From being the home to an unknown tribe to becoming the outpost of Draconia, the heart of the Dragon's Edge comes from the knowledge and mystery surrounding the dark ravines of history around the Dragon's Eye. This Island does not and never fails to train a Rider, neither fails to train a Dragon for this is more than what the others call the "Race to the Edge"

This... is the Dragon's Edge. It's remote, dangerous and it's been home to not only the Knights and Riders of Draconia; but also to the home of the many wild native Dragons who reside and call it their own paradise. In the northeast and hidden from all who oppose Draconia's sight, including Berk and the Hooligans Tribe; the Dragon's Edge was kept concealed by Raedwit's powerful Illusions so that no one may set foot, see or even touch the land as it appears to be nowhere in sight. But it is not too far from Valka's Sanctuary. If any threat was to come this way, the ever so present flock of Night Terrors and the Thunder Ear would alert to the incoming Dragon Hunters, Flyers and all who stand before them. No one is safe from the defensive measures taken by Drayko, who founded this Island long ago during the time of his Younger Chronicles
The outpost known as the Dragon's Edge was in a similar shape to that of the Dragon Rookery. Covered with moderate density of forests with numerous cliffs and surrounded by shallow lagoons. Central mountain peak covered in ice and now, with an dormant to active volcano always being kept safe by the Eruptodon which also served as the new hatchlings birth ground in case the old one dies of whatever comes first. Each of the Knights have their own buildings which are connect by rope bridges, ziplines and planks. Drayko's Hut is inspired by Toothless with an built in Blacksmith Forge and sporting many contraptions on the roof including a windmill. Inside is nearly identical to his old house back then when Draconia was young and growing into what it is today. He and Toothless sleep on a loft, accessed by a great log with steps carved out of it. The lower floor has different Tailfins for Toothless on the wall. There's also a table with chairs, an large chest and many crates with barrels for storage. Maria's was more of a heavily armed fortress with a ballista on her roof, an weapon hanger and watchtower is also present
Raedwit's Hut is more based around dark Gothic scenery found in the Hammer Horror films, but no more designed after his own mysterious and enigmatic appearance than the feeling of his home from where he grew up in. It was both orderly and insanely impractical with a large pit for him to test his Illusions. Fishlegs' Hut was more silent and secluded, overlooking the seas as there was an large pond surrounded by rocks for him and Meatlug to sit on and read. Inside was an fireplace and many Dragon inspired figurines on the shelves. Raijah's has an crack to raise and lower his Hut, even sporting an water tank in case Hookfang might set it on fire. The rest was all based on their own way with Bladehead's being more of an Forge and Arson's overlooking the sea
The center had the Eye of the Dragon's Edge that all huts were connect to for meetings, serving it's purpose like the Main Hall of Draconia with a stone lookout tower beside it and giant telescope to spot anything over the horizon. It also connects to a short cavern that also leads outside. The Stables were beautiful and three story with holes to let light through, creating a unique atmosphere unlike Berk; they were met to hold all the Knight's Dragons and an few more captive ones, finally It can also be used as a prison for several people. The Arena was giant and featured a closing dome to contain wild Dragons, the caverns from the coastline lead through the ground up to a crack in the arena floor and it's always boarded up when not needed as it's meant to be alternate entrance. The Lookout Towers were tall poles with white canopies on top to dot the Island, especially near the living areas, meanwhile there are also many Hideouts meant to serve for those who are attending the School of Dragons and those who wish to join Draconia. Finally there was the "Awesome Knight Cave Club Northeast" that was decorated with barrels, crates as well as other odds and ends including an stuffed Buffalo. It was made sure that the Dragon Eye was kept hidden so no one will be able to find it
The Knights flew above the Dragon's Edge and landed down at the Training Camp within the Island itself. The Encampment of the Edge was in a large square of sharpened palisades, which were wooden fences of stakes implanted into the ground. There were patrol tents located on each row and sentry towers where Pendulum Guards stood watch with banners of the Knight's Main Dragons as well as flags sporting the Draconia Crest that flowed through the wind proudly. There were automation dummies for combat, targets for projectiles, sparring grounds for unarmed combat and even obstacle courses to battle Hunters and other such threats. Jacqueline took a tour around and admired the scenery of the entire island as the Volcano reminded her of Caldera Cay as she was told about the Island thanks to the Knights, of course that was when Drayko told her that the New Riders were not expecting her to be present at the Dragon's Edge; telling her that she'll need to wait until he calls her over
