Talulahh's POV:


"The Berserkers cordially invite your to be their honored guests at the inaugural Berserker Apprenticeship Graduation Ceremony." Fishlegs read aloud once again before gasping. "Guys, Berserker Island. I'm so excited to see where Heather comes from."

"And Dagur." Hiccup added. "You know, they say you can learn a lot about people by tracing their place of origin."

Tuff spoke up, "Legend has is the old Nut family tree originated with the wild albino snow monkeys of the Northern Territories."

"That would explain a lot." I raised a brow.

"I wonder who the Graduate is." Dahlia smiled.

"I bet they're really happy. I remember my Apprentice Graduation Ceremony, I was so nervous I would mess up my speech on stage." I nodded in agreement.

"You studied being a healer, right?"  Elodie said softly from behind Dahlia.

"Yep, and it might just be the only reason these muttonheads keep me around." I joked, Elodie giggled.

Astrid teased, "Yeah, there's really no other use for her."

"You find other uses." I winked.

Dahlia gasped, "Talulahh Haddock, there are children around."

Hiccup decided to change the subject, "Now, guys, this is the first time we've been asked to Berserker Island."

"So?" Snotlout made a face.

"So, no matter how weird or Berserky it gets, just try to stay calm." Hiccup explained.

We (except for Snotlout and the twins) had all dressed up a little nicer than usual.

I was wearing a long, green, gauze dress with a leather belt around my waist. My hair was done in simple a half-up braid, the rest was down.

Astrid was dressed mid-length, teal, cotton skirt with a simple, brown blouse. Her hair remained in her usual braids.

Dahlia wore a cream color blouse and a leather skirt. And Elodie (who didn't have very many clothes) wore one of my old dresses, which was a lovely shade of dark purple.

Hiccup and Fishlegs wore boy-ish things, while they did look nice, I don't think you'd care for me to explain their attire.

We landed and walked across a beautiful bridge. "Welcome to Berskerker Island, where dreams become realities." A guard said, not very enthusiastically. "Name?" He looked at his list.

"Haddock, H-Hiccup." My brother stuttered.

"And Berg, Dahlia." The redhead added.

"Uh, we're here for the ceromony?" Hiccup said.

"Did not ask you that." The guard said, annoyed. "Next."

"Hofferson, Astrid." My girl spoke up.

"Haddock, Talulahh." I nodded.

Elodie stepped forward timidly, "Berg, Elodie."

"Next?"

"Ingerman, Fishlegs-" He tried to speak, but Snotlout cut him off.

"Move, move. Jorgenson, Snotlout Gary." The boy tried to walk by confidently.

The guard stopped him, "Hold it. Not on the list."

"Oh, no, he has to be on the list." Hiccup frowned, "Can you look again?"

"Only Jorgenson I see is a Snot-hat." The guard replied.
