Sorry for the delay of this chapter, got distracted with things so sorry about that, anyways this is the newest chapter so far. And the outfit my character will be wearing is the one of the Valka wore in How to train your dragon 2, but know that there will be a lemon scene, only for one chapter and that's it for this story, and know that I don't own neither the movie or game of Skyrim, all rights goes to their respected creators.

Chapter 2- Strangers master craftsmanship, Wisdom of the experienced

(Two days later, Arwens pov)

I slowly started to wake up with a massively painful headache, along with my sights of vision being a little blurry but could see that I'm no longer in the water and in a house, in a bed with no mattress under me but layers of blankets on top keeping me warm, but also realized that I wasn't in my armor, but in clothes made of leather and fur from the top of my chest, all the way down to my ankles. And along with my armor, both my bag and ebony swords where to be found, but I was also feeling very weak and very nauseated which means I'm possibly sick right now, and I won't be sble to fully recover for the time being. But then I now felt something hot ready to come out and burst out of me, something hot in my stomach and it was coming out fast. So out of fear and desperation, I quickly held it in, trying to find something in the room I'm in to let it out and found a metal bucket next to me and grab it close to my face and let it out, throwing it all out of my stomach and by the Talos and the other gods this was the worst pain I had ever felt in my life. I fought powerful dragons, I went toe to toe with the Miraak and bended his will of wanting to fight me in order to save him from mr. To many eyes and tentacles and changed his life forever, I went against The mighty Ebony Warrior who happened to be a Red-guard not a Nord and was also my father, I even thought getting slammed in the stomach by a werebear was painful enough but this pain, it definitely out beats the werebears strength and it won't stop hurting so badly that I'm praying for it to stop. I did it again and again until thank Talos it finally stopped, coughing out the last amount of it as I start to feel cold, as if the heat from my body was leaving me. I could imagine me looking in the mirror to see how pale I am right now, almost like a vampire, but thankfully that won't be possible not when I am The Lord of The Full Moon so my immunity to sickness is very strong and won't be sick shortly, I hope. I then heard a few a door open and prepared myself for if anything is about to happen, I'll be ready for it, even though I swore that I would never kill again, I will be ready for it if it comes to that.

(Normal pov)

"Let's see how our guess is doing 'ey hiccup", Gobber asked confident in the medicine he brew with the new herbs and flowers he found secretly in the strangers bag and made them together in the small pot of boiling water as they enter inside the house, with hiccup close behind to close the door and being very cautious... somewhat.

Hiccup: "Gobber we need to be careful, we barely know who this stranger is and where she came from or if her tribe is looking for her by now...*earning an annoyed glare* or how she would possibly react when she wakes up and sees us".

Gobber: "Hiccup my boy, you really worry too much, don't forget I treated a lot of patients besides Gothi, and the most dangerous patient I had ever treated the last time was your father...especially when someone tries to wake up him up from his sleep and almost ends up finding themselves having a axe planted in there heads".

Both of them quivered with fear as they felt a chill to the spine from the thought of it for that's what's going to happen when you try to wake up a chieftain like Stoik-The Vast, and thank Odin Hiccup doesn't take it after him for he's too...well Hiccup to be like that. They then heard a husky female chuckle from upstairs which means the stranger was awake and there was no reason to be too worried about waking the stranger up now. They went up stairs to see the female warrior, who was now out of the blankets and sitting on the side of the bed in new clothes that Astrid put on her while she was unconscious putting leather brown boots on with a metal bucket next to her. "Oh, I can see your finally awake then", Hiccup said with a slight blunt in it causing the stranger smirk as she starts to get up from the bed, but then felt dizzy and was ready to fall but was stopped by Gobber and was laid back down.

Gobber: "Now, now hold on there lass, your not fully recovered from being stranded in the water and sick and should stay".

The stranger: "*moan* Yeah guess I'm not, how long was I unconscious for"?

Hiccup: "You were sleeping with a fever for about two days now".

The stranger: "Two days? Really that long"?

Gobber: "Yup, that long lass, and now you need to lay down until your fully recovered from that fever of yours with this brew Gothi and I made".

The female warrior just smiled, nodding in agreement not having the strength to argue and pulls the blankets over herself, while Gobber puts the brew medicine water next to her so she can breathe in the sweet, pungent familiar fumes to help her recover faster. "Come now Hiccup, let her rest now", the yellow mustached Viking whispered as he walks downstairs, only to trip on his wooden and roll down and then crash, shaking the whole house causing Hiccup to cringe a little and then hears, "I'm good, I think", and was now him walking carefully downstairs and help Gobber up and leave the house closing the door quietly. The Red-guard just chuckled and said one thing to describe the smell before falling back asleep, "Dragons-tongue".

