That night when Ace made the promise to Astrid he had a dream, the 'vision', but this time it was different, Astrid was the only one laying death alongside her dragon Stormfly.

"ASTRID!" he yelled as he woke up."Damn not this again... Did I chance the vision? And more important, how did I do it...?"he thought."Was it the deal with Astrid, or the promise I made?"

The next day Astrid began to train again as she had told Ace the previous day. She was more determined than ever, probably because winter came earlier than expected and because, in winter, it was harder and more dangerous to hunt. A winter training was going to make her even stronger and more prepared for the upcoming trip.

"Astrid! Already starting the training?" Ace said trying to behave normally.

"Yes. Since it snowed the last night and I'm not used to train in winter I thought it was a good idea to train a little in the a little so don't be afraid, OK?" she answered as she hugged tightly her boyfriend and kiss him on the cheek.

"I'm not afraid! Worried, yes, afraid, never. I'm the leader of a team specialized in fight dragons with hand-to-hand combat." replied him kissing her on the lips. "So how nice do I have to ask you so that you'll let me come train with you?" he continued as he kissed her again.

"You can ask me how many times you want, the answer will be no every time." she answered as she started walking to the forest. "After I finish training let's go fly OK?"

"OK... But be careful!" Ace yelled before he left for the training session with his team.

Some hours later the young couple was flying through the clouds like nothing and no one could ever hurt them. After a short race between the two dragons that ended with a lost for Astrid the two viking took a break to let the dragons rest. They stopped on a small island near their own. Soon enough Ace noticed the wounds on Astrid's hands.

"Hey where did you get this from?" he asked worried as he grabbed her hand and pull up her shirt.

"I fell over a rock in the middle of the training because of some stupid ice but don't worry my mother said it's nothing serious." she answered as she was laying her head on Ace's shoulder.

"If your mother would see these she wouldn't let you go like this. I know you don't want me to worry bu still don't lie me." Ace said as he pulled out some bandages out of his bag and bandaged her hands.

"Sorry...But you worry to much for me and you don't think about yourself at all! What would happen if you get hurt? I wouldn't be able to do anything..." Astrid replied as she was burring her head into Ace's chest almost crying and hugging him tightly.

"I can't get hurt remember? And even if I do just having you by my side makes me feel better...Astrid..." she whispered as he was about to kiss her when the snow below then collapsed making them fall into a dark and cold cave.

It was a small cave and a dragon wouldn't been able to fit in it.

"Great! Just great! What's next?!"yelled Ace angry.

"Calm down dragons will find a way to pull us out of this." Astrid replied. In that some the dragons throw some woods and a big rock so the young and cold viking would be able to make a fire. "Thanks Stormfly, you too Raved! See Ace?" she continued.

"Yeah...but this won't last long, in some minutes we would freeze to death, well...you'll freeze to death..." said the young boy watching the fire that was already weak.

"I know...I'm sorry..." answered the blond girl as Ace was pulling her closer to him and hugged her very tight and strat kissing her.

As the two teenage viking'k kisses started to become more and more serious they forgot about the fact that they were in a cave and that their dragons where up looking at them.

In the morning the two dragons where beside their friends when they woke up.

"Morning guys...how did you get..." Ace stopped as he looked at the girl that was hugging him tight. "It's morning Astrid, wake up."he continued as he kissed her on the forehead.

"What?Already?Well,we better go back to the village."she answered as she pulled her lips onto his.

"Yeah..." the young leader said.

As they made their way back to the village they thought about what happened last night between them. It will be a night both of them will remember forever, it was the most beautiful night of their lives, it was...a winter experience.
