Okay, okay, you guys want the Freedom Bringers go to Skerry Island, I get it. And I'm still thinking of HTTYD 2 ideas.

Anyways, enjoy.
The Dragon Riders and Freedom Bringers were heading towards Skerry Island. Lani offers them to see his home that he has taken care of since he was a child and because they haven't seen it yet. It was also a good place to take a break from all the dragon saving against Krogan and his dragon hunters. It was a tiring time, but they succeeded. And now, it was time for them to relax a bit, as well as giving Tara some closure since she had a rough time losing a close friend, Krogan.
"So...are we almost to Scurvy Island?" Tara asked, riding along with Moana and Pua on Aliikai.
Lani shook his head, riding on Sandstorm, as they guided everyone to Skerry Island, "Not long, just a few more minutes and we're there. Also, it's Skerry Island, not Scurvy." He corrected Tara about his home's name.
"Whatever you say." Tara mutters out.
Cayden flies beside them with Malie on his back, "Tara, come on, this Lani's home, can you at least show some interest?" Malie asked Tara, hoping she would behave on their visit.
Tara sighs and looks at Malie, "Sorry, princess, but may I remind you I haven't been in any populated village besides Berk and Motunui to know that I'm a Lycanwing." Tara said, reminding them about her ability.
"Don't worry, Tara, I'm sure my village will accept you." Lani assures her.
"Yeah, keep telling you that, Lorenzo." Tara said dryly, ignoring Lani correcting her about his name, "But every Viking knows that being Lycanwing is a bad omen."
"Don't worry! They'll accept you." Lani assures her, "Like Berk did."
"How are you even...wait a second...did you tell them?!" Tara exclaims towards Lani.
Lani laughs nervously, rubbing the back of his neck, "Kind of...well...Chief Hallvard needs to know beforehand, and besides, everyone will understand you."
"Yeah, finding me as a monster!" Tara exclaims in anger. "If those guys throw an axe on me, you better sleep with one eye open! For I will surely haunt your sleep!"
"Tara, calm down!" Moana tried to calm an enraged Tara after seeing Lani was becoming scared, "We'll leave if we see anyone trying to attack.."
"So, please, be in your best behavior." Malie begged the Lycanwing girl.
Tara lets loose a low growl, but agrees, "Fine, I'll behave, but if I see any signs of danger, we bolt, got it?!"
"Got it!" Everyone said unison.
"Look! We're here!" Aliikai roared out, seeing Skerry Island up ahead.
"Hey, Aliikai spotted the island! Is that Skerry Island?" Moana asked Lani.
Lani saw this and smiled, "Yup! There it is! Home sweet home! I can wait to show you guys around." He said to them happily.
"Yeah, without losing our heads?" Tara mutters out.
"Tara!" The Freedom Bringers all said unison, scolding her for saying that.
After a few minutes, they landed at the docks, where they were greeted by Hallvard, "AH! Lani! Welcome back!" He greeted the teen wholeheartedly.
Lani smiles, "Hello, Chief Hallvard!" Lani greets back at him before gesturing the Freedom Bringers, "Oh, I want you to meet our new allies, this Chief Moana Waialiki of Motunui, Keoni of Keahi Clan, Maui, Yasmina, Nasir, Gil, Coral, Malie, and Tara."
The Freedom Bringers, minus Tara, greeted Hallvard warmly. He greeted back before setting his eyes towards Tara, who was looking at the ocean quietly. "Ah, Tara Aaberg, it's good to see you again."
Tara glanced at him, "So...you remember me?"
"You and your mother came here a long time ago." Hallvard said to Tara.
Tara didn't look at him but responded softly, "Yeah...we did..."
"I am...sorry for your loss." Hallvard said to her gently, knowing very well that Fiona Aaberg had passed away.
"I know..." Tara responded softly again, yet not making eye contact.
The Freedom Bringers were worried about Tara's personality, hoping that she isn't too rude to Hallvard. However, instead of taking offense, Hallvard placed his massive hand on Tara's shoulder, causing the Lycanwing girl to look him dead in the eye.
"I understand that you are not comfortable around us, but I can assure you, we will not harm you nor your friends, even if you have that ability." Hallvard assures with a smile. "And besides, it wasn't your fault that you had it."
Tara knew that he was referring to her Lycanwing curse. She didn't like the fact that Lani told him about it, but he knew that it was for the best since Skerry Island is allied with Berk, and since they will become with Motunui, so Tara had to do the right thing, she had to accept it.
"I'll have to see it to believe it, Chief Hallvard." Tara said to Hallvard softly.
The Freedom Bringers let out a sigh of relief, knowing that Tara won't cause any trouble. Hallvard smiles and looks at the group, "So, what brings you here?"
"Well, Chief Hallvard, my friends and I decided to have a little rest on Skerry Island, as well as making an alliance with the people of Motunui." Lani said to Hallvard, who chuckles.
"Of course! It would be nice to make an alliance with new people." Hallvard said happily.
"Thank you so much, Chief Hallvard." Moana said, bowing her head, followed by the others.
"Pleasures all mine, Chief Moana! Now, let me give you the honor to show you around our wonderful home."
"It would be an honor, Chief Hallvard." Moana said to him kindly.
So, with that said and done, Hallvard showed them around the village. Hallvard explains to them that since they made peace with the dragons like Berk did, they all got along with them and made a great impact on their home. This impressed the Freedom Bringers, but the most astounding part was the fact that some of the designs and ideas were made by Lani's father, Iokua. He shared the trap ideas to the people of Skerry Island. Hallvard was also thrilled to learn that Lani found out that his father was actually one of Moana's people, who was lost at sea during a storm. And Lani met his father's side of the family. He was happy to hear that Lani has found his family as well as making new friends. Speaking of new friends, the Freedom Bringers were being surrounded by the people of Skerry Island, mostly the children. They were asking them about their island, what Gil and Coral are, or how many dragons they have there.
Of course, they answered the best possible way, especially Gil and Coral, they were the ones to have answered all the villagers' questions since they were Amphibian People. Gil did his best to answer the children's questions since they keep asking him random stuff like 'Do you breathe underwater?', 'Do you know magic?', 'What do you eat?', or 'Are you married with Coral?', that last questions made Gil blushed like crazy and almost fainted. Luckily, Lani and Hallvard helped out, stopping the villagers from asking questions, before resuming to the tour.
They all had a great time and soon they went to the Great Hall to grab something to eat. The Dragons enjoy the fish given to them while their riders eat their meal. Pōkole the Kakamora, Pua the Pig, and Mistral the Wisp Dragon were playing with some children. Heihei the Chicken, on the other hand, was pecking on a rock, much confusion of the Riders and Hallvard.
"Is...your chicken alright?" Hallvard asked Moana.
"Honestly, I'm not sure," Moana said with a smile, "Thank you for giving us a wonderful tour, Chief Hallvard."
Hallvard smiles back, "It is my pleasure, Chief Moana."
Just then, a little girl came running towards the Freedom Bringers, smiling at them brightly, "Can we play with your dragons?" She asked them innocently, giving them pleading eyes.
The group smiled, agreeing to let her and her friends play with their dragons, "All right, after all, they love playing." Moana said to the little girl.
