Review response
Umbra Lycan: Thank you and from the title, you can guess it'll be the next chapter after this one.
CajunBear73: -Yep.
-Hiccup faced a mountain of a dragon, so a pissed off Camicazi might put him on edge.
-Indeed, Stoick's duty may bring about the annihilation of the Hooligans.
13mark20: Well, Thugg and Cami were from outside Berk. Boredom and stupidity make a bad combination, but Vikings will be Vikings. "Officially" eh? It's looking to be at least 24 chapters.
OechsnerC: He-he, you don't know the half of it. Here you go.
Mark Andrew: -Hiccup only built his carrier, since he is the only one who can command a ship. Unless he can get others who he can trust, he won't build more prototype warships.
-Yeah, poor Hiccup seems to attract strong-willed females.
-The 'anti-hive coalition' doesn't know the meatheads and bog-burglars have allied themselves with Hiccup and Beartooth. Stoick won't tarnish his precious 'Viking honor' by breaking his agreement with the berserkers.
-Yeah, my bad
Atomicsub927: 1) Welcome back, you flatter me. Here ya go. 2) Once again, amazing suggestions. I love all three, but I'll settle for Scrin'Faxi.
Romanleader505: 1) Thank you. 2) If I get the chance, I'll do it. 3) I'll try.
BINGO49: Thank you and me too. Ditto.
Justsomeguy111: 1) Lol, it was meant to be about how much endurance Hybrids have during a fight, but it's even funnier that way too. 2) all good, I know what you meant.
CynderX: Thank you. As for Camicazi, more interactions with her are coming.
Back to the action!
Chapter 21: Calm
Nar POV
Two weeks after the thing, sky near Meathead isles
Hiccup and Mira were riding Donnager, they flew towards the islands in the distance. Mira shuffled closer to him, Hiccup tensed, "Uh, Mira?".
"The air up here is cold", she leaned into him.
He sighed, 'Since meeting Camicazi, Mira and Heather have become more aggressive'. "Right", He thought back a few days ago when he had a weird dream.
Flashback, days before
The Citadel, Hiccup's workshop chamber
Hiccup was working on his new prototype siege weapon, 'The Boomer' was a cannon emplacement built from hive steel. He conceived the weapon when he was working on miniaturizing skipper bombs to be capable of being thrown by hand. While working on his mini bombs, Hiccup elbowed an unstable one. The tiny barrel rolled off the worktable and fell into his junk box.
The hive steel box contained bits and scraps from his experiments, his paperweight had fell into it the day before. The explosive fell into the box and detonated, launching the paperweight through two walls of hive polymer. Luckily, both rooms were storage chambers, so no one was injured.
The devastating power of the projectile had given Hiccup inspiration for a new weapon for the upcoming war. He hadn't left his workshop in days, eating meals brought to him by Mira and occasionally napping at his desk. Hiccup was now sketching possible modifications to the boomer, fighting to remain awake till he came up with something. His head bobbed again and again; exhaustion was catching up to him. His head fell slowly to the desktop, finally falling asleep.
Hiccup's dream
Hiccup POV
I crack my eyes open and see the blue sky above me, 'Huh, wasn't I just at my desk?'. When I look around, I was lying in a familiar open field, the green grass flowed like waves on the sea. I get up and call out, "Toothless…, anyone?!", my voice echoes. 'Ok, this is starting to get weird', I get up and begin walking to my homestead.
When I get there, I see a shadow of a person moving around inside, 'Is Mira cleaning my house again?'. I remember sometimes she tidies my house, smiling while sweeping or makes me lunch when I'd hide from mother. I step up to knock, then remember, 'Why am I knocking, this is my house!'. I open the door and step in, everything was just as I left it. A clatter draws my attention to my kitchen, I walk over and peer in the doorway.
'What?!', Heather was wearing an apron and cleaning dishes in my sink, I recognized her by her braided raven hair even though her back was to me. "Heather, what are you doing here?", no humans were allowed access to the Citadel, not even Beartooth.
She looks over her shoulder, her emerald green eyes light up, "Hiccup, honey you're back!". She turns back and wipes her hands with a hand towel, "I didn't expect you back so soon".
Heather begins to untie her apron, "What do you mean, why are you here?", she stops.
"Well I do live here, silly", the back ties fall to her sides.
