"Woah, woah, whoa, wait. You're Hiccup?!" Brenna exclaimed as Hiccup sighed and nodded.
"Yeah, I really didn't want to come to any villages, but since I hurt my foot, I had no choice." He sighed.
"But if you aren't dead... Then we can bring you back to your father! Oh that'd be great!" She exclaimed happily as Hiccup let out an amused snort before shaking his head.
"He's probably happy I'm dead, now he doesn't have that annoying fishbone of a son." Hiccup said darkly.
"Don't think like that." Brenna said sternly as the flew into the cave and Hiccup jumped off of Toothless's back, wincing slightly as he accidentally knocked his bad foot.
"Yeah, how many times do I have to tell you? You are awesome and your dad looked really scared when you were taken." Toothless assured as Sky smirked and flew out of the cave.
"Where's she going?" Brenna asked as Sky flew back in, someone flapping behind her.
"HIC-CUP!" Winter exclaimed as she tackled Hiccup and covered him in a thick layer of saliva.
"Hey Winter, I'm glad to see you too." He giggled as Winter plopped herself onto his chest.
"You alive!" She exclaimed as Hiccup gently pushed her off before standing up and brushing himself off.
"Aw, she's so adorable." Brenna said as Hiccup stood next to her.
"Yeah, she really is. Here" He said before taking the gem off of his neck and handing it to her.
"Testing testing 1, 2, 3." Sky joked as Brenna jumped back on shock.
"Did she just-"
"Talk? Yes." Toothless answered as Hiccup laughed and Brenna's jaw hung open.
"See, I told you you could understand them with that thing on." He said before Winter nuzzled him again.
"So what should we do now?" Brenna asked as Hiccup carefully jumped onto Toothless's saddle as he gestured to Sky.
"You wanna go for a flight?" He asked as Brenna laughed and nodded.
"Yeah. I do."
Astrid walked down to the docks with Ruffnut and Fishlegs as they watched Trader Johann's ship pull into the harbor.
"Ooooooh! I can't wait! Johann said he was going to get a botany book just for me!" Fishlegs exclaimed as Ruffnut rolled her eyes.
"Dontnget you panties in a wad Fishy." She said as Astrid gave Fishlegs a slightly sympathetic look. He had been teased a lot more lately thanks to Hiccup disappearing and she honestly felt like it wasn't that fair, they walked up to the small boat and met up with Tuffnut and Snotlout, who were both looking at weapons.
"S-She's so beautiful." Tuffnut muttered as he hugged a mace that he was holding.
"I think he's gone insane." Snotlout muttered to Ruffnut, who shrugged.
"Macy I love you!" He exclaimed as Astrid giggled slightly as Fishlegs eagerly ran over to Trader Johann, who handed him a book as he squealed in delight.
"Wow, I think he's lost it." Tuffnut muttered, still stroking his mace as Snotlout raised his eyebrow in confusion before shaking his head as Stoick walked to the ship, Astrid's interest peaking.
"Ahhhh, well if it isn't Stoick the Vast, my favorite chieftain." Johann said as Stoick sighed and shook his head.
"Yes, yes, enough with the formalities. Do you have my sword?" He asked as Johan nodded and grabbed a beautifully crafted sword from behind a box.
"Here you go! I had to travel all the way to the edge of the archipelago and fight it from a gang of pirates!" He exclaimed as Stoick sighed and nodded, trying to be polite.
"So, do we want to meet in the Great Hall to discuss news around the archipelago?" Stoick asked as Johann nodded readily.
"Yes, yes, I will meet you there." He said as Stoick walked away as Astrid smirked, hiding in the Great Hall is a breeze.
"If there is a rider, he'd be the first one to know about it." She said quietly before slipping away from her friends and sprinting straight into the Great Hall, where she then hid behind a few barrels and waited for the cheif and Trader's return.
A few minutes later they both walked in and Astrid listened intently.
"Unfortunately, do you know the heiress of the Terrain tribe, Brenna?" Johann asked as Stoick nodded.
"It sounds familiar. She's the daughter of Brynjar right?" He asked as Johann nodded.
"Well it appears that two Night Furies and a rogue vigilante have abducted her right in front of Brynjar's eyes, poor lad." He said as Stoick's eyes widened.
"When Hiccup was killed, the Night Fury took him right in front of my eyes." He muttered, his fists balling in anger as Astrid smirked.