"Just be careful with Cayden." Tara said, taking a bite on her chicken, "He's a bit grumpy on children."
"I heard that." Cayden said towards Tara, letting out a low growl.
Hearing his growl, the group know that Cayden wasn't too pleased by Tara's words, as they all chuckled in amusement. The Freedom Bringers and the Dragon Riders allowed the children to play with their dragons. Lani smiles towards Malie as she helps some children come close to Cayden, who stood very still and allowed them to pet his side. Hallvard noticed Lani's gaze and saw that he was smiling towards Malie. Knowing that this boy has fallen head over heels towards the mermaid princess, Hallvard couldn't help but smirk at him in amusement.
"Like what you see, Lani?" Hallvard jokes.
Lani heard this and blushed as he quickly faced the Chief of Skurry, "Wha-NO! I mean...I was just...smiling at the children." Lani lied to Hallvard.
Hallvard lets out a loud laugh, "Don't lie to me, Lani, I know that look. So, when are you going to tell me you have someone to smitten with?"
Lani's face turned red as a tomato, "I-I-I didn't! Malie and I are just friends! And...and I um...eh..."
Hallvard almost passed out laughing, "My dear boy, if your parents were still alive, they would be so proud of you!"
"Chief Hallvard!" Lani exclaimed, blushing madly while Hallvard continued laughing.
Tara watches them from afar, sharing what appears to be a father-son like relationship. Hallvard was like a father to Lani since he took care of him after the death of his parents. Part of Tara was envious to see how Lani and Hallvard shared a bond. She used to have that same bond with Krogan, she always sees him as a fatherly figure. But now, he became her enemy, and their bond was now broken. She always wanted to have a dad when she was young. She always thought that maybe her mom and Krogan could settle down and live like a family...but fate had other plans. Instead of making Krogan her dad, it made Krogan her enemy since he hunts dragons for sport. And since he found out that she could turn into a dragon, he's probably gonna hunt her down.
"Tara? Are you okay?" Moana asked, seeing Tara sitting alone at the bench outside.
Tara sighs and shakes her head, "Hard to say, it's been hard since I found out the man that I always thought to be my father figure, was actually a dragon hunter." Tara answered dryly before closing her eyes, "Sorry, I'm just jealous about Lani and Chief Hallvard father-son relationship, it reminds me how I used to have that with Krogan, before...you know..."
Moana's eyes softened by this and placed a gentle hand on her friend's shoulder, "I'm sorry, Tara, I know that you and Krogan had a strong father-daughter relationship."
"Yeah...it was my dream as a little girl to have a dad like him instead of being the daughter of that jerk of god, Loki." Tara said, growling when she mentioned Loki's name.
Moana became concerned, knowing that Tara's grudge towards Loki would never end, for it was him that made Tara's life miserable by placing the Lycanwing curse on her for no apparent reason. Tara always felt like she was an outcast because of her father, never having friends since she had to travel with her mother. However, things started to change after she was saved by Moana and her friends, they accepted her for who she is, not caring about her curse. She was happy to finally be accepted, to be who she really is.
"Hey...at least you two share fond memories...before you found out." Moana said to Tara gently.
Tara sighs again, agreeing with Moana, "I know, but that shouldn't stop me from helping my friends save the dragons." She said, smiling towards Moana, who returned the smile.
Just then, they noticed a little boy with a helmet was looking towards them with curious eyes. The two girls stared at him for a while before the little boy mustered enough courage to walk over to them, mostly towards Tara, before standing in front of her, holding his breath. Moana and Tara looked at him and then to each other, and then to him, wondering what was wrong with him.
"Is...there something you wanna say, kid?" Tara asked the young boy, who was puffing his cheeks.
The boy inhales deeply before blurting out his question, "Is it true that you can turn into a dragon?"
Tara and Moana were surprised by his sudden question, surely enough that he must've heard this from the adults, considering that Lani and Hallvard told them about Tara's ability, she couldn't blame the kid for being curious. However, she wonders why he asked in a curious manner instead of a fearful one. Most children fear this kind of information. And yet, here he is, standing tall and brave with no fear in his eyes.
"I...can...why do you ask?" Tara slowly answered the child.
"Because Herald doesn't believe that you could. And I think you can." The little boy said with a smile.
Tara raises a brow and then looks at Moana. The Chieftess gave a small supporting smile at her. Sighing, Tara got up and guided the boy to follow. The boy eagerly follows her with Moana following them from behind. They went to a big clearing that was big enough for her to transform as well as close to the others. The boy and Moana stood in a safe distance for Tara to transform. After some stretching and bone cracking, Tara gave the boy a wink and said to the boy.
"Brace yourself."
And with that, Tara transforms into her Lycanwing form, releasing a loud roar that echoes through the island. The boy and the other kids, who saw it, awed in amazement. Lycanwing Tara looked down at the boy, who was flabbergasted at her form, and spoke to his mind.
"Surprised?"
"I WAS RIGHT!" The boy cheered happily, raising both his fists in the air before he ran around Lycanwing Tara with a loud laugh.
This surprised Tara but became more surprised when the other children came towards her, cheering and laughing as they began playing around Lycanwing Tara. This somehow touched Tara, never in her life that a village could accept her so easily, it was...rather nice feeling for Tara. Meanwhile, Moana smiles at the scene, finding it adorable for little children playing with Lycanwing Tara. The others came along to watch the scene in amusement.
"I see Tara is having fun." Keoni said to his fiancé.
Moana smiles, "Yup, wish we can give her more."
"Yeah, after all, Tara has been through so much." Gil said in agreement.
Suddenly, Coral lets out a gasp, "I know! Let's have a surprise party for her!"
"A party?" They all asked in unison.
"Yeah! Something to show how she is special."
"That's...that's actually a good idea, Coral." Moana said with a smile, "Let's throw Tara a party."
"Ooh! Gil! You should totally make your famous underwater ocean chocolate fudge cake!" Coral said cheerfully, "It would great for the party!"
"Sure, I'm happy to bake it." Gil said with a kind smile.
"And we'll do the decoration." Malie added, wanting to help out, "But someone has to keep her distracted."
"We can send Snotlout," Maui suggested, "He's a perfect distraction."
Thinking that it was a compliment, Snotlout accepted with a grin, "Why thank you..."
"As a target dummy." Maui suddenly added, earning giggles and laughter from the group.
"HEY!" Snotlout exclaimed, completely offended by this.
"I'll be the one distracting Tara, while you guys prepare for the surprise party." Astrid said, before giving a smile towards Moana, who appreciated it.
"Where can we host this party?" Yasmina asked.
"There's a nice field close by here." Lani offered, "It will be a good place to have the party."
"Thanks, Lani, it sounds perfect." Moana said happily.
But as the group discuss and plan the party, they aren't aware of a strange bird perched on to a tree, looking at them with a mischievous smile spread on its beak.
The Freedom Bringers and Dragon Riders were setting up for Tara's surprise party. Coral and Gil left to make the cake, Nasir and Yasmina went to gather some food, and the rest decorated the area. Astrid continues distracting Tara, by sparing her. It won't take long for them, because before sunset, Astrid has to bring Tara here for the surprise.
"Great job, guys!" Moana praised, smiling at their work.
