Mothers and Daughters

Mothers and Daughters

Asgard and Valhalla were currently rebuilding from the vicious and unexpected attack of what they now recognized were Loki's son Jormungandr aka The Midgard Serpent who had somehow taken a wraith form to get around the rules and attack them.

And no doubt it was Loki's other son the Wolf Fenrir who had been causing the same trouble on Berk at the same time as a wraith. Those brothers were thick as thieves and loyal to their father the troublesome Loki who'd been cast out of Asgard when he and his sons refused to accept Transformation and Enlightenment.

As Odin and Frigga were now we're telling all who gathered within the heavily guarded Council Chamber within the shining and magnificent palace of Odin. It had to be heavily protected after Loki's sons' attack on both Asgard/Valhalla and Earth.

Gathered inside once more were Odin and his wife along with Stoick and his dragon with the speaking pool allowing White King to speak from the Dragon Soul Sanctuary. Toothless, Moon Shadow, Stardust and Nightrainbow's parents have gathered as well and of course Kara.

On the other hand at this moment there were two other goddesses as well as three other Valkyries, in addition, the speaking pool was likewise permitting two small female beings to speak through it as well.

Outside this room, Odin had ordered his sons Thor and Balder to oversee both the rebuilding and the protection of all who lived in both Asgard and the Valhalla village. Furthermore that the Valkyries sisters work with the dragons to make certain that they're protected as well and that their Sanctuary continued to be protected as well.

"Are you sure our sons are safe themselves, my beloved?" his wife asked for the thousands time since he'd given the orders an hour ago as they'd been trying to get this meeting started.

"Frigga, my love, we've done all we can and you know how Thor and Loki's son have a never-ending feud. If that damn snake somehow is able to get around the protection spells a second time he's gonna get a hammer smashing in his thickheaded skull."

"Well, that was one thing that was always true in the legends and never did change after the Age of Transformation and Enlightenment, that we can say for sure," Frigga admitted.

"Some things, my dear, Frigga never do change. Even though many of us have grown wiser and become better and more beautiful people.

Really it wasn't so much about us changing ourselves physically when it came to transformation though we did change our appearance in the end. It was how we changed on the inside and chose to become who we want to be," spoke an attractive but petite goddess.

She'd flowing waist-length hair that rippled in waves that made it go from copper to gold and back again and her large eyes looked like the most fertile soil with the fairest of skin.

Everything about this goddess gave off the persona of a lady full of great love for life and everything in it. Additionally, she radiated the ways of peace, harmony, and beauty. Even her lovely unique accent and stunning dress of remarkable lively colors of new life showed she was a woman of serenity, love, and life.

"You got that right, Miss Love. We transformed ourselves from the inside out. Our souls changed as did our minds and thus we changed outwardly. Something that stupid Mr. Trick of the Week and his fur ball and scaly boys never got!" sassed the other goddess who was tall with long wild pinkish red hair with large midnight blue eyes and obviously quite a big personality.

"You've both made your point, Freya," Odin looked at the tall goddess then glance at the petite one, "As have you Sjofn. But please let's not try and bring too much sass today, Freya? And Sjofn don't be afraid to really speak your mind, okay?"

"Alright, Odin," both agreed.

"Now about you, the Dragon Valkyrie Trio? Are you ready to offer your own words to this meeting as we all must offer something to really aid in what's to come?" Frigga looked at three of Kara's sisters.

"We are all more than ready, my Lady," spoke a white-winged Valkyrie with bluish-white hair and summer blue eyes named Eir with a confident smile.

"We will do all we can to help of course. We did all swear our oath on our First Day Ceremony. Even if what we originally swore as changed with our abilities and who we became our vow at the core hasn't," a blacked winged Valkyrie with curly black hair and dark eyes named Rota reminded them.

"Yes, we swore to uphold the duties of escorting souls here, helping with whatever those souls needs were, doing whatever you commanded us to do. And when we also became guardians of souls and not just reapers we swore to do all we could to save souls as well so they could live their lives to the fullest before we bring them here to live their death to the fullest." Mist who was a gray winged Valkyrie with long lavender hair in a high ponytail.

"We also liked to say when we became in charge of what is now consider New Helheim we are doing with our sisters what Hel asked us to do in her place after she was the only one to accept Transformation and Enlightenment," called out one small voice.

Looking into the viewing well they saw two fairy size beings. One had flowing sky blue hair with light blue skin and lavender eyes. She was dressed in a honeydew dress with rose accessories and had butterfly wings.

The person next to her was the same size of her only five inches tall and had turquoise skin and wore a strapless orchid dress, fingerless gloves, choker and flats, and her hair was in the style of a flame and was a mix of reddish pink, orange and purple. Her wings were made of iridescent light.

"It's nice to know Hel was able to save many of us her old Frozen Imps and Seeds of Evil and you allowed us to be the first into the Asgardian Hollow. Now we are Spirit Sprites and Seeds of Hope," spoke the former Imp now Sprite

"Reena is right we only have one wish is that we can save the rest of our sisters from being used by the COE from our former purpose. It's all we wish and it was a final request of Hel," spoke the Seed of Hope.

"And it's a secret that cannot leave this room. All of you in this room must remember that none of you can let it slip not even to souls back on Earth even if it may help them that Hel was the only one of Loki's children to accept Transformation and Enlightenment," warned Odin.

