Toothless fly to the Reaper alone. X, Voltage, and Kishi left to get the dragons since they might not be coming back to get their riders after the giant eels spooked them. Mira, in her mermaid form, was underwater with Sapphire. Mira gave Sapphire the magical pearl that can help her breathe underwater. Her Aunt Kolga gave her the magical pearls for emergencies only. They and the others split up in searching for the treasures of Johann. Mira and Sapphire were going to the sunken ship that was deep beneath the water. it was big, so it meant it was for traveling long distance. Mira wanted to know how the people of the south were going to the north. When they saw a boat from the south, she and Sapphire swims through the hole. They saw many items that were on the ground. Mira and Sapphire investigates to see if there was anything that might have cause the ship to sink. Mira looks around through drawers to see anything that might have cause them to come to the north. When she and Sapphire entered the captain's room, something caught her interest. There was small chest that was on top of a desk. Curious, Mira decided to take the chest and in hopes to find answers.
Mira and Sapphire swims out of the ship and towards the ship where the others were. As it turns out, some of the riders found some valuable items that they wanted. The Twins found jewels and Tuff stored them in Ruff's mouth. Fishlegs found some books and maps that were new. And Snotlout found 'valuable' hairs. However, when Mira returned, she saw that her friends were captured by Edgar and his men. They were locked up in one of those strange cages. Mira and Sapphire quickly ducked back in the water, so that Edgar and his men doesn't see them. Hiccup and Toothless were out of deck and were facing Edgar.
"Hello, Haddock. It's been three years." Edgar mocked as steps aside to reveal the Dragon Riders locked in the cage behind him.
"Astrid!" Hiccup called out in shock.
"Sorry, Hiccup. He got the drop on us while we were searching..." Astrid explains, glaring at Edgar.
Hiccup turns to Edgar with a glare. "What do you want, Edgar?"
Snotlout, wearing a bunch of hair on his helmet, and flips it. "Duh, he wants the jewels." He said.
Tuffnut butts in and said. "He's not getting my family's jewels. No way! And I'll protect them at all cost! Also, what is with that hair?" Tuff asked Snotlout.
"Ha! It's royal hair, I'll have you know." Snotlout said proudly.
"I see some never change. And yes, I'll take the jewels. His too." Edgar pointed out to Ruff, who he mistakenly took her as a man.
One of Edgar's men her with the end of his spear, causing her to spit out the jewels. She glares at him in anger. "Watch it, pal!"
The man just laughed at her, but immediately regrets it when Ruffnut spits a jewel into his mouth, causing him to choke while Ruff smirks at her work.
"And I thought that one was a man." Edgar muttered before turning to Hiccup. "Now, what are you hiding behind your back?" He questioned, holding a sword in front of the Dragon Riders.
Hiccup didn't hesitate as he gave the mysterious item that he and Toothless found on the Reaper and hands it over over to Edgar, who taken it. "You know you're not going to get very far with that thing, right?"
"I am no fool Haddock. But I will give you a chance to save your pathetic friends." Edgar said before leaving with his men. "Until we meet again on the field of battle, Haddock."
As Edgar and his men leave, Hiccup rush towards his friends and tries to open the cage. But it was no avail. It was locked up tight. As Hiccup and Toothless tried to free the others, Edgar and his men sailed away, but before they did, Edgar ordered his mane to fire a catapult, causing the bolder to hit the ship and sinking it. Toothless tried to blast it opened but the cage was fireproof. Fishlegs was fascinated by this and Hiccup stated that whoever built this ship really knew what they were doing. Suddenly, the ship started rocking side to side, tossing Snotlout onto Fishlegs before it rocks to the other side, tossing Fishlegs onto him.
"Oh, you know what would be more fascinating?! Getting us out of here!" Snotlout screamed.
Hiccup told Toothless to fire again, but the cage was still fireproof. Hiccup told the others to do their dragon calls and they did, but their dragons weren't here yet. Mira gasped in shocked and horror. Her friends were in danger. She needs to save them before they drown.
Quickly diving back to the water, Mira quickly dives down to the water while Sapphire went off to find the dragons, X, and Kishi. Mira swims beneath the sinking boat before she brought her hands and a pushing motion. Suddenly, ice started to form around the boat, preventing it from sinking further. Once the boat stops sinking, however, the ship was tilted upright, and the cage door opens all of sudden. The riders fall out of the cage screaming. Luckily, they were able to grab hold on to the cage and each other, clinging with their lives. Tuffnut was hanging upside down as he holds Hiccup's prosthetic leg when he uses it to open the cage to free the others.
"That was great." Tuff said happily, holding Hiccup's prosthetic leg.
Then Barf and Belch came to save their riders and Tuff looks at them. "Oh, so now you decide to show up." He said to them before he gets on Belch. Soon the other dragons shown up with X and Kishi and the riders got on their dragons.
"That was way too close!" Fishlegs said with a sigh.
Astrid looks at Hiccup. "Hiccup, what are we doing?" She asked.
"You guys go back to Berk. I'm going after Edgar. Whatever that cylinder-looking thing is, I know one thing for sure, it shouldn't be in his hands." Hiccup said.
"Don't worry, Mira and Sapphire are on it." Kishi said to them telepathically.
