Note: Thank you all for reading my story, I greatly appreciate it.
Please leave me a Review and tell me what you guys think about the story so far.
And sorry for the late post, School kept me busy.
I have finished drawing Shimmer from this chapter, it's now posted on Tumblr and Discord.
In this chapter we will learn a bit more of Shimmers past…
And thanks to all of those who have supported me, I appreciate it allot.
Now enjoy.
Shimmer (OC)
It has been over an hour since we started… and it was fun, but tiring… I have never breathed this much fire before,
We discovered that I had a shot limit…
A shot limit of 6 for amber,
6 Plasma blasts
8 electrical charges
4 acid blasts
12 mist balls
10 smoke balls
10 for my natural White flame
and 6 of any other fire types I have left…
And to add up to everything, I noticed that the cold also affect my fire breathing, causing it to get weaker, where high heat makes it stronger and hotter.
But the best part was when Snotlout made a very bad comment under his breath which were just loud enough for dragons to hear, since the surrounding dragons got a bit agitated at him, so I coated him in amber, which ended up as the joke of the day among the dragons.
And now here I am, waiting for Fishlegs to finish writing everything down that he has learned.
"Uh, Fishlegs… now that we are done playing with fire… what is next?"
"Well, what else do you have to show… like why you are called a Shimmerscale?"
Both me and Valka looked at each other giving each other a slight grin.
"Well I'm not the one who came up with it, Valka did…" I looked back to Fishlegs, "My scales shimmer when in contact with fire or dragon fire".
"Oh wow". Fishlegs said.
"How long do you and my mother know each other?", hiccup looked over to Valka, Valka answered…
"Oh how long, maybe two months before we found each other…"
"Wow"
"yeah as with my luck, I was absent during that reunion…"
"Shimmer, it was because of you, that we were able to meet each other… I was out looking for you".
I suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
She were looking for me… and I were out being captured by trappers…
Valka noticed my change of mood.
"And if it were not for you, I would not have met my son again… "
She fell silent, as did everyone else who were listening.
I gave Toothless a questioning look…
"toothless? What…"
"It was the previous… Hiccup's Sire… he's… dead…"
Toothless looked down.
I looked up at hiccup to see the sorrow in his eyes.
"I'm so sorry, Your father…" I felt my throat tighten up "He was the Chief…"
I remembered the mention of his name…
What was his name…
Stoick… that's…
"Stoick the Vast…? How…?"
I knew him from some ware… but where?
Everyone looked up at me.
Hiccup first to respond
"Wait… you knew him?"
"I… I know not… Maybe… I can't… remember… I…"
Suddenly I remembered something… Something in my book… in the back.
"Fishlegs. Give me my book quickly…"
"Uh yeah sure?" He stuck his hand in a pouch around his waist and pulled out my Dragon scale covered book, "There you go…'
I immediately went to the back of the book, looking for anything… anything at all.
I saw nothing until the tip of my claw caught something, opening a small hidden fold, there were two pieces of folded up paper. I opened up the one to uncover a map that I laid down on the floor of the arena, and opened the second paper, which is a note…
"What language is that…" I heard Fishlegs say
I looked at the strange symbols, it looks familiar, but I know not what it says…
"I don't know; it looks familiar but… I don't know…"
I placed the note down next to the map…
Suddenly a wave of images and memories flash through my head, sending shards of pain though my head,
I was now suddenly standing on the deck of a ship, I'm now in my human body, we're sailing North-west towards a Strange island in search of something of legends…
Next thing I saw was a sudden blur of motion.
Someone on deck screamed "Dragon attack", I heard multiple screams and the sound of Dragons amid the sounds of the storm around us.
I were knocked down by something big, I could not see what it was, my vision blurred for a few seconds, and a sudden sharp pain in my leg, racing up my leg to the rest of my body… I blacked out…
I woke up on the beach, the same beach from where I were rescued, and also where the wreckage is, it was dark, still in the peak of night, I looked up to see the dragon… The Shimmerscale…
I got to my feet and felt the same pain in my left leg… I looked down and saw a narrow bite mark, it was faintly glowing a light blue color.
