First Day of Dragon Training
That night after the pronouncement of hearing it was time for the torch to be passed to the next generation was a devastating blow for one and all.
It's a natural thing to watch your children grow up and gain more responsibilities as they get older, but to be handed this responsibility, this burden; that wasn't normal. And it was both a blessing and a curse all in the same stroke.
It was a very beautiful evening and hopefully it stay a beautiful night for one last night of innocence and that the children would be allowed one last night to have beautiful dreams.
For starting come dawn tomorrow would be the beginning of their journey to their destines and that would be wrought with so many twist, turns and surprises who knows when anyone would get another decent night sleep?
For that reason it was no surprise Nightrainbow and the other members of the Dragon Choir were singing the Dragon Lullaby all over Berk for one and all to sleep too.
It truly was the only reason that any of the children were able to be lulled to sleep since their parents and grandparents couldn't even muster any strength to sing even though they wanted too. They'd all been struck dumb by the news and were thankful for their dragons stepping into to put their children to sleep.
So Nightrainbow was leading the choir over the island slowly as they sang the song in a beautiful soft ballad.
"Hush now, my little one, my gift of love from the gods above. Close your eyes and sleep as the gentle turquoise waves lull you to your dreams of peace.
Let yourself dive deep into the ocean of dreams where the stars shine forever bright with the wind whispering long lost lullabies.
Come with me now to where the moon is made of gold and the sun lights the path on the waves as smooth as glass.
We'll ride the waves on a little boat through ocean of dreams just you and me till we reach where the sky and the sea meet.
Come with me to the sea of dreams, just you and me, and we'll sing the song of the dream sea.
The dream of the night before begins anew as we sail further in the bright blue as we follow the sweetest of sounds into a path of bright light of love and hope.
We'll reach a beach full of white sand and green trees. We'll build a castle together just you and me where we can dream by the side of the sea of dreams. Don't cry, my child, it's just you and me.
So come with me, my child of love, so we may sail the sea of dreams just you and me.
We'll sail that sea of dreams with the moon of gold shining brightly on the waves of a new night's dream as the song of the dream sea becomes anew. Just for me and you.
So as we sail on these rolling waves I still hold you tight don't be scared and don't you cry. I'll always be by your side.
So come with me to where the sea of dreams is lit by the moon that is made of gold and where we can sail to where the sky and the sea meet. Just come with me to the sea of dreams and that is where the song of the dream sea will be.
And there I'll be to sing it too you so you may travel this ocean of bright blue to sail to your dreams anew.
So rock a bye my child of love so we may sing the song of love as we sail that sea of dreams forever and always beginning tonight, my most precious gift from above."
As they flew through the village and Seven New Islands you really saw how much Berk had undergone its own Age of Transformation and Enlightenment in the past 28 years.
Countless new buildings, better quality soil for better crops and better livestock, they'd numerous sources of power by using nature's own elements, their level of technology far exceeded their time, they'd many clever inventions.
Which included Una's Dragon Voice Box that was like a primitive phone, they'd their own primitive printing press, a working clock tower, indoor plumbing and so many more things due to both the creative minds of the Haddocks and everyone else.
Their library of knowledge was far greater than most people of their time period given that they'd really opened their mind and thought out of the box and thought for themselves.
They'd even created artificial land massed with the Seven New Islands! Using the dragons to created, Plant, Animal, Guest, Secret, Emergency. Vacation and Refuge Islands.
Then you had to consider all that they'd done with the Dragons and the dragons had done with them plus the Spirit Portal on top of that.
And the final culmination of all of this was they'd Transformed and Enlightened themselves. They'd changed their thoughts, feelings and beliefs and become better and wiser people.
That was just the start of the turning point that the Tapestry had foreseen when it came to what it had seen when it came to Hiccup, Boden and Una's births and what they're capable of doing and how they'd wove an entirely new pattern along with all the lives they'd touched.
So it did give you pause to wonder what exactly would the next generation do and be capable of doing? The children of this amazing generation?
All that was known for sure one thing would remain the same the most important lessons that had been learned and was now instilled for every future generation from the start as soon as they're born and old enough to understand the word.
Family. Family was the most important thing to everyone in the Dragon Harmony Alliance and nothing more important the Family, Friendship and Love as those were the three founding factors that held the DHA together.