Speaking of which, Mira was swimming through the water, going towards Edgar's ship. Sapphire was close by as she watches from the sea-stacks, hidden beneath the fogbank. Mira resurfaces and listens to their conversation. Edgar and his men have no idea what it was or how to use this. Mira knew whatever they had it was dangerous. She was happy that she was a mermaid because her song can make men to be in hypnotic trance. Taking a deep breath, Mira started singing an incanting song.
(Sleepsong by Secret Garden)
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby
Back to the years of loo-li lai-lay
And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow
Bless you with love for the road that you go…
Her song made all the men in the boat froze and were in the hypnotic trance. Their eyes were widened, and their irises shrunk, hypnotized by the song. Sapphire smirks, knowing that her rider got them in her hypnotic song. Edgar was also hypnotized as he dropped the cylinder object, that Hiccup found, on the floor.
May you sail far to the far fields of fortune
With diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet
And may you need never to banish misfortune
May you find kindness in all that you meet
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Soon, Sapphire landed on the boat with grace as she made her way to the cylinder object and picks it up wither jaws. She looks at the hypnotized Edgar and glared him before she gets off to the boat and flies away while Mira slowly swims away as she sings.
May you bring love and may you bring happiness
Be loved in return to the end of your days
Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you
I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay
May there always be angels to watch over you
To guide you each step of the way
To guard you and keep you safe from all harm
Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Loo-li, loo-li, loo-li lai-lay
Loo-li, lai-lay
Once she finished, Mira dives into the water, causing Edgar and his men to snap out from the trance. Edgar was booming with anger as he realized the cylinder object was gone. Mira quickly swims away and towards a hidden location where Sapphire found her and brings her rider on her back before she turns into her human form. Sapphire gives Mira the strange object as they headed back to the others and then to Berk. Mira will check the chest that she found later after she and her friends figure out what the cylinder object is.
The Riders, X, and Kishi were at Gobber's shop. They told the blacksmith everything on what just happened and wonders what was inside cylindrical object that was so heavily guarded. Gobber suggested to open it, but the Riders tried, and it won't open. Gobber gave it a go and he struggled to open cylindrical object with all his might.
"Have you ever seen anything like this Dragon Eye before?" Hiccup asked his mentor.
"Dragon Eye? How do you know it's called a Dragon Eye?" Tuff asked stupidly.
"Because I named it." Hiccup pointed out.
Snotlout then butts in. "Whoa, whoa! Aren't we supposed to vote on stuff like that?" He questioned.
Hiccup shrugs at him and turns to the group. "Fine. All in favour, say "Dragon Eye"."
All the group, but Snotlout, raised their hands and yelled. "Dragon Eye!"
"…Just wanted to make sure we voted." Snotlout pointed out.
Astrid rolled her eyes at him and turns to Gobber. "Can you open it, Gobber?" She asked.
Gobber was struggling to open it but was able to chuckle. "Can I open it? I once opened a 500-year-old giant clam at the bottom of the ocean with my bare hook." He said with his arm spread as he tries to open the Dragon Eye with his hool. "Can I open it? Ha! I think it's going to be..."
Then there was clicking and sounds that was coming from the Dragon Eye. It got Gobber's interest, thinking that he had finally opened it, until a single dart shoots out of Dragon Eye and hits Tuffnut in the chest. Tuffnut wasn't fazed at first as he looks at the dart.
"Ugh. What is that? That looks like a-" Tuffnut then passes out after the dart took effect on him, causing Ruffnut to laugh at him.
They stared at Tuffnut's unconscious state with surprise. X wasn't surprised, he was leaning on the wall with his arms crossed as he stared at Tuff's unconscious state. Mira had her mouth covered as she slowly removes her mouth and looks at Tuff.
"I-Is he…"
Kishi went over to Tuff and placed two fingers on Tuff's neck to feel a pulse. "Don't worry, he's alive." He said.
"Well, that was something, maybe…" Gobber said before trying to open the Dragon Eye again.
"Gobber, maybe you shouldn't-"
Hiccup was cut off when Gobber pointed out between grunts. "Trust me. I'm do-"
Suddenly, green gas sprays out of Dragon Eye that resembles to a Zippleback gas. Everyone covered their mouths and noises, preventing from inhaling the gas. However, Tuffnut suddenly wakes up after the dart's effect wore-off. He adjusted his helmet as he got up.
"I'm okay. I got hit with something, but now-" Tuff didn't cover his mouth as he sniffs the green gas. "No, scratch that."
Tuffnut then falls on hard ground and was in a seizure-like jerking movements. The group looked at Tuff as they became concern about this while Ruff looks at her brother in amusement.
"Yeah, I'm thinking we should probably go get Gothi and Jon." Hiccup suggested.
So, they dragged the twitching male Thorston to Gothi's hut, where the old healer was teaching Jon how to make herbal tea to cure sore throats. When they told them Tuff's situation, Gothi went to her covers and went over to Tuff. Jon sets Tuff down on a chair when Gothi comes out from her hut before she shoves some medicine into Tuffnut's mouth, who swallowed it. Once he gulps all the medicine, he started scratching his teeth.
"My teeth are itching. My teeth are itchy." Tuff said, between scratches.
"Is it supposed to do that?" Mira asked her brother.