"What, when di- ", my words die in my throat when she pulls off her apron, her stomach had a pronounced bulge.
She noticed me pale, "Honey, what's wrong?".
I shakenly point to her, "W-what, um a-are you?!".
Heather looks down, she smiles and places her hand on her bump, "Pregnant? Of course, we are married after all". I sway, overwhelmed by her response, "Woah, are you ok?".
She guides me down to my chair, I calm myself, "Yeah, I-I'm fine, it's just I wasn't expecting that". Heather giggled and walked over to a chair, she carefully eases herself down and begins to rub her belly, "Heather?".
"Yes?".
"When did- ", I was interrupted by the front door opening, I turned and was horrified at who it was.
Ruff saunters in and flops on the couch, she looks at me and grins, "Look who's home, Hot stuff". She stretches out, revealing her own smaller bump, 'Oh gods, her too?!'.
"Uh Ruff, who is the father?", she follows my sight, then bursts out laughing.
"Obviously you, H", she gently pats it, "Honestly, I never thought I would be a mom, but you decided otherwise". 'Oh gods, this can't be happening!', I get up and start hyperventilating, 'This can't be happening, this can't be happening'.
I hear someone running down the stairs, "What's going on, is Hiccy home?", I look up and lock eyes with Cami. I subconsciously look to her midsection, 'Yep this has got to be a bad dream', hers was bigger than Ruff's but smaller than Heather's.
My panicking escalated while Cami sat next to Ruff and began chatting, "Why is everyone with child?!".
"Calm down H", Ruff was worried.
"Hiccy, why are you freaking out?", Cami asked with concern.
"Oh gods, how did this happen?!", all three looked at each other.
"You married all of us", a woman said behind me.
The lady at the open front door had her blonde hair in a large braid hanging over her shoulder, the spiked skirt and two-headed battle axe made my fear turn to anger, "NO, this is a nightmare!". I growled out at a pregnant Astrid, "I would never marry someone like you, let alone give you a child!".
"Really, because this seems to say otherwise", she smirks while placing her hand on her stomach.
I scream and bolt down the hallway, their voices calling me back. The hall continues to extend, keeping the door out of my grasp, no matter how fast I sprint. The voices continue to grow louder, 'Someone, anyone please help me!', I seem to get closer to the nearing door.
Suddenly, the hall stops growing, and I crash into the door. It shatters like glass and I fall through it, I plunge into the dark void looking up at the lit doorway. It becomes a speck in the distance as I continue to fall through the void, I close my eyes as the freezing cold air whips my hair and clothes. I pivot and dive face first, 'Am I cursed to fall through this void for eternity?', a small familiar voice calls out.
"Hiccup", my eyes shoot open when I hear Mira's voice, the surface of a glowing lake appears below me. I place my arms in front of my head, 'This is going to hurt', I hit the water hard. The impact knocks the wind out of me, water fills my lungs as I try to breathe in. I thrash as I try to breathe, I hear her voice again, "Hiccup".
I plunge deeper and deeper into the depths, my vision becoming hazy as moments pass. I see a door floating out of reach, I use the last of my strength and swim to it. I twist the knob and shove the door, it swings open. I gasp and cough as I force the door closed, "I thought… I was going to drown".
"Hiccup", I hear Mira whisper behind me, I turn back and realize I'm on the second floor of my house.
Looking around, I see a door that shouldn't exist, "I don't remember having a room here". I grab the knob and gently turn it, the door creaks as I push it with my hand. The room was the size of my bedroom, the walls were painted white and curtains covered the windows. 'I've never seen a room like this', there were dressers and a wardrobe but no bed, I scanned the room until I spot it.
In the far corner was a crib like the one I had when I was born but was decorated with hive designs, not Norse. I was drawn to it by some low cooing coming from within, my heart raced as I neared the crib. A cloth was draped over it, hiding the source of the babbling. I drew it back enough to see a small form wrapped in furs, I reached in and my black chitin clawed hand was met by a tiny one covered by white chitin.
Its teeny blunt clawed fingers wrapped around my index claw; I felt my heart melt at the sensation. It grew stronger when limbs like my back ones emerged from under the furs.
Back in Hiccup's workshop chamber
Nar POV
Hiccup woke with a start, he shot up in his seat and looked around. He held his head, "Ugh, what a strange dream", he leaned back in his chair and stared at the ceiling. "It was a dream, right?", he asked no one. After drinking from his mug, Hiccup got back to work while a lingering warm feeling stayed in his heart.