(Another few days later)

Both Hiccup and this time Astrid went to his house again to recheck on the female warrior to see if she has fully recovered by now.

Astrid: "You think she's finally recovered by now Hiccup"?

Hiccup: "Possibly, Gobber did say the effects were better to help cure certain types of sickness to a certain point".

Astrid: "Well, she was in bad shape when we found her so I'm not really sure".

Once inside they headed upstairs to Hiccups room, only to find that she wasn't in the bed anymore which now started to scare them, not knowing where she could be or when she left without telling them. So they rushed back out, sprinting through the village.

Astrid: "Where could she be by now already"?!

Hiccup: "I don't know, but if anything happened to her, dad won't forgive me at all and not let me ride Toothless until first sign of spring".

And that would be very bad, especially for the Night Fury if the female warrior was nowhere to be found. After they checked almost everywhere in the air with both their dragons, they then stopped by at Gobbers shop to find him making strangely made black swords with a thin tint of blue. "Ah, morning you two", Gobber said with a smile once he looked up and continues what he was doing.

Hiccup: "Gobber, not to get off topic of why we're here, but what kind of metal are you using to make that sword"?

Gobber: "This here sword, is made up of metal known as ebony".

Astrid: "Ebony, what kind of metal is that"?

?: "I can tell you that it's far more enduring and much sharper then Gronckle iron and that it's heavier then steel".

The two young Vikings looked to their right to see the stranger Astrid and the others found while on there way to Berk in a blacksmith apron wiping her hands and face with a wet rag walking towards them. "You know I never got the chance to introduce myself to everyone that was here, the name's Arwen", she continued, "and I want to thank you both and everyone here for taking me in and then nursing me back to health, was kind of scared what might happen if you didn't swoop down and save me from being in the water for so long".

Astrid: "Your welcome".

Hiccup: "We always help those who look like their in desperate need for help".

Gobber: "A good thing to Hiccup, because you oughta see her skills with the hammer and the anvil of making weapons and armor. It's nothing like I've ever seen before, not to mention much harder to hit and make".

Hiccup just rolled his eyes, not sure what to say to that as continues where he left off.

Hiccup: "So what is it you know about this Ebony? Where did it come from"?

Arwen just chuckled as she picks the sword up from both ends to examine it before speaking again.

Arwen: "It's only found where in certain mines where I come from, and what I know about it would be that it's the strongest metal you could hope to find. So strong and so sharp that if it was a battle axe it will cut through an anvil if sharpened correctly, or if it was a shield, it would break a enforced steel sword. The metal of this blade is incredible though is it's weight, and like all metal it can break, beat it the wrong way, because it's not like steel, it's stronger then steel making it harder to craft that even some master blacksmiths have a hard time with this metal, hit it lightly can be too heavy if too thick or too wide and tall, hit it too hard and you'll ruin the blade. It's a hard to work with, but to me it's one of the best thing I had ever crafted in my life".

She then notices that Astrid holding one of the swords that was made just sometime ago examining it in awe as she tilts the blade to see the sun reflecting to show more beauty of the blade itself. "You want that one for keeps", Gobber asked scaring the young Viking a little before putting it back down.

Astrid: "Sorry, I didn't mean to-".

Arwen: "No no no, it's fine if your looking at it, I could see that look on your face that you really want that sword. How about this, if you can beat me in a sparring match you can have that sword, and from what I've been told about you is that your very competitive when it comes to stuff like this. So what do you say, sounds fair"?

Astrid thought about this hard but quick and nods with a challenging look, causing the war maiden to chuckle as she takes off her apron and walks inside to get her Ebony armor on. "Astrid are you serious, we haven't got the chance to know her well enough yet and your already accepting her challenge", Hiccup asked with a hint of caution in his voice.

Astrid: "Hiccup you know I don't turn down opportunities like this especially with a sword that is mentioned to be stronger and sharper then Gronckle iron, I got win it to try it out, I'll be okay".

Hiccup: "I only worry because we don't know what she is capable of, she might try to hurt you or someone else in Berk".

Astrid was about say something next but was stopped when she saw Arwen coming out in a full outfit of Ebony armor except for the helmet with two wooden swords and a Vikings shield. "So young lass, ready to earn your prize", Arwen said with a wink, and it was on, "Just know I won't be too easy on you".

(Dragon arena)

The two female warriors circled each other in a huge distance rounding around eight feet from each other, both in their stances waiting for the right moment to see who will make the first move Hiccup and the gang watched.

Fishlegs: "Well this might be interesting to watch".

Snotlout: "Huh, she doesn't look that tough I bet I could take her on, especially with Astrid around to see".