Jon nodded. "Yup, it's good sign. It means the medicine is working." He explains.
"Thank you, Gothi. We really appreciate this." Hiccup said to Gothi, who nodded.
The healer then notices Gobber was fiddling with Dragon Eye. Gothi's eyes trailed down to the keyhole and her eyes widen in shock. She turns away with worry and trouble coming to her. Hiccup saw this and went to her.
"Gothi, are you okay? What is it?" He asked in concern.
"Is there something wrong?" Jon added, worried about his mentor.
Gothi glanced at them before she points to a scar on her arm that matches the keyhole before she walks away, not wanting to write about it. Hiccup and Fishelgs were shocked to see that bitemark. It matches the keyhole.
"Gothi…Her…Her scar...it matches the keyhole!" Hiccup stated.
"Yeah, and it looked like a dragon bite to me." Fishlegs added.
Gobber, who was fiddling with the Dragon Eye, pointed out to them. "Oh, it is. But she doesn't like to talk about it." He said, causing the two males to look at him.
"She doesn't like to talk about anything." Fishlegs informed plainly.
Tuffnut was still scratching his teeth, looked at his sister, who was leaning at Gothi's hut. "Oh, that's why she writes in the dirt with her stick. I thought that was just, like, her thing." He said.
"Yeah, like Snotlout being a woman repellent." Ruff added with a grin.
"Maybe we could use the stick to itch the teeth." Tuff said, scratching his teeth.
"Don't worry, Tuff. The effects will wear off in four days." Jon explains. "Until then, you have to get use of the scratching teeth."
Hiccup and Fishlegs were about to leave, when Gobber saw them and stops fiddling with the Dragon Eye. "Where are you going?" He called out to them.
Hiccup turns to Gobber. "After her. We have to find out what kind of dragon made that scar. It could be the key to opening the Dragon Eye." He stated as he was about to leave, but Gobber stops him.
Gobber gave the Dragon Eye to Jon, who glanced at it and then Gobber. "Hold on. I have ways of making her talk." Gobber said with a chuckle. "Well…scribble, anyway."
"What are you planning, Gobber?" Jon asked him with a brow raised.
Later that night, Gobber opens a pot of soup. But it wasn't any type of soup. It was Gothi's favorite meal, Gobber's homemade yak noodle soup. It's the only weakness of Gothi, well. That and Betty's adorable eyes. Knowing that she can't resist, Gothi ate the soup quickly and tosses the pot away before sitting down.
"Ho ho! She downed that like a yak in a heat wave." Fishlegs said before turning to Hiccup and Jon. "That makes sense, right?"
Jon has his arms crossed and made a hand suggestion. "Well, no. Actually, it's more when Scourge chugs a whole basket of fish in one gulp." He stated, remembering that Scourge and his friends were having an eating contest with Toothless, Hookfang, Voltage, and Barf & Belch. Scourge was the reigning champion while Toothless and Voltage were second and Hookfang was last.
"Now, tell me about this bite mark." Hiccup said to Gothi.
Gothi glanced at him before she grabs her staff and started writing in the dirt. Gobber looks at the scribbles on the dirt and started translating. "When I was a turkey neck..." Gothi hits him with her staff for his wrong explanation. "Ow! Teenager. Sorry!" Gobber apologized.
"Maybe I should do the translating Gobber." Jon suggested, feeling bad for the blacksmith. He looks at Gothi's writing and translated to the others. "Gothi said: I had a longing to climb Glacier Island to find pure glacial water known for its healing properties. So, I went with two Vikings."
Gobber leans over to Hiccup and Fishlegs, who glanced at them. "I thought she wrote vegetables." He whispers to them before he gets hit by Gothi when she heard it. "Ow! Sorry! I'm a bit rusty." He said with an award chuckle.
Gothi gave him a blank look as she remembered how she gotten the bitemark.
Years ago, Gothi, who's hair was black and yet still like her old self but with no wrinkles, was climbing the icy glacier with two Vikings behind her. Jon was narrating her story as she wrote it on the ground.
"We had only been at the summit for a few hours when we were hit by a terrible snowstorm."
Gothi and her two companies stopped dead in their tracks when a snowstorm came out of nowhere. They tried to shield themselves and tried to find shelter. Until something came…
"That's when it attacked."
Soon, the two Vikings were attacked by a mysterious dragon that was impossible to see through the storm. It took down the male and then the female. Gothi was all alone as she held her staff close and was ready to defend herself.
"It was vicious. Relentless and impossible to see in the white-out."
Suddenly, the mysterious dragon landed behind Gothi with a roar. The 'young' healer slowly turns around and came face to face with the dragon who was responsible of the attack.
"The Snow Wraith."
The Snow Wraith was ruthless as it roars at Gothi, who was trying to defend herself, before it bites her arm and carried Gothi off. It dropped her when she was whacking it with her staff none stop, and she landed into a snow pile. However, it never finished her off and walked away.
"I'll never know why it didn't finish me off that day. I left knowing only one thing..." Jon was cut off when Gobber decided to read the end of the writing.
"-That I never wanted to smooch that dragon again…smooch?" Gobber was cut off when Gothi hits him hard. "Ow!"
"Gobber, she wrote see. She never wanted to 'see' it again." Jon corrected the blacksmith.
