No, this is not another update. Sorry if you thought it was! D just like to thank Sonochu for your advice and critique. Id also like to say that reason for me not revealing Stoick's drinking problem is because I plan to reveal it in later chapters, it will not remain a secret forever. Also, I do plan on including the rest of the gang in this story soon, like when Hiccup returns to school. I have the Astrid problem and its possible solution all figured out. I will take your advice and try to combine my chapter to make them longer, but sometimes I make chapters short for a reason, maybe for a cliff hangar or because I feel that they would be better off at that length. But I will be making most of them longer, hopefully over a thousand words, not including author's notes. Thank you for your suggestions and for helping me make my story better. I just wanted to make some things clear about the story and why some things have been left out for the time being. So, it might take me longer to update but the chapters will be, for the most part, much longer. I hope that you will all continue reading even if it takes a week or two to update! See ya in the next chapter! Bye!