"Well, it's a secret we've all already kept for 23 years haven't we?" Luna Rose spoke up from her seat looking up at her "rider'

"Yes, Luna Rose is right. All who are gathered here already are in on that secret but understand why it can't be made known to anyone else outside these walls. If it got out to the rest of Asgard and Valhalla and possible to Earth?" Star Lancer started to say.

"It would ultimately place many families in both Realms in a lot of danger. Including our own. After all, you don't exactly walk away from someone an infamous as Loki or from what we already gather about this COE and not exactly have a target on your back!" Aria sang.

"And if her brothers' attacks on Berk and here are any indication? They sure are pissed off with her!" Soulwings said for everyone grimly to which everyone nodded in grim agreement.

"Yes, when those who refuse to accept Transformation and Enlightenment all banded together. It only made the already formed Council of Evil stronger, because they just transformed themselves into something uglier and only closed their minds and that made them more dangerous." Sjofn pointed out as she remembers what happened so long ago by Earth time but for them, it didn't seem so long ago.

"It was dark days for all of us. Just when the Age of Transformation and Enlightenment was starting and it started like it did on Earth slowly and it wasn't an overnight thing. It did take several Asgardian years. Change never happens overnight." Freya reminded them.

"But it was worth it after the first prophecy was made and we saw what your family was going to accomplish with or without special gifts Stoick. Just your three wonderful children being themselves was all the turning point that your Realm needed and ours needed too." Kara took his hand in hers and squeezed in reassuringly.

"I'm glad that we changed so many minds. I was glad they changed my mind and that we all did so much. Makes me fill my life was worth something."

"Your life was worth a great deal, Stoick the Vast!" shouted the Dragon Valkyries in shook as they looked at each other in disbelief and looked at all the dragons and Stoick and decided to tell them what they'd accomplished in both their lives and deaths.

"Stoick! If you hadn't been born Valka would never have had anyone to love her and none of your children would've been born to do all the miracles they're meant to do!" Eir started to explain and Rota took over.

"Which includes taking care of Toothless, Moon Shadow, Stardust and Nightrainbow so they could also do their job of taking care of Dragonkind after White King's time was over.

You loved your wife and kids and raised them right and now they'll love their wives and husband and children and raise them right and keep Berk safe and so this Golden Age could be brought about!"

"And furthermore if you weren't around neither Earth nor Asgard would've had an Age of Transformation and Enlightenment! Then when the Red Death massacred all of the Dragons of Legend we wouldn't have been able to grant them a second life here!" Mist spoke in a passionate voice.

"That's is true, Stoick. Without you, our people wouldn't be around to keep the Rainbow Bridge stable and safe. Nor sing the songs of encouragement and make beautiful music with the Valkyries. Nor would me and Aria be around to guard the Spirit Portal and be allowed to know our only child our son be safe with your daughter." Spectrum realized with great clarity.

"Same goes for us, Stoick. Without you and your children and the miracles you did and without of course Soulwings help and him and you destined for each other we won't be where we are now either," Draco pointed out and Yvaine added in.

"Yes, Asgard still have unpredictable weather, if we hadn't been given the job to help balance it out and protect this beautiful land. Or more importantly your son Boden taking care of our only daughter Stardust."

"And your eldest son is the only reason that the Night Fury bloodline has continued on at all. It's been great for our family all around," stated Lightning Storm proudly.

"Yes, without him and his siblings making sure his dragon and our daughter had our ten grandchildren the bloodline would've surely ended." Strike Flyer matter of fact tone.

"More importantly again without you, our other children wouldn't have had the chance to let their soul bodies grow up here and fall in love and mate. Or given such significant jobs that allowed them to help prevent Loki's snake son from doing more damage than he did." Star Lancer pointed out the facts to everyone proudly.

"Yes, Moonlight Blaze and Strike Fire used their powers of Moonlight Blaze using plasma to light up her marking and Strike Fire's own plasma burning hotter than hot to defend the Reaping Mares.

Jasper Sky and Star Dancer were able to defend the DSS because of Jasper Sky talent in making ball lighting and Star Dancer making shadow clones.

And Luka Star and Star Gazer defended the Hallow with Luka Star having plasma laced wings and Star Gazer able to make plasma shields through her birthmark." Luna rose recited the events as they had unfolded.

"Not to mention we defend our friends Odin and Frigga well with our own talents, don't forget that our loves. You can heal, my love. Living or dead. Doesn't matter you have the healing touch and Star Lancer can shoot farther and higher than anyone."

"And you Lightning Storm can light up your body like a storm and Strike Fire can manipulate the shape of your plasma blast to do more damage," Luna Rose respond back to her beloved husband.

"Yes, we are all thankful for all that we've each have done. You're all thankful for what this amazing human family has done for both the Earth Realm and now have done for Asgard and I'm thankful for what your children did after my death.

No king could ask for more worthy successors then those raised by such wise and pure-hearted children raised by such an honorable man and beautiful and courageous woman such as you and your wife Valka, Stoick." White King praised the late Viking Chief.

"I'm thankful for all your compliments and you deserve your own dues. After all, you three are more than worthy of the title of Dragon Valkyries for escorting the Dragon Souls here to the Dragon Soul Sanctuary.

You three personally mapped it out and named all the locations and did make sure all was right and in order after this attack. So you haven't failed in your duties there at all."

