Shawn's POV

After leaving Dragon Island, I'm quiet almost the entire flight there.

Everything okay? Toothless growls.

Yeah. I growl.

You're distracted. What are you thinking about? Toothless growls.

Why would Lukas do such a thing? I growl.

I don't know, but he's got Outcast Island following him, so we'd better be prepared for anything. Siare growls.

Gah! Oh, it's just you. I growl. Siare and Toothless give a small laugh. What's so funny? I growl.

"What's so funny, bud?" Hiccup says.

Oh, nothing, Hiccup. Toothless growls.

You think Dagur will be okay? Siare growls.

I don't know, but I kinda actually hope he is. Toothless growls. Wow. Toothless was being targeted by Dagur, yet he hopes he's okay.

"He'll be okay, bud," Hiccup says.

"Hiccup!" Stoick says.

"No time for lectures, Dad. Where's Mom?" Hiccup says.

"She's at the house- is that Dagur?" Stoick says.

"Yeah," Hiccup says.

"What happened to him?" Stoick says.

"Lukas was at Dragon Island hunting a Skrill he already had tamed and he had Dagur there so he could try to kill Dagur to take Outcast Island for himself. Lukas plans on killing all dragons, half-breed or not, and from what Shawn is saying, he's got the ability to even kill another Red Death before it even blinks," Hiccup explains.

"This ain't good. This, Lukas-" Stock sighs.

Where are you going? Carla growls as I walk away.

Oh. I was going to tell Valka about Dagur. I growl.

Okay. Carla growls.

"Whose the new Fury?" Tuffnut says, waking up to see what all the commotion was about. Diving into a bush, I change into the final pair of clothes I have.

"Tuffnut, you remember Carla, right?" I say.

"Yeah. Wait, you aren't saying-" Tuffnut starts.

"Yeah," I say.

"She looks so much like Toothless, if it weren't for the eyes," Ruffnut says, coming from around a corner.

Weren't you going to go tell Valka? Carla growls.

"Oh! Right! Thank you! Well, I've got to go. Goodbye!" I say, running off.

Here. Carla growls, picking me up onto her back.

"Oh! Thanks," I say.

You were running to slow. Carla jokes.

"Valka?" I say, cracking the door open.

"I'm upstairs! Come on in!" Valka says.

"Valka, can you come with us to the Great Hall?" I say.

"Sure. What's going on?" Valka says.

"It's Dagur, he's dying," I say.

"What! Is he here?" Valka says. I walk up the stairs, only to see Valka looking at Hiccup's drawings.

"Yeah. He's in the Great Hall," I say.

"Oh. Okay. Let them know I'll be a while," Valka says.

"Oh, uh, you can ride with me to the Great Hall if you want," I say, taking a peek at the drawings.

"Oh? Thank you. I'll be down soon. I'll help heal Dagur, even though he's not to friendly, or from what I heard from Hiccup, I'll come right away," Valka says, putting a piece of paper down.

"Let's go!" I say, getting on Carla's back.

"You want me to get on him?" Valka says.

"It's not just a dragon, it's Carla," I say.

"Carla?" Valka says.

"Let's go!" I say.

"Okay," Valka says, getting on Carla. "What's going on? What happened?" Valka says.

"It's Dagur. He was shot by Lukas in an attempt to kill him," Hiccup says.

"What!" Valka says.

Shawn! I hear that mysterious roar that never shows itself.

You hear that? Carla growls.

"You heard that roar too?" I say.

Yeah. Carla growls.

Sounds like somebody wants you, Shawn. Toothless growls.

"You heard it, too? Did you hear it, Siare?" I say.

Yeah. Siare growls.

"What are you four talking about?" Hiccup says.

"You didn't hear that roar?" I say.

"What roar?" Hiccup says.

You didn't hear it, Hiccup? Toothless growls.

"No," Hiccup says.

"Let's go check out where it came from," I say.

Yeah. We're going to go check out where that roar came from. Carla growls.

Okay. I'll see you later. Toothless growls.