Therefore that was a lesson everyone knew by heart. It was in fact written and hung in all their homes and guest houses next to the Vow of Siblinghood.
Which is what all the grandmothers were all and reciting the words that explained why family were so important. Valka and her friends were perhaps saying the most passionately as it was their grandkids on Berk.
Valka was the only grandmother whose children and grandkids still lived with her. The rest of her friends children had all moved into what originally been three guests houses and thanks to both Gobber and Eret built and added on rooms. So they and all the children who were cousins could live with together with their spouses and together.
Since Berk may've grown and changed but it still wasn't exactly a gigantic island and the families felt strongly that family should stay close and together. So like in her own house where a lot of rooms had been added on and almost everyone had to share a bedroom that had gone one with her friends and their children and grandchildren.
Right at the moment 63 year old Valka was sitting at her kitchen table drinking hot chocolate leisurely and reading the family oath as it was called. Valka still looked very much the same other than her hair was now completely gray; otherwise she was still strong and tall.
It'd seemed that something about Berk had changed in recent times. For the reason that people had started to stay stronger, fitter and more youthful for the last 23 years.
Overall people's health in addition to vitality had gotten a lot livelier and people had been living a great deal longer then they use too. Given the fact that Gothi was still kicking and she was a 113 years old!
Though for Valka it was neither here or there at the moment thinking at that moment if Stoick hadn't been murder he'd been 73 and would've truly enjoyed all ten of his grandchildren tearing apart the every building household.
They'd so many people under one roof they'd not only had to add so many bedrooms upstairs they'd to add on a second bathroom and a larger kitchen table to accommodate everyone!
"Let's see as the Family Oath goes," she mused quietly to take a sip and carried on ever so quality.
"Throughout life you will see that there is so much that we do not understand.
But even though things don't always go the way we plan we see that every day that we won't turn away.
No matter if we feel if our dreams are coming undone. We stand by each other side and fill each other with hope and pride.
We are more than were are for we are one.
So when we ask the world.
"If there so much I must be can I still just be me? The way I am? Can I trust in my own heart or am I just one part of some big plan?"
We can answer "Even when those we love are gone they stay with us as we journey on."
Life if full of tears of pain and tears of joy but together as a family there one thing nothing can destroy. Is the love and pride we hold deep inside because we know we are one.
Being a family like the earth and sky. It's one family under the sun. Together we give each other all the wisdom and courage we need.
And we will all see that when we realize we are one," she finished reading to herself when she heard something going on upstairs.
Worried she went upstairs to check what was going on. The upstairs was one long hallway of bedrooms. What had been her children's bedrooms were now the rooms they'd shared with their spouses.
Going further down the added on hallway was the other bedrooms for her grandchildren. On the left side were her granddaughters' rooms, one room that Breena and Edyis shared and the other that all three of Una's daughters shared. On the right were her grandsons' rooms. Hiccup's sons shared one room and Boden and Una' sons shared the other room.
Coming out of the bedrooms right now were six parents. Astrid had been in her sons' room as had Asta with her sons and apparently Orus been checking on his little boy too.
Clearly her own children been checking on their daughters as they're coming out of their daughters' rooms but all looked grim and unsure.
"Well, I'd be a fool if I didn't think every parent on this island wasn't checking on their children tonight and giving them a lot of hugs and kiss now that they finally fell asleep.
How are you all holding?" as she led them down the stairs quietly and poured them all hot chocolate.
"It's not an easy pill to swallow, Mom. And my brother, sister and I've been taking pills for years!" her 43 year old son Hiccup tried to crack a joke even though he was tired and not really even in the mood to be funny.
"It's not like this the first hurdle you've had to cross as parents you know. You have all dealt with what you expected would happen," Valka started to say calmly when her 38 year old son Boden politely cut it.
"Pardon us, Mom, but while we did naturally anticipate that all our children would indeed inherited our blessings and mental problems, which they did. And thank Odin you and Dad kept your journal and that Lily and Gothi have the meds to help with it.
But hearing about this? Something that hasn't happened since our own births? From that Tapestry and from Frigga's own mouth? That's not a normal parenting problem. Sorry."
"My BBBFF have a fair point, Mommy," her 33 year old daughter and her husband nodded "I mean I didn't even get a warning of this and I'm a bridge between worlds!"
