Hunter's POV:
--------------------
Uh! I can't believe I'm doing this. Now I'M riding a dragon when I'm not supposed to. Got to admit. This girls pretty cool though. Well, I think the dragons a she. I hang on tight, really praying to Odin this Duskclaw doesn't stick it's back spikes up any time soon.
I need to find Eylimi. I don't care if she likes me or not I like her and there's nothing she can do about it. Me and the Duskclaw flew over Berk for hours. She wasn't anywhere to be seen. I slowly glide over the ice fields. This is the ice left over from what Hiccup calls a bewilderbeast from years ago. The ice never melted.
I sigh, beggining to think I should give up. Then suddenly I heard a small cry. I looked down to see Cloudjumoer below, under an ice spike. I fly down were my dragon lands and I quickly slide off. Slowly I approach the entrance of the ice cave. There, in the corner, sits Eylimi. Knees to her chest and head in her hands, sobbing away. I took a deep breath and walked over to her.
"Eylimi?" I whispered, taking a seat next to her, facing the wall in front of us. She didn't say anything. She sniffed and looked up to me. A tear ran down her cheek. She wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tight, crying into my shoulder. I put my arms back around her and rested my head on hers. We stayed like that for a while.
"They are never going to accept me again." She sobbed. I didn't know what to say.
"You're the next heir. I'm sure they will." I comforted.
"My dad hates me. No one loves me." She cried. Clearly she is really worried.
"I do." I responded. She sniffed and I felt her smile. She rested her head on my shoulder and I held her against me. The dragons waited at the entrance. Both with sad faces for Eylimi. I heard a yell.
"EYLIMI!" I heard the chief, flying over on Toothless

"HUNTER!" I heard my dad call. I looked down to Eylimi who looked scared.
"I'm not going out there." She stated.
"Eylimi. We have to go back." I told her. She sighed. Then she sat up and looked at the floor for a second before looking at me.
"No we don't." She said strongly, still whispering so they wouldn't here us.
"What?" I asked.
"I don't have to go back. No. I'm not going back." She made clear.
"Eylimi..." I began.
"I'll fly away. Away from Berk. Away from laws. Away from everyone." She smiled, in a sad way though.
"But..." I was going to try and stop her.
"No Hunter. I'm going. I can't stay here. And nothing you can do is going to stop me." She whispered, standing up and wiping away a tear. She was about to walk out of the cave. I couldn't take this. I'm not losing her. It's not happening. I don't care what I have to do.
"You're not going." I said sternly.
"Yes I am!" She answered, still trying to stop her sobbing.
"No, we are." I told her. She turned around to face me. She had a shocked look.
"No, you have a life here. Everything is here for you." She stated.
"Not you." I responded.
"Hunter you..." I cut her off as I grabbed her and kissed her. I pulled apart and looked into her blue eyes.
"I'm coming."
--------------------
Hiccup's POV:
--------------------
"Hiccup, we have searched all of Berk." Eret stated.
"NO! We keep looking!" I ordered.
"Hiccup, it's late. We need to head back." He responded. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Good thing my helmet was on. I sighed and turned Toothless around.
----One Week Later----
"EYLIMI!" Astrid shouted for the last time before she completely lost her voice. We have searched every island, every tribe. For a whole week. I heard Astrid sob as she lent her head on my shoulder and cried.
----One Month Later----
"Hiccup. We need to call of the search. We just need to have faith they will come back." Mum told me. "Berk is falling apart without you." She stated.

"NO!" I screamed as I kicked over a chair. I sat down on the one beside it with my head in my hands.
----Six Months Later----
"Let the Dragon Races Begin!" I shouted as the four teenagers took off on their dragons. Vidgrip on his Sandwraith, Quicksand. The twins on their red Zippleback, Sneeze and Yawn, and Mudskip on his Snafflefang, Limp. They shot past as the crowd cheered. I took a deep breath and sighed. I took a seat and Astrid took hold of my hand. If only Eylimi was here.
----One Year Later----
Strange things have been happening here. The ocean froze completely solid this winter. It shouldn't be doing that. The weather has been colder and for some reason the ice field has increased in size. How is that even possible?
--------------------
Eylimi's POV:
--------------------
"WOOHOO!" I yelled as Cloudjumper dived. I saw the forest below. He pulled up at the last second and skimmed across the trees. The snow on top of them fell off. The land bridge was up ahead. Cloudjumper flung me up as I flew over it and he continued flying underneath. I fell and landed back on him as he flew out from underneath. I stood up and put my arms out to the sides.
"YEAH!" I heard as suddenly Firedrop shot over me. Making a gust of wind hit me. The dragon flew up, spinning. Before I knew it, it was out of sight. I looked around until I noticed the dragon right above me. "Morning." Hunter smiled. I smiled back, wrinkling my nose and poking out my tongue. "Game on!" He yelled as the dragon flew ahead. I followed the Duskclaw close behind as we dove threw caves and tunnels, threw the mountain. We flew up to the clouds where all gravity was lost for a moment as the dragons stopped and began falling back towards the land.
"Haha! YEAH!" I laughed as I jumped off Cloudjumper and so did Hunter. We began falling, chest first towards the land far below as the dragons dived beside us. I locked hands with him as we began spinning, slowly down. I smiled at him and he laughed back.
He let go and hopped back on the saddle. I did the same, landing on Cloudjumper. Both dragons pulled up as we slowly glided back towards the land. We landed in the thick snow near the cave. I slid off my dragon, landing, deep in the snow, way past my ankles.
"Now THAT was fun." Hunter smiled, fixing his hair as he patted his dragon. "Good girl." He praised her.
"It's so cold." I complained.
"To you, it's always cold." He answered. I gave him a sarcastic look. "Fine, lets head in." He said, making his way towards the cave. We have lived out here for a year and a half now. I'm really glad we have. Berk wasn't my place anymore. People probably thought I was dead.
"This is the strongest winter I think I have ever seen." I commented as Cloudjumper lit the fire wood in the middle of the cave. Me and Hunter found this place. Far, far away from Berk. It was hidden in this icy cavern.
There are these huge ice walls surrounding this garden below us. There are a few dragons here actually. We found this cave here. It looks over the gardens. I think someone may have lived here before. There were baskets and supplies, weapons and a bunch of other stuff. Cloudjumper seemed to find this place easily. It's like he knew where he was going. Me and Hunter have survived easily here for ages. I'm actually starting to enjoy being with just him.
"Hungry?" He asked, coming over with some cooked fish.
"Thanks." I said, taking it. We sat on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the green heaven below us. "Do you think we will just stay here forever?" I started a conversation. "Grow old." I giggled.
"Maybe." He responded.
"I love you." I whispered and lent my head on his shoulder.
"I love you too." He answered, wrapping an arm around me.

[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Photo by Mae Mu on Unsplash -------------------------- This is my first story on Royal Road and my first attempt in general at writing Xianxia. As such I expect that it will need a lot of polish to get it to its final form, but for now I hope to keep up with NaNoWriMo and get something on the page. Until then I welcome comments and constructive criticism. Thanks for reading.
