Hello everyone. I hope all of you are enjoying this story. Could you all take some time to review my chapters? It would mean a lot to me.. And again I am sorry for any grammatical and/or spelling mistakes. I don't have a beta reader..
Everyone looked up toward the intruder, wondering why and how she got there.
Windwalker lazily turned her attention toward Hookfang,"You know, your flames won't work here".
"And why not?!", Hookfang retorted.
"Look around you genius. Haven't you noticed that the temperature is warmer over here? Haven't you noticed the air is thicker and warmer? It's because there is water in the air here. It rains a good amount over here. So your flame trick won't get you far, unless you want to exhaust yourself. Which probably would happen considering how big your arrogance is. Not to mention your ego", Windwalker chuckled.
Hookfang was mad, but quiet as he came to terms with Windwalker's comment. He flamed down as she suggested.
"Woah, it is another Night Fury", Tenor gasped.
"No. I'm a Shockjaw. Of course I am a Night Fury. You don't get out much, do you?", Windwalker replied sarcastically.
Tenor was offended and was about to respond, but Windwalker decided to change the subject.
"So", Windwalker asserted, readjusting herself on the tree limb she was on,"you just don't learn do you? Why are you here?", she addressed to Toothless.
"You know damn well why am I here", Toothless growled.
"Oh yeah, you were the one that tried to catch me. Or should I say, couldn't catch me even if you had your titan activated", she grinned back.
"Well look around you. Does it look like you will be getting away this time", Toothless stated, gesturing to his party.
"Trust me hun. I have faced worse than this", she yawned casually,"If you are here for a rematch, or to reclaim your pride, or whatever it is that brought you here, it won't work in your favor".
"ENOUGH", Re roared out.
This got everyones' attention.
"Look. we are here for one reason: to know the reason behind your attack on our allies' village. And to do that, we need to speak with your rider", Re stated.
"Rider? What makes you think I have a rider?", Windwalker sarcastically replied, clearly amused with the situation.
"I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR GAMES! Your attack on Berk was too organized for a mere pack of dragons to perform. A human had to have planned it out. And it just so happens that our allies here saw a human on your back when the raid happened. Either tell me where he is, or I will execute you for obstruction of justice! As your king, I have a right to do so", Re hissed. It has been 5 minutes since he met her and already he was getting fed up with her.
Windwalker's face suddenly darkened. "If you do that, you wouldn't know the consequences of that action. You don't know what I, or my nest is capable of. Regardless if I had a rider or not, why would I help you out? Why would I give out information concerning the ones I love? What have you ever done for me? Are you suggesting that if any person were to come up to me, clad in shiny armor, I should bend over backwards for them? For people that I don't even know?Tell me, my king, have you even checked up on your so called kingdom? What are you doing to help dragons in need all around the world?", she accused.
Re was quiet at that.
"Do you wanna know why I am talking to you like this? It's because I don't even know you. NO ONE IN THIS REGION DOES. I am not even sure the whole world knows their king and queen. As far as anyone in this area is concerned, you are a stranger, a trespasser. I get informed that in the middle of the night, some unknown group of dragons and vikings land on my shores, and I should just treat them like their one of the family? No. It doesn't work that way. What if you are dangerous? I don't know what you are capable of. How do I know you won't hurt the ones I care about? I am doing what any, smart, reasonable alpha would do. So if you are accusing me of 'obstruction of justice', there would be no justice at all. For you to abuse power, would make you a tyrant, because you would be establishing yourself as the ruler of all, and destroying anything that disobeys your command. No one can rule everything. It would be too much to handle. That is why there are so many alphas. We are here to help guide dragons, to lead them. And for you to just command authority and respect from dragons that don't even know who you are, much less the title you were given, would be asking a fish to fly when he has no wings to begin with", Windwalker concluded.
Everyone was dead silent.
Windwalker jumped down from the tree she was on, making everybody around her jump back defensively. All except the Draconians, who stood their ground.
She got close to Re's face, "If you want respect, you must earn it. And that applies to every living thing, be it dragons or vikings", she seethed.
"Look, we mean no harm to you..girl. We just want to talk, is all", approached Hiccup calmly.
Toothless immediately tried to block Hiccup from Windwalker, but Hiccup was persistent. Windwalker turned her attention to the oncoming human.
"We don't want to fight, or anything. We just want to know why that map meant so much to you guys. I mean, why couldn't you just asked us instead of raiding us, huh girl?", Hiccup replied, pulling out a fish and offering it to Windwalker and placing it on the ground
Windwalker sniffed the fish absently and looked at Hiccup intensely. Hiccup gazed back. They were staring at each other for a good, few seconds before she snorted and pawed the fish back to Hiccup. Her expression softened.
"I appreciate this gesture, human, but I am not hungry at the moment", she rejected.
Hiccup looked at the fish and then back to her.
"Keep it then. If I know anything about night furies, they are always hungry", Hiccup smiled.
Windwalker was shocked at Hiccup negating her negation. She turned to regard Toothless who was eyeing them both warily, "Your human is something else, you know that?". Toothless said nothing in return.
She then focused her attention back to the Draconians, " You see? That is how one approaches a mere human approached me better than all 4 of you com-".
"Look, we are sorry. Cut us some slack, okay? We are just trying to look for our son", Aurora exasperatedly breathed out.
"Oh. Well, why didn't you start with that? This could've gone a lot differently. Anyways, I will help you as much as I can. Although, I have not been informed about any lost hatchlings yet", Windwalker mentioned.
"That's the thing, our son...is your rider", Re replied with strain.
Windwalker tensed up. She looked at Re and then Aurora. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "I didn't think this day would come", she replied shakily.
