Okay, I fixed my Moana and Her Night Fury story, so there won't be any confusion. Plus, Keoni has now a single scar on his right eye and one of his sisters is now named Lanuola.
And someone asked me if either Te Fiti or Draco made the Hidden World or better yet the ancestral homes of the dragons in Moana's region. To answer your question, they work together to make the ancestral homes of the dragons. Te Fiti made the islands and Draco created the dragons to live in harmony with the humans there.
And furthermore, Oragonking is correct. There are other Changewings in the Edge. Not all Chnagewings live that island, I mean. There Changewings at the Edge and maybe another Changewing Island. Also, it won't be long, I just wanna write some ideas I have plans. There are these songs got stuck on my head aaaaannnnnndddd I really-really wanted to write them, so badly. So, don't worry.
Also, I want to thank FoxyKhai0209 for her ideas on this story and her Oc, Lani Flokidottir, will be here. You can find him if you read her story in the Chief & the Pauper. It's a really nice story and Lani looks and sounds like Hiccup but with blonde hair.
Anyhwo, sorry for the long wait hope you guys enjoy it.
Moana and her friends were at the jungle of the Changewings ancestral island. They watched as the Changewings enjoyed their home, they didn't have to feel any worries about the dangers of hunters or trappers. They can live freely and have no problems of intruders now. And since Moana and her friends brought them back home, they are welcome without getting acid on the face, much to Maui's relief. The Changewings were enjoying the delicious warmth of the sun. It's so much warmer here than their old home. The fruits here were delicious too. They were so sweet and juicy, the Changewings couldn't get enough of those mangos. But they do enjoy the boars on the island. The boars were on the other side and easily hunted since the Changewings can camouflage easily. But the best part of the island is that there was a hot spring!
It was above the tree filled mountain, there's a path for them to climb or walk on, but they prefer flying there. They enjoy the hotspring. It removes the itch and tick-bugs from their scales. They have new placed to explore and enough food to last forever. The Changewing leader checks his pack members, making sure that they are comfortable in their haven. He saw his pack was enjoying their haven. Seeing that his pack is well, he decided to see Moana and her friends. After all, they did so much for them. The Changewing leader got up and made his way towards the beach. He saw some of the adolescence Changewings and hatchlings were with them. They were very curious about the group, especially Mini Maui. The hatchlings would look at the moving tattoo with wide eyes as if they were in a trance. Moana and Malie were cooing at the hatchlings, allowing them climb on the girls' shoulders and being picked up by them. Keoni was scratching an adolescence Changewing's chin, making it purr with delight. Some hatchlings were chasing Pua and Pōkole in delight. Mistral was resting on Aliikai's head as she watched the female Night Fury was being cuddled by Changewing hatchlings. Cayden was napping close Malie as he was being used as a jungle gym by the little Changewings. And Makaio was playing around with the hatchlings since the Tide Glider is very good with little ones since he plays with the children Motunui.
The group was enjoying each other's company, feeling like if they were family. The Changewing leader went over them, causing Aliikai to look at him and greeted him with a croon. The others turn towards the Changewing leader coming towards them. Moana puts the hatchling down and got up as the Changewing leader gave gentle grunts and growls towards them. Malie translated to them on what he was saying since she's the only one who can understand dragons.
"He wants to thank us for bringing them home, their real home." Malie translated as the Changewing leader stood in front of Moana.
Moana smiles at the leader before gently petting his head. He purrs in delight at Moana's gentle touch. They knew that these humans were different from the other humans back on the Norse Region. They don't hunt or bother them, instead, these humans show kindness and compassion.
"You're welcome. We're just glad that you can live in peace." Moana said with a small smile.
The Changewing leader understood her and soon gave a small bow of respect towards her. This surprised Moana and the others, they guessed that he was showing his thanks and respect. Moana smiles at him before she bows back to him along with Aliikai.
Showing their respect and friendship to one another.
After Moana and her friends led the Changewings to their ancestral island, they set sail back to Norse Region to find other dragons and take them back to their ancestral islands from their region. They waved goodbye to the Changewings. The Mystery Class dragon copies them as they wave back at their friends while roaring in delight.
Moana smiles at the Changewings before turning towards the horizon. Mistral activates the passageway to the Norse Region in a safe distance and safely enters. They arrived on their next destination. However, the sun was slowly setting, and they decided to camp at a nearby island. The sun was still up and gave them enough time to set up camp. As they gathered and prepared, Malie was looking at the ocean. She wanted to have a swim since she hasn't been swimming for quite sometimes now. After all, she is a mermaid. So, Malie decided to ask Moana if she can go swimming.