I looked back up to the Dragon, it was not more than ten paces from me, it was looking at me in a strange way… Why I know not,
It started coming closer and closer until it was in reach, then suddenly it opened up its wings and…
Next thing I remember was that I were running now… running through the woods, I came upon a cliff overlooking the ocean, waves hitting hard against the rocks below, I heard a growl behind me…
I looked around to see the same dragon standing there, from being a dragon myself, I could tell that it was more curious than malicious…
At that moment it opened its maw to show its long narrow teeth, it blew a yellowish green smoke like substance right at me, it struck me but did nothing at first… then a sudden pain shot up from my leg and started to advance up my leg to the rest of my body… I felt the pain increase dramatically… I heard my bones break and change, the pain vanished, I at that point could feel nothing, not even the stones underneath my feet or the wind from the ocean… Nothing… even my senses were gone.
The dragon only looked at me, almost longingly…
Suddenly I felt the pain return, the sudden pain felt like molten lava being poured all along my back and limbs… My senses returned in full, stronger than ever.
And then I blacked out…
I snapped back to reality laying on the floor of the arena, panting from the flow of memories…
I noticed Valka crouched next to me with a hand on my neck, and Storm were also there, looking worried, I ignored them, I felt no pain other than my intense headache.
…I remember a bit more now, my ship was attacked by Dragons, possibly lead by that Shimmerscale, the same one who changed me into one… And I now know where he is… My crew were looking for him… we did not find him… he found us… they were all killed… except for me… why… I'm the only one…
I noticed that I were talking to myself out loud
I looked up to see worry and shock… and one I were expecting, wonder.
Well they are going to find out sooner or later, just as well tell them now…
"I know what you all are asking… No, I was not born a dragon… I was human once…" I looked down to my paws "Another changed me… into… this".
"My fleet were searching for a dragon, Why… I know not, but…"
"It found you instead…" Hiccup said
"Yes" I looked up to meet their eyes, "I… was the only one to survive…"
I looked down to the map, and saw an island marked in red ink… the destination of the… my fleet….
"why were we sent to find you…"
I looked around and noticed that the sun is low on the horizon.
"I need rest, it has been a long day, and I… I have some things to think about…"
I immediately took flight and went for the spot next to Valka's hut to sleep
Right before I went to lay down to sleep I blew a bit of fire on the ground
I had enough fire left to make a big enough area for the three of us.
We were fast asleep in a matter of seconds…
I was again as usual awaken early by none other than Silverwing.
"Gerr up!"
"Uh… Not now, too early… lemma sleep…"
I suddenly got a sharp pinch on my tail.
"Ow… okay… okay I'm up… no biting please…"
I looked over to my tail to see that it was Storm who bit my tail,
"Why…? Why would you do that…?"
"To wake you up, why else". She gave me a playful face.
"Seriously? Now?"
She only gave me a deep throaty purr,
Silverwing followed with a softer coo.
Females…
I rolled my eyes and noticed that its already late morning.
"Well I'm now up, so what now…"
Suddenly a Monstrous Nightmare swooped overhead, it was that Snotlout's Nightmare with some paint marks on him.
"What in Thor's name is going on now?"
I took flight and followed the Nightmare to some sort of a stadium, I saw Hiccup Alongside Toothless and Valka.
I joined them,
"Uh what is going on now? And what's up with all the paint…?"
I indicated to the paint marks on some of the other dragon riders,
"Oh, Just a little dragon racing, just some fun…"
"Dragon racing? What…?" I noticed a bunch of sheep with targets painted on them, "And the sheep?"
"Each sheep counts a point, but a black sheep counts ten points, we catch the sheep and drop them in those nets over there…" he pointed a finger at some nets and a latch opening up to the nets with dragon heads painted on the latches.
"oh sounds fun… I guess"
"Yeah it is", "You can join in if you like…"
"Well why not, I don't think I have anything else to do". "When will it start?"
