The Storm
"Great"-Hiccup thought-"The Gods must be having fun playing with my destiny"
Hiccup threw a sigh as if accepting his destiny to failure, while he started to look for supplies, he would need everything he could find while they were still in land.
When he finished packing all he could find in his room and was going to the forge to pack some tools that might come handy during their travel he found an incredible surprise. Astrid, the almost blond perfect Viking was waiting outside the forge.
"Hi"- Said Hiccup in a shy voice, the only response he got from Astrid was a pair of rolling eyes as if saying"Not him please".
"Did you needed anything?"- Continued Hiccup not expecting a good answer while opening the forge.
"Ahg"-Said Astrid-" I just need my axe sharpened, but if Gobber is not around I think I will just have to do it myself"
"I can do it"- Said the boy in an indignated voice, he might be useless at almost everything but smithing was one thing he was proud of.
Astrid didn't expected a response from Hiccup, Hiccup the useless was talking back, she was surprised, and even a little angry, but she saw that he had confidence in what he said.
"Well"- said Astrid in a more relaxed voice- "I suppose it's alright if you don't break it"
Hiccup ignored the last comment and started with his work, the axe was old, one could easily tell that it was her first axe and that it would break in about a year or two, maybe even three if you sharped it with care.
Astrid could see the focus in Hiccup's eyes, she didn't even care about not hearing a response of her comment in a couple of minutes her axe was ready for another round, it looked almost as if it were a new axe.
"Thanks"- Said Astrid without any emotion showing in her voice or face
Hiccup was not expecting this, he was expecting more of an angry face as he always did
"You're welcome"- Said Hiccup after a few seconds when he broke out of his confusion.
Hiccup and the others were already in the docks getting everything ready as the last light of the day faded away. The boys were putting their stuff in the boat, everyone had different things, Fishleg had packed some fish roads and a couple of maps, just in case they needed, Snotlout just brought a spare helmet the twins had a mysterious bag which no one really wanted to know what was inside, Astrid had her axe that was more of a charm because Gobber was in charge of providing the food and the weapons.
When they were ready to sail there was a strong wind-"Looks like there's a storm coming"- Said Fishleg with the common fear that was always heard from his voice-"Maybe we should wait till tomorrow"- he continued
"No, this will be part of the training too"-Said Gobber with a smile as if a storm coming was a something he had hoped to happen-"lets get into the sea already, the sooner we go the sooner you become real Vikings"- And with that said they headed south of Berk.
The storm was bigger than Gobber though, he was expecting some wild winds an big waves but what he was seeing was the worst storm Berk had ever seen in at least 10 years, he knew that a boat like the one they had would survive without a scratch, the problem was the teens, this was their first sail alone, and even with Gobber's orders they didn't knew what to do.
"Scratch!"
A huge wave had send them against a rock, luckily the boat took almost no damage, but the hit was strong enough to send Astrid, Who was trying to secure all the weapons, flying into the ocean. Hiccup was the first to see her flying in the sky, he took a rope and threw it to her, Astrid grabbed the rope with ease but as if the gods thought Hiccup was having too much luck they made him trip and loose his balance and fall into the ocean as well.
Gobber made a lot of tries to save them, but all of them ended in failure. There hadn't passed an entire day and he had already lost two people, and the son of the chief no less, this sure was bad.