"Well I sure hope I can be a entertaining guest here at this Encampment" She told Drayko before heading into the tent, awaiting for her cue while the former went to speak with the General inside a different tent
All of the New Riders to be trained including the Unidentified Nadder Rider took a look around at their surroundings and wondered if this was going to be like hell for them. The other Knights all saw their expressions and translated them as unsure, unconfident about themselves, all the usual first time experience that everyone goes through when going into the fields of war for the first time. The other New Riders consisted of six which there was one with a Quaken, a Grapple Grounder, a new species called an Chimeragon, a Firefang and a Blubberwing
The Chimeragon was a medium sized Dragon with four limbs with an small head and long snout. It sported straight and thick horns on the top of it's head which are orientated towards the back on the top of it's head. Sporting two large ear appendages like a Night Fury and four other small ones. It's body and tail were short, but covered in big plates like an armadillo. It had pair of large wings with feather like scales and sharp edges, sporting stubby legs with four round claws on each. It was a playful Dragon as it liked sticking it's tongue out of it's mouth
The tension increased when the Nadder Ride was caught in the middle of a fist fight that ended up having Arrowglider fire it's spikes at the attacker, who was practicing unarmed combat. This resulted in a chain of events that had the entire encampment of New Riders to go after the victim's ass, causing chaos among by their own doing as they weren't really fighting threats against the Dragons; but were rather fighting themselves, acting like children on a playground. This metaphorical situation at hand did not stop the Pendulum Guards from being involved as the fight also spilled out a hot mess of Tetrazini onto the ground, and no one knows no fury like seeing the favorite meal of the Pendulum Guards be spilled out from the cooking cauldron; this action alone had angered them and forced them to step in. "Cease Hostility!" They all activated their double bladed scythes and scared them into cleaning up the mess they made until Drayko would determine the punishment, which most of them continued on fighting regardless
Drayko was speaking to General "Scorpio" because of his most unhesitating ways of handling situations when the time calls for the use of violence and going into every conflict just to solve it in the end, Drayko had served alongside him many times and the two were along with Raedwit, Fishlegs and Bladehead were like brothers. They were inside of an tent with an map of Mierveia Vde Rallie where the White King was guarding Valka's Sanctuary, or so they thought as many of the Dragons were relocated there to fool Drago Bludvist into thinking that the one there is the real one where Valka lives at; however there was also an innocent village there
General Scorpio wore an black, red and golden chestplate with bracers and Gothic looking shoulder guards in the same color palette (A/N: It was supposed to be an Nightingale Chestplate) with black leather pants and wore greaves, gauntlets and boots of the same color palette. He wore an ancient Mongolian Helmet with an face shield and was armed with an Sword that happened to be a fusion of Viggo Grimborn's split blade sword and Inferno, with the difference being that he was well into the Scorpion theme. Without the helmet on, he had the similar hairstyle as Kit Harrington's Jon Snow and an black mustache with an goatee. His mask was black on the left side and metallic silver on the right with the crest of his Triple Styke on his right cheek like all Dragon Riders have. His Shield was the same but his crossbow function shot out sharp and deadly serrated knife blades. His black and silver Triple Stryke was named "Eclipser" Finally, he wore an wolf headdress that was black and silver in which it's paws were connected to an chain, the body acted like an cape and the head acted like an hood
"Bludvist's Army have attacked Caldera Cay and are now attempting to strike what he thinks is Valka's Sanctuary. Me and her will position our forces here in order to ambush the Hunters, we'll need to evacuate the Village if there's going to be a bloodbath tonight and there will be because Drago does not fuck around" He pushes 5 miniature versions of the crest towards the Sanctuary. "When he plans to murder an innocent villager, that's when we strike our enemy" He pushes 3 miniature versions of the Dragon Hunters crest towards the Village