"Yup! Now, all we need is Astrid to bring Tara here so we can celebrate!" Coral said happily, setting plates on the table.
"Yeah...wonder what's taking them so long?" Nasir asked, looking at the sky, seeing the sun setting. "We're about to start soon and Astrid isn't here yet with Tara."
"Maybe they're still sparing." Hiccup suggested, knowing his girlfriend likes to train.
"I'll go check, you guys continue the preparation, I'll send Mistral to you when I find them." Moana suggested, earning chirps from the Wisp Dragon.
"We'll come along too." Malie said, gesturing to herself and Keoni.
"Thanks, come on, we better get Tara here."
Moana, Malie, and Keoni left the clearing while the others prepared the surprise. As they left, they noticed something off. There, lying in the middle of the road was a small chest, decorated with emeralds and golden streaks. And on top of the chest was a note.
"What...is that?" Keoni points at the chest.
"I'm not sure, but there's not." Moana said, looking at the note.
Malie picks up the note and reads since she could understand Norse very well, "To my daughter's friends Moana, Keoni, and Malie, I hope you all enjoy the surprise. Sign..." Malie suddenly gasps, and her eyes widen, "...LOKI!?"
"LOKI?!" Moana and Keoni exclaimed in shock.
Before they could respond, the chest suddenly snaps open, releasing a green light that consumes the three friends. They let out a yell of surprise before it was replaced by roars of dragons. This however caught the attention of the others, especially Aliikai and Tara. They knew something was up and quickly went to the spot where Moana, Keoni, and Malie were. But they didn't spot the two humans and the mermaid. No, instead, there were three dragons. One Night Fury, a Skrill, and a beautiful looking sea dragon.
The Night Fury was female with dark scales and brown eyes. The Skrill was a male, but its eyes were brown. And the water dragon was a female that has beautiful ocean blue scales with red coloring and her eyes are like topaz. They were looking at each other in shock as they let out roars of terror.
"Wh...where did these dragons come from?!" Maui exclaimed in shock.
"Who cares! It's Night Fury and a Skrill!" Tuffnut exclaims happily before looking at the water dragon, "And that pretty dragon as well."
Then the female Night Fury lets out a roar, like if she was telling them something, the dragons of the Freedom Bringers and Dragon Riders as well as the ones who understood them became shocked and dumbfounded at her words, looking at them up and down.
"Wh-What is she saying?" Hiccup asked the Freedom Bringers that understood them.
"The Night Fury...it's...it's Moana!" Gil exclaims in shock, which earns dumbstruck looks from the Dragon Riders and the ones who couldn't understand dragons.
"Moana?!" Astrid exclaims before looking at the Skrill, who was looking at them with a worried expression, "Keoni?!" The Skrill lets out a roar, saying yes, and then she looks at the female water dragon, who was panicking about, "Malie?!"
"What happened to them?!" Snotlout exclaims, gesturing his arms at the three dragons that were once humans and a mermaid, "Since when could they turn into dragons?!"
"I-I don't know! I thought Tara and Maui were the only shapeshifters here." Fishlegs said, still shocked to see their friends turned into dragons!
Night Fury Moana lets out a roar to the group before attempting to grab the note with her paw but fails. Hiccup, seeing this as a clue, quickly helps Night Fury Moana and picks up the note to read. And as he did, he gasped before handing it to Tara.
"They've been turned into dragons...by Loki." Hiccup said, still stunned by what he just read.
"WHAT?!" Tara exclaims, snatching the note from Hiccup's hands and reads it herself. As she finished it, she crumbled it with her hands as her eyes and teeth turned into dragons, growling savagely, "THAT GOAT KISSING GOOD FOR NOTHING OF A GOD!"
"Tara, calm down!" Yasmina said, trying to calm the raging Lycanwing down.
"I can't calm down! Loki turned my friends into dragons?! WHY?!" Tara exclaims in fury.
"I don't, but you got to admit, that is one sneaky way to be Loki'd at your surprise party. Hehehe...oops." Tuffnut quickly shuts up when he accidentally spills the beans.
"Surprise party? What surprise party?" Tara asked in confusion.
"It was our idea to throw you a surprise party to show you how special you are and...well...how much we appreciate you." Coral explains to Tara, "But I guess...this was the surprise we are hoping for." She looks at the dragon forms of Moana, Keoni, and Malie.
Tara growled in anger, "My good for nothing dad thinks it might be funny to ruin your guys' plans by turning my friends into dragons! What kind of sick joke is this!? They don't even know how to be dragons!"
"Tara, is there a way to reverse this?" Night Fury Moana asked, but it sounded like a roar to those who do not understand dragons.
Luckily, for those who can, we are able to understand Moana. "I don't know, Moana, I am not an expert in this kind of thing. I only know how to be a dragon because I was born like one."
"So, there's no other way?" Malie asked worriedly.
Suddenly, Gil's eyes widened, as if he remembered something, "Wait! I know who can help us!"
"Who?" Lani asked Gil.
"Our friend Jade is an expert of all kinds of magic, she can help us find out how to reverse this." Gil explains it, which earned hope to his friends.
"Good idea, Gil!" Coral cheered at her best friend.
"Is there a way to contact her?" Hiccup asked Gil.
Gil nodded, "Yes, and luckily, she's not busy at the moment."
They quickly went to the beach that Lani led them to. It was far from the village, a perfect place to relax. Gil took out a conch shell from his satchel and blew at it, sounding almost like a horn. Once he stopped, the water began to ripple, and they could see a faint green glow coming from the water. And soon, Jade emerges, transforming her tail into legs. Snotlout, Tuffnut, and Fishlegs had their jaws dropped at the stunning looking female.
"Jade! Thanks for coming." Gil said in relief.
"Indeed, I felt powerful magic coming here and I knew something was wrong." Jade said, looking towards the distressed dragons (Moana, Keoni, and Malie), "I guess Loki has no sense of restraint when it comes to his mischief."
"Are we gonna be like this forever?" Keoni asked worriedly, only he sounded like he was roaring.
"Not forever," Jade said to them, "There is a way to reverse this trick, and that is to find Loki to do so."
"Wait, you're saying that we have found Loki to reverse this?" Tara asked in anger before bringing her arms up, "Great! Just great! As if he's willingly going to help us! The only thing he does is to make mine and everyone's lives miserable!"
"Calm yourself, Tara, I understand your hatred and anger towards the one that sired you." Jade said calmly, watching as the Lycanwing girl slowly calms down.
"Even if we're able to convince the God of Mischief to reverse, where are we going to find him?" Nasir said to Jade, "For all we know, he could be anywhere around the Archipelago as we speak."
"He can run, but he can't hide in the eyes of Heimdall." Jade said to them.
"Heimdall?" Astrid spoke in shock, " As in, thee Heimdall, the Guardian of the Bifrost Bridge, and the Gatekeeper of Asgard?!"
"Yes, Heimdall is known to be all-seeing, he would easily locate Loki for us." Jade said to them.
"But...you do realize that Heimdall is at Asgard, right?" Lani reminded Jade, "You know...the Home of the Gods?"
"I'm aware of what Asgard is, Lani." Jade said calmly before looking at Night Fury Moana, "Moana, you are close friends with Lord Draco and Te Fiti, they will assist you in this matter."
