Prologue
Shortly after Hiccup introduced Dragon Training to Berk, the island was attacked by an Atlantian Automaton. Incredibly powerful war machines called Automatons powered by energy crystals. This event led to the Viking-Atlantian War, which led to the destruction of a significant portion of Berk. During the conflict, Toothless fell in love with a rogue automaton called Zoe, who tried to push the Night Fury away only for him to persist and eventually win her affections. Meanwhile, Astrid became smitten for Snotlout due to potion provided by her father, who disliked Hiccup and had sided with the Atlantians. After a fight, he was imprisoned only to escape later on.
Later on, a group of wanders arrived at Berk under the command of Camacazi, a Viking whom Hiccup had grown up with. Her crew aided Berk's inhabitants against the Atlantians, who had attacked their ship while they were in port.
The Atlantian forces soon came under the command of Dreganaught, a dragon like automaton that fought in a war between Dragons and Atlantians that led to Atlantis to being forced beneath the waves.
The conflict between the Vikings and Atlantians concluded with a massive battle that resulted in the heavy casualties for both sides. Black Death even arrived on the battlefield, only to be driven back. In the end, the Atlantians were defeated. Their automaton forces crushed. However, the Vikings suffered heavy loses including Zoey, who was killed by Dreganaught.
While in mourning, Toothless was struck by lightning and learned through a vision from a race called the Omegasevrians that a creature called Freyr was coming to Berk.
Across the sea, Princess Merida of Clan DunBroch joins forces with a Vanguard named Spiros. Together, they fight against Balor :The God of Death and the uprising he backs. During the course of the conflict, the duo discover that the Horned King is planning his return and is looking to bring an army with him. The Omegasevrians, an ancient race with advanced technology that once dominated the planet. After a fierce civil war that ravaged Earth, they were forced underground where they lie dormant to this day.
The Horned King's return is short lived however. After a battle with the Scotts, his Omegasevrians are defeated, his ally Balor blown to bits by Princess Merida, while he was imprisoned by Spiros, at the cost of a chunk of the Vanguard's soul and half his life span. Victory came at a cost though, Wee Dingwall, Lord Macintosh and many others were killed in the fighting.
Sometime after this, Hiccup and Toothless crossed paths with Drago Bloodvich as well as his long lost mother. While fighting to reason with Drago, Stoick is killed by Toothless and Hiccup becomes Chief, while Toothless becomes known as the Alpha Dragon after challenging Drago's Bewilderbeast.
Now, The Horned King stirs, seeking to finish what he started. It's been three years since Hiccup became Chief and three years since King of Shadows was imprisoned. This is where our story begins...
