Hystaria. Curtis would go over it in his mind. He remember's that island, He was only there for a quick rest before making the rest of the way to Berk. "Hmm." Curtis would think again. "You will have the Right to inherit it. so that means, Im guessing your father rules the island?" Curtis would come to that conclussion as he would look at Branded marks on Luna's Hip. He would look up at Luna and would listen to her awnser.

"yes, my father is the leader of hysteria." she said shakily.She Continued to run her fingers over the scars that made up the brand on her hip. They were a constant and Sometimes harsh reminder of her heritage and her past. She sighed and sat down, hand still at her hip. She Was suprised at how Curtis had taken it, he hardly seemed suprised at all! He sat down as well. "where do I start? I was born on hysteria, my father is their leader, my mother is his wife, I ever got along with them very well because we didn't share opinions about dragons. As long as I can remember, I have never agreed with dragon slaughter and abuse. But that's kind of what my parents lived for. I hated the thought of having to kill dragons. When I was around seven, I started learning about them and their ways, and some would even let me pet them. When I was 10, I stole a ship and left for berk. I got Here, and of corse they wanted to know where I was from. Since the second I stepped on this island, I have been living a lie, and that's the way it's going to stay." after she had told him the whole story. They sat there in silence for a few minutes. She continued to finger her hip.

Curtis would think through his head. It didn't seem bad, The thought of an island that killed dragons, yes that was bad. But still. "Hmm. intersting story." Curtis would look around abit, He found the silence abit akward. But he didn't know what to say. He would look over at Luna and then would look at the Branding. He would lightly rub his finger over it looking at it. He was waiting to see if Luna was gonna ask or say somthing.

Luna hung her head. she was asheamed of herself. the fact that she was living a lie, and that she had to was horrible. she was a horrible person. she wiped a stray tear from eye before curtis could see it. he reached over and felt the scars on her hip. she watched his eyes as he did. he seemed almost confused. "ya, interesting is a word you could use to describe it." she mumbled to herself. " you cant ever tell anyone ever. you are the only person besides me who knows this. and thats the way i want it to stay, ok." she glaned at him and waited for a reply. he still seemed to be studying the branding she had. " if your wondering what that is about, it just something they do on hysteria. they dont do it untill the child is one year old, to ensure that it will live. on there first birthday they take out a speical branding tool used only for the occation. it basically proves who i am. only direct descendents get it. like my mother doest have it, only my father and i. it makes it so that just anybody cant become the leader, you have to have the mark.' she paused for a minute 'which is another reason i left, i could never be the leader of anything, its just not who i am. but im still stuck with this stupid part on myself to remind me of it every day!' she scowled as she said that.

Hmm. Curtis would start going over it in his head. They choose people from the Family line to be the leader? Seem's a tad, Odd. In his mind. He would pull his hand away from Luna's hip and would think abit more. " Hmm. Family members of the current leader are the one's that before leaders?" Curtis would look around and then would look back at Luna after she would awnser. "Back at Red Rock, We choose someone to be the leader after a certain amount of time has passed. We stopped the whole Leader through Family Blood line along time ago" Curtis would kinda laugh at that fact. Curtis would continue to go on again. "Alot of people found it pretty unfair, And about One and fifty six years ago there was a riot of the main town hall becuase of this. The Leader was killed and thats how the whole Pick someone to be leader thing started."
Their would be a small gust of wind that would pass by. It was rare becuase it was pretty quiet this night, No wind latley. "So that's how my Father is probably Leader by now." Curtis would look over at Luna and would see if she says anything about it.

Luna listened to Curtis talk about red rock, the place where he was from. It was on the mainland. He told her about how the leader ship there worked. She looked at him and nodded as he spoke. The way they did it there was much different from the way they did it in hysteria. In hysteria, it didn't matter if you wanted to or not, you got stuck with the job. "and the scary thing is, when my father dies or maybe even before they'll try and track me down. They'll try and find me and drag me back to hysteria and make me leader. If they never find me, as I hope they won't, they'll probably make one of my cousins leader. But I'm not the first to try and flee, the other two who have ever tried it have been found and caught. They started doing the branding after the first one tried it, for exactly this reason." her voice trailed off and she sighed heavily. "that has kept me from sleeping more nights than you know." she said. She ran her fingerS through her hair and thought. 'it could happen any Time now, they could find me and take me away'. She looked over at Curtis, waiting for him to reply of react.

Curtis would think. Drag someone back to their home to make them the leader if their Father Dies? It seemed very odd, And How would they know where to look, there's many islands around this area so it could take them awhile depending how long they would look for. " Hmm. Chance's of them finding you are slim. The world is a big place, and to find just one person would be impossible unless you knew where they were excatly." Curtis would look at Luna. "Trust me I would know." Curtis would look around the area thinking for a moment. Did he really want to tell Luna about his problems back at Red Rock. It's not that he didn't trust her or anything it just seemed abit personal. Curtis would look at his fingers and would mess with them waiting for Luna to say somthing.
The night would seem calm now. The gust of wind that past earlier must of just been a random occurence. The sky would be clear except for a cloud every other moment, The star's seemed to be brighter then normal tonight.

