I'm in the front of a flock of twenty dragons. The queen has chosen me as a beta. I have to lead the dragons, I have authority.

Only, if I do one thing wrong, I'll be the queen's next meal. My job is to lead the raids, keep as much order as I can in the nest, and to be the first defender of the nest and it's queen.

" Only the strongest dragon can fulfill this duty" The queen had purred.

The glow of the Vikings village on the nearby island comes into View. The group of dragons behind me start to twitch as the try get ready for a fight for prey.

I separate from the group, a ascending into the clouds. They edge closer and closer to the village, I fly above them with a watchful eye. It's my duty to protect them.

The first few dragons manage to snatch some of the clueless prey. But shortly after the village erupted into chaos as the humans ran out to protect their possessions. Flames engulfed some of the buildings shortly after, along with some dragons being attacked with numerous weapons.

But this isn't what I'm here for. I'm to take out the large towers if needed. And already my assistance would be used.

Vikings had already risen there pillars of fire, others going up to the towers.

I sigh at the thought of having to attack for no reason.

But the others are being attacked, and if they don't bring back good, ten the queen will eat you.

I put on a burst of speed angling myself up vertically. I don't know what I'm doing, but instinct tells me to make a dive at the object. Shooting a powerful ball of fire.

I angle misled down wards, folding in my wings to make my approach more unexpected. The air whistles Past as I use my tail to aim towards the tower. When I'm close enough, I open my jaws sending a powerful burst of fire that explodes on contact.

I snap my wings half open, zipping past the flaming structure. I aim upwards again and flip over to go back down at it. I send a second atomic blow, the structure falling to the ground.

The terrified yells reach my ears as I speed over the village unseen. I swerve around a zipple back as the fly away with a large wooly animal in their claws. A dragon to my left goes down with one of its wings caught in tendrils tied to rocks.

I snap my wings open slowing down dramatically as I come to the edge of the village where no humans are. I land on one of the roof tops of their odd shaped nests.

I watch the action unfold in front of me. I curl my tail around my paws.

This is my third raid. The first one was horrifying, I Haden't thought that there could be so many dragons lives lost in one night. Seeing how the humans can use their weapons was startling at first. But after my second round I'm no longer disturbed by the brutality of this way of life.

Lightflame told me to just ignore it, go with it. Don't think about it too much. Just keep yourself sane he said.

I high pitched wail brings me away from My thoughts. I look around perking my ears trying to listen. The sound comes again louder this time. I track the odd sound with my ears to the nest under me.

What is that? No don't be curious, it'll most likely kill you. But I want to know. But what if I get caught? Meh, I'll fight my way out then.

I move to the edge of the nest and find a rectangular opening. I reach down and climb into the opening entering the home.

The inside is very odd looking, there are weird objects shaped out of wood, and colorful sheets. The sound draws me forward as I trot down some descending steps.

What I find is very interesting. A small little human cries while sitting in a bid filled with colorful sheets.

When it sees me it stops it's wailing to stare at me. I tilt my head in curiosity as I creep closer. I bright pink scar shows on the little humans chin, his large green eyes making the little ones appearance cute.

I take in a breath, a scent reaches my nose that I faintly remember. I sniff again taking in the scent. It clicks in my mind on the day I was in the clearing a long time ago.

" I've met you before," I say happily staring down at the little human who stares up at me a small funny expression on his face. I reach down into his little cage. He puts his tiny hands on my nose.

" Hiccup!" I voice yelled. I jumped back hearing the humans yell followed be the sound of a dragon in pain.

As I run up the steps I hear the little human start to cry out again. I don't look back as I jump through the window.

I let out an ear splitting roar, calling the dragons back. It was time to regroup and head back for the nest.

Despite the fact that I was just as old as the Monstrous Nightmare hatchlings, I still had the energy, imagination, and need to play as that of a little hatchling.

" You young in spirit, immature in flesh, and Wise in mind" Lightflame states as I tackle him to the ground again. The others didn't want to play and Moon is in no condition to play. She was soon going to lay her eggs. I belly is very large with her eggs.

Still she Haden't decided what she wants to do with them. I support her no mater her decision.

I jump out of reach of Lightflame's paws swishing my tail mockingly.

"Alright Darkflame, you win. I think I'm done," Lightflame's says settling to sit on the rock floor.

I sigh sadly that our game was done, but quickly replace it with my instinct to be mature.