The beautiful trio blushed extremely but nodded and said musically. "Thank you so much for such a beautiful and honorable compliment, Stoick. We so don't deserve it but thanks."

"Don't deserve it, my sisters?" the golden-winged Valkyrie asked with her eyebrows arched in shock. Standing tall she told her sisters proudly. "I'm the one given the honor as the only golden-winged Valkyrie charged with watching over the Haddocks, which is a great honor, yes.

On the other hand? You've got an equally an honor, my courageous, attractive and benevolent sisters! Your job of making certain no dragon soul is lost! Therefore don't sell yourselves short, my cherished sisters!" as she had tears of liquid pride streaming down from her teal eyes.

"And neither should either of you, Freya or Sjofn. Not just on your own individual duties am I speaking of either. But rather on the sacred duty, we all share and still must carry out and protect at all cost." Frigga spoke in soft almost whispering voice.

"Yes, the duty of protecting and making sure true love lives on!" they both spoke in the same whispering voice with set and determined looks on both their attractive faces.

"Yes, it is our sacred duty the Tapestry has assigned all of us to carry out. To make sure true love doesn't perish. That one and all get their happy ending with the one they are meant to be." Frigga stated proudly about what one of her most cherished duties was.

"We need to make sure then the COE never ever succeeds in taking that one way. As you know after we all spend our lunar cycle in the Hallow we gave you all the knowledge had on the COE prior to Hel betrayal to it." Reena reminded them of one good thing that had come from their own Transformation and Enlightenment.

"Yes, and now that we've also with the rest of our sisters done what Hel order us to do and made New Helheim the 'evil souls?" well they aren't as bad as what left in the Wastelands of Helheim of where Hel's old Citadel lies Luriel told them.

"Yes, we set up a New Helheim over 2 thousand miles away. It's a rather more beautiful place and happier too then the Wastelands. There is a 300-feet tall ice shield double wall around the perimeter that has watchtowers and guarded by some very friendly polar bears we acquired from Earth," Reena began to explain and it was showing in the viewing well what New Helheim looked like so they all could see it for themselves.

"Inside we've created a marvelous city made ice and snow and waterway streets and in the heart of this is the great sprawling ice palace. It was everything Hel wished it could be before. It's her dream made real. We made created it in honor of dream of what she always wanted in her life," Luriel finished explaining what their former mistress's last wishes had been.

Therefore even though it's evil souls and they cannot be redeemed? They do not have to be condemned, to be nothing more the wraiths wandering forever tormented; like those still lost in the Wastelands are.

The evil souls here at least have a somewhat more comfortable spot where if the must be locked forever in a frozen wasteland and not in the comfort and beauty of Valhalla for whatever reason there no need to punish them further," Reena explained what Hel had told them to explain why she had wanted this before whatever had happened to her.

Yes, Even evil deserve some mercy and release in death. They've done their crimes when they're living and done enough damage. They're already doomed to be in a frozen wasteland and never to feel the warmth of the sun or see a blade of grass or feel soft skin again. Isn't that enough of a punishment?

Let them endure the hell they've made for themselves and have something to endure it comfort for the rest of time. They made their lives hell and now they're in Helheim, but they can get a small break.

Or at least that what Hel wanted to give them when she reached her Transformation and Enlightenment." Luriel concludes with and everyone was glad Hel had seen beyond what her legend self-said or her so-called duty and felt pity and sympathy for those in her Realm.

"Consequently now that we've all talked about what we are thankful for. Also, we all understand that we cannot inform those of Earth of who betrayed the COE.

Regardless of it was told to us they're aware of a betrayal within the COE. We ourselves can't betray Hel's secret without jeopardizing everyone lives if it was told it was her.

Still, we must be prepared and be ready to help ourselves and loved ones when the next strike comes. And knowing from experience that will come sooner than later." Odin stated for one and all.

"We all understand perfectly well and who knows what foul idea they've cooked up? Knowing what they are capable of it's bound to be something really underhanded and deadly when it comes to them, my husband," as his wife place her right hand on his shoulder her wedding ring glistening.

He put his on hand with his ring over it and held on tight. "Perhaps if it not too much trouble we could use the Well to look down on Earth for a few moments and get an idea of what's going on?"

"No problem we will allow ourselves to be scared so you can see what's going on down below." White King, Reena, and Luriel all said and they all faded and the Viewing Well changed to show them everyone was in the Great Hall of Berk looking like they're packing for something.

Right now on Berk, everyone was hoping a bit of downtime would cool everyone and give them a chance to relax. Because based on the previous experiences of the last two generations they knew evil didn't rest for long. So they're at least hoping for one night of relief for their children and grandchildren.

So for a bit of bonding, the girls were going to go camping on one end of the island and the boys would be camping on the other end of the island. It was just supposed to be an overnight camping trip.

A chance to sleep under the starry night skies and watch the Aurora Borealis and perhaps if lucky even a bunch of falling stars. Campfire stories and tasty snacks and just bonding.

"So I'm going over the list of inventory for the third time to make sure we've got everything packed for everyone," Birger was crossing things off on his ever-present clipboard. He was after all overseer of Berk as he was the most organized and most efficient in time management.

"Birger, honey sometimes I think you get a bit too obsessive with how many times you check and recheck things on that clipboard of yours," his wife Alle came striding over from helping Haldor saddle up Sorrel Meatlug's granddaughter.

