“Do you mind telling something about yourself?”
Atali hoped to keep up the casual relaxed conversation. Thorolf looked to her.
“I don’t mind, it is fair as I am still crashing here on your island.”
He smiled making Atali chuckle.
He turned to look ahead.
“I came here from small tribe from Finnic, on hopes to help my family.”
Thorolf started, walking slowly so she can keep up with him.
“Our tribe weren’t rich and many mens joined to lines with brother from north on hoped to get riches, land to plant and many other reasons.”
“And you followed that dream too?”
Thorolf nodded. “Yes I did.”
His answer were heavy and thoughtful. “I heard job offers come from here, with promising it all; great opportunity, lots off riches and power.”
Atali carefully listened to him. “I guess it didn’t go that way?”
“Yeah it didn’t training was hard, and first pay was.. Well pitiful, we got baid of what we did nor how well we did the job.”
He started exploring with slight snort. “Your only change to get what was promised were, ‘be best and be strong.’”
“But.. Weren't you guys hurting and hunting dragons?”
She slammed the question to her face. Thorolf knew the question to come, yet still was taken but it. He looked to her with surprised look in his blue eyes.

“No.”  He shortly answered, Atali got puzzled.
“What you mean with no?”
She asked again, Thorolf stopped on his steps. “Before I got promoted into a flyer, I where in training at hunters team, and our job where to capture dragons for sale if the dragon looked injured or hurt, that wouldn’t sell at all. Best treated dragons sold the best. If you plan to sell a dragon, you don’t hurt a dragon.”
Atali looked to his face, not knowing what to think, all what was told to her about hunters were wrong. “When I got promoted and got Mama. My singetail, she had one of her hatchlings left, and they were in pretty bad shape with large open cut between their wings.”
Atalis expression fastly changed to look sorry, “You know what happened to the poor baby?”
She asked, Thorolf shaked his head. “Sadly no, I do believe it to be another dragon.” from worry to pity. “Oh dear..” She softly muthered. “The baby didn’t live long, only what I was able to give was a clam non painful leave from here to better place.” He continued. “After that, she started babying me.”
Atali smiled. “I haven’t never thought to see something like this in my life.”
She started, looking down to her feet. “Hunters always has been kept as well… Evil. But.. You guys just are trying to support your lifes or families by doing what is offered.” 
“All gold coins has two sides, the world is not just black and white.”  Thorlof smiled to her, not judging her from what she thought of first, making Atali noticeable relax in his eyes.
“For a shuch big man, you are remarkable soft.” Thorolf slightly blushed and looked away. “Let's just.. find my dragon.” He mumbled away walking bit faster, Atali chuckled following after him.

“So you knew hole day that the dragon was here?!” Minden loudly scolds one of care takers.
“I meant to, I’m really sorry but.. She was taking good care of the newly hatched that.. I just couldn’t I’m so sorry Minden.” The young blond haired girl shuttered, looking up to the angry looking woman, who let out defeated sight. “We could have kept the man longer in watch if we had heard of that fact.” She turned to look at the singetail who were laying on ground helping just hatched Whips to get on their feets, hatchling trusted that singetail that soon every one of them had curled up under the double wing to sleep. “I will go find Atali..” Minden mumbled as she stormed off.

~~~
“This shouldn't be so hard to find you on this island.”
Minden partly yelled to Atali's back, both Atali and Thorlof turned in sync to see where the sound came from.
"I'm sorry Minden." Atali smiled, turning to her friend. "I guess we lost our track of time."
Minden turned her gaze towards the man standing silently behind her, "We have found the singetail." She didn't break her eye contact hole time she spoke. "It's at the hatchery."
"It has a name."
Thorolf mimicked the mocking tone she used and walked past her. Minden snarled reaching to her spear, Atali placed hand on her shoulder. Minden turned to her with genuine surprise. "Let him go."
She murmured lowering down her hand as felt the warrior to relax.
"You, trust him?"
Atali slowly nodded to her question as watched the back disappear from her sight. "He is different.."
"What makes him different?" Atali gently  her shoulders shaking her head.
"I don't know." Atali turned to her friend.
"I just, feel it."
~~~
"Hey Mama."
Singetail turned her head towards familiar voice, she purred happily.
Thorolf sat next to her, letting small and confused razor whips come to him making sure he is not a threat.
Mama  gently wrapped herself around the man, softly placing head on his lap, he gently scratched behind her horns. Making her vibrate and deeply relax, Thorolf leaned to her watching back to the calmly moving clouds drifting into sleep again, this time in much safer place.

Minden looked down from the upper lever wharf, she didn't trust on him and fastly wanted him out, but also where between, he is a flyer, a danger if he spokes about them.
"Minden?" Voice next to her snapped the dark girl out from her mind. 
"Ah yeah, what is it?" Minden turned to face the younger maiden next to her. "Are you.. Alright?" 
She asked. "You seem agitated in away." 
Minden smiled little, turning back to Thorolof. "I'm not sure." 
"You know what we gonna do to him?"
Minden shook her head. "Nope, I don't really like idea of him being able to move freely here." 
Young maiden sifted height from her foot to another. "Should we ask what Hiccup and his friends thinks?" 
Mindens eyes lighted up. "Manda you are genius! " She smiled as gave quick hug to her. Before rushed to send terror mail to Hiccup and his gang.
