~AN~
Just to clear things up. I added pictures of what Magnus (the stormcutter, Freya rides) and what suit Freya wears most of the times.
If you cannot see the pictures: a normal stormcutter, mostly black colour with dark red tips and some white on the front of his face. And Freya basically wears a suit in style of what the gang wears in httyd3.
Of course, she rides the same way as Valka but she does have some sort of a saddle so she can hooks her feet or hold on.
~~

We have been gliding trough soft clouds for a few hours now and still no sign of other dragons that accompanied me and Magnus to find and rescue other dragons caught by dragon hunters.

I nudged Magnus, signaling him to dive and readied my stance.
We slowly started to decend, I was expecting to come down to a clearing but to my surprise nothing changed, even after a minute of slowly diving down there was no clearing and just as I was about to change my stance so we could again start gliding when out of nowhere a ginormous stone pillar appeared in front of us.

Magnus managed to avoid it, but because he leaned so suddenly I wasn't prepared, neither did I hold on to the saddle so I started sliding down fast.
I managed to grab the side of the straps, holding on for dear life.

"Straighten up Magnus, straighten up!" I started climbing and managed to grab one of the main straps but my feet was still dangling down. I almost got up but another pillar appeared and he had to avoid it again, this time leaning to the other side.
I was catapulted upwards, right on his back luckily this round I had just enough time to secure my feet in the saddle and grab the straps.
"And back in the game." I mumbled breathless.
I suppose I did it it the last second too, because just as I readied my stance another pillar appeared. And we had to round it, this time a little slower.

"I think we should probably fly a little higher to avoid those big boys. What do you think eh?" I crouched and patted him on the back of his neck.
He purred in response and we started to increase.

We finally reached a smaller island that I previously marked as the meeting place.
"Well I'm guessing, we are the first one to arrive.
..
"Or not." As soon as we touched the ground, roars started erupting from every direction and I had just a moment to duck when a flying bison came at us, carried by a yellow deadly nadder.

"What is going on here?" I whisper shouted, lowering myself so I layed flat against Magnus.

I almost broke my neck, looking in the direction where a weird dragon sounds, that I've never heard any dragon produce, came from.

I could almost imagine what my face looked when I laied my eyes on the creature that produced those sounds. There was a Nightfurry gliding among the other dragons and to top it off, there were two other Vikings holding on to the said dragon.

"Is that...a Nightfurry?" My mouth hanged open while I stared in bewildered at the rarest dragon and even rarer scene of a viking riding the beast.

I watched them in silence as they disappeared further in the mountain. "C'mon Magnus, let's see what they're up too."
He purred in response and gently pushed himself off the ground. We quickly trailed them, flying close enough to see them clearly but not close enough to hear what they're saying.

They made their way to a pillar and hide behind it. Still watching them, we flew a little bit higher, joining a pack of monstrous nightmares. I was so focused on the dragon riders I didn't even realise two of the nightmares were actually one of our dragon accompanies tried grinding their snouts on me.
"Huh, oh hey big boys, where were you? Where's everyone else?" I patted them affectionately and looked around for other dragons. I only found one deadly nadder and two zippelback's before my eyes landed on one of our gronckles, who has just puked-kinda way a small fish, directly in the fire burning pit. I trailed the falling fish as it disappeared into nothing before I heard a deep growle that shocked the whole mountain.

The hair on arms stood up as I watched a giant species of queen bee dragons higher itself up and swallowing the dragon whole. All the air left my lungs as I watched true terror in that Gronckle's eyes in his last moment.

"Fuck, let's get out of here as quickly as possible." I completely forgot about the Nightfurry and it's raiders as I whistled the signal to other dragons, telling them to flee. And of course as soon as we took off all the remaining dragons did too and because of that a living vortex was made. While Magnus was doing everything in his power to save us from being eaten alive I turned around to look back down, my veins pumping adrenaline trough my whole body, as I looked at the scene behind me.

Dragons being eaten left and right and letting out distress calls. I could only close my eyes and vowe to myself that I would end this kind of weird monarchy.

I whistle called for the remaining dragons and we made our way for the closest not inhabited island.

We stayed there for a couple of days, just laying low.
I was just about to start eating another fish when we heard men shouting.

"What is going on?" I threw the rest of the fish to a zippelback and made my way to the edge of the rocky island, Magnus right behind me as I go.

"Can you see anything?" I whispered to him as he lowered himself to my height.

He answered with a short purr, meaning no.
"Let's go and see what this is all about." I went to grab my helmet and made my way to him, climbing on and securing my feet.
The dragons behind us made questioning sounds, not knowing what's going on so I just made hushing sound and signaled them to come along.

We glided trough the fog, following the voices. There were all sorts of shouting and something almost like moaning?

"Is that..." the dragon moaned again but this time louder and clearer. "The Nightfurry!"

"C'mon Magnus, get us a little closer." He slowly started decending until we were flying just above the main mast.

I couldn't heard most of the conversation but I did overhear something that vaguely sounded like "we go straight for the mountain."

That is the stupidest idea I've ever heard. What were they thinking? Were they just planning on storming on the coast and start a battle with 100 ton dragon?

As we neared the shore, me and the dragons started to increase but made sure we stayed in the fog while the ships docked and vikings started preparation for the battle that was destined to be an abomination.

...

We were sitting on the pillars just on the side of the fog, watching and waiting to see how it will go down.
I was mentally preparing myself to go help them or at least try and distract the beast for enough time for them to escape even though I highly doubted they would run from a battle.

I watched as the vikings made a hole in the mountain, fire in a giant fireball and then proceed to roar and wake up the sleeping dragons and as they made a run for the freedom they tried fighting them, thinking that is all that is to be.

I rolled my eyes at the vikings stupidness as they started celebrating victory before the real battle even began.

Something is happening, I could see the water vibrating as the queen bee made it's way out of it's nest. All the colour washed off my face when I saw the beasts actual size. And let me just say it's even bigger that I've ever imagined.

"Oh no." I was questioning my sane while fastening all my straps and making sure I was ready for anything to happen.

Before I've even put on my helmet, the queen bee already started trashing around and destroying their ships. Half of the vikings were already gone by the time we were airborne.
Only two crazy men reminded, trying to get the dragon's attention.

"Ohh Thor help me." We were just about to push off the cliff when I heard existed shrieks and a second later four dragon zoomed past us. My jaw hit the floor when I looked at a gronckle, monstrous nightmare and a zippelback and a deadly nadder, all of them bearing their riders and the later two, both had a pair of them.

"Well that is a very unusual rescue team. What do you think Magnus, should we go help them huh?" He let out a half nervous half existed purr and took off.
