Raids meant a lot to me. The rush, the adrenaline. The end of Vikings and their start of their lives as dragons. It's been over a decade since I lost my sister in a raid. She had been hit with an axe just above the windpipe.
I was leading the charge tonight. I slow to let Toothless catch up to me. "Look." I say, glancing over at him. "I know it's going to be hard now that he's gone. It'll get easier, I promise. I once went through the same thing."
Toothless looked over at me, his eyes glazed over with grief. "Really?"
"Yeah. It was a long time ago. I lost my sister in a raid. So, yeah, I guess it's not the exact same circumstances but both lost to Vikings."
He doesn't reply but remains flying next to me. Eventually he speaks.
"Cloudjumper?"
"Yes?"
"Is there any way to bring him back? To make him dragon again?"
I thought he knew that it was an endless cycle of change until old age but I guess not. Or maybe his mind was too clouded with grief.
"Death." I reply.
"He has to die to become dragon again...?" Toothless asks, sadly.
"Unfortunately, yes."
Toothless looks away and falls back with the rest of the dragons without replying. I knew it hurt him. It hurt me too. I would do almost anything to get my sister back too but I also could not bear to see her killed again.
"I'm sorry, Valka..."
Soon the island of Berk was in sight.
