Tempest landed on the wooden docks with a heavy thud, quickly looking around before fixating on the other two vikings that had been waiting for them. She quickly sauntered over to them and sat on her haunches, looking between the two dragons in curiosity. She thought there would be more then just two people joining them on their little adventure. A little dissapointed, she offered a reptillian grin, her tail flicking in anticipation of leaving the tiny island.
Ingrid held onto the saddle on the back of her friend, though only half heartedly. She had enough experience that she'd really only fall if she purposly tried to...or if Tempest threw her off as a joke. That happened rather often. With her travel bag over her shoulder along with her bow, she looked between the other vikings before speaking, "I'm sorry for the delay, I'm ready to head out now though if this is everyone." She said, pushing back the braid with the raven feather so it wasn't in her face any longer.

"All right then." Jorgen said to his new travel companions, "Looks like we're ready to go. For now we'll just head south until we reach Rest Stop. Once we get there we can rest, and in the morning we'll plan out the route we'll be taking on this trip." Jorgen already had an idea how the trip will go, but he needed specific locations to plan it out properly. Jorgen pat Shockstorm under his frill to signal that they were going. "C'mon, this way. You'll be the first people other than me, Shock, and Sunfire to see Rest Stop so lets get going!" Jorgen called over his shoulder at Kyle and Ingrid as he and Shockstorm started flying south.
"Took you long enough!" Shockstorm said jokingly to Tempest as she and hunter-girl approached. When Jorgen pat him, Shockstorm was ready to go, he lifted off, too eager to get going to bother with an electrical display. Shockstorm didn't need any guidance from Jorgen once they were off, they had flown this route so often Shockstorm could fly to and from Rest Stop with his eyes closed! And now this journey can finally begin! Shockstorm thought to himself as they began to fly south, sparks flying off his wings from the excitement.

Ingrid nodded once, "Right...To rest stop, then onwards. Seems simple enough. Try not to get us lost along the way," She said, half serious, but with a half grin at the same time. Giving the string over her chest for her bow a quick pull to check and make sure that it was still strung properly, she rolled her shoulders loosely before patting Tempest on her scaley neck lightly. Tempest gave an affectionate little reptillian grumble before launching herself up into the sky, taking off after Shockstorm and Jorgen quickly.
Tempest had given a little reptillian laugh at Shockstorm's comment, "Well, leaving unprepared is never a good idea," She said rather matter-of-factedly to the proud Skrill. Turning her head up, she murrled at her rider before she shot up into the sky after the other dragons and riders, quick to fall in line to Shockstorm's right, so their riders could converse depending on the situation. She wasn't really up for any theatrics at the moment though, simply flying after them would be good enough for the time being.

As they flew along on their way to Rest Stop, Jorgen began to feel more calm. Now that they were on their way, he didn't find himself wondering what could go wrong as much as anticipating what they might find or discover. Jorgen could feel through the way Shockstorm was flying that he felt the same way. Jorgen looked over his shoulder and called out to Kyle and Ingrid, "So, anything you guys want to know about the world outside of Berk? Once we get to Rest Stop we'll only have time to go over the first leg of our route and then we'll need to get some sleep! The world has changed quite a bit in the last couple years...", Jorgen's voice trailed off as he remembered some unpleasant memories from his last journey.
Shockstorm was relieved to finally be flying unto the world. He had gotten so restless, normally he and Jorgen go on a trip every month. After the last trip, Shockstorm had noticed Jorgen being reluctant to go on another trip, ever. That was four months ago. However much Shockstorm wanted to go on this trip, he was worried for his human. Hopefully that won't happen with such a large group. Shockstorm thought as he flew straight for Rest Stop.

"I would like to know if England is doing OK" Kyle shouted back to Jorgen, then Kyle started remembering some of the good times he had with his family which usually relaxes him.
Whilst Darkender was flying he checked on how Kyle was doing and he sore that Kyle looked like he was relaxed so he gave him a quick slap with his ear to snap him out because he didn't want a repeat of the last couple of times

Ingrid flew silently for a few moments, just content to have her silent conversations with Tempest in a way that made most people think she was a witch, or just plain weird. She had her head bent over and a hand on Tempest's scaled neck, giving her a gentle little rub now and then. She understood that Tempest was a little nervous about the trip, and tried to comfort her the best way she could. After only a few minutes of this, she looked up and shouted out a question that was on both their minds, "We'd like to know how the mainland is doing! Any word in the past little while?"
Tempest flew uneasily, continuously glancing up at her rider or giving small twitches of her long ears. She had long since learned to understand the human language, and she was surprised at her rider's ability to understand her with almost the same ammount of fluidity. It made their companionship much easier. She was voicing her concearns as best she could without letting the other dragons know her feelings, since she had a bit of a difficult time trusting other people and dragons.

"Well as for eastern Britannica," Jorgen called over to Kyle, "I've never been there myself, but the Celtic tribes to the north have mentioned the area to me once or twice. Last I heard it was relatively peaceful, a few raids from rival tribes and the occasional rogue dragon, but nothing unusual!" Jorgen remembered the specific conversation well, the day after that same tribe tried to sacrifice him and Shockstorm to some god. Jorgen wasn't surprised when Ingrid asked about the mainland, he'd be curious about Dovangard too if he didn't know it was a pile of rubble. "Things in the mainland are chaotic. Several Roman legions have invaded Germania, but the gothic tribes are holding their own. Some land has been lost to the Romans in the south and west, but they haven't gotten through the northern tribes or the border tribes. You can tell the Romans are a serious threat when the gothic tribes stop fighting eachother and when all the dragons leave!"
Shockstorm flew along quietly, enjoying the flight. For the first time since they departed from Berk, he looked back at his companions. While Darkender flew along silently, Tempest kept twitching her ears. Shockstorm had no idea what that was about but decided not to ask. As the humans talked, Shockstorm thought back on all the adventures he has had. He had never realized this before, but he actually enjoyed the trips with Jorgen more than his solo travels when he was younger. After several hours of flight, as the sun began to sink beneath the waves, Shockstorm saw Rest Stop come into view. He let out a great throaty roar as static arced off his wings and tail. Shockstorm put on an extra burst of speed, not caring if the others kept up. Our first stop!

