I know I said I would update Eden when I got my computer charger back but with this being the last chapter I thought I would finish this up first. I promise my next upload will be to Eden. So be patient please.
Now let's finish this shall we?
Branch remained in coma for three days, during that time Rosiepuff never left his side. She prayed to the gods that they would spare her Grandson and vowed she would right the wrongs she committed.
She started with making peace with the dragons. With the Demon Dragon gone, the dragons no longer attacked the trolls village, and Rosiepuff declared they were allowed to roam free without persecution. Several troll families took some dragons in as pets.
Many of the town folks were proud to no longer see the dragons as pests, but even through all that joy their were still concern for the one who made it all possible, Branch. His right arm was badly burned and damaged in the battle, to the point were it had to be amputated. Peppy built Branch a prosthetic using the materials he made his weapons with, but there was no guarantee that the prosthetic would work. Nearly the entire village lefts get well packages in Branch's room, Cooper brought cupcakes for Branch to snack on when he finally woke up, Poppy brought flowers, and Reby wrote a card that read You better live or I will kill you. The entire village was concerned for their hero and prayed that he would soon wake up.
Reby also made peace with her parents during those three days. Seeing that Reby was not near as crazy as believed for her love for dragons Reby's parents apologized and told her how proud they were of her and Reby moved back in with them shortly after returning to the Island
Finally, Mid afternoon on the third day, with Rosiepuff by his side Branch woke up and saw his Grandmother sitting beside him.
"Oh Branch your awake, that Thor!" Rosiepuff swooped in and gave Branch the biggest hug he had ever felt in his life.
"Hey easy, injured Troll hear!" Branch wheezed, still in pain from his near death experience.
"Oh sorry." Rosiepuff released her hug.
"How long was I out?" Branch asked, he then noticed the prosthetic arm that he now sported "And what happened when I was out?"
"You were out for three days." Rosiepuff answered "We nearly lost you. We would have if it wasn't for your dragon. I don't know how you learned all those things about those dragons, but however you did, I hope you can teach us as well, teach me."
"You want to be a dragon rider? That's it I must be dead."
"Come Branch, there is something I want to show you." Rosiepuff led Branch outside the his house where outside waiting for him was a nearly the entire tribe, all running outside with dragons. But these trolls weren't attacking the dragons, they were playing with them. Branch just froze in disbelief, many of these trolls were among the best dragon killers in the tribe.
Yep, I knew it, I am dead!"
"Nah, but you gave it your best shot."
"Branch!" All of Branch's friends came running toward him, relieved to see him alive and awake.
"Oh Branch we were so worried about you." Cooper cried wrapping his front legs around Branch
"Don't you ever scare us like that again young man." Suki said
"Who are you calling a young man," Branch replied "We are the same age."
"What's up lefty!" Creek blurted out noticing Branch's prosthetic arm. His remark caused him to get a punch in the shoulder from Suki
"OW! What was that for?"
"Too soon man, way to soon."
Reby was the next to confront Branch. Reby walked up to him and planted a punch on Branch's left shoulder.
"Hey I thought I was the hero here!" Branch replied rubbing his shoulder
"You owe me a new bow mister after causing my last one to get scorched." Reby quickly followed up with a hug. "But I am so glad you are alive."
Reby wasn't the only one greeting Branch with a punch, Poppy too walked up to Branch and delivered a punch to his shoulder as well.
"Hey, what is it with people punching me all of a sudden?!"
"That's for scaring me."
"Is this going to be a regular thing with you...?" Branch was cut off when Poppy grabbed him and planted a kiss to Branch's lips, which he gladly accepted "You know I could get use to this."
"Who knew that all this time we just needed some of... this." Rosiepuff replied
"You just pointed at all of me."
"Well most of you." Peppy replied "That new arm is my personal design, molded it out of some old material for my weapons. I wanted to use a hook but we're not vikings, we're trolls. What do you think?"
Branch studied his arm for a minute and grabbing Poppy's ax he tossed it at a nearby tree, sticking it in it's bark.
"I think it will work."
"Hey Branch!" Some of the troll kids asked running up. "You want to show us how to ride a dragon?"
"Only if you think you can handle it." Branch replied running up to the kids. Poppy smiled as she watched Branch teaching the kids about proper dragon riding. She still couldn't believe it, a few weeks ago Poppy viewed Branch as someone who didn't belong in the same room as her and the others in the arena. Then her pride turned to hatred and jealousy when Branch started doing well and stealing the spotlight that she thought was hers. Now outside of his grandmother there was probably nobody that cared more about Branch then her, her hatred turned to love, her jealousy turned to admiration.
