THE JOURNEY AFTER

Sup!

Oh look, it's Tuesday. Let's play a game and see what day it is when I actually post this!

Also, I realised that I some numbers in brackets in the last chapter and I neglected them!

Anyway, (1) was when Stoick called the Table of Kings pillocks. I may have stolen that from James May, but I can imagine him calling them that!

(2) Was when (goes back to chapter to look up) Odin says to Valka that she has surely heard the stories about him. I can imagine that although the gods are respected, they are also blamed for any problems the Vikings may have, eg, and I almost quote "The gods hate me. Some people lose a mug or a spoon, but not me. I manage to lose an entire dragon!", so in turn, the Vikings look uo to them (sometimes), but they also think of them as cunning as well.

To the Doctor Who loving guest: Look, a possible update! I probably will write a fic for Doctor Who, and maybe even a crossover! Let time tell.

And ERMAGERD. 773 views. WTF IS HAPPENING?!

Anyway, on with the show (I'm sure this will continue down the bottom... again!)

Also, I'm gonna have to say this now before I forget (like the other 3 chapters). I actually have an Instagram account called AvocadoLLama. I know, same as my pen name, but that's the point. Anyway, I will be posting fandom pics and stuff for my fanfics as well! Tada

As soon as Odin finished his sentence, the hall went into uproar. This God was willing to bring back their former Chief?! It was extraordinary to say the least, but they couldn't help but wonder if it was a trick. When Hiccup agreed though, they were positively sure that it was the right decision.

Odin told Hiccup what to do, providing him with an amulet that dulled the pain and pointed to where the helmet was. The amulet was made of wood from the world tree, Odin explained, with seven roots for the seven realms. It was inlayed with several 'healing' gems, as the god described them, but it came with a consequence. Though the amulet dulled pain, the longer it was worn for, the more pain it would inflict when it was removed. An eye for an eye, Odin had said, or a leg for a leg as Hiccup had put it (1). He had explained that he could not go, as it was one of Hiccup's duties in the process of bringing his father back, one of many. What he had not said though was that old enemies would be awoken and new scars opened throughout the process, but who wanted to know that?

Hiccup and Toothless had left as soon as they could, only stopping to eat and for a quick rest whilst Gobber fixed Hiccup's prosthetic. After a long and un-avoidable goodbye with the village, they left, promising to be back before night struck. After all, the rest of the events had taken up the previous day, not to mention any leftover energy.

Sadly, the last known location of Stoick's helmet was at Valka's Dragon Sanctuary, where Drago was believed to be hiding in with his Bewilderbeast. The only time that anyone had returned there was when Toothless had swooped of, with Hiccup attached, after hearing a piercing cry. The duo had been gone for days, but when they were returned, all was soon forgotten. The white Bewilderbeast had survived the attack, only with some scrapes and bruises. Toothless had heard its cry, and even though it was not the Alpha anymore, he had responded. They had stayed for a few days, only to leave shortly after Toothless spotted Drago and the grey Bewilderbeast in the distance. Returning now made Hiccup even more anxious, knowing that Drago was there.

They flew for hours, hindered by the remains of the storm. Valka was particularly angry that the storm was about, but he had no idea why. Hiccup was adamant that they could circle the island for half an hour before they crept further in, looking at the possibility that the helmet had floated further outward. Unfortunately, that was not the case. As they drew closer to the island, the air became frigid and icy and the water was frozen in parts. This was worrying, as the Bewilderbeast shouldn't have enough strength, or food for that matter. Never the less, they moved further in, not expecting what was coming in the slightest.

.

It had been several hours since her boys had gone, but Valka hadn't had enough time to even think about them. The ritual that was going to bring Stoick back was difficult to say the least. It required at least one material from every island around them, including Eel Island. Fortunately, no eels had been consumed this time around, or touched by any dragons. Gronkle iron had been the main problem, as it took the several hours to formulate the mixture, with Valka's help of course. A list of supplies had been given to the riders, whilst Odin disappeared with Gothi, most likely to aid her in her healing knowledge.

After they had all returned, they placed the ingredients in the last place Stoick stood, in the centre of Berk, in between the large expanse of houses. Odin returned, arranging all the items, but suddenly stopping. He straightened up; turning towards the direction Hiccup and Toothless went.

"What is it?" Valka asked, fearing the answer

"They've arrived"

.

Toothless navigated around the twists and turn of the cave, eventually stopping and letting Hiccup lead him to the main ledge. It took awhile, but they made it, groaning and out of breath. Whilst they had a quick nap, it had been far from sufficient.

At the ledge was a sight for sore eyes. The grey Bewilderbeast stood before them, free from all chains and with only one tusk, and with a placid expression on its face. It made no move to attack them, only letting out a small puff of icy breath in their direction, making Hiccup cringe. So far so good, he thought, until a figure moved out from the shadows.

"Well well well, what do we have here?"

Drago Bludvist was back, and he meant trouble.

Quickly quickly before my parents make me go to bed!

Right, (1) was when Odin said an eye for an eye, and Hiccup changed it to a leg for a leg. Basically, it's just there because he lost his leg, not his eye.

I probably won't update on the weekend because I know I have history because I have sport (soccer!) on Thursday, and I have netball on Saturday, and then 7 hours of instrument on Sunday for our school production (Oliver :-P), so yeah.

Short chapter but what can you do? Anyway, hope you enjoy, review/favourite/follow etc, the usual.

I feel like I was going to say something else, but I forgot #rememberal

Peace out HTTYDians

IT'S STILL NOT A WORD! ARGHHHH!
