Hello Everyone. Here is chapter 14 and I hope you will enjoy it. :)
When they had left the great hall, The Hoffersons and Hiccup went to see Gobber, who was busy fixing a sword that had been badly damaged . After fixing the Hammer, Gobber turned round to face his next customers when instead he faced Hiccup and The Hoffersons.
"Hi Gobber" said Hiccup, waving at him.
"Hey Hiccup, how are yeh" said Gobber, waving back.
"I am fine but I have got something to tell you" said Hiccup.
"Sure, what is it" said Gobber, excitedly.
"I am going to leave Berk" said Hiccup, preparing himself for Gobber to immediately try and stop him but it didn't come instead Gobber just stood there doing nothing except stare at the wall in shock.
"Why?" asked Gobber, shocked. "You do have a wedding comin up do yeh?".
"Yep but I won't be taking part in my own wedding because my dad had tried to split me and Astrid up in order for me to get married to seal the peace treaty" said Hiccup.
"I don blame yeh, Stoick can be very stubborn sometimes but his heart is in the right place" said Gobber, now continuing to hammer the badly damaged sword into place.
"I will attend Snorri Hofferson's wedding and then after that I am leaving" said Hiccup, sadly.
"Ok, I understand but before you leave I want you to do something for me" said Gobber.
"Alright" said Hiccup, uncertain.
"I want you to make a sword for Snorri Hofferson as a gift for his marriage, you can do that can't you?" asked Gobber.
"Yeah, sure I can" said Hiccup, running into the forge and putting on his apron for what might possibly be for the last time.
After two or three hours, Hiccup had finally finished the sword that was going to be Snorri's wedding gift. It was beautiful and it was perfectly well-balanced for any Viking that wants to hold or use it.
"She's a beauty isn't she?" asked Gobber, happily.
"Yeah, I have to agree with you there Gobber" said Hiccup. While he was holding the sword, Hiccup then suddenly got a idea. "Hey Gobber, I was just thinking that if you can make more of these for the whole village?".
"Why's that?" asked Gobber.
"It's because so when somebody's son or daughter is getting married, they all have swords that they could use as a gift for their son or daughter" said Hiccup.
"Good thinking lad, it's only fair if everyone gets to have they own special swords for weddings" said Gobber.
"Anyway I have got to go, see ya Gobber" said Hiccup, taking off his apron and running out of the forge.
"Hey Hiccup, wait there is something I have to tell you" said Gobber.
"What is it Gobber?" asked Hiccup, who's walking came to a halt.
"Snorri has asked me to tell yer that you are his best man for the wedding" said Gobber, making Hiccup shocked.
"Ok, I will be their" said Hiccup, smiling. "See ya Gobber".
Gobber could only smile as Hiccup joined the Hoffersons once again and walked away with them.
O
After talking with Gobber, Hiccup and the rest of the Hoffersons walked back up to the great hall that is hosting the wedding for Snorri Hofferson and Kaia. When they got inside, Hiccup walked towards Snorri and stood next to him while the Hoffersons found their seats and sat down. They saw Snorri wearing a black fur cape and a two-horned helmet. After everyone had sat down, the Bride which is Kaia then came accompanied by a man with a brown beard and blue eyes. This man is Kaia's father and his name is Herald. After getting his daughter to the Alter, Herald then went to sit down with everyone else. The man in charge of the entire thing is Stoick the Vast.
"Welcome Everyone to the wedding of Both Snorri Hofferson and Kaia" said Stoick, to everyone. "We are here to witness these young couple become a part of each other forever".
The first thing of the wedding was to represent the swords which the best men gave to the Bride and Groom. Then it was putting the rings on one another's finger and after that it was the walking over the plank which is where if the Bride tripped or fell it meant a bad omen for their marriage but Kaia easily got over the plank but after that it was the throwing of the sword which Snorri had easily passed. Soon a party had started, every Viking was either dancing or just sitting down having a drink but it soon came to the consummation which Snorri and Kaia had also easily passed even though it wasn't easy at first.
"I announce you both as Husband and Wife" said Stoick, happily. "You may kiss the Bride". Snorri then kissed Kaia on the lips causing everyone that was present to cheer loudly, Hiccup among them. The Hoffersons were crying with joy that a another Viking had joined the family for life.
After the consummation, the party resumed and every Viking was having a good time especially two particular Vikings. Hiccup and Astrid were sitting at one of the tables watching the rest of Vikings including the Bride and Groom dance.
"It's exciting isn't, being at a party" said Astrid.
"Yep" said Hiccup, he then got up and held out his hand. "Would you care join me for a dance, milady?".
"It would be my pleasure Mr Haddock" said Astrid, smiling while she took Hiccup's hand.
When Hiccup held Astrid's right hand with his left and his right hand on her waist while Astrid's left hand was on Hiccup's shoulder, they then started dancing and at first it was a fast dance but after a while it then became a slow dance which during the slow dance, Hiccup and Astrid were enjoying being close to one another with Astrid laying her head on Hiccup's shoulder as they slow danced for the entire party.
