JLA outpost
Amaury's POV
In the morning, we were back from our rescue, I was kinda astonished to see Marykka following us tou our camp, I dismount Spitfire and let her some rest, Heather and Anya went to sleep a bit and i was ready to follow them when I felt Marykka's head near me
"thanks for everything little guy !"
"I'm not a meatbag anymore !"
"no...I'm sorry for that, can we be friends ?"
"we are Marykka...now I need some rest !"
"okay...rest well !"
I'll go to my hut and just saw Viggo giving some kind of old book to Hiccup, I don't know why but I don't care, I need to sleep.
Hiccup's hut
Hiccup's POV
When Viggo gave this book to me, I went back to my hut, Astrid was resting and Toothless was out, I sat in front of my desk and read it, it's was the diary of my heir to the throne in berk in the viking era, pretty well in shape but the last page I read took me by surprise, it was the date of our dissaperance and the death of Amaury, they change dragon island when the dragons were gone and build some tomb for all of us from time to time, he also said at the end he put some precious things in mine...I have to see this...but how ? I can't go there with one member of my team...I don't even know what to do if I go there ? I trully need help on that but who can help me...I heard some noise above :"
"Hiccup ? are you here ?"
"yes mylady ! something wrong ?"
"no...what are you doing ?"
"just read an old book Astrid, do you need something ?"
"no thanks Parisa asked me to help !"
"oh...ok !"
I went outside and saw Amaury awake
"you're not sleeping ?"
"I have some energy in me, what about you ?"
"Astrid stay in her bed with Parisa, the work is almost done and I think Skyfury is pregnant too !"
"that's cool !"
"I also got a problem !"
"what is it ? he asked."
"the book Viggo gave me was the diary of my last son, he wrote about a place were they built tomb for me and my friends and some things are in mine !"
"so...let me get this straight, you want to raid your own tomb for items ?"
"raid my tomb ?"
"I swear to my brother I will never do that, a tomb raider is someone who search old buildings or tomb in earth to find old artefacts !"
"is it dangerous ? I asked."
"yeah, it's an old building, we need pick axes, flares and in case weapon !"
"why all that ? I asked a bit worried."
"I played enought tomb raiders theme games to know we will have ennemies, I'll got that, get Toothless ready, I'll join you !"
I left to the stables and get Toothless, I also took two radio, one for me the other for Parisa in case of the baby comming and I joined Amaury and Spitfire.
Berk cemetary
Amaury's POV
We flied silently until Hiccup found what we looked for, a lost old cemetary in the middle of nowhere, we landed an the entrance or should I say where it was, Hiccup began to feel uncomfortable
"are you really sure you want that ? I asked."
"yes, Hiccup answered, let's go !"
We entered and walked slowly, only one body rest here...normally, my ancestor but the viking burnt the dead, we were in the middle of it, the tombs took some years and natural damages, we found Snotlout's one with the Snotnukcles trophy hidden, Dagur, Heather even Mala and Atali were here, then I saw Hiccup totally frozen in front of a real huge tomb, almost like a temple
"what was that ?"
"let me guess...your tomb !"
"you're kidding right ?"
"I saw all tombs here except this...thing and..."
Spitfire pushed me and layed in front of the second unknow tomb, I felt on the ground and Hiccup looked at this one
"are you sure it's not that one ? he asked."
"if Spitfire decided to stay here, I think I know for which one it is, let's go in yours !"
He followed me and after a long stairs...what that's thing, a small version of the Berkian's great hall ?...anyway, after the stairs, we found a Gronkle iron door with a night fury as sigil on it
"still have doubt ?"
"not anymore...how can we enter here, it must be locked !"
"you're the one who must be inside, your son must have let some clue to open it !"
"wait a minute ? this night fury missed a tailfin, if it's Toothless, where's the red tailfin ?"
"great Hiccup, we got a clue !"
I saw a red metal part stucked on the wall near the door, I used my grappling hook and took it slowly, I also saw in front of the door the ground looked kinda weak, when I gave it to Hiccup, he wanted to step forward but I stopped him
"we have to enter !"
"it's a trap in front of you !
"no way !"
I threw a small rock on the ground and it's collapsed, discovering pykes to impale intruders :
"you...you were right ?"
"play rise of the tomb raider and you will learn everything about raiding tombs !"
He jumped above the hole and put the red tailfin in the door, it opened slowly with lots of noises but it was pitch black inside
"that's for the flares ?"
"yes...or flaming sword !"
I took Helheim out and walked first, I feared a booby trap waiting for us and with Hiccup who almost always activate the deadly one but none was here, we walked closely to one another in a corridor. But at one moment, the ground below our feets crumbled and felt down with us too, we slide for a while until I saw a void and a weak rock wall in front
"take your pick axe now Hiccup !"
He followed my advice, we jumped above the void and climbed the wall, when we were on real ground, we saw what was hidden behind the door and corridor
"that's my tomb ? "
"yes, the corridor was the booby trap, but I think you share it with a special someone !"
"who ?"
"Astrid...duh !"
"oh...yes !"
We decided to take some rest near a camp fire, I lit it with Helheim and we sat down face to face
"you're a specialist in that ?"
"it's always like that...how can they built that ?"
"dunno...you look worried !"
"I missed Heather and Anya...I never thought I will have a family life, not too stressed !"
"a bit...I don't know why, I already lived that once but...I'm still worried for her !"