Ruffnut: *british professional accent talk* Hmm, the one called Snotlout claims he could win against this warrior isn't that right Tuffnut my dear brother".

Tuffnut: *reacts the same* Yes my dear sister, he claims he could defeat this outsider from a far, far away land. When he could never had defeated Astrid so what are his chances of winning against her sister".

Ruffnut: "Very low brother, very low indeed".

This only made Snotlout mad to the the point where he was going to hurt them both, but was stopped when Hiccup quickly said, "Hey guys cut it out you may never know, Snotlout could probably beat her if he wanted to".

Snotlout: "For once Hiccup, thank you for believing that I could since I am the most competitive warrior in the group besides Astrid".

Fishlegs: "Guess we will have to see after this then, if Astrid does beat her or not".

They went back to watching as they stopped circling each other and stood their ground, not removing their gazes towards one another. Astrid was having a hard time trying to figure out when Arwen was going to make her move so she could read her style but the war maiden in Ebony continues to not move, making her become inpatient but was unable to move as if something was telling her to not advance forward, tightening her guard which was very rare to see happened.

Fishlegs: "Woah, are you seeing what I'm now seeing Hiccup"?

Hiccup: "I do Fishlegs, it's the first time I've ever seen Astrid like this, she would've attacked by now, but instead she tightens her guard up, and that could mean only thing. I think Arwen is far more than experienced in combat, even Astrid could possibly lose".

Arwen begins to walk slowly towards the young Viking, using her size of being a foot taller while Astrid begins to back away with her guard still up and tight, never having to experience with this kind of pressure before. 'What kind of pressure is this, what's stopping me from making my move and-', her thoughts were cut as Arwen dashes forth and quickly strikes with her wooden sword to Astrids shield, with a force so strong and unexpected that it forced the young maiden sliding on her back a few feet away with her shield still up, surprising her and the rest of Hiccups group, even Snotlout was shocked without words to say, only stare with his mouth open. Astrid quickly gets up, making her battle cry as she was about charge, only to raise her shield back up again as Arwen strikes again but not as hard this time and continues the assault, showing no signs of restraint. Astrid tried her best to attack back but couldn't with the barrages of the sword slamming into her shield...and because she was scared of her. She then out of desperation, she tries to pushed her shield into Arwen, only to see her bounce back and dashed close where both of their faces were and then glares dangerously while now showing...RED EYES?! The maiden Viking now felt so scared, that she couldn't stop herself from staring at Arwen who now had brown eyes, when she could've swore that she saw red eyes. She then felt herself dropping both her shield and wooden sword, and falls to her knees and hands looking straight down at the ground. Arwen kneels in front of her seeing tears in her eyes and makes a gentle smile, pulling her hand out and place it on her face while the others couldn't see, she used her magic to calm her down. Astrid then looks up at her wondering what had happened. "You lost the fight, but you had learned something important today", Arwen gently spoke almost in a motherly way. Astrid then wipes the tears off her face, trying to take in everything that just happened moments ago as Arwen continues to speak.

Astrid: "You lost for many reasons my friend, your always so competitive and training yourself so hard everyday to keep yourself in shape to face what ever is yet to come and try to end the fight after a long while after trying to examine your opponents that doing those things maybe smart, but makes you blind to the pressure that was happening in the atmosphere like during our spar, you weren't desperate enough to take me on, you were too pressured to move. Not to mention you were so confident in your style of fighting that you never felt fear when facing someone like that you didn't know what it was like to stand down and take the lost. I went all out while you felt too pressured to make a move, so all this time it was about teaching you something that my master taught me...it was when to stand down and let someone take the win, and to stand down, and to know when to admit defeat when facing someone you never fought before and not face them when you can't win that fight alone unless you had no their choice, but don't be afraid to ask for help from someone who is with you. It was for those reasons that you lost but learned something from losing, and not only shows you when to stand down and let someone else have the glory for a change, but it makes you stronger that way and gives something to learn from on your own for now on...and because you are just like me when I was your age".

Astrid just stares at the maiden with an awe look on her face, but then looks down in defeat for she had lost both the match and the prize, only to hand lift her up by the chin to seeing the same smile Arwen was still giving. "And for that reason alone, you've earned your prize, the Ebony sword young Astrid", she finished off earning a gasp and then a hug from the young Viking hearing her cry on her armor shoulder plate. Arwen just smiles and returns the embrace helping her up from the ground not breaking the embrace, forgetting that the others were still watching. Hiccup and Fishlegs just smiled, the twins cried, while Snotlout was still staring with his mouth open and was now drooling a little bit which means one thing, someone needed to smack him now since he missed the entire event.