Flashback end
The trio was closing in on the meathead home islands. Hiccup could see a man standing by the repaired catapult waving both his arms, 'I guess Thuggory was waiting for us'. I lean forward, "Donnager, set the crate down in that open area by the catapult".
"Understood, Alpha", the colossi slowed and coasted towards the waiting Thuggory, the cargo crate hanging below him swayed. Thuggory guided them where to set down the crate, they reached the spot and Hiccup patted Donnager. He chirped and descended; the crate landed with a metallic Thud.
Hiccup and Mira climbed off his colossi, Thuggory walked over to greet them, "Hey Hic, how ya' been?".
"Busy, you know getting the treaty ready to sign", the hybrid shook his friend's hand.
Thuggory looks over to the crate, "What is that?".
"Right, in exchange for agreeing to aid us against our enemies, I've convinced mother to allow me to cure your island", he and Mira walked over and unlatched the doors.
When the doors swung open, Thuggory eyed the burlap sacks. He turned to Hiccup, "C'mon Hic, you didn't need to do this, ya' know my dad and I think of you like family".
"Trust me Thugg, your warriors need to be well fed and in the best health to fight against those psychos", Hiccup gave his friend a serious look.
The Heir sighed, "You're right", he turns back and whistles to a group of workers waiting nearby.
"Mira here will direct your people on how to use the cure on your fields", although the men and women were Vikings, they were grateful to the hybrids for protecting them and their families from the berserkers. Hiccup placed his hand on a leather cylinder hanging across his chest piece, "Let's go find your dad, I'm sure he's waiting on this treaty".
"Right this way, brother", Thuggory draped his arm over Hiccup's shoulder. Behind them, Mira was helping load the sack onto carts brought by the workers, she watched Hiccup and his friend walk to the village.
Meathead meeting hall
Thuggory pushed open the doors and led in Hiccup, seated at the head table were the Meathead's council. Mogadon sat on the center raised throne, to his sides were the other members of the council. A burly red-haired man with scars dotting his scowling face eyed the calm Hiccup. The man muttered something to Mogadon, who frowned and nodded, "Alright, as you wish but keep it civil".
The man marched around the head table; his armored boots clunked as he stepped. His beard was in dreads, giving him a striking resemblance to Stoick. Hiccup suppressed his anger, 'This man isn't that heartless bastard'. The light from the torches glinted off the slightly oxidized spiked shoulder guards and greaves, at his hip was a two-headed battle axe. The weapon looked as though it had seemed its fair share of battle, he forced his rage down, 'Don't let the past corrupt the present!'. The man resembled the amalgamation of the two most responsible for his suffering, Hiccup wrestled with his resentment behind his calm facade.
The man stopped at arm's length away from him and Thuggory, cloaked sentinels stood ready to cut him down if he tried to harm their prince. The man moved to a knee, Hiccup was confused, "Thank you sir".
"Uh… what?", he looked to Thuggory, who shrugged.
The man rose and his scowl changed to a genuine smile, "I am Trygg Kolsson", he gave a short head bow. "I was away on a huntin' trip when the berserkers attacked, I am eternally grateful to you for saving my tribe. If it weren't for you, I would have lost the last family I have left. My young daughter was stayin' with her friend at their family's butcher shop, I would have lost her if the berserkers succeeded".
"Don't worry about it, I was glad to help", Hiccup extended his hand.
Trygg shook it while grinning, "You are a rare breed, young man".
He smirked, "So I've been told".
Mogadon cleared his throat, "Now with that settled, Hiccup do you have it?". he walked over to the council's table and opened the cylinder, then pulled free the treaty and rolled it out. Mogadon scanned over the writing, "Such fine penmanship, you would have made a great chief". Hiccup squeezed his fist, emitting audible pops, "My apologies".
"Don't worry, I'm sure you didn't mean any offense by it", he breathed out.
"Thank you, now let us get down to business", Mogadon and the council began reading the treaty. After an hour of discussing changes, the chief along with the council agreed to the terms.
One week later, Early morning, Above the open sea near the Bog Isles
Hiccup and Toothless rode on Siv, their destination lied far in the distance. The Bog Isles were like the Meathead's home, both tribes lived on two close large islands with many smaller ones scattered around. The difference being the bog that surrounded the Burglars islands, making sailing between them difficult. Lucky for Hiccup, he and his brother were flying on the cyan female colossi, "Alright girl, slow down when you spot the patrolling Bog ships".