"Hey Moana?" Malie said to Moana, who was helping Keoni setting up the fire. "Can I go out for a swim?"
Moana turns to her and smiled. "Sure, but make sure you're not that far, who knows what danger is on the Norse Region." She said.
Malie nodded in understanding. "I know. Cayden will keep an eye on me." She said.
Cayden was standing a few feet from her and nodded in agreement. No one dares challenge a Vahlok, except maybe Aliikai since she did fight him and his pack before when she was saving Maui. Malie nodded and walks off to the island's shore. Malie walks through the water until it reaches to her waist, she changed into her mermaid form before diving into the ocean.
She swims around the water happily, feeling great that she is swimming again. Malie decided to swim a bit far from the island. It wouldn't hurt to explore even further. Malie swims far from the shores of the island and saw the beauty of the ocean. As she swims, she found her way towards a coral reef. She admires the beauty of the oceanic life until she saw someone from a distance. Malie quickly hides underneath a coral bed and peeks to see who it was. Malie saw a young boy swimming through the water. He appears to be the same age as Keoni, but a bit shorter. He has blonde shaggy hair, green eyes and slightly pale skin. His outfit was strange compared to Moana and her people. It was much warmer looking since the Norse Region has a cold climate. His outfit is a long sleeve, dark yellow woolen tunic with black leather lacing at the neck and arms, and she notices that he has a prosthetic leg on his left leg.
Malie was curious on why he has metal leg. Did he lost his real one and replaced it? If so, then the Vikings have strange ways on replacing their missing body parts. She decided to observe him as she carefully watches the human male from a distance, so he wouldn't notice her. Luckily, the blonde boy was busy swimming to notice her as he made his way towards a large rock with a yellowish seashell on top of it. He picks it up and closely examine it as if he was checking that there aren't any hermit crab living in there. Once he saw it was clear, he puts it inside his net-like bag. Malie notices that it was filled with different kinds of seashells. Malie becomes curious by him. Vikings don't collect seashells. She heard stories that they only hunted dragons and collect their hides, bones, and teeth.
Just then, a dolphin came, holding a seashell on its mouth. The dolphin shows the seashell to the blonde boy. He examines it for a few second before he did a thump's up at the dolphin. The dolphin puts the seashell into the young boy's bag before swimming away. The blonde boy smiles at the dolphin before he swims up to the surface. Malie was curious and decided to follow him, but she swims to another area. When he reached to the surface, he gasped to get some air before swimming towards a nearby rock.
He didn't notice that Malie had just resurface and was hiding behind one of the large rocks, far from him. She has to stay hidden from the blonde boy's sight since she can't be revealed. Malie watches him from afar as she notices that there was a small island that close by to the island that her friends were. Malie watched as the boy takes out some seashells from his bag. It was strange to see a Viking like him observing shells. And she felt something strange inside of her. She doesn't know why, but it was a feeling.
Just then, a roar was heard. The roar startled Malie and the blonde boy. They look towards the source of the roar and saw Cayden flying towards the location. The blonde boy yelled in fear when sees the massive dragon. He quickly picks up his bag before he jumps into the water to escape from the Vahlok and towards the island. Malie was surprised how fast that human can swim. But she knew why he was in such a hurry. Cayden's species are very dangerous and are feared to all in both humans and dragons. Malie swims over to Cayden as he lands near a small rock island. When the boy was far from eyes reach, Malie pulls herself up to the rock island and looks at her dragon.
"Cayden? What's wrong?" Malie asked.
Cayden made gentle growls, telling her that he came searching for her since she was swimming for quite a long time and decided to check on her. Malie gently patted Cayden, assuring him that she was fine and apologizing for making him worried. She was about to tell her dragon about the blonde boy, but she decided not to because she thinks it would be a bad idea if Cayden finds out about this, who knows what he will to do to that Viking boy. Cayden says to her that they should return to the others. Moana might be worry about her along with the others too. Malie understood and turns into her human form before she climbs onto Cayden. The mighty Vahlok spread his wings and took off to the location to the others. Malie turns towards the direction where the blonde boy was, hoping that she would see him again.
Hours pass, Cayden and Malie returned when the sun began to set. Moana and Keoni were making dinner for everyone. Maui was sitting behind a tree nearby, leaning on it with his hands behind his head as he takes a nap. Pua, Pōkole, and Mistral were playing with Makaio. Malie was in her human form and was sitting beside Cayden. Aliikai was gliding above the ocean. And Heihei, on the other hand, was peaking on a rock for some reason.
