RECAP: Morgan had tried to contribute just before he leaves in the form of having a job to do, but none of the vikings wanted him because he's a 'Drago Apologist'. As a result, it had shown the severity of the lies that Eret has told everyone about Morgan. He turned to Gobber ultimately, where he ended up briefly interacting with Grump, Gobber's dragon, but that had only led to him thinking about Toothless again, because Grump is obviously a dragon. He's now back into the mind battle of deciding whether to stay with Toothless to be with him in a loving manner, or to leave Berk and return to his family.

Things, in terms of the campaign trail across Berk, were going well for Hiccup. He's been to at least ten huts so far, knocking onto all of them to talk to the vikings living in them; as the Chief, he felt like it'd be beneficial to him, more than it would be for Astrid, to personally ask them all to vote for him. It seemed to be working too, because all ten of them had accepted the offer. They'll all be voting for him as a result. So far though, Hiccup has yet to actually speak to the vikings of the village who do the primary duties, such as farming, hunting, and fishing for example, so that was where he was going next. At this point, though, he was back at his two-storied house. After doing the knock-ons, his next intent was simply going to the various areas, such as the docks, where some of the fishing vikings will be, to talk to them about voting. In the same style, he'll try and talk to the farmers, the hunters, and so on, so he can convince them all to vote for him. He's already done the job with the regular vikings that patrol the island, so now it was time for him to go to the next group of vikings.

As he looked across the village that he's got a good view of, since his house is upper near the cliff with the Great Hall, a sudden black void had flew right into the air amongst Hiccup's vicinity, and of course, being without the saddle pack, Toothless had made a landing right near the wooden house. He's just got back from the cove, so his black scaly wings were quite exhausted from all of the flying he's had to do. Hiccup was relieved to see Toothless.

"Heya bud, where have you been at as of late, huh?" Hiccup asked, as he briefly looked back at his house.

Toothless walked closer to Hiccup as he was emitting rumbles from his throat. Hiccup watched his dragon with curiosity, where, upon Toothless landing to the spot right besides his human, he raised his head up slightly, before sending his right paw, as hard as he possibly could, into Hiccup's rib; this caused Hiccup to stumble and loose his balance briefly, but at the same time, it made him laugh.

"Funny, hey? I tell you, if I was a dragon myself, I'd send you rolling all over around here, haha" Hiccup added, rubbing his arms from the itching sensations he could feel briefly.

Toothless rolled his eyes, as if he was saying 'yeah, whatever'. The dragon had let his mouth close and open rapidly for at least five seconds, so he'd be making it seem as if he was doing a 'blah, blah' gesture, with the purrs at the same time, and it was a pretty distinguishable 'blah blah' as far as a dragon goes, but at the end of the day, Toothless is a Night Fury, so he can do some pretty distinguishable stuff.

"I swear bud, you better vote for me or else, alright?" Hiccup said, with a satire tone. Despite the satire tone, he genuinely was expecting Toothless to vote for him in the election.

Toothless shook his entire body, before scratching his paw against the grass. As Hiccup was walking back towards his best pal, it had only just dawned on the clumsy viking that Toothless himself doesn't have his saddle pack. Hiccup had sighed briefly at that, because he was hoping for Toothless to take him across Berk so he can possibly get a head-start ahead of Astrid, who's also going to be on her campaign trail today, on talking to the working vikings of Berk.

"Bud I uh, I need a bit of help today, so uh, wait here whilst I get your saddle pack.." Hiccup said, gesturing for Toothless to remain here as he started walking on the upwards-path towards his two-storied house.

As Toothless watched Hiccup move up to the house, he looked back towards the village, where he suddenly looked like he was scanning it for something as his eyes had shrunk briefly; he looked like he was trying to spot something, but after a minute of doing it, he suddenly returned his puppy eyes to their regular size, and he moved his lowered down head back up. He wasn't aggressive-looking, but he looked like he was ensuring that, according to his expression anyway, everything was in place. In reality, he was checking to see if that obvious guy was around here. Whenever Toothless is around Hiccup, he returns to his regular side, but when he's not with Hiccup and he's alone with you know who, he has his regular side, but he also has his desire-filled side. Morgan would probably be the same; around Hiccup when Toothless is with him, Morgan wouldn't bat an eye, but if he was alone with Toothless without Hiccup, then he too would return to those specific feelings. It was a fascinating sight to see, and it possibly shows just how much the two of them actually love each other.

