Merida & Teal

Once upon a time, in the kingdom of DunBroch, there lived a young and adventurous princess. Her bravery shone bright until one fateful day when she encountered a severely injured dragon, a creature she had never seen before. After nursing it back to health, she forged a deep friendship with the dragon, discovering through her readings that it was a Night Fury. She decided to train it, even learning to ride, and named it Teal due to its striking eyes-later realizing he was a male. Everything changed when the notorious dragon hunter Viggo Grimborn threatened the kingdom, intent on wiping out dragons and seizing the islands for himself. Forced to flee for their safety, the princess's mother sent Merida and her brothers away, but they were too late; the hunters attacked, destroying their home and devastating their family. With a heavy heart, Merida escaped the island with Teal, guided by a Wisp to a new land that offered shelter and training for both herself and her dragon. There, they met new allies-both people and dragons-who aided them in gathering supplies and building a new home, welcoming them to their camp whenever they needed assistance. A year later, they prepared for the impending battle against Viggo and the dragon hunters, joining forces with other dragon riders who shared their cause. Although concerned for their safety, they insisted on helping her. When they took her to the edge of the island, she shared her painful story of loss due to Viggo's cruelty, prompting her new allies to train alongside her and Teal. Despite her insistence that she could manage on her own, they sympathized with her solitude. Then, the day arrived when Viggo sought her out, trying to persuade her to join the hunters' ranks.
