How many times has Harald betrayed us? I don't trust him. But... If Harald's invitation can stop the fighting, we can't afford to let this opportunity pass us by. I know: we'll go together and watch each other's back! We'll head to Auction Island together.

1-Go to Auction Island

Ugh. I swear it even smells like trouble here. This place has a long history of the dragon trade... it's stained with the pain of dragons.
Okay! Let's focus, get this done, and get the heck out of here. We need to make our way to Stormheart's throne. It's pretty ostentatious of her to place it at the highest part of this island, don't you think? Let's go!

2-Visit Stormheart's throne

[Your Viking's name]! I see you made it out of that death trap in one piece. How fortunate for both of us. Me? You and your dragon caused enough of a ruckus that I was able to get away without a fuss. Thanks!
I see Astrid is here. My mistake. I thought I implied Stormheart wanted to talk to you and you alone when I said 'come alone.'

Nice try, Harald. You might want a chance to face a dragon rider on your own, but we stick together. Whatever Stormheart has to say, she can say to both of us.
Let's get to the point. What do you want, Stormheart?

3-Talk to Stormheart

'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' An old saying, but appropriate.
The warlords will not stop until they capture every dragon in the archipelago. you must know that.
Hiccup and I may never be allies, but there can be a temporary peace between us. If we stop fighting, you'll have time to protect your treasured dragons. I can focus my wrath against a foe who has dared to challenge my strength in the archipelago.

The warlords are dangerous, but that doesn't mean that you're any less dangerous, Stormheart. There is blood between us. Harald betrayed us. He attacked our island! We're still picking up the pieces.
Hiccup believes that all people can change; if he were here, he might agree with you. Me? A lying snake is always a snake, and I would die before I let Berk come to harm.

Don't let your deserved hatred of me taint a good offer! Talk to me, [your Viking's name]. Astrid may have already hardened her heart against me, but I know you'd recognize good sense when you see it.

4-Talk to Harald

I learned a thing or two when I was pretending to join Berk's merry crew. Your primary concern is to protect dragons, right? Stormheart and I aren't out to enslave dragons. We don't want to hurt dragons at all. Shouldn't you be interested in doing anything you can save dragons from the warlords?
Let's say this is all just a trap. What do you have to lose? You will have to fight the warlords at some point if you want to save dragons. If you have to fight the warlords anyway, why not turn your focus directly to them and know that Stormheart isn't planning anything against you for a time? A sigh of relief, as it were.
Even Astrid must see the logic in this. Right, dear Astrid?

I don't like it. I hate to admit it... but he's got a point. Stormheart herself has neveer lied to us before. Just... Harald the snake here.

As a gesture of goodwill, my forces will no longer harass Berkian ships. Your fishing ships will be able to gather your nets without harassment. We will stop our attack on your caldera, what little there is left. My forces will smash the warlords' fleet, their most powerful weapon.
It shall be a tough fight, but we will persevere if you attack their secret base at the right time. Take my offer to your leader Hiccup. Take it to your new secret location, wherever it may be. I hope that he has the will to do what must be done.

6-Go to New Berk

Is this your first time here? Quite a sight, isn't it? I don't think anyone ever expected to find this strange island in the middle of nowhere, but it's nice. I'm still trying to get used to the idea of living in the clouds.
Let's find Hiccup and tell him the news.

7-Talk to Hiccup

Astrid will disagree, but I know in my heart that we can stop the fighting between us and Stormheart if we set our minds to it. Maybe they have ulterior motives. Yes, they may try to betray us. But if this ends up being the first step in the road towards peace in the archipelago... what choice do we really have?
