"Speaking"
'Thoughts'
It was another beautiful day on Berk, it was freezing cold and snowing fiercely. Hiccup and the other dragon riders were on patrol around the island allow as most of the sea was frozen over. "Ruff, Tuff, you see anything?!" Hiccup yells as the twin's joined him in the air.
"Nothing really except I think I saw a bird." Tuff says.
"That was a piece of hail." Ruff says.
Tuff grew angry. "No bird."
Ruff got angry back. "Hail."
"Bird!"
"Hail!"
"Quiet!" Astrid yells taking out her favorite ax.
Did we forgot to mention they argue...like all the time. At least they become quiet under Astrid's threat. "Hail." "Bird."
Both Hiccup and Astrid groan as they continued. "Astrid, what about you?" He asks.
"I think I saw a wild Deadly Nadder, but it flew away before I could get a good look." Astrid says.
Hiccup sighs as their dragons flap in place. Toothless, his black night fury, moans out to him. "What's up bud?" Toothless veers her head towards the ocean. "Something down there?" Hiccup asks.
They all look to a beaten up ship that has worse days. "Good job girl. Anyone can tell who it belongs to?" Hiccup asks petting Toothless.
"Don't you have a telescope, as you call it?" Astrid asks.
Hiccup rummages through his vest before taking out his telescope. After opening it all the way he looks through and sees the boat. "No clan markings, but a lot of damage. Looks like they were attacked. Ruff, Tuff, go meet up with Fishlegs and Snotlout and bring them back here. Astrid and I will investigate." Hiccup says.
The twins left while auguring who will get there first. Hiccup and Astrid both flies down close the lowest cloud and peek through it. "Anyone on there?" Astrid asks.
"I see some people down there, looks like they are struggling to stay warm." Hiccup says.
Astrid squints trying to see. "Any clan markings on them?"
"I think...no that is the Belquin clan's flag." Hiccup says.
"Aren't they a relatively small clan?" Astrid asks.
Hiccup nods and looks closer. "There's a dragon wing. They have a dragon wing." He repeated with dread.
Astrid tries to see as well. "Where's the dragon?"
"It's just the wing. Let's get a closer look." Hiccup says.
Astrid nods and they wait for the ship to pass and then heads down slowly. "Careful bud. We don't want to make too much noise. Those guys look like they're on edge." Hiccup said.
A horn is then blown. "Dragons!" One of them yells.
"Unclear Captain Gunnlaugr. Too far to tell, but there is two of them!" The viking in the crow's nest yells.
Both Hiccup and Astrid look to each. "Fly?" She asks,
Hiccup nods. "Just be ready for evasive maneuvers!" He yells.
"Archers prepare to fire!" Captain Gunnlaugr commands.
"Hold on captain, I think there are kids riding them!" The lookout yells.
"Hold your fire, hold your fire!" Captain Gunnlaugr yells.
Both Hiccup and Astrid sigh in relief. "Okay, let's make ourselves known, nice and easy." Hiccup said leading Toothless downward.
"Who are you with?" Captain yells when Hiccup and Astrid were close enough.
"Berk and the Hairy Hooligans clan! Who are you with?!" Hiccup yells back.
"The Belquin clan." Captain Gunnlaugr says.
They both sigh in relief. "Follow us, we'll lead you somewhere safe to dock." Hiccup said back.
"You heard him men, to your stations!" Captain Gunnlaugr orders.
Both riders lead their dragons to the docks as the Berkians gathered on it for the boat. "Hiccup do you see that?" Astrid asks.
Hiccup nods. "Yep, they got their weapons. Let's hope they don't strike first."
Soon afterward the boat came into dock. Hiccup and Astrid land on a nearby dock and runs over to the boat with their dragons following. "Uh...dad?" Hiccup asks his overly large father.
"You go out on patrol and you come back with a much damaged ship and a group of, from the looks of the flag, Belquin vikings looking half frozen and in need of some healers. Well done, son. Alright lads, help them out and get them to the great hall for a hot meal and so our healers can have a look at them." Stoick says.