"You think Lord Draco and Te Fiti can help us?" Fishlegs asked Jade.
"Indeed, Fishlegs, for they took a liking to Moana and her friends." Jade said to them calmly.
"But how are we gonna contact them? Te Fiti is in their region and Lord Draco is probably in the heavens by now." Lani points out to everyone.
Jade chuckles softly, "True, but there are many rumors that Lord Draco would often visit their region to speak with Te Fiti, for they are close friends. And there is a way to contact them."
"How?" Hiccup asked Jade, curious on how they are going to contact the two gods.
Jade smiles and looks towards Moana, "You know it since you were young."
Night Fury Moana was confused at first before she realized what she meant, "The Ocean!" She roared, earning confused looks from the Dragon Riders and Maui, who has yet to understand dragons.
Without warning, Night Fury Moana rushed towards the water, planting her paws at the edge, allowing the waves gently touch her. Lowering her dragon head, Moana calls out to the ocean for help.
"Ocean...if you can hear me, please...we need you to contact Te Fiti and Lord Draco. We need them to help us get to Asgard." Moana said softly, even though it sounded like croons.
They waited for a while until the Ocean formed its tentacle form, looking towards Night Fury Moana. Everyone was shocked and relieved that the Ocean responded, especially Moana. The Ocean gently boops Night Fury Moana on her head, making her release a small dragon like giggle. She was happy to see the Ocean here to help. And so, it will. It knows very well that Loke did this. The Ocean, like every god and goddess and magical beings, dislikes Loki. The one who hated Loki the most was Draco. He wanted to rip the mischievous of a god to pieces after he stole and messed with his dragon creation behind his back multiple times. And if he learns that Loki messed with the ones that he and Te Fiti favored and blessed, let's just say...he's gonna erupt like a volcano. Soon, the Ocean disappears, delivering the message to Te Fiti and Draco, in hopes to reverse the trick that Loki cast on them.
"Where's it going?" Snotlout asked.
"The Ocean is delivering the message to Te Fiti and Draco as we speak," Jade answered, looking towards the group, "As it does, you three need to learn how to adapt to your new forms."
"Why?" Gil asked Jade, "Why do they need to?"
"Because, if we're to go to Asgard, they must be able to fly like a dragon to follow Lord Draco." Jade responded, which earned terrified expressions from the three dragons that were once people.
"Wait...are you saying that we have to..." Water Dragon Malie gulps in fear, "...F-Fly? By ourselves?"
"It is the only way for you, Moana, and Keoni to catch up. After all, where we're going, it is far from Midgard." Jade said to them.
Skrill Keoni, who had begun to worry about this, carefully asked Jade, "And...how are we gonna fly?"
Jade responded with a calm and gentle smile.
"WHY HERE?!" Water Dragon Malie screeched in fear, clinging onto Cayden's front paws with all her might.
Turns out, the only way to learn was in a high cliff. Skerry Island is known to have the highest cliffs around here with strong winds. Dragons used this to train their young when flying. The winds help them glide through the air with no problem. Yet, Dragon Moana, Keoni, and Malie have no idea what to do since they're just learning to be dragons.
"Is...is this necessary?" Gil asked worriedly, looking down at the cliff nervously.
"Dragons would often train their young here." Lani said, recalling the time he and Sandstorm explored the island. "This is the perfect spot to train Moana, Keoni, and Malie's dragon forms."
"Why can't we just practice on a smaller cliff!?" Water Dragon Malie cried out, sounding more like a shriek, refusing to let go of Cayden's front paw.
"Malie's getting scared." Yasmina said in concern.
"Why should she be scared? She's been riding Cayden for, like, a long time, right?" Tuffnut pointed out.
"She rode him but never flew on her own." Yasmina explains the reason, "Malie is a mermaid, and mermaids are known to be maidens of the ocean, not the sky."
"Well, she's about to learn how to fly." Tara said, stretching her body, "We have to be ready to take off and head to Asgard, so I can punch that no good of a dad!"
And with that, Tara transforms into her Lycanwing form. She is going to help her friends learn how to fly and how to control their fire breath. Well, not sure if Malie has a fire breath since she's actually a water dragon, they'll get to her soon. Right now, it's flying time!
"Okay, guys, the first you need to know when flying, is all about instinct." Tara instructed her three friends that were turned into dragons.
Dragon Moana, Keoni, and Malie looked at each other with uncertainty and then to Tara, "Um...Tara, not to be rude but...I don't know if our instincts could help us in this situation." Moana said to the Lycanwing.
"Relax, Moana, it's in you. Your dragon instincts will kick in once you jump off a cliff."
This wasn't very reassuring to them.
"Jump off!? Tara, are you crazy? Even if we are dragons, we won't be able to respond to it quickly." Keoni pointed out her.
"Don't worry, the dragons will be close by to catch you. And besides, your dragons are with you the whole way."
Aliikai, Makaio, and Cayden nodded in response to Tara's words. Aliikai walked over to her sister and placed a wing over Night Fury Moana, "Don't worry, sis, I'll instruct you how to use your wings." Aliikai assures her sister.
Night Fury Moana smiles at Aliikai gratefully, "Thanks, Ali."
Makaio walked over to his rider, who was a Skrill, and noticed Keoni looking at his wings, "You alright there, Keoni?"
Keoni shook his head, "Yes and no, I'm not sure if I could get used to understanding you, Makaio," Earning a playful smile from his Tide Glider, "But...I never picture myself as a Skrill."
"Why? What dragon thought you were going to be?" Hookfang asked Skrill Keoni.
"I always thought I could be either a Tide Glider like Makaio or a Thunderdrum, but I never thought my dragon self was a Skrill." Keoni explains his reason to the dragons and the ones that understood dragons.
"Look at the bright side, at least you can catch up with Moana." Coral assures him happily.
Skrill Keoni chuckled, "Yeah," He agreed before looking at Hookfang, "Hey, Hookfang? Since our body features look similar, if it's all right for you to train me how to fly?"
"No problem! I'm happy to help you rather than listening to my rider's boasting." Hookfang said with a grin.
Keoni smirks, "Noted."
"Hey, what are they talking about?" Snotlout asked, looking towards his dragon and Skrill Keoni.
Gil, not wanting to be rude, made a little white lie, "Keoni asked for Hookfang's help, 'cause he doesn't know how to use his wings like Hookfang does."
Luckily, since Snotlout was so dense, believed him, "Oh, good for him! You know, Hookfang is a master of flying. I mean, he can totally do awesome tricks, with me of course."
As Snotlout continues bragging, Skrill Keoni and a blank face Hookfang just stare at him, believing that he was completely dense and that he has no idea that Gil had to lie to him, "He has no idea what you really said." Skrill Keoni said to Hookfang.
Hookfang snorted, releasing steam from his nostrils, "Eh, let him be, that idiot will figure it out sooner or later, or probably note." Hookfang looks at Skrill Keoni, "Come on, let me teach you how to properly walk with your wings, and then teach ya how to take off."
Skrill Keoni nodded and followed Hookfang's instructions. Night Fury Moana and Skrill Keoni were being mentored by Aliikai and Hookfang, while Cayden was trying to teach Water Dragon Malie how to fly, but the scared mermaid dragon was afraid of flying, fearing that the winds would blow her away or crashing into a rock pillar, and she does not want that to happen to her.