"Now"
"Wait, what, now… okay…" I looked around "Uh anything I should know…"
"Just get more points than the others, oh and I forgot to tell you that Fishlegs will not be Joining us today, so you can take his place".
"The Gronckle one?"
"Uh yes"
"Wait I'm the only one without a rider".
Hiccup suddenly looked nervous for a moment but recovered.
"Uh… I…"
Valka chuckled at that moment
"Oh I guess I can be your rider if it's okay with you…?
"I'm okay with that… but what about Cloudjumper?"
"Oh he's out doing whatever he's doing, but he won't have much of a problem".
I chuckled as did Valka.
"Okay now that's all settled, it will be fun to have you joining the race for a chance".
"oh I might as well give it a try".
I heard a Nadder approach from behind and saw Astrid and her Nadder land next to me.
"Hey Hiccup, are you ready".
"Yes we are ready"
"wait We? Are you joining?"
Both me and Valka answered simultaneously,
"YES"
Astrid looked surprised, but quickly replaced the surprise with a smile.
"Oh this is going to be interesting"
I smiled back
"Yes indeed"
A Few minute late we all were standing ready to take off after a short explanation of how the 'game' work.
A stocky Viking with a interchangeable arm and a peg leg, named Gobber was about to start the race.
As soon as he said go… we were off.
The slight weight of Valka on my back did not slow me down much. But there was a difference.
I saw a sheep down below among the houses,
I were not the only one who spotted it, Snotlout swooped down on and his dragon Hookfang caught it in its claws.
Suddenly I saw the Twins come and snatch it from Hookfang,
the two started cheering.
"Wait… I can take the sheep from them…?"
"I guess so".
"Oh this is going to be fun!"
I chased after the Twins, just to see them throw the sheep in their net.
"Well of the next one, I guess"
Even Astrid and Hiccup were up on their game, scoring two sheep each in the first 5 rounds
And the Twins one.
I had to make a score now, me and Valka came up with a plan to go for the black sheep, even if we have to take it from the others.
but we have to test out the plan first.
I saw the twins swoop down for a sheep, both catching it at the same time, and to my surprise, started fighting over it.
"Those two Knuckleheads are so going to regret it".
I heard Valka give a slight chuckle
I swooped down and underneath the Zippleback until I'm directly underneath the Zippleback's heads and the twins who were still fighting over the sheep, screaming something about stealing…
I thrusted myself up slightly at the same time when Valka jumped giving her an extra boost.
The twins stopped fighting over the sheep, probably out of surprise.
I caught Valka and dropped away from the Twins
I saw the crowd of people and the nets…
And I heard the something fast approach from behind, I immediately dived down, just in time to avoid Toothless from snatching the Sheep.
"Valka! Hold on!"
I Started doing a spin to avoid Astrid also who came from below just as Hiccup came from above.
We scored as soon as we passed the nets, because Valka threw the sheep in as we passed.
I heard Gobber announce;
The Twins count at 1
Astrid and hiccup each 2
Valka and Shimmer 1
And Snotlout trail with none.
And this went on for long,
Snotlout finally got a few sheep
the Twins got two more and as it is with Hiccup and Astrid
they were in the lead
Luckily for me and Valka we were right behind them
and it was almost time for the black sheep.
We were now chasing Hiccup who have a sheep, his 9th sheep
Unfortunately, he got that point.
"Get ready"
Gobber announced;
The twins at 3 points
Snotlout at 4
Valka and Shimmer at 6
Astrid at 8
And Hiccup at 9 points
The crowd went up in cheer, again.
Suddenly a loud horn was sounded.
"Great, the black sheep, let's go get it"
"Hurry Shimmer!"
"Hold on"
I increased my speed, and fly a tingle at the base of my wings where it connects above my back legs.
I ignored it for now, but felt myself getting faster, and Valka tightening her grip.
I saw the Black sheep being shot up into the air, and being caught by toothless…
"Oh no… not this time…" the tingling returned and disappear.
"Valka! Get ready!"
