Chapter 10

Hey! sorry for the delay, but Thursday night was atrocious. A huge storm came out of no where. You would think it was a tornado but it wasn't, but that storm inspired this chapter so I hope you like it.

Dragons Rule

There was a light. Not just any light, it was the light of a Starlight Dragon. Hiccup was staring into the eyes of the creature itself, and all it did was stare back. He walked forward, slowly, extending a hand to touch it, it's irresistible face, but it disappeared into the darkness. Not a trace to it. He looked around hoping it would return, but it never did. Dark clouds suddenly grew over head, the stars vanishing beneath them. Rain suddenly pelted from the sky at lightning speed, hail not too far behind. Wind grew fierce and bit at him harshly. "Hiccup." The voice was hardly audible. "Hiccup!" It was louder but sounded far away. He attempted to go to it, but he collapsed.

"HICCUP! WAKE UP OR I'LL DRAG YOU OUT OF THAT BED!" He immediately sat up. He was in Jon's room with Marlyss standing over him. She wore a worried expression, and was soaking wet and her braid was a mess. He then registered that he too was wet and wind, rain, and hail was actually hitting him through the open window behind him, but not much. The room was a disaster, with water and a little hail in it, including furniture strewn around, a bit of paper here and there, some clothes on the floor, and the only other beings in there where Marlyss and Starlight, who had an equally worried look.

"We got to go! NOW!" Marlyss shouted with shouted urgency. The way she said it made him jump from the bed.

"What's happening?!" he shouted over the whistling wind that entered the room.

"Let's just say Deadly Storm! Now come on, we better hurry before it gets worst!" they then ran out of the room, down stairs, and to the front door which was also wide open. The storm was raging and it was completely dark. It looked like Hel out there, no one can walk out there and it would take an really strong dragon to fly. Marlyss climbed onto Starlight and shouted "Get on! I'll take you to the Great Hall then l have to go get the others that are stuck in their homes!"

"I'll come with you!" he suggested.

"NO!" was her harsh answer. "Are you not seeing this! It's way to dangerous!"

"But l-" he never got to finish because Starlight picked him up and carried him out to the Great Hall. The wind pushed against him with great force that was painful and it didn't help that the hail and rain came with it. You could tell it was a great struggle to get there by the way Starlight's wings where beating hard and fast, but their progress wasn't fast at all.

Starlight apparently noticed something amiss near the forest for she called out, it sounded nothing like a Night Fury, and suddenly changed directions to go towards it. Hiccup could bearly hear Marlyss's exclamation of surprise over all the wind. Starlight suddenly took him in her back legs and wrapped them around his chest and dived. This action made a scream force it's way out of Hiccup's mouth, not that anyone will hear it. In one fluid motion she pulled up with something in her front legs, it looked like a baby dragon of some sort, he couldn't tell what it was at the moment.

When they reached the Great Hall Hiccup could see a big man struggle his way out to meet them, he had a greying beard, and deep blue eyes along with a gold chieftain belt buckle. He was defiantly the Chief.

"Still three people and a hatchling missing!" he called over the howling wind. "Non of the others dragons are able to get through this storm!"

"We got the hatchling!" Marlyss shouted back as Starlight attempted to make a smooth landing in the harsh wind, didn't go that well, she dropped both Hiccup and the hatchling into the Chief's arms and nearly crashed into the giant doors of the Great Hall. The Chief stood up after landing on his back due to the force of both Hiccup and the hatchling and the wind picked up the hatchling and helped Hiccup to his feet, well, foot and prosthetic. The Chief stared for a moment, still holding him so he wouldn't get nocked over.

"So you're the one Jon found on our beach?" he asked in a authoritative voice that could actually be heard above the wind.

"Uh, ya, heh heh, long story." Hiccup replied nervously.

"We'll talk later, for right now get inside and take the hatchling with you, and... BRANT! What are you doing? Get back inside!" that reminded Hiccup of his dad. 'Great hear we go again, you have to think about home in a time like this.' he thought. He looked up to Brant who had something strange in his hand, it was relatively flat with a needle thing on top that was spinning so fast you wouldn't even know it was there.

"This wind is over 70 miles and hour, sir!" Brant exclaimed.

"That's why all of you need to get inside!" the Chief shouted. "You too Marlyss!"

"NO! I'm going to get the other three!" she argued jumping on Starlight who flew away.

"Marlyss!" he screamed, but either she didn't hear him or refused to. He sighed rather loudly and softened his grip, the only thing that kept the wind from carrying Hiccup away, allowing it to nock Hiccup's feet from under him. The Chief finally realized what was going on when he heard Hiccup's scream, he picked him up and helped him inside the Great Hall. Hiccup sighed in relief from the warmth the large room offered, compared to the freezing cold rain, hail, and wind. He was used to the cold and this island was very hot compared to what he was used to, but he wasn't expecting this cold of weather. He looked up to the Chief who let him go after they entered, and Brant left and most likely went to the other teens. The Chief motioned for Hiccup to sit with him at a near-by table and once seated began to speak.

"I'm Ormar the Mysterious. I am only called that because I come across that way with other tribes." he said softly. He seamed to be nice. "I'm sorry l haven't been able to meet you until now, I have been extremely busy. Jon told me all about you and I'm sure by now you have met my daughter, Marlyss, the one who brought you here." Hiccup stared in utter disbelief.

"Wait! Jon and Marlyss are you're kids?!"

"Did they not tell you? Well Jon normally forgets, so I understand. Oh I want to ask you-" he was cut off by the giant doors swinging in due to the force of the wind. A cold torrent of wind added with rain water and hail, knocked down some Vikings near it and blew out the giant fire which was relit by some dragons while others help close the doors. Ormar started barking orders and man and beast were rushing all over the place. Hiccup grew worried over the fact that Marlyss hasn't came back yet. She was the only memory of Astrid he had left and he wasn't about to lose it.

Starlight flew as swift as possible in the raging wind, assisting Marlyss in finding the family of 3. The storm was growing rapidly, both Starlight and Marlyss thought a tornado was near. That possibility was ruled out seeing as how the winds were in a straight line instead of rounded. Debris and foliage were in the wind now making it harder to navigate, but she knew this place better than the back of her hand. They knew exactly who was missing, the Olegson family, they hardly leave their home, even in a storm. It was freezing, and Marlyss could barley feel a single part of her body, she didn't even feel the ice pellets hitting her at all. Her mind was so much into the struggle of getting to the home of the Olegson's she didn't register the giant chunk of debris until it was too late. She stifled a scream that went unheard. Rider and dragon were plummeting to the earth separately, both dueling with the storm to regain stableness. Marlyss hit a few branches on the way down and lost consciousness just before hitting the ground, Starlight wasn't as lucky for she landed on top of a roof and then hit the ground. She too, soon fell unconscious.

Ormar was loosing his patience, Marlyss still hasn't returned. He could hear the storm getting worst. Hiccup realized this, and his mind was in a turmoil about as big as the storm. He wished so much that Toothless was here and he could just jump on and help, but Toothless wasn't there, leaving him defenseless. He looked up to the large doors and saw the dragons having trouble keeping the doors closed, that was saying something, there were five dragons the size and a little bigger than a Monstrous Nightmare. This was very bad. He had never been in weather this bad, at least not that he could remember.

It was than he heard it, the slight sound of a scream of a dragon that came from outside. The dragons seamed to notice, but Viking didn't. The dragons perked up at the sound causing the ones at the door to nearly slip. Hiccup thought he recognized it, but wasn't sure. It was to muffled to be sure due to the howling wind, the splashing rain, and the heavy doors. He knew something was wrong, and decided he was going to find out.
