Hiccup, the skilled blacksmith, was busy at his forge, and Hosa was waiting off to the side. She was not yet accustomed to the intense heat of the forge.
It has a mouthpiece with piping connected to the mouthpiece, which runs down to a canister with straps.
"So this will help me breathe underwater," Hosa looked at the apparatus.
"Yep, from the testing that Candunde did with the Oxygen Tree we found out they purify air, one leaf lasts for five hours," Hiccup said as he checked the workmanship.
"Right, so how am I going to test this," Hosa asked as she walked over and looked at the mask.
"We'll head to the shore and just go under the surface to test if it's waterproof and if you can breathe. If we get two ticks, we move on to the suit," Hiccup explained. Hosa nodded, her anticipation growing as she put the apparatus over her head, ready for the first test. The two then made their way to the shore.

Jack and Sabre were flying above a small island west of Yin-Yang Island. They observed the island's people from their vantage point in the sky.
"Silent approach," Jack said as Sabre moved down quickly and without a sound as the two stuck to the clouds' shadows.
They stealthily moved to the shore of the island and began to traverse the beach and the forest, their eyes keenly observing the people held in irons. "Slavers," Jack whispered, and Sabre nodded in agreement. The teen pulled out a throwing knife, a gift from Hiccup, and prepared for action.
The blade was flat, and the knife's body looked like a dragon's head with a ring.
Jack watched as one of the slavers approached, knowing he had one chance with each of them.
He found his opening, and he threw the knife.

Genu and his dragon worked in perfect harmony in the cave, mining out more Mythril for Hiccup. They shared a silent understanding as they broke off another rock, their combined efforts ensuring a steady supply of the precious metal.
But then it was all put into a small cart, and a Komodo Rhino pulled it out of the mine.
Both of them came out to see Hosa drying off at the forge. "So, how was the first test?" Genu asked them as he started to load the ore that he had gotten into a large area for Hiccup to get to.
"Good, but the iron was too heavy, and some of the joins came undone," Hosa told him as Genu nodded at her.
"Well, it's good that I got some Mythril for Hiccup, then, " he said as their leader nodded.
"Yep, and all it needs is securing so that Hose does not have to breathe water," he said. They smiled as he started to heat up some of the cyan metal, then moved it over to the point that it got loose and hammered the Mythril in.
He did the same to the other side and looked at Hosa and Genu. "Can the two of you head down and test this?" he asked them as they nodded at him and walked down to the shore.

Candunde was walking through a small town. Looking around, she moved from stall to stall, buying items such as books of random things, weapons, rolls of cloth, and small things.
Once she had gotten enough, she walked into the forest, where Hunter was waiting for her with two people.
They were both children around ten years of age.
A boy with short brown hair and green eyes and he was wearing a white tunic, dark green pants, and brown boots.
The other was a girl with short ginger hair and green eyes. She wore a blue tunic, dark red skirt, and dark red boots.
Candunde looked at both children. "Are you two sure that you want to leave your home?" she asked them as she started to put the stuff she bought away into the bags on Hunter's saddle.
"Yes, Gwen and I love each other, but I'm being forced to marry Kai of clan Green, while Gewn is to be married to a boy called Kevin of clan Leven," the boy said as Gwen nodded.
"So you wish to be yourselves and brake the mold that you have been put in," Candunde asked them as they nodded at her.
The teen helped the two children onto the saddle before she got onto it herself, and Hunter took off.

Jack moved across a house as quietly as he could and pulled out another of his knives as he spied two men below him.
He took a breath and dropped down as both were shocked, and he quickly slit their throats before they could say anything.
"And that's another two down, and Sabre should be getting that one right about-" Jack said before a house of salvers burst into flames. He smiled as the boss walked out and spotted the teen and his dragon.
"Who are you," He asked as he pulled out his sword and looked at Jack.
"I would tell you my name, but it's not like you would remeber it when you die," Jack said as he picked up a sword from one of the downed slavers.
"You little shit," The head slaver yelled out as he ran towards Jack yelling.
Jack tossed out two of his knives, and they cut into the man's knees.
As he moved towards Jack, the teen moved to the side and brought his sword across the man's leg, cutting it off.
The man fell to the ground as he looked at Jack, who walked over to him, "I am Jack Shadowblade, Leader of the Brotherhood of the Night, Shadow to King Hiccup Dovahkiin of Draconia," Jack called out to all the salves that were watching, "If you so wish to leave this place once I free you, Draconia is new and being built, and if you wish to join, I will lead you their, if not, I will not force you," He told them all as the head Slaver looked at him.
The slaves started to cheer as Jack raised the blade and removed the Slaver's head from his body.
"Now, who wants to join us," He asked with a smile as he started to let people out of their irons and cages.

