In this chapter, Hiccup kind of upsets Cloud and then Astrid hits a raw nerve in her but Cloudjumper and Toothless help her feel better.
That next morning, Valka was deciding to teach Cloud to be a dragon rider like Hiccup and the others as she loved being around the other dragons but shy around people and needed to help her, as she was with Cloudjumper but talking to her.
"You're gonna let me be a rider, like Hiccup?
I hope I can, and be as strong as you." she told her.
Valka smiled knowing others had thought little of Cloud because she can't see but that didn't bother her or Cloudjumper nuzzling her.
They were eating breakfast and Valka saw Hiccup already up but had been riding on Toothless since he was going to be busy doing chief things and meaning the Night Fury would probably be at the sanctuary with her and Cloud.
"So, how is she, Cloud I mean?" he asked her seeing Cloud with Toothless.
"She's fine but I know inside, there is a powerful rider in her.
She just needs time and to know she can trust others, as many had written her off but she trusts me." Valka told him seeing Cloud with Cloudjumper.
Hiccup was willing to try and bond with her as Valka sighed, knowing that it wouldn't work seeing Cloud flinch as Hiccup rested a hand on her shoulder, as she turned around roaring, baring her teeth the way dragons did with intruders.
"Don't do that!" she said as he was scared.
"Sorry if I scared you, but I just want to help you." he said.
"I don't need you, the dragons are my family!" she said.
Hiccup sighed as he saw Toothless nuzzle him, and then Cloud to calm her down.
"I'm okay, bud but worried about Cloud, as she needs us a lot, well you and Cloudjumper as she listens to you guys." he told him but Cloud had flown off on C,oudjumper.
Valka Noticed that while helping at the sanctuary that Cloud was quiet and knew that Hiccup's attempt to befriend her hadn't gone well but knew Cloudjumper would help her cool down, as some of the babies were around her.
"It's nothing really, Hiccup doesn't get it.
I lived among you guys for so long, that I'd rather be with you guys than people, as you guys don't care if I'm blind unlike people." she said as Valka frowned but understood.
She had lived here for twenty years among the dragons she loved and protected and felt like she couldn't trust people because they wouldn't listen to her except for Cloudjumper seeing Cloudjumper give Cloud a worried look, hugging her.
"I'll be okay Jumper, I just need time." she said wiping away tears.
The female Stormcutter dragon remembered the song Valka had sung remembering how it went singing in Dragonese which Cloud understood feeling soothed while in Cloudjumper's wings making Valka smile.
She knew that soothed Ckoudjumper when she couldn't sleep so knew it was helping Cloud knowing that she should help her try again with Hiccup seeing Cloudjumper agree making Cloud sigh.
She hoped that Valka was right deciding to go flying as they were on Cloudjumper and enjoying the ride as the wind blew through their hair landing in town seeing Hiccup and the others impressed but Cloud was hiding behind Valka's back.
"Wow, that was impressive!" Astrid said but saw Cloud as well.
Hiccup had told her about his cousin and how she was raised by dragons making her and the others understand but Cloud was with their dragons smirking.
"They are very impressive, despite being different." Cloud said softly.
They were stunned hearing her talk.
"Wow, so you can talk, like us?" Hiccup said.
Valka knew Cloud was very shy around humans except for her making the others curious about her.
"She's my cousin who is blind but raised by dragons from infant hood so it's why she's more comfortable around dragons." Hiccup told them.
Fishlegs was amazed hearing this being a dragon nerd and Berk's resident dragon expert besides Hiccup, wanting to get to know her, hearing Cloud growl making him flinch.
"How're you gonna help her, as she seems like a challenge?" Astrid asked but Valka saw Cloud tremble at that, knowing Astrid had hit a raw nerve.
"Cloud!" she said as Cloudjumper and Toothless understood.
Both dragons were going after the girl finding her in the forest under a tree hearing sniffles as what Astrid had said had upset her, as it reminded her of all the people who had written her off as nothing.
Cloudjumper wrapped her wings around her as Toothless was beside her, nuzzling her.
He hated seeing Hiccup upset or angry, and now Cloud since she was related to his brother seeing her wipe tears away hearing Cloudjumper sing For The Dancing and the Dreaming.
Toothless sighed remembering Stoick had sang that to Valka when they had found each other after twenty years, feeling an ache in his heart making Cloudjumper understand.
"Hiccup's right, it wasn't your fault and if Stoick hadn't sacrificed himself, it would've been worse.
Valka told ne what happened when Drago and the Dark Alpha caused trouble but at least you and Hiccup defeated them.
You guys are the voice of peace." Cloud said.
Unknown to them, Hiccup had followed them as he was worried about Toothless as he knew he still suffered from the damage the Dark Alpha had caused but he knew that both his cousin and Cloudjumper were healing the pain that scar had caused.
"...Hey..." he said softly.
Cloud jumped in fright but Toothless nuzzled his rider.
"Hey...
Cloudjumper and Toothless were helping, as that woman hurt my feelings.
You have no idea what it's like, living without sight.
At least Cloudjumper and Valka are seeing my potential in being a rider." Cloud said as he understood.
"I guessed Astrid hit a raw nerve huh?
She has the tendency to do that." Hiccup said.
Cloud nodded but smiled shyly but Hiccup understood that with some dragons and humans, you had to earn their trust like when he first met Toothless.
"We should get back to Berk and maybe find you your own dragon." he said as she was on Cloudjumper's back taking off.
He knew that she was attached to Cloudjumper emotionally because Stormcutter dragons had raised her but maybe if he found a baby one, she could raise it and it would be like having her own Cloudjumper but wasn't sure.
He would ask Valka later.
She frowned at her son's idea, knowing how close Cloud and Cloudjumper were so afraid to pull them apart, knowing it would upset Cloud greatly making Hiccup sigh.
