Heather boredly sat up, tapping her fingers on the bed frame. She had awoken the other day, to fidmnd out that she broke her leg and a few ribs.

Astrid walked in, a raised eyebrow. "You look happy." she said with a laugh and Heather stopped tapping her fingers and smiled, with a small roll of her eyes. "Of course I am." she said, sarcastically.

"How was your and Hiccups trip to the Northern Markets?" Heather questioned as Astrid sat down and gave her friend some healing herbs.

"Good-well, until..." she gestured to Hiccup, who was sitting on the edge of a platform, far away from them, yet you could still see his figure. "He heard some things about his father." Heather raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"He hasn't seen Stoick in five years, why would be care?" Astrids lips thinned and she looked back and watched Hiccup for a moment, before turning back to Heather.

"The things we heard...Stoicks changed, and I mean we've heard that before but never that he was so I don't know...violent?" Heather sighed and shool her head.

"It's Stoick, I mean, what is he going to do now? Go back? It's to late for that Astrid, you know it, I know it, Hiccup knows it."

"Does it matter? I mean Stoick wouldn't care! His son, his long-lost son is there." Astrid started ranting, but came to a sudden stop.

"What would he do if he found out that you guys befriended dragons? You guys left for a reason. Dont just throw that away because you hears some things from the Northern Market." Astrid was silent, thinking. Heather had a point.

Hiccup stood at the entrance of the hut. Astrid turned after hearing Toothless coo and smiled. "Hey Hiccup." he gave her a brief smile back and walked up to the two of them.

"We're going to Berk." Astrid looked over to Heather, her eyes were also wide. "Hiccup it's been five years and what would Stoick do if he-"

"We aren't talking to them, or in fact going near any of them. I just want to fly by it and see if all the things they say are true." Heather nodded and looked at the blonde before holding out her hand. Astrid grabbed it and helped her up.

"I don't agree with you...but I'll go." Astrid said and Hiccup sighed, running a hand through his hair and nodding. He wasn't exactly agreeing with himself either, but if he didn't find out then it would haunt him.

"You sure you want to come Heather?" Hiccup questioned, a worried glance on his face. Heather smiled at him and started walking over to Windshear. "If you guys are going, I am too."

Hiccup and Astrid looked at each other and smiled. "Astrid and I will get geared up, can you go get the dragons ready and at the stables?" Heather looked down at her arm and adjusted the cast as her two friends walked off.

(Hiccup and Astrids armor is the same as you see them wearing in the new HTTYD 3 trailer, with the dragons scales that match Toothless and Stormfly. And their normal attire is their outfits they have in HTTYD 2)

Once Heather got the dragons all ready to take off Hiccup and Astrid were ready to leave. "We can't take the chance of them noticing us." Astrid explained when Heather gave them a confused look.

By the time they got to Berk it was almost pitch black out. Hiccup flew over the sky while Astrid and Heather stayed near the woods. Stormfly and Windshear were out in the forest, hiding from sight completely.

Toothless flew down next to the two girls, but Hiccup didnt get off his dragon. "They captured another Nightmare." he said, but he sounded angry, something else was bothering him. Astrid wanted to pry but she tried to convince herself that it was simply just the Monstrous Nightmare.

"I...need to clear my head, you guys should free the dragon." he stated, and Toothless took off into the sky. "Weird." Heather muttered as she watched Toothless take off. Astrid was completely silent though, just watching the arena. She could hear the dragon scratching the walls and letting out a low cry. She winced.

"Here's the plan..."

Meanwhile

Snotlout and Fishlegs were walking back to their huts. When suddenly, Snotlout took his hand out and blocked Fishlegs frofrom moving anymore. "Snotlout what was that-" Snotlout put a hand over his friends mouth "Quiet Fishface." he whisper-yelled.

Fishlegs just nodded and he put his hand down. Snotlout started to inch closer but stopped once again, Fishlegs following his lead.

Snotlout pointed toward the arena, a girl with her hood up, and outfit make of silver spikes came over and started to open the cage up. "We should stop them." Snotlout said and started to run toward the arena, Fishlegs following closely behind.

"What do you think your-" Fishlegs was cut off by an armoured woman, she had a helmet on and suit was made up of blue and yellow dragon scales. An axe was pressed to his throat. Snotlout didnt notice it apparantly though, and didnt turn around.

He kept walking until he heard a grunt. He turned around and saw nothing. "Fishface?" he asked out, more of a whisper. Then he felt something sharp come up to his own throat.
