--------------------------
Eylimi's POV:
--------------------------
Three Months later
--------------------------
"Alright, ready gang?" I asked as we mounted our dragons. We are actually extremely lucky we have our dragons. These are few of the dragons left on Berk.
"Ugh, yes. We have been ready for the past hour!" Vika complained.
"I don't even understand why we are going. Your dad said not to leave." Viko added, leaning back on his Zippleback head, Yawn.
"Well, we are leaving because if no ones going to find the dragons then I will." I replied.
"You know, we could just have faith they will come back." Mudskip said, worried about the journey ahead. We all looked at him like he was an idiot.
"Ugh, I can't wait any longer. Let's go!" Vidgrip complained as he took off. I nudged Cloudjumper slightly before he took off after him. Finally we were all flying away from Berk. I stole dads map again so we can find that island and go from there. Great I just reminded myself of Hunter.
"Eylimi, you okay?" Mudskip asked me. They must have noticed.
"Yeah, fine." I said back. Turning away to wipe the tear off my cheek.
----time skip----
"Okay we should be....here." I said as I looked down to notice now the island gone. Where did it go?
"Ha, funny. You want us to land in the middle of the ocean." Viko laughed.
"Probably so snotgrip can take a bath." Vika whispered to him.
"I heard that! And don't call me that!" He crossed his arms. "Stupid cousins..." He muttered.
"Guys, I swear the island was right, here." I looked around but there was nothing in sight.
"Well, I don't know about you guys but I can't see anything." Viko leaned back in the saddle.
"Probably because he's blind." Vika giggled.
"Did anyone tell you, you're annoying?" He asked her.
"Has anyone told you?!" She yelled back.
"So what's the plan now?" Mudskip asked.
"The Sandwraiths were heading South-West. So were the dragons." I said out loud but talking to myself. "We head South-West then!" I proposed, turning Cloudjumper around.
"Ugh, more travel?" Vidgrip complained.
"I'm hungry!" Mudskip sighed.
"Hi Hungry. I'm Viko." He smiled proud of his answer.
"No, he's Stupid, and I'm Vika." She laughed.
"And I'm Goingtokillyou! Would you like to talk?" I made them shut up. There was no reply.
"Peace and quiet at last." Vidgrip smiled, leaning back to look at the sky on Quicksand.
"Says the Muttonhead." I quietly heard Vika whisper to Viko. Ugh...there is never silence.
----time skip----
"Haha! Land!" Viko yelled from behind me.
"My names Vika not Land you idiot!" She hit him on the head with her mace. I guess they are still stuck on that same conversation.

"Woah! Do you see that?" Mudskip asked me. I took a closer look to see an extremely strange shaped island. It was a golden colour with these strange tall fin like things in the middle. What the? As we got closer I noticed another island behind it. At least this one looked normal. It was tall and covered in trees. The trees were strange though. I swear I saw them move. They were all different coloured too.
"THOR!" Vidgrip yelled as we got even closer. In front of us you could see the two islands in more detail. The first one I mentioned really did have this weird fin thing through the middle of it. It disappeared under the water when it reached the edge. At the other end of it there are what look like antlers coming out of the water. They must just be strange trees or something.
The other island looked the same except for one small detail. As we got closer I realised the moving trees weren't actually trees. They were dragons. The whole island was smothered in dragons. Dragons on the ground, dragons on the side of the walls, dragons flying above. An island of dragons!
We flew closer until we were soaring above the island. There were so many dragons. Most of them I have never even seen before. There was this weird one with a long body and a what looked like moustache. Another looked like a Nadder except with a monstrous nightmare head and really thick legs. I saw it hoop along the ground in great leaps. I saw another in the water, it looked like a duck with its head arched and floating perfectly. This was unbelievable.
"Well, we found the dragons." I smiled a fake smile just looking at all the dragons below me. Suddenly I was nearly hit by one as a giant green dragon with a long neck swooped up from under me. Cloudjumper spun back into flight as he twisted out of the way of it. I saw the green dragon soar over the middle of the island and dive right into the centre of a tall peek.
"Where did it just go?" Viko asked.
"Come on, let's go find out." I told them. As we hovered over the mountain I saw an entry at the top. Almost like a volcano but without the lava. I dove down as the others followed behind me. It was a narrow space and there were tight turns. As we reached the exit of the tunnel like space though I gasped.
Inside the mountain there was a huge haven. It was covered in green like the one me and Hunter once lived in...never mind. I told Cloudjumper to land. I noticed most of the dragons were outside because it wasn't as packed in here. I think this area was mostly for food or something. I landed as the others landed behind me. I hopped off Cloudjumper who suddenly started rolling around on the floor with the other dragons. What is he doing? He was smiling like an idiot. Weird. Talk about making yourself at home.

