Eylimi's POV:
--------------------
"Oh I'm sorry, did I do that?" I smiled sarcastically back at Hunter as we fled down the mountain. I flicked a pile of snow in his face behind me. Both dragons slid down across the snow. It was like sitting on a sleigh. We tend to play this game often. It should be one of our competitions. It's dragon sledding.
"So that's how it's gonna be hu?" He complained before Firedrop slid past me and Cloudjumper. He slid in front so we couldn't get past.
"Out of the way fishbone!" I tried to push them out of the way.
"You said the first one to the bottom wins!" He yelled back to me. I smiled before leaning down close to Cloudjumper. He tucked his wings in so we went faster. I slid past them as I looked back. Cloudjumper kicked a pile of snow up behind us as it hit them.
"No fair!" He complained, wiping it off his face.
"Life isn't fair." I replied. He slid up next to me. I saw a pile of snow coming up to the right of me. I leaned right on Cloudjumper, pushing Firedrop and Hunter skidding to the right. I watched as they slid up the pile of snow before shooting through the air.
They did a backflip before landing to slide back on the snow. They landed just behind me. I saw something pass me. Suddenly I fireball hit the pile of snow next to me. It covered me as I shook it off.
"HUNTER!" I yelled at him as he sped past.
"I have no idea what your talking about, Eylimi." He replied with a smile. I sped back up next to him as we saw the bottom of the mountain coming our way. We looked at each other as the dragons went slightly faster. "WOAH!" Hunter yelled as suddenly another dragon swooped him.

"AHHH!" I yelled as three more dragons swooped us. We slid to the bottom of the mountain where we stopped. I stood up as me and Hunter looked at the ten or fifteen dragons flying away. They flew up to the clouds before they disappeared. "What was that?" I asked.
"I don't know." He replied.
"Where are they going?" I wondered. I watched as the dragons went completely out of sight.
----time skip----
"Eylimi, have you seen Stormfly?" Mum passed me as we entered the hanger. Me and Hunter looked at each other before I responded.
"Actually. I might know where she went." I replied, following her as she walked down the stairs into the main stables.
"Where?" She asked.
"Well, I don't know exactly where..." I began.
"Spit it out Eylimi." She ordered.
"We saw a few dragons flying away about an hour ago." I replied.
"Where were they going?" She asked.
"That's what we have been asking ourselves for the past hour." Hunter muttered.
"Why did they go?" She asked again.
"That's another thing we have been asking ourselves." Hunter answered.
"I'm going to get your father. Clean out the terrible terror stable while I'm gone won't you." She said tossing me a broom.
"Man, Astrid's frustrated today." Hunter said to himself. I looked at him with a look that said 'no kidding.'
--------------------
Hiccup's POV:
--------------------
"Anyone seen Skullcrusher? Anybody?!" Eret wondered back and forth through the square.
"BARF! Where in Thors name are you? I need you for the crop harvest!" Ruffnut yelled as her brother joined in.
"Hiccup!" Astrid called from behind me. I turned to face her as she walked over. Her shoulders covered in snow.
"What's up?" I asked. Patting the snow off her.

"Stormfly's gone." She answered.
"Looks like Skullcrusher and Barf and Beltch are too." I stated as we both turned to the concerned twins and Eret.
"Anyone got any dragon nip?" Snotlout asked as he walked past us.
"Why?" Astrid asked.
"Hookfangs acting funny. He won't stop trying to get out of his stable." He replied.
"Probably means he wants to get out. Just let him out." I told him.
"No because he will fly away. When me the twins and Eret were fishing we ended up dropping the nets because the dragons were out of control. Theirs got away but luckily I was able pull Hookfang to fly back to land." He pointed over to Eret and the twins.
"What's wrong with them?" Astrid asked.
"All the dragons on the east side of the island fled." Fishlegs suddenly approached.
"Fishlegs! Could you please not do that! Do you know how creepy that is?!" I turned around shocked to see him there.
"All the dragons on the beach and clearly the ones fishing..." He pointed to the riders with missing dragons. "...fled out of sight." He finished.
"They better come back or they're dead." Astrid muttered before walking to the academy. The others walked away too. While I had the chance I tried to take out the braid Astrid put in the back of my hair. My hairs twice as long as it was at the back so now I have this messy braid she puts there.
"Touch it and I'll braid your beard." She yelled back to me. Clearly she wasn't far enough away yet.
"It's to short to braid." I yelled back.
"You underestimate me!" She smiled before continuing to the academy.
--------------------
Eylimi's POV:
--------------------
"Come on. Let's go find them!" I hopped on Cloudjumper. We were still in the hanger after just finishing with the terrors. No wonder why they are called terrible terrors.
"I'm sure your dad will, do we have to do this now?" Hunter complained putting a bucket down.
"Yes, if we find the dragons then maybe dad will stop bugging me with the chiefing." I encouraged.
"...oh, look. We don't even have Hiccups map of the archipelago." He tried to stop me but I took a small book out of my pocket and waved it in front of his face. "Okay, we have the map but....wait how did you even get that?" He asked, grabbing the book out of my hand.
"I have my ways." I smiled and put my hands on my hips.
"Look, we don't have to go. We have lots of work to do here anyway." He sighed and picked up the bucket again. I rolled my eyes and shook my staff slightly. Firedrop picked him up and put him on her back. He dropped the bucket as I flew out of the hanger, Firedrop following behind.
"Oh, let just go!" I yelled to him, making him come with me. Now he had no choice.
"You know, you don't give people much free will." He crossed his arms.
"You would have come with me anyway." I smiled as he flew up next to me. He tossed me the book as I grabbed it out of the air.
"I guess your right. You go, I go." He smiled and sat properly in the saddle.
"I rest my case."

An Unwilling Monster
In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally? Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey. This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.

Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.
