Hiccup and Bing Bong followed Valka as they went through the rock cave. "Now, hold on! Wait just a minute-" Hiccup yelled, trying to catch up with her, but he wasn't as graceful as his mother. "This way!" Valka whispered, running effortlessly over the boulders. "Come back here! You can't just say something like that, and run off! You're my mother? I mean, what the-" Hiccup had a lost for words at this moment. "D-do you grasp at how insane that sounds?" Bing Bong had to agree with him on that. How could she be his mother? "Come, quickly!" Valka said, as if she didn't hear him at all.

"I have questions!" Hiccup called, grunting as he struggled over the rock. Bing Bong rolled his eyes a bit. not as graceful as his mom, he thought. He walked over to him and pushed Hiccup over to the other side. Hiccup grunted as he landed. "Thanks," he grunted, dusting himself off. Bing Bong shrugged his shoulders as if to say, it was nothing.

"Where have you been all this time?" Hiccup questioned, but Valka had disappeared from their view for a brief moment while Hiccup ranted. "They said that you were dead! Everybody thinks that you were eaten by..." They exited the cavern through an opening, and the duo's eyes widened, their faces full of amazement and shock. What they saw was...

Dragons.

There were hundreds, thousands-no-millions of dragons flying everywhere, and several were flying around a rock tower. Bing Bong was utterly amazed. And I thought that the Red Death's nest was impressive, he thought, still feeling overwhelmed by these dragons. He heard chittering and glanced over to see a group of baby Gronkles playing, and chuckled silently. Kids, he thought again. Another long-necked dragon zoomed up pretty close by them, causing Bing Bong to gasp a bit. There were dragons of every species imaginable (exlcude the Skrill and Night Fury, of course).

Dragon species from Gronkles, Nadders, Timberjacks, Zipplebacks, Thunderdrums, Hotburples, Nightmares, Rumblehorns, and Terrible Terrors, even dragons that Hiccup and Bing Bong had never seen before, all enjoying their luxurious life under the icy ceiling.

It was a virtual dragon sanctuary. A paradise for all dragons big and small.

Hiccup tensed a bit as he turned around, and Bing Bong recognized the four-winger dragon that they had seen earlier. It tilted his head curiously at Bing Bong, who started to feel a bit shy at this new dragon. Valka was poised on her dragon, his wings supporting her up.

"This is where you've been for twenty years?" he asked, his face still shocked. Bing Bong's eyes widened a bit. Twenty years? Living among dragons? That's even longer than me living my new life as one, Bing Bong thought, slightly amazed at this person.

Nod.

"You've been rescuing them?" Hiccup continued, and behind him, another dragon had approached Bing Bong, sniffing him curiously. He shifted away, slightly uncomfortable with all the attention.

Yet another nod.

Hiccup rubbed his hand along his head. "Unbelievable," he murmured. Valka cocked her head at him. "You're not upset?" she asked, slightly concerned. Meanwhile, other dragons surrounded Bing Bong, questioning him about his species of dragon, where he came from, and how he met the human boy in the first place, and where the Queen dragon is now. Bing Bong stuttered a bit, trying to answer all the questions at once, but was still feeling nervous.

"What? No!" Hiccup cried, a bit surprised at her question. "It's just a lot to get my head around, to be frank. It is not every day that you find out that your mother is some kind of crazy, vigilante Dragon Lady!"

Valka chuckled as her dragon lowered her to the ground, and she approached him. "Well, at least I'm not boring, right?" she asked. A dragon came up to Hiccup, nosing him a bit. "Well, I suppose there is that, one specific thing," Hiccup muttered, slightly unnerved at the dragon next to him. Valka smiled at him a bit. "Do you like it?" she asked.

Hiccup smiled again, admiring her Sanctuary. "I don't even have the words," He answered. He heard Bing Bong let out a grunt of unease, and turned around, laughing at the bunch of dragons surrounding Bing Bong, who now was even more uncomfortable.

"I need some room, if you don't mind!" He hissed in dragon language, causing the other dragons to back away, muttering apologies. Then he looked again to see Hiccup's mom approach him. "Oh, he's beautiful!" Valka said in wonder, offering her hand to Bing Bong. He flinched a bit after her actions from earlier, but he only saw gentleness and care in her eyes, and he accepted the hand and nuzzled against her, purring.

"Incredible!" She whispered, giggling a bit at his actions. Bing Bong playfully laid down and curled around her, letting her scratch his tummy, which he enjoyed very much. "He might very well be the last of his kind!" She observed, looking him over.

If only there were more dragons that look like the one I am right now, Bing Bong thought, slightly discouraged at her words. "And look, he's your age!" Valka exclaimed, looking at his head. Hiccup smiled at this. "Wow," he whispered in awe. Bing Bong was amazed at this, too. I never knew that we were the same age, he thought. Valka chuckled. "No wonder you two get along so well!" Bing Bong bobbed his head up and down, and Valka copied him, making gibberish noises that matched his guttural growls. He decided to show her his retractible teeth, which he himself was proud of, being the form of the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself.