'Terrian tribe. Got it.' She thought to herself before sneaking out of the Hall and running into her house, grabbing a bag and stuffing things like a knife, a few notebooks, a few pencils, a map and a rope before running out of her house and whistling for Stormfly, who landed in front of her before she sighed.
"Am I really doing this? Maybe he really is dead." Astrid sighed as Stormfly cooed and nuzzled her.
"Yeah, your right." She said before tying the rope around her stomach and jumping onto her back, gripping the rope as she tapped Stormfly's side, making her take off.
"Okay. Due southeast." Astrid muttered as she and Stormfly flew through the puffy white clouds.
"Hic-cup! Hic-cup! Mommy! Daddy! Look!" Winter exclaimed as she haphazardly flew into her parents' cave, Toothless not far behind, Hiccup on his back.
"How did you survive that?" Tempest asked, not showing even the slightest amount of happiness that Hiccup was okay.
"I dunno, I crashed into a few trees?" He said unsurely.
"I'm sorry about him. He's been very cranky lately." Dusk said, shooting a quick glare in Tempest's direction, who glared at her back before looking over to Toothless, snarling slightly.
"I can't believe you." He said angrily as Toothless looked around, confused.
"You left Winter on her own. She almost died. I can't believe you left another one of you siblings unattended during an attack! Have you learned nothing?!" He screamed as Toothless pinned his ear plates to his head and whimpered.
"I didn't know there was going to be an attack. And besides, I didn't leave her alone, Hiccup was there." He said as Tempest continued to glare at him, a bit of white glowing on his head and in his nose before Dusk gave him a stern glare, making the glow disappear.
"It honestly wasn't his fault." Hiccup vouched as Tempest glared at them before looking down at Winter, who was running around Hiccup's feet.
"Okay, well Winter just dragged us over here so I think we should go." Toothless said as Hiccup nodded and jumped into his back.
"Hic-cup. Don't go." Winter pleaded as Hiccup sighed.
"I'm only a few caves down. You can visit whenever you want." He said as Winter gave him a cheeky grin before Toothless flew back over to their cave, noticing it was empty.
"Hey? Where's Sky and Brenna?" Toothless asked, looking around.
"Oh, they wanted to spend a bit more time flying around." Hiccup said before, low and behold, Sky and Brenna flew up to them.
"Hey Hiccup! You'll never guess what happened! We saw another dragon rider!" Brenna exclaimed as Hiccup and Toothless both gasped in shock.
"Wha- really?!" Toothless exclaimed.
"Yeah! And Stormfly was the dragon! She found a human!" Sky exclaimed.
"Wait? Did you say Stormfly?" Hiccup asked.
"Yeah, why?" Sky asked as Hiccup squealed in joy.
"I knew a dragon named Stormfly! She's a sky blue and gold Deadly Nadder right?" He asked as Toothless and Sky both nodded.
"And get this, her rider was from Berk!" Brenna said as Hiccup's jaw dropped.
"Berk?! That's impossible, it's a blood bath over there." Toothless said.
"Uh, Brenna, what exactly did her rider look like?" Hiccup asked, getting more and more anxious.
"Oh, she said blonde hair that was tied into a braid. She was wearing a spiked shirt. Oh! And she had the prettiest ocean blue eyes you could dream of. Does that ring a bell?" She asked as Hiccup's jaw smashed into the floor.
"Astrid." He muttered.
"Well you better hurry up Romeo because she looked like she was going back to Berk." Sky said as Hiccup instantly jumped onto Toothless and shot out of the cave.
"Come on, come on, come on." Hiccup muttered as Toothless flew as fast as he could, Hiccup feeling the wind rush harder and harder until Stormfly came into few before Toothless accidentally shot right past her.
"Sorry!" He yelled as he opened his wings as far as possible and they slowed down as Stormfly flew up to them.
"Greyscale? Whoa, great to see you." Stormfly said as Hiccup and Astrid made eye contact.
"Hey Hofferson. Long time, no see. Hehe."
Hey guys! So I know this chapter is really bad, but I'm extremely tired and I have a serious problem with procrastination. Anyway, again, I know you were expecting another chapter of 'Soul of a Dragon' but I really hope I can get it up by Friday, so until then, bye!
HTTYD tbh: When I first saw HTTYD in the theater, I was on the verge of tears because I thought the Red Death was so scary. But you have to keep in mind that I was 6.
Oh! Also, just to clear it up, I DO like Stoick. I just didn't like him back then. (And to that one guest. Check my profile and you can see that I ship Stalka)
