Ten years ago, in a land far west, a ground breaking moment in history broke apart the family of a chief. His only daughter, and his heir, had been harboring the most dangerous dragon known to mankind, a Night Fury. In a fit of rage, and to protect his land, he banished his thirteen year old girl off the land to fend for herself, giving her only a boat, some supplies and the company of her dragon. There, she was never seen again by her father nor her people. As time went on, and her story spread all across the world, not only did the news of her father's sickness reach her, but the news of her capture. In order for a leader by blood to guide the land, the outcast woman needed to return home. Yet for ten years, she's done anything but. Saga Solburg, daughter of Hermund Solburg, and rightful heir to Elio, and a traitor to mankind. For ten years she's lived on a small island in the North, by a dormant volcano, and lived her life at peace. She's crafted armor from the shed scales of her dragon, and leather, plowed a garden, crafted a bow with obsidian arrow tips, kept her canoe in decent shape to go sailing, and won any fight with bounty hunters trying to collect her. Perhaps her life was easy, and simple, but it was lonely. No man understood why she helped an infant dragon, and never listened to an explanation. It made her life lived in forced solitude, mistrust and paranoia. No twenty three year old woman should consider killing any human being for the sake of being human... Often times, she wondered what life would be like if her father decided to be the first to listen?

The sky was light and there was jsut a small black dot high in the sky. Above the clouds there is dark storm cutter. His wings out stretched and gliding. The dragon carrying bags on the side of him. His dark skin contrasting with the white clouds. Atop the dragon was a male he wore a helmet that covered his face and kept the window out of his eyes. It was modeled after the dragon that is flying right now. Soren was a nomad. Didnt have a home nor wanted one. He found Din when the dragon was just a young one. His mother killed by hunters. The two have been together ever sense. Soren yawns and pats the dragon. “Lets head down..lets rest..” the storm cutter growls softly as the two get ready to drive. The two blend into one as they angle down and began to head towards the sea. As they come out of the clouds they see a island. The dragon takes them and lands onto the beach. Soren stands and hops off of din. He turns towards the dragon to get ready to set up a small camp. Soren doesnt seem to notice the women or the dragon. Din sniffed and growls softly. His wings spreading and eyes slitting. Soren looks around and takes out a folding sword. “What is it..” the male was still hidden under the mask. Hsi voice deeper.

"It fits nicely! Perfect helmet to complete the set!" The only inhabitant, well, human inhabitant, squealed in delight, sliding off the hard helmet off her head. A semi thin layer of wood in between leather to keep structure. The best part? Like the rest of her armor, it was covered in shed scales. It was completely fireproof. "Only took ten years..." She mumbled, knocking the top of her new piece with her fist to hear the satisfying noise of her finished product. Although, Saga's hackles were up the moment Iona, her dragon, perked up to listen. All fell quiet for every second she listened to what might be outside, before snarling a bit. She then went behind her human and pushed her towards the rest of her armor and weapons, displayed on her armor rack. "What? Is it a rabid bear?" The poor woman rambled in confusion, following her dragon's wishes, and buckling on every piece she needed, as well as the quiver of arrows, her bow and a dagger. It wasn't much, but she was indeed a good shot. Once she was ready, it didn't take but half a second to be thrown onto her steed's back and bursting out of her cabin. Iona then found one of the entrances into her premade tunnels, and jumped straight in... With such camouflage, it didn't take long to arrive right where the noise was heard. "A poacher... He caught a male dusk cutter, he's too calm... Perhaps the dragon was drugged..." She whispered to the nightfury peeking out of the tunnel as well. She then drew her bow from her back, as well as her obsidian tipped arrows, and drew it back, quiet as a mouse. The scales gave her perfect night camouflage, as well as around the volcanic sand. She took in a steady breath, then fired her arrow. She didn't have much to work with from the side, but her arrow struck true, right into his thigh. She could only hope Tyr would guide her fight to victory. . (edited)

Now, this dark figure jumped out of the hole, drew another arrow and prepared for a fight, unafraid of fire nor the dragon. If the dusk cutter were to attack her, he'd be faced with the offspring of lightning and death itself. SHE was a real opponent.