"I'm sorry for being antsy, it's just-", Re started.
"Save it, I understand completely. My apologies. Follow me, I am sure you want to meet him", Windwalker voiced as she sprang into the air and hovered.
"Definitely", Re said. He turned around to the rest of the group. "Let's go everybody", he announced. All the humans mounted onto their respective dragons, and took to the skies. When they were airborne, they all followed Windwalker's lead.
All below them were thick, tall, green trees. They covered every inch of the ground as they passed. It seemed like it could go on forever. To say it was green was an understatement. It was calm. They passed multiple mountains and valleys. Other dragons would look at them in shock, but once they saw that Windwalker was leading them, they all went back to minding their own business. They angled down a bit as they descended to a small clearing. Windwalker then proceeded to walk into the giant mouth of a cave. They all followed into the cave entrance. As they were walking down a tunnel, many dragons looked at them from smaller tunnels, branched off from the entrance tunnel. Some would hide their children behind them, shielding them from the foreigners. Some would growl at them. Some paid them no mind at all.
'It seems that Windwalker was right. No one knows who we really are', Tenor thought.
At last, the cave opened out into a huge, underground field. It was a substantial plain lined with short grass. It had a few rocks jutting out of the ground here and there, with the tallest rock in the middle. Many smaller caves and tunnels, to destinations unknown, dotted the walls of the inside of the mountain. To say it was an elaborate cave system would be describing it basically. It was so much more than that. The pockmarked tunnels and caves seemed to go on up forever until the reached the very tall cave ceiling. The natural architecture of this cave system resembled a tree, with the smaller caves and tunnels being the branches.
"Welcome to my home", announced Windwalker to the rest of the group,"this is the trunk of our den".
"Where is Chris? Don't get me wrong, this place is beautiful and all, we-", Aurora was cut off by loud roars and an undecipherable yell from up above them.
Windwalker didn't even bother to look up. She folded her ear flaps back against her head. "That would be… your son", Windwalker said embarrassedly. Once again, they followed Windwalker to one of the many caves lining the tall cave walls of the inside of the mountain. Windwalker landed and entered. The cave was big enough for only one dragon at a time, so all the riders had to dismount. The cave happened to be another tunnel which lead to the outside of the mountain. On the side of the mountain, was a vast ledge. So vast that all the dragons had enough room to run around and stretch. On that ledge they saw him. They saw Chris...fighting? with dragons?! Re instinctively moved to stop the quarrel, but Windwalker held up a wing to stop him. "He is in no real danger. Watch", she instructed the king of dragons. Re simply nodded and watched the scene before him.
Chris looked like he was hiding behind some type of wall. He was huffing and puffing and he didn't notice the new arrivals. He was caught up in the moment. This time, instead of wearing his thick, winter coat, he simply had a dark blue undershirt on. He then hopped from wall to wall, which were scattered variously along the edge. On the opposite side of him, were 3 fierce looking dragons. They all seemed to be guarding….. a flag? They all charged him. One of the dragons, swiped a claw at one of the walls,shattering it instantly. She was surprised to see no one behind it. Then she saw movement out of her eye, but alas she was unable to react in enough time, for Chris punched her in the spot between her shoulder and her neck, and she was out like a light. He then jumped over her body and continued forward. The next dragon, a green-yellow looking dragon proceed to swipe his tail at him. Chris jumped over it easily. The dragon then attacked him. Chris effortlessly avoided all of his attacks. It looked like he was dancing with the dragon. When the dragon extended its wing for an assault, Chris took it and pressed down on a certain part of it. The assaulting dragon gasped when that wing fell to the ground instantly. He couldn't move it, but still, that didn't stop him. He was so focused on trying to stop Chris, that he didn't see the last, oncoming dragon heading towards him. The last dragon, a purple looking dragon with long horns, came at Chris, trying to catch him off-guard. Chris pretended that he didn't see him. The last dragon attempted to ram Chris. Chris decided to move away at the last minute, and the two dragons collided with each other with a loud thud. They both groaned in pain and didn't notice Chris approaching them and hitting them in their necks, effectively knocking them unconscious. Chris panted in victory, and swaggered up to the flag and yanked it up into the air.
"So, look at you, all big and mighty because you could retrieve a flag", Windwalker teased, approaching Chris from his side. The rest of the group was stunned to not have noticed that Windwalker left them mid-battle.
"Oh would you shut up and let me have my victory", he retorted grinning. Chris then hugged Windwalker affectionately. She grinned as she pulled back. Her facial expression then faltered a little. "You have visitors, Chris", she told him.
"What do you mean?", he asked puzzled.
Windwalker gestured to the new arrivals with her head.
Puzzlement was on Chris's face when he turned to meet them. Then, his face shifted from confusion to a mixture of horror and shock. He was stiff. He couldn't move a muscle. When Re and Aurora noticed that he was looking at them, they went rigid as well. Everything was still for a few minutes.
"M-m-mom?...d-dad?", Chris choked. He had tears forming in his eyes, threatening to burst out of his sockets.
"Son..", Aurora said with hope and love. Re couldn't say anything, he was overwhelmed with joy and worry. He opened his mouth but had no words. Who knew that the king of all the dragons, could ever shed a tear? Chris ran to both of them at full speed. "MOM!DAD!", he yelled at the top of his lungs. The king and queen of Draconia ran as fast as their forms could carry them, and tackled their son in a tight hug. Re wrapped both of his wings around his human son and his mate, as he and Aurora both nuzzled Chris fondly.
Everyone could feel the love that emanated off the 3; It was strong. The king, queen, and their son, continued to hug. They didn't care who was watching, or how long they were there for. They all had one thought in their minds: Their family was finally complete.
