A/N: Aaah! Writer's Block finally gone! We are almost done with this story. Time to meet Eret and fight the Red Death.
The First Battle
Stoic's p.o.v
I was preparing for war. Well, we already are in war, so more like preparing for battle. I was going through the checklist with those that are going with when Valka and Greta came over.
"Hey Stoic! Hi Spitelout, Rollin, Asmund, Phil, Ack, Alma, Sven, Mulch, Bucket, and Gobber." Valka eagerly greeted everyone. Greta just gave Phil a quick kiss.
I smiled at her enthusiasm, "Hey Val dear. Good day Greta. Do you two need anything?"
Greta smiled, "Good day chief. Just wondering if you heard from the others on locating Hiccup's tribe yet?"
Now that I think about it, both ladies had hidden crossed fingers behind their backs. Same thing with the men and all the passerby's. I grinned, "Well Bertha found a dragon friendly tribe…" my grin got bigger has everyone's faces fell, "but they don't ride them or speak their language. That and their chieftess claims that they aren't missing any children."
Everybody brightened at that. I just hope that Hiccup's tribe won't mind visitors. We all got attached.
Hiccup's p.o.v the Next Day
Stoic and a bunch of warriors left on dragon back to fight the Red Death and end this war once and for all. I was looking through a book on dragons that needed updated badly. While Astrid was chasing a flirting Snotlout with an axe. The twins were… having a staring contest? I don't get them.
"We probably should add that Gronkles are also the most sensitive of the dragons." Fishlegs excitedly whispered to me. I don't know why he is whispering, everyone knows we are discussing how the book needs updated. And the only others in the cove are the swimming dragons.
"Hey 'Legs? No need to whisper everyone knows what we are up to." I reminded my friend, bouncing slightly with excitement.
Stoic's p.o.v
When we arrived at the nest, the dragons got out all their families and friends. After that we blasted the mountain wide open. This ends today.
Hiccup's p.o.v
This was all Barf's and Belch's idea. We are now running around the forest playing hide and seek. I forgot who is it. Wait, that's Astrid yelling at the twins that she sees them, okay Astrid's it!
Stoic's p.o.v
I wonder if Cloudjumper mentioned that the Red Death is the size of a mountain and Hiccup forgot to translate, or if Cloudjumper forgot to mention it. Gobber, me, and two dragons; one being Skullcrusher, the other is his friend Grump are acting as bait while everyone else gets into position.
Hiccup's po.v
Somehow we convinced Valka to let us eat our lunch on the big grassy hill just outside the village. Next to it is a haunted cottage that Snotlout claims Mildew lives in. Laying on my back, I started to call out the shapes in the clouds. Soon everyone, including the dragons, are copying me. I couldn't help a giggle that escaped.
Stoic's p.o.v
We did it. A thunderdrum and deadly nadder shot the Red Death in the mouth. Killing it immediately. There was no casualties, if you don't count the Red Death which we don't. Cheering, we all went to our new dragon friends. Maybe now the war is over with we can finally follow our instinct to ride dragons…
Hiccup's p.o.v
"Hiccup! Time to head home!" Valka shouted, smiling warmly at the teens with their dragons.
I grinned, "Okay Valka! Be there in a sec!" at that, I looked up at the sky. The sun was setting!
"Whoa, I guess the saying is right! Time does fly when having fun!" I turned to face Toothless.
Toothless smiled shyly, "Yea! It sure does! Umm, Hiccup? Cloudjumper knows we're orphans and she asked me if I'd like to be her son…"
I threw my arms around Toothless and laughed, "That's great bud! Though, I don't think you should call her Cloudjumper…" I smirked at his crestfallen face, "I think you should call her mom!"
"Boys!" Cloudjumper and Valka both shouted in unison. Laughing, we raced our way home.
Eret's p.o.v
I know deep down that Dad and his coworkers will still turn the kid in. I won't. All the time I knew the kid he never laughed, never smiled! But spying on him today, I know when the lady said time to go home, he was already there. I'm not going to take that away from him. Now to convince Dad…
