Chapter 4: awakening
It had been a good day, the sun was bright and not a single cloud had stained the blue sky. Most importantly, the Eruptodon was still how the day had changed though, and Dagur knew who was the cause of it. He had been sitting in the huge wooden structure that housed his two dragons, Shattermaster and Sleuther. Mala still didn't have a dragon because her people forbidden dragon riding. Only Dagur, the king was allowed to ride since he wasn't brought up with these customs. Dagur had been with his two dragons, talking and rubbing them, loving them with almost as much strength as he loved his wife, and Queen of the tribe, Mala. During this loving time with his dragons, something happened, something big. Both his dragon's eyes suddenly stared straight ahead and, seemingly on a trance, took off. Dagur had chased them and called out to them, pleading them to stop.
They didn't listen.
Mala came through the a side door and called out to her husband.
"Dagur, the Eruptodon, it's-"
She saw his two dragons flying out the door, and despair settled over her.
"Dagur, where are the dragon going?"
"I don't know Mala, they just suddenly left, too fast for me to even catch them."
Dagur was on his knees, looking at the door where the dragons left as if he could will them back. Mala took long strides to crouch next to him, putting an arm over him in comfort. She knew how much the dragons had meant to him, they had been the means at which he met her, and nothing she could do would bring them back.
"I know who took them, only one person has the power to," Dagur whispered fiercely to Mala.
"Who?"
"Hiccup. Only Hiccup and his night fury could do this."
"They would be the death of our homes."
"Yes, yes he would. I don't know what he's doing but only he could do it."
A strange gleam entered Dagur's eyes which Mala picked up on immediately.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm just going to go lay him a wee visit, have a wee chat and hopefully get the dragons back."
I had been quite some time since he had spilled blood, he didn't want to start again. Hopefully Hiccup would be able to give back the Eruptodon before it was too late, and his two dragons as well.
"Mala, get your best warriors and get some boats ready, it's going to take a long time to reach Berk so plz have lots of provisions. Everyone else should be put to use helping this place keep alive as long as you can. Mala, promise me that if it seems to risky to stay on the island, get off. I don't want to come back to find you and ours homes both dead."
"I know Dagur."
Dagur stood up, new conviction in his mind. They would set sail tomorrow, but even he didn't know when they would return.
"So, Heather, how did you reach us so fast, especially by boat?" Astrid was curious to the answer.
"Because I went to visit you guys on Berk but when I reached the island it was bare. No one was living there. Then Windshear had flown off as if in a trance."
The celebrations had finished and it was late at night. Hiccup was out talking to Gobber about something and had left Astrid with Heather.
"What am I going to do?"
"What do you mean?"
"Without Windshear, I don't have anything to do."
"You could stay with us at Berk, we could get a house for you and you can do whatever you like."
The huge, heavy oak doors slammed shut from the entrance to Astrid's house.
"That's Hiccup," Astrid got up to greet her husband.
Heather stood up as well and both of them went to the sound of muffled steps. They stepped through the door and saw Hiccup hurrying to them.
He wore a worried expression.
"Astrid, Heather, we have a problem."
I have to win the 'evilest writers award' for this cliffhanger ending. Try taking a guess at what's wrong. If I get any facts wrong about this franchise then tell me and I'll try to fix it unless it changes the entire story. Thx for the support and any questions you have I will answer to the best of my abilities (if it's about this or any other of my stories).