"You really think I've had a problem with being obsessive?" he asked his wife who looked at him in a way as if to say "You kidding me?"

"C'mon, Birger! I know your mother Breezy's mind was always bursting at the seams with artistic ideas so your house was a mess as a kid and you needed to clean up it up.

But I swear I you just have to have things so orderly and tidy I call what you have an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. And while you don't seem to affect you in a negative way like get in the way our marriage or you being a kindhearted person and you rather clean up a hoarder's house then be one.

It still makes you so obsessed with lists, rules and time and at times almost impossible to be inflexible. You may have failed geography as a kid, but you really do have this disorder and we should add it to the list of new discovery with our growing list of things."

"You really think I have got a problem with being obsessive, Alle?"

"She's not the only one who thinks that, Birger. We're both the Dragon Hatchling school teachers and it's our job to pay close attention to the young and be very observant," Velika piped up as she and Larkin came over after helping Jary with his camping supplies and soon were joined up Ria and Lanon who were busy with Hertha.

"Oh, what's so wrong with any of you may I say? If I really have a compulsive disorder, what about you, Ria?" Birger looked at his sister with a cocky look.

"Must you still bring up the fact I was a klepto as a child? Or now you gonna bring up the fact that I bite my nails too?" she shot back at her brother as if it was a crime to have a bad habit.

"Well, I'm just saying I'm not the only one with a problem."

"We didn't say you were, Birger. My sister and I still have problems. I'm still clumsy as ever!

Which we did learn thanks in part my little sister's husband, and of course Hiccup and his siblings, this was found to do something with my ears and how the brain keeps one balanced." Alle reminded her husband who flushed with embarrassment.

"Yeah, and as she has problems standing upward due to this problem we figure out we call this problem your wife's got "Vertigo". One of my brother and I best moments is whenever we discover a new illness and how to treat it," Larkin said and his big brother Lanon added.

"Yeah in the last 12 years Berk become a lot more knowledgeable that things we put down only a short time ago to do with magic, curses or other foolishness. Now we have a better understanding of the mind and body and made a lot of advancements in how to treat both humans and dragons and made both our mother and great-aunt so proud."

'And we are doing all the dragons so proud by giving their children such a well round and highly advance education, wouldn't you agree, Alle?" Velika inquired to her big sister who nodded.

"Yes, we are very proud of what we have done."

"What are we all so proud of? What are you all talking about?" called out Bloodfire as she and Brimstone came over.

"Oh, hey, Bloodfire. We're just talking about our minor problems and what we've achieved ourselves in the past 23 years," explained Ria.

"Oh, that's great to know. My brother and I have accomplished a lot ourselves."

"And so have we if we may add ourselves too. Don't forget us!" called out Creel and Gala.

"We'd never forget all of our group so what have you been up too and what have you really contribute to the world in the last 23 years? Do tell us?" everyone wanted to know.

"Well as we left our spouses with the children as they've got to stay in the village while we're on this outing we like to point out first what we've accomplished.

I know I still stutter every now and then, but thanks to my big brother Snotlout I've got a much better grip on it," grinned Brimstone and then Bloodfire looked at her brother and punched him in the shoulder.

"Ow! Sis! What was that for?!"

"It's because I had Astrid for my older adopted sister and you had Snotlout and if they weren't always fighting neither of us would've become as excellent warriors we've become!

Then you wouldn't have become Head of Security on Berk and I wouldn't have become Head of Security of the Berk Dragon Nursery!" she pointed out the simple truth.

"And our true loves wouldn't be working side by us either and neither of us would have such a wonderful son or daughter either," her elder brother noted with a smile.

"That's too is true. So what about you two? Creel? Gala? What about your husbands? Daughters? And other accomplishments for the past 23 years? Anything you like to say about them?" asked Bloodfire as she was leaning against the wall as the two friends smiled at each other.

"Well, being masters of all the trades of the island like our mothers before we have really come in handy and we can help out anytime and in any crisis," Creel noted with pride.

"And our husbands Mordrel and Amacrain are the best dream team to work alongside Ruffnut's husband Eret as he's the handyman and they are the architect and constructionist. So we are truly proud of our husbands as well!" Gala stated with equal pride.

"As for our daughters? Well it's impressive that both Oili and Runa share the same unique talent and they get along so well and we're proud of them no matter what they do," both agreed.

"We're are overjoyed to hear all of you speak so highly of yourselves and your own children. It makes us feel proud of all of you. But come we must be going or we won't get this camping trip in at all," spoke their mothers from behind all of them.

Valka had been talking in the corner with her children and Toothless and Moon Shadow had been busy along with many other dragons going over some security measures with everyone.

At last everyone was ready to go and have some fun and it was just hugs and kisses and reminders to be back by breakfast the next morning as everyone then took off to appoint camping spot.

The girls flew for about two hours before coming to rest at the edge of a large meadow with lots of pretty flowers that was only 150 feet from the woods and an old entrance to the Dragon Nursery when it was the Underground Dragon Sanctuary.

"Okay, now that we've arrived here we are gonna make sure we stay organized and together. So everyone is to do their part in helping make camp alright?" Valka took charge.

"Now we are too always stay together with someone and not wander off. So I'm gonna assign jobs and we shall do them as they're given out, alright?"

"Yes, Mrs. Haddock."

"Alright, now my daughter and granddaughters and I will set about getting the tents up.

