A flash of red, and a beastly roar were the only things he remembered from his dream when he woke up wildly and covered in sweat. His breath came in jagged, short gasps that were drawn struggling. He slowly stood up from his makeshift bed and felt the cold air cooling down his body. And while Hiccup Haddock looked into the dark of the night, he knew one thing: apperently the news he heard worried him more than he hoped it would.

It was certainly not going well for Astrid Hofferson that day. Another raid had taken place, and the village was tired. Berk was at it's end, and on a worse note, the best warriors would go away the next day to go on another hopeless search for the Nest. She looked down at the dirt and listened to the soft sounds the night, wich had almost come to its end, made. She climbed over a boulder, went through a passage mother nature had created and climbed down to the lake. She tiredly walked to the edge of it, and stood there, completely numb. First she let her axe fall, her body soon followed, downed by harsh reality and gravity. She sighed and shook her blonde hair out of her eyes. Her shoulders sagged. Another raid.

*flashback*

The smell of burnt wood was in her nostrils, the sound of screaming and crying in her ears, the sight of dragons and vikings fighting eachother in her eyes and the feeling of despair in her heart. The village couldn't take it anymore, not for much longer. The supplies were drained.

A dragon drained yet another viking of his life.

The people were exhausted.

She ran towards it, her muscles were tired and burning.

The village didn't even have time to rebuild the houses.

She passed a house with a burning roof.

The decisions of their once great chief were mad.

She lifted her axe, and let out a fierce battle cry, her hoarse voice lost in the growls and screams of pain.

The village wouldn't survive this.

She jumped, and swung her axe.

The village was dying.

Thump. Numbly she turned around and ignored the head of the monstrous nightmare that was rolling over the ground she just killed.
