P.O.V Lily
Lily sits at the bar, hand around the beer as she takes a sip, eye darting back and forth between all the Vikings around her. Lily's eye dart to the corner, watching as Scarlett hides in the shadows, camouflaging whenever someone looks at her. Lily turns back to the bartender before a Viking sits next to her.
"Hey, beautiful. Can I get you a drink?" He asks her as Lily turns her eye towards the man as he smiles, almost making her gag at his horrible breath. "You can tell me all about how you got that amazing battle scar." He whispers.
Lily looks at him, before turning back to the bar, clenching her right fist. "Not interested." She states as he looks at her.
"What do you mean?" He asks, almost perplexed as she looks at him.
"I've been through this before. You buy me a drink, get me drunk, take me to bed and have your way with me and leave me alone forever, no matter if I get pregnant or not."
"Why you little-" He growls, clenching his fist as he stands. "How dare you speak to me like that!"
"Don't care." She says, before standing and walking towards the door, before he grabs her arm, causing her to stop.
"I'll get you for that. No one talks to Morgrim the Strong like that!"
Lily raises an eyebrow, smirking. "More like Morgrim the Clueless. Now please, unhand me." She says as he pulls her towards him, smiling at her.
"Now, let's have a little fun, shall we?" He mutters as Lily notices some other Vikings gathering as she smirks.
"You have just made the biggest mistake of your life. Now Scarlett!"
Scarlett uncamouflaged and growls at the Viking, who steps back in shock, holding onto Lily's arm. Lily rolls her eye and uses the man's weight against him, flipping to wrap her legs around his neck and pulling him towards the ground, causing him to collapse and she runs towards Scarlett, pulling her cloak over her shoulders. She climbs onto Scarlett whom immediately makes them disappear using Scarlett's scales on Lily's cloak.

This is Delta. Who we are is etched into every story, every wall and every scale of the dragons. Myth and Legends are just as important to us as every dragon we rescue, heal and train. We ain't Vikings. We lost the right to call ourselves Vikings when that idiot Asger cast us out off Inut. But that day is what made us.
Delta is home to not only the Delta Defenders but the Alpha Dramillion, Scarlett and her Flock and the Sentinels. Our leader is Cindy and we all respect her.
We believe first and foremost in what we see and touch. But on the off chance, we also take into account stories from travellers just in case we need it.

Lily walks through the town square of an unknown village, hoping to get more information about why she's so far from Delta. She didn't tell Cindy she was leaving, nor anyone else, however, they didn't need her. She was just the healer and even then she isn't needed. Storm is an amazing healer and can keep an eye on Delta while she's gone.
Lily notices a man, calling out his wares as she walks over to him, placing a piece of gold from her family's storage onto his counter as he looks at it. "I need information." She says, eye turning towards where another is watching them, making sure she keeps her back towards them. The man looks at her, before speaking. "What information?" He says as Lily looks at him.
"I need to know about the Dragon Master." She says as the man narrows his eyes, his amber eyes glinting and his hand going through his dark brown hair. "Why do you need such information?" He asks her, eyeing her dragon scale cloak as she speaks.
"I need to know if he is real." She says before the man nods and turns, calling to another unknown man, the two-limbed man walking towards them, his limping reminding her of Cindy.
"Whit dae ye want tae know, lassie?" He asks her as she speaks.
"I have heard rumours of a 'Dragon Master'. I wanted to know where I can find him." She says as the man narrows his eyes.
"Why shoud we trust ye?" The man asks as Lily looks at him.
"You shouldn't. I just want to know where we-I can find him. I need to know where he stands."
The man narrows his eyes, before speaking.
"Rumour says he lives near the isle o berk. Find him thare."
Lily nods, placing another piece of gold onto the counter and thanking the two men for their time and walks away, into the forest where she calls for Scarlett, who comes out of the forest.
"We found a lead." She says, taking out a map she had bought from a trader. "Berk is a half day ride from here. We should visit there first and check to see if anyone else knows about this 'Dragon Master'."
"Are you sure he's even real?" Scarlett says as Lily nods.
"With what I've heard, yes he is." She says before a familiar dragon flies towards them, his sharp wings and larger body different than a year ago.
"Message for mummy!" The dragon says as Lily smiles and holds out her arm, allowing the dragon to land and wrap around her arm.
"What is it, Ruddy?" She asks the Timberjack as he looks up at her.
"Cindy told me to tell you to get your ass back to Delta island... with more swearing." He says as Lily flinches.
"Ignore it." She says as Ruddy stares at her.
"But Cindy will murder you!"
"No, she won't." She says, before opening Scarlett's saddlebag and touching the sleeping baby dragon's head as she nods to Ruddy. "Come on, let's go find this Dragon Master."