Luna thought about what Curtis had said. He was probably right, but the thought of being forced to go back to hysteria still scared her. It probably always would. She looked up at the sky. How would he know? She thought. The sky was particularly bright for some reason tonight. The moon just shined more and the stars twinkled brighter. She looked at the moon, in a way it was her namesake- and for that reason it had always fascinated her. Just a normal, sometimes rather dull girl being compared to the moon? It seemed strange. She looked up at it, She wondered what the moon was made of, if it was a place you could go to, what would it be like to like on the moon? She thought to herself. She let her mind stray a little before she looked over at Curtis, who was messing with his fingers. She thought about him, and her feelings for him. Had she done the right thing by telling him her secret and showing him her mark? Would she ever regret it? She pulled her shirt back over her hip and said to him "how would you know?" she asked him with curiosity in her voice.

Curtis would look over at Luna and would bit his lower lip abit. Curtis would think for a moment. I guess i should tell her. "Well. Know how I have been saying my dad is probably in charge?" Curtis would think. "Yea. Well before I left he was the leader. and still is probably. I attempted to kill him, Long story for another time though." Curtis would stop biting his lower lip. "After that when I left I stayed at one of the neighbouring islands. I thought I would of been safe there. But No. About two weeks later Guards from Red Rock came through town. I disguised myself." Curtis would stop for a moment.
Curtis would continue on. "They came up to me and asked me if they knew anything about the son of the current leader of Red rock, They said I was suppose to be brought back to Red Rock and would be put in jail for the next six months." Curtis would think for a moment. "After that I got on Slity and decided to Fly alot farther north. And ended up here. "I encountered them 5 more times before I got here. And if they are bold enough they will come up to Berk and look." Curtis would look at Luna and would await for a response.

Luna thought it over. So in a way, he was like her. She thought about the punishment you would have to endure for attempting to kill the leader on hysteria. Probably torture and life in prison or death. Hysteria was a harsh place, which is why she could never be the leader. She thought,' why would he try to kill his father? What could he have done to drive Curtis to a state were he was willing to kill? She had never seen him like that, he always seemed pretty laid back and content. She turned the thought over in her mind a bit. "aren't you ever Afraid they'll find you?" she asked him. He answered and they sat in silence for a few moments, both thinking over the information that they had both received and given out. She hesitated before asking "would you mind telling me what the reason for you attempting murder against your father?" she had never agreed with her father and had never ever by any stretch of the imagination loved him. But she had never harbored the thought of trying to kill him for it. She waited for him to answer.

Curtis would think, Well she asked might aswell tell her now while she still want's to know. "Well, When I was nine I found Slity in a cave not far from my home. When I brought him home one day, My mother was happy that I finally found a dragon. But I could see it in my father's eyes.. He didn't like Slity. One. Bit." Curtis would pause for a second before moving on. "So six years later, only about two months ago. Me and Slity had just came back from a evening fly. It was late so I went to sleep in the house. Slity wasn't quite alseep yet. My father went outside and tried to kill Slity Right there." Curtis would look at Luna for a moment before continuing again.
"I heard Slity hit somthing out back, It seems abit loud. When I went downstair my mother was coming out of the front room with my sword and hers. We ran out back and saw my father laying on the ground. When we asked what he did he simply walked back in the house. My mom and I both knew what he tried to do." Curtis would stop for a moment again and would take a breath.
"So I tried to get revenge. Not long after I packed what I needed one night and put it beside Slity. I went in and simply tried to murder my father, It failed though. He woke up instantly and ran after me. I got on slity and just before i flew off he Caught the back of my leg with his sword." Curtis would stop seeing how it was the end of the story.
"Well that's about it for that story." Curtis would lift the pant leg on his right leg and not far up the back of his leg was a scar that ran from one side of the leg to the other. "That's Where the sword hit though."

Luna listened intently as Curtis told his story. She listened intently and nodded as he spoke. As he finished he pulled up the back of his pant leg and revealed a long scar along the back of his leg. She looked at it, it was very long and would have been deep when it happened. She looked at it, you could see it clearly in the moonlight. "that must have hurt alot" she said sympathetically. She thought about what he had just told her. He definatly Had a deep relationship with slity if he was willing to do that for him. That was deep. She looked at him, his face was very sober. She reached over and put her hand on his. "I'll never tell anyone, as long as you do the same." she said looking into his eyes.

Curtis would look at Luna touch his hand, He would look up at Luna's face and would smiling nodding. "Alright." Curtis would look around the area. He didn't relise how tired he was until now. He would yawn abit and would start to doze off. He finally was able to fall asleep now. Seemed off though it took all that to put him to sleep but It worked.