Malie watches Aliikai flying above the water couldn't shake off these feelings she is having, she was thinking about the blonde boy. As if it was like she wanted to see him again. Aliikai came back and landed on the beach as she was about to go to her sister when she suddenly stops her track. She noticed the sand just suddenly moved. Curious, she went over to have a better look and lowers her head. And when she got a bit closer, pair of sea green eyes opened underneath the sand and stared at Aliikai's ocean blue eyes. Startled, Aliikai let out a startled roar, catching everyone's attention. Maui woke up with a snort as Moana rushed over to her dragon sister's side.
"Ali? What's wrong?" Moana asked her dragon sister worriedly.
Aliikai pointed her snout at the sand where the pair of green eyes were, but to her surprise and shock, they were already gone. Moana follows her dragon sister's direction and saw nothing on the sand. Moana gently pats Aliikai gently.
"There's nothing there, girl." Moana said gently. "You must be seeing things."
Aliikai wanted to disagree, but maybe Moana was right. Maybe she was seeing things. They all have their dinner as the sun disappeared and night arrived. Everyone and their dragons were taking their dinner. Maui was having an eating contest with Makaio while Pōkole was keeping scores. Moana giggles at the sight while Aliikai made a small amused look at their competition. Mistral was watching Pua eating his food really fast, as if he wanted to join in the game. Keoni and Cayden were eating their dinner in peace. And Heihei was peeking on the seeds that Moana gave him, but he wasn't eating them. Malie, on the other hand, wasn't eating. She was still thinking about that blonde boy. Malie has a strange feeling that this boy has a hidden gift in him but wasn't sure. Malie didn't bother to look up when Maui was chocking on a fish and Keoni was trying to save him by doing the Heimlich Maneuver. Calder watches the scene calmly while Aliikai made a deadpan look. Makaio was laughing his tail off at the sight before him. Moana glanced at Malie, noticing the mermaid's strange behavior, and became concern.
"Malie? Are you okay?" Moana asked.
Malie snaps out from her thoughts before turning to Moana. "Yes?"
"Are you okay? You're not acting like yourself." Moana said worriedly, ignoring Maui chocking out a piece of fish from his mouth and was soon eaten by Makaio. Cayden secretly listens to them. He too was worried about Malie, wondering what she was hiding.
Malie made an assuring smile to Moana. "I'm alright, Moana, just lost in thoughts." She answered.
Moana just looked at her worriedly, there's something wrong with her. But she decided not to bother Malie's personal life as she shrugs her shoulders and went back to eat her remaining fish. However, Cayden knew something was bothering his rider. He's going to find out whether she likes it or not.
After dinner, everyone went to sleep. Maui was sleeping on his makeshift hammock. Keoni was leaning on a snoring Makaio and Pōkole was sleeping on the Tide Glider's back. Aliikai has one of her wings wrapped around Moana and Pua, keeping them warm while Mistral was snuggling on Aliikai's back. Cayden was sleeping near the boat with Malie on his side, but the mermaid wasn't asleep. She was still awake. Malie was still thinking about that blonde boy again. It was strange. The human shows great compassion to the ocean. He loves to swim, collect shells, and gets along with sea life. Malie wonders if he's one of those humans who are gifted with magic or blessed by a god.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a splash from the far side of the island. Mermaids are known to have string hearing skills and can hear things from far placed. Malie wonders what's going on and decided to investigate. Carefully not waking Cayden up, Malie managed to sneak away from the group and headed towards the other side of the island where she heard the splash. She carefully walked through the undergrowth, rubbing her arms as she keeps herself warm from the cold. When she arrived the other side of the island, Malie gasped silently on what she saw.
There was a bright sandy brown dragon on the beach. It has spikes on its head which resembled the Night Fury's nubs and ears on its head. It has secondary wings, a unique tail design which consisted of two arrow-like shapes pointing inwards. Its body and wing shapes are similar to a Night Fury, but this dragon has more spines on its head and wings. The spines were thinner, longer and considerably sharper. It also had two large 'thumb' claws on the wings. Its head was flatter, and its ends were more pointed. Instead of having sails at the end of its tail, there were thicker spikes.
Malie recognize that dragon immediately. It was a Sand Wraith, a somewhat cousin to the Night Fury. Malie quickly hide herself behind a few large rocks, so she wouldn't noticed by the Sand Wraith. Malie takes a little peek as the Sand Wraith was just sitting on the edge of the shoreline and gazing at the ocean. The young mermaid wonders why a Sand Wraith was doing here on this island alone. Malie got her answer when she heard the splashes from the water. Looking over at the ocean, on what the Sand Wraith was gazing at, Malie gasps again when she saw the same blonde boy was coming out of the ocean. This surprise Malie even more. The cold water of the Norse Region would've freeze him to death if he stays too long. Maybe he's one of those gifted humans.