Lona was drawing up building designs when she saw Candunde return with the two children. "I did not know we were in the business of kidnapping," she called out as Candunde laughed at her.
"They are going to be the first in our Dragon School," She told the other girl.
Lona looked at Candunde before shifting papers around until she found what she was looking for. "I'll take the engine to Hiccup now to see if it needs any unfaltering," Lana said as she got up.

Cerly used a hoe to till the ground to prepare for planting vegetables.
"Alright then, Shatter. Do you have the seeds?" Cerly asked her dragon, who walked over.
She pulled a handful of seeds and put them into the ground as she moved along.
As she was going to move on to the next part of plating, Tinley flew over, "Cerly, Jack has brought some new people to the island, he freed them from salvers, so some down to the beach," He told her before he had his dragon fly off.
The teen looked to where he flew off and then got onto the back of Shatter, and the two flew down to the beach.
When they arrived, Jack stood beside Hiccup as a boat approached the beach.
"How did you get it here so fast," Hiccup asked Jack.
"I quickly trained two Orams to pull them here," He told his king as he pointed to two ship-sized blue sea dragons.
They all watched as the people on the boat individually designed a rope ladder, and then they walked over to the group.
"Welcome to Draconia," Hiccup said as he smiled at the former slaves.

Over the next week, buildings started to pop up around the island's central area, with a path leading straight to Hiccup's castle.
Homes were the main thing being built, as Jack saved around eighty-one people from that island, and all wanted a new life in Draconia.
Hosa was leading a group that wished to be the fishermen of Draonia, and they used the large boat that came in to start the fishing.
Lona led men and women in building a school for all the children of Dracoia, while Candunde taught the students how to count and read.
Hiccup was working in the forge with four men and two women as they worked on the equipment for the island's people.
Cerly was working with a group of people as they started to build up farms for the island.
Jack was running a small group through some fighting drills while Tinley had a group of dragons above them flying around.
Naju and Thai were teaching two groups of people how to use a sword as he had them follow his drills.
Genu and a small group were in the cave, using picks to remove some ore and other minerals.
Hilera had the last group, having them scout points around the island.
And often, Dezeha would appear on the island and give aid when needed, but other times, she would just watch as the island took shape.

Over on Berk, things were quite the opposite as things started to go downhill faster than they had ever done before.
First, when Hiccup left, Astrid was the one who got to fight the Nightmare, and while she killed it, she was named a Viking to defend her home. It got her nowhere as she could not kill any of the dragons that attacked Berk, as Stoick would have her put out fires, and most of the fires that were made were not created by the dragons. It was by the twins who were making the fires with Snotlout.
Talking about the new heir of Berk, he had destroyed three hours when he tried to chase off a Nadder from getting into where they were holding the sheep and yak. And it was thanks to him that Berk lost three months worth of food when he lost a basket of fish to the sea one day.
Then we moved on to the twins, who were now hated by everyone on the island for everything they were doing. From setting fire to the houses of the five elder clans to letting the dragon loose from the academy.
Fishlegs was no better as he was now the main one that Snotlout and the twins targeted to attack for no reason.
And so Stoick looked at his village and started to make a long trek up to his mother's house. He knocked on the door before he walked in, "Mother, I have to ask what I should do," he asked as Gothi looked at him before she used her staff to point at the door, and the man closed it.
"My son, you have to know that this village is going to suffer for the pain that you put Hiccup through, though. The gods have seen it so," Gothi whispered to him as Stoick sighed.
"So they are displeased with me," He asked as Gothi nodded.
"They are, the Norse gods was unjutsly putting Hiccup in danger so a goddess challeneged them and she won the right and aided Hiccup," Gothi told him as Stoick nodded at her, "And when the Norse gods reiliasesd that they were in the wrong they wished to punish us until Hiccup himself says that Berk has atoned for everything it has done to him," She explained to her son.
Stoick nodded, "Then I will make it right, I will find the nest, and then search for my son, and when I find him, I will beg for his forgiveness," Stoick told her as he got up and left.
Gothi watched as her son left before he sighed, "When will he learn that death is not the awnswer to everything," She asked aloud.
