Shimmer (OC)
We both were racing back to camp as fast as our feet allowed us to, we did not dare flying with such strong headwinds from the storm, "We are almost back at the cave",
I started to get calm when I heard her say those words,
But when we got to our camp, it was starting to get covered in a thick gray fog from a unknown source.
"Where are all of the fog coming from…."
I saw a glimmer of a wing among the fog,
It was grey in color, I looked around, looking for something that could tell me what's transpiring around me,
Then I saw it, a small gray dragon, standing right in front of me,
A Smothering Smokebreath dragon, and not just one,
I saw the Rumblehorn inside the cave, but there are a few Smokebreath's between me and him,
I went and released a bolt of electricity among the smokebreaths, stunning them long enough to get past them, I came upon the Rumblehorn charging his way out of the cave, stopping right in front of me.
More Smokebreaths came from the north east, possibly from the nest,
Why are they out in the storm attacking us?
We have to get off of this island, or risk being killed.
Two Smokebreaths came and tried to attack me from behind,
I struck one along the side with my tail, causing him to flee but the other managed to byte me on the leg, before I kicked him on the lower jaw causing it to retreat, another came and gave me a long scratch on my left side across my ribs,
I blasted a bolt of lightning at my attacker, leaving it motionless,
We immediately took flight after that and went west,
I flew directly into the storm staying high above the waves, and barely below the clouds.
It started to rain hard, it was a freezing cold rain, it started to feel like hot needles along the back of my neck down to my tail, even my wings feel on fire.
Storm was right behind me,
But the Rumblehorn was no ware to be seen,
I was about to go back and look for him when…..
Suddenly a blinding pure white light flashed right in front of me and a shearing hot pain running along my wing to the rest of my body, I then knew, I were struck by lightning,
And now I'm falling to a watery grave, I struck the water,
moments before I lost consciousness I loosened a very bright blue ball of fire into the air that exploded into a large mass of blue white light, next thing I saw was a silvery gray wing, and a rope net, pulling me from the water, I have wrapped my wings around myself, but I do not recall doing so….
I looked back to barely see a sand wraith flying nearby…..
Then it all went dark…
Hiccup (POV)
It was early afternoon when Bucket started to complain about a tightening bucket,
and a bit later before a storm started showing further North- East,
We immediately started to prepare for the fast approaching storm
It was only later in the afternoon, when we realized that the storm is not just approaching from the North- East but also from the North.
I'm starting to worry, and Astrid knows it, we got terror mail the previous day from the Wingmaidens, saying that they will be coming to visit Berk soon.
We do not know when they are planning on arriving or why they are coming to visit, but now with the approaching storm….
Astrid snapped me out of my thoughts, reminding me to focus on preparing for the storm.
"Let's get all the dragons into the stables, as soon as possible, before the storm hits us",
At that, Toothless called out to all of the dragons to follow his command and go into the stables.
"Thanks bud", I patted toothless lightly on the head before heading to the great hall, him trailing close behind.
Valka (POV)
The Storm reached Berk by early dusk, it is the biggest storm to have hit Berk in years,
and at a time like this,
Cloudjumper suddenly tensed up a bit before standing up looking at the storm ahead.
"What's wrong Cloudjumper?"
I looked up at where he was looking and saw a dragon flying straight for us,
From the looks of it he seems injured, and exhausted.
It took the dragon another few minutes to land, it was a male Rumblehorn,
that looks like were in a recent fight against another dragon,
he had a few scratch wounds along his sides, it kept on looking back,
he collapsed onto the stone path with a heavy thud.
I tried to calm him but with little success
Whatever he's so worried about might still be out there.
but now, he needs help and rest. Until the storms over.
The rumble horn suddenly smelled me and then looked at me for a moment before he calmed down.
Almost as if he know me from some ware.
Shimmer (OC)
It's dark, I'm running through the woods, running from something, something was chasing me, it made a growling sound, it sounded very familiar from some ware, I were trying to run away from whatever it is that's chasing me, maybe a dragon or…
I stopped at the edge of a cliff, I could see the waves slamming against the rocks below,
I heard the dragon growl again,
I turned around to face the dragon, it had a narrow snout with a long slender body, and large wings,
it was not just any dragon…. I was looking at myself, or a dragon that looked like my dragon self, but just bigger,
At that moment it opened its maw to show its long narrow teeth, it blew a yellowish green smoke like substance right at me, and right before it made contact with me….