Bloodthorn? You and your family will start the campfire and Romi and Remi's family will help the cooking.

Lily, you'll be in charge of first-aid of course and Breezy's family can be your helpers.

Ewe I know neither of your daughters has a daughter of their own. On the other hand, this was for all mothers and daughters.

Therefore why don't you three go with Raven, Emerald along with Ruff and Eureka to forge about?

"We all will gladly do as you suggested, Valka. Let's get going on those chores everyone!" as the grandmothers and their families took off to do what they're expected to do but the remaining ones still looked to Valka for direction and guidance.

"Um what do you wish of us, Valka?" the rest of them wanted to know.

"Skullette, why don't you and your sister and daughters go collect firewood. Astrid? You and Asta can chop some of the bigger pieces into smaller pieces we can use."

"Well, we've both been itching to use our axes for days. Might as well as put them to good use." Astrid said with shrug of her shoulder.

"Yeah, Skullette just brings the biggest pieces you can find and we'll make short work of it!" Asta told her as she twirled her ax expertly.

"Will do, but don't behead anything, okay?"

"We won't!"

"How about we get all pots and pans ready. We can do that!" the flower twins squeal and their moms nodded and said, "We can have Esme help us as we agreed to watch her as she has no mother."

"Sure get pots and pans ready for cooking."

"My daughter and I will take care of everyone's dragons then. C'mon on, Merida, help me make sure the dragons are alright and get their needs met while everyone else is busy with their chores." Hawley called over to her daughter who skipped over causing her wild curls to bounce even wilder.

"No problem, Mom! Let's get to it! Do you have your lovely maces to protect them if something should happen and they can't defend themselves?"

"Don't leave home without them my darling lass. Now let's get to tending our scaly friends!" as mother and daughter went to tending the dragons and their needs for everyone else.

"I guess that only leaves me and Odyis to fetch the water then, huh?" Helena asked of Valka who looked at her with a small but concerned smile.

"You sure you'll two will be alright getting the water? I mean the path to the river on the other side of the meadow and over the next hill and it's got some tricky footing. Don't want any accidents."

"We'll be fine. You just make sure one of your granddaughters is tending all the dragons. My daughter and I will be back in about 45 minutes with the water."

"Alright, just be careful, Hel."

"Of course we will be," as she starts to walk away but paused for a moment to turn back around and called back "and Valka?"

"Yes?" Valka looked up once more and back at the beautiful wife of the Berserker Chief.

"I know my name can be shortened to Hel, but I rather people use my full name, Helena. I just think it sounds prettier and not sounding you know not like some ugly figure of old folklore."

"I can understand, Helena, if you're not wanting to have your name, even remotely sound like that of Loki's daughter, and be made fun of that. People in the past made fun of Hiccup's name given the name meaning of runt," her eyes flashed with tears and she shook with anger at those memories flashing in her mind's eye.

"My children names have to do with their births and aren't supposed to be used as insults or derogatory terms. He was only named Hiccup because he was born early and we both nearly died!" she choked out as that memory still haunted her terribly.

"I'm sorry that had to happen to you. It must have been the terrifying thing a mother could go through." Helena said empathically to older woman from one mother to another. For some unknown reason, she had a guilt-ridden expression cross her face for a split second. Shaking her head for a second to clear her thoughts she spoke again with compassion and sympathy.

"And I'm sorry that people would use your son's name as an insult when you chose it as means to symbolize his birth and as a way to hope he overcome it."

"Yes, all my children names again have to do with the significant of their births and as you can see Hiccup overcame everything from that cold winter night that nearly killed us both!" she practically shouted and took a few moments to regain her composure and then looked back at Helena with more understanding in her light blue eyes.

"So if you're concerned about being tormented because your name can be used in that way as an insult I'll make sure to not use like that. Though I did like it when my husband called me "Val".

"Well, there nothing insulting in all our culture to do with your name. However, if people use my name in any shape or form as an insult? Well…"

"I understand. I do. Sorry if I hurt your feelings."

"It's alright, Valka, you didn't know. Just for future reference let everyone know never to shorten my name. Just always call me by my full name is all. Now I've gotta go get that water with Odyis," as she smiled in a tender and understanding way at Valka.

Then she turned to call her beautiful little girl her pride and joy. "Come, my little ice lily. Let's go get the water," as mother and daughter left hand in hand on foot to go get the water.

Within in two hours, the camp was well established and everyone was having a fun time by singing songs and enjoying good food. Bloodthorn had once again outdone herself as a cook.

She simply explained it was her gift; that she'd dreamed like her husband Numbskull that they wanted to better the food for all of Berk and had worked their whole lives to give their people more food and better food.

"Everyone is gifted at something and it doesn't have to be some super special gift. It can be ordinary but as long as you good at it is a gift. And in your gift, you can express your heart and soul." Bloodthorn explained as smiled at her daughter and granddaughter.

"You know I think it does us all good to sing each other stories. As a story is better when you sing, don't you agree, Mommy?" Una asked her mommy.

"Yes, I agree as you never asked me to tell you a story you always asked me to sing you a story."

"We are a bit confused, Mommy," Freja piped up as she sat down her bowl of food.

"Yes, how can we sing a story?" both Gyda and Siri asked at the same time.