Hang on! Carla growls, darting towards the docks.

"Woah!" I say, un-prepared for the lunge.

I said hang on. Carla growls.

"You said that as you took off!" I say.

Love you, though. Carla growls.

"I love you too," I laugh, gently kissing Carla's forehead. "It doesn't make sense! Why is it that every time I hear this roar, there's never any traces of any dragon!" I say, firing a silver plasma blast into the horizon, exploding a few hundred yards away.

You shouldn't do that unless you have to. Carla growls when I'm done coughing up smoke.

"Ugh. You're right," I say. It feels as if someone is watching me. I turn around only to see the boat I saw when Siare ate that eel. "Go ahead and head inland and help with Dagur. I'm going to check this boat out," I say.

Okay. Carla growls. Heading into some bushes nearby, I change, trying to keep the final pair of clothes I have. Walking up to the boat, I see it's almost empty. I hear a light thud behind me, then I see darkness. Waking up, I'm curled up in a patch of Dragon nip.

Ugh. What- where am I? I growl. I struggle to get up, but I'm pushed back down.

Stay down! I hear a light growl.

Who- who are you? I growl.

Doesn't matter. It's not safe. The dragon growls.

Not safe? Where are we? I growl, struggling against the dragon's paw, failing.

You're at Berk. The dragon growls.

I know that. I growl.

Follow me. The dragon growls, lifting his paw.

Why? I growl.

Just follow! The dragon, now identifiable as a Night Fury, growls, flying away.

Hey! Wait up! I roar, flying after him. Where are we going! I growl, catching up to him.

My new home area. I've been following you, Night Wing. I never really believed you were a half-breed like me. But I'm truly a half-breed. He growls.

What's your name? I growl.

I'm Kaz, but most know me as my dragon name, ShadowRider. Kaz growls. Getting a good look at the half-breed Fury, his scales are a very dark grey, whilst having a hint of red. But his wings caught my attention. His wings are bladed. He's, got blades strapped to his wings. Taking a closer look, there's a spot behind his left ear that's more red than the rest of his body.

Born of the Stars of Luck and the River of Misfortune. I growl.

What? Kaz growls.

Your mark behind your ear. I have it too. I growl.

Oh. We're almost there. Kaz growls as a giant structure of ice comes into view.

Where are we? I growl.

My home. Kaz growls.

You live here? I growl.

With other species of dragons, of course. I'm kind like the omega of this place. I don't count myself as the alpha, because I've meet the alpha before, and he deserves to be the alpha. Kaz growls. As we land in the ice structure, Kaz roars and I see that his body is emitting a reddish glow.

Afternoon, Kazzie. A female growls.

I told you not to call me that. Kaz growls.

Sorry, it's just that you looked tense. She growls.

Oh. Well, I appreciate the care, Jewel. Kaz growls. I turn to look at the female and notice she has a resemblance of a Night Fury, but her features are more sharp and her white scales almost shimmer like ice, making her white eyes almost let her blend in with snow.

I'm guessing you've never seen an Ice Rider breed before? Jewel growls.

Huh? Oh, no. I growl.

What's your name? Jewel growls.

It's Night Wing. I growl.

Sounds like a name a Night Fury should be expected to have. Jewel growls cheerily.

Jewel, you know that half-breed I've been watching over? Kaz growls.

This is him? Jewel growls.

Yes. Kaz growls.

Oh, I've never seen a blue Night Fury before. A Rumblehorn growls.

Bet you've never seen a purple one, either. I silently grumble to myself.

Wait, you've seen a purple Fury before? Kaz growls.

Uh, yeah? I growl.

Did she, by chance, have a light blue mark traveling down her back? Kaz growls.

Yeah? How do you know Siare? I growl.

I raised her as a cub. Tell me, how is she doing now? Kaz growls.

What! Oh, uh. Well, she's happy with her mate and had two wonderful kids. I growl. I'm sorry to leave so soon, but I have to get back. I growl.

Okay. Just come back soon, okay? Jewel growls.

Okay. Nice meeting you. I growl, flying away.
