Berk was the land to kill or be killed.
Breathing dire dragons were burning every houses of the village, looking for anything to eat. Vikings were fighting against those ferocious beasts, spitting dragons or men blood on the ground everywhere.
A young woman was running between the flames, trying to escape and going toward her house where her two babies were in their cribs alone.
-"Valka! Watch out!"
She heard her name and dock by reflex. A dragon flew right above her head. She then waited a few second to look around. She tried to catch her breath but breathing was becoming difficult with all the smoke. She coughed and didn't hear the Monstruous Nightmare coming behind her. She felt a warmer heat and turned around. The dragon stopped moving and just stared at Valka. Their look didn't broke until a Viking appeared out of no where and rushed to throw his axe on the dragon. But Valka and catch the man's wrist.
-"No! You'll only make it worse!", she pleaded.
The Vikings watched the dragon left and throw a furious glare at her. He snorted and ran away. Valka sighed but then heard a loud crack. She turned her head toward the sound and gasped when she saw a dragon breaking into their house.
-"Hiccup! Meg!"
She ran as fast as she could. Once there she grabbed the first weapon she could reach and walked to protect her babies. But her eyes widen when she saw what was happening.
The dragons was actually playing with the little boy, making him giggling. The little girl next to him was sleeping peacefully. But both started to cry when the dragon felt Valka and turned around too fast, cutting Hiccup's chin in the process.
The dragon looked at Valka right in the eyes. Then begun an intense staring between them two. Valka saw her own soul in the gentle and intelligent creature. The dragon started to gaze and pur, starting to trust the young lady. Valka smiled and try to reach the dragon with her hand really slowly.
-"Valka!"
The soft moment transformed into rage and destruction the moment her husband shouted her name, throwing his axe between them.
The dragon snapped out of the stare and roared at Stoick, who jumped and went to take his son out of the cradle. He didn't had to jump and take his daughter cause the dragon stepped between him and her and he spat fire. Stoick had time to avoid it.
Valka panicked and caught the wing of the dragon, trying to push him.
-"No, don't!", Valka shouted.
The dragon turned and looked at her, wondering. He looked back at Stoick and Valka took the opportunity to ran to take her daughter in her arms. She didn't had time to breath cause she felt the floor being taking away under her feet. The dragon caught her and flew away with Valka, holding Meg tight against her chest.
-"Valka!", Stoick screamed.
-"Stoick!", Valka called.
Stoick just looked at his wife and only daughter disappeared into the burning night sky.
-"Valka...Meg...", Stoick said their names one last time.
Hiccup, who was in his father's arms, looked at his mom and sister getting away, never to be seen again.
Valka was still high in the air with Meg in her arms. The dragon finally throw both girl on his back. Valka finally could breath, even if she was still really scared.
The flight was becoming really long and Valka fall asleep with the soothing rocking of the dragons. She woke up to the roars of other dragons that appeared next that dragon. They flew along them. The morning came into sight and so was a huge mountain made of spikes of ice. The dragons flew right to it and got into a hole until a huge cove take place.
It had waterfalls falling, spikes of ice a bit everywhere, trees colored with the most beautiful green Valka ever saw, the vegetation was beautiful, free dragons were flying all around.
This was a dragon sanctuary.
The dragon landed and Valka hurried to get down. The dragons were approaching her curiously and she stepped back. She didn't see a rock and tripped, falling into her butt with Meg still sleeping in her arms. She crawled until her back hit a rock wall.
The dragons watched her and sniffed her. A small Terrible Terror came under the big brown dragon and walked to Valka. She gasped and hold her breath when the tiny dragon climbed on her legs. He sniffed Meg. The little girl woke up and yawned. The Terrible Terror puffed warm hair on her puffy cheeks and she giggled.
Valka just watched them. Her daughter seemed happy and the little dragon was so friendly with her. The bigger dragons around just lay and rested.
The dragon and girl in her arms eventually fall back asleep and they rested in her arms. Valka sighed.
Maybe peace between dragons and humans was finally possible.