Then Malie saw the Sand Wraith comes up to him and gives him a nuzzle against his side. The boy smiles and pats on its head gently. Malie can hear the blonde boy's voice as he tells his Sand Wraith this.
"Come on, girl. Let's go to Berk." He said.
The female Sand Wraith gently growl in agreement before she sense something or other words, someone. The Sand Wraith started to sniff the air. The blonde boy became confused on her action.
"What's wrong, girl?" He asked.
The Sand Wraith started making its way towards the large rocks where Malie was hiding. Malie was panicking as she sees the Sand Wraith was coming towards her hiding spot with the blonde boy following her from behind. The young mermaid is starting to get worried. She can't be spotted by them. She needs finds a way to get away and hide from them. Malie looks over to the forest and quickly bolted over there and hide behind the tress without getting notice. Malie panted a bit as she tries to calm herself. She took a small peek behind the tree, to see if the blonde boy and the Sand Wraith were there. But to her shock, they weren't there anymore. Confused, she wonders where they are and wonders if they spotted her. That's when she hears a soft growl from behind. Frozen in her spot, Malie stood still. She slowly turns around and to her shock, she meets the Sand Wraith with curious sea green eyes. The young mermaid let out a shriek of fright that startled the Sand Wraith in the process. Malie rushed out from her hiding spot but she didn't see where she was going, and in the process, she bumped into someone and both of them fell on the sand.
Malie lifted her head and look at the person that she bumped into. She gasped in shocked when she meets a familiar face, it was the blonde boy. Their faces are so close and a few moments of staring at each other until Malie quickly gets off him and stood up.
"I-I'm sorry!" She quickly apologizes to him.
The blonde boy slowly stood up and dust off the sand off his yellow tunic before looking at Malie. He saw that she was scared and nervous around him as if she thinks that he was going to hurt her. Making sure that he wasn't threatening, the boy made a small and kind smile to her.
"It's okay, it was an accident." He assured. Malie didn't respond as she looks on the ground. "What's your name?" He asked kindly, hoping that she will respond.
Malie looks up at him and hesitated. She can't let him know who she is. Malie remembers that Vikings used to hunt mermaids and dragons. But he does have a Sand Wraith with him, and he doesn't have any intention in harming her or any dragons. So, taking a deep breath, Malie answered his question.
"M-Malie…my name is Malie." She answered softly.
The blonde boy smiles at her gently. "Your name is pretty just like you." He complimented.
He wasn't lying, Malie is known to be a very pretty girl back on Motunui. Malie blushes at his comment. She shyly looks at him as she rubs her arm.
"Wh-What's your name?" She stuttered.
The blonde boy smiles and made a funny bow. "My name is Lani. Lani Flokidottir the Viking." He introduced in a gentlemen voice, causing Malie to giggle. He stood up and gestured the Sand Wraith from behind Malie. "And this my Sand Wraith, Sandstorm."
Sandstorm came behind her and purrs at Malie gently, wanting to be friends. Malie smiles and greeted the Sand Wraith. "It's a pleasure to meet you Sandstrom." Malie gently pats on Sandstorm's head, which she growls in delight.
"How did you find her?" Malie asked Lani.
"Well, I met her after I lost my left leg from a Dragon Raid." Lani explains as he gestured his metal peg leg, causing Malie to gasp. "I was able to walk around again. Soon, when I went to Thor's Beach, I met Sandstorm. I form a bond and trained her, and she became my only family and best friend."
"O-Oh, you must have trouble keeping her a secret." Malie said.
"I did, but we were able to keep it that way until peace came."
"Peace?" Malie questioned.
"Yes, as it turns out, the dragons were controlled by a giant dragon called the Red Death." Lani explains. Malie gasped at that information. She knew what a Red Death is. Its an Alpha type of dragon and its big, well third biggest dragon. Malie guessed that it was using the dragons as its own personal service.
"So, it was defeated?" Malie asked.
Lani nodded his head. "Yeah, I lived in Skerry Island when I heard about the news." He explains before realizing something. "So, Malie? What are you doing here on this island? Are you stranded?" Lani asked.
Malie looks at him and shook her head. "No, I'm not stranded. My friends are with me and they're at the side of the island." Malie quickly shuts her mouth, wanting to slap herself for telling a complete stranger where her friends are. But she noticed that Lani isn't a type a guy to disturbed or bother people.
"Oh, I see." Lani said, nodding his head in understanding.
