I've put a bit of thought into the Guardians of The Hidden World thing (at the worst time literally coz I had my English Exam today with more exams in the next 10 days), but I think I have an idea of what these other 5-7 random people can do.

They live in this village, which still pretty much looks like a village from the Viking Ages. This village lives in harmony with dragons, with basically everyone having a bonded dragon, after their trials. At the current day, there are also hybrid dragons and new species of dragons in the Hidden World.

The village was, for many years, led by the Hiccstrid descendants who founded the place, until Cora/Riley's mum got banished, and it was passed to another elder. In this society, a group of 5-7 riders are chosen to be the Guardians of The Hidden World, protecting and saving dragons, keeping the peace between dragons, and making sure that the secret of The Hidden World will never be revealed to the outside world. (P.S. These people also don't know how to leave THW.)

So every 4 years, all 11 to 15 year-olds go through a trial. All the older dragons of the tribe bring their youngest to the ceremony, while all the 11 to 15 year-olds (about 20-30 I guess) are there as well. Now all the kids get to choose a dragon. Some may never find a dragon and remain dragonless for their entire life, but most do find their partner.

Then comes the 3-week trials, where you get to train, ride and fight with your dragon, while also learning the anatomy, skills and threats of each type of dragon. You regularly get tested, and a huge leaderboard is present for the entire tribe. It's not how big or how strong you are that matters, its mainly your connection with your dragon. At the end of the period, there is some big final challenge and the top 7 contenders are declared the new Guardians of The Hidden World. Yay.

So you can only be a Guardian for 4 years, starting as young as 11, to the max age of 19. After that, you live your life and teach the next group of kids learning to become Guardians.

So basically, these 5-7 new writers, can be these people in this village, going through the trials and becoming the Guardians of THW. And then we go find this village then crossovers begin! Yay!