Hiccup breathes a sigh in relief. "Thank goodness." He said to himself as everyone starts to help the almost frozen sailors out of the boat and leads them to great hall. Hiccup then looks to Toothless who was watching him with a questionable look. "You know us bud, hit first, question never."
"That and the Belquin fight using poison so if we started fighting them we wouldn't come out unscthed." Gobber says helping a viking walk.
Hiccup nods. "Yeah I guess, oh well. Here let me help." He said to a viking getting out.
"No need, Hiccup right?" Captain Gunnlaugr asks.
Hiccup nods. "Yes sir, and you are?"
"Gunnlaugr, son of my chief and captain of the dragon horn there. Though the old girl has seen better days." Gunnlaugr says looking the iced and busted boat.
Hiccup knocks in the wood. "As long as the central wood isn't busted then we can repair it for you. Though the question is, what did this?"
"A dragon, a Scauldron to be specific. I'll tell you and the rest of your clan what happens as soon as we get my crew to safety and out of the cold." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup nods and walks with him to the great hall. "Sorry for the dragon lookalike attack."
"It is no problem, I'm just glad we didn't shoot at you." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup laughs nervously. "Yeah, right. Oh, meet Toothless, a night fury." He said placing a hand on her head.
Gunnlaugr looks carefully at Toothless. "Interesting, I always pictured a night fury to be a little bigger." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup smiles. "Yeah most do at first. She's just a little smaller because of her gender."
Gunnlaugr looks surprised. "It's a female?"
Hiccup chuckles. "Yeah, that's the first reaction out of everybody we tell. And don't tick her off, she acts like any other woman."
"Ah, got it. Don't tick off the female night fury." Gunnlaugr says as they continue walking
Hiccup smiles as he looks to Toothless who had a raised eyebrow. "It was warranted for small talk." Toothless just shakes her head and looks forward.
They soon had carried the crew to the great hall and the half frozen vikings were being seen to. Gunnlaugr started to remove all his layers of clothing revealing a slim young man. "So tell us what happened?" Stoick asks.
Gunnlaugr took a seat and sighs. "It all started when we were out scouting. We had heard from some of our fishing boats about seeing a dragon not too far away. So we went to investigate and if encountered drive it off. We did find a dragon, but it was already dead and half eaten. After examining it I gave the order to scavenge what we could from the dead dragon to take back. But then we were attack by the biggest Scauldron I had ever seen." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup sighs and leans back in his seat. "Fishlegs, what dragon did that wing from the boat belong to?"
"I took a good look and I can't find any good matches in the book of dragons." Fishlegs says looking back and forth from the book and the wing that was brought to the great hall.
Hiccup looks to his father, saying an unspoken question.
"Continue please, Gunnlaugr." Stoick says.
"Well, we fought back against the Scauldron, but it was too resilient to our weapons and when it was about to blast the entire deck with scalding hot water we were saved by lightning hitting it." Gunnlaugr says looking into the cup of mead given to him.
"Fishlegs, any dragon on that or was it Thor?" Hiccup asks.
Fishlegs goes through the book. "Unless you count night furies then no."
Hiccup sighs and looks to Gunnlaugr. "Continue."
"We all then looked to where it came from what we saw was another dragon, but it was like a human with scales, a tail, and wings." Gunnlaugr says.
Everyone looks surprised. "Human dragon?" Hiccup asks.
Astrid steps forward. "That's impossible. There is no such dragon anywhere in scrolls or books."
"No known dragon that is." Hiccup says.
Hiccup sighs. "I think we can guess the rest of story. Where did you encounter this dragon?"
"Near the Shell Reef Island. Sorry, I'm having trouble thinking because I have a headache." Gunnlaugr said holding his head.
Stoick stops from continuing. "That's all right. Rest up now and we'll see about everything tomorrow."
