It wasn't long until Hiccup called upon the rest of the dragon riders to show them his and Freya's discovery.
"Okay, bud, go ahead," He instructed. Toothless opened his mouth wide and gave a low flame, the same images as before displaying themselves on the wall.
The group of teenagers each gave their voice of praise towards the device.
"Fishlegs, can you make any of it out?" Hiccup turned towards the blonde.
"There are parts of maps and symbols, nothing I've seen before. And there's writing, but it's in a language I've never read before,"
"Well that's helpful," Freya mumbled.
"What's that thing?" Snotlout pointed to an image in the shape of a fist.
"Must be some kind of tribal crest or something," Hiccup responded.
"Ooh, I like that way better than our tribal crest," Tuffnut stated.
"Tuff, we don't have a tribal crest,"
"Well, we should," Ruffnut chimed in.
"Yeah, and it should be that,"
"Hiccup, this map, you realize it..." Fishlegs started.
"Goes beyond the boundaries of the archipelago. Oh, I know,"
The group members eyed one another at the new discovery.
"So, what's our next move?" Astrid asked.

It wasn't long after Hiccup had shown the group his discovery that he dragged the council out of bed to show them as well. Once they agreed to it, Hiccup had busted into Freya's room explaining everything to her.
The redhead now found herself packing all of her belongings for a journey she wasn't even sure she wanted to be a part of. Whatever this Dragon Eye was, it could be leading them on a wild goose chase for all she knew.
"Okay, I think I'm ready," Freya stepped out into the kitchen with her bag clutched in her hand.
Ulrik gave his daughter a smirk, "Are you sure? You don't sound ready,"
The redhead completely deflated, dropping her bag to the ground, "Do you think I'm doing the right thing?"
"I think the only person that can answer that is you,"
"I want to support Hiccup—I really do. And I've missed the adventures...but what if we never figure out what this device is. What it's supposed to be leading us to,"
"I think that's just a risk that you have to be willing to take," He said.
Freya gave a small smile, "Thanks dad,"
"Besides, I don't think Hiccup would do this without you anyway,"
"He'd be fine without me, nothing in the world could stop him from doing this. He would never admit it, but I know he's been struggling these past few months...trying to find another purpose for himself, and now that he finally has—"
