NEVER BELONG

Part 7 (a bad encounter)

Hiccup POV

It was early in the morning and we are about to set
off flying to the great beyond. Yesterday was shocking, finding out there is more land beyond our borders. Dagur and Heather have asked their father to allow them to join us, giving them their independents on leaving their parents caring arms. They both are lucky to have a loving parent.

We have packed all our staff from our past stay at Berserker island, putting them on our other dragons, HookFang, the Monstrous Nightmare, Meatlug our Gronckle, and the Hideous Zipplebacks, Barf and Belch. They too help transport Heather's and Dagur's stuff.

After we check and packed our needs, the Berserker chief wants to have a word with us. "Take care out there, the world is a big and unpredictable place. If you all ever come back, just know that theirs a home for you all here in Berserker island and we will let you in with open arms" said the Chief sincerely, tear treating to unleash knowing he will miss both his children. "Heather and Dagur, please watch each other's back, stay strong and stick together because family is everything, do also protect Hiccup and Astrid, we all come to like them". He added resting both his hands on each of the sibling's shoulders while they nodded in agreement and soon embrace each other in a warm loving hug. It was a heart-touching moment, the family has tears eyes and the feeling of not letting go, but eventually they have too. "Father, we will come back home, don't you worry and we aren't going to stay they forever," Dagur said with a reassuring smiling "I know, is just I'm not used to it" the Berserker Chief reply, returning the loving smile

After they all said their good-byes, more like a see you soon like bye, they departed Berserker island while waving at the people. "Thanks for companying us," I said happily while looking at Dagur and Heather, who smile "it's no problem brother, we needed to come to help you to get out of trouble and besides, I always wanted to know what mystery hidden beyond our borders" exclaim Dagur while forcing on the sky and taking in the ocean breeze

About a few minutes of flying we reach the border of the archipelago which is a heavy thick fog that makes it harder for ships form entering and exiting the barbaric archipelago. Once we enter the fog, all the bright light disappears only leaving light that is filtered by the fog, it wasn't much but it still did its job by light our way, and so it begins.....

<•>~<•>~<•>

After what seems like a year-long fight, the riders and their dragons where tried and there were still blindly flying in the fog, it was fairer than they thought. To make the matter worst, the weather also gets more dangerous every time they fly further in the fog. The sound of tilde waves that crash on the ocean floors, the heavy rain that flows upon our skins and the flashes of lightning, and the booming thunder that erupt the dark foggy sky. It was scary to say the least but they have to keep moving forward. They were close, thanks to Toothless's echolocation abilities which they discovered just a week ago, with that they were able to predict the way of the exit or entrance. Whatever you want to call it.

The constant suffering from the cool and harsh weather that is within the fog was coming to an end when they spotted a sigh of bright light that lay just above the horizon. Finally a way out. Without a second thought, the riders and their dragons that followed rush towards the light, ignoring the possible hostiles that may lay within, but their excitement and tiredness have covered their minds.

Once they exited the boring fog and enter that seems like a new other world for them, which it is. New feelings have come, clouding their minds with imagination of endless possibilities of land, dragons, and different tribes might be around the corner, waiting to be discovered.