The crest that was used appeared to depict an M. Nightmare's head being stabbed with an sword through the middle. Other designs include an similar Dragon's head shot by arrows, catapulted rocks around it and the first crest on a horizontal angle. The Main Crest in reality was the three others forming an triangle pointing downwards with the Hunters Crest in the middle, looking an Bewilderbeast's Skull and an uppercutting fist with torn, bloody wings with bones showing itself through the ripped flesh. This was a symbol of Bludvist's Army united with the Hunters, Trappers, Flyers, Divers and Marauders
"If we do not respond within the time that the New Riders are prepared for battle and the Arcanas have been found, Eclipser will be sent to alert you of what happened. After all, I have not forgotten that you gave him to me as a gift after we trained him together" Drayko nodded as Jacqueline wanted to confirm this
"You are certain that you will not return alive, but you're willing to proceed as planned?" She asked, General Scorpio responded
"Empress, you know as well as I do that I intend to get myself involved in conflicts such as these. No matter the price I pay" Jacqueline understood as Vixen started to nuzzle against Drayko's knee, which he picked her up and held the Fox Kit; removing the bandages afterwards as her wound was no longer bleeding
Before long, Jafaris Thornwhip came into the tent and alerted them all. "Lord Drayko, General and Empress; it's an chaotic fight out here, you must come with us immediately!" They did so as they got up and walked out of the tent to see the entire New Riders fight to the death until Drayko lost his patience and screamed out with anger. "KNIGHTS!" They all stopped and pinned the blame on the Nadder Rider, all while at the same time saying: "He started it!"
Drayko approached him, who was cowering at the sight of his angry stature before he yelled at the Rider. "I know who is really responsible for this, but I did not ask for anyone causing a god damn fight out here!" The Nadder Rider got up and apologized to him
"You didn't need to see that, but it's hell out here and you know what it's like getting that damn Adrenaline Rush. You just have to kill someone" Drayko knew what it was like and right now, he's having an adrenaline rush of anger that built up
"Identify yourself" He ordered as the Nadder Rider tried to remember before he was interrupted by the Empress
"Please, I don't think Drayko wants to be angered further" The Nadder Rider calmed down and told Drayko his name
"Tubison, but I didn't expect the Empress would be joining us today" He admitted, Drayko shook his head as he cooled and returned to his original personality
"All of you have been spared thanks to what you did in the Dragon's Edge, all of you will be eating your mess off the floor for tonight and tomorrow; we begin the real work" He warned the others before heading back into his tent with the others following in from behind, Tubison immediately started by scrapping up the leftover and still hot Tetrazini into an large bowl before eating; he's still hungry since he got here
HTTYD
The next day following, the real training officially began as the New Riders were only just beginning to know what kind of hell they are about to experience, Drayko however was focused only on a single student and that happened to be Tubison which he observed his progress. It did not begin so well and did not improve over the next few days
Some of these training methods were how to tame their Dragons and create unbreakable bonds which was hard but it gave them effort to try. Fighting armed and unarmed pushed them to develop new strategies against those who used various weapon types and counterattacks. What to do when they're separated from their Dragon which proved to be a fucking nightmare and gave them more punishing hell than necessary. What to do when they're unable to fly or use that grappling claw function which proved to be at least more merciful than the last, but still a nightmare from hell. All the other stuff and practice that strengthened the bonds between the Rider and the Dragon as usual, nothing too complex. Throughout it all, Drayko was continuing to observe Tubison's progress and just can't get a single task done right which forced him to go over to him and tell him to meet him at night
The other New Riders proved to not make too much progress as well, they would think that Drayko would have them sent on missions against the Hunter's vile deeds; but looks like they graduated from the School of Dragons at a bad time, although they can stay if they want he doesn't force anyone against their choices and what they choose. It's their decision afterall and it looked like they've chose at a bad time. But everyone makes that mistake one way or another, so why not go with it until then?