"Thank you chief Stoick." Gunnlaugr says seeing to his men.
Stoick sighs and heads to walk out with Hiccup and Toothless following. "Don't even try it son. You are not looking for this dragon."
"But dad, a human like dragon, just think of the possibilities." Hiccup says.
"Son, Shell Reef Island is a huge unexplored island because its reef has made the outlining area a ship graveyard." Stoick says.
Hiccup smirks. "And we have dragons."
"Hiccup there is no way I'm letting you go to that island. I am reluctant to send a scouting party to investigate the island because of that. I'm not going to let you go off alone to the island because of the unknown dangers." Stoick says.
"But dad..." Hiccup started.
"End of discussion." Stoick said heading home, leaving Hiccup and Toothless in the darken courtyard.
"What do you think girl? You interested in this human like dragon?" Hiccup asks.
Toothless snorts at him. She then brings her tail over him, casting a darker shadow.
"Ok, ok, I get it, not the brightest idea, but maybe..." Hiccup says getting an idea. "Come on girl, let's go see Gunnlaugr." Hiccup says heading back to the hall. Toothless sighs and follows after him.
Hiccup finds Gunnlaugr in the great hall eating. "So Gunnlaugr what do you know about Shell Reef island?" Hiccup asks sitting down.
Gunnlaugr looks to him. "I think your chief expresses differently."
"I'm thinking of exploring the island something that none of the clans have done so far because of the reef around it." Hiccup says.
Gunnlaugr sighs. "Well in that case, the island is surrounded by a thick fog and anything that goes in is done for."
"On the water, but what about from the air?" Hiccup asks.
Gunnlaugr raises an eyebrow and thinks on that. "Go on." Gunnlaugr says.
"Well we fly on our dragons and that might help with drawing onto the map." Hiccup explained.
"The other clans won't like us doing that without them. So unless we go to more clans to ask for their support in this we might see some trouble." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup smirks. "No one except dragons to map an area. Only if we go by ship then its trouble."
"What I'm saying is you're the son of the chief right?" Gunnlaugr asks. Hiccup nods. "Then by extending a friendly hand to the other clans it will help you with our relationships with them when you become chief." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup nods. "Yes that's true, but for now, how about that island?"
"I'll go back to my clan and wrangle support for this as well as the other clans. If your father finds out he will shut this down, but he can't do that if a few clans are already backing this endeavor." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup and gets up. "Thanks for the help, I'll leave you to your meal." He soon leaves with Toothless following him. "And try lemon with that."
"Nice kid." Gunnlaugr says with a smile. 'Things are going to get interesting soon.' Gunnlaugr thinks adding a bit of lemon.
Hiccup sighs as he begins the long walk to his home. "Are still with me bud?" Toothless bumps him from behind with her nose. "Good, I'm starting to worry about this you know. This human like dragon is going to make me stay up all night." Toothless snakes under his legs getting him on her back. "What are you doing?" He says trying to get a grip.
Toothless expands her wings letting him know she wants to fly. Hiccup smiles and hooks in his metal foot to the harness. "Alright, but for a bit. I'm really tired." Toothless gives a gummy smile before taking off.
Hiccup laughs a little as Toothless rises into the air. "Up to the clouds!" He yells over the rushing air. Toothless just keep climbing as a response "Ok girl give it all you got." Hiccup says.
Toothless laughs and shoots forward past the cloud layer and then levels out. She moans out as they look into the night sky. "It is a beautiful night girl. Now come on, we best get back before dad thinks we are sneaking out to the island." Hiccup says.
Toothless tips to the side and sends them downward as they headed for their home. Hiccup adjusts for a fast landing and tips the pedal as the land comes in fast. They soon hit the ground and smile at each other.
Gunnlaugr and his crew left a week later after their ship was repaired and the weather let up. Hiccup didn't hear from him again until he sailed in three months later.
"Gunnlaugr what are you doing back here?" Hiccup asks.