"I understand, Alpha", Siv chirped.
After half an hour of flying, the trio spot the first of the Bogs fishing ships, the all-female crew looked up when a faint thumping sounded from above. The captain hollered to her preparing crew, "Oy, stand down, Bertha an' Cami are expectin' 'em".
The crew of the vessel made out the fury and cloaked man riding on Siv, one of the women muttered, "Imagine what other monstrosities that demon has under his control".
Siv descended and skimmed by the ship, "I heard he has his own Jörmungandr wreakin' hel on the berserkers", said a passing crew member carrying a net. The crew shivered, imagining a gigantic sea serpent coiling around a ship.
Soon, Siv closed on the island where most of the Bog village was built, Hiccup pulled out his spyglass. He scanned the village, Bogs were stationed at several catapults, "Huh, looks like their expecting us". He collapses it and leans down to Siv, "Remember girl, slow descent, we don't want to startle them".
"Yes Alpha", she trilled and tilted back, coasting to the stone platform by the docks.
The Bogs on the platform moved back, debris and sand were blown away by Siv's fluttering wings. Thud, the female colossi landed and folded in her wings, a woman ran off to fetch the chieftess and heir. Hiccup kept scanning the muttering crowd keeping a fearful distance from his colossi, Toothless clicked, "Brother, I can't smell or see males anywhere".
Hiccup patted his fury, he clicked, "Don't worry Toothless, I'll explain later". After a few tense moments, he finally spots the approaching Bertha and Camicazi. He released himself and his molossus, then hopped on the saddle. Toothless leapt off Siv and landed, he moved to stand beside the colossi.
Bertha stopped and eyed the collection of hive kin, "Quite the interesting lot ya' have, Hiccup".
Camicazi marched pass her mother, many Bogs were calling her away from Hiccup's brethren. She stopped in front of the rumbling Toothless, the fury didn't trust the girl, "Hey Hiccup, what's this thing?".
She tried reaching for Toothless, he hissed a warning, "His name is Toothless, he and Siv insisted they come with me".
"Siv?", Camicazi leaned pass the untrusting fury, locking eyes with Hiccup.
He dismounted Toothless and walked over to the bowing cyan colossi, "She is one of the fastest colossi besides mine", Siv purred at his stroking of her head.
"Ohhhkay, well she certainly is beautiful", Siv turns to her.
She leans closer to Camicazi, then tilts back after staring at her for a bit and chirps, "I like this one, Alpha".
"Really?", the colossi nods.
"Uh Hiccup, what did she say?", she looked to him.
"Siv likes you".
"You can understand her?", he gave Camicazi a look like she grew a second head.
"Well yes, my kin understand norse and I grew up in the hive".
Bertha cleared her throat, "Hiccup, do you have the treaty ready?". He unlooped the leather cylinder and handed it to the chieftess, she motioned for him to follow them to the meeting hall.
Siv trilled, Hiccup understood and nodded, "Chieftess Bertha, is there a grassy field where Siv can graze?". Bertha pointed to an unkept clearing near the forest, Siv chirped and lumbered over to it. Toothless hissed when the Bog shieldmaidens tensed as he moved to follow him, "Easy Toothless, they aren't going to harm us". Hiccup turned to Camicazi, "Right?", she nodded and calmed the Bogs.
Bog Burglar Hall, Hours later
"Is there anyone who wishes to further discuss the terms of the treaty?", Bertha looks to the other council members, they all shake their heads. "Good", the chieftess signed the document and slid it back into the tube. She handed the cylinder to him and asked, "Will you be heading off now?", seemingly reading her daughter's mind.
"I was planning on working on weaponry for the war, but I could hang around for a couple of hours", he replied while storing the container in Toothless's saddle bag, Camicazi smiled while sitting beside her mother. She walked over and grabbed Hiccup's arm, Toothless hissed at her.
"Oh, shush you", she turns to him, "Want to walk with me through my village, it's changed a lot since you last visited".
"Uh O-okay", he responded, having the memory of his unpleasant dream flash.
She noticed he had his face coverings and hood up, "Why are you still hiding your face?".