Once nightfall approached, Tubison heads to the location where Drayko wanted him and sits down as he speaks. "I hate insulting my Riders, but..." Tubison closed his eyes as he spoke again. "You are too unsuited for this Encampment, every Rider goes through this and when it becomes too severe; I'll have to take a walk with you around the Dragon's Edge for the night to clear your mind of what bothers you" He gets up and gestures him and Arrowglider to follow him and Toothless, to which they do so without question
Drayko, Toothless, Vixen along with Tubison and Arrowglider walked around the Dragon's Edge as the former began explaining to him about how it was like when he first founded Draconia and how he became a Legend in that regard. "It all began when I first started to build a house for myself with the help of my Dragons before they were now my Knight's Dragons. I was an young man who had enough of the restrictions of the Viking Tribe and their forced traditions" Tubison looked up and asked
"You were apart of a Viking Tribe?" Drayko nodded
"I was once apart of the Hooligans of Berk, but they gave me a horrible name" Tubison felt terrible for asking and did not dare himself to ask for his name, but Drayko saw his expression and continued on. "It was an name that meant: Weak, pathetic, unwanted and unloved in the eyes of and by all; favored by none" He breathed in and spoke out the name. "That name was Hiccup the Useless. I hate that name, I despise that name and I loathe that name. It is a name no one wants or likes, it is foul and disgusting. It is a name that must die" Drayko expressed his deep hatred for his previous name and felt like he had damaged himself along with his mentality
"A name that not even Stoick the Vast likes... but Useless was not who you once were" Tubison placed an arm on his shoulder, Drayko nodded and replied
"Fishlegs Ingerman has the answers for you in his Anthology Book series he wrote: The Young Drayko Ryder Chronicles he calls it" Tubison thought for a moment before they all sat down on the cliff of the Dragon's Edge. Drayko had no thoughts about Berk at this moment and time, but he just couldn't help but wonder what has happened since these last few months to years that passed. There was bound to be something happening over there, surely as Berk did not take him running away so lightly
In the meantime with Berk, Gothi was meditating inside of her Hut when suddenly; she had an sign from the Gods that Drayko was planning to form an alliance with the Murderous Tribe as the two forces will lead their respective armies to Berk and destroy it. She opened her steel grey eyes and got up before leaving her Hut, feeling startled and even feeling uncertain of the events that was shown to her. Spitelout and Burnthair were talking to each other when Gothi approached them
"Something wrong, Gothi?" Burnthair asked, the Elder gave out an solemn but sorrow filled answer
"The Gods have shown me an warning of what is to come from Drayko Ryder. His mentallity and judgement is clouded by his inability to forgive and spare us from a doomed fate he has for us all. Please excuse my absence for awhile, I must understand what the Gods are trying to tell me" With that she left, leaving Burnthair feeling unsettled by her response and Spitelout leaving the Village. He took an calm walk through the forest as he passes by Astrid throwing her Axe towards an tree, she never did get over the fact that Hiccup could betray and disown his own father so easily without remorse; but regardless of having it happen long ago, she was still angered by it. Spitelout continued walking until he he entered the Cove where he sat down in the same spot as last time when they returned with the news that Hiccup was dead
He took a seat up against the overgrown roots of the tree and began thinking about what his nephew might be to now since, he would never admit it to Stoick but, he was glad that Hiccup was taken by Drayko because his brother is a cold, denial, uncaring dickhead who refuses to accept the truth that his wife is gone. He remembered the last time he went to this place and it was when he looked up at the darkened sky of angered clouds and like before, he spoke out the same words that he once said a long time ago
"Hiccup... one day, you'll make things right for Berk. Or should I call you, Drayko that is..."
