"By Helzvog's Beard! Its a Dragon Rider!"

"Why aren't they scared?"

Indeed, the battle below had stopped and both sides of the the conflict were staring up at him in amazement. Without any warning Toothless flew straight up and merged into the clouds.

"Wha-What are you doing! We need to stay down there! They weren't scared!"

"Ill explain everything later for now just listen to me."

Hiccup felt like he needed to argue, but something in Toothless's voice (was it a voice? Or something else?) made Hiccup reconsider his decsion and keep his mouth shut. 

They flew in silence, the uncharateristic urgency emanating from Toothless cowing Hiccup from making the start of any conversation, and least of all asking any of the questions he had. He looked around at the ground and saw an incoming shore, it was huge, an inconceivable amount of times bigger than Berk's own shore. Hiccup had heard stories about islands so big you couldn't get to the ocean without traveling for days. The thought of such huge landforms was both humbling and scary to Hiccup.

"So Toothless." Toothless looked back over to Hiccup as if warning him to tread carefully with his next words. Hiccup changed his question and instead asked:

"Do you know where your going?"

"I've decided to take a leaf out of your book, and I'm just flying in a random direction."

Hiccup was about to reply until the pair crossed the rocky shores. The ocean seemed to end abruptly, faced down by stone behomoths. Hiccup and Toothless circled the cliffs protruding out of the sky.

"Wow."

Hiccup couldn't stop looking around. They continued past the shores, and started to see some settlements located on the outskirts of the mainland. The designs of the homes, just like the ships, were unique and never before seen by Hiccup. His analytical mind unconciously started to document their construction. 

They continued till they got to the main city.

"No way. No way am I seeing this right now, no way."

An incredible city rose out of the green landscape surrounding it. It had huge walls, seemingly being made completely with stone. There were guard towers located on the tops of the walls, and the entryway was bigger than Hiccup's house back at Berk. There were guards patrolling every part of the battlements carrying spears and all bearing a red insignia with a sword pointed to their hearts.  Hiccup silently urged Toothless to fly higher and finally, the city came into sight.

Hiccup sucked in his breath, not trusting himself to speak. There were hundreds-no-thousands, of houses, buildings, and people. So many people. They were bustling around buying from small shacks on the street sides, traveling up and down the cobbled streets in a endless loop. From Hiccup's height, the people looked as small as ants, the houses like playthings, and the walls like blocks, but still the whole scene inspired an epic sense of awe in him.

"Tethoris!"

"What did you say Toothless?"
