If we want to fight the Death Song, we'll need to gather as much intel as we can about this dangerous dragon. Can you talk to the others and see what they know about our foe?

Any information could be very valuable to us.

Fishlegs could have some important information about the dragon. Start with him!

1- Talk to Fishlegs about the Death Song

The Death Song? We don't have much intel on it. It wasn't in the Book of Dragons. I noticed that its wings are very colorful. It kind of looks like a butterfly crossed with a dragon!

Oh! Maybe it has the patterning and colorings on its wings for similar reasons. Some butterflies uses their wings as campuflage to blend into their environments, or as a warning to predators that they are poisonous.

Butterflies also use their colorful markings to make them look bigger than they are. Some wings have 'eyespots' so that they look like the eyes of a larger creature.

Our ancestors might have run across the Death Song in some form. After all, there is the saga of the Dragon Valkyrie. It sounds a little bit like the Death Song. The dragon in the story has wings like a butterfly and attacks other dragons, just like our dangerous enemy.

It makes me tear up when I tell it. Ask Hiccup to tell it to you!

2- Talk to Hiccup

The saga of the Dragon Valkyrie? I haven't heard that in years. That's an interesting theory that it might be about the Death Song.

Unfortunately, I don't remember much about the tale. It had to do with a valkyrie, a butterfly, and a dragon? I think so. It has been told by Vikings since the time of Odin.

Astrid said something about it recently. She might be more help than I am.

3- Talk to Astrid

I never got to hear the whole legend, [your Viking's name]. Valka pulled me aside and told me how Hiccup and I reminded her of the warrior and valkyrie in the famed legend. Then Gobber showed up and that was the end of that.

It sounds like an interesting story but I don't know enough to tell you. You should talk to Valka to hear the whole thing.

4- Talk to Valka at Berk

Ahh, the saga of the Dragon Valkyrie. Now that's a story!

My parents told it to me when I met Stoick, but I hadn't thought of it in ages. Ahh yes, a beautiful story indeed.

A long time ago when we first settled on Berk, a warrior and a valkyrie fell madly in love. She loved butterflies and would spend long hours in the meadows watching them flutter by.

When she and the warrior got engaged, he vowed to find the most beautiful butterfly in the world as a symbol of his love. He traveled far and wide to find his elusive prize. He finally found it in the nest of an angry dragon horde.

Vikings and dragons were bitter enemies at the time, so his band of Vikings struck. They fought valiantly, but he fell to the dragons.

The valkyrie was heartbroken when the men returned with the butterfly... but without her warrior. She fled to the forest, never to return to the village. They say she could be heard crying in the forest, alone and vulnerable... but it was a ruse to draw dragons in. She would attack them to avenge her warrior's death.

After many years, the trickster god Loki turned her into a dragon with wings like a butterfly that would destroy dragons to avenge the death of her true love!

Perhaps there is truth in the saga and that the Dragon Valkyrie has finally returned to menace Berk. Whether that's true or not, we need to protect our dragons and our Vikings from the deadly reach of the Death Song.