While he was thinking about what his Nephew was up to, an Deadly Nadder landed in front of him to which he looked up to see
This Nadder was blue with an pale underbelly, orange snout, wings and thighs. This Dragon just so happened to bypass the hidden traps in the forest, sneak past Berk's eyes and just so happened to land down here silently without the Hooligans being alerted. It was amazing for such a Dragon like this to get here undetected, although Spitelout simply asked
"Come to kill me? It's Stoick you want, he's the real prize for you all. Go ahead and attack him, he's one of the biggest Dragon Slayers on Berk" He spoke in bored tone of voice before he went back into his thoughts. Once again he looked up and saw that the Nadder did not move a inch
"If it's a treat you're looking for, the Dock has plenty of them for you and your friends" He spoke once again as the Nadder only tilted it's head
"You're gonna be missing out on it all, Bucket and Mulch got themselves a treasure worth of them Fish for you; it's all eel free..." What he didn't notice was that the Nadder was slowly coming towards him, sniffing him before coming closer and sat down with him; wrapping it's tail around him as if this Nadder loved him, Spitelout couldn't really care less and went with it
"Alright Kingstail, I'll make sure Stoick and Berk don't find out you're with me at all; you know how they hate them Dragon Riders, Chief considers it a betrayal to them" The Nadder loved the name and the two sat there for the rest of the night (A/N: Weather or not this story is not written well is irrelevant, just like I told you all before)
Back at the Dragon's Edge, Drayko and Tubison continued to sit and watch the moon in the night sky together. Their Dragons sat with them the whole time, it wasn't until the sound of flapping wings and the call of a Razorwhip alerted them to the arrival of Heather; who immediately came to them. "Drayko, I need to talk to you" The Dragon Rider gets up and heads over to her with Tubison following behind
"Name your reason for coming here" He asked
"Savage knows that I've betrayed the Berserkers, he's leading them over here to The Edge within an week" Heather informed him as Drayko understood. For Tubison, he ran off back to the climbing wall of the obstacle course where he proceeded upwards; although slipping a few times during his climb, he didn't let go as the rest of the New Riders watch him reach the top before Drayko arrived and saw that he was now much more confident and much more ready than he previously was
For the next few days, Tubison began rising up through the Ranks of the Dragon's Edge Encampment and his progress accelerated through the roof; but he alone was not the only one to improve as they were once feeling unsure and incompetent about themselves, but now feeling confident and ready to fight at all times thanks to the gift of Courage that Drayko has given them all. Can something as shitty as Honor do this? No, it can't which is why the former is more desirable because being true to a set of values and hold them in high standards doesn't mean the same as learning to let go and stand up against the fears that surround and consume you. This is what his meaning has come to since the days on Berk
Finally, it was the time as the Night Terror sentries had alerted the Dragon's Edge of the incoming Berserkers led by Savage of the former Outcasts. The Knights and New Riders mounted their Dragons immediately afterwards and took off to deal with this menace as the Empress could only watch from the sidelines
"Good luck, Drayko..."
HTTYD
The battle began with an assault of cannons, catapults and crossbows to which the Riders all dodged and blasted upon the Berserker Longships, whom because they and the Outcasts were easily destroyed by the fire types of Dragons, forced the soldiers to abandon ship as they all sunk into the water; but they soon retaliated by setting their arrows, cannonballs and catapults on fire as they raged across the air, sailing with a trail of smoke leading from behind. The attacks had struck the Edge, but left nothing but a simple scratch as some of the Dragon Hunter Brigantines that were liberated took the hit; these ones were taken by the Knights as Drayko planned to make a defensive naval fleet
General Scorpio and the New Riders all retreated back to the Edge and all of them grabbed the special made cannons created by them during the many sessions of training at the Encampment. These cannons were made from thick and medium length hollowed bamboo layered with tree-bark, featuring the head of an angry looking Stormcutter with streams of fiery smoke on the sides that were filled to the brim with very unstable and very explosive TNT and gunpowder. They held it on their shoulders like Rocket Launchers and ignited the fuses with sharpened rocks
"Fire!" General Scorpio ordered as the heads of the cannons all shot out with an ashy explosion within the hollowed cannon shaft, the projectile rocket heads all raged and sailed forwards against the targets of their foes; to the Berserkers who started to make a run for it just as Savage screamed out to them of the incoming projectile attack. But atlas the warning came far too late as the impact had pierced through the ships and exploded within, causing the Berserker Longships to sink into ruins. Another assaulting barrage of cannons were fired, continuing on and on until the fleet was no more and the ships sunk with the soldiers of the Tribe
