Eylimi's POV:
--------------------
"COME ON EYLIMI!" I heard Valka yell from below.
"Alright. This time. This time, for sure!" I muttered to myself. I quickly ran down Cloudjumpers back while he continued gliding and hung onto his tail. As I grabbed the end he lost all mussel control and began falling towards the land. I loosened my grip and he continued flying before we hit the ground. He flicked me back up to land on his neck as he glided down to Valka. I slid off and got my balancing back.
"Yeah! That was good. I can't believe you actually figured something new out about him. I didn't even know that." She smiled putting an arm around me. I was practicing flying as Valka told me tricks to stay on. I slipped and fell back to his tail and he became floppy as we fell into the lake. Ever since then Valka and I have been trying to perfect a way to do it.
"I wonder if there is anything else cool about them?" I wondered.
----time skip----
Valka is having a rest today. But today I'm back to dragon training with the others. We have both agreed never to speak of me flying a dragon. Who knows what dad would be like. Him and his overprotectiveness. I'm surprised if I ever get a boyfriend with him constantly watching me. I wander down to the arena where I see mum already standing there. She waved up. I look above me to see Toothless zoom over us. Dad must be back from the sheep problem over at mildews place. That guy is so grumpy, no wonder why he is on the other side of the island.
"Alright. Gang into the arena!" She ordered us as we walked in. For some reason she stayed outside. She looked down to us from the cage like top.
"Why did you lock the gate?" Viko asked.
"So Seaskipper doesn't get out." She smiled. We all turned behind us to see a Scauldron standing ahead.
"Oh Thor." I mutter as everyone started scattering around.
"VIDGRIP!" Vika yelled tossing him a spear. Why are they holding so many weapons. Are they trying to kill the thing?
"So babe. Incase this is...." Vidgrip began.
"The last words you speak?" I finished his sentence and rolled as the Scauldron shot at him. Steam rose where the boiling water evaporated.
"Ahhhhh!" Viko yelled charging at it the same time as Vika. They both ran into each other and hit heads.
"Hey! It was my go!" Vika complained.
"No it was mine!" He yelled back. They began fighting when suddenly I saw the Scauldron getting ready to shoot again. I reached out my staff and tripped them over as it shot. The boiling water glided through the air above the twins now on the ground. They quickly ran around hiding behind a log fence.

"I'm out!" Mudskipper yelled joining them.
"Hehe. Okay..." Hunter laughed nervously and charged at the Scauldron running up its neck. He grabbed it's head and clamped it shut so it couldn't shoot anymore. The dragon stood up and looked at him above it. It growled and shook Hunter off. He landed on the floor.
"Grrrrrrr!" The Scauldron looked at me. Not good. It began hopping towards me and a ran for life around the arena. Before it cornered me I slid under its leg and jumped on its back. It went to bite me but I leaped. I accidentally landed on Hunter. My bow was hooked around his neck and my leg was caught around his. I tried to get up but I was stuck and so was he.
"Ow, ow, why don't you, ow!" He muttered as I tried untangling us.
"You thinking what I'm thinking." Vika whispered to Viko.
"Haha most likely." He laughed inappropriately. I unhooked us and I stood up. I saw the Scauldron going to shoot again. I went to run but still somehow his leg was caught around mine. I tripped and fell.
"EYLIMI!" Mum said about to run through the gates as I saw the Scauldron going to shoot at me and Hunter. I saw its tail next to me. I grabbed it. The Scauldron looked at me for a second with an angry face as mum opened the gates to save me. I hugged the end of it hard and suddenly the Scauldron collapsed. The head landing next to Hunter and he tried to roll away but he was still stuck to me. Mum stopped in her tracks and stared at me. The others dropped their weapons looking at me with wide eyes. I let go of the Scauldrons tail as the Scauldron sat up and smiled at me. It nudged me and I pat its nose.
"Okay? So are we done? I've got some stuff I gotta, yep. Be back tomorrow." I said cutting the lace tied to Hunter from my shoe with a single touch of the end of my staff. As I walked out the Scauldron followed. I told it to stay there and it wandered back in as I continued walking. I heard no noise from the others as I left.
----time skip----
I walked down to the forest where I saw Cloudjumper waiting for me. He pricked his head up and wandered over to me.
"Hey buddy." I smiled as he copied. I saw his huge white teeth. One of them didn't look to good though. I noticed it was in bad shape. "Hold on I'll be right back." I told him as I ran to the forge to grab one of the dragon teeth Gobber makes. I found the perfect one sitting at the bottom of the basket with the rest. "Ha! Ya beauty!" I smiled as I left, back to find Cloudjumper. "Hey where did you..." I begin, to find him hanging from a tree with his claw in his mouth. That tooth must be really hurting. He came over to me and opened his mouth. Clearly he just wanted it over with. How am I going to do this? I looked at my staff to notice lots of little nobs on the end. I clamped to tooth between two of them and without even a pull it just fell right out.

