Vikings ran towards the exit of the arena, panic filling the air. Fire balls rained from the sky and hit a few people and dragons. Caleri shrieked as a flames raced toward her. Sila roared and used her wing to deflect the fire. Caleri ran and Sila scooped her up and they were off. Meridia and Buff followed close as they made their way to the village.
Chaos reigned in there. Rouge dragons burned down houses and Vikings drew their swords. The trio flew and dodged the fighting. They passed Hiccup and Toothless.
"Get to the main hall!" Hiccup cried. Meridia and Buff quickly left but Caleri stayed.
"I can help!" she called to her chief.
"Get going!" was all he said before he and Toothless soared downward. Caleri and Sila hovered there for a few moments.
"I know we can help," the girl told her dragon. Sila's response was to fold her wings and drive. Caleri tightened her grip and the wind flung her hair back. Sila unfolded her wings at just the right second before slamming into a Gronkle. It hissed in fury and shot a ball of fire at the two. Sila easily dodged and bit its stubby leg.
"Why are you defending these two legged monstrosities?" it snarled.
"Because we need them as much as they need us," Sila snarled back. This made the other dragon lunge and they were barely able to avoid its bite. They circled each other and Sila hissed a warning. A sudden roar made everyone turn to the source. A streak of black and blue fire soared across the sky.
"True dragons! Follow me back to the den! We have done enough destruction to strike fear into their heart!" roared a familiar voice. Sila stared at her oldest brother and he glared down at her. As soon as they had come, the rouges were gone.
The Vikings looked at the state of their home. Houses were burned to the ground, entire flocks of sheep were stolen, and many dragons and Vikings suffered from severe burns. Sila's wing was one of those burn cases. The once beautiful silver membrane was now almost black and wrinkled. The healer gave Caleri a salve to rub onto it, hopefully bringing back its normal color. The wrinkling would always remain though, a battle scar for protecting her human.
The village was rebuilt in a few days, and much to Caleri and Sila's surprise, the community had rebuilt her original home as well. That night Caleri had Meridia and Buff stay with her. They laughed and ate while the dragons sat outside and fretted.
"What could Fireeye be planning?" Wingstorm wondered aloud.
"I don't know, will the stars tell you anything, Sila?" Fangmouth asked. Sila shook her head and shot blue fire into the sky.
"Only things that I have already seen. He has amassed a lot of dragons and they believe he is the savior of them all," she growled in frustration.
"What would drive him to do something like this?" Wingstorm whispered sadly.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, I will find out," Sila said.
"I'll help you," said Fangmouth.
"Me, too. I don't want to think of one of my brothers as evil and the demise to humans." Wingstorm looked fondly at Buff. "Especially since one of them is my best friend." Sila and Fangmouth nodded in agreement. They heard wings and looked into the night sky. Toothless and Hiccup landed next to the siblings. Toothless nodded to his children as Hiccup jumped down.
"What's going on, Dad?" asked Wingstorm. They followed Hiccup and Toothless into the new home.
"The Viking elder's on the Wise Islands want to meet with Caleri and you, Sila," he said. Surprise flashed in Sila's eyes and they stopped in front of the teens. Hiccup cleared his throat and they turned to look at him.
"Hiccup! What a pleasant surprise to see you here," Caleri greeted. She offered him a seat which he took.
"Caleri, you have been called by the elders. They are intrigued by you and Sila," he said. Caleri's eyes widened.
"What does this mean?" she asked. Hiccup shook his head.
"I don't know," he sighed. "All I know is they want to meet with you midday tomorrow." Caleri nodded and Hiccup stood. "I should get going, or else Astrid will have my head," he laughed before he and Toothless were gone. Buff and Meridia looked at Caleri in amazement.
"No one has been to the Wise Islands in years," Meridia said in awe. Caleri nodded and rested her head on the table.
"Would you like us to go with you?" Buff asked. Though they couldn't see it, Caleri smiled.
"Sure, I would really like that," her reply was muffled by her arm. She then stood and stretched. "I am going to get some sleep, we will have to get up early to make it to the Wise Islands by midday. The others nodded in agreement and shuffled to the now giant bedroom. With their dragons, the Viking teens quickly fell asleep.