"I've only had 12 years to try and understand my own gift and well this still throws me for a loop understanding the many blessings and gifts that Tapestry gives certain individuals, Valka.
Why it blesses some and not others and you even said Frigga who watches over it doesn't fully comprehend it at times," Orus added and he was still bewildered by the many new things he was still learning even 12 years later after marrying his wife.
"It is true, there is a lot we don't fully understand about your family and you're all connection to the Gods and beyond," agreed Asta as she played with her ponytail.
"Or how complex your three destines are interwoven with so many others and that somehow that extends to all Nine Realms and beyond that. And sometimes I don't think we should even try and strain our brains to figure it out," Astrid stated as she stretched in her chair.
"Which is properly the wisest thing to do. I don't think even Frigga or Odin try to fully comprehend all that Tapestry is or the fact it does have a mind of its own. So we best not strain our brains either," Valka agreed as she refilled everyone's golden goblets.
"Mommy why are things always the calmest before the most hellish of storms are about to break loose and tear apart all you hold dear?" Una asked in a very quiet voice to her beloved mommy.
Valka sighed and looked disheartened before answering, "I've no idea, my sweetheart. I know in my bones that this danger this threat my grandchildren and all their friends are now being trained to face though?
It's been the root of all the evil throughout the Realms and the source of all the evil that has threaten your lives and all that we've held dear since time begun. We all must stay strong as a family and friends more than ever and must make sure the children understand how important their bonds of love and friendship are if they are to truly face their destiny as all of your generation did yours."
"Not to mention we cannot fail in continuing to spread the Golden Age we've start and our own duties. Us and our dragons. Surely as we speak our dragons are having the same thoughts, feelings and talks we are having at this moment amongst themselves." Hiccup stated.
"I don't even need my Dragon Whispering powers to tell me that is true, bro. It's their own children and grandchild who must carry the torch as well. So one and all are afraid and know both generations have to work together to face this great evil threatening all we've worked to achieve."
"I've already lost one home and family. I will not lose my second home or my second family or my own children. Let us prepare for the worst and hope for the best," Orus suggest in a firm and strong voice.
"Yes, one and all for the five tribes that started the DHA. Berk, Outcast, Berserks, Shardas and Moralien we must united for the common good and face the threat together.
We are one family after all and we rise and fall together. That's part of the foundation of why we united and we won't fail in why we came together in the first place," Asta reminded them strongly.
"Nor will we fail those who came before us. Our ancestors or any future descendants either. What we do starting tomorrow will honor our past, to protect our present and bring about an even better future," asserted Astrid who was thinking of her fallen uncle.
"Good. We better remind one and all of this before we begin the dragon portion of the training tomorrow. For now we must all get some sleep ourselves. So let's all take some of my mother's sleeping potion and get a good night sleep, shall we?"
The next morning all the families in the village of Berk and their allies staying in the specially designed custom guest homes on Guest Island all had the best breakfast they could have before they all slowly started to arrive one-by-one to the old Berk Dragon Training Academy.
Awaiting them was 78 year old Gobber whose remaining hair was snow white now and you'd think by now he'd have invested at least in some new clothes but no. He still wore the same clothes he'd worn all his life and they're just shabby and smellier than ever.
(Hiccup and his family had been secretly working with Ewe Sarryck who ran the Laundry Hall that doubled the Village Garment factory. And they're gonna force Gobber into new clothes the same way they still forced him to bath if it was the last thing they did!)
Also with him was Tove and Unn's mothers 49 year old Skullette and 40 year old Firefang. True to their family bloodline both looked way younger than their given age and were remarkable beautiful and rather fashionable.
Their husbands Auden and Sora would be taken over their duties in the Dragon Nursery today as they along with Gobber would be giving all the children's dragons a through medical examination before they started training.
The children on the hand would be getting their own medical exam by the supercenterarian Gothi and her niece Lily while their dragons were being checked out to make sure they're in tiptop shape.
Therefore the kids were supposed to merely drop off their dragons then be escort a short distance to a temporary medical examination building for their own physical by the human doctors of the island.
"I hope you are ready to behave, Gobber. Remember dragons have very long memories." Skullette refreshed the old blacksmith mind before bending down to finishing getting this set up for the exam.
