Gobber and Stoick watched as Hiccup and the others left with the youngsters.

"It's still something I can't quite get used to, seeing Hiccup as a father and a Chief. Taking charge and putting his foot down." Stoick said as they watched him leave. "Makes me feel proud but old as well. I'm a grandfather."

"Aye, makes me feel old too Stoick. But that boy of yours has done a great job so far. He's a good father to that boy. Astrid is a great mother too." Gobber thought back to thirteen years ago but said nothing, it was something no one mentioned anymore, mostly in front of Hiccup and Astrid. Sometimes it would still be discussed in hushed whispers but Gobber always restrained from saying much about it, in front of Stoick, Hiccup and Astrid especially.

"That they are. That boy'll do 'em both proud I'm sure of it."

"That new lass your boy found though..." Gobber began and then shrugged.

"What about her? Do you think she has an ulterior motive?"

"Oh probably, but that's not what I'm getting at."

"What are you getting at then Gobber?"

"Well I was watching her, she said that she's not allowed to fight on her island but she learnt behind the backs of those who impose the law. She fought the others; she was helping Finn to improve... Her style of fighting, her strength and such... well it just reminds me of another lass who was determined to prove herself and be a great fighter many years ago..." Gobber glanced sideways to see if Stoick would catch his meaning. He didn't seem to be and looked at Gobber confused.

Gobber sighed.

"And I don't know if you noticed, she's got bright green eyes. Very similar to someone else's..." Stoick continued to look stumped for a minute and then let out a gasp.

"You don't suppose...?"

Hiccup and Astrid landed outside their home. Astrid stared at Hiccup, her blue eyes gazing into him, piercing his very heart with the look she gave him.

"Astrid, take Finn. I want to talk to Camicazi." She glared at him but didn't argue. Camicazi suddenly realized as she flew away, she had the perfect opportunity here, she was alone with Hiccup. She hadn't planned on killing him this soon but if the Gods were giving her the opportunity now who was she to refuse it.

"I'm just going to settle Toothless and then I would like to speak to you. I'd appreciate it if you would wait here. I'll only be a minute." He said gently and then he and Toothless walked up the stairs.

She quickly turned around and began searching for a weapon to use on him when the door opened and a woman stepped into the room. It was not Astrid though.

"So it's you is it?" She asked. Camicazi wasn't sure what she was getting at, if she was even speaking to her.

"Is who what?" She asked.

"It was you who sang the dragonsong last night is it not?"

"Sang what?" Camicazi asked, she had no idea what dragonsong was.

"You sang to the dragons last night did you not?"

"Yes, I did sing to them." She said embarrassed.

"How do you know dragonsong?"

"I don't know what this dragonsong thing is you keep talking about alright? I just sang. The song I sang, I don't really remember how I know it, I just know it. I just sort of, it's like a memory from a very distant dream. Why do you care anyway?" She snapped.

"Because the song you sang is known to very few people, and it has not been heard on Berk for thirteen years."

"So what? I fail to see how that affects me."

"I would like to know where you learnt that song."

"I told you, I don't know. I just know it."

"Well then perhaps you can tell me this... what is your opinion on dragons?"

"I think dragons are amazing, they should be respected."

"Hmmm... Would you step outside for one moment?"

"Hiccup said to stay put." She said, though she wasn't entirely sure why she was obeying, except that she intended to dispatch him when he returned.

"He will not mind, I want to see something." She hesitated so the woman called up to Hiccup "Hiccup, I am borrowing the girl for a minute, I shall bring her back in a moment."

"Sure, her name is Camicazi by the way. She doesn't like being referred to as 'she' or 'girl'" He said peering down and grinning. Camicazi glowered and followed the woman out of the door.

Outside waiting patiently was a large dragon, one that had sat beside her the previous night. It looked up at her and then let out a deep rumble, as if it wanted to tell her something. She couldn't help herself, she stepped forwards and held out her hand for it. The dragon gently placed it's head on her palm and continued rumbling at her.

"Hello to you too." She whispered stroking it gently, she scratched behind the crested ears on it's head and it growled contentedly.

"His name is..."

"Cloudjumper." Camicazi finished, surprising even herself. She looked up at the woman shocked. But the woman simply smiled down at her.

"Sit with me Camicazi." Camicazi did, feeling surprised. She'd spoken to Sparky before, and she felt sure she'd understood him, but she thought it was just because she knew him so well. "My name is Valka. I know what you are."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Camicazi asked panicked, did Valka know she was a Berserker?

"You are a Dragon-Whisperer. You are not alone though."

"I'm a what?"

