Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON. However I did make this story.
Apologizes if you were excepting a chapter with the past few weeks. I would like to say thank you to you the audience for reading this and/or previous story so far. Here's the next part in the story.
The next morning we all gathered in the great hall to both fill our stomachs and go over final details of the plan. Each of us will take turns acting like we'd left something for the prisoners to use. The rest would be hidden while keeping an eye on them from a distance. Should they make a move for the object, that's when we'd intervene. Once we recaptured them, we'll take them to either the great hall or another place suitable for our needs. Should the prisoner prove useful, and then we'll put them to work immediately. Each prisoner would be watched for a set amount of time before we determine what we should do with him or her. It was however going to be a long day ahead of use.
After our meeting, we began going to the Kill-Ring to gather a few prisoner and brought them to the village. We paired them into groups of two or so, then set them to work doing somewhat meaningless chores while we sat quickly observing from a distance. Since this was partly my plan to begin with, I was chosen to kick it off by accidentally dropping small dull knife. I had to ensure that the prisoners noticed the knife was there. So we made it shine and I made sure it made a sound as it hit the ground. Afterwards I'd hide somewhere as well and watched. We agreed to give them about five to ten minutes before we ended the trial period.
The trail overall was somewhat boring to me, but it had to be done. I'd say about half or more of the troops made an attempt for the knife. Although some noticed it wasn't going to be useful to them after picking it up. Some were unaware the knife was dull and attempted to slash at us to keep us away from them. It took some extra time to neutralize the situation, it was handled nonetheless. About half of the prisoners passed our little test and were willing to help out cause, but it wasn't going to be without suspicions.
Not that we were unfair with our prisoners judgments, after finishing the test. We conducted another test similar to the one earlier, however with some mere changes. We enchanted a knife to get through anyone should it be used to harm someone. And then conducted individual tests with the unfavorable prisoner. The knife sat within arms reach of them with it unsheathed and in plain view. We merely asked them some questions and made our judgment based on if the knife was grabbed and/ or how the questions were answered.
We had to stop somewhere for them and went to get our lunch at the hall. Afterwards we continued with the test and get a little less than half of the reject prisoners to help. The rest were taken to the jails since the number of prisoners was reduced hugely. We returned to our duties and did the best we could to prepare the village and us by the end of the day.
The next morning we still prepare, but the ally ships and troops started floating into the docks. Stoick had the head of the ally troops to dock while the other dropped anchor and waited aboard ship. Hiccup, Stoick and the other leaders gathered in the great hall to go over the counter-attack plan in detail. While the rest of us did any and all last minute necessary preparations. Once I felt anything was ready, I ran off into the forest to get myself changed into the proper form. However, before I did so, I gave a small pray to both Viking and dragon gods for safety in battle to everyone. I also checked if I could handle my human self if the need arise in battle. Once I was happy with myself, I changed into the nightfury and went back to the village.
We gathered all the supplies and people onto the boat and set off to the west with our allies in tow. Meanwhile, all of us dragons (wild and non-wild) and riders got ready before shortly joining the others at sea. I caught some of the wild dragons giving a prayer to the sun and moon dragon for safety in battle. Some however, prayed for the safety of their family should they be killed in battle or worse. Once all of us were ready, we left Berk to join up with the armada.
After a while of travel time, we all settled on an island some distance away from Berk. We began constructing some catapults and other defensive measures. It didn't take long to build them considering the amount of help we had at hand. Once they were finished, mostly everyone set up camp while some of the ships and dragons circled the island.
The humans and our riders were in the camp while the dragons were staying outside of the camp. Stormfly, Meatlug, Hookfang, Barf and Belch, and I formed a small group while, Toothless stayed with Hiccup for a while before joining us.
"Are you ready for tomorrow?" Toothless said as he came closer to us. There was a slight pause amongst our group.
"I'll do what I must to succeed." Hookfang answered.
"I'll do the same, but I will also do what I must to survive." I answered. Meatlug seemed to share the same ideal as my.
"I see. Then let the winds gust and the seas crush our enemies so we may succeed." Toothless said before walking from and chatting a bit with the other dragons. I myself did the same thing before going to sleep. The last I dreamt about the children before I started the recall the time I spent with Aesa. Up until I was killed and then it was just emptiness. I imagined I was in a white room, but there was nothing really tell me it was. It just felt like room and nothing more or less than that. When I attempted to walk in one direction, it seemed to enlarge itself to make it seem like it could go on for eternality. I didn't know why I was dreaming of this room, but I was.
Those of you who have read that this was going to be the last chapter, I've changed my mind. I will be continuing it for a few more chapters, but I don't know if it will be in this story or in a new one. We will see what happens in the future. Anyway I'd appreciate if you'd leave a review of the story. Please do share any ideas you have of the story, and/ or your opinion of it. And if you have any questions about the story, I'm more than happy to answer them. Anyway Enjoy!