"You know, your drawing ain't what it used to be, old woman." Gobber said to Gothi, who prepares to hit him, as he quickly added. "But your swing, strong as ever!"
Hiccup went over to Hiccup. "Gothi, a tooth from the Snow Wraith is the key to unlocking the Dragon Eye. You have to help us find it." Hiccup said t her hopefully.
Gothi frowns at him in anger and annoyance as scribbles in the dirt. Jon wasn't familiar with the symbols that she drew, but Gobber knew what it meant as his eyes widen in shock. He raised his hand and hook up.
"I-I can't say that to him. He's the Chief's son!" Gobber pointed out.
Jon looks at what Gothi wrote. "What did she say?" He asked.
Gobber erases scribbles before Jon could figure out. "It's nothing until you reach a curtain age, you'll know." He said before mumbling. "Oh, if Karma ever find out about this, I'm dead meat."
Gothi made a look before she rewrites again. Jon understood and translated. "She says: No way she's ever going back. And besides, Berk needs her."
Gobber agreed. "It's true. She's the best healer we've got." He said before placing a hand on Jon's shoulder. "Also Jon."
"Thanks." Jon said with a smile.
"Well, Jon can cover for you." Hiccup said.
Jon looks at him with wide eyes. "Wait, what?" He asked in surprise.
"Yeah! Jon's been learning from you for years! And he watched you work so many times." Fishlegs added.
Jon has his arms crossed and shrugs. "True, I know everything thanks to Gothi." He said.
Gothi knew that Jon will become a great healer one day. But she still didn't want to go after the Snow Wraith incident. However, Hiccup changes Gothi's mind by having her relate to him.
"You remember the viciousness of the Snow Wraith. I get that. But you also remember how it was to be my age, to want to explore, to need to see what else is out there. To get answers to questions you haven't even asked yet." He explains before picking up the Dragon Eye that Jon placed on the ground. "This will help me do all of that. But only…only if you help me unlock it."
Gothi looked at him in astonished. She was moved by his words and determination of finding out the truth. Even though Berk needed her, Jon can handle things on his own while she's gone. After all, he did learn from the best. So, smiles in approval, Gothi accepts this and help the Dragon Riders to find the Snow Wraith at Glacier Island.
On the next day, the gang were flying towards Glacier Island on their dragons. Joe was there with them since he wanted to come along for the adventure, plus to see the Snow Wraith up close and getting the Glacial Water for Jon. X was flying besides Mira and Sapphire while Voltage was at the other side, flirting with Sapphire. Toothless growled in annoyance at him, but he couldn't do anything as he leads the group to Glacier Island. Kishi was in his Mors's form as they fly besides Hiccup, who saw Glacier Island.
"Look at the size of that island." Hiccup said as he shielded his eyes from the sun that reflected at the ice.
Fishlegs was excited that they were going to find a new dragon. "Oh! The Book of Dragons mentions the Snow Wraith but doesn't have any information on it. Can you believe this? A brand-new dragon. It's been so long! I've forgotten what this feeling is." Fishlegs explains happily.
However, the Thorston Twins and their dragon stared at him in disgust or in disturbance while Joe looks at him in amusement. Fishlegs made an apologetic smile. "Sorry. Excited about the new dragon!"
"You mean the dragon that single-handedly wiped out Gothi's entire search party." Astrid pointed out.
"Though it did spare her life." Joe added in a mutter.
Fishlegs was silence for a short while. "That would be correct…so worth the long flight." He said with a smile.
"Speak for yourself!" Snotlout yelled out as they all turned to him. "Your neck hair's not covered in old lady drool!" He complains, gesturing a sleeping Gothi, who was snoring and drooling on Snotlout.
"Give her a break, Snotlout. Old ladies need their sleep." Joe stated before looking up ahead. "And besides, we're here."
Everyone was relief that that finally reach to the island. They land their dragons on the snow-covered island. Joe whistles in amazement, finding it fascinated to see a new island. Meanwhile, Snotlout 'offers' to help Gothi to get down Hookfang, but as she holds his hand, Snotlout retracts it, sending her tumbling down on the show. Snotlout pretended that it was an accident.
"Oh! Yak hands. Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" He laughs in amusement. However, he immediately regrets it when Gothi tripped him with her staff. "Fair enough." He mutters.
Astrid smirks in amusement. "You know, we should bring her along more often." She said.
"Yeah, someone has to keep Snotlout on his toes." Joe added, earning his hair to be ruffled by Astrid.
Gothi walks few feet from the group and looks at the glacial water while inspecting the island as she remembers where the Snow Wraith attacked her and her companies. Joe decided to collect some glacial water for Jon as Gothi turns to the Dragon Riders, X, and Kishi before shrugging her shoulders, causing everyone to be disappointed.
"Great, just great! She's got nothin'!" Snotlout exclaims. "Someone else is wearing that bag of bones home." He informs while rubbing his back. "She's all knees and elbows."
Gothi gave him an annoyed look until the wind started to get stronger. Everyone including their dragons shielded themselves against the strong wind. Lightning shielded Joe as he started shivering from the cold. Snotlout, who was hugging himself, came over to Hiccup.
"Can we please do something? My mouth is starting to freeze shut." He said.