Suddenly I were standing on a boat sailing north some ware, I looked down to see that I'm in my human self, I saw my small bag with my book in it, I was about to take a piece of paper out of my book when sobbingly something struck the boat from beneath, and then….
I woke up from a beach, it's the beach where the shipwreck is, I'm now at a ship wreck, my shipwreck,
it was dark, looks like the sun has just set, I looked up to see more of my surroundings,
I were about to stand up when I saw a dragon's front foot come into view as I was looking down,
it was standing in front of me,
I was about to look up…. And everything went dark around me….
I woke up, some ware nice and warm, I did not want to open my eyes, fearing that it's another dream,
I stirred a bit just to get a bit more comfortable,
suddenly I felt pain, coming from my left wing and ribs,
I was forced to open my eyes because of the sudden pain,
I looked around, I were in a big cozy hut,
Where am I? What am I doing here? And what's on my….
I looked at my wing to see a splint and bandages on my wing and also some bandages along my side covering the place where I were scratched and struck by lightning.
Who would have done this?
I decide to go back to sleep, but I at that moment noticed a strange scent, it was that of a dragon, or more precisely multiple little dragons.
That surprised me a bit, but I did not want to go and explore my surroundings because I still felt tired and a little weak, I started to doze off to sleep, when suddenly I heard the clatter of dragon claws on stone and the patter of people running closer to the tent, and suddenly I felt something jump on top of me, barely missing my injured wing, I opened my eyes to see a very exited Sand wraith looking down to me.
"Hey, why did you do that, be careful", I motioned to my injured wing,
"Sorry, I'm so excited that your finally awake, we were worried sick about you",
"We?"
She only looked back at the opening to the tent, I looked up to see a group of women standing there watching us with amazement and a bit amusement in some of their faces,
I again smelled that same strange scent from earlier, that of multiple small dragons,
Baby dragons?
and also the scent of that of Human,
I could still remember the same scent from Valka,
I looked at them, Puzzled,
Who are they, and what do they want,
One of them came closer slowly, and started to speak slowly,
"Hi there, we are not going to harm you, we only want to help",
I Knew they are cautious, and did not want to startle me, and I tried not to laugh at the thought of it.
I thought back to when I spoke to the guards, through the use of my thoughts,
And decided to try to speak to them, but just slowly, in an attempt not to startle them I also tried to sound as calm as I possibly could in hope that would also help.
"Hello there".
They all froze in shock, the one who came closer, of whom I suspect to be the leader, were first to recover from what I just said,
She was the first to respond in kind,
"Hello?"
I decided to sit up to better see the strange women in front of me, two of them who were standing at the back took a step back, obviously scared for what I might do, I would not blame them, I tried to suppress a smile.
I wonder who these …... strange women are, and also where I am.
"Who are you? And where am I?" I asked, trying to sound calm
They visibly tensed again after I spoke, the lead woman was first to speak, but in a calming tone,
"I am Atali, I'm the leader of the Wingmaidens, we are not here to harm you", She held up both of her hands showing that they are empty.
"Wingmaidens",
Atali smiled.
"Yes"
I pondered what I have just heard,
Wing? What wi…
At that very moment, I felt a very sharp pain in my wing, where I were struck by the lightning,
I looked at my wing and then to by bandages,
I wonder how bad is the damage to my wing, and what happened.
As if she knew what I were about to ask, said,
"We saw you get struck by lightning and fall into the water, we thought you were a Juvenile Razorwhip, so we went ahead and rescued you from the sea, we only noticed that you were not a Razorwhip when we got back here to our island, we tried to treat your infection in your side wound but only managed to pull out a small scrap of metal, which might have been what caused you to be struck by lightning",
"None of our treatments worked on you, we are not sure why, you might be im…."
I knew what she was going to say and quickly intervened,
"Immune to most poisons and toxins, and maybe more".
They only looked at me worried.
I thought back at when Storm's leg was caught in a trap and I attempted to burn the wounds clean but instead healed it.
Maybe I can heal myself like I did with Storm.
I turned and started to pull the bandages from my wing,
I heard some of the Wingmaidens gasp in surprise at me trying to pull off the bandages.
