I wake up to see all the dragons huddled around Holly. As I walk closer I see that she's holding an amber coloured stone. "What have you got there?" I ask as I pat Arrow on the snout. "I don't know. It has some writing on it that I can't read but I can her all these little murmurs". "Show me". She holds out the stone and I relise what language it's written in. "I know what to do. Give me a second". I jog back over to the campsite and retrieve my satchel. I pull out the device and run back over to Holly. "What is that?" "Something I've been working on for a while now. Can youtake my picture?" She gives me a confused look but takes the device and take the picture. "Thanks, now if it just go onto languages, select other and enter the one I want, it should work..." I say as I press enter and look back at the amber stone. The writing soon becomes clear. "It says "those who come across yhis stone will be blessed with the gift of dragonese, but those who misuse it will be cursed for eternity"". As I finish reading it the murmurs grow louder untill it's a proper conversation. "what was that?" I finish and Holly gives me a look and saus "what? I don't understand what you're saying". "I said what was that" I repeat but Holly gives me an odd look. "Yeah I still don't understand. Try speaking english" she says getting annoyed, an edge to her voice. "I said I don't understand" I say. "Hey I can understand you but I didn't say anything just before". I look cofused and I hear it again. Different voices having a conversation. "You mean that she can understand us?" "Yes. I explained this before. The dragon jewl allows humans that are worthy to speak our language. I'm not explaining this again Stormfly". I jump. Stormfly? What is going on? Is this rhing allowing and talk their language. Lets test this. "umm, excuse me, but I'm a bit confused". "see, I told you so" Shadow mocks in triumph. "hello, but can you please explain this Shadow" Arrow and the others ask. "ok ok where should I start?"

"So this stone lets me understand abd talk to you?" "Precisely. And apperently your friend Holly over there to. She a good flyer to" Shadow says. "I like her" Stormfly says. "Wow that's impress" Sybous says rolling his eyes. "And one last thing" Shadows butts in. "If you practice long enough you will eventually not nee the stone and be able to swith between dragonese and your natural toung" she finishes off. "umm hello? What's going on?!" "Mmm sorry Holly, I'll let them explain". She gives me a questioning look before taking the stone and being launched into an exploration. "I'll be hack later, maby".

I walk through the firest, taking in the wonderful blue sky and lush green pine trees. I really don't know how I got so lucky. Lucky enough to be here and be in this world. And I wonder sometimes if... "agh what the?" I yell as a terrible terror land full speed onto me. "What are you doing" I ask the small dragon before it gets it chance to chirp at me. It holds a peice of papper in its maw and hold it out to me. "Umm thanks?" I ask and before I can give him a pet he fumps up into the treetops and flys off. After getting over the sudden round off adrenaline that had coursed ots way through my body I unroll the price of pare. It says "Hey Astrid or Indi or whoever gets this message. We just wanted to let you know that we are going to be set up at the Edge. Everything is fine but we though i5 would be better for there to be a bit more practice space. Also for the eggs to hatch. Toothless has done a great job looking after them and is being very fatherly. Also wanted you to know that Heather is back and going to be with us for a little while. Hope your having fun, the gang".

I smile before remembering the part about Heather. My heart skips a beat. I haven't met her yet. And what about Dagur? High expectations much? Why am I fussing so much anyway? It'll be a few more days before we head back. We still have two more dragons to find and that will takes us a while. And I promised Astrid a holiday that still stands. Ugh, just calm down. It's no big deal. I'll just go tell Astrid. Her and Heather are so close. She'll be so excited. And she still needs to tell everyone about the baby. Oh god, this is hopeless. Lets just get back before I get lost.

"Where were you at?" Jessie asks as I wander back to the campsite. "Just having a wander". "Well do you know what Holly's doing. The dragons are ignoring us" she says sounding annoyed. "Umm yeah I'll go check whats going on. And where's Astrid?" "She went over and is niw talking to Holly. She just keeps ignoring us". 'Shit'. "Yeah I'll go check".

"Holly, Astrid are you guys coming over?" "Yeah in a minute". I jump. "You to huh?" She nods. "Yeah. Pretty impressive". "Yeah but I wouldn't tell anyone". Astrid nods but Holly loks at me strangely. "Why?" "Because the more peopl who find out about it the more people will come looking for it. Besides it's not something to mess around with" I finish. "Yeah fair enough" she says and starts walking back to the campsite. "By the way got a letter from the others. We're to go back to the edge once everyone is done. And Heather is staying for a while". Astrid's face lights up at the mention of Heather. "Come on. I want to keep looking tomorrow so I want to keep the dragons on edge. Give them things to practice when we're separated". "Good idea. Leats go" she says, walking back over the the campsite. I follow with the dragons close behind.