"Don't get our hopes up." Astrid said dully, shielding herself from the wind.
"Well, then we should work fast to find this Snow Wraith. Because we're not leaving until we do." Hiccup explains.
"Let's split up so we can cover more ground." Astrid suggested.
Hiccup agrees. "Good idea. Dragon call if you come across anything." He said.
Hearing, Snotlout quickly informs his dragon. "Quick, Hookfang, before she sees us!" When Snotlout turns to Hookfang quickly, he sees Gothi already sitting on Hookfang calmly. "Ah!"
Gothi pats the saddle, informing Snotlout to get on. Hookfang likes Gothi, she gives Snotlout a whole new type of pain, meaning he helped her up. Snotlout acts all casual, not wanting to get hit by her staff. "Hi. I was just talking about you." He said before going to his dragon in annoyance.
The Dragon Riders got on their dragons while X and Kishi spread their wings before they take off to the sky to search for the Snow Wraith. But they have no idea that the Snow Wraith was there, behind them the whole time, camouflage on the snow. And once it heard them, it opens its icy blue eyes before his pupils turned to slits.
Back on Berk, Jon was preparing to help all the Viking men and women that were lined up on Gothi's hut. Jon's assistance, aka Thunder the Night Fury, was helping his rider tend the sick and injured. They helped Magnus's problem. His leg was caught in an old dragon trap. It was tricky because the trap was rusty, it took Jon and Thunder to pull the trap open, enough to get Magnus's leg free before disposing the trap and then Jon used a special ointment to ease off the pain, which made Magnus feel relief. Next, he helped a Viking that has a thorn on his foot. Jon uses a special tweezers to pull out the thorn gently before using a little pain reliever ointment. And then they helped Agnar with his puking problem. Jon suggested that Agnar ate a bad fish or plant that caused his stomach to be upset. So, Jon prepared a special tea that Gothi taught him that ease the upset stomach. Plus, he learned from his aunts how to make a potion to regrow hair. He made sure that Agnar doesn't know, it was his gift after he gave Joe and Jon a wagon ride when they were kids.
Jon stayed long hours on helping the Viking community. Thunder would take off to find more important herbs that were running out form Gothi's supplies while Jon treats the patients.
He just hoped that his family and friends.
Speaking of the Dragon Riders and Gothi, they search the are to find the Snow Wraith after the snowstorm seemingly disappears, the Riders, X, and Kishi regrouped. They couldn't find the Snow Wraith. The Thorston twins only found were scattered yak bones while Fishelgs claimed that he did not see anything, but he did feel like something was watching him. Snotlout agreed for once, but his was different.
"Oh, I had a weird feeling, too. Like this old lady was stuck on my back!" Snotlout gestured Gothi behind him, who slowly appeared, scaring him and Tuff.
"Aah! Two heads!" Tuff yelled in a fright before realizing that their dragon has two heads. "Oh, sorry, guys. I mean, on you two, it works. I've seen it before. I'm used to it."
Then another snowstorm approaches, this time it was bigger, and Astrid suggests that they should leave. Hiccup refuses and says that they should remain and wait until the Snow Wraith shows itself. He states that the dragon only likes to attack when you can't see it. So, they had no choice but to camp, during a storm. Their dragons were using their wings to protect their riders. Hiccup yelled through the strong to use their dragons as extra protection from the wind. Suddenly, something destroyed Hiccup's tent, scaring everyone, especially Fishlegs.
"It's the Snow Wraith!" Fishlegs screams as he hides inside his tent, shielding himself. "Oh! Okay, I'm gonna be okay. I'm gonna be okay."
Sadly, the Snow Wraith destroyed his tent, scaring Fishlegs even more. Hiccup told everyone to hold your ground and fire back. But Astrid pointed out that how can they fire back when they can't even see it. Knowing that she's right, Hiccup tells the Riders to take cover. As the Dragon Riders, X, Kishi, and Gothi retreated, the Snow Wraith fires a blast which sends Snotlout flying, landing in a snow pile while Hiccup and Toothless got covered in snow as well and has a perfect view of the Snow Wraith.
Then the Snow Wraith heads over to the snow pile where Snotlout was and began sniffing around. Snotlout tried his best to stay really quiet as the Snow Wraith roared at his face. However, the dragon could not see Snotlout. Joe saw this and realizes something. He remembers reading a book about snakes that they infrared vision, meaning that they can see body heat.
That is why it couldn't see Snotlout. Because of the snow pile, it couldn't see his heat signature. Then Hiccup orders Toothless to fire a warning shot, which alerts the Snow Wraith of their position and it flies over. Hookfang, Sapphire, and Stormfly soon joins in and attacks the Snow Wraith with their fire. This causes the Snow Wraith to head over to them instead while Snotlout laughs before being covered by the snow. The Snow Wraith charges at them, causing Astrid to fall off from Stormfly and almost fell on a cliff, it was a good thing she was able to hold on. Hiccup and Toothless get out of the snow pile, and Toothless uses his echolocation power to locate the Snow Wraith from the whiteout. Successful, Toothless then releases multiple blasts, all of which it dodges. The Snow Wraith then retreats to the sky. Mira quickly went over to Astrid and secretly uses her ice powers to make steps for Astrid to climb. Once Astrid was up, they went over to Hiccup with the others.