"People might freak out if they saw my face, haven't had the best reactions to it", he shrugged.
Bertha nodded, "It's alright Hiccy, mom will make sure no one messes with you". The women from the council all looked on as he pulled down his covering and hood, his auburn hair sprung out. After prepping himself, Hiccup turned around. He expected gasps and looks of disgust, not ones of amazement, "See, not everyone finds your handsome face frightening". He looked at a blushing Camicazi, she giggled and turned away.
Bog village
Hiccup and Camicazi walked together through the village, Toothless followed close behind his rider, "Your tribe's doing surprisingly well with the famine still plaguing the archipelago".
"Yep, mom thinks it has to do with how we get most of our food", she gave glares to passing girls who gazed too long at Hiccup. His alien appearance was alluring to women Camicazi's age, yet her glares dissuade most girls… most.
"You mean pirating ships that either get too close or can't get away fast enough?", he chuckled, oblivious to the approaching group of girls behind them.
"Hey Cami, who's your friend?", asked a brunet, she was taller than Camicazi but shorter than Hiccup.
She scowled at her, "His name is Hiccup, Abi".
"Hiccup, isn't that what they name the runt of the litter?", she snarked, her two friends snickered.
Camicazi squeezed his arm in annoyance, he turned to her, "Cami, you know that hurts".
The three girls were agape when his eyes met theirs, Abi stepped forward, "What are you?".
"I'm different", he huffed.
"You certainly are interesting, want to hang around with us?", Abi smirked at Camicazi, the red-haired twins behind her snickered. One had their braid to the left, the other to the right.
"Back off Abi, Hiccup's going with me!".
She placed her hand on her hip, "Care to wager that on a duel, little Cami?".
The Bog heir moved in front of Hiccup, "You bet your a- ".
Hiccup placed his arm on her shoulder, "I prefer to fight for myself if it's alright with you".
Bog Burglar training arena
Hiccup stood at one end, the left twin stretched at the other, "We'll see if you're as strong as you look".
Camicazi sat beside her mother on her own throne, "I can't believe you're letting them fight him".
Bertha turned to her, "Cami, you know our customs", her daughter looks away and huffs.
The chieftess calls out for the duelists to ready themselves, the twin pulls out a standard Viking long sword. Hiccup takes a breath and unsheathes the remnant, the crowd awes at his blade, "Fancy sword you got there". Bertha hollers for them to begin, the twin hefts her shield and charges at the relaxed teen. When she reaches the center of the arena, Hiccup closes the distance. He deflected her sword and smacked her shield aside, his speed stunned everyone. With a twist of his left, he brought his blade to her throat.
She dropped her sword and shield, Bertha yelled, "The winner, Hiccup!". The crowd cheers, Camicazi was amazed by his skill, "Next challenger!".
The other twin walked in the arena pass her sister, she spun her single headed axe in her right and struck her shield, "Ready?". She took her spot, Bertha yells for them to ready themselves. He sheathed the remnant and unhooked Eigengrau, the other twin whistled, "Such a beautiful axe, ya' must have some deep pockets". When the duel started, she ran at Hiccup with her axe raised.
The hybrid met her charge, his axe cleaved through her shield with ease. Hiccup sidestepped to avoid her downward chop, he grabbed her right forearm and flipped her over his shoulder. The twin hit the ground and found his axes edge near her throat, she released her weapon, "The winner once again, Hiccup!".
The other twin walks out, Bertha calls out, "Next Challe- ".
"My turn", Abi sauntered in, two crossed scabbards on her back. Camicazi growled at her arrogance, her mother announced their duel to begin. She unsheathed her two short swords and spun them in her hands, "Let's see how good you are". Hiccup unsheathed the remnant and switched his weapons, his sword in his left and axe in his right. Both duelists charged at each other, Abi slashed and hacked at him. Hiccup met each of her attacks quickly, his face unchanging at her taunts.
He spun to dodge a swipe, then unleashed a storm of hacks and slashes. Abi tried to block the blur, but her swords soon were heavily notched and chipped. Hiccup hooked her weapons and trapped them in his axe's beard, bringing the remnant to her neck. The crowd was speechless, Abi was the most skilled fighter in their tribe. She was second only to Camicazi, Bertha calls out, "Ha-ha, Hiccup wins again!".