"I come with good news. My father and I have been talking to the other clans and with the prospect of the island finally being explored they have agreed to help and are even sending a few of their clansmen to aid us." Gunnlaugr says disembarking.
Hiccup looks surprised. "You're kidding."
"No I'm not, mostly though it will be for honor, glory, and a cut of what we find." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup then goes deadpan. "Of course."
"Did you expect any less from vikings? If they didn't make those known then they have ulterior motives." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup sighs. "Well in any case we need my dad's permission and the first word will be..."
"No!" Stoick said as they stood in the hall.
"Chief Stoick you can't really turn this down now. Almost all the clans are supporting this expedition now and sending clansmen. If your clan backs out now when one of your own proposed this it makes everyone look bad." Gunnlaugr says.
Stoick glares at Hiccup. "I meant he is not going. Only my own men will go and those who know how to fight and draw maps, not the riders."
"The whole reason why this is possible is because of the riders. Without them we can't fly and if we can't fly then the expedition will fail and it will look like you sabotaged it." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup sighs. "Come on dad. I know you're worried, but this is a great way to gain more help in case Alvin or Dagger attacks and you know how we're almost close to a possible attack date."
"Tell you what Chief. Why not bring this to the other chiefs and see if they have an objection to it." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup looks confused. "Uh...do we have another chief?"
"He's talking about a summit for all the chiefs of the clans." Gobber clarifies.
Hiccup sighs and starts to leave. "I think at this point we're going to need it. This is most agreements from other clans we have seen."
"He has a point Stoick, getting the clans to agree on anything is a feat in itself." Gobber says.
Stoick sighs and scratches his head. "Fine, get the summit ready and Hiccup..." The heavy door closes behind him. "Oh."
"If it makes you feel any better chief, most of the other clans are sending their heirs." Gunnlaugr says before walking away.
Stoick watches him as he leaves. "That's what I'm worried about." He said to himself.
A week later the clans were meeting at the usual meeting ground. "Order, order." An elder says silencing the bickering Chiefs.
Gunnlaugr was walking with Hiccup through the halls. "So how do you think they will vote?" Hiccup asks.
"I already informed them of you being the leader of the riders of Berk and they know without the dragons then we have a very bad chance of succeeding." Gunnlaugr says.
"In other words you manipulated the chiefs." A female voice says behind them.
"Ah, good to see you again Vilkatla." Gunnlaugr says as they turn around to see a teenage black hair female viking carrying a bow.
Hiccup looks to her. "Who's she?"
"The heiress to the Yorbenda clan or as we are better known as the sharp shooting clan." Vilkatla answers.
Hiccup raises an eyebrow. "Sharp shooting?"
"It means they are the best archers around." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup looks to him. "I know that, it's just surprise me how they survived when dragons were still attacking."
"We always find a way. My clan has its poisons and her clan has their shooting expertise. They also know where the weak points on dragons are." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup shakes his head. "Just keep your aim on the right targets."
Vikartla chuckles. "And here I was expecting a strapping young lad, but instead I get a toothpick."
"Watch it Vikartla, he is the one who proposed this and without him and his dragon and riders, the whole thing falls apart." Gunnlaugr reminds.
Vikartla raises her hands. "Okay, fine, I'll back off. Remember though, my arrows kill when launched."
"Just keep your clansmen inline, we will be going in unknown territory. Last thing we need is to fight each other." Hiccup says.
Vikartla grins. "Just don't do anything crazy."
"So where are the other heirs?" Gunnlaugr asks.
Vikartla nods her head to the door behind them. "Out in the courtyard. Apparently we are still considered young to deal with the summit."
"Then this is a good way to show we can stand on our own and helpfully not be like our parents and just yelling in there." Gunnlaugr says walking to the door with the others.
Vikartla nods. "True, they would rather bump heads than at least speak anything or rather yell a battle cry in their face, in fact that's the closest to talking."
