Dragons Thoughts

Astrid woke up that morning feeling more depressed than ever. It has been a week since Stormfly's death and it has taken its toll on Astrid. She has been moping around and hasn't left her house. Astrid thought, I need to go see Hiccup maybe he can make me feel better. She got out of her bed and put on her normal armor and clothes. Oh, wait. Hiccup is chief now, he won't have time for such a petty problem, Astrid thought as she left the house. She kept walking anyway until she saw a black dragon with a blueish tint fly into the forest. Astrid was confused, she figured it was just Toothless and the sky gave a blue tint. She shrugged it off until Hiccup and Toothless approached her from the opposite direction.

"Hey Astrid!" Hiccup exclaimed, "Are you feeling better?"

"Hi Hiccup," She said thoughts still on that dragon she saw.

"Are you ok? You seem like you're still a little off, Astrid," Hiccup said.

"Yes, she does seem like something else has her attention," Toothless agreed.

"No, I'm fine Hiccup, I just need to take a walk," She said and started towards the forest.

As she started to walk a big man, not viking like, was walking towards her and Hiccup. He was about 6'7" with black hair that had bright yellow highlights. He had red eyes, natural red not bloodshot, not bright red, but a darker shade still piercing into your soul. He had a dragon skin vest that left his chest exposed showing three long scars from his right shoulder to his left hip. On each bicep he had a band with dragon claws around it and had fingerless dark royal blue dragonscale gloves and a dragon tooth necklace on a gold chain. His pants were dragon skin with the same scales from the gloves on the knees of the pants. He wore black boots and wore a look of self assurance on his face. A dragon killer if Astrid ever saw one, but he lacked any weapons.

"You smell like a dragon, but not like you killed one," Toothless said while in a protective stance.

"Who are you!" Astrid yelled while pulling out her axe, "And why are you dressed in dragon skin?"

The man raised his hands and got on his knees, "I mean you all no harm. I have come here to look for the master smith Hiccup Haddock," He said I a surprisingly soothing voice.

"Ay, that's me," Hiccup said, "but who are you and why did you want to find me?"

"Oh, I am so sorry for not introducing myself," He said apologetically "My name is Maximus NightStalker, and I have come here to have the best smith in the world make me my weapons."

"YOU EXPECT US TO MAKE YOU WEAPONS?" Astrid challenged, "You look like you kill dragons for a living!"

"Quite the contrary Miss," Maximus said "I infact am a dragon, so why would I kill one hmmm?"

"You are no dragon," Hiccup said "But Toothless isn't feeling nervous around you so you must mean no harm. You can stand now."

"Thank you Chief Hiccup," Maximus said while standing, "and I am humbled to meet the new alpha." Maximus gave a small bow to Toothless who then sat up straight to look nobal.

"How about we finish this conversation inside, Hiccup," Astrid said as more and more angry villagers appeared, "They really don't like our guest."

"Astrid, Maximus, follow me," Hiccup said as he waived them into the nearby forage.

Astrid shut the door once they were all inside. The space inside wasn't small but there wasn't much extra room for them to sit. It was hot because Hiccup had recently used the forage and there were small pieces of metal dust around the room. Astrid quickly looked at Hiccup then back to Maximus, this isn't what her plan was for today.

"Hiccup, I have come to you for my weapons because you are the most familiar with the shaping of gronkle iron," Maximus said in a praising tone, "I have some gold, silver, or platinum to pay you with if you so wish."

"Look Maximus, not to be rude or anything," Astrid was saying in a sincere tone, "but if Hiccup makes you a weapon then it will look he is arming the enemy to the rest of the village."

"She is right," Hiccup said, "and besides, how am I to know your intentions for your weapon?"

"I will spend my time here in your jail if you can make me my twin kukris," Maximus said. He through Hiccup all his money and got on his knees with his hands behind his back. "Miss, you can tie me up and take me to jail now."

"My name is Astrid, and I'm not going to take you to jail," She said, "I am going to explain this to them now so we can move on with our lives."