Soren looks around and listens. His breathing was calm as he hums “maybe it was no-“ a scream hits him as a arrow hits his thigh. He goes to one knee and he looks around. Fun jumps infront of the male and growls. Soren cusses before breaking the arrow and quickly grabbing his sworD. He whistles and din growls and hisses at the two. Soren looks at the girl then the nightfury. “Fuck.” He whimpers before thinking. They should run. They should leave. He bites his lip and growls “WHO SHOOTS SOEMONE WITHOUT WARMING!” He yells “ I AM NOT A HADM TO YOU!” He raises his hands still hiding behind din. “We can leave! We are just resting.. be flying since sunrise..” he says as he slowly walks around. Fun lowers and growls “he won’t hurt you or that nightfury…we both won’t…why don’t we just lower the bow..” his leg was bleeding but he could deal with that later. “Please..” his voice was kind and calm. “I won’t hurt you…” he says softly as he drops the sword and kicks it away. Din growls and calls to Soren. “I know bud…but just because this lady is protecting herself and her friend doesn’t me we attack..” the dragon seems to be mad at that. Soren bites his lip. “How about you lower that and we talk…ok? Deal?” He says softly as he stands. Close enough to his dragon if they had to fly they could. His heart was pounding. His eyes watching the women. Din growls as his eyes slit and he bares his teeth at the night fury. Soren calls with a whistle to din to knock that off. Soren didn’t know what this women wanted. He wouldn’t let her take din. They would fight but they didn’t want too. Din was larger than the fury but the fury was stronger. The two looks at the female and din coos. Soren nods and says “look,..we didn’t know this island was inhabited..we can leave and just leave you alone..” Soren says and moves to get into din. His leg limping and in pain. @giyuumium

It had been a legitimate decade since Saga had a real conversation with a real person... Talking to a dragon proved to be much different than to a man. The helmet was a wonderful tool, but it got in the way of her close ranged battle. One upgrade to make. So, she tore the helmet off and tossed it aside, taking a couple steps back and hissed at the dragon in front of her the moment she was threatened. "YOU ARE A POACHER! ON MY SOIL!" Her speech was definitely more choppy now... Perhaps in time she'll get more comfortable, if he even stayed that long. With each sentence, however, the intruder grew more gentle, and approachable, yet how could she trust him? Such a tactic was used on her before, numerous times, to try and get her home against her will... He didn't look like he worked for her father, though. "No, NO step back!" She snapped, drawing the arrow back further when the intruder got too close, which wasn't that close at all... Why didn't she just kill him?? "I can't trust you..." Once he dropped his sword, Saga instantly had an idea. "Pick it up, and give it to Iona. Give up your sword and I'll lower my bow." She commanded, motioning with her drawn arrow towards the blade. "Do it, or else I'll kill you. I don't believe you're not a poacher yet..." The nightfury was more than irritated by the dusk cutter threatening her, she could take him in a fight and win any day! She snarled back, bearing her teeth and allowing a miniscule amount of glowing and lightning to flicker across her scales. Saga then clicked her tongue a couple times to command her steed to back off. Solburg sighed, loosening her arrow on the string slowly but surely. "You can't leave... Your leg will get infected, then must be amputated. Thigh is the most dangerous place. You must stay, and I'll treat you... Will stop infection and take pain day by day." (edited)

Soren looks at him and his eyes widen. She thought he was a poacher….he bites his cheek and takes a deep breathe. He holds his hand up as he reaches down and grabs the sword. He closes the sword into its hilt before tossing it towards the two. He keeps his hands up as he looks at her. “I am not a poacher….this is my dragon din…he is a stormcutter…we ride together…i am not a poacher.” He looks at her. She was right. His leg might get infected…if that happened he might as well let din go because he wouldn’t be able to fly. He looks down at his leg and his blood was coating the pants. He sighs as he looks at her. He looks at din and whistles. Din growls before lowering his body and laying onto the sand. Din growls and grumbles but Soren didnt mind that. “See…he wont hurt you…please…just lower the bow…i am sorry we scared you..” he says softly. He reaches up and takes of his helm. His brown hair flopping out and he looks at her. His brown eyes watching her. He had a few scars on his face. His eyebrow, his lip and a few on his chin. He didnt look at her with any emotion of hate or anger. He stands there and his leg was starting to hurt. He gulps as he leans more on his un injuried leg. “Can…can i sit…my leg is really hurting…”