"Oh that's right, Hiccup here has never met the others, let's introduce him to his fellow future chiefs." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup looks shocked. "I think it should wait until I'm not a fishbone anymore." He said nervously.
Vikartla giggles. "Come on, it might be fun." She said dragging him by his arm.
"They will meet you on the expedition anyways. Besides one of them is dying to meet the dragon master." Gunnlaugr says throwing the door open.
Vikartla throws him outside as Gunnlaugr closes the doors behind them. Hiccup stumbles before falling face first into the fountain in the middle of the courtyard. He pops back up and shakes the water off of him.
"This is our leader?" A large boy says with a large great sword on his back.
"I expect more from the son of Stoick." A girl says sitting on the rim of the fountain.
"Don't underestimate him. That is the dragon master and slayer of the Red Death." Said another sharpening his axe with a whetstone.
Hiccup steps out of the fountain and takes off his vest. "I'm not that good."
"You did accomplish all of that." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup wrings the water out of the vest. "Yeah, but I still lost a foot in the end."
"And has any viking ever killed a creature that big before?" The one sharpening his axe asks.
Hiccup shakes the remaining water off of his metal foot. "Not really."
"Then you're already more accomplished than all of us." The one with the great sword says.
Hiccup places his vest back on. "I still hate the fame now."
"Alright you three, this is the first time you have met him so introduce yourselves." Vikartla says.
"The name is Aldulfur, I'm the heir to the Vladimere clan. We are renowned for our great physical strength." The one with the great sword says.
The girl on the fountain gets off and goes to them. "I'm Askatla, heir to the Tretanors clan. We are renowned for being the masters of wood and metalwork."
The teen sharpening his axe stops. "And I'm Eldnarr, only child to the Quadifer clan's chief. We are renowned for our speed and dual weapon wielding."
Hiccup sighs as he adjust his metal prosthetic. "Hiccup, heir to the Berk clan. And we switch from fighting dragons to training them."
"Now the next generation of that is now fully introduced." Eldnarr says.
Hiccup looks to him. "What do you mean by that?"
"He means each of us is the heir to each of our individual clans. For a smart one you're not very bright are you?" Askatla says carving a piece of wood.
Hiccup huffs. "You try being alone and fitting in."
"Now, now, no fighting, we are going to be the six heading up this expedition and the reason why we are doing this together is because not one of our clans alone can do this." Gunnlaugr says.
Everyone nods and murmurs in agreement while Hiccup went off to the side. "So what's the plan if they do agree?" Eldnarr asks.
"You mean when they agree. If Gunnlaugr arranged this then they will go along with it. He may not look it, but he is very good at manipulating others and they usually get something out of it." Aldulfur says.
Everyone snickers as Gunnlaugr becomes embarrassed. "It's just easy once you figure it out. And it's simply give them what they want and safety that will hold in some way before it all."
"Right, so to answer your question. We will be sending a fleet of ships with supplies and materials and your clan's first job will be to have your dragons carry the ships through the mist so we can bypass the reef." Vikartla says.
Hiccup nods. "Yes, but we are going to need time to set up the dragons and it will be a lot of dragons if we have a large fleet."
"We don't expect to get far with this in a short time. We are going to take it slow because we don't know anything about this island other than it's big and the reef and cliffs make it inaccessible by ships." Eldnarr says putting away his axe and unsheathes his sword and starts sharpening it.
Vikartla expression turns grave. "How far have we mapped the island?"
"Besides the cliffs?" Eldnarr asks.
"Just an outer ring of it. I need to measure how much distance it is." Vikartla clarifies.
"Far bigger than any of our main settlements island." Gunnlaugr says.
Vikartla sighs. "That's what I feared. But if the island is big then there must be rivers flowing through it and we can travel by there instead of roughing it the whole way."
"Hopefully, but it might be a barren wasteland like Outcast Island." Askatla says.
Hiccup stiffens at the name. "Hiccup, are you okay?" Vikartla asks seeing him freeze up.
