Intro
In the past two years, Eret's life had changed beyond recognition. Previously he served under other trappers like the ‘Night Fury Killer’ Grimmel the Grisly, and ruthless warlord Drago Bludvist, capturing and selling countless dragons until Astrid’s saved his life, causing him to switch sides. From there, Eret became a resident of New Berk and member of the Hooligan tribe led by Chief Hiccup who he eventually became the right hand of. Surprisingly, the other Berkians accepted him despite his questionable past, but it took time. He slowly proved himself a changed man to Berk’s Vikings/Dragon trappers by always lending a helping hand when he could. Eret even inherited Skullcrusher, the mighty dragon of the former chief- Hiccup’s father, after his death. Currently, Eret was making his final round flying solo over an unexplored island on Skullcrusher’s back, searching for more dragons to bring back to Berk as Hiccup’s dream was global human and dragon co-existence. Eret was just about to head home as he’d been out here all day with no luck when the massive Rumblehorn snorted sharply, wings twitching with sudden alertness. Eret frowned. “What is it, bud?”
The dragon rumbled again, more insistent this time before sharply diving toward the forest below, Eret tightining his grip on the saddle automatically. “Alright, alright! I trust you!” Branches and leaves crunched beneath Skullcrusher’s heavy landing as the Rumblehorn sniffed the air intensely and Eret slid from the saddle, unsheathing both swords from his back out of ex-trapper instinct. He then followed Skullcrusher through the forest that was eerily quiet save for the faint sound of something struggling deeper within. Eret’s large hands pushed aside various brush in his way until—he froze. Caught beneath old nets tangled around rusted iron stakes in the clearing was a dragon that seemed to only exist in Hiccup’s stories. A Night Light. The adolescent hybrid twisted violently against the trap, scales flashing black and white beneath broken streaks of dusk filtering through the trees. Her wide, heterochromic, blue and green eyes darted wildly toward him, terrified and defensive all at once as she let out a sharp hiss. Eret’s breath caught in his throat.
“By the gods…” He breathed in awe, taking a cautious step closer. Night Lights were powerful heirs of Toothless that lived deep within the Hidden World. Basically dragon royalty. Yet this one was here, alone. The Night Light jerked violently again at Eret’s movement, the old ropes digging tighter into her wings, panic causing her plasma to crackle faintly behind her teeth. “Easy,” Eret soothed gently, immediately sheathing his swords. The beautiful creature only growled louder and honestly, he couldn’t blame her. He carefully crouched near the old trap, recognizing the design instantly. Abandoned trapper work. Guilt twisted sharply in his chest. There was a time he would’ve set traps exactly like this. “Let’s get you outta this thing before you tear your wings.” Eret reassured her, reaching slowly for one of the rusted poles. But as his fingers brushed against the metal, a branch cracked sharply nearby and every instinct he still carried from his trapper days ignited instantly as Skullcrusher snarled low.