"Eylimi, what is this place." Vika asked as I walked in circles, looking up and down at the place circling me. Suddenly I heard something snap. I turned my attention to where the noise came. It echoed around the cave. I looked up where on a ledge stood a figure. I squinted to try and get a better look. They were dressed in dragon scales. They had a helmet that covered their face. It had spikes on it that looked like a dragon. The strange person looked down to us.
"Hey there! Names Viko, incase you didn't know that. I mean, I'm pretty famous." Viko randomly yelled up to the stranger. My eyes widened.
"Viko! What if they are hostile!" I whisper-yelled at him.
"Pft, they look harmless." Vika answered for him. I looked back up to the person where they stood still, just staring down to us hiding their identity. I saw them lift their hand. Their hand stretched to our direction as if they were going to shoot something out of it or something. Suddenly I herd of dragons flew up from behind them. My eyes widened. They looked at where the person was pointing before they dove down towards us.
"Yep definitely hostile. RUN!" I yelled as I hopped on the back of Cloudjumper. The dragons began to shoot at us. They kept missing our dragons though. I tried to get Cloudjumper in the air but he stayed on the ground like the others dragons. "Come on Cloudjumper!" I ordered trying again.
He growled at me as if he wasn't listening to me. I took my staff and nudged a certain scale near his tail. He roared before taking to the air. I swung the staff around my head as the other dragons copied and followed me.
The four of us began to fly around the haven avoiding the dragons chasing us. I looked down where the person stood there watching the show. They were so hidden. Suddenly he did some strange hand signal and a dragon dove at me.
I quickly shifted my weight to the right on Cloudjumper and he rolled that direction. I ran around his neck as he spun. The dragon shot past, nearly hitting Vidgrip behind me. I looked around for an exit. The only way was the way we came in.
"The only way, is up!" I yelled back to the others before I stepped back on Cloudjumper, facing his head up as he flew that direction. I shot through the tunnel. I could see the light of the sky up ahead. "Come on, come on!" I muttered to myself. Suddenly I noticed a specific dragon block the exit. No way. Hoffersons bane...
"FLIGHTMARE!!!" Mudskip yelled. It shone a bright light as I excited the tunnel with the others. Some mist or something hit me. I noticed I wasn't moving. Oh no. I fell off Cloudjumper. I couldn't even scream. All I knew was I was falling to my death, face first to the ground. Below me I noticed the same masked person on a dragon. I didn't get a clear image to see what kind of dragon it was but I knew it was a purplish colour. I didn't really care I was paralysed! I saw the person do a strange hand movement and suddenly a dragon picked me up out of my fall. As the dragon shot me back up to the sky as my frozen state wore off me.
I screamed for the first time I could as I hung on to the dragons claws for life. I was suddenly dropped as I landed back on Cloudjumper. Wait what? Why am I not dead? I couldn't turn Cloudjumper around he just kept flying in the same direction as the others, back to Berk. I looked back as I saw the person watching us fly away. Now they were on a different dragon. I think maybe even a Skrill. Wait, Zippleback, no SpeedSailor. Wait, what dragon is that?
"We were just under attack from a super villain people!" Viko stated, breaking the silence.
"Scary." Mudskip shivered.
"Obviously but how cool!" Viko added on from him.
"Ugh." Vidgrip shook his head.
"Not as cool as when I made Sneeze try and eat you." Vika smiled, patting her Zippleback head currently known as Sneeze.
"Guys! Focus!" Mudskip brought them back to the situation at hand.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"More like what was that?" Vidgrip added.
"Duh, an amazing guy who nearly killed us!" Vika smiled. I don't even understand her anymore.
"How do you know it was a guy?" Mudskip asked her.
"Duh, didn't you notice they didn't have..." I cut her off.
"That's not the point! We found the dragons, we can't even turn ours around to go get them." I stated the facts.
"Knowing you, that was the good news, what's the bad news." Vidgrip asked.
"The bad news is we now have a new enemy. He's taken the dragons. I know it's him! He's taken them so I'm getting them back!" I frowned as I decided to just let the dragons continue back to Berk.

The Court of Souls?
What do we talk about tonight?~“How about a story?”~Fine by me. Which story? Hopefully a good one.~“There was once a lonely child in a world filled with myths, gods and demons. Only power counted there and the weak were worse than cattle. A world where survival of the fittest ruled.”~Was it strong then?~“No, but the child had a power. One that made him stand between light and darkness. Nothing could escape him, so he was shunned by his people.”~ What did he do? Did he fight his fate? Did he hide his power? What was it?~“Oh, he fought. He fought a lot. And no thing could escape his power. It was something that everyone had to live with.”~So he became a hero and changed the world?~»…”~Tell me.~“Nooo, that’s not how the story goes. This isn’t a story of a noble man, doing good amidst a sea of monsters. This is a story of a demon who was… kinder than the rest.”~A kind demon? How boring.~“I think it would be better if I tell the story, so you can judge for yourself.”~So tell the story!

Awakening
A potent tale of self-discovery. Centuries ago, the prophetic Golden Age ended in war, and history spiraled into darkness... Now, only scholars retain the last portent of the mythic city A'lara, concealed in a distant glade for the advent of the dragon mage. At the edge of the Known World, the slave Larin escapes her new lord before she meets his dark masters. Deep in the mountains, the legendary elf Kingard awaits his call to battle. When young Darek flees imperial mages tasked to exterminate shape-shifters, he launches them all on a voyage to redeem their unsought destiny. United by fate and guided by prophesy, their growing band of fugitives journey for A'lara to fight the ancient evil infiltrating the capital. But looming over the gears of fate, their enemies follow the same prophesies. With the unknown close upon them, Kingard and his allies face a mortal quest to restore their infected empire. Praise for Awakening: If you love Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkien and Tad Williams, then Awakening is a novel you will surely want to pick up. D.N.Frost is a consummate world-builder with a knack for creating characters that are complex and three-dimensional. Frost writes with graceful prose that is descriptive and well-edited. The plot is fast-paced and entertaining. What really sets this novel apart is the cartography, which is a spectacular accomplishment. Incredible world-building! - M.L. Spencer, author of The Rhenwars Saga ★★★★★ This novel was published in 2014, and it includes 19 antique watercolor maps! Check them out: Maps of Awakening: an atlas directory