Then Sandstorm nudges her rider's arm gently, growling like she was trying to say something to him. Malie understood her and accidentally translated Sandstrom's words. "Sandstrom said that she and you should return to Berk now."
Lani and Sandstrom were both surprised that Malie can understand Sandstorm. "How are you able to understand Sandstorm?" He asked curiously.
Malie quickly shuts her mouth and hesitated. She can't tell him that she was a mermaid. It must be kept a secret, so she had to lie to him. "I…I learned how to understand dragon language in a very young age since I spend my whole life with dragons." She hopes that her lie would convince him.
Luckily, Lani believed her as he was impressed that Malie can understand dragons. I mean, he always wonders what it would be like to talk to dragons. Heck, maybe it can help the whole Viking community.
"You know, since me and Sandy are going to Berk. You and your friends can join us." Lani offered.
Malie shook her head. She and her friends have a mission to do, even though seeing a Viking village would be interesting, but the task of bringing the dragons back to their region is important. "Thank you, but my friends and I should head back to our home."
Lani nodded in understanding as he mounts onto Sandstorm's saddle. "Well, hopefully we meet again, right?"
Malie made a small smile and nodded. "Right…"
Lani smiles at her. "See you soon, Malie."
With that said, Sandstorm takes off to the night sky as they head back to Berk. Malie watched them as they disappear from her sight. She never met someone so kind for a Viking because she knew that Vikings are meant to be ruthless but Lani isn't. Maybe the Vikings are not all bad. Malie lets out a sigh and hopefully to see him again if they run into each other again, causing her heart beating irregularly after meeting Lani.
For some reason, this human/Viking was different from the other Vikings. He's...he's special. Before Malie could think any further, she heard something coming through the forest. Turning around, she saw Cayden coming out from the forest. His strong body structure can help him move trees out of the way with ease. Cayden woke after he felt Malie wasn't by his side. The Vahlok became worried about his mermaid rider since she's very venerable. She hasn't full mastered her powers yet. When Cayden saw Malie was alright, he sighs in relief as he went towards her and lowered his massive head. Malie smiles at him as she gentle stroke his head. Cayden made a small growl, asking why she left.
"Forgive me, Cayden. I just wanted to explore a bit." Malie said almost sounding like a lie.
Cayden narrowed his eyes at Malie. He could tell that she was lying. He wanted to know why she went out on her own since she knows it wasn't safe. However, it was late. It's best to take her back and question her tomorrow. Cayden brings Malie on his back before taking her to the camp.
On the next day, Moana and her friends woke up. They're going to a next island to find what dragons that are going back to their safe region. They got ready for their trip before they notice Malie was staring at the ocean again. Moana was worried about her before she notices Cayden was looking at her. Cayden gestured Moana to talk to Malie, so they can have a girl to girl talk. Understanding this, Moana went over to Malie and stood by her side. She looks at the ocean with Malie before turning towards to Malie.
"Malie?" Malie turns to Moana, snapping out from her gaze from the ocean and looks at her. "Yes?"
Malie was so busy thinking about Lani very deeply and began to daydream about him, she forgot about that her friends were there.
"Are you okay? You've distracted lately." Moana said worriedly.
Malie sighs. She can't hide secrets forever. "Yes, and I have something to tell you guys…and you should sit down because it's a long story." She said.
With that said, they sat down and listened as Malie told them about Lani and Sandstorm. She told them that the Vikings and dragons are in peace, which shock them. I mean, they heard that Vikings kill dragons for sports. Cayden was somewhat unsure, disappointed, and annoyed. He wasn't sure that the Vikings would come in peace with the dragons, heck. When he and his brothers came here before, they took down armada ships that were trying to take them down, but Cayden and his brothers destroyed the ships with no survivors. Yet he was annoyed and disappointed that Malie revealed herself to a boy without his supervision. Although, that boy Lani didn't do anything, except leaving his scent on Malie, he'll let that slide…for now. After Malie, finished her story, everyone was shocked to hear that. They couldn't believe on what they were just hearing. They weren't sure if they could trust the Vikings yet, after all, they did hunt down dragons.
"I don't know, Malie. How can we be sure that the Vikings are in peace?" Moana questioned.
"Lani said that someone was able to defeat the Red Death." Malie said.
"WHAT?!" Maui exclaims, jumping off his feet, and everyone looked at him confusion except Cayden for he knows what the Red Death is.
"You're telling us that a Viking somehow defeated the Red Death! That thing caused so much trouble long ago! That Lord Draco had to banish it from our region." Maui explained.
"Wait, banished?" Moana asked Maui.