Hiccup walked back, with the sound of metal colliding with itself as the saddle pack had dangling bits of rope on it, in which there were tiny bits of metal on it, the source of the tiny-ringing sound. Toothless grunted out of a despair at the sight of it, because to the Night Fury, it was always a nightmare to get the saddle pack itself on. He genuinely dreaded getting it on every single time.

**HICCUP, FLYING ON TOP OF TOOTHLESS ACROSS BERK, NOTICES SOME OF THE FISHER VIKINGS NEAR THE DRAGON HANGAR**

"Take it easy now, and let's get to those guys there.." Hiccup yelled, in the midst of the air being rushed into his face from being on the rapidly moving flying body of Toothless.

Toothless extended his wings out to his sides, allowing himself to steer within the air towards the direction of the vikings below. The dragon precisely looked down at where he was looking to land, and as he slowly descended with his human on the top of him, he had recalled the nightmare it was just now to get this very saddle pack back on. The vikings could hear a louder gust of air than usual as they were sorting out their rods. They looked up, to see a gigantic black void of a dragon gradually descending downwards in a circle, before it suddenly flew over the edge, only to fly back above the grass to precisely land it's paws onto the ground. They instantly recognised that it was Toothless, and ultimately, Hiccup. He slowly climbed off of Toothless, using parts of the saddle pack to assist his balance. He jumped off of his dragon's body to stand besides him, where Toothless started moving his paws up to the side of his face to rub parts of it.

"Thanks, bud" Hiccup said, thanking Toothless for taking him just now, as the Night Fury let off a grunt as the saddle pack had caused him to shake his entire body again, emitting off a big ringing sound from all of the metal bits of it colliding together.

Toothless looked at the colourful building of the hangar, becoming distracted at the sight as his viking had walked over towards the vikings carrying the fishing rods. The Night Fury let off a purr that had sounded like the same one he did when he first met Hiccup, as he dragged his tired wings across the grass to sit right at the edge of the island. Toothless looked down at the gigantic amount of height there was between the ocean below and where he was sat, but it didn't bother him. He situated his puppy eyes back to the colourful hangar building, before turning towards the direction of Hiccup to look at the eye-catching formations of the cliffs near the behind part of Berk.

"Heya guys.." Hiccup awkwardly said, with his voice catching a weakened down-state from flying in the air just now with Toothless.

"Heya Hiccup" they all collectively said, greeting him with a seemingly-positive reaction at seeing him.

"So uh, here's the deal...you know there's a vote going on uh...by the end of this week, huh?"

"Who wouldn't, Hiccup? you've been promoting it as if your life's been depending on it, haha" one of the fishing vikings laughed.

"Well uh, it technically is, you know? I'm putting my whole legacy at stake here, and uh...hold on, what am I doing repeating myself? I came here to try and persuade you guys to vote for me.."

The scent of seaweed could be smelt as the waves of the ocean could be heard from the edge, because the waters were so deep and thick. However, if one was to walk back to the village of Berk, the burning smell could be scented through the noses again. What contrasted these smells significantly was the warmth that the sun was emitting with it's clear glow along with the summer-like blue sky. Toothless suddenly stood up from his front paws to briefly stand up straight, only to rapidly move his tail closer to his body, before holding himself up on his two back paws with his tail; this was reminiscent of what he did when he was wanting Hiccup to eat some of the fish that he had regurgitated up when they first met. As he sat, he continued to study the view that he was getting from this; the colouring mixtures of the hangar building had caught his green emerald puppy eyes, and generally, the Night Fury felt all cheerful in his alpha-self. Whilst his human, Hiccup, was busy, Toothless was 'busy' taking in the hot weather and the lovely view of the hangar building and the scenery in general whilst in his human-like sitting stance. He knew what the hot weather meant, though.

"And uh, as you've seen already, I've not done any harm, and in fact, I've kept the peace across here...so uh, would you still be willing to vote for me? in all honesty, between you guys and me, I feel like Astrid would give Berk a satire image, and uh, I don't want that, nor does anybody else, surely?"

