Astrid Haddock has been married to the chief for 12 years, so keeping the village in check had become a easy mission. Keeping track of her twin boys was another story.

The twins was at one place one second and at another place the second after. The last she saw them was when they circle around the island trying to see who had the fastest dragon. Astrid being the concern mother that she was, was trying to keep an eye on them while at the same time trying to pay attention on Mr. and Mrs. Ahlberg who was telling her that their dragon had run away for a reason they didn't know.

It was odd actually. Dragons had been gone missing from Berk recently and no one knew why. It wasn't snoggletog and when it was, all the dragons flew away from Berk at the same time not one by one. The dragons must fly away at night when no one is watching, but the big question was why.

Why were the dragons flying off at night when they had people here that loves them and the dragons loves them back?

Astrid told the Ahlberg couple that she would fill in a report and make the report pile of missing dragons even higher. Okay, she didn't say the last part but she would fill in a report, after flying around Berk to she if there were any fire's or other trouble anywhere, but also to check where her two sons were. Her daughter Vylma was the one child she saw as the calm and none trouble kid of all her four kids.

Vylma who had never caused trouble in her life and was the quiet and smart one who listen. Keeping track of her was like keeping track of the ocean. You always knew it was there and it wasn't going anywhere. Vylma was like that. You knew she was somewhere on the island and wouldn't go anywhere without telling you. Her brothers Stoick and Finn was two boys who could just fly away and come home the next day. Vylma, was a no troublemaker kid.


"Okay, Brie you know that I don't blame you and I don't think you're the one who told him. Everyone one will blame me for bringing her here and that's why we need to find a new home for her." Vylma told her dragon Brie while they they flew through the tunnel a whispering death had done a long time ago under Berk. A tunnel Brie had found the opening to after Vylma had seized by panic after coming home to Berk with an egg she could have left or destroyed, but she didn't know what dragon it was inside of it and now when it had hatched, she knew exactly what kind of dragon it was and it was the one dragon she never thought she would come across, ever.

But here she was. 2 years later, after she had gone flying for the first time in secret and found the egg lying in a cave on an island she had never been to before and wasn't even on her father's map. She and Brie had taking the dragon to Berk and placed it in the tunnel, because she couldn't say to her parents that she found it on an island when she's wasn't allowed to fly away on her own. And if she said that she had found it on Berk, she has to tell them where and why if they know the egg can't come to Berk or if the egg is not- she had panic and placed it in the tunnel.

And now when the egg had hatched, a part of her had wished she had never taking the egg from the island and the other part of her was happy that she did.

It was amazing watching it grow and raise it in secret, but she knew it was wrong in a way. She had of course had heard stories of this dragon, well not this dragon but its species. Vylma knew it could end bad, but this dragon was happy. It played with her and Brie and had never hurt either of them. Vylma had even found its weakness and not the weakness she knew of. A spot on middle of its back, a spot that was so soft it felt like she could just poke it and the dragon would just lose its legs underneath and fall flat on its stomach. Vylma hadn't touched the spot since she had found it and she had promise the dragon that she would never touch the spot or tell anyone of it. And the dragon trusted her.

"Hi there, Delia." Vylma and Brie had come into view with the secret dragon.

Delia lifted its head and slammed it right into the ceiling, making soil and stones fall down on her. Dalia lowered her head to the ground and growled low.

"I know it's trapped in here and that's why," Vylma lifted down a basket of fish from Bries back. "We're getting you a new home when the night comes. In the meantime you can eat your food while Brie and I keep you company."

The basket fell to the ground at Delias head and she happily ate her food.

Vylma smiled and Brie laid down so Vylma could sit against her. Vylma scratched Bries chin and started to talk to her. "We can't let mum or dad or anyone find her and I think Toothless knows or at least feel her. The dragons do, at least the ones who has been on Berk since mum and dad were kids and they have left Berk. We need to move Delia so they can come back and so we don't get caught."

Vylma signed. She couldn't understand how this species was seeing as the bad dragon. Sure the other dragon was hugh and made bad things. Berk and other villages was targets because its bad instincts and control, but this dragon - Delia was nice and happy she would never become bad and Vylma and Brie was going to make sure of that.