"Lord Draco found out that the Red Death was causing terror on a local island that has humans and dragons. It was controlling the dragons to raid the village and steal their food. I manage to hold it off and give enough time for the humans to escape until Lord Draco came to banish it here in the Norse Region."
"So, it won't cause any trouble in our region anymore." Keoni said, earning a nod from Maui.
"Yeah, and it was terrifying! I don't know what happened, but Lord Draco did a powerful roar that send that Red Death to this region." Maui explains.
"He must've used a spell that sent it here in this region." Keoni theorized. "And I guessed that the Red Death must've raided many villages long ago by using the dragons."
"And to keep the peace, Lord Draco used his magic to banish her to the Norse Region, where it was locked away for all eternity on a deserted island where no man can enter." Maui added.
"Until the dragons came to the Norse Region to escape the darkness and the Red Death awoken when it sensed the dragons." Malie added, already knowing what will happened.
"Even so, we can't let our guard down. We have a mission to do." Moana said, referring about the dragons. "Let's go, we have to find what dragons are out there."
They all agreed and started packing up. Cayden made sure to keep a close eye on Malie, just in case that Lani person might try and find her. After they finished, they set off to find dragons that will be brought back to their Region.
Hiccup and Toothless were walking through the village towards Gobber's shop. Hiccup needs to talk to Gobber to help him build a new saddle for Toothless. Though, Hiccup has many questions in his mind. It's about the Changewings disappearance. He doesn't understand how can the Changewings disappeared like that. He worries that other dragons might disappeared like the Changewings. Hiccup sighs as he and Toothless made their way to the shop when they spotted Gobber talking to a stranger. Curious, Hiccup made his way to the shop. Gobber saw Hiccup and smiled.
"Ah! Hiccup! Glad that you are here. I want you to meet a friend of mine." Gobber said.
The stranger turns around and Hiccup saw the appearance of the stranger. He looks like him! Except he has blonde hair. His eyes are green, and his skin is slightly pale like Hiccup's. He wears a long sleeve, dark yellow woolen tunic with black leather lacing at the neck and arms, a sandy brown fur vest that matches his boot and dark gray pants with lacing at the ankle. And his left leg was prosthetic like Hiccup's. Hiccup stared at the stranger with wide eyes while the Hiccup look alike smiles at him.
"Hiccup, say hello to Lani Flokidottir from Skerry Island." Gobber introduced.
"It's finally nice to see you again, Hiccup Haddock." Lani said, sounding just like Hiccup.
Hiccup stared at Lani in shock as he mindlessly shook his hand. It's like he has an identical twin! Toothless stared at Lani happily as he wags his tail in delight. It's like Toothless met him or something. Soon, the other dragon riders came after Hiccup and Lani stop shaking hands. They were shocked to see a Hiccup look alike at Gobber's shop.
"Hiccup! You didn't tell us you have a twin!" Tuffnut exclaims in shock.
"Uh…he's not my twin. This is Lani. Lani Flokidottir from Skerry Island." Hiccup introduced.
Lani made a wave. "Nice to meet you guys." He greeted.
"Hiccup, if this some sort of prank, I'm not laughing." Snotlout pointed out as he crosses his arms.
Gobber shook his head at Snotlout. "It's not a prank Snotlout. Lani here used to live on Berk when he was a wee lad. But after his parents…well…left. The Chief at Skerry Island was a good friend of Lani's father, he took him in and trained Lani to be a fine warrior." Gobber explained as he placed his hand on Lani's shoulder. "In fact, he was the one who made your metal leg."
"Wait, you did?" Hiccup asked Lani in shock.
Lani smiles sheepishly as he rubs the back of his neck. "Yeah, I lost my leg too on a dragon raid. I was badly injured, but my left leg sustained a lot of damage." Lani explains as he gently kicked his metal leg.
"How far is Skerry Island?" Fishlegs asked, changing the subject and wanting to know about Skerry Island.
"It's pretty far when traveling on boat, but I got here quicker." Lani said.
"How? You fly all the way here?" Snotlout jokes with a laugh.
Suddenly, he lets out a yelp when something bit him from behind. He jumps from the ground and landed on his butt near Hookfang. The Riders were shocked to see a new dragon that bit Snotlout's behind. It was a Sand Wraith! Fishlegs silently squealed in delight to see a Sand Wraith as it made its way to Lani. Lani gently pats its head and smiles at the dragon.
"Easy, Sandy. Don't be rude." Lani said gently.
"Wait, that's your dragon?" Hiccup asked in surprise.
Lani scratches his dragon. "You, Sandstorm here became my only family I have left when I found her at Thor's Beach few years ago." Lani said.