"Okay, sis, remember. Before you take off, make a rubbing leap, then dive down, and once you are close to the water, spread your wings in sync, and flow with the wind." Aliikai instructed.
Night Fury Moana nodded her head, "Right, run, jump, spread wings, and flow to the wind, got it..." Moana repeated with confidence. But in a few seconds, she gave Aliikai a nervous look, "Um...can you stay by my side? Just in case."
Aliikai smiled and nodded before walking beside her sister, "Just in case."
Night Fury Moana smiles in appreciation before looking at the cliff with a sigh. Her heart was pounding with adrenaline, fearing the outcome. But she pushed it all aside, she needs to fly in order to catch up with the others. With that, Night Fury Moana made a run for it, jumping off the cliff and did a divebomb. Night Fury Moana could hear the wind whistling through her ears. She could hear her sister diving down beside her, telling her loudly that she was almost there and would give the signal. Moana trusted her and waited as she continued diving down.
"Now, Moana!"
Instincts took control over Night Fury Moana. And before she knew it, her wings opened in perfect sync, allowing her to pull up and glide above the water before pushing herself upwards. And in doing so, Night Fury Moana was not above the clouds. She soon opened her eyes and gasped at the sight before her. Night Fury Moana was baffled, she did, she's actually flying! She couldn't help but release a powerful roar of joy before spinning around.
"THIS IS SO COOL!" Moana roared happily, doing an aerial backflip.
Aliikai flew beside her sister and laughed along, "Yup! It is, isn't it! Wait till you try out your plasma blast!"
"That would be great, but first, there's something that I want to do."
Aliikai looks at her sister curiously, tilting her head a bit, "And what's that?"
Night Fury Moana grins at Aliikai and flies away at full speed, "RACE YA!"
As Night Fury Moana leaves Aliikai behind, the ocean blue eyes widen before letting out a dragon-like laugh, "Oh, it is on, sister dearest!" She roared playfully before chasing after Night Fury Moana.
The two sisters laughed through the air, playfully chasing one another. Everyone watched with an amused smile while the Thorston Twins cheered them, finding it cool to see Night Fury Moana flying, and wondering if Loki could turn them into dragons too. Which the others pray not to happen. Hookfang and Tara decided to teach Skrill Keoni how to take off before Snotlout could join them. They didn't want him to ruin Skrill Keoni's training. And it was a good thing because Keoni was able to take off, following both Lycanwing Tara and Hookfang's instructions. Skrill Keoni was a fast learner as he mastered the ability to fly, thanks to their tutelage.
"Atta boy, Keoni!" Hookfang praised Skrill Keoni.
"Woooooo-hooo!" Skrill Keoni cheered, spinning in the air before dive bombing, "THIS IS AMAZING!"
Hookfang grins as he watches Skrill Keoni do amazing aerial maneuvers, even if it was first time flying! He guesses that due to the Skrill instincts in him, that's why Skrill Keoni was so good at flying. But Hookfang was still proud of him. As Night Fury Moana and Skrill Keoni continue flying, the Dragon Riders, minus Snotlout, get on their dragons to take off, followed by the rest of the Freedom Bringers while Maui turns into a giant hawk to join them. They joined in their Snotlout, on the other hand, tried to call Hookfang, but the Monstrous Nightmare refused to obey as he was too busy teaching Skrill Keoni to fly. However, the ones who are not joining them, besides Snotlout, were Jade and Cayden. Jade just watched from the cliff, smiling at their success while Cayden was trying to figure out how to help a certain mermaid who is afraid of heights.
Water Dragon Malie still refuses to join, still fearing that she will crash on the land instead of the water, she prefers that over falling into her doom. Cayden saw her distress look that Water Dragon Malie was making. He knows very well that she is afraid to fly with the others.
"You don't have to be afraid, Malie." Cayden assures Water Dragon Malie. "I will be with you all the way."
However, Water Dragon Malie shook her head vigorously, refusing to let go of his leg, "No thanks, I'm good. I like watching." She squeaks out, refusing to let go of his leg. Cayden sighs softly as he gently pats her back, "In due time, Malie, you will join them eventually." Earning soft whimper from Water Dragon Malie.
The others continue flying about while Hookfang ignores Snotlout calling out to him angrily, while the Monstrous Nightmare ignores him yet again. Night Fury Moana and Aliikai raised alongside each other, laughing, and whooping about. The two sisters enjoyed flying together, but now that Moana turned into a dragon, she can fly with her sister instead of riding on her.
"Oh, by the ancestors! This is amazing, Ali!" Night Fury Moana whooped.
Alikaii chuckled, her wing tip touched Night Fury Moana's, "What? Flying or being a dragon?" She asked her sister jokingly.
"Well...flying by myself is amazing but turning into a dragon...yeah...that wasn't in my bucket list." Moana answered with a laugh, which Aliikai joined in. "But...it feels so great to fly! It's like...all my worries have just washed away and I feel so...so..."
"...Free?" Aliikai guessed with a small smile, which Night Fury Moana returned. Her sister knows her well.
"Yeah, free." Night Fury Moana glides above the sky, smiling at the ocean below.
Night Fury Moana:
Life's been so unsatisfying
Look, suddenly, now I'm flying
Freewheeling from cloud to cloud to cloud
Wings spread and the sky below me
There's no one to stop or slow me
Pure freedom and everything's allowed
Night Fury Moana and Aliikai flew around some rock pillars before gliding down to the ocean, where they weaved through a pod of Thunderdrums that were swimming by. They easily maneuvered through them with no casualties before taking off to the sky once more.
Down there
I know there's tons of burdens I must bear
Somewhere
But from up here
The world looks so small
And suddenly life seems so clear
Soon, Night Fury Moana and Aliikai danced through the air, circling one another while smiling.
And from up here
You coast past it all
The obstacles just disappear
Never feel heavy or earthbound
No worries or doubts interfere
There's nothing but you looking down on the view from up here
Night Fury Moana and Aliikai return to the cliff to see Cayden trying to get Water Dragon Malie to fly, but still is afraid. So, both sisters encourage her by guiding her through and holding her claws. They soon help her through by jumping off a cliff, which causes her to flap her wings uncontrollably as she was clumsily airborne with the two sisters.
Night Fury Moana:
Stretch out with the wind behind you
(Water Dragon Malie: Here we go)
Float up, let the current find you
(Water Dragon Malie: Look out below)
Keep climbing and sail from breeze to breeze
(Water Dragon Malie: Stay close, don't leave me, please!)
Head up to the stratospheres
With only the stars to steer us
Just think of the possibilities
Water Dragon Malie
I think I've got it!
Soon, Water Dragon Malie was able to fly with no problems now, thanks to them. Cayden joins with Jade riding on his back, ignoring Snotlout asking for a ride, and quickly takes off to watch them teach Water Dragon Malie how to fly.
Night Fury Moana:
Below
We spend our whole lives trudging to and 'fro
Now-
Water Dragon Malie:
Woah!
