How to Train Your Dragon: Change

Met the Night Warriors

The next day came with a strong headache for some villagers. Most had gone to bed, but a few found themselves waking up in the Great Hall. Hiccup stepped out of his house, a little upset about oversleeping. "Morning," Hiccup spotted Luna walking down the Hall stairs.

"Oh hey," she yawned.

"Hey, I didn't see Tracker at all last night," Hiccup met her on the stairs.

Luna stretched her arms up around her head and yawned again, "Hm? Oh yeah. I sent her back to my base to check on the others."

"Others? What do you mean by base?"

"A few years ago I set up a dragon base on an island somewhat far from here," Luna explained, "It's where I've lived for past ten years. I've befriended tons of dragons along the way."

"What kind of dragons?" Hiccup asked.

"Well, if you asked a Dragon Hunter he'd probably say that there is no dragon that I couldn't bond with," Luna explained, "Not that I'm gloating."

"Right," Hiccup teased.

'Luna!'

They both looked up to see Tracker flying in. "Wow, it must not be to far away," Hiccup thought, "She went there and back in one night."

"Tracker is extremely fast for a Nadder," Luna explained, "She could fly home and back in a day and night."

"Impressive."

Tracker landed and greeted her Rider. 'Nobody has killed each other,' Tracker joked, 'But Rose was there.'

"Who's Rose?" Hiccup asked.

"My Terrible Terror Messenger," Luna patted Tracker, "I sent her off to go see how everyone was back home a few days before I ran into you."

'She says that your father is wanting to know if your returning home for your brother's birthday,' Tracker explained.

Luna banged her head against Tracker snout, "Ugh! I can't believe I forgot about that!"

"You have a younger brother?"

Luna sighed, "Yeah. His name is Erland. He's younger."

"Well, if it's birthday then maybe you should fly back home to him," Hiccup suggested.

"Yeah, I should," Luna scratched her head, "But I don't know what to get him." She thought and thought. And then it hit her. "You wanna come with me?" she asked Hiccup.

"Huh? Me?" Hiccup questioned, "But I was going to go to Storehouse Island."

"We'll stop there on the way back!" Luna promised, "And...how about you bring the Night Furies?"

"Oh I see," Hiccup caught on, "Alright. Fine. Let me go find Toothless."

"Yes! Thank you Hiccup!" Luna cheered.

O

A few hours later Hiccup, Luna, and the Night Furies were flying in the open sea. "Man, my mom was right," Hiccup agreed, "You guys really are not in the Archipelago. What culture are you?"

"Well," Luna looked back at Hiccup, "My people came a mainland an thousand years ago. I believe that it was called Sweden. I don't know where that is or how far away it is, but after coming here we adopted some of your Viking culture and mixed it with our own."

"Wow," Hiccup wondered what such a place was like.

'Why do we have to come again?' Silver asked.
