HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON : The Berk High Council

“It’s a sunny day in Berk. Humans and dragons are in harmony, every living thing lives happily with each other. In the past, dragons were unheard of here; my father even said they were dangerous. Although he was considered a wise warrior in the village, I guess one cannot master everything. No matter what happens, eventually he and the entire village people realized that dragons are innocent, thoughtful creatures just like us. Isn’t that right, buddy?” -“ROAARR” “Ahahaha, your usual self, Toothless... I see you’re very happy with your friends, but don’t you think they’ve gotten a bit too much? So, yes, they too can be alive like us, that’s true, but this village is suitable for human habitation; it’s not for dragons that would almost outnumber the human population. Moreover, many in the village still don’t even know how to train their dragons. Should we add someone new to our team? “New dragon riders”—wow, that actually doesn’t sound bad. If we could see new faces like this, it would also help us ward off potential threats. What do you think, buddy?” -“ROAR” “That’s what I thought too.” “I wonder what Astrid’s doing... Stop! Hey buddy, do you see something flying around the village? The face of one of them doesn’t look very unfamiliar. Hmm... Anyway, I couldn’t remember, let’s convene the Berk council, there are issues I want to get ideas on. Everyone should learn ‘How to Train Your Dragon.’”