"Everybody okay? Everybody here?" Hiccup asked them.
"What do you mean by "here"?" Ruff asked, annoyed that they almost died.
Snotlout, who got out of the snow-pile, pointed out to Hiccup impatiently. "I have a question, Hiccup. What exactly is your plan to get a Snow Wraith tooth? Take it out of one of our dead bodies?"
Tuffnut butts in. "If all goes well, it'll be Ruffnut's dead body. And the Wraith tooth." He said with a grin while Ruff glares at him.
"I have a plan." Joe said, coming over to them.
"You do?" Hiccup asked.
Joe nodded. "We can trick the Snow Wraith to think it sees us, but we're not here." He explains.
"You can make yourself invisible?" Tuff asked stupidly as he looked at Joe in awe. "Why does he get to do all the cool stuff? I just have to sit here with you as a sister." He complains at Ruff.
"Will you two be quiet for ten seconds?!" Snotlout exclaims to Tuff.
"No, Tuff's not that far off. Look, I saw the Snow Wraith didn't have any trouble seeing us until Snotlout got buried in the snow. And Gothi said it couldn't find her when she fell into a snowbank. I read a book from Trader Johann that snakes can only see body heat, and maybe the Snow Wraith does that, seeing our heat. It's like Toothless can find things with sound." Joe explains.
Hiccup's eyes widen in realization. "We'll use this to our advantage to confuse it. Then, while it's distracted, we'll net it and get that tooth." He finished the plan. "I like it."
"And you're sure it will work?" Astrid asked.
"Should, as long as we stick to the plan." Joe said.
Snotlout looks at Joe and Hiccup in annoyance. "I hate you two, you know that?"
"Yes, I am aware of that." Hiccup said while Joe shrugs. "All right, gang, let's get to work."
Hours later, they construct dummies from sticks and rags that were left of their tents and positions them in a circle in the middle of a clearing. The plan is to trick the Snow Wraith to take the dummies as the Riders when they are lit up, and then it would attack the figures, leaving it distracted from the real Riders for a short while. The gang and Gothi were hidden in a cave not far off from the dummies.
"Pretty good. Now, if I'm right, when we light these on fire, the Snow Wraith will think they're us and attack. Then we'll have the drop on it." Hiccup explains the plan.
"And then, we get the tooth." Joe finished with a grin.
"Wait, wait, wait! Look at how realistically gorgeous my statue is." Sntolout said, pointing at his statue. "I can't in good conscience send that into flames." Then Snotlout's statue's head is blown off by the wind, startling Snotlout in the process.
"I'll work through the pain and do it for you." Astrid said blankly.
Snotlout thought she cared, but she didn't, and asked to her. "Wow, you'd do that for me, Astrid?"
Astrid rolled her eyes as Hiccup looks at Toothless. "All right, Toothless, light 'em up." He said.
"Sapphire, you do the same." Mira said to her Night Fury.
"Set it on fire, Lightning." Joe said to his dragon.
Soon, the three Night Furies blasted the dummies, setting them on fire. Snotlout saw his statue on fire as he removes his helmet and was sadden by this. "Somewhere in the world, a silent tear was just cried." He said softly while Astrid rolled her eyes.
It was quiet for a while and they were having doubts if the Snow Wraith was even coming, but it did show up when it saw the heat. The Snow Wraith dives down and takes out Snotlout's statue, causing Snotlout to be mad as well as Hookfang. The reason, there could only one dragon that can torment Snotlout, and that was Hookfang. Hookfang lights himself on fire, but he caused the cave's ice and snow to melt from above. Toothless and Sapphire felt water dripped on them as they look up and saw the cave melting. Suddenly, the ceiling collapsing down onto the Riders, X, and Kishi. Toothless, Sapphire, and Lightning were able to save their Riders from being trapped, but they were separated from the others, who were trying to break free from their trap.
Hiccup, Mira, and Joe and their Night Furies were vulnerable outside of the storm. The Snow Wraith has the advantage to detect them easily with their body heat. They stay in the fire of the statues as Toothless, Sapphire, and Lightning uses their echolocation skill to locate the Snow Wraith from the storm. They couldn't find the dragon due to it avoiding them. They have no idea that the Snow Wraith was sneaking up behind them to strike, but before it could, Gothi suddenly appears out of nowhere, and attacks the Snow Wraith with her staff, she holds a grudge against the Snow Wraith that attacked her long ago.
The three Night Furies couldn't attack it, due to Gothi being close at range, they can't stop it. That's when Joe did something crazy. He runs up to the Snow Wraith and jumps on its back. Roaring in surprise and anger, the Snow Wraith tries to shake Joe off, but he was holding on tight.
"JOE!" Mira called out to her brother in shock and fear.
"Don't-WOAH! Wo-RRYYY! I G-GOOOTTT TTHHHISSSS!" Joe suddenly yelled as the Snow Wraith took of the sky in full speed with screaming Joe.
"Joe, no!" Hiccup yelled as he gets on Toothless while Mira gets on Sapphire to go get him. Lightning followed them, wanting to save his rider.