"Yeah I'm fine, just some bad memories of that place." Hiccup says.
Everyone looks to him in worry before going back to their own talk. Vikartla picks up where they left off. "Well it could or it could not. Either way we may find something on it."
"Since we don't know pretty much anything we will have to play it by ear." Eldnarr says.
"We do know one thing." Aldulfur says. Hiccup's interest perks up at the sound of it.
"Oh yes, that is right, the human like dragon." Gunnlaugr says.
They all soon turn to Hiccup. He just looks between all of them. "What are you looking at me for?"
Vikartla shuffles her feet a bit. "Well you know dragons, any advice?"
"It is completely unknown to us as well." Hiccup says.
Everybody groans. "Well that's gone, what else have we got to go on?" Aldulfur asks.
"Almost nothing. That is why we are preparing for anything." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup sighs and gets up to head to cliff's edge of the courtyard. 'Why did I chose map making as my excuse?'
A sudden roar captures his attention. "What was that?" Vikartla asks reading her bow.
"Sounds like a dragon." Aldulfur says bringing out his great sword.
Everybody readies their weapons while Hiccup sighs in despair as he stares out past the cliff into the ocean. "You took the automatic fin didn't you?" He asks rhetorically as Toothless flies from below the cliff edge and land down beside him. "Toothless, I thought I told you to stay back home."
"It's ok, that's Hiccup's dragon." Gunnlaugr says pushing Vikartla's arrow down.
Vikartla looks to him in shock. "He got a night fury?!"
"Yeah, I was surprised to." Gunnlaugr says.
Hiccup sighs as he looks to Toothless and then her tail. "Who did your tail?" Toothless just nudges Hiccup as the other heirs go back to doing what they were doing. "You really are making me worry, you know that right?" Toothless moans as she keeps nudging him. "Okay, I get it, you miss me, but that doesn't mean you fly to me from the ship." Toothless moans some more and pushes into him and holds there. "Okay, just don't do that again and especially at a summit. Who knows what will happen?" He said scratching her head.
"I wonder how is going in there?" Aldulfur asks.
"We need the resources! Not your clan, you have enough!" One of the chief yells.
"We don't even know if there are resources that you want there." Another says.
Stoick slams his hand on the central table. "Enough! We need to know what is out there first and then we can talk about it and see where it leads."
"I for one agree with Stoick on this one. What use is there in arguing over something we don't know about or the risks in getting it?" A bored chief says flipping to the next page in his book.
Another chief sharpens his axe. "I agree with that logic so don't make that reason again."
"The real reason we are here is because Stoick doesn't want to send his heir like the rest of us are doing." The sixth chief says stringing a bow.
"Then who do you send that's also can ride dragons and ready to face death Stoick?" Another asks looking over a map.
"Not the point!" Stoick yells.
"Lay off him he is just being an overprotective father. That is why his heir has never came to a summit till now." The chief sharpening his ax said.
Stoick sighs and brings a hand to his head. "He's right. It's just news of another dragon that's got me worried. As soon as he hears those words he goes off and finds it."
"I've heard rumors that your clan has discovered a few new type of dragon already, so what is the problem with this one?" The one reading a book asks.
Stoick prepares to give the reveal. "It's probably a human like dragon."
"I wouldn't believe everything my son says." The book reading chief says.
They look over to him. "And why's that?" The one looking at the map asks.
"He is very good at manipulating people." The book reading chief says.
Stoick shakes her head. "Then explain the ship."
"I said not all of it, I believe they were attacked just skeptical it was a human like dragon." The book reading chief says flipping the page.
Stoick sighs. "Then what saved them?"
"I will believe a dragon, but unless I see it myself I will not believe a human like dragon." The book reading chief says.
Stoick then looks around every chief. "So who are in favor of this expedition?" All five hands raise. "Then let's go back to our islands and meet back here with our fleets and then figure out what to do next after that." Stoick then heads out and looks for his son, leaving the other chiefs.
