Berk

It hadn't been too long since he left the Bewilderbeast's nest, and he still hadn't seen everything the world had to offer... It was a tough choice. To return to Valka's side, or not and live freely?

Jewel saw his sudden hesitation, as if he was troubled by something. It made her worry. Even though they only met for a day and were a bit awkward, she felt like they wee close friends. None of the other Lightfuries would train with her, only rarely.

"Is something bothering you? You can talk to me about it."

"Sigh~ it's just, I'm not sure whether to go back to the person who I grew up with, or live traveling. I don't want to leave either of them." Valka was important to him, but traveling as much as he wanted without restriction made him feel like a true Nightfury.

"Well, if it were me, I would go traveling. Let me tell you a secret." Glade leaned closer to her.

"I'm going to leave this place and go on my own journey in a couple years." She sounded like that was a huge secret so he was surprised.

"Why do you have to keep it a secret?" He was actually pretty curious.

"I'm actually the prettiest of the Lightfuries, so they sort of all look up to me. I'm also a female, so they don't want me dieing the moment I step out."

It did make sense, Jewel had the lightest eyes and smoothest glittering scales. The more he looked closely, he felt an attraction to the scales. However, Glade didn't have any interest in doing that. Besides, the age difference was actually little big.

Glade was around eighteen or nineteen, while Jewel was probably fifteen. He definitely had a weird mindset compared to other dragons.

"How about this, I plan on leaving for another little adventure tommorow. If we ever see eachother again, we can catch up on everything, it'll be fun." To be honest Glade also felt as though they were close friends, it didn't make much sense, but he didn't question it.

"If your leaving tommorow, then let's have the most fun today! Then, we can talk about all our journeys when we see eachother again." With Jewel's suggestion, they flew around the skies around the entrance to the hidden world.

She had even taught him a few pointers on flying even more silently without shifting any clouds. It would probably be helpful someday. Glade had also taught her how to shoot a plasma blast, even though it was a weak one.

The next day, Jewel was saying her goodbyes until the future. Glade also said goodbye, before using his full speed to rush into the cloudy sky. The weather was certainly getting much colder than before. He never noticed it, since the nest was always cold with ice, but it was much different outside.

'I wonder how Berk is doing. I guess I'll pay a visit.' He had nothing else to do anyways.

His gliding got faster, as he dashed through the clouds, headed for Berk. Fortunately, he could remember the directions he came and went from. It was pretty handy to be able to do that.

It took him able few hours of non-stop flight at full speed, but Berk was in his sights.

'It looks a lot bigger than before. And... dragons?' The big changes that went inside of Berk truly surprised him. From killing a dragon on sight, to not retaliating as much, and not killing them either. It sort of looked like they owned the village, it was kinda funny.

Glade got just underneath the clouds, to hide his presence. Slowly he got closer to Berk. the forest on the rest of the island got bigger, and so did the village.

He spotted the rock mountain thing he used to stay on. It brought back some familiarity. Glade silently landed on it, and watched over what happened in the village. It almost made him laugh.

He saw a few new faces, but also dragons running rampant across town. Some Terrible Terrors and Deadly Nadders. Even a Monstrous Nightmare had been stealing food and shooting buildings.

Night fell, and nothing seemed to have calmed down that much. He could see clearly in the dark night.

'A Deadly Nadder, Monstrous Nightmare, Gronkle, Zippleback, and ... a nightfury!?!?!?' He didn't expect to see a nightfury in Berk. However, upon closer inspection, that Nightfury had some contraption on its tail.

Then, something deep inside him sparked unlike before. He wanted to fight with that nightfury. Glade felt this strange dominance as a stronger dragon. He quickly shook off this feeling, but he did want to try something.

Glade quickly ran off the edge and dived down. As he got closer to the busy dragons, he shot one plasma blast as the red part of the tail. Glade immediately pulled up into the sky too see what would happen.

PPPFFFFFF-------! RROooaawwrr~----!?!?!?!

'It blew up?! Isn't the tail supposed to be hard to destroy? But, it looked a little different. Does that mean he only has half a tail?' The red half of the tail burned to ashes and all five of the dragons became wary.

Too bad that Glade already went back to his spot on the rock mountain and laid down for a rest.

"Yawn~~!" The moment he opened his eyes, it was probably midday and a huge commotion was going on.

'That nightfury from before....' The nightfury was still outside and was eating fish, along with the other four. The Vikings also gathered in the middle of the village.

They seemed quite angry, and he listened in on what was going on.

\\\\\\\\\

"Look, dad, I can just train them a little longer! I just need some time...!" That skinny boy seemed a little familiar, but it didn't click just yet in Glade's memory.

"You can't even control your own dragons, what makes you think you can train all the other dragons?" He actually recognized this human. It was Stoic!

He had a vague memory from the time with Valka. But other than that, here were quite a lot more kids in the village. The skinny one, twins, a fat one, and a blonde girl and black haired boy.