"Yes, and we have several who are the children or grandchildren of the ones you deeply offended 24 years ago. And some are long holding a grudge," Firefang also remind him as she rolled in a large metal wagon with a heavy metal truck with she unlocked.
It was full of files of every know dragon that been born on Berk or had come to Berk since the time the Nursery had originally been the Underground Dragon Sanctuary.
"So just do your job correctly as a dragon doctor and dentist while the children get their physical done and we won't have a problem, okay?" the sisters both said in a stern voice.
"Does everyone have to remind me of one mistake I made so many years ago? I've been stone-cold sober for years! Geez! I wonder if Odin gets heckled this much by Frigga!"
"It is very important to repeat it to you since you're the reason the zero-tolerance laws were imposed in the first place Gobber!" hissed Skullette irately with her hands on her hip.
"Yeah, since the straw the broke the dragon back was you got so plastered you fondle and licked the hatchlings in the Nursery from drinking yourself stupid and gambling like a fool!" shrieked Firefang in revulsion at the memory.
"Okay, it was not my finest moment in my life and I've made a lot mistakes as everyone else in a world where no-one not even Odin himself is perfect. But can we drop it?"
"For now yes, since it's time to start the physicals and we have the Night Furies to do first starting with the girls. First up is Selena and then we work are way from the Haddock dragons after them comes the rest of the Riders Dragons, then their siblings dragons. After that we take a short break before we tackle their allies' dragons.
Then everyone is allowed a 1 hour lunch break and then the real training begins.
Selena made her way up as Gobber began to exam her as Skullette helped and Firefang updated her chart.
Each of the Night Fury children had one stand out characteristics that made them stand out from the rest of their siblings. For Selena her eyes were a really brilliant vibrant shade of green and had an almost catlike quality too them.
As for the rest of her siblings starting with the remainder of her sisters? Sari had indigo eyes with an indigo crescent moon birthmark over her heart, Luna had silver eyes, Lucelia had teal eyes and Hope was midnight blue not jet black with sky blue eyes.
Their brothers? Black was the darkest without any other color to him. Gray had silvery gray ears, Majestic had a black crescent moon on his forehead, Firethorn had blood red eyes, and Lightning had golden eyes.
Furthermore they all had very different personalities that matched up perfectly with their riders that much was for sure. As it seemed to be a good thing that Rider and Dragon had something in common to make a good team.
The Night Furies passed their medical inspection with flying colors and were fitter then fit could be.
Next up was Fishlegs and Heather's son Falcon's dragon Windshear's daughter Silvertip. This wasn't gonna be easy given the overall temperament of a Razorwhip as a result Skullette and Firefang took the lead in giving Silvertip her exam.
The young Razorwhip pretty much in terms of appearance looked exactly like her mommy other than her eyes weren't green. They're aqua blue and shimmered like the sea.
She passed without a problem as well and kindly made way for the next two dragons. Snotlout's twins dragons who were twins two Indigo and Periwinkle who had been named for the shade of blue they were.
It terms of these twin dragons whose mother was named the color of blue she was which was cobalt their personalities were different as night and day. Indigo being the bolder and more a troublemaker one and Periwinkle being more of the ruler follower and less of a risk taker.
Never the less two Nightmares did have a special trick no other Nightmare had claim too. The two of them didn't produce normal fire when they breathed it or flamed up. Their fire was blue just like them. Therefore it burned hotter. That just made them very special.
After these two blue flamed devils got done with their turn the trio of stampeding Rumblehorn made their way to be examined. Up first as it was ladies first was Maya while her younger brother Heimdall and Balder waited impatiently for their turns.
Rumblehorns weren't always very patient and Maya probably at the most impatient brothers in the world. The trio of Rumblehorns were the children of Stoick's former dragon Skullcrusher who'd passed to Eret after his death and become mated to Stoick's daughter husband Orus's dragon Sylt.
They'd three children a daughter named Maya named in honor of Orus's mother and Heimdall and Balder after the Rainbow Bridge watchman and Frigga and Odin's son.
Maya was Ruff's daughter's dragon and Heimdall went to Tuff and Hawly's daughter Merida and their son Harris got Balder.
Maya was the spitting image of her mother Sylt who'd been named for a Valkyrie's Reaping Mare from the last bedtime story Orus ever heard his mom tell him. Heimdall looked exactly like his father. Their youngest brother Balder? His body had his father's coloring but he had his mother lilac wings with the black underside.