I looked at them to see worry and shock in their faces,
I just rolled my eyes at them,
Storm only stood there looking at me with wonder.
"Ahh, a little help please".
They gave each other a quick glance before coming over to me to help get the bandages off.
I immediately smelled that strange scent on them, and quickly noticed what it was,
it was a baby Razorwhip,
I stared at the baby dragon in surprise and awe.
They finished taking the bandages off of my wing and my side.
I looked over at my scratch wound along my ribs, it looked bad, clearly infected, I bent down and burned some of it away, which hurt allot. And then I released a small torch of flames onto my wounds, sealing it,
I went over to my wing which I were grateful to see that it was not too badly injured but enough that I could not heal it completely.
After healing myself, which still surprised me a bit how I managed to do that, I looked up to see everyone looking at me with wonder and awe.
it was a unnerving feeling to be watched like that.
None of them asked how I did that, and I were grateful for that, since I myself knew not.
I noticed that most of the Wingmaidens started to leave, all except for Atali whom only looked at me and said that I should not wander around too much and to get enough sleep.
She was about to leave when I called out to her, She paused to look at me,
"Yes?"
I thought about the baby Razorwhips again,
"Why do you have baby Razorwhips with you…. On your back?"
She paused for a moment, before she answered
"We take care of them when they are babies, until they are old enough to fend for themselves, because they are blind. We carry them on our backs to….to be able to fly".
I remember that I had some information on Razorwhips in my book…..
I noticed that my bag with my book was not with me,
"Atali, do you not happen to know where my bag with my book are?"
She looked confused before saying,
"We hanged it up in the sun to dry, as for the book, its safely put away in my hut",
I was relieved to hear that it's not lost.
"May I have my book back?"
She looked even more confused for why a dragon would want a book or have any need of a book.
"Sure, I'll give y…. your book back as soon as im done with the preparations for the very important ser….", she cut herself off suddenly, as if she said more than she should, whatever it might have been.
I was about to ask her another question but she was gone already.
Well it will all have to wait, now I need a nap.
I curled back with my wings over me.
Suddenly to my utter surprise felt Storm curl up right next to me,
I looked over to her in surprise, to already see her falling asleep, I decided to ignore it for now,
and go back to my position.
We both soon fell into a deep slumber.
Atali (POV)
I walked back to my hut knowing not what to make of…. Him.
I don't know what to do about another dragon, much less a unknown species of dragon that somehow can talk to us.
We did not know that this would happen, and we can't take….. Him to Berk with the storm about
And another strange thing is that a Sand wraith has somehow bonded with him.
it is something I have never heard of, much less seen
This all complicates things.
At least he is very friendly, and has no signs of any malicious intents
And seems to be very intelligent, which is also a bit worrying because we don't know what he is capable of, and another thing is, he had a bag with a book in it, a book wrapped in fine dragons scales.
Where he got it, is worrying.
I got to my hut after a few seconds of flying,
"I wonder, why do you have a book with you, and what is inside?"
I opened the book and immediately came upon a drawing of a Deadly Nadder,
and all of its information on the next page,
This is incredible, who wrote this?
I went through the book, there were many different types of dragons in the book, many of them have little to no information on them, even the Razorwhip,
What a beautiful drawing, but little information, hmm… it makes sense.
I came upon the last few pages, it was about the Shimmerscale.
With a clear drawing of… him,
This is the dragon… the same one we rescued,
I looked at the information about this dragon, I'm curious what this dragon could do,
There were signs of a torn out paper, but the information is there on the next page that's not torn out,
The following reads…..
The Shimmerscale
Only known of my kind,
High intelligence
Very light weight and high speed
Large wingspan compared to body
Have a high fire resistance but a weakness to extreme cold
Scales shimmer when in contact with fire or any other sources of high heat
High resistance to any kind of electricity
"That explain how he were still alive from the lightning…"
Are able to change scale color to blend in with surroundings
Have the ability to mimic and use different types of dragon fire,
been able to mimic all I know of.
Have some resistance against mind control and compulsion effects
Have high poison and venom resistance,
Further information unknown
need to further test myself
"Test himself?"
That drag… He wrote all of this… how… who… he might be able to tell me,
"Hiccup need to know about this, and soon".
