Soon The Night Fury jumped out of hyperspace and headed straight towards Berk. Its crew were quite satisfied after the victory over Balmorra.

"I can't wait to celebrate!" Snotlout yelled enthusiastically, he then leaned over to Astrid. "What you say we paint the town red, babe?"

"If you call me baby one more time hoping the town red with your blood," Astrid warned.

"Easy, Astrid," said Hiccup calmly. "Let's not spoil this happy occasion with more bloodshed."

"Can't wait to see my family," said Heather smiling. "Wait until I tell them what we did on Balmorra."

"I'm just grateful that were back safe and sound on Berk," said Fishlegs.

"Then I hate to tell you, Fishlegs, but the twins are planning on throwing a fireworks party," said Ragnar chuckling slightly. "And I don't need to tell you how big those fireworks will be."

"Oh, no," Fishlegs groaned.

"Listen, we just scored a major victory against the First Order and that's good enough for me," said Astrid.

However, when the entered into the planet's atmosphere they found many islands burning.

"Oh, no," said Astrid.

"What happened?" said Hiccup as he stared at the island horrified.

"We're getting a transmission from the capital," said Fishlegs.

"Patch it through," said Hiccup.

Then appearing on the holo-projector was Stoick, whose face looked grim.

"Dad, what happened here?" Hiccup asked.

"The First Order launched a surprise attack that court is completely offguard," said Stoick.

"How did they get past the fleet?" Astrid stared.

"They must have been monitoring our defences for quite some time and found a gap," said Stoick. "Small enough for a small squadron of bombers to enter into the atmosphere undetected. They bombed a few islands and then left as quickly as they came."

"Which islands were hit?" Astrid asked.

"Only a small islands which how civilian housing," said Stoick. "I believe that this was nothing more than a demonstration of what a Resistance victory would look like."

"We can't let this stand," said Astrid firmly.

"And we won't," said Stoick. He then turned and looked at Heather with a more grim face. "Heather, there's something you should know."

"What?" Heather asked.

"One of the islands that was attacked was where are your parents lived," said Stoick. Heather's eyes widened, for she knew what Stoick was going to say next and knew it would be devastating. "I'm sorry, but your parents are dead."


Once they landed they entered into the command centre and began going over the attack, trying to find out who led it.

"Clearly a Sith was leading the attack," said Hiccup as he monitored the movement of the bombers from the holo-pad. "Only a Force Sensitive could manoeuver his squadron so close into enemy territory."

"While that means it comes down to Viggo, Ryker and Dagur," said Ragnar.

"I think we can safely rule out Ryker, he's more ground assault than a pilot," said Rex.

"And Viggo would never get his hands steady for something so trivial," said Hiccup.

"Trivial!" Heather roared. "They just attack Berk!"

In her frustration she accidentally used the Force and sent Snotlout flying right into a computer console.

"I'm all right!" he groaned.

"Heather," said Ragnar warningly.

"I'm sorry, but don't you dare say that this was trivial," said Heather.

"A poor choice of words," said Hiccup. "Viggo would consider this operation a waste of time and resources. No, whoever had to do it had to be powerful and may be a bit crazy."

"Dagur," said Ragnar. "You think Dagur did this."

"Yes, I've studied the fighter that led the attack," said Hiccup as he brought up an image of the TIE fighter leading the bombers. "It's the same one Dagur usually try to chase us when we escaped Dromund Kaas."

"Good, then I know who to kill," said Heather.

"Heather, vengeance is not the Jedi way," said Ragnar.

"I'm not looking for vengeance I'm looking for justice," said Heather firmly.

"Heather, you're letting your emotions control you," said Ragnar. "If you let them consume you you'll your full prey to the dark side."

"I just want to make sure he doesn't do the same thing to someone else as he did to me," said Heather turning her back on Ragnar. "If it was your mother that had been killed, would you want to make the ones that kill her pay?"

Ragnar actually stood silent for moment.

"Heather, Ragnar's mother was killed by Tusken Raiders eight years ago," said Hiccup.

Everyone then turned their eyes onto Ragnar, who continued to stand there in silence.

"Then you know why you must do this," said Heather.

"I do, but you're going about it in the wrong way," said Ragnar as he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Heather it's clear that you and Dagur will clash and we now have no idea who will be triumphant, this may very well be a turning point."