"Yeah, not all of us got the great singing voice that is part of our family legacy and no offense to you Aunt Una or you Grandma but everyone in our family knows Aunt Una the most musically talented in the family." Edyis pointed out a fact everyone knew.

"Yeah, it's why she teaches music classes at the Great Hall twice a week and trains the Dragon Choir with Nightrainbow!" Breena pointed out just how gifted her aunt was with music.

"Good points my daughters and nieces, but singing a story doesn't mean you have to sing it well. It just means singing however you feel and remember a story near and dear your heart.

Because whenever someone sings a story or a rhyme it's though people are truly hearing it for the very first time. And singing tends to get people attention more than just speaking."

"That is true, I'll agree too," Astrid nodded too and Asta added, "Yeah singing or doing something with a little more oomph or drama gets people attention a lot more than just talking sometimes. Though whispering does sometimes too. But you can't ignore someone singing as it really grabs their attention."

"Well, then how about we all go around the circle and all take turns singing about whatever story we wish to sing about and just bond? And make sure that we dragons get our turn as well," Moon Shadow spoke up from behind them.

"Don't worry, Queen Moon Shadow we won't let you be forgotten. Everyone shall get their turn don't worry," Valka promised assuringly.

"Very well, then how about you let us dragons go first then? I'd like to sing about one my earliest memories if that's alright?"

"Go ahead, Moon Shadow, just wait one second," Una request as she looked at everyone. "Did any of you by chance bring any musical instruments? I know part of the rules on Berk is we take two hours out of the day for everyone to spend doing whatever they want as a form of self-expression."

It turned out that all the girls of the Next Generation did have several different talents, on the other hand, had all signed up to take both art and music classes.

It'd seem that the 2-hour rule for creative expression was on all the islands in the DHA. Given the fact, all the Soul Riders and even Odyis on Berserk Island had all chosen when given the list of the countless activities offered to try out they'd all chosen 2 out of their four activities art and music.

As a result, all the Next Generation girls in point of fact were well-trained in both singing and playing various musical instruments. Thus when Moon Shadow and all who followed started to sing whatever story they wish to tell the group about they'd quite a good music accompanying them.

The grandparents' generation all told very colorful, interesting and insightful stories about events of the great significance of their childhoods that had led them down their paths to find their purpose in later life and also helped them find their true loves and have their families.

The parents' generation also were telling the same type stories about events of great significance that helped shape them in ways to make them who they were today. And very important memories of love and friendship and how all these stories ultimately helped lead to the Earth's Age of Transformation and Enlightenment.

When it came to the children turn they weren't sure they'd been around long enough to have any good stories to tell or had for the matter any great events of significant happen to them yet.

Still, their families encouraged them to at least talk about something that did mean something to them no matter what it was. If it was important to them just sing about it.

So they're singing about how they'd felt about when they'd become friends with each other and meeting their destined dragons, discovering their unique talents. A few special memories with their parents and then sang about their dreams about what they wished for their life and other things of the like.

It was almost moon rise when suddenly half the Haddocks cried out as did Moon Shadow's birthmark light up like a beacon and everyone knew someone was wrong.

"What's going on?!" almost everyone else cried out in a panic turning to the ones sensing the danger as if they know what was going on.

"All I can say is everyone's heart is under attack again. But it's not the wraiths. We took care of them. This is a different attack of some kind. But everyone still in some kind of danger. But I can't figure out what's being done to their hearts!" cried out Breena frustrated she couldn't explain what her powers were telling her.

"I can't explain it either as what I'm feeling from the whole islands emotions is even more confusing. Their emotions are mixed up worse than a bad pot of stew! I can't exactly explain why everyone's emotions are mixed up so badly!" Edyis also said in frustration.

"All we know the danger is coming from all sides of the island and it's coming also from the sea as well!" cried Freja, Gyda, and Siri pointing at all the directions where there be bays for ships to pull in.

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean the sea, my daughters?" asked Una confused.

"I think I may know what they mean. I must because the others must not have gotten the Dragon Airmail message if the COE intercept the mail. So the ships are from the other islands in the DHA coming to see why my sister's and the others haven't returned." Asta gave the most logical explanation.

"It'd make sense the COE would want to make trouble by intercepting the mail as they know one of the Soul Riders is a member of the Shardas Clan. My Daddy Tue.

While they may not be aware at this time he's one of my father's they do know if he's not on his island it would cause some political problems," Esme spoke up truthfully.

"And since Dagur and I aren't home that starting to boil our people blood. You can't change the fact Berserker blood runs hot. No matter how many years of peace you give them!" Helena expressed in exasperation.

"And the only reason Outcast would show up if the DHA was starting to become unbalanced!"

"Though what we like to know are they trying to destroy the DHA by causing a political turmoil or is it something else?" Eira and Erica wanted to know as they asked the group allowed.

"We think they've something a little more sinister in mind then that Mommies," their daughters answered in unison.

"We think the four of you are both are half right," Skullette started to say and Firefang continued. "They most certainly wanted the whole DHA here and it's something that may be part of the politics."

"But they want to take us down from the inside out that be for sure. That was their first attack plan with the wraiths and curse of insanity." Tove pointed out their first plan.

"But there must be something very significant about having all the islands in the DHA here and on Berk. It's like they want to take us all out at once. And we've to consider what Breena and Edyis are feeling even they can't make sense of it." Unn said practically.