I turned the page and saw a loose folded piece of paper, I unfolded it and it reads…
I have been looking for anything that might help me find out where I came from
and what I'm doing this far north, and why I decided to travel here of all places
I have learned to live like the other dragons and to learn how to be a dragon
since I might stay one forever, so I have to embrace it,
"Learn how to be a dragon?", I read on…
I'm having a wonderful time now here at the sanctuary, this is now my new home
since I have a new family here who cares about me, and I owe my thanks to Valka and Cloudjumper,
and also to the king,
"He knows Valka? How… What… What King?", I read on…
If I ever find a way to become human again…
I don't know what to do then
it is wonderful to be a dragon and I have a new life now,
But I will continue my search for the answer I seek
and I'll start at the shipwreck…
I'm confused by what I have read,
What is he talking about becoming human again? And searching for what answer?
This doesn't make any sense…
"Lady Atali?"
I looked up to see Nadia standing there at the entrance,
"Yes?"
"We are ready to release them, Atali",
"Okay I'll be right there",
At that, she walked away,
I went through the last few pages seeing only a few loose pieces of papers with information of dragons, and at the back of the book were two folded maps, one map looked like one Hiccup used more than a year ago, and the other were unfamiliar, I decided to leave the maps in the book,
I should get going, time to release the grown Razorwhip babies…
" I should ask him later about his book". Now I have to tend to my duties.
Shimmer (OC)
I woke up after only a few minutes of sleep, I could not sleep anymore,
My curiosity got the better of me, I got up carefully, trying not to wake Storm up,
I went outside to see what's going on outside, there were a few Wingmaidens gathered in a clear open area, each holding a baby Razorwhip, I saw Atali also standing there saying something, they were too far away for me to hear them, I decided to get closer,
I was about to take flight when I felt a bit of pain in my wing, I decided to rather walk,
I were almost in the clearing when they suddenly let go of the Razorwhips and they all flew away,
The Wingmaidens only looked up with a bit of sorrow in their eyes.
Atali only noticed me when I was standing a few feet away from her, I looked up to where the Razorwhips went.
I wonder where they are going,
"Hi there… um… "
"You can call me Shimmer, please",
"Ok course",
"Why did you let them go?"
She was quiet for a moment, as if she were unsure of something,
"I would have liked to meet them, I like younglings",
She looked at me quickly before answering,
"ahh, we released them back into the wild because they were ready and able to defend themselves",
"From the males I'll guess, Right?"
"Yes, the male Razorwhips, how did you know?"
"I can tell that you all are a bit tense around me, and I have not sensed any males of any kind Scent yet',
"Why so?",
She took a moment to answer
"We do not allow any males to stay on Wingmaiden island, for there and the hatchlings safety",
"That is… not a bad idea… I guess".
She just chuckled at what I have said,
"Well what are you going to do with the Razorwhips released and all…"
"Well we are going to prepare for the next hatchlings, for them to… bond with the other Wingmaidens, and also tend to another rescued Baby Razorwhip whom we found injured and unable to fly because of the injury, luckily it's only a small flesh wound".
"Hmm… I can maybe help with the injured baby Razorwhip, if it's okay with you"
She looked at me concerned
"I don't know if you can help with… "
I knew where she was going and lifted my left wing to expose my side and there where I previously were injured.
"I can help heal".
"O alright, I forgot… Thanks for the offer… Follow me".
She led me to another hut where the baby Razorwhip were being treated.
It had a scratch mark along its right wing that started from its back and ended a few inches from the middle of the wing.
I went over and saw the baby starting to pull its wing in a bit.
"Hold is wing open please".
She went over and held the Razorwhips wing in place.
Like last time with my own wing, I blew a small torrent of healing fire
it slowly but surely healed the wound on the Razorwhips wing, leaving only a small mark behind.
"Incredible".
I only nodded in response.
I suddenly heard an odd rumbling noise and a gnawing at my stomach,
"ah, you might be hungry, after not eating for so long".
I only nodded and followed her outside,
"I have a few questions for you, after the bonding is over, but now it has to wait, and I suspect you might have a few questions of your own, hmm?"
"um, Yes, off course".
"Now go wake your friend, she might be hungry too".
I nodded and ran back to storm.
Now There you have it.
