With the human mother secured and the child fully recovered, the preparations can now commence. Given two decades the child will grow into a magnificent being. Now the big question is the mark on Valka's hand. It was an enigma, what could the mark mean. It's no coincidence that the mark takes the shape of Thrallokgram's breed a Stormcutter in the human tongue. The King himself is baffled at the news. He observes the mark himself and he sees a faint line, a line that connects Thrallokgram and the human. Could it be that the two are bonded in a magical sense. It's only a theory, yet is plausible.
"Zu'u aal kros Vos wah of an osos frahzogin." (I may be able to provide some information.) An elder dragon named Zoorsahwuth (Legend, Phantom, Ancient) approaches. She is a rare, and elusive Silver Phantom, a breed of reclusive dragons once thought to be extincted. This specific one is around his golden years and is around 800 - 900 years old.
"Vosro hon nii."(Let's hear it.) The rest of the dragons sat down.
"What are they saying?" Valka whispers to Thrallokgram or should we say 'Cloudjumper' a name given by Valka herself, which closely resembles his Dovahzul name.
"It's about you, and me actually. Specifically that." Cloudjumper points at her mark.
"And that old dragon knows about it?"
"We'll find out soon enough."
Apart from the mark. It seem that Valka can only understand Cloudjumper due the aforementioned mark. In reality Cloudjumper was always speaking Dovahzul, while he hears Valka speaking in Dovahzul instead of Norse. Both of them just realized that fact.
"Nii Los faan grin zii pahgein nix joor ahrk dovah." (It is called a 'bond' a spiritual unison between mortals and dragons.) The elder drew a figure of the latter in the dirt.
"Nii Vos ney wah brah suleyk nol enook vorey, ol do nu Thrallokgram ahrk min fend fey strin wah gein vorey mul grin rinid lot suleyk."(It allows both to draw power from each other, as of now Thrallokgram and the human should stay close to one another. A strong bonds equates to greater power.) He draws lines that connect the two drawings to help explain.
"Nuz druv dreh hi mindok pah do daar." (But why do you know all of this?) The king ask puffing icy fogs from his mouth, indicating he was interested in the subject.
Zu'u lost grin wah min ont ko gut hond himdah."(I was bonded to a human once in a faraway land.) He wrote his name on the dirt. 'Gregory'
"Do you know something about that name?" Cloudjumper asks Valka.
"Is she talking about the Legendary Knight known as Sir Gregory? The same Norman Knight who defeated a powerful dragon? But that'd mean... "
"Yes, human. I am the same dragon. " The Elder faces Valka causing her to step back in shock. A voice in her head.
"I can understand you?"
"Gregory taught me his language. And I can communicate with telepathy." She gave Valka a sort of smile. "We can talk more later. I'll have to wrap this up first for I got the king giddy."
The elder explains the benefits having a bond with a mortal. The humans body will be strengthen like a dragon and the dragons intellect and understanding will be heightened, and many more, it actually depends on the breed of dragon. The elder as stated to be a bonded dragon does look rather youthful than most elder dragons. Her power is still at it peak where as a decline occurs that comes with aging.
Later as Valka was tending to Hiccup's needs the Silver Phantom appears behind her.
"And now to continue our little conversation." She smiles at the dragon.
