So because Týr is the father of the child, Maximus Aresson will have some god power. Like super strength and immortality. But he still can get injured and feels pain. Just lessened. So a light stab wound will feel like being stinged. But of course that he will have to go through hard times until he gets his powers. Like, idk, torture? Is it good enough for a moment when he gets his god powers?
Let me know about this. And maybe he develops more powers. If you want more, please tell me your ideas.
Anyway, let me start with the chapter.
On the Isle of Berk, Maximus Aresson is working hard to make money. He needs some new clothes. Especially after the idiots ripped his favorite tunic in the Great Hall. And he is starting to get taller, his clothes are too little for him. Maximus was sweating from all the lifting he was doing. He has some muscle, but he is still young and not even strong enough to lift the logs without strain.
"Oh gods. The last logs and then it's done. I feel like I will die any second now. At least I have time to change and go for a bite at the Hall before dragon training." Panted the boy.
"Are you talking with yourself idiot? These are not that hard to lift. You are just too weak. Just like Useless." A wild Snotlout appears. With the twins as backup.
Maximus just glares at him, walks 2 feet towards them, and then drops the log in their arms. The 3 teens go down faster than a dragon caught by a bola. And when they try to lift the dead piece of wood, it barely moves.
Maximus rolls his eyes and takes the last log back and goes to put it in the right place. He then takes his things, gets paid and leaves the storage. Maximus is heading towards the village to buy his new clothes. He placed an order a few days ago and now he is going to take it and pay the price. He had enough for the week, but he thought that more money is never bad.
After taking his tunics and leggings home, he gets another pair of boots and a few furs for warmth at night.
Maximus then goes to Gobber to get his axes sharpened and he when he came out he saw Snotlout bullying Hiccup. Maximus got his axes and after securing them on his belt, he hoes towards the 4 teens.
"What happened Useless? Not so brave without your little friend? After we are done with you, maybe we go to Fishlegs and see how much he can resist before he starts to cry." They start to laugh, but it's not for a long time as Hiccup and the twins who are holding him, look up and see Maximus behind Snotlout practically boiling.
The twins start trembling when Maximus starts glaring and Hiccup starts grinning.
Of course Snotlout sees his grin and starts sneering, drawing his fist back.
"What are you grinning at Useless? Didn't I gave you enough beating for today? Maybe you want more?" Spats the brunette teen. When he is about to bring his fist forward, something grabs his arm. He spins around glaring at who stopped him and intending to hit the person, but when he comes face-to-face with a scowling Maximus, he pales and his eyes widen.
Maximus just glares more and then he says. "You have 10 seconds to leave before I throw you off the island. See you all in the arena for training. And don't even think about going after Fishlegs."
The three scared teens just run off and Maximus calms down enough to smile and nod to Hiccup before he hears something that make his eyes widen.
Mildew is carrying around a cart. He cultivates cabbages, but not many want to buy them. And they are actually very good. But vikings prefer meat over vegetables. "Come and get cabbages. Juicy and sweet cabbages!" A few vikings wander around him, look a bit and then they leave.
Maximus sees him and goes straight for the old man. You see, Maximus adores cabbages. Whenever he sees them he wants to eat some. So, going to Mildew, he asks.
"How much do you ask for a cabbage?"
Mildew, seeing that someone is interested, smiles and prays that he wants to buy some, he doesn't want to throw away good cabbages.
"Two coins per cabbage. They are perfect and I am the only one selling them on the island."
Maximus nods, thinking the price is good enough, not really expensive seeing as no one else farms them.
"I would want to get about 2 or 3. But I want them a bit harder. They are better if they don't squeeze easy under a bit of pressure. I want to be able to cut them, not make cabbage cream."
Mildew's smile only gets bigger when he sees someone actually knows something about cooking something other than meat. Vegetables aren't that bad. They make the trade, Maximus giving Mildew 6 coins for 3 hard cabbages.
Maximus already thinks about what he is going to prepare for dinner and then he gets an idea. Invite the teens over to eat together. He got some paper, a charcoal pencil and started writing formal invitations to dinner for the teens. Name, clan, profession. You name it. After 15 minutes he had them all. One for everyone. Hiccup, Fishlegs, Astrid, Snotlout, even the twins. He wanted to make friends with all of them.
After getting all the letters, he started walking towards the houses of every teen. First Hiccup and Fishlegs, then Astrid and then Snotlout and the twins last.
