It's cool that I got some reviews for this story. I wasn't quite sure if anyone was going to like it, and yet here we are. With this new chapter in place, I hope to see more reviews for the story coming in soon. Read on and enjoy, everyone, because now we're going to be meeting a few of the girls who Hiccup has as his empresses.

*I still don't own How To Train Your Dragon or Star Wars: The Clone Wars!*

Arrival Of The Chiefs - Empresses At Work!

"Hey there, Obi! How are things at the Forge going?" asked a young woman.

She appears to be twenty years old and is quite the contrast from most Viking women. Unlike most other Viking women who are built to be very large, she is actually quite petite by comparison and has the coveted hourglass figure that many women would kill for. She has long blonde hair that she keeps done up in a braid going down her back, blue eyes and porcelain skin. Her choice of clothing is a sleeveless shirt with alternating light and dark blue horizontal stripes, a pair of dark blue leggings with an auburn battle skirt over them, a pair of fur shoes, and metal shoulder pads. She also wears this odd headband that looks kind of like a thin piece of metal. Clipped to her belt is what looks like *a sword hilt with two hollow ends. One at the top, where the blade would be, and one located at the bottom where the pommel is normally placed. The top of her blade hilt has this decorative prong.*

Obi, better known as Obi-Wan Kenobi, is a man with short brown hair that's combed to the left, a well kept beard, naturally pale skin and blue eyes. He wears japanese samurai attire that also has these strange white gauntlets and greaves that are built for durability AND mobility. At his belt is a sword hilt that seems different from those of most blades.

After joining the Dragon Empire, Obi-Wan took up a job as both the head of the capital's forge in order to maintain a steady supply of parts, replacement Dragon teeth and Dragon saddles, and as a member of an elite group of warriors in the Empire's army known as the Draconians (Pronounced Druh-Con-Yans).

"Oh, hello Empress Astrid. Well, if you're asking, business has been a little bit slow today. What with the chiefs of the other villages coming to the capital to discuss possible treaties, nobody is coming in to get anything. No saddles, no secondary weapons such as axes or maces, and I've only had about two Dragon dental appointments today, counting this one." Obi-Wan greeted/explained as he gently hammered a new metal fang into a Hideous Zippleback's gums. "There we go, big fellas. How does the new tooth feel? Does it feel loose or cause any discomfort?"

The Dragon ran its tongue along the tooth in order to make sure it was in properly and nuzzled Obi-Wan, satisfied with his work. This caused the man to chuckle and scratch the Dragon on both heads.

"I'm glad you and your brother Sniff like your new tooth, Fart. Tell Tuffnut to give you a better name for me, will you?" Obi-Wan said/asked.

The Zippleback, now known as Fart & Sniff, growled in affirmative and nodded 'yes' before walking off to go back home to Zippleback Island. Astrid shook her head in amusement, knowing full well that some people didn't agree with Tuffnut naming a Zippleback something like Fart & Sniff; herself included. But hey, it was his choice and she respects it.

"Don't worry, Obi. Once these negotiations blow over I know you'll get lots of customers lining up for weapons, saddles and Lightsaber parts." Astrid said reassuringly. "Speaking of which, did you get that special order completed yet?"

"Almost done with that. I'll have them delivered to the Palace first thing tomorrow morning." Obi-Wan replied, looking satisfied with the work he'd done.

"Awesome! See you then, Obi!" Astrid said.

But as she turned to leave, she remembered something important.

"Oh, before I forget, Hiccup wanted me to ask you if you'd like to join us at Dex's Diner for dinner tonight." she said.

"I'll be there. It will be nice to get together with old friends and just talk about life rather than going to meetings and discussing military tactics." Obi-Wan said.

That's when Astrid noticed how tired the blacksmith looked. He had a few bags under his eyes, he was slouched over as opposed to his usual proper posture, and he seemed to have even less energy than he usually had.

"Are you okay, Obi-Wan?" Astrid asked. "No offense, but you look like a zombie."

Obi-Wan sighed as he set his hammer down. He should have known that his condition wouldn't slip past Astrid. She has the eyesight of a Nadder when it comes to things like this. It's how she managed to get Hiccup to take a sick day when he had caught a bad case of Eel Pox during the first year of Dragon's Edge's life.

"I'm not going to lie to you, Astrid, I'm not okay. I've been having to work through the night for most of the month to get this order ready since Gobber had to leave for that scouting mission midway through. I'm dead tired and I doubt I'll be able to stay awake for the rest of my shift today!" Obi-Wan said with a big yawn towards the end.

"Well, I'm not about to let you fall asleep on the job, Obi! As your Empress, I order you to go home and get some rest for tonight. Then, after you deliver the parts tomorrow, take the month off to just rest and relax. Don't worry about the forge. Hiccup and Fishlegs will be more than happy to cover for you when I tell them what happened." Astrid ordered.

Obi-Wan looked like he wanted to protest, but he simply sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose as he knew better than to go against a direct order from the Emperor or any of the Empresses. Especially Astrid!

"Alright, Astrid. I'll do as you say and meet you guys at Dex's Diner tonight."

The blonde Empress smiled kindly at her old friend and gave him a pat on the back before going to her Dragon, a light blue and yellow Deadly Nadder named Stormfly, and took off to see to the rest of the village. Obi-Wan sighed tiredly and began to clean up his work station, which included cleaning up and organizing his tools, extinguishing the firepit, and removing his apron while cleaning the soot from his face.