Hiccup blew out a breath of relief as Abi trudged out, 'Finally, that was getting tiring'. He turns to leave, but sees the grinning Bog heir, "Um, Cami?".
"What, you didn't think I wouldn't want to have a go at you after seeing that display?", she pulled out a pair of long daggers from behind her. Camicazi tossed them in the air and caught them in a reverse grip, "You and me".
"Can we not, I really don't want to fight you".
"Nope, get ready Hiccy", she looked to her mother, who nods.
He sighs, "Care for a handicap?".
"Hel no, I don't want you to hold back!", Camicazi got into a stance.
"Fine", he knew not to underestimate her, even though she was his friend. Gasps erupted from the audience when he revealed his graspers, he passed his axe to his right grasper and pulled out his new saber from a scabbard strapped to his back. The curved sword's blade was a deep cyan, forge with Siv's discarded coverings. With his left grasper he pulled out thorn from his back, then flipped it reverse.
The mutterings from the crowd intensified when they see his unnatural appearance, Hiccup choked up on his axe and flipped it reverse, "Huh?". Camicazi was surprised by his grip, then smirked, 'Ohhh he's planning something crazy… and I like it!'.
"Begin!", Bertha bellowed, Hiccup and Camicazi bolted at each other. He cross-slashed at her, she slid under it and went for a slash of her own.
His approaching axe punch made her roll back, she skidded to a halt, "Okay, this is definitely goin' to be fun".
Hiccup slid the flat of his swords against each other, Shing, he smirked, "I agree". Camicazi rushed pass his swords and slid under his dagger strike, she sprung up behind him and drove her daggers at his back. Both were caught by his back-limbs, "Nice try Cami", the crowd cheered at the amazing sight.
The duel went on for minutes, each one more intense than the last. Both Hiccup and Camicazi dodged and slashed at each other, her agility gave her the edge over his previous opponents. They spun and flipped instead of blocking, their duel appearing more of an elaborate dance than a fight. The villagers in the stands were at the edge of their seats, watching their future chieftess battle it out with the Hive prince.
With a loud Ping, Camicazi's daggers crashed into Hiccup's swords, she broke off contact and backflipped to avoid his axe's mace pommel. She breathed heavily, their fast pace duel draining her energy, "Want to call it a draw, Cami?".
She shook her head, "I'm not going to be beaten by a boy!". Camicazi took a deep breath and charged, bringing her daggers up to block a downward slash from his Remnant. The red blade dug into their edges, cracking through them. They shattered and she sees the sword coming right at her, she closes her eyes. After a moment, she opens them to notice the edge just a hair's width from her face, Camicazi sighs, "I give".
Instead of groaning, the stands erupt in cheers. The Bogs never seen such an intense fight in ages, Bertha looks down at her daughter in pride. Hiccup pulls back the Remnant and sheaths it along with his other weapons, "That was one of the longest fights I've ever fought, you're incredible Cami". He holds out his hand, she smiles and shakes it.
"Thanks, you too", she eyes the saber strapped to his back, he follows her sight.
He pulls it off and holds it out for her, "Do you want it?".
Camicazi was stunned, "I-isn't it important to you?".
He shook his head, "Not really, it was more like an experiment".
Bertha made her way down into the arena, she placed her hand on her daughter's shoulder, "Go on dear, take it".
Camicazi carefully grasps the sabre's scabbard, she looks at him, "Thank you".
Hiccup smiles, "You're welcome", he turns and walks out of the arena.
Later, stone platform
Hiccup and Toothless stood by Siv, Camicazi had her gifted sword at her hip, "When are you gonna visit us again Hiccy?".
He hopped onto Toothless's saddle, "Probably in a week or two to set up the first of your skipper defensive emplacements". The fury leapt onto Siv, Hiccup secured himself and his brother. He leaned over and waved to Camicazi and Bertha, "See you soon!", the colossi fluttered her wings. The Bogs waved goodbye to their ally, seeing them disappear in the distance.
After an hour of leaving the Bog Isles, Hiccup turned to Toothless, "Hey bud, why didn't you like Cami?".
The fury huffed, "That female looks a lot like Nidingr".
Hiccup muttered, "I see, they do resemble each other". He felt Toothless nuzzle his side, "It's alright bud, I'm not mad. Just remember that Her and Cami are two different people, ok?".
"I will brother".
(A/N: Camicazi gets her sword 'invincible', again not like the one from the books.)