"Raedwit, get the Dragon Eye!" Raedwit understood and flew back to the AKCCNE before grabbing the requested item in question and flew back into the battle with with Drayko and the Knights continuing to fight off the force. The Berserkers could not keep up with this relentless defense and thus were driven away as Savage did vow to return when the time called for it; although he always broke his word more than once as he never did return to attack them as he was too busy with their own civil war going on between them
Once the battle was done and over with, the Knights were lured to an open and wide clearing as a toxic green mist formed on the roof of a house; which after the Berserkers were defeated, they returned to see who was the source of this new evil that was brewing. Vixen was growling in sight and she should be for this was not the first time that this evil had appeared before. Now this time it fully appeared in front of the Knights as it began to emerge as the same demonic entity seen before in the streets of Mierveia Vde Rallie on their way to the Harbor. It was then that this Supernatrual Demon had began to speak in a disgusting echo of a terribly sick man who was coughing, hacking, moaning and vomiting with a chilling and nasty mucus filled voice as it gave out this warning to the Knights; introducing itself first
"I... am Blight. Know this warning I give you. Those who are responsible for disturbing my slumber will face the true plague of the fallen emperor, I come this way for more than a single reason as I target you" He jumped off the roof and landed on the ground as the demon now known as Blight continued to speak. "Legendary Dragon Rider of Draconia... you must face your judgement of reawakening me as anyone who seeks to destroy the diseases I spread, the plagues I place all upon you, the pollution I give, the filth that you are and the Illness I submerge with the stains of the blood from my victims must answer or be slain by the sword I wield; who shall be known as Goldnail!" He finished with anger in it's voice as it got into a combat stance against Drayko
"Don't speak, just die!" He ignited Inferno coldly and darkly in his voice as he brought up his Shield. The demon sprinted over to his opponent as he slashed swiftly, with Drayko blocking the swing of the demon's sword with his Shield and counterattacking with a stab of his fiery sword. Blight continued with his swift assault of frontal attacks to which Drayko continued to block, eventually boiling down to him attacking on the offensive with him swinging Inferno with a spinning windmill of sword slashes, rapid stabs and using his Crossbow to fire arrows into it's armor. Blight kicked him away from his stomach and spun a circle around itself with it's sword, summoning a ring of bloodstained, filthy and oxidized swords that had infectious green mist imbued to them
The demon got into a back left stance where it looked like it was unsheathing it's sword, which caused all the summoned swords to point directly towards Drayko; which Blight had then rapidly went into a cycle of sheathing and unsheathing it's sword which caused the others to missile towards Drayko one by one. The Knight had slashed away at them one by one as they kept coming towards him, shattering them until they were all gone. Blight had used this to it's advantage and slashed Drayko across the chest, although he kicked the sword out of it's hands to disarm the demon before holding his chest. Drayko ran towards Blight who was near the sword when it landed and slashed across it's helmet, although the swift cut had also caught the blade and caused Blight to spurt out blood in response. Believing this to be Blight's weakness, he continued to slash away at the seemingly sentient sword
This attack on the lifeforce known as Goldnail had caused Blight to sprout and spurt out more and more blood, as if this weapon was controlling him; but that alone was highly unlikely due to not knowing more about his enemy. Eventually, Blight had let out a filthy howl of an extremely painful scream of rage that had made the Riders cover their ears with Raedwit on one knee punching the ground, wanting it to the stop already. Blight recovered Goldnail and slashed away at Drayko, who was starting to show signs of infection by Blight's Diseases before being stabbed by the Demonic Villain to further infect him and make him severely ill; he then ripped it out of him but Drayko continued on fighting regardless
Blight had reclaimed Goldnail and continued to clash with his newfound Rival, Drayko. Creating a impenetrable spear of sword swings, slashes and cuts until they locked their blades together; Drayko vomited an hot stream with blood being present which had Toothless fire a Plasma Bolt at the Demonic Villain, whom has split it in half but was disarmed afterwards by Drayko kicking his arm. "Infernal beast, how dare you interrupt my duel!" It screamed out violently towards Toothless, but was immediately attacked as Drayko slashed at the Cursed Sword like nothing else. To which Blight was too weakened to the point that he immediately reclaimed Goldnail and started to vanish in it's own toxic green mist, but not before it made this statement. "Slayer of Red Death, this will not be the end of my plans I have for those of Mierviea Vde Rallie. We will meet again!" With that, Blight vanished entirely in his own mist while leaving both Valka and Arson to check up on Drayko; who vomited onto the grass before standing up again, feeling alot more better when his Birthmark glowed. Afterwards, Vixen started to rub against her companion; feeling concerned for him
