Toothless was happy to walk side by side with his new friend.

As he was flicked by Altair's tail, Hiccup turned to face the dragon as they walked, a lopsided grin on his face. "Hey! Good to see you too!"

"Just because you've dealt with worse," Astrid stated, "doesn't mean you should just subject yourself to it."

"It's certainly one thing to push yourself past your limits, in certain circumstances or to strengthen yourself, but it's another entirely to...to go in knowing that it will cause you pain like that."

Hearing her laughter, the couple laughed lightly along with her.

Joy was contagious after all.

"An eye for--" Hiccup burst into peaks of laughter, while Astrid just shook her head, smiling. "That's a good one, Lyra!"

Astrid tilted her head. "For that, I'll send Hiccup to get some soap. We'll have to get the color out first, either way."

Since they were almost to the stream, Hiccup figured he should grab it now. Unfastening the bucket from Toothless' saddle, he handed it to Astrid before mounting up and flying off.

"Okay. One more rinse should do it..."

There was a slanted rock large enough to lay back on, and Astrid had Lyra's hair hang off the edge, making it the perfect place to work.

As Astrid filled the bucket once more, Hiccup returned with the soap. "As you requested, Milady!" Dismounting, he handed it to Astrid, smiling.

Glancing at Lyra, Hiccup gave a nod of approval. "Your hair is almost back to normal!"

Now with the soap in her hands, Astrid turned towards the fae. "Do you want to wash it out yourself? I don't think you'll have to get up, I can still rinse your hair pretty easily..."

Living on Berk was a dream. Lyra was learning fast from Gothi to be a healer and Altair was finally warming up to being around other dragons again! The two often flying in the evenings together. And Lyra exploring the forests for plants and herbs. She felt alive. Free.

It was only three months later when the dream would shatter. Lyra was working on a garden she’d placed by her hut. Her home! She smiled bright. Altair resting near by when she suddenly raised her head. Scenting the air before hissing. Her eyes sharp and teeth bared. The dragon all but pushing Lyra into the hut.

“Altair? What’s gotten into you? Wh-“ she covered her mouth to stop the panic that bubbled up. Thanking the stars the hut was big enough for both her and Altair to hide inside before they were seen.

Two large men, though smaller than most of those on Berk, approached the village. Dragon hide armor with metal spikes adorned them. One with a sword on his hip and the other with an axe. And hanging from both, iron shackles.

“We request a meeting with the chief of this place.” One of them called out.

This is the best idea in the history of film.

I was going to embroider a rose or something in the corner of this handkerchief, but then I realized I could do a wizard, so obviously I did a wizard.

Jade grew attached to the students that she had in her classroom. It was hard not to when they would tell her everything about it their lives, where they went on vacation and even teaching them much needed skills for Kindergarten and life ahead. “They do. This is just the first step in their long journey of education and schooling. It’s exciting yet nerve racking. Knowing that I’m in charge of their education and the first step before moving on. If they don’t learn anything it comes back on me being a bad teacher.”she said. Jade smiled at Connor. “That’s a long time. But I can see firefighting being a rewarding career too.” @connorxbowen

Jade couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh when she heard his. She nodded her head in agreement. “I love it. It’s challenging at times when behaviors arise and have to put my foot down but other than that I love teaching. I love watching as they come in might not knowing anything to graduating and knowing more than they did before.”she said with a smile. Teaching was her passion and what she loved to do. “That’s amazing. So you make sure all your new comers or trainees are trained properly? I bet it’s challenging too at times? How long have you been a firefighter? Long time doesn’t count.”she joked. @connorxbowen

Ferrari where are you?

[dragonmasterhiccup]

Valka smiled warmly at the girl, seeing that she was already becoming a little more comfortable in her proximity.

She and Hiccup both watched as Stranger got up, exchanging a look before they both followed her.

What's she doing? Hiccup wondered.

Toothless tilted his head curiously, but grunted in understanding. He would stay still, for her.

Mother and son watched as she drew in the sand, reminding Hiccup of a similar event from when he and Toothless first met.

"She's...she's drawing!"

Toothless was patient, happily posing for her, and allowing her to touch him when she needed to.

When she finished, he stood on his back legs, rumbling in approval. Taking his own stick, he started making his own drawing.

Hiccup stepped closer, getting a better look at the woman's drawing.

A wide smile on his face, he turned to her. "I think we just found our way to communicate!"

Toothless was still working on his own masterpiece, though it resembled absolutely no one or anything.

The dragon set the stick down, sitting on his back legs, proud of his work...

Which was really just a lot of scribbly, wobbly lines.

At the offer of the stick, Toothless accepted, gingerly picking it up in his mouth.

He plopped down next to Seabreak, trying to convey that he was grateful.

Hiccup waited, turned away, only looking forward again once he felt the dragon's nose press into his palm. Stepping closer, he began to stroke the dragon's head. "I know it can be hard, but maybe we can help your sister, and the three of you." Glancing over at the woman, he looked back at the dragon in front of him. "I just wish we could...communicate better...but, we'll find a way..."

Valka gave the girl a soft smile as she pulled away.

Her eyes widened slightly as the girl spoke another Norse word. "Oh...no, it's-it's perfectly alright, lass..." She turned to Sunchaser, holding her hand out to him, using a method she learned under the Bewilderbeast to offer him some comfort as well. "It looks like you four are quite close, yes?"

Hiccup made his way back over to them. "Is she alright?"

"Yes, she seems better. She might now a few more words than we think, actually, which is great news."

"Yeah?" Hand to his chin, he got an idea. "What if we taught her our language? Then, then we can see what her story really is, what she and these dragons are looking for?"

seeing everyone just mindlessly sign up for threads despite all the clear warning signs feels like I’m living in Sailor Moon or a magical girl anime episode where the Monster of the Day just set up shop over night and their product is literally draining your lifeforce for the Dark Kingdom but people keep going there