Speaking of Joe, the teen was holding on with his dear life as the Snow Wraith trashes around through the storm, roaring in anger that mask Joe's frightful yells. However, even though they were in the sky, Joe's loud yells were heard by one of his aunts. Kolga came to the surface of the water when she heard one of her nephews were close by. She looks up and gasps in shock to see her nephew holding on to his dear life as the Snow Wraith tried to throw him off. As for Joe, the young warrior was holding on to his dear life.
"WOAH! AH! STOP!" Joe yelled whenever the Snow Wraith do tight turns or thrashing around "HEEL, YOU CRAZY DRAGON! HEEL!"
The Snow Wraith growled in anger and annoyance. He wanted this human off his back! He was about to throw the human off him by crashing towards a glacier, but before it could do it, a powerful gust of icy wind and blows off the Snow Wraith, causing it to roar in surprise while Joe yells. The Snow Wraith crashes to the snow while Joe quickly jumps off, barrel rolls through the snow before getting up on his feet to stop himself. He stood with back slouch a bit and arms out. He looks at himself and the Snow Wraith, that got his head on the snow, and he process this for a few seconds before he straightened himself up with arms up.
"Woohoo!" He cheered as he dusted the snow off him. "That was exhilarating."
Suddenly, the Snow Wraith got out off the snow and shook it off his head before turning to Joe, who froze, and glared at him.
"Oh, snap." Joe muttered in shock.
The Snow Wraith roared at him, but before it could charge at him, a giant ice shard appeared from the ground, separating the Snow Wraith from Joe. They were surprise and shock to see that. The ice shard slowly sinks back to the ground, and the crack closes itself, the two males heard something. They turned around and saw Kolga. She changed her tail into legs. Her long white M slit skirt waves through the wind as she wlaks bear footed. The Snow Wraith bowed his head in respect of the mermaid, after feeling her powerful aura. Joe made a nervous smile and waves.
"Hey, Aunt Kolga…" He greeted almost sheepishly.
The Snow Wraith snaps at Joe's direction and looks at him in shock and then to Kolga. He couldn't believe on what he was hearing. This human is related to Kolga?! So, that makes him a merman…how come he didn't know this until now!?
Kolga came in front of them and placed both her hands on her hips as she gave Joe a scolding look. "What were you thinking?!" She scolded. "You could've gotten yourself killed!"
Joe rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry, Aunt Kolga. Is just that we needed its tooth." He explains.
"And give me a reason why?" Kolga questioned, eyes narrowed.
Joe started explaining to his aunt about the Dragon Eye and the reason why they needed the Snow Wraith's tooth. Kolga listens to her nephew's explanation with her arms crossed while the Snow Wraith stood beside them. And once he finished, Kolga looks at her nephew calmly. She didn't want her nephew to get injure nor wanting him and the others to know the secret what's in the Dragon Eye for she and her sisters know what it holds. However, they are the only ones that can keep it safe. So, letting out a sigh, Kolga turns towards the Snow Wraith.
"Give my nephew your tooth." She said to it calmly.
Knowing not to anger her, the Snow Wraith opens his mouth, allowing Joe to get his tooth. However, Joe doesn't want to pull out the tooth. Instead, he brought out his wooden sword that he carries around for no apparent reason, but it was good thing. The Snow Wraith can bite it to leave its tooth there.
"Bite this, it's better getting a tooth stuck to it than me pulling it out." Joe suggested.
The Snow Wraith looks at him and then the wooden sword and then Joe again before he opens his mouth and bites the wooden sword. It wasn't a strong bite, but it was enough to leave a tooth. Once it retracted, there was tooth on the wooden sword. Joe grins and looks at the Snow Wraith.
"Thanks, big guy." He said before turning to Kolga and bowed. "Thank you as well, Aunt Kolga."
Kolga smiles at her nephew's manners. She pats his head gently. "You are welcome my nephew. Now, I believe you should return to your friends before they come."
Realizing that, Joe agreed with his aunt. "Good point."
"You better have a good explanation for them." Kolga said as she was about to leave.
"Don't worry, I got this covered." Joe said as he jumps and lies on the snow on his back. He turns to the Snow Wraith. "Go, now!" He ordered before lying back down.
The Snow Wraith looks at Joe for a second before turning away and then took off to the sky. Kolga smiles at her nephew's antiques. She turns away and disappeared through the icy wind. The Dragon Riders, X, Kishi, the dragons, and Gothi came. The Dragons landed and Mira quickly went over her brother, who was lying on the ground while they saw the Snow Wraith flying away. Joe sits up as he pretended to get hurt. Mira holds her brother close while Lightning came to his fallen rider.
"Are you okay?" Mira asked worriedly.
"Yeah, the Snow Wraith threw me off when I was smacking with this." Joe explains as he sits up before holding up his wooden sword that has the tooth.
"You got the tooth!" Hiccup said happily.
Joe nodded. "Yeah, it took a bite at it before throwing me off." He lied, and Mira, Kishi, Astrid, and X knew it. Joe gave Hiccup his wooden sword that has the Snow Wraith's tooth. He smiles and looks at the others.
"Well, we got the tooth, let's go home." Hiccup said.
"Finally! Hookfang! Let's go before-AH!" Snotlout turns to his dragon and saw Gothi already sitting behind the saddle. She smiles calmly as Snotlout exclaims. "Oh, come on!"