Soon, they and the others fly together, flying past the fishing boats below them and fly above the island. Enjoying the wind through the faces as they fly high above the clouds
Night Fury Moana and Water Dragon Malie:
And from up here
Night Fury Moana
The world looks so wide
Water Dragon Malie:
Yet every horizon seems near
Night Fury Moana and Water Dragon Malie
And from up here
Night Fury Moana:
No path is denied
Water Dragon Malie:
You choose which direction you veer
Night Fury Moana:
And suddenly you can breathe easy
Water Dragon Malie:
Contented
Night Fury Moana:
Carefree
Water Dragon Malie:
Cavalier
Night Fury Moana and Water Dragon Malie:
Just gliding on through
Looking down on the view from up here
And from up here
The world is all yours
Each mountain and meadow and mere
And from up here
Life's duties and chores
Are barely worth shedding a tear
And all of the sky lies before us
Straight up to the far stratosphere
So head for the blue and let's take in the view from up here
It's just me and you looking down on the view from up here
As they and their friends continued flying, Cayden watched them with Jade on his back. He couldn't help but smile at them, amused and proud of how much they have grown when he first met them. He knew that they would change the world and unite forgotten bonds. It was rather nice to see.
"You seem pleased." Jade spoke to Cayden, speaking dragon tongue.
Cayden nodded his head, "Indeed, they have grown so much in these past years." Cayden said with a smile before vanishing as his eyes turned serious, "Although I much appreciate that they shouldn't have been pranked by a mischievous god, Loki." Cayden bared his teeth, "When I get my claws on him, he should beg for mercy."
Jade lets out a small chuckle, "I doubt you'll get the chance. Considering that the ocean has given the message to Lord Draco, he would probably do the same thing, but worse."
"Indeed, Lord Draco may look calm on the outside, but if some poor soul of a fool dares oppose him, they will regret their action for he his rage matches an eruption of a volcano."
Meanwhile, and the Island of Te Fiti...
"HE DID WHAT?!"
A powerful roar echoed through the island and ocean that belongs to the Dragon God, Draco. He was visiting his good old friend Te Fiti, checking if she was alright and if she is enjoying the company of the Vahloks and the Goldenhearts that are currently living with her. The Island Goddess enjoyed their company, happy to have dragons living with her. It would've been a peaceful moment were it not for the Ocean that came here with urgent news. Turns out, Loki did it again, messing with the mortals' lives yet again. But he just messed with two wrong mortals and a mermaid. And those are the ones that both Draco and Te Fiti gave their blessing, those are Moana, Keoni, and Malie. When Draco found out that Loki turned them into dragons with no apparent reason...let's just say Draco didn't keep his cool.
Te Fiti did her best to calm down her raging companion, steam was escaping through his nostrils and flames were licking out from his teeth, as if he was ready to release a powerful flame. "Calm yourself, Draco, I understand your rage. But please, try not to burn me down."
Draco slowly calms down, but is still angry at Loki's trickery, "Forgive me for my sudden rage, Te Fiti. But you know very well that Loki is nothing more but a trickster and a terrible god!"
Watching at the cliffside of the island were Cayden's brothers and Solaria's sisters, as well as the Ocean. They watched as Te Fiti tried to calm down an enraged Draco. They knew very well the Dragon God's great hatred towards Loki, for it was he who kept messing with Draco's dragon creation and stole the Lycanwing creation to turn into a curse to an unexpected Viking. That's why he didn't visit the Norse Region anymore, for he stayed here, in the Polynesian Region, to create dragons peacefully and as gifts for Te Fiti's islands.
"Lord Draco really hates Loki." Said the youngest of the Vahloks named Velox.
The wise one brother, Raghnall, nodded his head, "Indeed, little brother, Loki has been nothing more than a nuisance to Lord Draco."
"That we all agree." Bellator, the warrior Vahlok, agrees with his brother, "Loki has done nothing but to ruin Lord Draco's creations."
"Here, here, all he does is ruin everyone's lives and now, he messes with the people that both Lord Draco and Te Fiti blessed." one of Solaria's sisters, Luminous, said with a grunt, "I'll never understand that god."
"Neither of us will." Astra grumbles before looking at Sicarius, who was looking at the two gods, "What do you think, Sicarius?"
Sicarius was silent, his expression remaining blank. He was considered the most quiet and deadliest one in the group, and one that shouldn't be underestimated. "I think that our lord will rip Loki into pieces." Was his response, and everyone agreed, 'cause Draco looked like he was going to rip Loki into pieces when he got his claws on him.
"We must go to the Norse Region to help them change back," Te Fiti said to Draco, who was slowly calming down.
Draco releases steam from his nostrils and sighs, "Understood, Te Fiti, but when I find Loki, I'LL make sure he turns them back, whether he wants to or not." He growls, already making plans to threaten Loki. He then looks at Te Fiti with a calm expression. "Do you wish for assistance in getting there?"
Te Fiti shook her head, declining his generous offer, "I wish to follow you there rather than riding on you in my human form. May I suggested we try something else for a change?"
"Like what?"
Te Fiti gave a kind yet playful smile towards Draco, "I always wonder what it would be like to fly like a dragon."
Understanding her request, Draco gave a nod of approval. Te Fiti turns herself into her island form and her heart suddenly grows from the ground by a flower. Draco's eyes glowed before releasing a powerful and gentle flame at it. The Heart glowed every brightly and consumed the flame, forming it into a dragoness made out of plants and fauna. Draco gave Te Fiti a dragon form, allowing her to travel to the sky and get to Asgard quickly.
"Shall we?" Te Fiti asked Draco.
Nodding, Draco spread his massive wing and took off with Te Fiti, the Vahloks, and the Goldenhearts following him. The Ocean withdrew back and followed them below. Draco and Te Fiti are going to help their companions, as well as making sure that Loki turns them back. Even if Draco will have to use force.
And trust me, he will use force.
Night Fury Moana and Aliikai were soaring together to the sky, laughing about as they continued doing tricks together. Watching them from the cliff were the others, they were amused to see how both sisters are not yet tired.
"Wow, they don't look like they're gonna come down anytime soon." Astrid said with a smile.
"Well, knowing those two, it will take them until nightfall to come down." Skrill Keoni said, which Nasir translated, which earned light chuckles from the group.
Tara, watching the sisters fly around, a pang guilt came to her chest as she looked towards Skrill Lani and Water Dragon Malie. "Guys...I'm sorry that you were turned by my good for nothing dad."
"Hey, it wasn't your fault, Tara." Skrill Keoni assures her, "Like you said, your father likes to cause mischief to anyone."
"Yeah, usually me! He cursed me before I was even born! And now...now he's messing with my friends." Tara sighs as she looks back to the two laughing Night Furies, "I just...I just wish I can have a peaceful life without Loki ruining it for me."
Just then, a gentle wing was draped on her, causing Tara to look up to see it was Water Dragon Malie giving her an assuring smile, "We don't blame you for this to happen, Tara. It was actually a fun experience."
"Except for the part where we were tricked by Loki." Skrill Keoni said, which Gil translated, earning laughter from the group.
"What's so funny?" Night Fury Moana asked them, landing on the ground with Aliikai.
"Oh, Keoni just telling us about how you guys enjoy being dragons while not being happy that you were all turned by Loki." Coral explains to the two Night Furies.