With caution, the pitch black dragon slowly treads over and takes the sword into her mouth, turning around and throwing it into her tunnel system... It'd be secure in there until her partner decided to give it back. Keeping an enemy unarmed, even if they present as having good intentions, is the only way to live. After all, their own people turned against them. They knew the pains of false trust. She huffed, although, relaxing now he had no weapon... Unless, like her, he had a second one somewhere. After all, she only agreed to the bow. So, keeping her word, she slid her arrow back into the quiver, her bow back on her back, and drew her dagger. "Do you work for anyone? Is a man named Hermund Solburg paying you? How did you find my land?" The woman began to question, standing up on her feet and getting into a secure stance. No matter his condolence to her fear, she wasn't letting her guard down against a fight. "Yes, sit down now... I'll get supplies to wrap your leg. If you or your dragon moves in my direction, Iona will kill you. Don't question her, she's the most feared dragon for a reason..." She grumbled, before jogging out of sight towards her cabin. There, she gathered cotton gauge, glue from her dragon's saliva, an herb blend to reduce pain, and alcohol to clean the wound. Saga ran back over with her equipment, kneeling down by the man and tearing off the part of his pants above his wound. First she cleaned, then she rubbed the herbs in and around the wound, then wrapped and glued the cotton gauge around it. It was a simple process, but important to her enough to do. "There... I'll set you up a tent outside, or you can use a nearby cave... I'll help you heal, keep you fed and warm. Soon, I'll let you sleep in my home. Do not make me regret this." (edited)

Soren shakes his head “no..i dont know who that is..we were traveling. Been flying all morning..i wanted to give this boy a chance to rest…we were jsut flying this direction so i didnt know you were here..” he says before he finally sighs as he sits down and groans at the pain. Din coos softly as he moves towards Soren. He sighs softly as the human pet the dragon. “It is ok bud..” he says before looking back at her. He lets her treat his wound. He watches her and so was din. He watches her with silted eyes. “Din..stop that.” He says as he lightly thunks the dragon. The four winged creature growls at Soren and moves away. “Sorry…he is a big baby..” he smiles as she speaks. he nods “of course..thank you…for not killing me and leaving this one by himself..” he says as he looks at her. His eyes move to the night fury. “She is beautiful…never seen one like that…i have actually never seen a night fury…” he says as he smiles. He looks at the creature and senses that she doesn’t like him. “She is very powerful…you ride her?” He asks as he touches the bandages. “Thank you for this..” he says as he stretches and moves to stand. “You dont have to set up a tent..i have my own..” he says as he moves to din and takes out a roll. “Tent, bedroom and rain cover..all in one!” He smiles as he sets it down. “I am going to take of his saddle…he needs to rest without it..” he smiles before moving things off of din’s back. The saddle comes of and din shakes. The dragon coos and Soren says “can he take a flight…jsut to stretch his body? Your friend can join him..he wont hurt her.” His eyes were calm and welcoming. He didnt want her to feel threatened by him or din. The two were really harmless. Din wouldn’t hurt the dragon or the women without Soren’s permission. The two were bonded in that way. It was like the two were brothers. They were close and they loved each other

Strangely, even though her previous actions proved her distrust, she believed him. Her father's hired men made it known who they worked under. Although if they got smarter, she'd take care of it once she found out. "I believe you... Do not worry about how your dragon stares. Mine did that to me, and she is doing the same to you." She replied with a calm voice, still dressed neck to toe in her armor... Only reason she was even visible was talking off her helmet earlier, otherwise, she'd blend right in to her surroundings. "Iona is a dear as well... We just don't trust you just yet." The woman turned to gaze at the nightfury, slightly shimmering in the moonlight, just as the sand was. The only visible part of her was her blue eyes, and slit pupils. "Yes, I do... I don't know why, but her kind is diminishing every year. It's not a surprise you haven't seen one." Saga replied, sitting down in a more comfortable position. "I need to find her a mate. Otherwise they might never repopulate." She set her sights now on the dusk cutter laying in the sand, in unwilling submission, and nodded. "Yes, he may. Maybe he and Iona will get along spending some time in the sky." One tongue click, pause, then three. Immediately the sequence let the dragon know to go flying. Sometimes it was easier than just speaking. (edited)