After that came Skullette and Firefang's own daughters' dragons Windrider and Medill both were pretty much looked like their beautiful mothers in miniature. They really almost didn't need an exam as they pretty much got one at home almost every night any way.
It would seem all the siblings' children dragons were doing incredibly well. They're very strong, vibrant, energetic and healthy and glowing with beauty and health no doubt about it as one by one they're looked at.
From their own daughters they moved on to Brimstone's son Destin's dragon Firedrake who was his own dragon Ash's only child and son who again looked a lot like his father and grandfather and like his own father had start off on the smaller size. Though he was now fairly well sized for an adolescent Nightmare and doing well in his overall.
Bloodfire's daughter Embla's dragon Shimmertail who was Medill got her name because her spikes did have a shimmering quality was both beautiful and graceful in flight.
Next up was three dragons of the three cousins so up came Haldor's Hertha's and Jary's dragons.
Starting with Sorrel's Breccia's attractive daughter who at least didn't get her mother's deformity rather her beautiful skin tone.
Medill and Shimmertail only brother Twiggy named because his spines look like a birds nest.
And last but not least Rosy who was Scorchclaw only daughter who was just as beautiful as her mother and grandmother with their unusual coloring. She looked like a little princess in Jary's opinion.
Finally satisfied that all of Berk's dragons were in tiptop shape it was time to move on to the Soul Rider's children dragons and Dagur's daughter dragon.
The Soul Riders children had named all their dragons have the color of the gemstone they most resembled. But like all of the next generation they too were of next generation.
Ase and Leif's son dragon Garnet who was Ase's dragon Amber's son was as red as the stone Garnet and was as handsome as his mother was beautiful.
Elof and Tue's adopted daughter Esme who'd been orphaned as a baby Whispering Death was the daughter of her "Daddy" (Elof was called Dad as he was more masculine and Tue daddy as he was more childish) dragon Earth Digger and was named Opal and was that exact whitish blue of opal with colorful specks here and there.
Finally Buttercup and Daisy the daughter of their mothers' Zippleback who was also named after gems of Ruby and Jade and been a mix of those colors those two brilliant red and green colors had a brilliant colored child as well.
On the other hand her daughter Bloodstone and Moonstone had the greenish red of a bloodstone and the bluish grey of a moonstone.
The last dragon to be examined was Spirit who was the Gronckle daughter of Shattersmasher her father's dragon his mate her mother's dragon Chance who was brilliant lime green and azure blue Gronckle.
She'd named her Spirit both because she was a big believer in the spirits and for the fiery spirits of both her dragon's parents and her own. The unique thing about her dragon who did resemble her dad's dragon; Spirit's eyes were like hers. That they'd go from green to blue depending on light and mood.
By the time the dragons were done getting their exams and were all given a clean bill of health their best friends and Riders had returned also given a clean bill of health, though at least all of them had been told one or two things.
Mostly it was little things that you'd typically expect to hear at every single doctor appointment you'd ever go too. Eat more fruits and vegetables, increase the amount of exercise you do and you'd do well to keep your heart healthy as well as make sure your blood pressure doesn't get too high by keep your stress levels down.
"Alright now that we know all your bodies are strong and fit it's time to see how sharp and keen your minds are. So we've all devised a little test to see how well you know your dragon knowledge and your overall knowledge about a few other topics." Hiccup was starting to say when his daughter cut him off.
"Dad! You can't be serious! You're giving us an exam? Like we're in school? Are you kidding me?"
"Yeah, we all thought we're here to learn something cool and start something awesome if we are supposedly meant to save the world and all that. Not sitting in a stone arena taking a test like we are in school," Brant whined too.
"Yeah, where the fun in this? Should we have some fun if we are gonna be heroes like you and Uncle Boden and Aunt Una and everyone else were?" Erico inquired and all the children nodded.
That's when their grandma came striding forward along with the other grandmothers and they casts a series of stern looks at the children who all cringed.
"You'd all better learn this this lesson first and foremost as its lesson number one. So learn it well before we move to lesson number two," started Valka who paused a moment to make sure she'd the whole gathering of children attention.
