 Navjeev dove down and swiped a Flyer off of the Singetail's back before tossing the man away. Dragon Flyers were everywhere, surrounding Berserker island. Large boats were off in the distance heading our way to get what they came for, The King. 

The other Riders helped fend off the Flyers, using anyway possible to get the men off of the Singetails. The Flyers soon started retreating until only Krogan was left, flying on the giant red Singetail. 

We surrounded him with our dragons as they hovered around him. Krogan turned his head to look at each of us with a snarl clearly seen on his face. He urged his dragon his push past us and flew back towards the incoming ships. I could hear the cheers from the Berserkers below us as Dagur gave Hiccup a thumbs up to which he returned the gesture. 

We gathered by the Berserker stables so we could talk with Dagur and Heather. Navjeev and the other dragons would shake and paw at their heads at times when we passed a certain spot on the island like they had an annoying itch they just couldn't reach. The other Riders and I found out it was because of the King toying with the nearby dragons as a defense mechanism.  

Hiccup went on telling Dagur and Heather about the King being here and how it could control other dragons, that's why Krogan and Johann wanted it so much. Tuff then started saying some stuff about the King being their Uncle Fenris? I honestly have no idea what they were talking about but it was kinda funny. 

"Can I ask question? What's wrong with the two of you?" Astrid stepped forward and asked in the usual annoyed tone she always had with them while placing her hands on her hips. 

"Where would you like us to begin?" Ruff asked. 

"Why do you make up these family members? It's not you Uncle Fenris under this Island. It's the King of Dragons." Astrid retorted, getting in Tuffnut's face. 

"Is that what you'd have us do? Take away our creative minds and be like the rest of you simpletons?" Okay, fine. We'll try it your way." He said, walking back to his sister. Oh boy, now Astrid started something. 

"Can we please get back to the task at hand?" Viggo spoke up and I nudged his arm. 

"No, no. I want to see this." 

"What do you think Johann's doing right now, sis?" Tuff started, facing his sister. 

"Uh, he probably send a second fleet to attack from the south as the first fleet re-engages from the north." Ruff then stated as Tuff gasped.

"Why would say such a thing?"

"Because that's what they're doing. I mean, that is them, right?" Ruff pointed over the edge of the cliff and Hiccup and Astrid ran over to see what she was talking about. Sure enough, exactly what she just said was happening. 

"You see? You see what happens when we get real? Things get real." Tuff said then both the twins started snapping their fingers. 

I could hear the distant screams from the Berserkers as hunters flooded into their village. The ships fired at the village, starting fires while the hunters attacked the island on foot. Heather and Dagur were ready to defend their island but Hiccup had to stop them while they made a plan. I looked up as I saw Wing Maidens fly down and start attacking the hunters. 

I grinned then mounted Navjeev. I noticed Hiccup and Astrid talking with worried expressions. I knew Hiccup was going off on his own to find the King himself. A warm hand was placed on my thigh and I looked down to see Viggo. Navjeev turned slightly and raised his other wing a bit higher so others wouldn't see. 

"Be safe." He said as I placed my hand on his. 

"I will be fine, don't worry." I smiled. He lingered for a bit before pulling away and going to Zyran.