Kyle remembered that he wasn't allowed to relax whilst flying and then said "Thanks Darkender" then he said"OK thanks Jorgen". When Shockstorm put on an extra burst of speed he knew that they were near the Rest Stop and said" full speed Darkender"
Darkender smiled when Kyle thanked him for slapping him it made him feel apreecated even though he already knew that he was, when Kyle told him to go at full speed Darkender shot off at the topst speed a night fury could go at

Ingrid nodded after she heard this, then went back to having her silent affection with her companion as they flew on. She blinked in surprise when Shockstorm took off with speed, then gave a little grin to herself before gripping the handle of her saddle with both hands loosely, right as Tempest curled her wings up, spun in the air a good one-hundred and eighty degrees before pulling straight down in a kamikaze dive-bomb at the breakneck speeds that Night Fury's were unique for.
Tempest had decided that she wasn't going to let a Skrill or another Night Fury have the satisfaction of being faster, and she knew her rider recognized what was coming. She had no worries that Ingrid knew to hold on before she dove, and to her satisfaction, there were no worries. She dove as fast as she could, electing a long whistle as she split through the air. As she dove, she spun so they were both upright again, and pulled up very close to the surface, sending her in a slide-effect that gave her a burst of extreme speed as she glided on her long wings. Her rider didn't even slow her down in the position she was in; sending them splitting ahead of the group towards what they gathered was Rest Stop.

Shockstorm saw Darkender speeding up by him, then he noticed Tempest fly up then dive and speed ahead at high speed, even for a Fury. "So that's how you want it!" Shockstorm called out as he went to his max speed. Shockstorm knew Jorgen would feel them speeding up and grab onto the saddle handles that Jorgen had added for going at higher speeds. For extra effect, Shockstorm let static fly off his body at random, only keeping enough control to not shock Jorgen like the first time they flew together. Shockstorm wasn't surprised when Tempest beat him to Rest Stop, without lightning he's slower than most Night Furies, though he managed to stay ahead of Darkender, but only just barely. "Good race." he grunted to Tempest and Darkender before plodding over to the shack and shelter Jorgen had built about a year ago.
Jorgen felt Shockstorm speeding up and grabbed the handles before Shock reached his max speed. "It appears Shock is trying to race Tempest and Darkender!" Jorgen called jokingly over to Ingrid and Kyle. He leaned forward to streamline his body, tucking himself beneath Shockstorm's frill. When Shock landed on Rest Stop, Jorgen dismounted and started walking towards his shack. "Right this way, everybody. Welcome to Rest Stop. Once we're all situated, I'll show you guys the course that I have in mind on my map." Jorgen said as Ingrid and Kyle dismounted their furies. Jorgen felt good being back on this island, though it felt strange for him to be showing people his private retreat.

When Kyle dismounted Darkender he put his bag on the floor, opened it, pulled out a bowl and filled it with water. "There you go Darkender" Kyle said before checking on Rouge who was fast asleep, there he walked over to Jorgen to see his map.
As Kyle went to see Jorgen's map Darkender closed Kyle's bag for him, drank some of the water Kyle put out for him and then fell asleep.

Ingrid said nothing as her companion had sped up, instead keeping herself pressed to the dragon's back to reduce any air resistance. Tempest landed heavily where they were going first, and reared back before Ingrid could get off, letting out a loud roar of her pride before dropping back onto all fours and giving a draconic grin of sorts. Ingrid laughed at her partner's exclimation, then dropped off of her and patted her scaley hide with one hand. She looked around, observing the area for a few moments before she turned and quickly followed the other two to the little shack, Tempest sauntering after her closely.
Tempest looked over at Shock and beamed, "Thanks, it was a good race. Better luck next time though!" She claimed before quickly sauntering over after her companion closely, grumbling reptillianly with satisfaction from the display of speed dominance. Ingrid stopped near the entrance of the shack shelter, then turned and leaned against the outer wall on her back, crossing her arms and putting one foot flat against the wall so she was standing on one foot and leaning the rest of her body back against the shack. She watched the two males, but didn't really care to go over and look at the map. She could see and hear well enough from where she was.

Jorgen walked up to the shack's entrance and unlocked the door while Ingrid leaned against the wall and Kyle walked up from where they had landed. "Well, come on in." he said as he opened the shack's door and walked inside. He walked over to the table and pulled out his map.
Shockstorm saw Tempest sit outside the shack as Darkender curled up to sleep. "you know," Shockstorm said, though he wasn't sure if Darkender was still awake enough to hear him, "there's a shelter on the other side of the shack. It was built so that Sunfire and I could fit, and you two should be able to fit in Sunfire's spot. Its a lot better than sleeping in the open. Plus there is a window into the shack, in case you want to keep an eye on your human, Tempest." Shockstorm then led the way around, not really caring if the night furies followed or not.