"How did you know he would do all of this?" Poppy asked Cloud Guy as Cloud Guy walked up to Poppy.
"I'm a all seeing and all knowing Cloud Guru," Cloud Guy said "How is that so hard to understand that I know everything?"
"Well however you knew, it is done, he did it. He saved the dragons, and us all. His mission is now complete."
"Yeah," Cloud Guy nodded "This mission at least anyway."
"Wait there's more?"
"Oh Poppy as long as you are breathing your mission is never over. But to answer your question, yes there is more."
"But I thought his mission was to save the dragons?"
"And they are saved, from the Demon Dragon anyway. But there are more trolls out there that want to harm the dragons, and it is up to Branch and all of you to save them."
"We will," Poppy replied
"Good because one particular villain is on pursuit for a separate Dragon Utopia founded by Branch's Grandfather."
"Grandfather?"
"Oh yeah I probably didn't tell you all, Branch has a Grandfather who worked with Branch's parents as well and when they died his Grandfather started setting up a separate Utopia in their memory. But once danger arrived he had to fake his death so...?"
"Why didn't you ever tell Branch or Rosiepuff!" Poppy scolded.
"Because it's not my job, he has to discover it on his own. Which he will sooner then you think. But you must not tell him or anyone else about this promise?"
Poppy didn't want to promise, but Cloud Guy said that he would indeed discover it, and if she learned anything from watching Branch it's that Cloud Guy was never wrong. "I promise. Your a real pain in the neck you know?"
"That's part of my job." Cloud Guy then floated away and once he arrived back into the mountains he stared into his crystal ball to see how Branch would do in his future mission. What he saw caused him to fall to the floor in distraught and disbelief.
"No!" Cloud Guy Cried "Oh no, no!" The crystal ball soon became coated red in blood, and once the blood cleared the vision was gone. Cloud Guy fell to the ground panting heavy, "No? This can't be?" For if what he saw was right, Branch would soon lose someone close to him in battle, he would lose... Poppy. "No," Cloud Guy curled up in a ball and cried, not wanting to believe what he just saw "No, no, no, no, no!"
"Branch!" Creek called out as Branch was still training the kids. "You want to race!"
"Only if you think you can keep up!"
"Oh please you will be eating my dust."
"We will see about that. First one around the island wins!"
"And last place cleans the winning dragon's pin for the next century." Poppy laughed
"Deal!" Everyone else cheered. Everyone flew off, laughing as their dragons flew across the skies.
This is Troll tree, it's not perfect but no place is. It snow's six months of the year and rains the other six. The people that live here is obnoxious their personal hygiene is near non existent. The only upside is the pets. While some people have birds or bunnies, we have... OUR DRAGONS!"
So as you probably figured out I am indeed doing a sequel to this story, and it's going to be a lot darker, more serious and filled with more shocks and surprises then How To Train Your Dragon 2. I am going to try to get it up before the end of the year but I can't make any promises sadly. It all depends on how fast I can get my next adaption done.
Speaking of next adaption, I know you have all been literally DYING to know what my next adaption is going to be. Well I will now let you know that my next story is going to be called "Watchdogs" and that the story is going to be loosely based off the Video Game "Overwatch"
I will now take this time to answer your questions.
Riverajacoped1 "But Jpbake I have never played Overwatch and don't know a thing about the story does that mean I can't read this story?"
No at all because the fun thing about Overwatch is that the Game itself doesn't actually have a story mode, instead the game company Blizzard releases the backstory for the game Via animated shorts that you can find on Youtube and through comics. And the Overwatch Lore is still not complete despite it being out for two years so they are still releasing backstory. That means that gives me room to be super creative and make this story my own. So you don;t need to know a thing about this game to read this story.
Black Raider "Should we still do some Homework and Reading up on the game though before reading this?"
As I stated before you don't have to know a thing about the game, but if you really want to do some homework on the game first, I would suggest reading the backstories on all the characters on the Overwatch Wikipedia page and watch the eight animated shorts based on some the characters on Youtube considering I will be borrowing from some of them.
Reby Montana "Can I be in the story?"
This story is going to be huge A trilogy actually, and I already have most of the characters cast, I will even be bringing in characters from other Dreamworks property like Hiccup and Astrid to feel the slots of some of the characters considering there is currently twenty eight playable characters not counting the other characters to the lore, so I don't think I have a spot for you. At least not in the first story.
I won't to finish off Eden before I start on Watchdogs but as soon as Eden is finished I will instantly get started on Watchdogs, and trust me this is going to be one of the most action packed stories I have ever written so keep a look out for that and until next time, take care.
Dang this was a long Authors note.