Everyone laughs as they got on their dragons before taking off back to Berk to tell Gobber the good news. Once they got back to Berk, they saw everyone was feeling okay and better. Gothi knew that Jon did well on his first job alone.
"Huh, I guess Jon did a great job." Hiccup said as they made their way to Gobber's shop.
Gobber saw them and smiles. "Welcome back! How was your trip?" He asked as he brought the Dragon Eye out and placed it on the counter.
"Hmmm…we almost freeze to death, almost got killed by a Snow Wraith, and almost got buried alive…meh, nothing much." Tuff said.
"So, Gobber, how was Jon being Gothi?" Hiccup asked, picking up the Dragon Eye.
"Well, he didn't get to wallop anybody with his staff, but he did a great job on-"
Then Agnar came running over to him. "Gobber! Gobber! I must have more of that potion that Jon made me earlier." He said excitingly.
"So, it cured your stomach ailments, did it?"
"Well, actually he already cured that. But he gave me another that cured this!" Agnar removes his helmet to reveal small strands of hair coming out form his head. "It's made my hair grow back!"
"He made that?" Mira asked in surprise, never knowing that her brother can be cable of doing that.
"Congrats, Agnar. You look so good." Snotlout said, slapping Agnar on the back, who grins instead of puking.
"Well, ask Jon to just whip up some more of that potion for you." Hiccup said.
"I tried, but he was so busy with the other patients." Agnar said.
"How about I, my sister, and Gothi ask him, sounds good?" Joe suggested.
Agnar grins and placed a hand on Joe's shoulder. "Thanks lad! It is so niece have you and your brother, you two are better than these two." He pointed out at the Thorston Twins.
"Yeah, you guys are better." Tuff said, having no idea that Agnar was talking about him and his sister.
Everyone, minus Joe, rolled their eyes as Agnar left them to go home while Gobber gives the key to Hiccup after he finished cleaning it.
"Here's your key." Gobber said.
Hiccup takes the Snow Wraith tooth and fits it into the keyhole before turning it. He and Snotlout were close to the Dragon Eye as they and the others waited to see what will happened, but in a few seconds, nothing was happening.
"We almost died...for that?!" Snotlout exclaims in annoyance as Hiccup picks up the Dragon Eye.
"No, there's gotta be more to it than this." Hiccup said as he fiddles it around, trying to find more answers. "It just doesn't make any sense."
Tuffnut butts in. "Welcome to my world, sister. Nothing makes sense and you got itchy teeth." He said, scratching his teeth.
Joe shook his head as he gets on Lightning and helps Gothi to get on. "You guys deal with that while we go check on Jon."
"Okay, tell him that he did a great job." Gobber said as Hiccup tries to figure out how does the Dragon Eye work.
Joe nodded as Lightning and Sapphire took off. They headed towards Gothi's hut and saw Karma sitting on top of Gothi's roof. The dragons hovered beside her as the Reaper Fury turns to them calmly.
"Karma? What are you doing here?" Joe asked.
Karma pointed her snout at the reason. They followed her gaze and saw the reason. Jon and Thunder were sleeping outside of Gothi's hut. They were tired of treating everyone's sickness and injuries. They work themselves until they passed out. But they were lucky that they were finished. The two Night Furies landed quietly on the ground as their Riders and Gothi got off them. They couldn't help but smile at the sight, finding adorable to see that.
"Guess Jon did his job." Mira whispers to them.
"Yeah, he'll make a great healer one day, don't you agree?" Joe turns to Gothi.
Gothi smiles and nodded before going in her hut to get a blanket for Jon. Joe takes it and covers it on Jon. Jon stirred in his sleep but didn't wake, they guessed that he was really tired. Mira went over to Gothi. "You don't mind if he sleeps here for the night?" She asked softly.
Gothi gave her a gentle smile and nod, allowing Jon to sleep here for the night. Mira smiles in gratitude before looking at Karma, who looks down at her from the roof.
"Watch over him okay?" She asked her softly.
Karma nodded as she watched Jon and Thunder while Joe gently pats his twin brother's shoulder. "Sweet dreams, bro." He whispers with a smile before getting up to leave.
Mira went over to Jon and kisses his forehead gently while Sapphire gently licks Thunder's head as they slept. Mira and Joe got on their dragons to go home while Karma watches Jon and Thunder sleeping.
As night came, Hiccup was still trying to unlock the Dragon Eye. But after hours of trying, Hiccup decides to just call it quits. He'll work on it tomorrow after a goodnight sleep. Toothless agrees as he gets ready for bed before he heats up his sleeping slab. Upon doing so, the fire from it was caught by the gem of the Dragon Eye, lighting enough to make it release a light from another end.
Hiccup saw this and calls Toothless over. As his dragon came to him, Hiccup picks up the Dragon Eye and inspects it before setting it down and tells Toothless to hold a low flame. Toothless did, and the light casts a stronger light onto the wall, revealing graphs of at least three different dragons and strange symbols. Hiccup was amazed to see this. He and others have made a great discovery.
"This changes everything." Hiccup said in awe.
Done! Phew! It took a while, but I finished it. Sorry for the long wait. I'm gonna make more soon, but I have to make my Moana: Dragon Adventure first.
Thanks for waiting!