Stoick walks out into the courtyard to see the six heirs of the clans.
"Hiccup." Stoick calls out.
Hiccup turns away from Toothless and heads to him. "Bye guys." He said to the others with Toothless following.
"Seems the plan is a go. Remember guys come prepared for anything even something like the Red Death." Gunnlaugr says walking off.
Vikartla sighs and heads to the meeting room to pick up her father. "Well let's get ready for the adventure of a lifetime, if it is one."
"I'm looking forward to this." Aldulfur says walking away.
Eldnarr sighs and plucks a hair from his head and let's it fall onto his blade and watches as it spits in two. "I think we all are." He said getting up and leaving.
Askatla gets and stretches before getting her father. "Well the dragon might be an experience."
Hiccup watches as they either follow him and his father and Toothless or getting their father and chief. He looks to his father who has a rough expression. "So how did it go?"
"Well you and the rest of the riders are going by conscience of the majority." Stoick says.
Hiccup hums. "And you and the rest of the chiefs?"
"I'm going to need something for this headache so the usual. But surprisingly, it was more peaceful without the Berserkers." Stoick says.
Hiccup smiles. "Okay the ice block and a quick mission brief with the riders. I can do that."
"Not just your riders, I'm sending Gobber and a few warriors." Stoick says.
Hiccup's smile falls. "You don't have anybody in mind do you?"
"I will be choosing carefully." Stoick says.
Hiccup sighs in relief. "Good, because some would rush head first."
"It obvious that the heirs will be the ones looked to for leadership. So I will make sure they know you are in charge of them." Stoick says.
Hiccup nods. "They better or this will be one short expedition."
"Just take care of yourself son." Stoick says as they reach their ship.
Hiccup climbs into the boat. "It's not me I'm worried about." The ship then casts off for Berk.
A week later the ship arrived back at Berk. Stoick called a meeting in the great hall, but told Hiccup to meet with the riders alone and inform them off what transpired.
Hiccup stands in front of a cloth showing the unfinished map. "Okay, does everyone get the plan?" He asks riders.
"So we don't get to destroy the ships?" Tuff asks.
Hiccup glares at her. "No there is no destroying stuff. We are there to collect and observe. Not kill and destroy."
"Ah, come on that is boring." Snotlout says.
Astrid grins. "You really want to leave the twins here, with your weights?" Snotlout goes quiet. Astrid chuckles as she wins again.
"I'm so fascinated we will be seeing an island that no one has explored before." Fishlegs says.
Hiccup nods. "Just one thing guys. Watch out for the supposed human like dragon."
"You want to train it don't you?" Astrid asks.
Hiccup shakes his head. "No, because usually human like means it could be reasoned with."
"And you want to train it." Fishlegs says.
Hiccup groans. "No, talk with it."
"So does that mean one of us get it, if we find it first?" Snotlout asks.
Hiccup sighs and looks to the map and marks the supposed encounter spot. "No, by the looks of things it has a territory, which means we just see what it is and leave it be."
"Oh, do you think it will blow something up?" Ruff asks.
Hiccup smiles. "Maybe, it supposed to shoot lightning."
"Wow that is awesome." Tuff says.
"Hiccup you and Toothless best be careful, remember what it was like when you two got hit by lightning?" Astrid asks.
Hiccup slouches. "Don't remind us. Especially when they blamed her for it." Toothless moans in agreement.
"For some reason the lightning was attracted to her tail. So try avoiding it." Astrid says.
Hiccup nods. "Yeah, we better."
"So should we get a few more dragons to help with the boats?" Fishlegs asks.
Hiccup looks to the dragons on top of the arena cage. "Yeah, I already did it once, but they need to remind and we need more rope, tough rope."
"So we should just prepare?" Astrid asks.
Hiccup smirks. "You guys prepare, I need to work on some stuff." He walks away, leaving the arena with Toothless.
And that's the first one, be ready for more.
