Chapter 9: The Alchemist On The Edge ( Part 2 )

The riders slowly lowered the ship in the water near the Edge's shores as the baby furies looked at the island with curiosity. After they finished lowering the ship into the water, Saga backflipped off Tesla and landed on the ship's deck on her feet, Snotlout and Tuffnut's jaws dropped while the other riders had impressed expressions on their faces.

Saga then dropped the ship's anchor into the water before looking up at the riders.

Saga: You're good to let go of the ropes now!

Once they landed on the island and once Saga pulled out the connecting plank to allow her to join the other riders on land, Tesla quickly went onto the ship to his below deck, taking the eggs and baby furies with her.

Saga: ( to Hiccup and the gang: ) Yeah, you might have to get used to that.

Hiccup: Yeah... Anyway, Welcome to Dragon's Edge! We might have to have you stay at the clubhouse while we figure out where to put your hut.

Saga wasn't fully paying attention to what Hiccup was saying as she looks at her surroundings with curiosity and a smile.

Saga: Interesting...

Tuffnut: If you think the island's interesting, what tell you see the Dragon Eye.

That got Saga's attention as she quickly turned her head to the riders.

Saga: The what?

Snotlout: It's just some dumb artifact that Hiccup found on a ship the hunters want.

Fishlegs: That " dumb artifact " provides vast knowledge about dragons-

Saga: ( excitedly: ) CAN I SEE IT?!

The riders shared a surprised look to see the alchemist's excitement.

( A few later, at the clubhouse )

Saga watched in amazement as Hiccup and Toothless activated the Dragon Eye to project an image on the wall in front of the alchemist.


( A/n: I don't own the image )

Saga: Oh my... This is... AMAZING!

Hiccup: and that's just the half of it.

Saga then looked at the crest that was in the middle of the projection with slight confusion, as the crest looked familiar to her, which the riders noticed.

Astrid: Are you okay, Saga?

Saga: Yeah, I'm fine. It's just something about this crest looks familiar...

Snotlout: Probably because it's from the Dragon hunters? They paint it on the sails of their ships. You even painted over the symbol on the sail of the hunter ship you stole, remember?

Saga: Yeah... That's probably it. Sorry, it's just. This ( gestures to the Dragon Eye ) has to be the most advanced thing that involves the hunters I've ever seen. ( Honestly: ) It's a miracle that Ryker and his little friends aren't after you guys.

Hiccup and the gang shared a look of shock when Saga mentioned Ryker.

Saga: I mean, he has been chasing after me and Tesla, and even has had some deranged crazy man search for us ever since he caught glimpse of me on the fifth ship I raided...or was it the sixth? I can never fully remember, all their ships look the same...

Hiccup: Wait, you met Ryker and Dagur?

Saga: Ryker, yes. The second one, I don't know who that is...

Astrid: The deranged crazy man.

Saga: Ooh. Then yes on both, Ryker has been trying to capture me for years now, but for some reason he always threatens his men that if they actually hurt me, he would have their heads on spikes. No clue why though. I mean, yeah, I raided a lot of their ships, stolen a bunch of metal from them, stole a sword or two from Ryker, may have tested some of my alchemy bombs on them a couple of times...

As Saga was rambling on about the stuff she did to the hunters, the riders turned to each other to talk.

Astrid: Is it just me, or should we be worried as to why Ryker is after Saga?

Fishlegs: Well, we did see what she did to that net launcher, maybe the hunters want to use her to upgrade their weaponry.

Tuffnut: What if they are related and she doesn't know it?

Ruffnut: And the reason Ryker has been after her, is to get her back?

Snotlout, Hiccup, Astrid, and Fishlegs looked at the twins as if they had went insane.

Snotlout: ( to the twins: ) You two are joking, right? Her? ( Gestures to Saga, who was still rambling without knowing that they weren't listening ) Being related to a hunter? No way.

Astrid: Yeah. I have to agree with Snotlout. Saga looks like she couldn't even hurt a fly, or be able to.

Hiccup: Whatever the reason is, we're going to make sure the hunters don't get their hands on her.

Saga: ( is still rambling on: )...and would sometimes get some of his men to tell me the locations of where their ships with the night fury eggs are with a truth serum I created, but it ain't my fault they keep falling for the cookie trick!

The riders gave Saga confused looks to what she said, and in response, she looked at them confused.

Saga: What?

( Later that night, at Saga's ship )

Saga was below deck, which she had removed the cell doors and turned one of the cells into a room for Tesla's nest which where the night fury eggs were in. Tesla was asleep in the nest with the eggs and the baby furies, who were also fast asleep. Saga hanged a glowing blue crystal lantern onto the ceiling and smiled at her dragons, then turned her head when she heard a small creak to see Toothless and Hiccup, the night fury was trying to sneak his way to see the baby furies and the eggs while the riders was trying to stop the dragon. Saga chuckled before she walked away from the sleeping flightmare's nest and led the adult night fury and his rider back onto the deck, to see that Astrid and her Nadder Stormfly were waiting outside.

Hiccup: ( to Saga: ) Sorry, I-I tried telling him that Tesla didn't want us near the eggs, but he didn't seem to listen.

Astrid: Sounds familiar.

Saga: ( pets Toothless's head ) It's alright, I get it. It must have been a very long time since he had seen other night furies.

Stormfly then began sniffing at Saga, who just smiled at the Nadder.

Saga: ( to Hiccup and Astrid: ) She must smell the baby furies' scents on me.

Hiccup: Speaking of the eggs, when do you think the rest of the eggs are going to hatch?

Saga: I have no clue. There's not really any information on the incubation time period of night furies. So, Tesla and I treat each day like we're going to have a new arrival. But don't worry, the eggs don't go boom.

Both Hiccup and Astrid let out a sigh in relief to hearing that the eggs won't explode, making Saga laugh.

( Meanwhile, with the night fury eggs )

One of the night fury eggs shook slightly, indicating that it might hatch soon.