"What we've to say to all of you is what your parents both those of skin and hair and scale and claw learned long ago. That while life can be fun protecting what you love is serious business." Bloodthorn enunciated very clear.
"And you're all about to be given a huge responsibility. You all have the power to change the world you are now being trained to protect. Not just our own but all worlds. So that great power comes with great responsibility. So get that through your heads right now." Breezy commanded as she two had her arms crossed with a firm look on her face and her eyes unblinking like the rest of the grandmothers.
"We've watched our children struggle and fight and now we're about to watch our grandchildren do the same. Not just us but the dragons too. So you must understand there will be time for fun, laughter and smiles. Though not at this time," Lily started to say when Ewe picked up.
"What you're about to learn is very important. Nothing will be trivial for the slight bit that may seem insignificant could make the difference of life and death. You are now more than friends or family. You must rely on each other like never before."
"If one falls you must pick them up no matter what. You'll have to make some gut wrenching choices. You'll be questioning yourself and worrying yourselves to sleep every night," Romi told them.
"You'll be doing a lot of growing up in a short time. You'll find out a lot about each other and yourselves in a short amount of time. But you'll have to have faith and trust in one another and believe in yourselves and the reason you fight." Remi added her part before turning it back over to Valka.
"For that is lesson number one. Knowing you'll need two sides of everything. Both the good and bad. You'll have to understand both the physical and mental aspects and use them both together. For one alone is not enough. You'll need both together if you wish to achieve the goal expected of you," she explained looking them over one by one with a firm unblinking gaze and then added in a softer tone.
"But please know this truth. We all can be at peace at least since we know it's okay to be afraid. For only a fool is not afraid," she concluded and then looked at the young ones before her and gave it a thought.
"Perhaps you might understand better what your parents and the rest of us are trying to say if we perhaps said in a more fun and clever way. Let's drop a beat and say it the fun way. You know what I mean," she glanced at her children who nodded and all coming to together was the generation before to sing a song to the younger generation about what they'd learned to help get them in the right mood.
"Every night we all mess up and every day we all lose a fight. Even though we still mess up we still need to keep just starting again though we all will still fall down and hit the ground we still need to keep getting up to see what is next.
Dragons don't just fly they fall down and get up because nobody learns without getting it wrong!
So don't give up don't give in till we reach the end then we just start all over again. No we won't leave and we'll try EVERYTHING. Even though we could fail we won't give up and we won't give in till we've tried EVERYTHING.
Look how far we've all come and how much we've filled our hearts with love we've think we done enough so we take a deep breath so we don't beat ourselves up or run to fast so even if we come in last we know we did our best.
Because we've tried EVERYTING even though we could fail we've tried EVERYTHING. Even though we keep making new mistakes each day and keep making them every day we won't give up and won't give up till we've tried EVERYTHING!
TRY EVERYTHING! TRY EVERYTHING! TRY EVERYTHING!"
Well now that the mood at been made lighter by the song and music the younger generation was more in the mood to start their training. Therefore everyone both human and dragon started by taking their quiz which they'd an hour to complete.
It turned out most had sharp minds as well as strong bodies though they still had to make them work together and that still meant starting from the ground up with the basics.
Breaking up into small groups their parents did their best to see what basics the kids and dragons did know and then how well they worked together as teams. Though it soon become obvious of the truth.
There was a great deal to learn and even greater deal to relearn so they'd a long way to go. Since most of them failed at the basic and teamwork? Nada, zip, zilch. There was a lot of commutation problems and they were nowhere close to being truly of one mind and body with each other or truly with their dragons.
"We've a lot of work to do and we've no idea how much time we have to do it in. This is gonna be a real disaster!" moaned Hiccup as the first day was coming to an end.
"You're telling me! And by the looks of things we can't return to our own islands anytime soon. Not with training only just begun. We'll have to all right letters and send them by emergency post that our seconds will have to take over with this ominous threat going on," Dagur pointed out seriously as he and Helena came over after telling Odyis to wait for them at the Bridges with others.
"Dagur brings up an excellent point, Hiccup. By all accounts we should be leaving in the morning to return to our own islands as if this hadn't come up the DHA celebration would've ended today and we'd be leaving in the morning," reminded Ase.
"However, if the danger from the Council of Evil is as great as Frigga foresaw and your father related too you we cannot leave. Not if our children are the only thing standing between life, peace, harmony and death, war, and disharmony.