"I'm sure you will be great parents...you already trained yourself with the team !"
We laughted a bit then Hiccup looked at his own tomb
"can we go now ?"
"let me get my bow and arrow ready !"
"you got that ?"
"just in case, using C-4 here is too dangerous ! let's go !"
We walked to the entry, blocked by wood attached in the middle with a block surrounded by ropes
"I need it for that !"
I shot an arrow with a rope at the end and pulled harder to break it
"now we have an entry !"
"woaw !"
"stop being amazed !"
We entred it to find an other door blocking the way
"only fire will lead your way in ! what does this mean ?"
"have you Inferno with you ? I asked."
"yes...oh...do you think it's the key !"
"you're the only riders with a flamming sword !"
Hiccup took Inferno out, lit in on fire and put it in the key hole of the door, it opened with lights and we at last, found the tomb we're looking for
"here lies our best chief, read Hiccup, the dragon trainer, defeater of Drago and bringer of dragon peace, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, beside him lies his wife and general in battle, Astrid Hofferson."
"did you found anything !"
Hiccup went in a small room and went back with a shield and a book
"I don't believe it he kept my shield and the book of dragons !"
"that the artefact you wanted to keep ?"
"the rest is too damaged !"
"even this !"
When he was out, I found his armor in a box, pretty well keep, when he saw it, he was nostalgic. When he packed his things we left the place, a bit harder than to come in but we made it.
The cemetary
Hiccup's POV
When we were outside, I was ready to go but Spitfire was still not moving from the last tomb :
"what's going on ? I asked."
"can you translate the name on the tombstone please ?"
"you can't read vikings runes ?"
"Hiccup, just read it or I'll kick your arse so hard you will not be sitting at your desk for a while !"
I went to the tombstone and his doubt were true
"here lies the only rider who was killed in a fight, Amaury Goryaksson !"
"my ancestor, he said."
"yes !"
He looked at the tomb and Spit pressed a sign on the tombstone, a secret door opened and Amaury entered it
"wait for me for Thor's sake !"
Spitfire looked at us going inside a cave. He lit our way in, a stair went down and he was strangely silent
"are you okay ?"
"I'm in my ancestor's tomb...I'm curious !"
Before I could continue, he stopped and blocked the way in
"what is it ?"
"no ground Hiccup ! and I can't see shit !"
He took a flare in his bag and threw it in front of him
"it landed on something...but it's still pitch black here !"
"if a dragon could be with us...it maybe help us !"
He took his bow and flaming arrows and shot above us, a lamp lit and gave it to the others lamps, we finally saw something
"we got a bridge below but a jump will be too short !"
"so what we will do ?"
He shot a rope with a second arrow and took his pick axe before sliding above the void and landed on the bridge, I did the same and we walked, each side of this bridge, we saw sculpturs of his brave moment, his battle, his victory...except the last one
"huh...Amaury...what about this one ? the last one...I didn't remember that !"
He took a scope and looked at it
"mmh...it's not human work...the runes are more complicated than the vikings ones...it's a block of amber for the color I think, a bit old and...two dragons are stuck inside...oh no way !"
"what is it ?"
"if this block is here and if I'm right for these dragons...my ancestor will give me the best gift ever, let me see what it say !"
"I thought you can't read runes !"
"Spitfire told me everything about the dragons runes, I think I can translate it..."to awake those dragons and break their prison, a friend of them you must be and fire will be the key" "
"you...you translate that ?"
"I think...let see the tomb now !"
We wlaked to a heavy bronze door with three sigil on it
"Berk above, the Defenders of the wing below and in the middle, the Berserker one, no key hole !"
"thanks Hiccup, let's see...hope it's not a riddle again ?"
"wait a minute...the sigils got small points all over it, maybe we need to light it up to open the door !"
He took his sword and saw a line of liquid leading to the door, he lit it and a blue fire lit all the sigils and the door opened
"when you got a flamming sword it's simple !"
the room behind the door was the tomb of my ancestor, even his statue inside looked just like me but more viking like
"there's nothing here, except a Berserker crossbow !"
"don't touch it, it must be..."
I grabbed it and it became almost dust in my hands but Amaury finally saw something of interest, he saw a big hole in the wall in front of him
"stay here, I'll go check that !"
Amaury left and I sat down to wait him, a few minutes later, I heard a huge breaking noise beside this room, I ran to the secret room and saw Amaury on his knee in front of a break amber block
"they...they were here ?"
"yes Hiccup...I will keep them with me ! they're sleeping now !"
"so you got two dragon...how will you name them ?"
"they already got a name, the purple is Spyro and the black one is Cynder !
"how can you know that !"
"long story !"
We went outside the tomb, no need to explain how we get out of here, it's no important, we made a camp fire and sat down
"so...what about those babies ?"
"I gave them to Spitfire, she will watch over them !"
"okay...thanks for helping me !"
"you're welcome Hiccup...I also found this in your tomb !"
he gave me a second book "the history of Hiccup Haddock the Third", he put it on his saddle bag just when his radio turned on
"Hiccup...come here quick, Astrid is giving birth and Skyfury's eggs will hatched !"
"for the love of..."
"go first, I'll follow you."
I mounted on Toothless and took off, Amaury took the baby in his arm and Spitfire help him mount her before following me...Hiccup will be a dad...even Toothless will have some babies !