Valka gasped. "And retractible teeth! How did you manage to-" Bing Bong nuzzled her again, giving his toothless smile. That's when Hiccup began to feel a bit nervous. Bing Bong eyed him. Just tell her, he told him silently. "I found him in the woods. He was shot down and...wounded."

Valka narrowed her eyes. She walked up to one of the dragons near them. The dragon next to her had his leg cut off. "This Snafflefang lost one of his legs to one of Drago Bludvist's Iron Traps. Bing Bong winced in sympathy. "I'm sorry," he murmured. The Snafflefang just turned his head away, as if he didn't want to talk about it.

She approached another dragon, whose wing was nearly ripped to pieces. "This Raincutter had a wing sliced by razor netting." She gently touched his wing, looking at him. Then another dragon came up, his eyes a milky white color. Bing Bong gasped a bit. This dragon was blind. "And this poor Hobblegrunt was blinded by a tree-snare, and then left to die alone and scared," She said softly, the dragon purring, his skin turning green as he nuzzled against her, recognizing her scent immediately. Valka suddenly noticed Bing Bong's prosthetic tail and inspected it suspiciously.

"And what of this? Did Drago or his Trappers did this, too?" She asked Hiccup, who now was looking guilty. Busted, Bing Bong chuckled silently, seeing an embarrassed look on Hiccup's face as he is forced to tell his mom that he shot him down.

"Hah, crazy thing is, I'm actually the one who...shot him down." Hiccup said nervously. Valka raised a brow at him. Hiccup hurriedly tried something else. "Hey, it's okay, though! He got me back, right bud?" Bing Bong smiled a dragon smile as he nuzzled his brother. "You couldn't save all of me, could you? You just had to make it even. So, peg leg!" he exclaimed, holding his right leg up. The duo played with each other a bit.

Valka smiled again, though it seemed a bit forced this time. "So, what did your father think of your Night Fury friend?" she asked. "Ah, he didn't take it all that well," Hiccup answered, and Valka nodded, as though she knew that was coming. "But then he changed. They all did," Hiccup continued. Valka stared at him increduously.

"Pretty soon, everyone back home had dragons of their own," Hiccup said, finishing his story. But Valka didn't believe him right then. "If only it were possible," she responed, causing Bing Bong to widen his eyes curiously. Why didn't she believe him? he asked himself silently. Hiccup tried talking again, but she beat him to it. "Believe me, I tried as well but people are not capable of change, Hiccup. Some of us, were just born different." Bing Bong looked sadly at Valka, but the jerked as suddenly, he was thrown into a vision of Valka's past. Bing Bong yelped in shock and disbelief. What happened? He thought bewilderedly as he stared at a location that seemed very familiar.

It was Berk, a past Berk when dragons were still enemies, way before he arrived and befriended Hiccup. Everything around him was slightly blurred, almost black and white colors as he realized what this meant. He was looking inside Valka's memories! Dragons soared around the village, Vikings calling out war cries and hoisting the torches. Even though Bing Bong knew that he couldn't be harmed in a memory, he still flinched at the sight of axes and swords. He heard Valka speaking again.

"Berk was a land of kill or be killed. But I believed peace was possible." Bing Bong leaped out of the way as a Nightmare was shot down, hitting the ground hard and a random Viking charging in to finish him off. Bing Bong's eyes slitted and widened in fear, and was about to interfere when he heard another familiar voice.

"STOP! You'll only make it worse!"

A younger Valka had jumped in, stopping the Viking's axe from slicing the Nightmare's life out. Bing Bong's mouth fell open. He could hear Valka's voice telling the story, plus he can see her past self as well. "It was a very unpopular opinion," the voice said, continuing her story. The Viking shook his head at Valka in disappointment, shaking her off and running back to battle. Bing Bong heard another sound, and saw the Stormcutter breaking into Hiccup's house. He felt dread in his heart. No! He thought in terror, fearing for Hiccup's life as he rushed forward, following Valka as she too ran in to save her only son.

He found himself inside the house seconds later, his feet frozen to the ground as the Stormcutter approached, cocking its head at the cradle which held baby Hiccup. "Then, one night, a dragon broke into our house, finding you in the cradle!" her voice continued, and Bing Bong gasped slightly, seeing Hiccup as a month-old tiny baby, clutching the claw of the Stormcutter, thinking that it was his playmate. "Hiccup," He whispered softly, gazing at his brother still a baby. But then he heard Valka accidentally step on a creaking board and the Stormcutter growled, turning to her and not knowing it made a nick in baby Hiccup's chin that would become the year-old scar. Baby Hiccup began to cry.

Bing Bong wanted to help, but he couldn't for it being only a memory, and had no choice but to watch Valka stare in fear and slight awe as the Stormcutter gazed into her eyes, some sort of wisdom hidden there, as the two looked at each other.