Delia wasn't going to become like the dragon that took her father's leg.

Delia wasn't going to become the red death the second.


The village of Berk were quiet that night. The patrols were almost asleep because of the quietness. The people that was in their houses were fast asleep in their beds and the candles were put out and the only fire place that had flames were the one in the great hall, were Astrid sat with her one hand supported her head and the other lifted a report of a missing dragon.

Astrid sighed and read the report again.

The Olesen family had lost their gronckle Sten two nights ago and no one knows where he had gone. Not even Toothless, the alpha of dragons.

Toothless had been on more high alert the past two weeks than ever and Hiccup has become worried, he actually hoped that coming away from Berk would made Toothless relax a little at least. Astrid knew they would come home tonight and if not tonight then the next day. Bonding with a dragon could take days or they didn't bond at all. She wanted to sit home and wait for Hiccup and Magnhild to arrive but she knew she and Hiccup would talk all night long of everything and they didn't want to risk to wake the kids so she had taking the paperwork to the great hall and waited for him there. He would know where to found her, the great hall was the third place on this island where she would be late at night. First their home, second the cove - but she had no energy left to go there and Stormfly needed her sleep after a day full of flying around trying to track down her boys. The last place was the great hall.

She placed down the report and put her hands on her face. The whole dragon disappearing was a mysterium and all she could think about was the control of the red death and the bewilderbeast. But those two could control so many dragons at the same time and these dragons disappears one at the time.

The great hall door opened and closed.

Astrid didn't look up to see who it was, the sound of footsteps (or footstep) was a sound she knew better than anyone. She didn't flinch when the person's hand gripped her shoulder and he sat down beside her. She leaned on his shoulder and he moved his hand to her back.

"Rough day?" he asked and she nodded.

"Four new reports, Dan's sheeps got lose again and ran to the other side of the village, two fishing boats sunk and the fishermen almost drowned. Olav and Leif almost burned their grandparents house down but the fire was put out before the house burned down to the ground. I caught Gothi from almost falling down from her house thanks to our sons and Brant." Hiccup chuckled and Astrid moved so they were face to face.

"If I hadn't caught her she would be dead now and I think Stoick and Finn are way to much with Olav, Leif and Brant, four troublemakers on this island is more crazy than what your father had to put up with, with only Ruff and Tuff."

"Yeah, but we all did something crazy that almost gave him a heart attack." grinned Hiccup. "And who knew Stoick and Finn would become troublemakers."

Astrid smiled. "Yeah, you're right." she looked at the reports again.

"This pile is getting bigger and bigger and we still have no solution for the problem." she gestured to the pile that was soon tipping over.

"How many is there now?" Hiccup asked and took the one on top.

"35, in two weeks! This is crazy. How can 35 dragons just disappear? It doesn't make sense."

Hiccup frowned. "No it doesn't." Hiccup thought for a minute before he continued. "It's like the red death and the bewilderbeast all over again, but this time it's just a few dragons at the time and if some dragon is trying to take control Toothless would sense it."

"But Toothless has been sensing something over the past two weeks but he it seems like he don't what it is."

Hiccup and Astrid both went silence after that, both thinking of all the possibilities of what had happen to the dragons.

Astrid took a deep breath and slapped her hands on her legs and turned full to her husband. "Well anyway we can deal with this tomorrow. Tell me, what dragon did the future girl riders bond with?"

Hiccup placed the report at the pile and turned to his wife.

"Well Magnhild bonded with a green nadder she has named Temple."

Astrid smiled. "I knew she would bond with a nadder."

"Yeah it was kinda predictable. Ingrid has a gronckle named Kyrja - also predictable. Thora a monstrous nightmare named Ray and Frida a singtail name Signe."

Astrid raised her eyebrows. "A singtaile?"

"Yes, a singtaile," He shakes his head. "Don't even ask me how it happen."

Astrid looked away in confusing. "Well if Finn can befriend a changewing and you a night fury, I think Frida can befriend a singtail even if it sounds a bit… I don't know impossible?" she looked at Hiccup with a questioned face.