"Grrr." Cloudjumper complained. I quickly replaced the spot with the new tooth. Hammering it in there
"There you go." I smiled. As I went to take my staff back it hit one of his other teeth and he smiled.
"Grrrr?" He purred. I brushed the tooth again with the end of the staff and he Continued to purr. Dragons like their teeth brushed? Cool. He stood their keeping his mouth open waiting for me to continue. I rolled my eyes.
----time skip----
"Ahhhhhh!" Hunter yelled charging at the whispering death coming towards me. I dropped my bow and it stopped to wonder what I was doing for a second. It heard the others coming towards it with rope to tie it down to force it to listen. I quickly started rubbing the staff against its teeth and it smiled. Dragons really do like their teeth being brushed. He collapsed to the floor enjoying it while Hunter froze in front of me holding the rope above his head.
----time skip----
"Come on!" I yelled as Cloudjumper dove down from the highest mountain in Berk. Suddenly he stopped half way and hovered in the air. "What are you..." I began but he turned to enter a tunnel in the side of the mountain. It was dark but somehow he knew where he was going. We entered a cave. It was glowing with glow worms in all corners of the room. He looked at the glow worms and started wagging his tail at them. Dragons like glow worms?
----time skip----
The Raincutter bolted towards me with its long neck stretched ready to shoot a blast. The others tried calling it over with lit torches attracting it to the fire but it kept running at me. I took my staff and swung it around once. I hit it on the ground and the rattles echoed through the arena. The dragon stopped and looked at me angrily for a second. The others continued yelling at it to come but it kept its focus on the small bag I have hanging around my skirt. I took it off my and pored its contents on the floor. The glow worms slid over each other as the dragons head dropped to take a closer look at them. It was memorised and hypnotised by their glowing colour. The others looked at me in shock and then started cheering. At the end of the lesson I began walking across the bridge but was constantly bother by them.
"How did you do that?" Mudskip asked.
"I never knew dragons were attracted to glow worms." Vidgrip stated.
"I've never seen a Raincutter do that." Viko complemented.
"Ah, I left my bag back there. You guys go on. I'll be back later." I said walking away. I walked past the arena completely missing it when I bumped into Hunter. "Umph, uh, sorry." I muttered still not looking up to him.
"No problem." He smiled. I smiled back and put my fringe behind my ear.
"Uh, I gotta go." I finished and continued walking. I didn't look back but I noticed he hadn't moved from that spot as I didn't hear him walking away.
----time skip----
"Hahahaha! Yeah!" I laughed as me and Cloudjumper raced over the mountains. We flew through different tunnels as I stood on his back and shot at the targets I set up. As we began to approach each target I grabbed another arrow and aimed to where it was. Just as we past I shot. It hit each target making the sound echo through the cave. We came out the other side and back into the sunlight. "Amazing!" I shouted into the never ending sky.
"Grrrrawwwww!" Cloudjumper yelled after suddenly I fell back and hit a specific spot on his neck. He began plummeting towards the land.
"Ahhhh! Cloudjumper wake up!" I yelled but he was still knocked out in a way. I thought of hitting him on the head with the staff but instead I shook it. Suddenly he heard the noise and pulled up. We skid across the top of the trees. "Ahhhhh! I yelled as I held my staff in one hand and held on to one of his neck flaps with the other. There was a large tree coming our was and Cloudjumper couldn't decide whether to go left or right.
"Left! LEFT YOU FOOL!" I yelled at him and pointed that direction with the staff. He heard the rattles in the end again and turned the way the noise came. We slowed down and I thought about what just happened. I shook the staff on the right to test and he turned right.
----time skip----
"Meet the Smokebreath!" Mum introduced as a tiny dragon ran out of its cage and stared at us.
"Ha! It's like the size of my.... Ahhhhhh! Get it off!" Viko yelled as the dragon tried snatching everything metal off him. After all a Smokebreaths purpose is to build a nest out of metallic objects. Vika laughed while Vidgrip pulled the tiny dragon off him. The dragon growled ready to attack again but I shook the staff and it followed the noise. It followed its way back into the cage. I looked up and smiled at everyone. They all looked at me with strange faces. Hunter gave me a smile.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

A Mildly Odd Reality Breaker
Omar receives an unexpected visitor who comes baring a gift—a "registration ticket"—in the form of a small metal card. The ticket is itself an offer to participate in the game, "Reality Break." Accepting this offer means that Omar will be able to perceive the true nature of reality where there is not one, but two dimensions of time, and in this second dimension history changes (and somewhat "frequently"). Along with this, he will also gain access to the "chronopause"; another reality that is not so much parallel to our own as it is perpendicular, which acts as both a place and the natural boundary between non-sequential points on the timeline. Using the chronopause, Omar will become a chrononaut with the ability to travel through time, and as a player, he will be given a cybernetic interface and his own portable extradimensional storage space. It's a strange conversation, but due to Omar's dismally short attention span, he only consciously hears that last bit about the portable pocket space, and that's only after the physics-defying void is opened in his living room and literally waved in front of his face. Reality is certainly stranger than most people realize, but then again, so is Omar. Thankfully, he responds well to shiny things, and for better or for worse, his chronic inattentiveness is the least of his psychological issues. Omar also has a mild form of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which presents itself as an occasional, arbitrary need to disobey others (especially authority figures). However, his oddest psychological issue by far is his "abnormally hyperactive" subconscious mind. Outwardly and consciously, Omar is a lazy, apathetic man-child prone to mildly asinine behavior. Subconsciously, he's some sort of genius capable of extraordinary feats of cognition. Most of the time, Omar is a (technically) functioning adult, but in order to live as such, he must rely entirely upon unusual abilities he's completely unaware of, despite the fact that he uses them regularly. Up until now, his life had merely been ridiculous, but now it was also a game. Note: The narrative style is that of a reliable narrator with a "3rd-person sarcastic" POV. This story takes place in the Reality Breakers/Chronopause universe.