The riders were shocked to hear that. And before anyone could say anything, Toothless bounced over to Sandstorm as they both greeted each other with gentle headbutts. Hiccup was surprise by Toothless behavior, wondering if they became friends when Lani came to Berk. In truth, Toothless quickly became friends with Lani and Sandstorm since Sand Wraiths are close cousin to the Night Fury and Lani looks so much like his rider.
"Are they…friends?" Fishlegs asked.
Lani nodded. "Yup, they became friends when I came to Berk to make the leg for Hiccup's. The two became quick friends." He said.
"Well, the Bork's notes say that the Sand Wraiths are known to be close cousins to the Night Furies." Fishlegs said as he looks at Sandstorm in awe and then to Lani. "Is it okay if we can study her?" Fishlegs asked hopefully.
"Sure, she won't mind. Isn't that right, Sandy?" Lani said to Sandstorm who purred in agreement, causing Lani to chuckle, but he soon stopped when he realizes something. "Oh, that reminds me. Since you guys have Bork's notes. Do you know what this dragon? I saw it when I was swimming."
"Sure, what does it look like?" Hiccup asked.
Lani took out a piece of paper from his satchel. "I drew it, so you guys can have a better look of it." He said.
Hiccup took the paper as he and the other riders looked at Lani's drawing. They were impressed how Lani is such a good drawer like Hiccup. They looked at his drawing and saw what the dragon looks like. It was terrifying yet cool looking. It has a stoic expression, yet it still looked terrifying. The Thorston twins awed at the dragon, wanting it as their own. Fishlegs was amazed yet terrified at the dragon, however, he was still amazed to see a new dragon. Snotlout thinks its cool and wants to train it, so he can impress Astrid. Hiccup and Astrid were amazed to see the new dragon as well, wondering if it's a threat or
"What kind of dragon is that?" Hiccup mutters. "I have never seen this one before."
"Really? Not even the book of dragons?" Lani asked, remembering that there was a Book of Dragons when he was here.
"This dragon isn't even recorded there. We're in uncharted waters, my friend." Fishlegs said in excitement.
Hiccup shows Gobber the drawing. "Gobber, do you know what kind of dragon this is?" Hiccup asked his mentor.
However, Gobber didn't say a word. He looks at the drawing with a shock and serious expression. This caught the others attention when Gobber fell into silence.
"Gobber? Are you okay?" Hiccup asked.
"It can't be." Gobber mutters in shock.
"Can't be what?" Snotlout asked almost nervously.
Suddenly, Gobber waddles over to his shop and towards his drawer to get something. "When I was your age, my father would tell me stories of my great-great-great grandfather Bork the Bold and how he discovered something that he will never forget." He said as he took out a small notebook before blowing the dust away. He went back to the teens and shows them the drawing. Their eyes widen to see the same drawing that Lani drew, but there were more of it and they looked deadly.
"What Lani saw was a dragon that brought fear in every Vikings' hearts, and considered himself lucky to escape from it." Gobber said to them seriously.
"Gobber, what kind of dragon did Lani saw?" Hiccup asked his mentor.
Gobber stay quiet for a few seconds before saying the name of the dragon in a cold and serious tone. "Sky Destroyer."
Everyone froze on their place when they heard about the dragon's name. Sky Destroyer that what it's called. Hiccup never knew that Bork was so secretive. He took the notebook from Gobber as he and the others looked at the sketches of the Sky Destroyer. The Sky Destroyer was unknown. The speed and size were a mystery like the Night Fury page until Hiccup filled it up thanks to Toothless. The sketches show five Sky Destroyers that were very angry.
"Bork called these dragons Sky Destroyers because they are known to attack from the sky and destroy any known threats. They are pack hunters, like wolves hunting down prey." Gobber explains, shivering with slight fear before he looks away a bit as he began the tale of how Bork encounter the Sky Destroyers.
Bork the Bold was seen rowing his boat carefully through the dragon infested waters. He was going to study the Scauldrons and their habitats. But he soon stops when he saw an army of ships sailing towards Berk's location. And Bork learns that they were invader boats.
"Bork was supposed to study about the Scauldrons when he saw an armada of invaders. Bork was about to row back to warn the village until they came."
Bork was about to row to Berk but stopped when he heard unknown roars from the sky. Looking up, he saw five figures flying in a V formation. Bork couldn't see them clearly because of the clouds, but he saw glimpse of blue. Soon, the invaders started shooting their arrows and catapults at the figures. They all dodge the attacks with ease and the arrows bounced off from their scales. Then two of the dragons releases their stream of fire and the ships turned into ablaze. Bork watched in shock as these mysterious dragons destroyed the ships with their fire. Heck, one rammed through two ships to create massive holes on them without getting a scratch on itself.