In the Hofferson house, Astrid's mother, Ingrid took the letter and started reading it before giving it to her daughter who was curious.
Ingrid smiled as she gave Astrid the letter. "It's from the new teen, Maximus. He is asking if you would like to go to dinner to his house." At those words, Astrid's eyes widened.
"Calm down, he is not asking for a date. He invited the other teens as well. Says he has something important to tell to all of you!"
Astrid thought about it and then accepted. She wanted to know what Maximus wanted to tell them.
The same thing happened in all the other houses with the rest of the teens. They all accepted, being curious.
1 hour later, around dinner time, all the teens left their houses and went to Maximus's house to get to know what al this is about. While they waited for dinner time, Maximus was busy. He was cooking everything he knew of.
He cooked Icelandic Cod, a few Salmons, a bit of sheep meat with mashed potatoes, he filled a few cups with yak milk and he even had a barrel full of mead in the backroom for special occasions. He also added something he likes very much to eat. He made some salad out of the cabbages he bought. He added oil, vinegar and a bit of salt. It tasted heavenly.
Suddenly he heard a knock on his door, and he opened it to see everyone outside waiting to enter. When they were all inside, he led them to the dining room and said. "Dinner is served!"
The teens looked in awe at all the food that Maximus made for them.
Astrid spoke first. "There is so much. Where did you learn to cook? This looks delicious!"
Maximus laughed and replied to the girl. "I actually learned by myself. I was alone for 3 years on an island. I had to learn to cook and sometimes I had visitors. Now, don't wait around, sit down and eat. And if you need anything, just tell me."
The teens nodded and went to sit down at the table. While they ate, they discussed about themselves, what they like and things like that. After about 30 minutes, they tasted the Salmon and when Fishlegs moaned at the taste, Maximus choked on water. "Wow, easy there. I didn't know I was that good at cooking. That must be the most erotic sound you ever made."
While Fishlegs blushed, Snotlout asked. "What is this sticky thing on the salmon. It tastes so good, but I don't recognize it."
Maximus smiling slightly, starts to explain. You see, last week, after the raid, I went in the forest for some berries. I didn't find any, but I stumbled upon a hive of bees. I took them carefully and made a bee farm outside. There are about 500 bees in the farm. In this moment, those bees are making honey. The honey is what I put on the fish. Its sweet and sticky. You can try it on bread slices in the morning. Anyway, the farm is big enough to make lots of honey, but it's hidden so the dragons don't burn it. At this moment, I have about 15 jars full of honey. Maybe if I go to the chief when he comes back, I can ask him if I can start selling the honey."
The teens liked the idea and supported it. Maximus now wanted to make his announcement. So he stood up and the others looked at him.
"Look, I know that some of us are not on good pages with each other. But I want to ask you if you want to leave the rivalry behind and be partners. Comrades. Friends. I will start with helping you with things you may need or like. What do you want or like to do?"
Astrid went first. "I like to train with my axe at the forest edge."
Fishlegs and Hiccup said they wanted to get stronger.
"We like pranks!" Exclaimed happily the twins.
Snotlout looked at the others and then said. "I want to learn to cook like this. The food is incredible. I don't have time to learn by myself."
Maximus nodded and then replied.
"I will help you and do things you like, but you can give some from yourselves. Astrid, try to bit a bit less aggressive Ruffnut and Tuffnut, if you want to make pranks, try something that doesn't involve mass destruction. Fishlegs, try and be a bit more serious, don't let others scare you, you are big enough to scare whoever makes you problems. If you want, I can help you. Snotlout, try being a bit nicer, at least towards Hiccup. If you really can't help it, you can set it for just glaring sometimes and maybe some lighter insults. No more beating people up, ok?" Snotlout looks serious and then nods.
"Now, from this moment forward, we are comrades, partners, friends. We will help and support each other forever. At good deeds and at treason. What do you say?"
The teens look at each other, having a silent conversation. They look serious, nod and then they all smile and reply in one word. "AYE!"
How is it? Good enough for a fourth chapter? In the next one, I think I will change the story a bit. What if instead of Astrid finding out about the dragon, Hiccup shows it to the gang. He shows them how he is training the dragon and trials to fly.
And then he finds out about the nest and he tells the rest about it and then try to convince Stoick about the plan. To let them bring dragons and then destroy the queen.
What do you say? Please leave reviews, I need to know what you think about the story. What you want me to add to it? Anyway, this is the chapter for today. Thanks for reading and Goodbye!