"No argument here." Night Fury Moana said with a smile, laying next to her fiancé with her sister beside her.
"So...how long do we have to wait for Lord Draco and Te Fiti?" Maui asked, holding his hook while Mini Maui shrugged his shoulders.
Cayden lifted his head and looked up to the sky, "Not long." Cayden spoke, which Nasir translated.
Looking up, they saw some figures in the sky and heading towards them. The dragons, including three people that were turned, got on their feet as Draco and Te Fiti landed along with the rest of the Vahloks and Goldenhearts. The Freedom Bringers and the dragons bowed at the two deities. The Dragon Riders quickly followed and bowed at the two deities.
"Greetings to the God of Dragons and the Island Goddess." Jade greeted the two deities respectfully, "We are humble to meet your good gracious."
"There is no need for formalities, Lady Jade." Draco said through their minds, his voice was rich and powerful that almost made the riders fall on to the ground, "We came here to assist you all in traveling to Asgard."
Te Fiti nodded her dragon head, "Indeed, we have much to do, especially finding Loki." She informs them before she notices Tuffnut looking at her strangely, "Is there something wrong?"
"I thought you were a giant plant-lady." Tuffnut stupidly, earning looks from his friends and dragons, who were annoyed and angry for disrespecting a goddess. He notices this and gives a questioning look, "What?"
"Tuffnut..." Hiccup gritted his teeth as he growled at him, "Show respect to the goddess of life!"
"I was just asking." Tuffnut said, which earned smack on the head by the tail of Barf & Belch, "OW!"
"Great Goddess, we apologize for our human's bad behavior." Barf apologizes to Te Fiti, bowing his head along with his brother.
Te Fiti smiles at them gently, "There is no need for that, I understand that some of your humans have um..." Te Fiti glanced towards Tuffnut's fallen form while Ruffnut laughed at his misfortune, "...'Colorful' personalities...but I can assure you, I am not offended by his words."
Everyone sighs in relief, knowing that Te Fiti is a kind and gentle goddess, but they worried about Draco as they noticed his um...unhappy expression. They could tell that Draco really, I mean, REEAALLLYYY hates Loki. And Tara agrees. For all history, Loki keeps messing around Draco's dragon creations for the Norse Region. And you wouldn't believe how many times Draco had tried his best not to burn Asgard down because of Loki. Anyways, back to the topic at hand, Draco and Te Fiti can help everyone get to Asgard safely. And you're all wondering how Te Fiti can go to Asgard. Well, she may be a goddess of another region, but she is close friends with Sif (Thor's Wife) and Frigg (Odin's Wife), the goddesses have good hearts, plus they would help each other the best way they can.
"All right, so...how do we get to Asgard?" Coral asked the two gods.
"Simple, get on your dragons and hang on. The way there will be a very interesting ride." Draco explains, almost sounding like a warning.
So, without questioning the Dragon God, the Riders and Freedom Bringers get on their dragons while Tara turns into her Lycanwing form and Maui into his Giant Hawk form. Everyone took off from the sky and followed Draco and Te Fiti, high above the clouds. As they were high and far from the human village, Draco released a powerful roar that opened a portal, which shocked the Dragon Riders, before they all entered. Everyone, minus Draco, Te Fiti, the Vahloks, and the Goldenhearts, screamed or roared in amazement/fear (mostly Fishlegs, Snotlout, and Gil), before they reached the end. And what they saw looks like they came from a story.
Right in front of them was a magical world filled with magic.
Asgard, the Home of the Gods.
The Dragon Riders always heard stories of Asgard when they were young. A world filled with magic and gods alike. They never imagine seeing it here, up close, and personal. It felt...it felt like a dream. They would continue staring until Draco snaps them out of their trance.
"Follow me!" Draco ordered them, flying towards a certain location.
They followed Draco through the sky of Asgard, where they saw many flying creatures they heard in Asgard from the stories. They soon came towards a bridge, where they saw what appears to be a golden dome building and inside was a warrior wearing a golden armor. And it was none other than Heimdall, the God of Foresight, Surveillance, Order and Foreknowledge. Heimdall's bright orange eyes looked up to see Draco, Te Fiti, and their companions landing at the entrance; he bows at the two gods with great respect.
"Greetings Lord Draco and Lady Te Fiti." Heimdall greeted them.
"Oh, Heimdall, there is no need to be so formal." Te Fiti said to Heimdall kindly.
"But I must, after all, you all came here in search of Loki." Heimdall said to them.
Tuffnut and Ruffnut gasped in shock, "How did he know?" Tuffnut whispers to his sister.
"Maybe he could read minds?" Ruffnut suggested.
Fishlegs, who is respectful to the gods, finds this offensive and rude, "Ruff, Tuff, this is Heimdall! The God of Foresight, he knows that we're looking for Loki." He explains Heimdall's power to the destructive twins.
"Ooh...sorry." Both Twins apologize unison.
Heimdall waved them off, "No worries, I know what had happened, and understand that he has offended both Lord Draco and Lady Te Fiti, by messing with the people that have blessed." Heimdall explained the reason and nodded, "And I agree, Loki has crossed the line and broken another rule."
"Rule what rule?" Hiccup asked before he quickly added, "Um...Lord Heimdall."
Heimdall gave a small nod of understanding at his words and explained the situation, "Loki should have never messed with the mortals that any gods or goddesses that have blessed them. There will be consequences."
"Yeah, him getting pulverized by either me or Lord Draco...but mostly me!" Tara said, already in her human form, as she let out an angry growl.
Heimdall looks at Tara and realizes something, "You are the Demigod child of Loki and Fiona Aaberg, I presume?"
Tara looks towards Heimdall, doing her best to keep her anger at bay, and answers, "Yeah, yeah, I'm 'illegitimate child' of Loki and the Lycanwing girl."
"I understand your hatred towards Loki, Tara." Heimdall said to her calmly, "But I can assure you, dear Tara, that we Asgardians have no grudge or prejudice against you. For you are also a victim to your father's tricks."
Tara crosses her arms with a scoff, "Yeah, and not a good role model too."
"He never is, he never once visits his other children." Heimdall said.
"Wait, he has other kids?" Skrill Keoni asked, which Gil translated.
"Oh, yes, before Tara, he sired three children with a giantess, Angerboda. They are Hel, the goddess of death; Jörmungand the World Serpent; and Fenrir the Wolf." Heimdall listed out the names of Loki's other children.
"...Never mind, forget I even ask." Skrill Keoni grumbled, regretting asking about Loki's children.
"So...does that mean that Tara isn't an only child anymore?" Coral stated the obvious.
Tara scoffs, "I doubt they'll accept me as their sibling." She mutters out, looking onto the ground.
"In any case, do you know where Loki is, Lord Heimdall?" Yasmina asked the gatekeeper.
"Please, you call me Heimdall. And to answer your question, Loki retreated somewhere deep in the forest of Asgard, hiding from Draco when he senses his presence." Heimdall explains to them.
"Coward/Coward." Both Tara and Draco said unison in a dry yet angry tone.
"I can contact Thor to assist you all." Heimdall offers, which earn astonished looks from the Vikings.
"Wait, you can call Thor? As in...Thor the God of Thunder?" Hiccup asked in shock.