"You mean if she loses control she could end up dead," said Astrid as she walked up.

"Or else turned to the dark side," said Ragnar. "I think we agree that we do not want either of them to happen."

"Then what do you suggest?" Heather asked crossing her arms. "I refuse to stand around and do nothing."

Ragnar looked at Hiccup. "Ragnar, you have to do it. Especially after the events of today."

Ragnar nodded and then looked at Heather. "Come on, we can take The Scuttleclaw."

Looking slightly bewildered Heather followed Ragnar out of the command centre and then Astrid turned to Hiccup, equally as confused.

"Where are they going?" she asked.

"A place where Ragnar can hopefully help Heather," said Hiccup.


Ragnar was now piloting The Scuttleclaw with Heather behind him, who was still confused about what was going on.

"I gonna tell me what's going on or do I have to guess?" Heather asked.

"The test," said Ragnar. "A test to see that you may become a Jedi."

"Isn't that where you were trained me to become?"

"There are many tests, before a Padawan can become a Jedi, one of many things is the spirit," said Ragnar as he placed the ship on autopilot and sat opposite her. "Heather just before the Clone Wars I got troubling images of my mother dying and I had to return home to investigate."

"Astrid told me about your past," said Heather rubbing the back of her head. "Especially the part when you were a slave."

"Many guests she heard it from Hiccup," Ragnar grumbled. "I suppose my past would come out in the open eventually, but what I'm telling you happened after I left Tatooine. My Master told me that I needed to go there so that I could face a trial, a trial to see if I become a Jedi."

"And that trial was the reaction of what you would do to the Tusken Raiders that killed your mother," Heather guessed.

"Pretty much," said Ragnar. "Let me tell you I wanted revenge for what they did to her, but before I could draw my lightsaber something stopped me, I can't explain what, it felt like another present was in the tent. That presence somehow calms me and I left the tribe with my mother's body without a single drop of blood."

"Is that how you became a Jedi Knight?"

"Yes," Ragnar nodded. "And you facing Dagur could be your test to see if you can become a Jedi Knight."

"So do we go for this test?"

"That's what you're gonna tell me," said Ragnar. "As you know before the Clone Wars there were around ten thousand Jedi Knights defending the Galaxy, but in those days we had small outposts. Temples, spread out from across the stars. When the Galactic Empire came to power they destroyed many of these temples and it's possible that the First Order knows their location as well and they destroyed many of them, but not all. I need you to meditate, let the Force guide you to one of them."

"What if I can't find it?"

"That's part of the test," said Ragnar. "Trust yourself, trust the Force."

Heather nodded and closed her eyes and concentrated. "So how old were you when you took this test?"

"It was different from me, Heather, everything was different back then," Ragnar sighed. "All that remains now is the Force…"

"And only my connection to the Force can lead me to the temple," Heather finished.

Ragnar smiled. "See, you're already in touch with the Force."

Heather then concentrated on everything around her trying to find the temple that she needed to go. She then saw the image of what she assumed to be the temple that was calling to her.

"I see some sort of cove. With a tunnel, I think. And a bright star inside of it," said Heather as she tried to make out the images rushing through her mind. She then opened her eyes instead at Ragnar. "It's here on Berk."

"You sure?" Ragnar asked.

"I can't give you the coordinates, but I can direct us there, I know I can," said Heather and she began to take a seat in the pilot seat.

However, the moment she looked out the window she saw a cove. It was beautiful and serene with a small lake in the middle with waterfall running down it. It looked exactly like the co-she saw in her vision.

"The Cove from my vision," Heather gasped.

"Autopilot disengaged," said Ragnar leaning over and pressing a few buttons.

Heather stared at him. "You're already new?"

Ragnar just smiled as The Scuttleclaw landed within the Cove.

"I checked my Holocron before we left," said Ragnar as he got up.

"What say a Holocron?" Heather asked as she followed him outside.

"A Holocron is a Jedi artefact, we use them to store information, messengers, hidden techniques and maps," said Ragnar. "A Holocron is the most secure item in the known galaxy, for only a Jedi can access them."

"You mean a Sith can't?" Heather blinked.

"No, you see Holocron operate by the belief of the Jedi and Sith believe in something completely different to us," said Ragnar.

"I still can't believe the Holocron told you that there was a Jedi Temple here," said Heather.

