sorry if I'm updating slower the computer is messed up. So my apologies. This chapter might be short but it's just to tell you what's happening on berk.
third point if view.
Stoick's mind was in chaos. The loss of his village and his son took its toll. He spent the last few weeks helping to rebuild the village. It was difficult for him to stay on task. The air still had traces of smoke and ash making breathing wretched. Stoick stayed awake most nights thinking about what could've happened if he hadn't left. Maybe Hiccup would've still been with him. He cursed and blamed himself for not being there. He was mentally hurt. Everyone was. Their population was drastically reduced to roughly 40 Vikings and 9 children. Friends and family broken apart. Vikings were tough but still mourned for their loved ones.
Astrid was a shattered soul. She saw her peers die in front of her eyes. Ruffnut and fishleggs survived but Snotlout and Tuffnut weren't so lucky. You'd think Astrid would be happy about Snotlout's death because he was always a nuisance but she saw him scream in pain as a black Viking stabbed him numerous times. It scared her enough for a mental break down. Tuffnut she didn't see die, but She knew Ruffnut was in ruins. Ruff said he got crushed by a burning column from the great hall. Everyone was running to the forests at this point.
The dragon raids still continued causing more fire and pain. People were begging to the gods for sanctuary and healing. Some even doubted them. Everything seemed to be falling into darkness. The sun was always covered by the clouds and the winter was more freezing than the last. Snow fell everyday hindering any work. There weren't many furs or roofed houses so they had no way to keep out the cold. It was a deathly winter. Frostbite was now a common occurrence. Population keeps dwindling.
Everything felt dead. Berk was now a total of 27 starving, cold, people (including teens and children). What the future had to hold was going to change all of that though.
as I said. Short. Sorry about that but I thought you might wanted to know what was happening over on berk. R&R