She braced herself as I closed the gap between me and Toothless,
Just as we were close enough to Hiccup and Toothless, Valka jumped onto Toothless and I dove below him and grabbed the sheep, and at the same time shifted my scales to be invisible.
Valka jumped onto my back and I dove down to gain a bit of speed.
I heard the crowd cheer at that moment, which alerted me to how close we are to the finish.
I shifted my scales again to be the same blue and brown color as Valka's armor.
Suddenly I saw Snotlout come up in front of me to block us from winning, I shot a blueish grey ball of smoke at him creating a big smoke cloud, I zipped underneath the cloud and also were in time to drop the sheep into my net before Astrid could take the sheep.
"Yeah! We did it!"
I hear Gobber over the Cheering;
Valka and Shimmer got 16, We got our Victors!
I landed near Gobber a moment later.
"Ah! Well done, ye' two make up a pretty good a team hey"
"Oh thank you Gobber, But Shimmer came up with most of the plans…"
"You Know that's not true, you also played a big role in this".
"Hehehe, like I sed, ye' two make a good team".
The Hiccup and the rest of the Riders arrived at that moment.
Hiccup was the first to speak.
"Wow that's some pretty good flying, you two are amazing!"
"Thanks", Valka responded
I only nodded
Both Valka and Hiccup's gaze shifted to my wings…
I followed their gaze to see what they were looking at,
my wings now had an elongated growth along my side ending at the start of my tail.
That explains the tingling and sudden increase in speed, my wings grew a bit…
"Well… that's new…", then I looked to my tail to see pointier looking scales, almost as like a bunch of little spines or spikes.
"Have you ever seen any other dragon grow extensions to their wings before…", Valka interrupt.
"No Hiccup, I have not… he is the only one…" Valka looked up at me, "Shimmer did you…"
"No I did not, I Did not know about this", I pointed to my new wing extensions, "This is all new to me… but maybe… the one who changed me…" I stopped myself.
"Maybe, this other dragon might be able to…" Hiccup cut himself off from what he was about to say.
There were a moment of silence,
Astrid broke the silence first.
"With your new wing… growth, how about a normal race to that one remaining statue out there". She pointed to a big old statue far of in the distance.
"ow is that a challenge?" I said with a bit of humor.
"Valka, you in?"
"Oh no, Cloudjumper will be waiting for me by now, I should be off… good luck", She turned around and walked off to her house.
"Okay then, just the five of us…"
Hiccup were interrupted by Storm who decided to announce herself.
"Did someone say, Race?"
"Yes, you joining"
"Oh yes I am!"
"that means the six of us then".
"Where is Silverwing?"
"With the Split wing named Cloud-jumper".
"Good, he is a big softy".
Both Hiccup and Astrid mounted,
"Get ready", Astrid announced.
Both me and Storm took our positions,
"GO!" Astrid screamed
We were off with Hiccup in the lead.
I heard Astrid talking to the Nadder, "come on Stormfly, lets show them who's the best".
Stormfly suddenly took the lead.
"Oh is this how it's going to be…"
I started to increase my speed like I did during Dragon racing, quickly gaining distance
We were nearing the stone statue as I overtook Hiccup and Toothless.
I saw Stormfly take a sharp turn around the statue just as I got to the statue, I also took a very sharp turn.
As I sped away from the statue I saw Storm gaining a bit with Toothless right behind me.
I tucked my arms and legs in tighter and angled my wings a bit to again gain more speed causing me to quickly gain on Stormfly just as Toothless started to do the same.
Both me and Toothless shot past Stormfly and a surprised Astrid,
We were almost neck to neck at this point, I were only slightly ahead of them, but they were going to take the lead when suddenly I felt my scales crawl a bit and I felt the urge to shoot a ball of flame in front of me… and I did, I shot a strange dark purple ball of fire… or smoke ahead which erupted into a ring of fire and smoke, I went straight through it. I felt a sudden increase of speed and a drop in resistance.
What was that…
I arrived at the End point first, I were barely able to slow down in time.
How did I do that!
Toothless landed a few seconds later, as did Storm and Stormfly both at the same time.
