I have such awful writers block for 'Soul of a Dragon'. I wish that story could just kinda end. So I'm updating this instead because I love writing this story so much :)
"Winter!" Toothless screamed as he and Hiccup sped through the sky was fast as they could.
"No." Hiccup muttered as he watched the Southern Furies fly away, Winter screaming in terror as they flew towards their nest.
"WINTER!" He screamed as Toothless shot towards the Northern nest and flying onto the battle plateau.
"EVERYONE! Southern Furies just took Winter as a hostage!" Toothless roared as a bunch of Night Furies gasped and flew onto the rock and gathered around them.
"You LOST her?!" Tempest snarled as he flew up to them.
"Fuck off Tempest. We've treated Winter better than you and Dusk ever have." Hiccup hissed coolly before turning back around.
"What will our tactics be?" Toothless asked as DeathKiller landed next to him.
"This needs to be an ambush attack. While most of us fight the Southerners, a few dragons need to sneak in and grab Winter." DeathKiller explained as Sky quickly flew up next to Toothless, she took a few deep breaths before looking up.
"Toothless! You'll never guess what just happened!-"
"Wint just got captured by Southern Furies. Can't it wait?!" He snapped as Sky's face fell and she backed up.
"O-Okay." She stuttered before Toothless and the other dragons took off towards the Southern nest.
Brenna haphazardly kicked a door open and fell to the floor in exhaustion, making sure not to let the eggs crack.
"Brenna? What happened to you?" Stoick asked as he stood up from his chair and gave her a hand.
"Sky laid some eggs, where's Valka? She would probably know what to do in this situation." She asked.
"Valka went back to that nest. Something about telling the alpha some important news. She was in a bit of a hurry so I didn't ask." He responded as Brenna cursed under her breath.
"Okay, uh, then do you know where Astrid and Stormfly are?" She asked as Stoick nodded.
"Yes, I'm pretty sure they just came back from training in the woods." He said before Brenna picked up the eggs and nodded.
"Okay, thanks chief." She said before walking out.
"Hey! Astrid! You home?" Brenna asked as she tried to knock on the door with her knee.
"Wait just a second!" A voice yelled from inside as footsteps could be heard pounding down the stairs. Astrid then appeared at the door, she had clearly just come back from the bathhouse because her hair was down and soaking wet and she was wearing a loose fitting, flowing dress instead of her usual get up of spiky skirts and shoulder pads. Brenna started to blush before shakily her head and looking up.
"Oh, hey Brenna. What are those?" She asked as Brenna walked inside and set the eggs down on Astrid's table.
"Those are Sky's eggs. Apparently her and Toothless had a little, fun, and now I'm stuck with them until she gets back from telling Toothless." She answered as Astrid asked before looking at the eggs curiously.
"Why did you bring them here? Valka is probably a lot more equipped to-"
"I tried. Apparently she went off to the nest to go tell the alpha something. And since Hiccup's gone and I definitely don't trust Stoick with caring the eggs, I thought you'd be a good backup." She said before Astrid raised an eyebrow.
"Backup? Astrid Hofferson is not a backup. She's a frontdown." Astrid said before realizing how stupid that sounded.
"Whoa, you totally sound like Snotlout." Brenna said as Astrid punched her on the arm playfully before picking up one of the eggs.
"Come on, let's go get these to Stormfly." Astrid said before walking to the back of her house and opening the door that lead to Stormfly's stable.
"Stormfly." She whispered as Stormfly groggily lifted up her head from a nap.
"Oh, hi Astrid. Brenna." She greeted before stretching.
"Hey Stormfly, can you watch these eggs for a little bit? Just until Sky gets back with Hiccup and Toothless." Brenna asked as Stormfly nodded.
"Sure. But can you tells Astrid that I'm hungry for some chicken?" She asked as Brenna gave her the eggs and nodded.
"Sure, Astrid, you might want to get your dragon some chicken." Brenna said as Astrid nodded before running back inside and up the stairs.
"Hey! Can you grab my skirt and shoulder pads? I think left them on the counter." She called out as Brenna nodded and picked them up before running upstairs and stopping at Astrid's bedroom door. She stood there for a few moments before Astrid walked out, Brenna handed her the clothes before they both walked downstairs and outside towards the Great Hall.
"Where are your parents?" Brenna asked as Astrid shrugged.
"They went to go visit my older brother. He just got married and fell in love with his wife's village and tribe, so he moved out there instead of his wife moving here." She explained.
"So how long will they be gone?" Brenna asked as Astrid shrugged again.
"They said about two to three weeks, but I think they're gonna stay a little longer, so probably about a month." Astrid said before an awkward silence fell between them.
"Soooooo, Berk, it's pretty great isn't it?" Astrid asked as Brenna perked up and nodded.
"Yeah, it's awesome. Although I kinda miss Terra. Those huge fields, the amazing sunsets-"
"Have you even watched a Berkain sunset?" Astrid cut in as Brenna shook her head.
"Well- no. But they can't nearly be as good as Terrain ones. You climb up onto a tall tree and watch the sun fall below the mountains. Or sit in a field of flowers and watch it dip below the ocean." She reminisced as Astrid laughed and noticed the sky was turning orange.
"Come on. I'll show you one right now." Astrid offered before walking past the Great Hall and towards one of the cliffs overlooking the ocean.
"Hey, what about Stormfly? Isn't she hungry?" Brenna asked as Astrid shrugged.
"She can wait. You need to see this." She said with a smile, making Brenna blush again as they crawled up to the cliff and swung their legs over the cliff and stared at the setting sun.
"Okay, this is pretty great too." Brenna admitted as Astrid laughed.
"Yeah, they're amazing. Especially if you're in the air on a dragon. My first flight on Stormfly was absolutely incredible, she basically gave me an aerial tour of the island during the sunset, it was magical." She muttered as Brenna scorched just a bit closer to her.
"My first flight on Sky was far from that. Hiccup had Sky grab me while my village was trying to kill her. It scared the hell out of me." She said as they both laughed and the sun finally started to dip down under the ocean.
"Hey Astrid." Brenna said as Astrid turned to face her, and then Brenna leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Astrid's eyes opened wide in alarm as Brenna quickly pulled away and her cheeks burned dark red.
"I-I-I-I'm so sorry. I'm trying to figure some stuff out." She muttered before running off as fast as she could. Astrid just sat and stared in the direction Brenna ran off, after a few minutes she touched her lips in confusion.
"Huh?" She muttered quietly before staring back out at sea, "Huh."
Whoa, I know, whoa. I felt like Astrid and Brenna haven't had much bonding time lately and, well, I've always kinda wanted an LGBT character in one of my stories. So I'm putting Brenna and maybe Astrid (even though there's Hiccstrid in this story) in bisexual land. She's not fully lesbian because I'm still gonna have her showing affection for Hiccup and when she finds out he's alive, Talon.
httyd TBH: I would gladly loose my leg if it meant I could live in the httyd universe.
