At Calder's home

Shelby and I were at dinner when our son asked

"dad, could you tell me a story tonight ?"

"why not Sigurd, are you okay about that my love ?"

"of course, did you tell him how you convince a vicious dragon to help your friends against a dragon slayer ?"

"no !"

"I want it !"

"after you're finshed your salmon son !"

"yes mom !"

We have a quiet dinner, I always thought about my friends from the JLA, if they have a family around them, if they are still angry at me, all those question...but I'm glad to be with Shelby and our son Sigurd, he is like me, his father, even the dragon is the same, he found a baby Shockjaw on our beach, they both have a strong friendship bond. After dinner, Shelby and I went upstairs and Sigurd follow us, we sat on the bed and he followed

"tell your story dad !"

"okay, let's start with the beginning."

I coughed and start my story.

Calder's POV

After I left Berk, I asked Shelby to stay as far as possible to the rogue rider's outpost and after we left each other, I went to the outpost, a dark island far from anything, I landed and a big dragon faced me

"who are you ?"

"I betray Berk and the JLA, I want to work here !"

"if you want a job, I will take you to my only boss, Warpath, I think he had a task for you."

He took me to a cave in the east, all trees were burnt and no sign of human living here, no ruins or anything else, I feared I was at Helheim. When he stopped, a dragon appeared from the cave, with an evil smile

"what are you here Bloodthirst ?"

"I saw this rider on our island he said he attacked Berk and the "JLA" don't know this !"

"the JLA is a group of rider create to stop you from destroying the archipelago, I was banished from Berk, no way I can work with them."

As a mole for the team, I will hide my true fellings about my mission

"it's a good start, Bloodthirst, could you go with the twins to seek out signs about Pathfinder, I received nothing from him."

"yes sir !"

The dragon left and I was alone with Thunderbolt with the leader

"to gain my trust, you have to do something for me !"

"what kind of thing ?"

"kill Ivan, this asshole think he is the smarter guy here, I can't stand it anymore, if you killed him, consider yourself a member of my team if you don't, I'll kill you myself !"

"I will do it, don't worry."

"he is on his chamber, he never left it until noon !"

Warpath took me to Ivan's huts at the other side of the island and point me the hut "it's your choice, you can stab him, burn him, electrocute him, don't care, I want him dead !"

"don't worry about that, I just got the right thing !"

I stole one of Amaury's grenade before I left the outpost, I came clost stealthy from the hut and threw the greand on the open window, a huge explosion burst the house and I heard screaming, a man felt down, burnt down

"well done, he will be missed by no one ! you're on my team..."

"Calder !"

"welcome Calder, I..."

we were cut by a young dragoness panicked

"Warpath, it's awful !"

"what ?"

"we just received this box, the thing inside will make you puke, I swear !"

"who sent it ?"

"don't know, I just saw a note "who's next" that's all !"

She closed her eyes when Warpath opened, when I saw hie eyes, I understand that a real bad thing happen

"call back Bloodthirst and the twins, we have a new threat on us this time !"

"it's..."

"yeah, it was !"

The dragoness cried and Warpath put the box down

"Calder, for your first mission, you will escort me to the JLA outpost, I need to speak with Spitfire !"

"are you sure about that ?"

"yes, we need some back up, this guy didn't sold dragons, he killed them, maybe worst !"

"I'm comming to chief !"

"no Vendetta, I need to be sure it will be safe before that, if you want to help, gather any Frenzy or other wild dragon on this, we have to stop him."

Vendetta salute her chief and left, I mount Thunderbolt and we took off.

During the silent flight, I looked to Warpath, he was a huge dark green dragon with dark blue eyes, he had a scar on the neck and seems to be ready for a war, also ready to all opportunities if he want to work with the JLA, I was for the frist time affraid to flight with a dragon, he could do anything here

"Calder, I already know what you're planning to do ?"

"what ?"

"I felt your anger against Berk but you have none against the JLA, you can't hide your feelings and I was thinking a lot about my own past and my act against Spitfire are false, I want to meet the riders to make peace with them, I'm the one who blame to my dreadful fate, if I can help the JLA to kick the slayer's ass, I will !"

"how can you know I was a..."

"I smelt a woman near us, somebody you love and tyou never hurt your leader, I also read Pathfinder's note about you, I misunderstood some things and I also know my daughter is born at least !"

"your daughter ?"

"yes, it's a long time ago, at a feast, Spitfire and I drank too much and...when she told me she was pregnant, I was terrified, I want to apologize for that too !"

"okay, I think you will meet at the arena or you will burn the outpost down."

"we will see that !"

When I saw the outpost, I was not surprised to see some boulders and balista's bolt shot at us until I heard

"CEASE FIRE ! Arvid, took all the riders to safety, I need to be alone with them !"

It was Spitfire, I don't know she coul lead the outpost as weel as her rider, we landed and I stay behind

"Well well well ! would you look at that, Warpath with a traitor ?"

"cut the crap, I already know he is not really a traitor, I need to talk to you !"

"about what ?"

"Pathfinder was killed by a dragon slayer, he sent his head to me, if we not joined our force against him, all dragon will die ?"

"it's one of your plan isn't it ?"

"NO ! I read his notes, I know all dragon are well treated by each riders, I'm the one to blame for my fate, you were my only friend, the only one to give me the things I missed the most, I was not thankful about that, let me help you, I also know our daughter is..."

"don't came close to her, you abandonned us !"

"I was young and terrified to be the worst dad ever, I've thinking a lot about me and I was wrong all time, I'm here to help, I don't want to kill you, I broken your heart and I was so dumb to not seeing that soon enought, will you forgive me ?"

"I'm not the one to decide, I will bring back my rider and his sister, Dawn is safe and I will not tell you where she is until I'm sure you will not hurt her !"

"agreed !"

Spitfire took off and Warpath stay with me outside, waiting for Amaury to come.