"Well that just happened…"
"You… how did you do that…? And what's that thing with your scales?"
I looked at myself at Hiccup's mention of my scales, it was now shimmering a mix of black, white, blue and purple.
"Oh… that looks nice…"
"I wondered why my mother called you a Shimmerscale… I knew that your scales change color but… Your scales actually shimmer…"
"It's actually beautiful…"
I grunted at Astrid
I changed my scales back to its normal colors.
"Now who came last?" I asked in a sarcastic tone.
Both Astrid and Storm looked at each other for a moment before answering
"It was a tie", Storm said
"Both of us", Astrid answered.
"Sand Wraiths are pretty fast",
I suddenly felt hungry from all of the flying.
"Well me and Storm will be off to get something to eat, See ya".
Both me and Storm took flight to fetch Silverwing and to get some fish.
After some food a short rest, I decided to go help out in the village where I can,
I decided to go melt all of the ice that were still left, and to afterwards help in construction of the houses.
I actually enjoyed to help out in the village, it helped me to keep my mind off of my troubles, especially that of the dragon who changed me,
how many more were changed…
I placed down a couple of logs next to a half finished house,
These Vikings are really fast builders,
I noticed Valka and Cloudjumper approaching from the dragon stables.
Hiccup was also helping out in the construction of the houses to my surprise, but he is good at building things.
Hiccup was the first to speak when Valka arrived,
"How are the dragons doing?"
"Oh most of them are making a good recovery, but I fear that some of them will not make it, and the last one… I can't seem to find what's wrong with it…"
"What's wrong? Sick dragons", I asked.
"A few dragons who got injured during Drago's attack and some others we rescued from trappers and there are a few with torn wings…".
"I'll help; I can heal them".
"What? Y…you can…? How?" Valka asked
"I have healing fire".
Both Hiccup and Valka looked at each other with confusion.
"let me show you… Where are the Injured dragons?
"In the Dragon stables, in a separate station for the sickly or injured".
"That's where I spend allot of my time these days", Valka added
Toothless suddenly spoke up. "How can your fire possibly heal wounds? I saw you melt a stone within seconds yesterday".
"Oh trust me Toothless, I have done it many times, and it does not hurt".
I showed him my Scars on my side and the lightning marks on my wing.
His eyes widened in surprise as did those of Hiccup and Valka, Cloudjumper were not paying much attention.
"Where did you get those scars?" Valka asked with worry.
"Oh just from my sudden escape from Breakneck Bog, me and my companions tried to escape a whole pack of Smokebreaths… that's where I got this scare…" I motioned to the scare on my side.
"And the scare on your wing?"
"That was from a lightning strike" I looked at the lightning veins on my wing, "me and my other two companions were flying away from the Smokebreaths when I noticed one of my companions were not behind me and Storm, I were about to turn around to go find him when… I was struck by lightning… If it were not for the Wingmaidens… I would surely have been dead".
"who was this other companion of yours?" Hiccup asked
"A Rumblehorn… He had no name, but he was always a big stubborn softy, and was always very loyal…" I paused for a moment to regain my bearing, "It have been two weeks since… The storm…"
I heard Hiccup and Valka Whisper something to each other, but I paid no attention to what they said.
I saw Toothless Sitting there listening to the whispering.
Such curiosity, I wonder what …
"…let's take him to the injured dragons… it might do him some good…" I heard from the Whispers.
I looked at Toothless who were still listening intently to the two.
I'm getting a bit annoyed at this.
"Oh just get done with it, you two know I'm still here!"
Both jumped in surprise,
Toothless gave a gurgling laugh at the two
And Cloudjumper only grinned.
"Oh… my apologies…Lets go, follow me".
We followed Valka to the dragon stables, and from there to the Injured dragons,
There were a few dragons with a few scars and the sour smell of infection was heavy in the air.
I immediately went over to a young Raincutter with a large cut on his wing,
"Oh you poor thing… here let me help you"
I gently took hold of his injured wing and quickly released a small jet of healing flame on the cut, sealing it up, leaving only a scare behind.
