We have 4 more Tuesdays guys, 4 more Tuesdays until the Tuesday of Defenders of Berk! I was looking on my calendar and figuring out the amount of time its going to take to finish this story and Burdened Onus. I'd probably make it—that is if I post everyday—til the 25thof August. That leaves me with... 16 days until Defenders of Berk. Now if I come up with another idea after Burdened Onus then I'll be able to post that story and still make it in time for the new season.
Because of the new season, I want to start fresh and try to stick with the limitations of the show. So, for all of my stories that are written in the world of Riders of Berk, they will be made as a season. The only difference in doing so is that I'm NOT adding any of my OCs into these new stories of mine—I want to brake away from that. For example, whatever happened in It Comes At Nightnever happened in my future stories based in the world of Defenders of Berk.
What I'm trying to say from the above paragraph, all of my original ideas such as the snow berries, the Banshee, any of the minor "spare part" characters like Vincent or Svidi, they will not be included in my future stories and that also means my first season of stories never happened. Separate them, DO NOT connect the two, please. I don't know how much better I can explain this! If you have any questions pm me.
I have the first season stories listed on my profile, check it out if you're confused.
Also, Svidi does not have multiple personality disorder, she just acts differently around certain people due to trust issues and some personal gain. I know that would have been something else, but Svidi's just a minor fill in for the villains department.

"Snot...lout..."
"Snotlout..."
"Snotlout..."
Snotlout slowly pulled himself back into the conscious world, blinking a couple of times to adjust his eyesight and focus his blurry vision. From what he could see, he was in the Great Hall.
"Huh?" he asked groggily to the voice that was calling out his name.
"Hey, Snotlout; wake up!" Gobber said before slapping the boy across the face. That got his attention. Snotlout screamed, thinking it was another Berserker ready to kill him or put him in a world of hurt for running away. He jumped up and stood in a karate pose even though his closed eyes and squeamish look told anyone that he was far from threatening.
"Calm down Snotlout, its just me." Gobber said, not at all taken back by his sudden actions.
"Oh, Gobber," Snotlout sighed in relief, recognizing a friend. "Phew, I thought you were a threat."
"Don't calm down too much." Gobber replied, feeling insulted. "What happened to ya, why are you all—" Gobber paused, checking him out before coming to odds, "Well, actually no, you're always like that."
"Ugh, you'll never believe what happened to us." Snotlout began, taking in deep breaths.
"No, I'm pretty sure I have a good idea of what happened. I wasn't my intention... ah who am I kidding? It was my intention, but not like this." Gobber continued.
"The Berserkers, Gobber! They captured us on like the first day!" Snotlout informed him, though he already told him of his acknowledgment. "I told Hiccup we shouldn't have gone in the direction of the cove. It's all his fault!" Snotlout exclaimed the falsehood, but he couldn't keep the stature.
"I betcha it's not his fault." Gobber said with disbelief, shaking his head.
Snotlout let out a whine, "It's not his fault." Snotlout cupped his hands at his face, "Now the Berserkers are going to take him back to Dagur and who knows what is going to happen to him."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Run that by me again."
The Great Hall's doors burst open and Stoick the Vast marched in. Most of the time, he was calm, but his slightly fast pace and angered look said otherwise.
"The Berserkers aren't talking, so I locked them up with the other one. Don't feed them for three days." The chief commanded while approaching Gobber and Snotlout. His face was serious and held a secret fear. He looked at Snotlout sternly,
"Snotlout..." Stoick left the question go, knowing very well that Snotlout could pick it up with out needing it completed.
"We fell right into a Berserker trap, okay! How many times must I say it, it was embarrassing enough the first time!" Snotlout said defensively. Stoick slowly turned his head over to Gobber, his flat expression never leaving his face. He just stared at Gobber, contemplating on whether or not to kill the man. Eventually, he turned his attention back to Snotlout.
"Snotlout, where are Hiccup and the others?" Stoick asked, half willing to work with the kid.
"I don't know, we got separated before I escaped. Alls I saw was Svidi and Vangar taking Hiccup in the opposite direction that we were going."
"Who?" Gobber asked.
"Their hot leader and the other I think is second-in-command." Snotlout replied.
"We have to find them," Stoick looked at Gobber, "And quick."
"I've already got plenty of scouts out there."
"Plenty is not enough! This is my son we're talking about Gobber!"
Snotlout shrunk a little, "I think I better leave." he tipped-toed away from his previous spot and half ran out the door.
"I know Hiccup's your son Stoick, I'm not blind! I didn't lose an eyeball too!"
"This was all your idea." Stoick replied angrily, moving away a step or two to better contain himself.
"You agreed! I don't even care what percentage it was, you agreed with me!"
"WELL THEN I SHOULDN'T OF!"
"WELL THEN I SHOULDN'T OF COME UP WITH THE IDEA!"
The Great Hall was silent again as both men just paused and looked down at the floor. They glanced at one another,
"Gobber, what are we doing?" Stoick asked in a softer tone.
"We're screaming at each other."
"Why?" The question was pretty obvious to both of them.
"Because we're afraid." The two looked at each other again, apologies evident on their expressions.
"You know what we should be doing..."
"Banging some Berserker heads together..." Stoick smiled at the idea.
Gobber placed his hand on Stoick's shoulder, "Come on Stoick, let's go get them back."
Hiccup was lead out of the forest and onto the beach, his prosthetic sinking a little further down in the moist sand then his right foot. His heart was racing, thinking the Berserkers had somehow found a boat and was leading him to it. Turning out that wasn't the case, his heart still didn't rest as he was shoved off towards the water, the three going as far as ankle deep in the flowing tide.
"Where are you taking me?"
"Shut up and keep moving." Hiccup was shoved towards a group of large rocks. He recognized the place as Death's Hollow. It was a spot on Berk's beach where during the high tide, the entire caves would be flooded. The caves held a good deposit of iron ore, being one of the hot spots for Gobber and him to go mine additional iron for the forge. The only way to enter the caves would be when the tide subsided.
The three entered the small cavern, the water reaching up to their ankles. Hiccup's mind began to race almost as fast as his heart; due to the circumstances and knowledge of the place, he had every right to be worried.
Vangar grabbed his right arm and hauled him up onto a small rock, a wooden stake firmly lodged in between it and the wall. Vangar tied him tightly to the post, having him standing up just in case. Hiccup's head was barely touching the ceiling of the small cavern, the reason for that, Hiccup really didn't want to think about.
Then, the two of them turned to leave.
"Wait! You can't leave me here! The tide will come in!"
"Our intentions aren't to kill you, Hiccup. But if your father really loves you, then we'll get what we want." Svidi answered, her echoing voice being the last he heard of them before they disappeared around the corner and out of the cavern.
The only sound he heard was his own quickened breathes and the rushing water that came pooling in. And to make matters worse, the only was out was where the water was coming in.
To be continued...
Well, I think that's a good place to pause. Sorry about the huge author's not at the beginning.
Agdoll95, to answer your question you posted with your comment; the only reason I can think of for your account not working is that when you create a Fanfiction account, you have to wait 2 days before it becomes active. You typed that review on the 6th, I just got it today, so it should allow you to log on now.