"Of course not, but uh, who's to say that you won't do the same, Hiccup?" one of the fishing vikings had asked.

"Look at me, I was made Chief a while ago, and have I done anything like that? that's simply untrue, if you claim that it is. Look, I uh, I might be clumsy and uh, sometimes a bit too uh..what's a better word...uh...p-plastic? I dunno, haha..but yeah, despite that, my dad was the greatest Chief in Berk's and the Hairy Hooligan tribe's history, and I intend on carrying on that legacy, but I can only do that if you guys commit to me and ensure that I win it?" Hiccup said, looking exhausted from how much talking he's had to do to convince the guys themselves.

The fishermen vikings looked at each other as they held their fishing rods. They weren't actually fishing, but they held the rods so they could eventually carry them to their fishing destination later on. They all shrugged at each other, before looking back at Hiccup, who looked anxious.

"Better to be safe than sorry, huh? and hey, you've got the alpha dragon, so why not? we'll be voting for you"

"Oh man, you guys have just cooled me down like uh..like throwing a block of ice onto a burning piece of bread, haha, you know what I mean?"

There was an awkward silence, but nonetheless, Hiccup's achieved their vote, and they've re-assured him that they'll definitely give him their vote.

"I uh, I've gotta go catch some other vikings, but uh, see you guys later..come on bud, it's time to go" Hiccup said, as he walked back forwards to Toothless, who once again gave off a disgruntled purr at having to leave the lovely view he was just at. He briefly flapped his black long scaly wings out of the frustration, but it didn't honestly bother him as significantly as he's portraying it.

Toothless fell back down to his four paws, walking away from the edge slightly to allow Hiccup to climb up back to the saddle pack.

**ASTRID AND STORMFLY ARE STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEDIUM-SIZED CROWD**

Astrid had gathered for a good amount of vikings to follow her, and Stormfly over towards the docks, the ones where Hiccup had stood at all those years ago as he watched those viking ships and boats sail to the Dragon Nest, whilst they had Toothless captured. But they weren't directly standing on the docks; this was going to be another of Astrid's showing off sessions, much like the one she did at her campaign session at the arena. There was a reason they were standing not on the wooden docks high above the ocean of Berk, but instead, behind the stone walls that held up the wooden foundations of the dock's platforms. Stormfly nudged Astrid briefly, as the veteran viking was holding a couple of shields in her grasp.

"If you've all come here to watch this, then you're voting for me, alright? you are? good, then let me get started then.." she said, gesturing for Stormfly to come forwards to her.

"Alright girl, you know what to do...let's get it spot on.." she said, with Stormfly briefly purring at her viking's words.

Whilst the medium-sized collection of vikings watched on, some of them rubbed their helmets briefly, as they were trying to make sense of what Astrid and Stormfly were doing. They slightly stepped back as Stormfly was creating a gap between herself and Astrid; Astrid had exposed the shields in her grasp to the crowd, with their colourful symbols glaring right into the faces of the vikings in front of the crowd mainly.

"This is just to show you all why I'm physically stronger and capable than my so-called opponent. I say so-called because I'll be squashing him in this like a bug, haha. You won't be seeing our Chief doing this. You wanna know why? he lacks the precision skills, whereas I can practically do this with my eyes closed. But I'll save my even better capabilities for another time. Alright girl, READY!?" She held the shields upwards slightly, turning her face towards the stone walls that were just behind her.

Stormfly slightly moved her tail outwards to turn it into again, a spiky collection, where upon doing so, the sound of a sword scraping on another could be heard, with the source coming from the spikes emerging. Then, Astrid took her hand, and planted two of her fingers in her mouth, before she suddenly whistled as loud as she possibly could. She tossed the shields up both at the same time, where upon doing so, Stormfly instantly flicked her tail forwards, not once, but twice, but she was that fast it looked like she had did it once. Both times, the sound of a whip being whipped on something was heard as the spikes had flew from the Deadly Nadder's tail, and the precision was indeed true for Astrid. The vikings literally had to tighten their ears with their hands, the sounds of the spikes both times from Stormfly's tail were that loud. You could practically feel as if a sword was genuinely being scraped on another too, from the initial sound from the spikes emerging on her tail.