"The Holocron holds extensive star maps, but I was a surprise as you that there was a temple here," said Ragnar. "Of course, I couldn't be sure this was where you meant to be, but it's not uncommon for Jedi to return to their homeworld for the test. Now, you better figure out how we get inside."

Heather nodded and they made their way deeper into the Cove. She had read about this cove before, it was said that Stoick's ancestor, to what went by the name of Hiccup, became the first Dragon Rider in this very Cove. Now that she knew that a Jedi Temple was located she wasn't entirely surprised, for it made sense that Stoick ancestor was Force Sensitive and that's how he can with the dragons.

However, she couldn't find a tunnel in her vision and there was no indication of one ever been built. She turned and saw Ragnar sitting cross-legged just in front of the lake.

"Nothing!" said Heather. "No sign of an entrance! There's not even any indication that there is a temple here, but I know this is the place! I feel it! Can't you give me a hint?"

"Don't look, listen!" Ragnar yelled. "Use the Force to listen to the Cove and its story."

Heather looked at the lake and fought she sent something within it. She then pressed her hand into the water and concentrated hard and just like in The Scuttleclaw she sense something.

"The water," said Heather. "The temple, it wants to admit me… no, not me… us. Master and Padawan. Together."

"Then together it shall be," said Ragnar.

The two of them are then stood in front of the lake and extended their hands. Together they concentrated with in the lake and slowly something began to emerge from within it. It looked like a passageway that led down deep into the ground.

"Whoa," Heather breathed.

Ragnar smiled. "I know, I felt the same way when I perform this test."

They soon entered into the passageway and walk down until they reach the central chamber with pillars rising from the ground and touching the ceiling. Just beyond there was another door, but it was so dark they couldn't see beyond it.

As they walked deeper into the chamber Heather noticed several skeletons wearing Jedi robes in a meditation position next to the pillars.

She then looked at Ragnar. "Are those—?"

"Jedi?" Ragnar finished. "Yes, but there may be much worse in store for you. You'll have to face against your worst fears and overcome them… and there's no guarantee of success."

"I have plenty of faith," said Heather. "Faith that you'll keep me on track."

"I'm not going with you," said Ragnar.

"What?" Heather stared. "Where are you going to be?"

"Right here, with them," said Ragnar gesturing to the skeletons. "Masters who's Padawans never returned."

Heather stared at him. "You're putting your life in my hands?"

"You put yours training in mine," Ragnar pointed out.

Heather turned and looked down the tunnel and she could sense something powerful and frightening deep inside it. She however knew that she had no choice but to enter and entered into the tunnel.

"Good luck," said Ragnar.

The moment Heather entered into the tunnel the door began to close and she quickly turned to Ragnar, hoping for one last piece of advice. "Wait, what am I looking for?"

"Nothing… and everything!" Ragnar yelled.

"That doesn't help!" Heather yelled.

"I know," said Ragnar as he took a meditation position just as the door closed trapping Heather inside the tunnel, "but that's what my master told me."


Heather looked at the door and could see there was no way of moving it. She then looked down of the tunnel and hopes that there was another way out deep inside it.

She kept on walking until she reached a chamber with several passageways, but she had no idea which one to take. She then remembered Ragnar said about trusting the Force.

"Let's hope this works," she said as she closed her eyes.

She then allowed the Force to guide her hand and pointed down one of the passageways. When she opened her eyes she knew instantly that was the passage she had to take.

As she walked deeper into the passageway she could sense something dark and frightening as she descended. It was awful familiar, but she couldn't quite place it and then she saw a beam of red appearing in front of her.

Her eyes widened as she saw Dagur standing in front of her with a mysterious look. "I sense a disturbance in the force, the moment Ragnar decided to bring you here," he said.

"You?" Heather snarled.

"My, my, aren't we temperamental," Dagur smirked.

"You killed my parents and I will avenge them," said Heather.

"Vengeance is not the Jedi way," said Dagur as he pointed his lightsaber. "You don't know it yet, but you and I am more alike than you think."

"I'm nothing like you!" Heather yelled and the readers her lightsaber, but instead of it being blue it was red instead.

"See, you're fine close and close to the dark side and soon you will fight alongside me," said Dagur as he raised his lightsaber.