The Raincutter were shocked and a bit surprised but showed its gratitude.
I moved on to the next dragon, A Hobblegrunt with an infected bite-mark on its tail, which required to be burned clean,
I quickly paralyzed it with a small stream of mist and then burned away the infection before healing it with my healing flame.
There were a few dragons that were beyond help and others that I could only heal partly because of internal damage, but I were able to help most.
When I finally caught up with Valka and Hiccup, I immediately caught a familiar scent, that of a Rumblehorn…
I looked past them and saw the same Rumblehorn I knew and traveled with since our escape from the trappers.
"Can it be… After two weeks…"
The Rumblehorn did not react.
I looked at Valka who were staring at me with sorrow.
"Help him…" she whispered.
I nodded.
"Hey there big guy", no response
He was only lying there, with his eyes closed, if not for his slow breathing, I would have thought that he was a statue.
"Hey wake up, Don't let the Smokebreaths get to you", he stirred at the mention of Smokebreaths but other than that, nothing.
"Oh don't force me to make you listen, or should I get Storm to jump on you…"
He suddenly stirred and sniffed a bit, then his eyes shot open and started to look around.
"There you go…"
"Shimmer?"
"The one and only…"
I jumped out of his way as he suddenly got up and charged towards me,
"Hey… Please don't kill me".
He stopped in front of me with clear joy and sorrow in his eyes.
"You… alive after… I thought that you and…"
"Hey, we are all still alive, well barely though… but alive".
And to my surprise he did something he never did before… he bowed.
"Oh… What's that for… did you hit your head or…"
He got up and snorted at me, but did not answer.
I saw a small infected cut on his leg as he was limping around me to see the others.
"Let me heal that for you; before it gets worse".
He stopped and looked down to the cut for a moment
"I'm not taking a no for an answer"
He relented without protest, but looked confused.
I sprayed a small stream of paralyzing mist to prevent any pain and then I burned it clean, but took longer because of his fireproof scales, then I healed it with my healing fire.
He inspected it for a moment
"thanks…?"
"Good to know that he was not seriously sick, only mourning"
The Rumblehorn looked at Valka and then at Hiccup.
"Who's the humans?"
"This is Valka, the human who rescued me and who lived in the Ice nest alongside the other Kin", I pointed my tail to Valka.
He then looked at Hiccup and started sniffing him.
"Is this the rider of the Night wing?"
I saw Toothless ears prick up at the mention of Night wing
"Yes, he is my rider, and also the Alpha of this human nest, and I'm the Alpha of the Kin on this island".
"Alpha… My apologies".
"Oh he's just a little grumpy at times, but he is a softy".
Toothless only snorted and looked away.
"Let me just quickly tend to the last few Kin then we can be off to see Storm and someone else…"
He only nodded
And I went back to the Sick and injured.
It was later in the day when Both me and Silverwing got a chance to be alone for a few minutes.
We flew into the woods away from the village at the other side of the mountain, I decided to take the time to teach Silverwing what I can, even though she is a fast learner, she tend to be stubborn at times.
I saw something in the woods down below that looks like a cove of some sort. I went down to it.
The Cove is large and open with high rock walls and a large lake in the center of the cove, a very peaceful place.
"okay… let's begin."
She cocked her head at me
"Yesss?"
"Time to teach you a few things…" I looked at her eyes and noticed that it's starting to get a bit clearer, "What's this…?"
I waved my tail in front of her but slowly at first. Her eyes started to follow my tail when it was right in front of her… and seemed to lose sight of it when it was more than a meter from her.
"Can you see me…?"
"Yee"
"Hmm"
Okay let's test this out…
I changed myself invisible to see if she notice,
and as soon as I'm invisible she stiffened a bit and started to look around.
She suddenly stood still and went quiet as if listening.
So she is not completely blind anymore… How old is she actually…?
I felt something in my head, something similar to that of when I mentally talk to humans, as if to do the same again…
I looked around but saw no one around, it was just me and… Silverwing…
"Wait… can I…?"