The spikes were perfectly in line with the wooden, painted shields, as they had penetrated right through the wooden surfaces of both shields to cling them firmly onto the stone wall with the help of Stormfly's tail spikes. Astrid simply raised her hands up to point to the shields, where she was nodding with a mischievous smile. Stormfly marched on over to Astrid shortly afterwards, and she lowered her light blue head down to Astrid, with Astrid keeping a hand on the top of her head.

"So there you have it, my friends. Not only should you vote for me, but you should vote for me because I don't just talk the talk, I walk the walk, as you can see on there. You thought it'd be hard enough to do it with just one? oh please. I've done this with Stormfly for practically every Snoggletog, and let's be honest, girl, and you guys..." she briefly looked Stormfly in the eyes before looking back at the crowd, "there's no better viking than me, huh?"

The vikings that were together as a medium-sized crowd with Stormfly and Astrid nodded with approval; they knew Astrid was a very tough viking anyways, but this is the second thing she's shown herself as something she can do, and they're things that'd require good timing, stamina, and physical capabilities; all of which Astrid has inside her. These vikings watching were generally those in which they had skepticism about Hiccup being the Chief; they were the minority who kept on complaining and challenging his leadership prior to the election being made official. At one point, Eret had to step in and defend Hiccup at the time, since he was, and technically still is, Hiccup's right-hand viking.

Not including a few of them, the vikings, after giving their nods to Astrid, had started to walk off; the few that had remained had wanted to talk to Astrid specifically, about some other details. They were going to vote for her anyways, but they felt like they had an obligation to know more about her, since she is of course in a relationship with the current Chief of the island, and is generally a top viking. Astrid walked over towards the two of them as the other vikings were heading back to the village. Stormfly followed her viking in the brief little path that Astrid had walked in just now.

"I did good there, huh?" Astrid said, with the viking resembling Stoick in terms of his size nodding.

"You'd be perfect. I like Hiccup and all, but just remembering the times in when he was the weakling of the tribe makes it hard for me to take him seriously as Chief...haha..."

Astrid simply laughed along with him, as he still had some more curiosity inside his head.

"Do you also remember when he tried steppin' outside during one of those dragon raids?" he asked.

"I mean of course, he's got good qualities in him.." Astrid said, holding back on the attacks against Hiccup, "but I wouldn't mind seeing at least what the responsibility of being Chief is like"

"And that's precisely why I'm voting for you, haha. You take care, Astrid, and uh, your dragon as well" the large viking waved at both Stormfly and Astrid, and subsequently, Astrid turned her focus to the last viking remaining; he was much smaller, and he had longer hair than usual.

"Let me just cut to the chase...I think it'd be pretty cool for somebody else to take on the role, I mean, Hiccup's great and all, but like that other guy said, it's hard to take him seriously, uh, even though he's got the Alpha dragon as his own.."

"Like I said, haha, just choose wisely. If you want something new, then vote for me, or if you want the same old, then vote for Hiccup. I'd be willing to offer you a plate of knuckle sandwiches though if you choose him.."

"Haha, my mind was firmly going to go for you anyways, Astrid. I'm gonna get back to farming, but uh, yeah, good luck!" he said, as he started waving at Stormfly and Astrid as the two of them stood together.

Astrid continued to stroke Stormfly's scaly head, as the two of them looked to the opening at the side of the stone wall that had led to the wooden platforms of the high docks. Astrid, after having what was basically a mini-campaign session, wanted to go back to having fun for a bit, and so, she slipped past Stormfly's head and body to go through the opening, and as soon as she did, the sound of the waves crashing amongst each other in the ocean below had rang loud to here, despite how high it was. The sun was also right in their eyes. Stormfly slowly hopped up to the wooden platforms too, where she got close to Astrid. She once again lowered her head to Astrid, where she could feel her chin and nostril be grasped upon by her human's hands, so Astrid could briefly cuddle with her to thank her for her contributions just now.

"Shall we go for a ride, girl?" Astrid asked, slightly nodding her head towards the ocean.

Stormfly flapped her wings for a moment, and she looked perked up all of a sudden with purrs, left right and center. Clearly, she too wanted to go for a ride after the campaigning she's helped her human with, and so, she turned her gigantic light blue head towards the ocean water, and she ducked down slowly so she could let Astrid get onto her back with ease.

