So this takes place after 'How to Train Your Dragon Two' so yeah… here we go again.
It was an early morning in Berk. Hiccup heads out for an early start.
"Come on Toothless." Hiccup said and the pair heads off. He then saw Astrid with Stormfly. "Morning Astrid." Hiccup greets and Astrid looks over, then smiles.
"Yeah, morning." Astrid said.
"What's wrong?" Hiccup asks.
"It's been four years Hiccup." Astrid whispers and Hiccup sighs.
"Since Maria left, yeah I know." Hiccup said.
"We haven't heard from her since she left. I'm getting worried. What if they turned on her and Edda?" Astrid admits.
"Maria is strong, you trained her well." Hiccup tells her and Astrid nods.
"I can't shake a feeling though." Astrid said as they started walking. They then met up with Ruffnut and Tuffnut, Barf and Belch, Fishlegs, Meatlug, Snotlout and Hookfang.
"Okay, we all have work to do this morning." Hiccup starts.
"Uh, Hiccup." Fishlegs said, looking at the sky. Hiccup looks over to see Edda.
"Edda." Astrid whispers. Edda lands by and they saw an unconscious Maria on her back. Maria looked a lot different since they last saw her. She was no wearing a medium blue shirt with cap sleeves, black pants, a brown leather belt with a silver buckle on her left hip and brown boots. "Maria!" Astrid shouts as she runs over and pulls Maria off and scans her body. Maria has tons of cuts, bruises and scrapes all over her body. The others ran over and Fishlegs checked on Edda.
"Like last time." Hiccup said.
"Edda isn't looking so good." Fishlegs said, seeing a few wounds.
"What the hell happened?" Astrid asks.
"We will ask Maria when she wakes up." Hiccup said as Valka walks over.
"What's going on?" Valka asks.
"Now isn't a good time to explain." Hiccup replies. "Astrid, take Maria to my place and get those wounds taken care of. Ruffnut, help her." Hiccup tells them.
"Got it." Astrid said.
"On it." Ruffnut said as she walks over to Astrid. The pair carried her off.
"Mother, can you help them?" Hiccup asks.
"Of course." Valka replies as she runs off. Hiccup walks to Fishlegs who was patting Edda.
"That's it Edda, clam down. It's over, you two are home." Fishlegs said.
"I knew we shouldn't have let her go back." Snotlout said.
"Not now. I need you to make sure they weren't followed." Hiccup tells him as Eret walks over.
"Is everything okay here?" Eret asks.
"No, I need you to help Snotlout to check the area. Make sure no one is out there." Hiccup tells him.
"Got it." Eret said and runs off. Snotlout sighs as got on Hookfang and flies off.
"Tuffnut, I need you to stay with Fishlegs and… help if you can." Hiccup tells him.
"Got it." Tuffnut said.
"Don't worry Hiccup, I got her." Fishlegs tells him and Hiccup nods as he runs off. He runs home and to his room to see Astrid and Valka treating Maria's wounds.
"I see." Valka said.
"I told your mother who Maria is." Astrid tells Hiccup who nods.
"How did she end up like this?" Hiccup asks.
"She hasn't woke up yet so we have to wait." Astrid replies and Hiccup nods.
"Fishlegs is taking care of Edda." Hiccup said and Astrid sighs.
"I told her she should have stayed." Astrid said.
"Not now Astrid." Hiccup said. Maria moans and Valka moves back. Hiccup drops by Maria's side and Maria opens her eyes as Ruffnut walks behind Astrid.
"Hiccup." Maria whispers.
"Hey." Hiccup said. Maria then looks at Astrid and Ruffnut.
"Astrid, Ruffnut." Maria whispers.
"Take it easy, okay." Astrid tells her and Maria nods.
"Where's Edda? Is she okay?" Maria asks worried.
"She is fine, Fishlegs is with her now." Hiccup tells her and Maria sighs with relief.
"Thank goodness." Maria whispers.
"What happened?" Hiccup asks.
"My village was attack, I don't know who they were but they were strong. We held them off as best we could. We tried but… there were too many. Vika, he told me to run. He told me to come back here. He said I will be safe here." Maria explains.
"So your family didn't hurt you." Astrid said and Maria nods.
"They welcomed me home and kept their promise. I tried to come back sooner but everything went wrong. We had a lot of trouble with other bandits and storms. Edda and I, we help build out village and were welcome. It was nice." Maria explains.
"Get some rest." Hiccup tells her.
"I'm okay." Maria whispers. "But… who is that?" Maria asks, seeing Valka.
"Sorry, this is my mother." Hiccup introduces.
"Mother, well it is an honour." Maria said and moans in pain.
"Easy." Valka said and Maria sighs.
"Sorry." Maria whispers.
"Well while you are awake, I have a lot to tell you." Hiccup tells her and Maria looks at him.
"We do." Astrid said and Maria nods.