I have never tried to talk to another dragon mentally before… never needed to.
I went ahead… focusing on the strange mind of another dragon… it is so much different from that of a human,
Humans is a bit more in… order… closed off, but a not here…
I'm feeling, smelling, hearing, and seeing everything, I immediately tried to block every thought and feeling from passing our link.
But I still saw what she saw, her vision was very foggy but we… she could still see the dirt a few feet in front of us… her…
I tried to focus again…
"Silverwing?"
"Sire?"
I were immediately shocked to hear her say that… word...
to hear her call me 'Sire'.
I immediately showed myself to her again making my scales go back to its normal color.
But our link was still there.
I felt her joy when she saw me again… it felt so strange…
I broke the link before my own surprise could reach her.
This is all too strange to me…
Life will never be the same…
We returned back to Berk before sundown, and I were now assaulted by a very playful Storm.
And were met by an over exited Fishlegs who were holding my book.
"Ah Fishlegs, what brings you so… exited here?"
"Only that I were able to find out in what language this note was written in, and I were able to translate it".
"Yes… And what did it say?"
He gave an exited smile
"It revealed the location, the location of the dragon you were looking for…"
"Where!"
Fishlegs placed a finger on an island on my map which was open on the ground alongside one of Hiccup's maps
I froze when I saw it… I recognize the island, it's on Foreverwing island…
"Fishlegs…? Have you told anyone else about this?"
"Only you and Valka… who told me to tell you…"
"Why did you tell her?"
"I… to know if she know that island".
"And?"
He nodded.
"Oh Gods above…"
He looked at me with worry
"Fishlegs… Do not tell anyone else about this…"
"Why…"
"That island… do you know what lives there? Did Valka say…"
"No Valka did not say, What's on that island?"
"A…Foreverwing…"
Fishlegs first looked puzzled before his eyes went wide as he seemed to recognize the name…
"Wait… The Foreverwing… but that's a…"
"Legend? No… its real, and its big…"
"Fishlegs! Do not tell a word to anyone about this… I will coat you in Amber if you do".
"Uh yes… sure…"
"Now let's forget about this for now…"
Fishlegs quickly made his way to his house leaving me, Storm and Silverwing alone…
Early the next day, even before Silverwing were awake I woke from my half sleep,
I were not able to sleep, my thoughts were troubling me too much, as if I were being called, it was strange and also somewhat unnaturally familiar… like something in-between…
and it were calling me East… to that island…
Oh what's at that island… and why…
I felt something… an ache in the back of my head.
The ache dimmed but still remains there… almost… calling…for help?
"I should probably get ready for the trip…"
I headed over to Valka's door and knocked.
I heard a faint sound of footsteps afterwards
the door opened to reveal Valka standing there with fixed eyes
"Shimmer? Why are you up so early? Is there something wrong?"
"I'm sorry to wake you… there is nothing wrong… technically not though?" I looked around to make sure no one were around, "Fishlegs told you about It, About the island?"
She nodded.
"I'm going there soon… to find out what's…"
She sounded alarmed suddenly "Alone?"
"No, that's why I'm here, to ask if you might be interested in joining me…"
"Hmm, it is a far flight, and a dangerous one too… who else will be coming along?"
"As few as possible"," Only you, Storm and Cloudjumper…"
"And what about Hiccup and or…"
"They have more things to do here and some of the others will only slow us down".
"Fair point", "We should get ready, don't want to leave here too late".
"Okay I'll get my book and map from Fishlegs and get some food before departure…" Valka was already gone… "And I'm talking to myself… great"
I woke Storm of my plans and went over to get my book from Fishlegs.
I'm coming soon… whatever's out there… waiting?
And there you have it
End of Chapter 8
I hope everyone have enjoyed it
The next chapter will be the chapter some were waiting for.
Shimmer will not be flying his life flight alone for long,
And how long before then…
Wait and see…
I will post a drawing soon to give a special hint to what or who we will meet in Ch9
And as always please leave a Review and tell me what you all think
and have a great day