"Well, whatever they're feeling might have to do with the fact with what I'm hearing with my very sensitive ears," Embla was down on her knees trying to shut out the noise.

"What are you hearing, my daughter?" Bloodfire wanted to know as she rocked her daughter soothingly.

Crying she got the words out. "The Shardas and Moralien Clans are not far from here. They are at each other throats and the way their speaking it's very harsh and angry words.

Words of a mind that is closed and a heart full of hate. It's almost like their minds are being slowly poisoned and the great progress we made over the last 28 years with all this Enlightenment is slowly being drained from their minds!"

"What?!"

"I'm sending some birds right now to monitor the situation while we figure this out!" Emerald cried out and quickly called out to the nearest birds and they flew rapidly off to do as she'd command.

"We need to figure out what we can do right now. Does anyone understand what is going on? What is going on and does anyone have insight into what the COE is doing and how we counter this attack?" Eureka asked the group.

"I'll cast my rune stones right now and they should give the answer and we can figure out what to do from there." Merida was reaching for her pouch when Helena suddenly spoke up and said, "That won't be necessary child. I know exactly what they're up to."

"Mom? How could you possibly know what this about? What do you know about the COE?!" inquired her daughter Odyis in shock as in fact as all eyes were on Helena who could feel what felt like a thousand eyes on her.

"Okay, I'm friendly with the Gods myself!" she finally admitted. Letting out a long breath and wiping some tears away she turned to the one person who'd understand her.

"Your family Valka wasn't the only one that Tapestry had in mind to help save the world. I didn't want it to get around. You've already seen the damage and danger your children been put through."

"Yes, you're just trying to protect your family and people. Therefore keeping it a secret was done in the name of love. Understood."

"Okay, look I won't go into the whole story as you understand I'm sure why" Helena looked and of course all the mothers and grandmothers understood after all they'd children and grandchildren and knew you did all you could in the name of love.

"I was told years ago I had a destiny tied to that Tapestry and I rather not say for the protection of my husband and daughter what I was told," glancing at Odyis who was very shocked at her mother keeping this secret.

Though Odyis was amazing understanding enough to know her mother was just trying to protect her. She'd only encountered this COE once so far, nevertheless had seen what power they'd wield from just one attack? And knowing her father's own childhood with her friends' families? Could she really blame her mother for wanting to protect her and her daddy?

"I will admit to one thing I did once in my lifetime. I cannot reveal what Frigga and Odin told me in confidence as Valka's family can't tell all of you what they're told of their time with the Gods.

But one thing that did happen to me as I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. During the time I was being told of my part on that Tapestry I had accidentally got lost in Odin's palace when I happen to just belong to the bathroom.

The servants in Odin's palace are quite friendly but lousy with directions. But I accidentally wound up near a place in the palace called "The Asgardian Hallow" and coming out of it was a Valkyrie with two fairy sized beings.

Think I overheard their names were Reena and Luriel and they'd were talking with this Valkyrie about something. They're saying how they're thankful they'd been just Transformed and Enlightened so they could go on and do someone final wish.

But they just hoped the COE would never be able to use their sisters that weren't saved to undo the Transformation and Enlightenment on others. The one named Reena said something that if she was still an Imp that they'd the power to undo Enlightenment by snuffing out its internal light.

And the one named Luriel said if she was still a Seed of Evil and not a Seed of Hope that she be forced to take away people's Transformation."

"So you're saying the COE is using these 'imps' to undo the Enlightenment on the Shardas and Moralien clans and hoping if it goes far enough they'll kill each other, Mom?" Odyis asked pale and shaking.

"I'm afraid it's again divided and conquer. I'm sure that they'll have the Seeds on the other side where they boys are possible are trying to take away Transformation of our tribe and Outcast and then have both attack Berk."

"Then there will be a bloody war on this island and we end up kill ourselves in a bloodbath and all we worked for dies at once!" Valka stated out loud the rest of the plan.

"Yes, self-destruction. They merely revert us to our old ways and let us do the rest to make us do their dirty work for them. I know what and who this reminds you of Valka. Frigha."

"They're trying to get us all to commit suicide! Indirect murder by merely setting up the circumstances so we kill ourselves but they are still the real murderers!" she seethed remember her friend who died 47 years ago.

"Yes, and if we don't work together to undo the poisoning of those imps we let them get away with genocide."

"How do we stop them, Helena? Do you have any ideas?" Everyone was turning to her and she looked uncomfortable and finally only could say. "I think the best we can do is restore their Enlightenment before those imps fully snuff it out of them.

"So do it the old fashion way? The way we did it the first time. Just talk to them and remind them what they've forgotten?" was what Oili and Runa stated and the Berserk Chief wife nodded.

"That's all I can say might work."

"Then let's do it! Riders to your dragons and let's get to that bay and get to work! And if we have to have a little bit of dramatics let's do it!" Come everyone and remember these stories we just have sung might be the keys! Let's go!" order the Queen-Moon Shadow.

"Yes are Queen!"

"Now remember we're doing this to save the people we love and the life we love too. So remember if this world falls all the Realms fall. So remember as long as we live in love and fight for love, family and friendship we will always overcome evil!

Let's go now!" declared the Queen of Dragon passionately as all the Riders of three generations flew quickly off in a dazzling formation to calm the fury of the minds that were slowly being brainwashed into the Old Ways.

There was a brawl alright and if they didn't stop it soon blood would spill and the victors went to the heart of the island to destroy Berk itself.

