This is Berk. Only five years ago we dragons called it Stone-Viking Island, but now we call it home. It's been stomped and frozen, but it's still home. It's only been half a month since I defeated the Dark One and became Alpha of Berk. I still haven't met everyone in my new pack and fights break out daily, but I'm starting to get used to it. I guess that's why life had to send another few surprises my way…


Toothless - Berk, March 2013

Where is she? I wonder. I need to go meet the Raincutters from the Ice Cavern, before they start fighting the Drago's Army Raincutters.

It seems the search for my second was going to be hard. Cloudjumper had refused, saying he was Frostking's second; he couldn't be my second, not so soon after Frostking's death. Well, that and he found Winterclaw from the Drago's Army Pack, she's his new mate. Wish I was that lucky but no, I'm the last Night Fury. He found himself another Stormcutter after only a few days in Berk!

As for the others: Hookfang kept starting fights with the dragons we we're supposed to stop from fighting, Barf and Belch was always arguing with himself, and Meatlug kept falling asleep while meeting new dragons. That only left Stormfly, and she was probably late because of Astrid. It always seems that whenever Astrid isn't with Hiccup or her apprentice dragon rider, Lars, she's with Stormfly. She'll probably be here soon, and then we can get started.

I sigh, still not quite believing it all. I never wished to be an alpha, not even when Hiccup and I defeated Redqueen. For five years I resisted being an alpha and it had cost Stoick his life. If I had just accepted the title of alpha then, the Dark One wouldn't have been able to control me. It's my fault he's dead, just like it's my fault Coralpool died, all those years ago.

A familiar looking Terrible Terror was flying towards me. It's Sharpshot, Hiccup's Terror. He's ok, for a Terror. He shrieks "Alpha! There's a fight over at the great hall! A Skrill and Nightmare!" I growl quietly. Not another one! I wonder what this one's about?


Nightshade

Not again! Why does it always seem Thunderstrike can't stand the thought of me being friends with other male dragons? It's not like we're mates or ever will be! But silently yelling at him won't stop this fight. All I was doing was speaking with a Monstrous Nightmare called Ashwing; he had been from the Ice Cavern Pack. I hadn't even introduced myself yet when Thunderstrike decided Ashwing was a threat and launched himself at him. Before I could do anything my friend Cloudtail attacked Thunderstrike, allowing Ashwing to fly off. Now it seems Thunderstrike and Cloudtail are in a battle to the death. I roar "Thunderstrike! Cloudtail! Stop it! Stop fighting!"

They either don't hear me or are ignoring me. I have to stop them, but how?

I continue yelling at them and attempting to get between them, but they keep going at each other. Suddenly, a loud roar causes all of us to stop, an alpha's roar. "Stop! What is the meaning of this fight?" We all cringe; no one can disobey an alpha's command, and I keep my eyes down. It's best not to look Alpha in the eyes. Cloudtail quietly states "Thunderstrike attacked a Nightmare, unprovoked, and Nightshade and I were trying to stop him."

The Alpha turns towards Thunderstrike "Is this true?"

Thunderstrike snarls "Yea, except he was moving in on my mate."


Toothless

"I'm not your mate Thunderstrike! Nor will I ever be your mate!" roars the Female Nightmare.

The Skrill snorted in contempt, as if he knew she was his and she just didn't realize it. I already disliked the dragon; I hate dragons who believe they can just claim a female and not win her heart first. But there was something about him and her, they seemed, different. Then I saw his eyes, blood-red. A Night Fury/Skrill Hybrid! Not the best of combinations. I have a really bad feeling about him. At least the Nadder seems normal, unlike the Nightmare, because of her unusually black-colored scales. Probably a hybrid of some type, can't tell though, she won't even look at me.

"If she doesn't favor you as her mate, you have no reason to fight others over her, Thunderstrike. Go, and don't let me see you fighting over her again." He gives a quiet growl and flies off.

I turn towards the Nadder, I think his name is Cloudtail. "You did the right thing, stopping him and the Nightmare. Who knows what they would have done to each other and to Berk?"

"Thank you, Alpha." I turn toward the Nightmare, Nightshade was it? Something bothers me about her. I know I've never met her before today, but yet she seems familiar. Who and what is she?

She finally looks me in the eyes, and I'm surprised to see they're blue. Nightmares only have yellow eyes; the only species that sometimes has blue eyes are…

Night Furies! She's a Night Fury/Monsterous Nightmare Hybrid!

She seems just as surprised as me and quietly asks "Darkwing? Is that you? I thought you were dead!"
