I give you a blast from the past:
Sinkhole had his claws in the ice, his Nightfury wings were raised defensively. BoulderDeath hovered menacingly in front of him, her red eyes glittered with hate and betrayal.
A swell of guilt washed into Sinkhole's chest. He shook his head and tried to focus on protecting his new family. The taunting side of him kept singing in his ear, telling him that this was all his fault. It was actually all his fault.
If he had only stayed with BoulderDeath and not left, his love would have been saved. He wouldn't have to fly away, hearing her desperate roars as she went mad. He wouldn't have met this other Nightfury who had recaptured his heart so quickly.
Sinkhole could not turn back now. BoulderDeath had grown bigger and more ferocious. He didn't stand a chance. His new mate Midnight didn't either. Or his beautiful egg, tucked away in the hay nest on the glacier-top right behind him.
He tried to see the sorrow buried deep and fast in BoulderDeath's eyes, but could only see pure rage. He still couldn't turn back.

Summer flew close to the water, eyes darting around for Parrot. So far there hadn't been any luck finding him. Leyla kept reassuring her but it was getting late, and the stars were starting to show in the sky.
"Maybe we should turn back." Summer said, glancing at her rider.
Leyla sighed, "I guess, we won't give up entirely though. We'll go again tomorrow, we have to make sure Parrot is safe."
Summer swung around and flew directly towards Huttsgalor. It was silent the whole flight back, neither of them spoke a word. The calm sea seemed to add to the quietness. Summer eventually reached home, where the ocean lapped at the shores of Huttsgalor in a peaceful fashion.
Summer's eye lit up once she saw a familiar green and blue dragon jumping around at the Roost, alone.
"Parrot!" She exclaimed, surprised and darted down. Leyla instantly slid off her back as she landed.
Parrot turned around, squawking, as they rushed to him.
"Where were you?" Leyla said, running her hand along his scales.
"No where. Just, flying... Maybe trying to find a way back home..." Parrot muttered, looking down, "But I ran into... I ran into..."
"You ran into who?" Summer walked up closer to him.
"It's not BoulderDeath or her followers but..." He shuffled his claws, "I think we have another problem on our claws..."

I give you another blast from... the present...?
Deep in the trees on a lone island far out from Huttsgalor, a song was humming. Hundreds of dragons gathered ont he ground and upon the mountains, through the beaches and lining the sea stacks.
The chant went up into the night, a melody that no one dare stop.
"Make red your claws with coward's blood, obliterate the weakling filth, torch those dragons like wood, the rebellion is coming, the new king is coming, the Red Rage is coming!"
Dragons of all shapes and sizes sung, their combined voices carrying up into the night air. They were all united in this Red Rage, and they were proud of it. The roars would eventually come close enough for Huttsgalor to hear.
And even closer for their target to hear as well.
At the highest point of the island a Nightfury-shaped dragon sat beside a Skrill. The two watched their supporters howl up into the sky. The Nightfury, a Nightlight to be specific, looked upon the dragons through narrowed green eyes.
The skrill, a female, looked a bit uncertain, but she would support her mate till the end. She whispered something to a scarred pink-eyed Lightfury juts below her. The Lightfury nodded and flew down to a Death Song, Flightmare, Deadly Nadder, and a Changewing.
The skrill hoped she could to something that didn't involve violence, that would allow her mate to take back his throne easier and without bloodshed. But really the only thing she could do was hope, even with all this power at her claws.

"A rebellion against the Hidden World?" Dak said, frowning and leaning against Winger.
Burple waddled over, "I thought the Hidden World was an actual myth."
"Oh no, no it's not. It's real and these dragons are trying to overthrow the king." Parrot shook his head. He had settled back down and was now comfortably sitting in his nest.
"You've been there?" Cutter bounded forward.
Parrot shook his head again, "No but I've heard stories of unrest in the Kingdom. And now there's this Red Rage going on."
"First BoulderDeath, and now this?" Aggro laid down on the floor.
Summer sat down next to Parrot, "Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get through. I'm sure..."
Fun Fact! The rebellion song is based off of the one from the httyd book series. Also I got the Red Rage name from the books as well.
The Original: Make red your claws with human blood... obliterate the human filth... torch the humans like a wood... the rebellion is coming...
