Chapter 3:
Berk was now in its rush hour as everyone was getting their daily supplies. At the Forge, Gobber was sharpening a dragon tooth. Ruffnut was taking orders from customers and Fishlegs was making saddles. Snotlout was flirting with his wife
Rufflegs was petting Piglet. Junior and Dumbnut were have a thumb-war. And Spoillout was sweeping the floor. (If there is something he has then his dad, it's discipline.). Astrid was walking to the Forge were everyone was congratulating her on her 18th year as chieftess, she misses Hiccup dearly, she also wishes that Hiccup was with her in spirit. As she walked into the Forge she saw Gobber. "Any sign of them?". Gobber groaned. "Nah. Probably flown over the edge of Asgard by now.". Fishlegs agreed. "Ye Astrid, except it. He's too much like his dad.". Astrid sighed. "That's why I can't loose him.".
But then he and his dragon landed with Frida and Thunderstorm behind. Bryan handed one of the three children over. "Get them to the healer, I got to speak to my mother." With that he bolted to the Forge. Running past a group of screeching girls. All calling him some weird things he presume were to flirt with him. He got to the Forge and was greeted by hugging Gobber. "Hey uncle Gobber, nice to see ye.". He got loose and went for his mother. "Mom, we have an issue. Frida and I were flying and we ended up at a village, but the whole thing was torn apart. If found a wounded villager who said, Killclaw is coming. Does that name mean anything to you?". Everyone went silent. Astrid then grabbed her son's shoulders. The young man was 6'2 so she had to look up. "Kai Killclaw?" she asked. Bryan nodded. "That's him.".
Astrid was running to the dragon stables and yelling orders. "Code 19! Lock it down!". Villagers sprung into action, locking it all down and dragons getting into pens. Bryan saw this protocol ones. But he was too young to remember. Frida was by his side. Astrid then looked at her son. "Get inside, this might get messy.". Bryan scoffed. "Why? Who is this guy?". Astrid eyed him. "Kai Killclaw is a psychopath, who kills for fun. World domination is his game. If you say he is coming into the Archipelago, he will have a dragon army.". Bryan then remembered that his mother told him stories of this. Drago Bludvist was also a warlord. He knew he had to do something. "Mom, why do we wait for him, I can fly out, find him and take him out.". But Astrid wasn't up for this. "No, we have to defend the island.". Bryan cut in. "We can't if we don't know he is coming.". Astrid then looked at him. "I am not loosing you too." She said it with a tear. Bryan groaned. "Mom, dad's dead, there's nothing we can do about it, stop thinking on the past. Let me do this." He practically begged. Astrid shook her head. "I am sorry.". But he wasn't giving up. He jumped on Screech and flew out right before the gates closed. With Frida on his tail. Astrid yelled after him but he was gone. With a grunt she hopped onto Stormfly and flew out.
In the far edges of the sea was a man. He and his crew were loading dragons onto a ship. But got attacked by Bryan and Screech. Landing he pulled out his inferno, a weapon he based off of his father's. The dragon trappers were now in fear. Their leader stepped forward. "You're not the Night Rider, are you?". This left Bryan confused. "No.". The dragon hunter then gasped. "Well-well-well. Look who it is. Bryan Haddock the 4th.". Bryan's eyebrows shot up. "How do you know my name?". The man smirked. "You don't remember, you were, too small and weak to remember.". He then felt an axe blade at his throat. All the dragon riders were there. The man looked at her. "Astrid Haddock. Been some time.". She glared at him. "Rucas, you dragon hunting scum.". Bryan frowned. "You know this guy?". Rucas laughed. "You never told him did you?" he mocked. Astrid then tensed. Snot, Fish, Ruff, Tuff were now sweating. Gobber on the other hand was crying. Astrid then sniffed.
"Bryan, this man, works for the man who killed your father.". Bryan, Frida, Spoillout, Rufflegs and the twins were gasping. Bryan didn't understand. "You, you said he died in a skydiving accident!". She cried. "I lied.". Bryan then sat down. "How did he die?". Snotlout then grabbed Rucas while Astrid stood before him.
"Shortly after you were born a war broke out in Berk. As your father was fighting, you and I were hiding. But Rucas here found me, he took you and his men took me to see their leader. Your father saw us, he surrendered himself to the enemy. Only to get stabbed in the gut. His body thrown over the cliff. The enemy left just like that. I vowed to never loose you too.". She wanted to stroke his cheek but Bryan stood up. "That's it? Eighteen years of my life, was a lie?" he mounted Screech and looked at his mother. "This is personal now, I will find Killclaw, and I will kill him.". With that he took off.
