Not entirely sure what you're describing, but if you're flying 'as a dragon' then Broken Valley is literally 'broken'.... There's no return (apart from a couple of specific quests) - you're now questing in Orobas Fjords.
Get used to it - this won't be the only time in the game that a previous area has become 'wasted' due to the story-line...
EDIT: but if you go back to a save before you gained control of your battle-tower, you'll be able to finish any remaining 'Broken Valley' quests. And the game should have warned you before you hit your first 'point of no return'...