"A Dragon-Whisperer. You can connect with the dragons in a way most others cannot, you can understand them more easily. Form a bond with them. I am a Dragon-Whisperer, as is Hiccup. It sometimes runs in family lines" Valka told her. Camicazi wondered then, for the first time maybe ever, who her biological parents were. She had never thought about them much since she found out her mother was not her mother when she was five, but knowing that Dragon-Whisperers sometimes came in a family line made her suddenly curious. If she really was one as Valka was suggesting, she must have a family member somewhere who was too.

"Do you really think I'm a Dragon-Whisperer?" She breathed, hardly daring to believe it.

"I am certain of it. The dragons know it too." She said smiling as Cloudjumper nuzzled her. Camicazi grinned and hugged him.

"You said Hiccup is a Dragon-Whisperer too, is he... is he your son?" Camicazi asked curiously. Valka nodded. Yet another thing her father had neglected to tell her, Hiccup had both his parents still. And he was a Dragon-Whisperer. Though her father probably did not know that.

"May I take Camicazi back now?" Hiccup's voice asked softly from behind her. She suddenly felt like she was waking from a dream, she had forgotten for a moment what she had been meaning to do.

"Certainly." Valka said and she gestured to Cloudjumper that they were leaving. The dragon nuzzled Camicazi again before turning and leaving. She followed Hiccup into the house and looked around for a weapon again, trying not to draw attention to herself.

"How long have you been flying?" Camicazi was too busy scouting the room with her eyes to really pay attention to the question.

"Six years give or take." She said and kept searching, there had been axes and swords everywhere yesterday, why were there none now?

"That's quite a while, how old are you anyway?"

"Thirteen."

"So you've been flying since you were seven? Impressive. Who took you flying? Who taught you?"

"No one. I taught myself." Hiccup had sat down but she hadn't really noticed and began walking around the room looking for a weapon.

"Really? That is impressive. I taught myself, but I was fifteen when I met Toothless. Where did you meet your dragon?"

"On the side of a mountain. It was a stormy night, I was out longer than I planned and needed shelter from the lightning and ducked into a cave and there he was."

"How did you train him?"

"I sang. He calmed down and stopped sparking at me. He seemed pretty weak and tired. After I began singing he let me get close to him. But in the end, he came to me." She finally turned around and saw Hiccup was sat down perfectly calmly watching her.

"What sort of dragon is he?" It suddenly struck her that she had been answering his questions without thinking, at all. Now she was in trouble.

"Umm..." She froze, her cheeks flushing. His green eyes locked onto her own and then he did something unexpected, he smiled.

"You really weren't thinking were you?" He was still smiling as he stood up and walked towards her. "I'm guessing your dragon, and your ability to train them wasn't much appreciated back home so you kept them secret."

"Yes. For the most part anyway." She hardly dared to breathe. If she said the wrong thing now, everything would be ruined. Everything.

"Is that why you left? Did they try and hurt your dragon when they found out about it?" Everything seemed to be hitting Camicazi at once as Hiccup stood in front of her, looking down at her with those green eyes that she was sure could see through her.

"They hate dragons. They kill them back home. The only place you find them is in the mountains because usually no human can get there. I went there to learn about them, and then I met Sparky. I trained him. First just with calls and hand signals then after a while I rode him. I kept him secret for three years, afraid of what my father and the others would do to him if they found him. I was used to being hit, it happened often for me. After three years though... Well things changed. My father told me about a vile group of people who locked dragons up and used them. Making them do their bidding at the hands of soldiers with whips and bludgeons. He told me that those people were the ones who killed my mother. It made me angry, I wanted to hurt them. I revealed Sparky to my father..." She didn't know why she was telling him all of this, but now she had started, she couldn't stop. It made her eyes water as she thought about what happened next.

"He said Sparky would be perfect to use against these people, he's very powerful you see. Father wanted to harness that and punish them. But he was not kind to Sparky. I got hit more in the three years that followed than I had been before. I would stand between the whip and my dragon, and then after that I would be punished for interfering. I was forever being hit." Nervously she pushed up the back of her shirt allowing him to see the scars on her back that she usually pretended did not exist. Hiccup stared horrified at the scars; some began to bleed as they caught on her shirt suggesting they were very recent.

"We were travelling to the island of these people when I decided I would not risk Sparky. I broke him out and flew away. He's the best friend I've ever had; he's my only real family. My mother took me in when I was only a baby. She found me. My father never loved me, never cared. No matter how hard I tried to please him, he never cared. And then he hurt the one thing I loved most in the world. I couldn't let that happen. I won't let it happen again." She was crying now. Hiccup looked at the scars on her back again and then at the tears streaming down her face. Without really thinking about it, he crouched down and put his arms around her and hugged her tightly.