Heather didn't had time to contemplate why her lightsaber was different and raised it to block Dagur's attack. Dagur then activated the two blades on the valves, he then pulled away and slashed at her.

Heather ducked and tried to thrust her lightsaber at him, but he easily blocked it with his own blade. She then tried a backward swing, but again he blocked it with ease. He then used the Force to push her backwards and began to press his attack by swinging his blade.

Heather did her best to dodge the swipes, but they were getting too close to a head. In fact one of them would have sliced her head off she hadn't raised her blade to block it, but the impact caused her to lose her balance and she toppled over.

Dagur looked down at her. "You're out of balance, you're letting your anger control you yet more proof that you are fallen to the dark side."

"No, I won't become like you," said Heather firmly.

"You have no hope of becoming a Jedi, your master is a joke," said Dagur as he pointed his blade at her.

"I trust Ragnar with my life," said Heather firmly.

"And yet he doesn't trust you with everything, he still has not told you the truth," said Dagur.

"The memory was just too painful for him."

Dagur laughed. "I'm not talking about how his mother died, and talking about what he's hiding from you."

Heather had no idea what he was talking about, but she knew that if Ragnar was keeping a secret from her then it was for good reason.

"He must have his reasons for keeping secrets from me," said Heather as she got her feet. "I trust him when he trusts me, but that doesn't mean I should know everything. I have to trust that he knows what he's doing, like when he put his trust in me with this test."

"Are you willing to risk your life on that?" Dagur asked.

Heather just stood there and looked at him with a firmed look. "Yes."

Dagur then raised his lightsaber and have a close her eyes just as he swung it down towards… but she felt nothing. When she opened her eyes she found that Dagur was gone and she was in a chamber similar to the one she and Ragnar entered.

She then fell to the floor completely exhausted, she was sure she could pass this test and if she did Ragnar would die. If it was only her life in danger then she could accept that, but what she can't accept was Ragnar putting himself in danger on her behalf.

"You're one step close of becoming a Jedi," said a voice.

Heather opened her eyes and saw a woman in her fifties standing over her. She had auburn hair that was tied in three braids that ran down her back and her eyes were sky-blue. She was wearing armour and attached to a belt was a duel-bladed lightsaber.

Heather looked to her more closely and saw a resemblance between her and Hiccup. Her eyes then widened as she realised who this woman was.

"Valka?" she asked.

Valka nodded. "You have faced many fears and you've managed to control your anger."

"But I feel as if I've only just begun," said Heather.

"There will be many more tests, but only you can decide if you are ready to carry on," said Valka.

"I am," said Heather firmly.

"Then this way," said Valka gesturing to a door which began to open up.

Valka then transformed into balls of light and went through the doorway. Unsure on what else to do, Heather followed her deeper into the temple.


Meanwhile, Ragnar was still meditating in the main hall, but he was starting to get worried.

"Heather is taking too long," said Ragnar as he got up.

"Patients," said a voice. The voice was old, wise and very familiar to Ragnar. "Remember you nothing of your own training?"

Ragnar's eyes widened. "Master Yoda?"

"Yes, I it is," said Yoda. "See you, I can. Changed, something has you."

"Yes, I've taken a Padawan," said Ragnar.

"An apprentice?" said Yoda. "And now master, are you?" Ragnar then looked to the passageway where Heather had entered. "Of this decision, honest you must be."

"Heather is skilled, I won't deny that," said Ragnar. "But the thing that frightens me most of all was that if she discovers the true that she might fall to the dark side and I don't know there's anything I can do to stop it."


Meanwhile Heather were still following Valka deeper into the temple, but stopped when they reached the pedestal. When she got close to the pedestal she noticed tools and components laying around.

"What is this?" Heather asked.

Valka soon return to a normal form. "Yet another test, to see if you can truly become a Jedi."

"What must I do?" Heather asked.

"You must create your own lightsaber," said Valka.

"But I've already got my own," said Heather holding out her lightsaber.

"True, but that lightsaber has a dark past and it is to be cleansed of it for it to reach its true potential."

"You're talking about me, aren't you?"

Valka smiled. "You're definitely strong with the Force, my dear. Yet, since more powerful feelings coming from you and they seem to be focused around your master. Though those feelings go beyond master and student, I do think that you have strong feelings towards him."