I don't want to see the COE do more evil. I've heard stories what they've done in the past and the crimes my family told me they'd done or tried to do. It's unthinkable and we must prepare the children to face horrors beyond their own nightmares," warned Helena who eyes flashed from green to blue as she said that.
"I don't know how you know anything about this COE, Helena, but then you've always seemed very knowledge about the ways of the Gods."
"I'm merely sensitive to the energies around us and very intuitive is all Ase. Some of us feel things stronger than others and I just feel things stronger than others," Helena replied simply.
"Well, given how many people I've run into who are gifted I won't knock what you're saying. Still we'll have to send messages back to our islands about the saying till further notice we'll be staying on Berk for an unknown time period."
"I'll take them to the Dragon Post Office to see the messages ASAP. I know how to run the printing press quickly. I'll meet you all back at the house later." Orus step in and Una frowned.
"Don't take too long, beloved. Storm clouds are gather on the horizon."
"I know, Una. All day I've been seeing everyone thoughts in my mind and seeing and feeling everyone thoughts under this amount of pressure is enough to make you feel physical ill. But I'll help them send the post out quickly so they can get back to Guest Island quickly."
"Alright."
While this had been going on down on Berk all day upstairs in Asgard the storms clouds were think and gray and not even Yvaine and Draco had been able to disburse them.
They're once more in the Council Room and all looked paled and tired. Frigga looked close to a nervous breakdown and Odin had to cradle her close to keep her from having it.
"What's wrong, Lady? Stoick and I were at the Viewing Well all day watching how the first day of training went and well…." Kara paused for a moment. "You can't expect anyone to be ready for their destiny the very next day their told of it, can you?"
"Yes, for the first day at least everyone is of strong mind and body and it seems our children are doing well at least got things off on the right foot. And they at least have an idea of how to start. So they aren't flying blind like they did themselves," Stoick tried to point out.
"We like to point out that Berk and the other island whom are a part of the DHA are at least at the moment all safe and secure. Our children all took turns throughout the day with the other dragons patrolling the other lands and all is well." Toothless and Moon Shadow's parents report together.
"And we didn't neglect our own duties to our home either. We still made sure the weather was properly balanced and Aria and Spectrum protected the Spirit Portal, didn't you?"
"Yes, we did. But it was strange and different today," Aria admitted.
"How so?" asked White King softly as he was already sensing it.
"Well, White King no-one and nothing came through the portal. Nevertheless we could feel something trying to break into it." Spectrum announced gravely.
"WHAT?!"
"It is as we feared. The Council of Evil is trying tear apart the very fabric of the Realms and attack the life force of all Realms." Odin spoke in an equally grave voice.
"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" demanded Stoick sharply.
"Yes, please do explain and in terms we can all understand," requested Soulwings.
"Everything in life and death is made up of energy. A life force of both physical and spiritual energy and the very fabric that make up the Tapestry of Creation is the source of all energy of the all the universe.
However there are places throughout the Nine Realms where there is a high concentration of these energies crisscrossing. Berk is one such place as it's a nexus where all the energy of all the Nine Realms both physical and Spiritual along with the Spiritual essence of Dragonkind all intersect and where the Spirit Portal is location.
Someone is trying to disrupt this very complex at the same time delicate flow of energy and if one little thing gets thrown out of balance? It could spell doom for us all."
"It's like your son Boden's Dragon Life Force System. It's a power relay system. Take out one power station one by one and then you cut off the source and no power at all and then everything goes dead and with it all life!" Frigga used a more visual analogy that Stoick could understand better.
"This is very bad. Are you saying by introducing the bad energy it could shut down the energy flow and soon cause all the others to stop flowing?"
"That's only one problem there are many problems that it could causes but they will only get far worse if we can stop this first problem with this negative energy. We could have Realms die and we could even have time freeze!"
"That's very bad! Very bad!" they all cried as the dawning horrors to come hit them but Frigga shook her head before dropping the bombshell on them.
"The very worst thing is that someone could actually get to the Tapestry and then force it to weave it into a pattern it the design of their choosing. Making the world that suits their mind and image. That's the worst they could do.
Become the masters of time, space and reality! That's the worst that could happen!"
And at that moment the blood in all their veins became ice cold and no-one was breathing at all.