"They were fierce, strong, and above all, dangerous. Bork never seen such dragons with such power and ferocities. But that's not all they can do."
Soon, they fly high above the sky and they all roared together. Suddenly, their bodies began to set on fire. And soon, they combined their firepower to form into a massive flaming dragon! Bork watched in shock as the dragon made of fire lets out a terrifying roar that shook the sky and water. The men on the boats were screaming and yelling in fright as the massive fiery dragon charges down and consumed the entire armada, creating a shockwave when they exploded. Bork holds on as his boat was sent skidding through the water. That force cleared the clouds away and destroyed sea-stacks.
Once Bork got his boat steady, he looks over to see the once armada was now gone, not a single trace of boat parts or people were there. Then Bork saw the dragons that caused this. They were big, they were blue with red markings, and they looked fierce. Bork stared in shock at those dragons until one slowly turns to him. Bork froze, even though they were far, Bork could see the cold and dead serious eyes. Those eyes could bore a hole, right through his very soul. Bork braced himself if those dragons might come to him. But to his surprise, the dragon snorted and turned to his pack members before it lets a dragon like bark. The dragons took off, leaving Bork alone, as they leave that area.
Never to be seen again.
"That was the last time that Bork ever saw these dragons. He wrote them many years ago, but he didn't add them on the Book of Dragons or in his notes. Instead, he kept it away." Gobber explained the story to the shock teens. The Thorston awed at the story, they really wanted their own Sky Destroyer now.
"But why didn't Bork add them in the book or notes?" Hiccup asked.
"Bork never saw the Sky Destroyers again, he thought that they disappeared, so he put those notes away. However, if anyone ever saw the Sky Destroyers again, his next generation should tell about the Sky Destroyers." Gobber stated before sighing.
Hiccup looks at the drawing of the Sky Destroyers one last time and then looks at Lani. "Lani, did you see more of these Sky Destroyers?" He asked.
Lani shook his head. "No, I only saw one them." He answered.
"Did you know where you saw it?" Hiccup asked.
"Hiccup, don't get any ideas." Gobber said seriously. "Sky Destroyers are known to be fierce and deadly dragons! They can tear you all limb from limb if you ever try and go near one of them!"
This scared the dragon riders, well mostly Fishlegs and Snotlout. Fishlegs is now scared at the Sly Destroyers, he doesn't want to anger that dragon. And Snotlout doesn't want to die in the claws, fangs or fire of any of those Sky Destroyers.
"Gobber, if Lani saw one of them, who knows if there are others." Hiccup stated.
"Hiccup, Sky Destroyers are not like any dragons that you and your friends ever faced. They are known to despise any known Vikings. You can't just go out there and hopes you can tame one of them." Gobber said to future chief of Berk.
"Look, if we can find them and show them that we aren't a threat, maybe just maybe, we can tame them."
"You do know that their names have 'Destroyer' right?" Tuffnut pointed out almost stupidly.
"Hiccup , you can't find the Sky Destroyers…they find you." Gobber said in a dead serious tone.
Fishlegs gulps in fear of that. "M-Maybe w-we don't need to go search for the Sky Destroyers." He suggested.
"And missed out what it can do!? Not a chance! Those Sky Destroyers sound awesome!" Tuffnut said cheerfully, not caring about the imminent death that might come to him.
"Yeah! And if we were able to tame one, we can do anything with it." Ruffnut agrees as she and her brother snicker mischievously.
Lani stared at them awkwardly before leaning over to Astrid. "Should I know about this?" He whispered.
"Trust me, you don't want to know." Astrid mutters out.
"How about this, instead of taming them, how about we observe them from a safe distance and don't bother them." Hiccup suggested. "How's that?"
"I agree!" Fishlegs said, liking the idea to be a far distance.
"Same." Astrid agreed.
Snotlout and the Twins muttered in agreement while Gobber sighs in annoyance. "Alright, but I'm coming along, who knows what those Sky Destroyers will do to you kids." He said as he grabbed a bag on his counter and waddle over to the riders.
Hiccup smiles before turning to Lani. "Lani, can you show us the location on where you spotted the Sky Destroyer?"
Lani nodded. "I do, but it's going to be a long flight." Lani said as he gets on Sandstorm.
Gobber gets on Hookfang with Snotlout before they took off to the sky and towards the location on where Lani found the Sky Destroyer. Hiccup have a theory that maybe that dragon has something to do with the Changewings disappearance.
And having no idea on what might come ahead.
Hope you guys liked it.