Heather didn't quite know how to answer this, but she knew she had to be honest. "Yes, I do have feelings for him… and I also know the Jedi cannot have attachments."

"True, but sometimes the old rules need to change for one to survive," said Valka. "I sometimes wonder if I made the right decision of leaving Stoick. At first I thought it would be best, but after the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War I began to wonder what would have happened if I decide to stay."

"Where are you?" Heather asked.

"A good question, but for another time," said Valka. "But be assured, that I will show myself when the time is right."


"A dangerous time it is for your apprentice… for you," said Yoda.

"I know," Ragnar agreed. "I can sense it, if she discovers the truth about Dagur she might fear that she will become him and as we know fear is the first step to fall into the dark side."

"Afraid, are you perhaps?" Yoda asked.

"I won't deny that I'm not concerned about her safety," said Ragnar. "But I'll do whatever it is in my power to make sure that she does not fall to the dark side."


Heather then turned to the pedestal and then placed her lightsaber on top of it. She then knelt down and sat in a meditation position and began to concentrate.

As she did so her lightsaber floated into the air and began to disassemble and then the components on the pedestal rose into the air. Heather did not open her eyes, but continue to concentrate on the image she wanted her lightsaber to become.

After several minutes she opened her eyes and saw her new lightsaber. She extended her hand and the lightsaber floated into a hands. She examined it and saw that it had a crest of the Razorwhip on its hilt. It was a beautiful metallic grey colour and when she activated it two blue blades appeared on either side of the hilt.

"Well done," Valka smiled.

"Valka, is Ragnar hiding secrets from me?" Heather asked.

Valka frowned. "Yes… but in order to protect you, he simply fears that telling you now would endanger you and possibly cause you to fall into the dark side."

"I don't need protection, I need honesty."

"I can only advise you so far, but what I do know is that you need to put your trust in your master… like he did to his."

"I do trust him, I'm just more worried about what secrets he's holding and how they could affect me."

"Then don't," said Valka. "He'll tell you when you are ready to know and when he does you'll understand why he kept them secret."

"At the moment I'm angrier at the First Order, who took my family," said Heather. "Who enslaved other people, indoctrinated them into their services."

"So, the Jedi ways revenge, is it?" said Valka. "Did Ragnar teach you that?"

Heather shook her head. "No. Ragnar would never… he's a good master, a great master."

"Then why do you seek revenge?"

"I don't," said Heather.

Valka frowned. "Inside I sense much anger, much fear."

"I just want to protect myself and my friends."

"And this is why you must be Jedi?"

"Yes… and not just them, but everyone. I'll protect everyone," said Heather. "How do whatever it takes to make sure that no one else suffers the same way I have, but not for vengeance. I'll do it, because it feels right."

"So what do you truly feel?" Valka asked.

"Happy," said Heather as she stared down at her new lightsaber. "They feel happy and hopeful, because they can see another joyous day."

Valka smiled. "Congratulations, Heather. You've passed the test. Your face a difficult path ahead and many more tests await you, but if you pass them they'll make you stronger."


Ragnar was still meditating in the chambers and then he looked at the moment the passageway opened up again. Then walking of the doorway was Heather and he smiled at her.

"How are you?" he asked.

"Different, but the same," said Heather.

Ragnar smiled. "I know what you mean."

The two of them looked at one another and began to move closer to one another. Almost as if the instinct for guiding them the two of them placed their lips against one another and fell into a deep passionate embrace.


A few minutes later they emerge outside of Temple after the two of them discussed what they encountered.

"So you actually saw Valka and she helped you to create a new lightsaber," said Ragnar.

"Yes, but when I asked her where she was she so that you will show a when the time was right," said Heather.

"Then we'll have to trust her judgement," said Ragnar.

The moment they stepped out of the temple it began to sink back into the lake. When it was completely merged into the lake and there was an evenly traced that there was a temple there.

"It's strange that it's just here," said Heather.

"And it will be for now," said Ragnar. "And hopefully it will be here long after you when I gone."

"I still miss my parents," said Heather looking at her feet. "But I also feel as if they're right here beside me."

"The Jedi teach that life doesn't end at death, but merely chains form in the Force," said Ragnar. "Your parents are alive with you, Heather. They will be… all ways."

The two of them then wrap their hands around each other and then made their way back to The Scuttleclaw.