"This wasn't a vicious beast. But an intelligent, gentle creature, whose soul reflected my own." Bing Bong relaxed a bit, seeing that the dragon didn't look at all dangerous as it did before. But it was soon gone as an axe landed out of nowhere, and Stoick's mighty voice rang through the house as he attacked. The Stormcutter roared as he shot fire at the Chief. "Valka, run!" Stoick yelled, as he leaped out of the way of the flames. Valka tried stopping the dragon. "No, don't!" she pleaded desperately.

The dragon turned his head sharply glaring at her. She backed away in fear. Bing Bong dreaded at what would happen next, for he never knew what had happened to Hiccup's mom. "Hold on!" Stoick yelled, landing near the cradle and scooping Baby Hiccup into his big arms. He tried to save Valka as well, but it was too late as the dragon suddenly snagged Valka in his claws and carried her away into the sky. "NO! STOICK!" Valka screamed, her desperate voice haunting Bing Bong's ears as her cries faded into the night. He really wanted it to end so much! It was just too sad!

Stoick stared helplessly as his wife disappeared with the dragon. "Valka..." he whispered, despair in his voice as his beloved wife was gone forever. Bing Bong shut his eyes tightly, wanting this haunting vision of the past to end.

He opened his eyes to find himself back in the dragon sanctuary again, and he sighed with relief, though the whole thing was still in his mind. "You and your father nearly died that night. All because I couldn't kill a dragon," said Valka sadly, turning her head away. Hiccup smiled a bit. "Yeah, well, it runs in the family." Bing Bong couldn't help but chuckle a bit at that. Hiccup continued speaking. "So, how did you survive?" he asked. Valka continued to talk as her Stormcutter approached Bing Bong.

"What is your name, Night Fury?" he asked, with a slightly elderly voice. "I'm Bing Bong," he said. The Stormcutter nodded. "I'm Cloudjumper," he answered, smiling. "But something happened," Bing Bong said, Cloudjumper's head tilting in confusion. "When she was telling her story, I was suddenly seeing a flashback of an old Berk, and witnessing you taking her away. It was just so confusing, I just don't know how it happened." Cloudjumper studied Bing Bong a bit.

"Well, maybe the reason why is that somehow, you have a special ability that lets you see into other people's or dragon's minds in a sudden moment. And you were sent back in time that way." He explained. Bing Bong nodded. "That maybe," he murmured. "Come, I want to show your our King," Cloudjumper said, leading him to a watery valley, which held the most magnificent, and enormous dragon that Bing Bong had ever seen, possibly bigger than the Red Death.

"The Great Bewilderbeast," Valka introduced, showing the snowy-white Tidal Class dragon in it's watery throne. "The Alpha species. One of the very few that still exist."

A few dragons flew down in front of the mighty king dragon and bowed respectfully to him, and he let out a slow soft rumble.

Hiccup was amazed at this great being. "Every nest has its Queen but this is the King of all dragons!" She waved her staff at the icy ceiling. "With his icy breath, this graceful giant built our nest. A safe haven for dragons everywhere." Hiccup looked a bit shocked when she mentioned 'icy breath'.

"Wait, that's the ice-spitter? He's the one who was causing all the destruction?" he asked. Valka looked at him. "He protects us," she explained. "We all live under his care and his command." Then a few baby dragons flew up toward Bing Bong, squeaking excitedly at him. Bing Bong backed up slightly at these feisty young ones, and Cloudjumper shooed them away letting out a soft roar. He shook his head at Bing Bong, chuckling. "Kids," he said, smiling. Bing Bong smiled back at him as he watched the baby dragons crawl over the Bewilderbeast. "All but the babies, of course. Who listen to no one!" Valka laughed as the two watched the baby dragons known as Scuttleclaws.

The Alpha suddenly sensed their presence, and lifted his great head up to Hiccup's level, eyeing him curiously. Bing Bong bowed his head respectfully to him. He's even better than the Queen, he thought with relief.

Hiccup stared in awe at the Alpha's giant face as he studied this new human and Night Fury with curiosity. "I have lived among them for twenty years, Hiccup. Discovering their secrets," Valka explained, then laughing as the Bewilderbeast blew a gentle puff of ice at Hiccup, messing up his hair. Bing Bong laughed, too. He just looked so funny. "He likes you," she said, smiling. "Wow," Hiccup whispered, amazed that he was actually accepted by this great being.

"You must be hungry," Valka noted, looking at him. Bing Bong then realized that they hadn't eaten all afternoon, and he was dying for a basket full of fish (exlcuding eels, of course).

"Uh, yeah. I can eat," Hiccup said.

"Good. It's feeding time," Valka said as they walked over to the other side of the Sanctuary.

Bing Bong then smiled mischievously as he suddenly bounced over to Cloudjumper and snuck underneath one of his wings. Cloudjumper's eyes widened as he looked around, spotting Bing Bong under his wing.

"What did you do that for?" he asked suspiciously.

"Uh, nothing," Bing Bong answered, feeling a bit sheepish.

Whew! A nice long chapie for you all! It took me like three days to write this thing, and I am so glad it is finally done! :) As you can see, I decided to give Bing Bong a special ability to see flashbacks of someone's mind as they are telling their story, which is very interesting.

Can't wait to see what you guys think! See you in the next chapter!
