- Nat POV -
I felt my throat choking and I coughed out some water, "Oh thank Thor." I saw Hiccup brushing my cheek, I wince slightly, "Oh I thought I lost you." He lets me down onto my feet and holds me tight kissing me, "What happened?" I look around, I was in complete awe, I heard growling and I felt Storm nuzzle into me licking my hands, "Oh you're safe. You scared me." I pet his head and he nuzzles into my hip, Toothless growls above us, I saw a woman and that dragon from before, I gasped and backed into Hiccup, "This is where you've been. For twenty years?" He says, the woman nods, "Y-You've been rescuing them." Hiccup says, she nods again, dragons from all over were nuzzling into Storm and Toothless, they back away nervous, "Unbelievable. It's amazing." I commend her, "You're not upset?" She looks at Hiccup, "What? Well, I mean it's a lot to get my head around to be frank, it's not every day you find out your mother is some kind of feral vigilante dragon lady or whatever." He shrugs, "That's your mum?!" I whisper yell, he nods, still in shock, "At least I'm not boring, right?" She hooks her staff around her dragon's claws and slides down his wing, "Well I do suppose there's that. One specific thing..." He nods, she walks over and looks at me, "And you are?" She smiles, "I-I uh... nice to meet you. I'm Natalie Zhao." I bow my head, "Oh wait, I forgot." I tap my nails on my thumbs together, puffing my cheeks out embarrassed, "My name's Valka. You're not from Berk are you?" She asks softly, "Uh. No. I'm actually from Longsan, I travelled to Berk when my family and village was killed by a mysterious man, it pains me that I still don't know who that man is." I furrow my brows, she looks at the mark on my arm and gasps, dragons from all over look at her reaction and look at my arm, she bows on her knee and holds her hand out to her heart, all the dragons bow their heads slightly, "W-What's happening?" Hiccup looks at me, "Look. She's the heir to the furies. That's the mark of the fury, it stems from ancient lines, every dragon species has its leading clan, sure every dragon has their alpha but these are their people." She looks up at me, "Oh no. Please, no need for any of this." I help her back up and gently shoo the dragons back, "Y-You're just telling me this? Who knew the two women in my life were so secretive." Hiccup looks at us, Valka and I look at each other and laugh, "There's a lot more where that comes from Handsome." I grin, he shakes his head and pulls my waist into him, we heard Storm and Toothless roar when dragons crowded around them, she looks at them, "M-May I?" She points at them, we nod, "Oh they're beautiful." She strokes her hand over their heads, the two of them rumbled in their throats, she laughs and the two of them nuzzle into her, "They might be the very last of their kind." She says, they roll around on the floor, "I always said that Hiccup and Toothless get along so well cause they're the same age." I smile and tap on the three flaps under Toothless's chin, "Gorgeous, why are you telling me all these facts only now? We've known each other for four coming five years now." Hiccup looks down at me, "A girl's got to keep her secrets doesn't she." I giggle and hide my smile, "They're amazing." She nods her head with them and they retract their teeth, "Retractable teeth?!" She was shocked, "I found him in the woods. He was shot down and wounded." Hiccup holds his head and nods, "This Snafflefang lost his leg to one of Drago Bludvist's iron traps. This Raincutter had its wing sliced by razor netting, and this poor Hobblegrunt was blinded by a tree snare and then left to die alone and scared." She holds its head as it changed colour, "And this? Did Drago and his trappers to this too?" She lifts Toothless's tailfin, Hiccup laughs nervously, "Well, crazy thing is. I'm the one who shot him down," Toothless trots on the spot growling happily, "Hey, hey it's okay though. CAuse you got me back, right bud? You couldn't save all of me, you just had to make it even. So, peg leg!" Hiccup leans on me and raises his leg, "What did your father think of your Nightfury friend?" She asks, "He didn't take it all too well but then he changed, everyone changed, pretty much everyone back home has dragons of their own." He looks at his mum, "If only it were possible." She says sarcastically, "No, really. He's telling the truth." I stroke Storm's head and he growls in pleasure, "Believe me, I tried as well but people aren't capable of change. Some of us were just born different." She looks off to the open ice.