Soren looks at her and nods. Soren calls to din and din shakes before taking off. His four wings spreading wide as he takes flight. Soren watches the dragon and smiles. He sits on the ground next to his things and says “they a re amazing..”he says softly as he smiles. Soren sighs before looking back at him and nods. “I haven’t seen on…but if i come across on once we split i will send them here..” he smiles before grabbing his stuff and looking though it. “Where do you want me to set up? I can get everything ready for the night..” he says. If she lead him to the area that she wanted him to set up he would. He put up his tent and sleeping area before setting everything near his tent. The saddle and all the bags. It was obvious that he carried everything with him. He doesnt have a home. Soren sits and sighs as he closes his eyes and falls back onto the sand. The cool sand was nice. He would need to change and clean up. He was dirty and didnt want the women to think he was dirty. The male lays on the ground and hums lightly “how did you get out here? This is a hidden area..” he says as he lays there. His eyes still closed. In the air din flies around and stretches his wings. Soren knew he liked to fly without all the weight. If Soren could he would make sure that din never had to carry another bag..but the bags were their life. Their food, wood, fire, sleeping bag. Everything. It was their life.

The night fury blended in perfectly with the night sky, her scales sparkling like the stars she flew under. Although the dusk cutter was a nice dark color as well, the fading light purple and blue accents didn't serve him well in night time camouflage. This was definitely her time to show off the beauty of her species. First, just by shooting plasma out into the sky and flying through the fire for fun, tucking in her wings and spinning as she did so. She definitely lived for drama. The rider, watching her dragon, sat down by the man and sighed. His question was definitely not going to be the easiest to answer. "My story is a long one, maybe minimal information will answer your question. My name is Saga Solburg, the banished daughter to Hermund Solburg, and the rightful heir to Elio. I made my way here because all I could do was keep sailing and flying East until I found somewhere to live. I've been here for ten years. My father has fallen ill, and has been trying to track me down to make amends and become the chieftess if his life was to end." She rambled, avoiding eye contact the entire time she spoke. It wasn't every day she confessed her life's biggest loss to a total stranger.

Soren looks at her and then to the dragons. He sighs softly and nods “i am sorry…i can guess that would be hard…” he looks at the dragons and din flies up and falls back before catching himself. He would fly around before landing and rolling in the sand. Soren chuckles at the dragon and sighs “i am sorry for..coming here…i really didnt know someone lived here…we have been flying and just this was the land we first saw…it is a very interesting place..your armor helps you blend in..just like mine..” eh shows her. “Do you fly long distances? We are normads so we fly everywhere…din is pretty strong to hold all of our stuff..” he smiles at her as din moves closer and lays infront of Soren. Soren would reach up and pets din. “Good dragon din..” he says softly and just pets the dragon. The giant creature seemed to relax and hums softly as he closes his eyes and seems to sleep. Soren jsut sits there and relaxed. Soren closed his eyes and sighs as he groans softly. His leg was hurting. He tries to move it to make it alittle more comfortable

"Don't apologize, you did nothing wrong." The woman replied in a soft tone, setting her gaze on the sky above, where her dragon summoned lightning around her, before disappearing in thin air. An ability all nightfuries possessed, which just gave every Viking another reason to fear dragons. Well, at an unbiased view, it's understandable why it would be a little terrifying. "You landed on my island for refuge, you didn't know I was here, so there's no reason to feel sorry." Saga shook her head to his question, wrapping her arms around her tucked legs. "No, I don't. Iona isn't built for long distance flying. She's fast and blends in well, but journeys like that just aren't something she can manage. That's why we've been here for so long. There's nothing around, nowhere to go." She replied, stretching her legs back out, and leaning back on her arms. "I'm unbothered. The land provides what I need, I don't need to go anywhere else. Not for a long time."