It was time to reignite the Light of Enlightenment and to do that first was to get their attention with the most important song that made sure the most important thing when it came to Enlightenment was to banish the most unenlightened thought there was.

That everyone was different and separate and therefore couldn't get along. That was the biggest illusion. That everyone and everything was truly connected and while different yes they'd more in common than they realized. And life was about accepting people for who they are and realizing they may be different but the same.

So everyone sang loud and clear to the two fighting groups who had to look up from the fighting to the dramatic singing and aerial show to listen because it was just something so outrageous you couldn't ignore it.

And the humans were singing one half and the dragons sang the other half.

The girls sang the first line "You think that life is one big game you joke and laugh and take no blame. I'm telling you there just no way we are the same!"

And the dragons replied back song "You've got to look past what you see, try not to judge so easily. Believe or not you're a lot like me! Believe it or not, you are a lot like me! We are really just the same!"

"I hear what you're saying but you need to explain."

"At the end of the day, it's like water and rain. We really if you think about it just the same!

Maybe I roar and you laugh but take a look under the scales. Deep in our hearts is what matters for sure.

Because we both know we are higher called like every creature big and small we all have a purpose in life that guides us all. Maybe yours and mine are to show everyone we are the same!"

"So you have your scales and I've my hair on my head."

"At the end of the day, it's like water and rain we are just the same!"

Then both shouted in song together. "We are just the same!"

"Never thought we see eye-to-eye."

"We can't imagine why it's very easy if you try!"

"Still to us they're brand new thoughts not to judge dragons by their scales."

"We told you we are just the same!"

"Forget about the past when there's nothing to gain."

"At the end of the day, it's like water and rain. We are the same! Forget about the past when there's nothing to gain! At the end of the day, it's like water and rain! WE ARE THE SAME! WE ARE THE SAME! WE ARE THE SAME!"

"We told you we are just the same!"

Now that they'd at least gotten everyone attention it was time to re-enlightened them about the lessons they'd seem to forgotten and to keep them from fighting they had to keep the distracted by continuing to sing and do tricks on their dragons.

They'd to break into groups and keep up the stunts as they sung their stories while using both their gifts and talents and impressive dragon talents as their words were reaching the minds.

The imps were struggling to regain control the mind but the singing was so strong and the dramatic display and them singing and showing the truth of what lessons had been learned from the last three generation took hold.

They're finally complete banished when they sang the same song that Hiccup, Boden, and Una had used to save the day on Edge when Snotlout and Twins stole their dad's birthday present.

"What makes someone special? We guess that depends on what makes each of us unique and we share as friends.

For our difference may be small or great but they all add variety that is the spice of life that makes us all want to celebrate!

In Harmony! In Harmony! That you're you and I'm me and together we can all live in Harmony!

If there was only one note to song of life it would be very boring indeed! We are so glad there are so many different notes in so many different keys!

Every voice sings with its own special quality and when we all sing together it brings music to life itself in ways we never dreamed!

In Harmony! In Harmony! That you're you and I'm me and together we can all live in Harmony!

In Harmony! In Harmony! That you're you and I'm me and together we can all live in Harmony!

It was an agonizing cry when the imps were all forced out and into the open air as if the beautiful warm sunlight was pure torture for them. They all looked at them with revenge in their eyes and came zooming at them as if to attack when something strange happened that no-one expecting.

A cage of golden light suddenly captured the swarm of Imps and they all fell instantly asleep.

Looking flabbergasted everyone looked up startled to see Kara appearing before them.

"KARA?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! WE THOUGHT IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE FROM ASGARD TO COME!" all the Haddocks cried out in shock.

"It's very dangerous that I'm here, yes. However, this is a duty all Valkyries have sworn to do as part of our new roles of guardians and making sure we collect redeemable souls.

Icefire Imps and Seeds of Evil are no different. My sisters Eir, Rota and Mist are with the boys on the other side of the island dealing with Seeds of Evil trying to deal with them attempting to undo Transformation."

"So Mom was right about what she accidentally overheard?" Odyis asked the golden-winged Valkyrie who raised one eyebrow at Helena.

"Yes, Odyis, your mother, and family have also ties to the Tapestry as all your friends do. Some just have thicker threads is all and you and your mother have thick threads."

"But why? When do I find out what my part to play? Like do I have a special talent? When do I find out what it is?" she wanted to know.

"No-one is meant to know who they are or their destiny till it meant to be revealed, Odyis. As you all know that lesson very well. As for your talent? It will reveal itself when the time is right. No sooner or later as do all gifts," the Valkyries replied to the pretty 12-year-old girl.

"So what do we now that the Shardas and Moralien clans are once more safe, Kara?"

"You need to hurry back to heart of Berk. Hopefully, you'll be meet up with the boys and be able to save your people from losing both their Transformation and Enlightenment.

I must get these Imps to the Asgardian Hallow quickly and I'll try to return as quickly as possible then. Hopefully, we'll be able to bring you some backup of some type and get the rest of the Imps and Seeds so they too can find Transformation and Enlightenment!"

"How much time to do we have?"

"No time! You must hurry like now!"

And with that, all girls headed quickly back to heart of Berk while Kara head to Bifrost to get the Imps quickly as possible to the Hallow and return with backup.

And they're wondering how the boys were doing on their side of the island all this time?