"Shhhh, it's ok. Don't cry. You're ok now. I promise." He assured her soothingly, holding her tight and rubbing her back gently as only a father knows how to. Camicazi broke down. Was this how it felt to be loved by another person? To be hugged by a father? To be cared about? It felt wonderful, but yet it just made her feel worse, she was meant to kill him and yet here she was crying uncontrollably onto his shoulder as he held her tight and comforted her. She could not fail in her mission, she couldn't. But the longer he held her, the longer she cried, the more she found herself feeling safe and happy in his arms.

"It's not ok. I'm a failure. The Gods hate me." She sobbed softly clutching at Hiccup as if he alone could keep her safe from the world.

"I used to think the same thing," he said holding her away from him enough that he could look at her. "Then the Gods let me find Toothless... And he didn't just become my friend; he became the friend who gave me my purpose. I wouldn't be here without him. You're too young to believe you're a failure. You just haven't discovered your destiny yet is all."

"I thought I had." She whispered through her tears. "I thought that getting revenge, doing as my father wanted was my destiny... But now, I must be a failure because I don't know if I can do it anymore."

"Hey, it's alright. Revenge isn't usually the answer. Grudges don't have to be to the death. Just ask Toothless" He said grinning. Nothing Camicazi had ever been told seemed to be true, nothing she had ever known held up. She didn't know what was real anymore.

"I don't know what's real anymore. Nothing I was told seems to be true. How can I know what's real when everything I thought I knew was a lie?" She began crying more and Hiccup held her again, hushing her gently. He held her tight and began whispering something quietly, a song, a lullaby of sorts...

The baby looked up at the man standing over her. She didn't know much at this tender age, but she knew he loved her. She felt it when he looked at her with those eyes. Somewhere close by the dragons were purring, she was not afraid of them. The man picked her up, keeping her wrapped up in the blankets he held her close to him and began to sing a strange lullaby, he might have been singing it fairly poorly but she didn't care. The song soothed her and his voice was one she associated with safety and love. The dragons stirred and the black one walked over to where he sat cradling her and stared down at her with bright emerald green eyes. She stretched out a tiny hand which he held with a single finger. The dragon dipped its head towards her and he carefully raised her little hand to touch the dragons' nose. He sang the song all the while. She loved it and knew she would never forget it; the words were engraved on her heart, the tune written within her. Dragonsong. The first lullaby and last lullaby she would ever know...

Camicazi opened her eyes suddenly and stared at Hiccup as she pulled away from him. He looked at her with those bright green eyes. They felt familiar, just as the song had. The faint recollection of infancy. For the first time in her life she recalled her biological family. Her father had sung the same song, dragonsong. And there had been a dragon... She felt suddenly afraid and stepped away from Hiccup. Her fear got the better of her as Astrid walked into the house with Finn. She crashed into Astrid and looked up at her like a frightened child.

"Shhh it's ok. I'm here. It's ok baby." The woman soothed rocking her baby gently in her arms as the dragon lay beside her, the dragon chirped, staring at the baby with her bright yellow eyes. "She won't hurt you. I promise." She placed the baby's hand on the dragon who rumbled happily and the baby recognised the sound, it was the same dragon call she'd heard when she had been in her mother's belly. She looked back into her mother's eyes and stopped crying knowing she was loved.

Astrid stared at her surprised and Camicazi kept backing away, watching both of them a look of terror upon her beautiful features.

"Cami? Are you ok?" Finn asked tentatively. She was growing on him, like the sister he had never known. He hoped she was ok. But as soon as he asked her she looked even more terrified than she had before.

"Are you ok baby?" The little boy asked her as she lay there watching the ceiling, listening to the yelling and fighting. "Don't worry baby. Mummy and Daddy will be back soon." There was another blast and she started to cry. "Don't cry baby sister! I'll go get Daddy!"

Gasping for air, frightened Camicazi ran from the house. She ran as fast as she could when she crashed into Valka.

"Camicazi? Are you alright?" Cloudjumper nudged her and Stoick walked over with Gobber.

"Do you see it Stoick? She looks just like them don't you think?" Gobber asked

"But can it really be?"

Camicazi turned and ran towards the forest as fast as her legs would carry her. She couldn't take this. The thought of having once had a family, of being loved was too much, especially when combined with being shown love and care by the person she was supposed to kill. As she ran she let out a shrieking call that echoed for a long way and then ran to the only safety, the only true thing she had.

Sparky sat up hearing the call, the call of distress. She needed him. But with that call, it would be a miracle if she hadn't been heard by the Night Fury and the people. He grabbed her satchel and weapons in his mouth and flew out of the cove and towards her.