"Alright Stormfly, let's show them all why I'm truly the one to win it all..." Astrid said, patting Stormfly near that big horn on her forehead.

And thus, the two of them had took off into the air, after Stormfly had simply charged off of the wooden platforms, only for her wings to instantly be caught so that the wind was flowing beneath her wings; she was being swung about like on a swing, but she eventually caught her speed and her balance in the air with her wings. She made a swift turn so they'd begin flying over the main land of Berk itself, and specifically, the village. Stormfly rapidly ascended upwards, and now, Astrid could finally relax with a typical flight with her dragon.

This was only the morning; Astrid and Hiccup both intend on continuing their campaign trails throughout the rest of the day, where they'll have to try and convince more and more vikings to vote for them in the upcoming election.

**BACK TO THE MOMENT ERET HAD EXITED THE HALL THIS MORNING AFTER MORGAN HAD CONFIRMED HIS DEPARTURE FROM BERK**

As Eret was eyeing up Cloudjumper's gigantic, towering body, he had an idea in mind for what he can do to Morgan as a final 'gift'. He walked down the stone steps with a smirk on his face, where he was clearly sparking up something in his head that spelt bad news. As his 6'4 body got down to the stone steps, Eret, looking to the side slightly, started walking over to Cloudjumper, who looked like he was waiting for somebody. Clearly, he was waiting for Valka. Once Cloudjumper had caught onto Eret's body, with his focused yellow eyes and his intriguing formation of a head, with it's red and gray curves, with the biggest one going across his forehead, the Stormcutter's permanent smile remained unchanged, and he let off a small purr to the sight of Eret, who felt like he was about to ask for quite a bit from a dragon like Cloudjumper.

"Hey there, Cloudjumper, are you uh, are you looking to hear some pretty interesting things?" Eret asked.

Cloudjumper tilted his head at Eret's question; the dragon had no idea what Eret was talking about, and as his four wings were planted red-hook-first onto the grass, it looked as if Cloudjumper was still wanting to know what he was talking about, evident from his head still remaining at a tilted angle.

"Ah, you know what, there's too many folks around here during the day. Uh, if possible, meet me back at this precise spot tonight, yeah? I've uh, I've got a lead for you on something that I'm sure will cause you some anger, but sometimes we've gotta get the truth out, ehy?" and with that, Eret had simply walked off into the village.

Cloudjumper let off a curiosity-sounding purr, where he looked to his left and right before raising up one of his gigantic wings briefly. He looked back at the direction of the village that Eret was walking in. Although he wasn't sure on what Eret had in mind, his curiosity-filled dragon head had caused him to ultimately conclude that he'll obey by Eret's word. He looked back up to the direction of the large meade doors all the way at the top of the stone steps that two of his gigantic wings were situated by, where he looked cheerful in his expression, and this time, without a single sound. On a second thought, Cloudjumper didn't want to potentially cause any annoyance with his viking by constantly being around her and literally looking as if there was an invisible bit of string attached between one of his wings and Valka herself, and so, he eventually took off into the air, over the oceans, where he still had Eret's proposal to come back to that spot tonight, even though the Stormcutter was clueless on what his intention was.

As it turns out, Eret didn't actually tell Cloudjumper about what he had heard, but instead, he's going to reveal it all to Cloudjumper tonight, when the village is vacant and quiet for the rest of the night, and when all the other dragons are asleep elsewhere.

Hiccup and Astrid, both fully within their election moods in their preparations for the question sessions in however many days, had gone on their campaign trails; what they did just now was only within the morning of Berk still, so they'll be continuing with those trails in the afternoon. As it's been revealed, Eret didn't actually tell Cloudjumper about what he had heard Morgan say when he had left the hall this morning, but all he told the Stormcutter instead was to come back to that position near the stone steps of the hall so he can let the Stormcutter know in a stealthy, vacant environment. What exactly does Eret have in mind for Morgan's 'good exit'? will it potentially cause any occurrences that Eret himself will regret later on? although Morgan's under a descent of trying to pick out the right choice, there's still an election going on across Berk, so again, the important question for now is; who'll ultimately come out on top as the winner, also post-question sessions?
