Now, this chapter probably sucks, but it is the last chapter. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 19: The War Is Over

At Berk, 5:30 p.m.

Stoic and Gobber had explained to all of the Vikings about the war ending with the dragons. A few were not so happy about it, but others were ecstatic about the war being over. Stoic had Nefera and Night Fly stay in his house so Nefera could heal. Alexa and Brandon came with them as well.

7:15 p.m.

There was a knock at the door which startled the four beings. Alexa and Brandon walked up to the door and was greeted by the town healer, Gothi. The teens showed her to where the dragons were. As they walked up the steps, they could hear Night Fly trying to get Nefera to stay awake. To Gothi, it just sounded like purrs and warbles. But to Alexa and Brandon, it sounded like humans talking.

"Nefera, you have to stay awake!" Night Fly purred, nudging her awake for the eleventh time that day. Nefera had been having an impossible time staying awake. The strength it was taking her to even open her eyes was tiring enough, but to stay awake, that took too much strength for her. The cuts weren't helping either. All of her bones felt like they were broken, which they probably were, her scales felt like they were coming off, and she felt like her blood wasn't circulating right. Night Fly nudged a bowl of water to her, but she shoved it away, using a bit of strength to do so.

"This.. is... way harder... than... it looks." she wheezed. Her breathing had been irregular ever since they had gotten inside the house. Her voice wasn't as scratchy as before, but the water she was given before felt like it was seeping right through her like the blood on her wounds did. Night Fly had been laying down next to her the entire time. He gently placed his wing on her and pulled her close. She laid her head on his shoulder. "It's... really... hard... to breath." Her breathing had just gotten worse. And since she had asthma when she was little, it was coming back and wasn't helping.

Alexa and Brandon walked into the room with the town healer. "Night Fly, the healer is here." said Alexa. Night Fly nodded and carefully made way for the healer to look at Nefera, but he stayed close by her just in case. The healer began with her underbelly. She swallowed when she saw how many cuts there were. She looked over to Nefera's neck and head. Neither looked in good condition. Gothi scanned the rest of the dragon's body, but gasped at the tail. Nefera looked at her tail and shrieked, making everyone flinch. As much as her breathing pained her, the shriek was loud and high pitched. Gothi reached into her bag and pulled out a large bandage and a bottle. Inside the bottle was a green liquid.

Night Fly thought the liquid was poison and growled. "Night Fly, *cough* stop," said Nefera, her voice still a little hoarse. "That liquid is a fast healer. She's probably going... to put it on my tail." He looked at her warily before nodding and sitting on his haunches. Nefera looked calmly at the healer as she applied the liquid to Nefera's tail fin. There was pain for a split second, then it immediately went away and half of her body stopped hurting. It was her bottom half though. Her top half still pained her. Alexa walked over to her dragon's side and stroked her gently, carefully avoiding her cuts. Her headache was coming back, making her groan. Her chest cuts had not healed, they have only gotten worse.

"This... really... sucks." Nefera said, trying to lift her head up. The healer looked at her sympathetically. She reached into her bag and pulled out another bottle. As Nefera eyed the bottle, she smiled slightly and laid her head back down. "No one freak out when she gives me that bottle. It will knock me unconscious so she can work without me feeling any pain." Everyone in the room nodded. The dragon gave the healer a slight nod and the healer gave the liquid to Nefera, knocking her out. Then the healer set to work.

The Next Day, 1:38 p.m.

Nefera's wounds had all healed, as well as her tail fin, and she was walking outside with Night Fly, Alexa and Brandon at her side. When she was out there though, she saw all of the Vikings playing with dragons. Everyone was working together to fix up the village. Her father laughed as a Deadly Nadder butted her head into his stomach. Gobber had made his forge to make weapons also into a check-up station for the dragons. She also noticed that her forest friends had moved into the village and were telling stories in the plaza. The sight of Vikings and dragons working together pleased Nefera. She looked over to Night Fly, and with a slight nod, their riders boarded their dragons and they took off into the air.