At this point, he was more than happy to take a nice, long nap. He idly wondered if age was beginning to catch up with him.

*Elsewhere…*

"Ah, yes… Yes, very interesting indeed." muttered another one of the Empresses.

This one is a girl who looks to be around the same age as Astrid and Hiccup, only she's not human. She's mostly human looking, only her skin is orange with grayish colored lips and crystal blue eyes. In place of hair, she has these 'horns' called montrals and 'head tentacles' called lekku growing out of her head. Two going over her chest and one growing from the back of her head. These montrals and lekku have a grayish-blue and white stripe pattern on them, and on her face are these white markings that looks like two diamonds next to a zigzagging pattern that go from the top of her forehead to where her eyebrows would be, along with these two little 'wings' on each of her cheeks.

She wears an auburn dress that is sleeveless and leaves most of her back exposed, a pair of burgundy leggings that have these diamond shaped holes cut in the sides, brown boots, and a brown belt around her waist. She also wears elbow length fingerless gloves and has these bands around her upper arms. To top off the outfit, she wears a headdress that looks to be made from sharp teeth, and has two Lightsaber hilts clipped to either side of her belt.

Currently, she's examining projections in two devices that look almost like a combination of a spyglass and a kaleidoscope. After she wrote down her notes, she walked over to where she kept several baskets full of rocks and dragged one over to a brown female Gronckle by the name of Meatlug. Her tail wagged in excitement as she got to eat all the rocks she wanted by helping this girl, and wouldn't get in trouble for it. Besides, this girl is as friendly and likeable as her rider, Fishlegs, and she has the same hunger for knowledge. She likes this girl, she really does.

"Okay Meatlug, let's move on to Stone Experiment Number Three: Riverstone." the girl said.

"Hey, whatcha doin' Ahsoka?" asked a woman with white skin and blue eyes.

In addition to these features, the woman wears a black shirt, a pair of black shorts under a black skirt, a pair of black boots, and has a Lightsaber hilt clipped to her gray utility belt. Her naturally light gray hair was tied into a high ponytail as she leaned against the door of the hutt that the now named Ahsoka was working in.

"Oh, hi Ventress. Well, if you really want to know, I think that there are more secrets to Dark Deep than we originally thought. So, like how Fishlegs and Meatlug discovered Dark Deep years ago, I am testing how different types of stones make Meatlug produce different flame, and how that affects the projections in the Dragon Eyes." Ahsoka explained.

"Hm. I see. Well, let me know how that goes, I need to get back to my patrol." Ventress said as she got back on her pink and black Monstrous Nightmare who she named Firestorm.

While the two of them took flight, Meatlug went back to the left Dragon Eye and barfed up a mouthful of lava on the floor. Ahsoka just smirked at the dragon.

"Yup! Couldn't have said it better myself, girl." Ahsoka said.

She looked back up at the projections and saw that along with the current projections, a blue projection began overlapping over Fishlegs' original notes of Dark Deep.

"Ooohhh! Even more interesting!" Ahsoka said as she wrote down her findings.

*Elsewhere… (Again…)*

"...And that, children, is why most Dragons are downright terrified of Eels and want nothing to do with them. It's also why only Dragons such as Typhoomerangs are able to eat them. Any questions, class?" asked a young woman.

Once again, this woman seemed to be around Hiccup, Astrid and Ahsoka's age. She looked almost completely human except for the fact that her skin is naturally an olive green color. She has blue eyes, a dark green diamond pattern tattooed across the bridge of her nose and shoulder length midnight black hair that she usually keeps under a cowl. Her choice of attire is more Viking-like, as she wears a black shirt, a battle skirt that has these small metal spikes embedded in it, armored gauntlets and shin guards that also have a few spikes in them. The shin guards, not the gauntlets. She also wears black shorts under her skirt, a pair of fur boots and a deerskin vest. Clipped to her belt are two Lightsaber hilts.

One little girl raised her hand, showing that she has a question.

"Yes, Julia?" the woman inquired.

"Is it naptime yet, Empress Barriss?" asked the little girl, A.K.A, Julia.

The woman, now known as Barriss, giggled slightly at that particular question. Trust the laziest and yet smartest girl in her class to ask if it was time to take a nap.

"I'm afraid we still have much to discuss about these Dragons, Julia. You'll have to wait until after class." Barriss replied.

Julia pouted a little and crossed her arms. She hates not being able to nap when she wants to, but she doesn't want to possibly anger the Boneknapper by falling asleep through the lesson either.

An excited young boy with black hair raised his hand and began to ask his question, despite not yet being called on.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! I heard from Emperor Hiccup that the Boneknapper will stop at nothing to find the perfect bone to build its coat of armor. Is that true?" he asked.

"Why yes it is, Syrus. And I must say, I like your eagerness to learn about Dragons. But let's try to keep the information related to the Dragons we're learning about, okay?" Barriss replied.

Syrus sheepishly scratched the back of his head and nodded as his teacher continued the lesson.

Yes, things seem to be quite peaceful in the Dragon Empire. And I like to think it will be for many generations to come. But Hiccup and the others still have to worry about the oncoming possibility of a threat by the other Chieftains of the Viking Archipelago.

*To Be Continued…*

*Basically, the same Double-Bladed Lightsaber that Maul used in Star Wars Rebels. A Double-Bladed Lightsaber/Saberstaff that's about the length of a standard Lightsaber hilt*

Well, everyone, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, because I enjoyed writing it. Please remember to leave a review and remember that all flames will be absorbed by the Monstrous Nightmares!