"As in the awesome god of thunder that can kick anyone's butts?!" Snotlout exclaims in excitement and bewilderment.
"And call upon a storm to destroy anything in his path!" Tuffnut added loudly, grinning like crazy along with his sister.
Heimdall stared at the Thorston Twins briefly, clearly regretting his words to offer Thor's assistance, "...Yes...and I clearly regret this offer, how about I ask Ullr's assistance instead?"
Draco sighs and shakes his head, "There is no need for that, Heimdall. My Vahloks shall search for Loki without any assita-"
"DRACO!" A deep, loud booming voice that sounds very cheerful came from behind the group.
Everyone, minus the Vahloks and Goldenhearts, was stunned by this, but Draco winced at that voice. His face shows a great deal of dread and annoyance. Turning towards the entrance, they saw nonother than Thor himself. The muscular, bearded man grins towards Draco, who was not too pleased to see him, walking past the bewildered teens with Mjölnir on his side.
"How ya been!" Thor laughed, smacking the shoulder of the dragon god hard yet playfully.
Thor's hit could break bones of any mortal or enemy, but not Draco, he didn't feel a thing. Unlike Loki, Draco shows respect towards Thor. However, the God of Thunder can be a little...wild. He drinks too much, he's loud, and he's very, very violent when it comes to fighting or partying, but mostly partying. Draco never did like coming here because Asgardians party too wildly. He prefers peace and quiet, that's why he stayed in the Polynesian Region for a while, where he and Te Fiti had a nice conversation.
Draco bites down a groan as he turns towards Thor, "Hello, Son of Odin."
Thor laughs again, "No need for that, Draco! What brings ya here?! You should've told us that you were coming back! We could've thrown ya welcome party! HAHA!"
"Please don't." Draco begged, dreading the party that they would throw. "I have more important matters to deal with right now and-What are you looking at?" Draco turned towards the Thunder God, noticing his gaze toward Te Fiti's dragon form. Then a grin crept towards his face before looking at the Dragon God, his grin was wide and an amuse look came to his eyes.
The next thing they knew, Thor burst into a fist of laughter. His laugh was so loud that it sounded like thunder.
"By my father's beard! I knew one day you would propose to yar gal! And now look at her! She's fit to be your wife!" Thor laughed loudly.
Everyone stared at Thor with wide eyes before turning towards Draco with shock and confused expressions. They didn't know that Draco and Te Fiti have that kind of relationship!? Draco lets out a sigh like groans while Te Fiti makes an awkward chuckle. Thor and some of the gods here always believe that Draco and Te Fiti are together. After what happened with the Lycanwing incident years ago, Draco stayed at the Polynesian Region to clear his mind, whereupon he met Te Fiti. The Mother of the Islands was kind to him and showed great generosity. The two deities chatted for long hours, laughing, and getting to know each other. And to thank for her kind hospitality, he made her dragons for her islands as gifts of thank you and gratitude.
But when he invited her to come with him to Asgard, to give her a tour to a new land. Everyone, mostly Thor, thought Draco had found himself a wife and would make new dragon deities. However, both Draco and Te Fiti keep telling them they were just good friends, but they either didn't believe them or didn't listen. And would often tease Draco about his new 'mate'. And yet another reason why Draco never comes to visit here, is because everyone is so rowdy.
"Thor, for the last thousand times, Te Fiti and I are just friends, and we are here for important business." Draco said in a serious tone, trying his best not to groan when Thor continues grinning at him, until the Dragon God added this, "Your brother did something idiotic again, Thor."
The once large grin soon vanished from Thor's face and was replaced by a frown, "Oh, what did he do this time?! Did he steal another one of your dragon creations? Set a village on fire? Or messed with a mortal again?"
"The third part, actually. And make that three." Draco said, gesturing to Night Fury Moana, Skrill Keoni, and Water Dragon Malie, "He turned to the people that we blessed into dragons, without my consent."
Thor sighs and shakes his head, "Again with Loki's mischief!" He sighs as he looks at Draco, "I take it you wish to search for my brother?"
"Indeed, we wish to make this as quick as possible. And no, we are not going to plan a wedding." Draco quickly added the last part towards Thor, preventing the Thunder God from saying any remarks about him and Te Fiti.
"Oh, don't be like that! You and Te Fiti are perfect for each...other..." Thor slowly stops when he spotted Tara from the crowd. "By my father's name...you're Tara!"
Tara steps back a bit when Thor says her name. "Yeah...I'm surprised you know me. Given the fact that I'm a-GAH?!" Tara suddenly yelled when she was picked up from the ground and lifted in the air by a happy Thor.
"HAHAHA! I finally met you!" Thor said happily, laughing as she spun Tara around.
"What the heck are you so happy about?!" Tara yelled in confusion. She thought that Thor was not gonna be happy to know about Loki's secret child, but yeesh. He seems over enthusiastic.
Thor puts her down and places both his massive hands on her shoulders, "Of course, I'm happy! You know how long I've wanted to finally meet you?!"
"Not really..." Tara mutters out. In truth, she thought that her godly side of the family wouldn't be interested in her.
"Don't be like that! Ever since we found out about your existence, we wanted to bring ya to Asgard!" Thor said happily until he realized something, "That reminds me! You haven't met your relatives!"
This causes Tara to almost jaw drop at Thor's enthusiasm, "Hold it! I'm not here to mingle!" Tara exclaims, pushing herself away from Thor, "We need to find Loki and change my friends back! So then, I or Lord Draco could beat the living daylights out of him!"
Thor looks at Tara's seriousness and then to her friends who were turned into dragons. They were giving nervous vibes as the God of Thunder was looking at them. After a few seconds, Thor gave a simple look and said, "All right, I'll help you find my mischievous brother. But you have to promise me something!"
Tara gave a look of uncertainty, "And that is?" She dared questions Thor, even though he somewhat her uncle from her dad's side of the family. But she was still warry.
Thor gave a huge grin and said his proposal, "You'll have to meet the rest of the Asgardians!"
Tara's face was confused for a while but in a few seconds, it became dumbfounded, "WHAT?!"
Thor wanted her to meet the rest of the gods! Is he insane?! I mean, sure, she was curious about them, but stopped caring soon after her mother died. All Tara did was to survive for a couple of years before living at Motunui. She isn't sure if she should accept, however...
she glanced towards her three friends that were turned into dragons. They were turned into dragons against their will, and they still have a mission to uphold. And Thor is the only one that knows how to catch Loki. So, if she wants to help her friends, she has to accept the bargain.
"Fine, I'll meet with the rest of the Asgardians, IF you help us get Loki first." Tara said, finally agreeing to the bargain.
Thor laughs joyfully, "Wonderful!" Thor looked over to Heimdall and asked, "Heimdall! Could you tell me where Loki is hiding?"
"Deep within the forest of Asgard due North from here." Heimdall responded, "But be careful, Loki has planned this and might cause some deceptions."
"Don't worry, Heimdall." Thor brought out Mjölnir, spinning it around for a short second, while the Dragon Riders awed at him and his weapon, "I'll throw Mjölnir at him."
"Just be careful," Heimdall sighs and looks at the Dragon God and Island Goddess, "Please keep an eye on him," He pleaded to them softly.
"Don't worry, we will." Draco said calmly.
