NO! Not Momo! 😭

So who's this other guy, this neighbour?

(On the spot trying to create some lore)

So what I think we've established so far is a long time ago, the main royalty who led the town of the Guardians, Cora/Riley's parents, stuffed up. They got exiled. Either before this or afterwards, Mr Smith decides to use the hidden entrance to the surface world to live a life away from the dragon-filled underworld.

Maybe, it wasn't just Mr Smith. Maybe a young Mr Smith, in his late 20s, had a friend, and the two of them created grand schemes and ideas of their life together venturing in the surface world. But Mr Smith broke the Haddock's vow of secrecy. No-one apart from the royalty were to know of the way to the surface world.

So Mr Smith and his friend were banished. They got their wish, but nothing else. They were outlaws of their old town, and migrants of their new town, Berk.

As the two grew up together, they slowly drifted apart, Mr Smith wanting to forget the wretched world he left behind while the neighbour who excitedly told tales of his past to young listeners of Berk.

And then one day Cora's mum shows up with baby Cora and begs for Mr Smith to look after her. Mr Smith had to say yes, and Cora's mum disappears with slightly older Riley into the depths of The Hidden World.

Okay, Summary.

1. Cora's mum and dad ruled the land of the Guardians.

2. When Mr Smith was young, he broke the vow of secrecy by revealing the gateway to the surface world to his friend. The two were banished and exiled to the surface world.

3. Cora's parents do a big oopsie while leading the Guardians (I still don't know what). Something bad happens to Cora's dad and the family is banished from their own kingdom.

4. Cora's mum comes to the surface world to hand Cora to Mr Smith.

5. Cora's mum lives with Riley in the depths of The HIdden World.

6. Cora's mum dies because soon-to-be-explained reasons.

Stuff we need to figure out.

1. Unless Cora has an explanation for this neighbour, we can ask the Guardians for an explanation that could link our stories closer together.

2. What happened on that fatal night where Cora's parents were banished from their own town? What happened to Cora's father?

3. Was the same reason that happened to Cora's father manage to hunt down Cora's mother afterwards? Was this Majapi, or Zane what's-his-face, a fearsome rogue dragon or someone/something else?

I'm sorry, I rant/think a lot.