"Don't let that Demon get to you Vixen, I'll be more than ready to kill something like him"
"Yeah, you'll be alright" Eret told him
"You've never let a damn Dragon stop yeh' at all, especially not tha' fuckin' Red Death" Drayko had approached the Empress and asked her
"You know of this demon, he calls himself?" He asked calmly
"Blight feels unfamiliar to me I'm afraid, but Mierveia Vde Rallie is no stranger to signs of Demons. It's history has been plagued with such incidents, the Story I'm about to tell back at Draconia may be connected to the surges of demons; it involves our late son, our Prince"
General Scorpio foresaw the whole fight and approached the Knights. "I will return to Draconia soon after the New Riders have gotten fully prepared for the ambush, it may take long but we'll be gone by then" Drayko nodded as he let Vixen jump onto his shoulder before taking off back to Draconia with Tubison watching all Knights go off from the Dragon's Edge in the distance
"Good luck, Drayko and welcome to the fight" He spoke with confidence as he and Arrowglider followed the General and other New Riders back into the Tent
In the meantime, Drayko had not felt his Birthmark glowing in a long, long time which he had gotten use to; he assumed that it was a sign that the adventure of fighting against Red Death was over, and that it was time for it to go into a dormant sleep. But that was not the case as it had glowed many times before even after the fall of the Bane of Queens, though it was unknown to him and he was not aware of this at all. This was really his first time knowing that his Birthmark was glowing, and like before it fed him power; he had missed this feeling just like he had missed the feeling of flying many months ago during the 6 Months of Toothless' Behwearft. But now that it was giving him strength again, he knew this Journey was not going to be as easy as last time because they're dealing with a Madgod of all people
"This stinkin' Archipelago is the last place I thought I'd find a False Dragon God. I've known my many Gods in Norse Mythology and I'm sure as hell that Loki doesn't act like that" Toothless cooed to him, agreeing as they continue flying on for as the day becomes night and the story of the Emperor's Son is about to be told right here, right now. Only at Draconia, no one can miss it
Who is this Blight? What revelations does he have tied to the history of Mierveia Vde Rallie? How did he come to be? What fate has become of Emperor Dretzymiro's son, the Prince? And most importantly, where could Drago Bludvist being striking next in the Archipelago? All these questions lie unanswered but there's bound to be more than what is told through the memories of those whose wisdom has shown. As of now, Berk remains unfathomed by the rising threat that Drayko is becoming for his vengeance will not be stopped by any means; he will take it out on the Hooligans and he will kill Stoick the Vast. They are safe for now but when the time comes, there is no one who can hide from his wrath. In the next chapter, the Empress tells the story of how Blight manifested itself as a demon of diseases; stay tuned my Readers. Remember this suggestion: Don't like it, don't read it. Otherwise, Feel free to Review and Until we meet again next time...

P.S: My own little example of what the symbols of War are in different mythologies
Omega: An Omnicron broken up at the side with it's edges turned outward and upward as a slightly enclosed circle. It's meaning representing not only "Final" and "Most Powerful" but also standing as a symbol of War in Greek Mythology
Jormangandr: A spiral representing the World Serpent with it's head on both sides and sporting 8 different Norse Runes. Mannaz, Tiwaz, Gebo, Nauthiz, Hagalaz, Sowulo, Eihwaz and Inguz. Being a counterpart of Omega and being that the World Serpent releases it's tail alongside other events to begin Ragnarok, this is no stranger to representing War in Norse Mythology
Eye of Horus: More specifically, an eye of the falcon headed God of War known as Horus in Egypt. A symbol of an agent of action, protection, sacrifice, healing, restoration and War as there was more than one deity in Egyptian Mythology
Triskelion: A left sided spiral of three legs as they curl into each other with an triangle in the center. Belatucadros, an God associated and equated with the Roman's own God of War known as Mars is favored and worshiped by the soldiers of Celtic Mythology
Mitsudoemoe: A clockwise comma swirl form of magatama in a set of three, being that of Takemikzauchi, the God of War, Conquest, Martial Arts, Sumo and Lightning. Even in the lands to the East, they have their own symbol meaning War in Japanese Mythology
