They turned around and saw two kids glaring daggers at them with face flushed in anger followed by a guy with a bit beard and bulky muscle gasping for breathe.

"Whew, you kids should wait for this old man, you know?! " Eret said. The kids turned around and spitted their tongue out of Eret's face. Eret faking his anger by rolling up his sleeves and prepared to hit them. Then, the kids suddenly cried in front of him shocked Eret a bit. Tears were shimmering and flowing down to their cheeks acting like Eret really hit them, a sudden loud cried is released occupying the whole hall.

"WAHHHH!!!!!!!!!! "

Eret was like sweating bullets when he heard the cried. Kids crying was the last last thing he wanted to hear. Eret tried to soothe them but their crying was even louder.

"Eret, son of stupid Eret!!! Do something!!! " Camicazi pulled Eret's ear as she covered hers. "Ahhhh!!! Ahhhh!!!! It pains, Cami! " Ryder just shook his head and pat the kid's head.

"Kids, don't prank your uncle Eret anymore. Stop crying. You guys are hurting their ears. " Ryder said as he pointed at the adults. The kids still continue fake crying but they could see that aunty Cami was pulling uncle Eret's ear while uncle Eret was crying in pain and covering his other ear at the same time. Aunty Heather and uncle Thug was snuggling into each other trying to ignore the sound of thunder cried. The vikings had the same painful reaction as well as the twins were jumping up and down, shortest guy was rolling here and there, the fattest guy just stood there in daze like he was ready to go to Hell. The other two adult vikings were furrowing their eyebrow in pain while the two kids beside them hidding behind the adults trying to get away from the cried. Then, they stopped.

"Fine... "

"Oh great Odin, thank you for listening to our prayers!!! The one that me hating the most is kids crying. " Camicazi let go of her hand but still pulling Eret.

"Sheesh, you guys should be locked in your room, not running here and there and let uncle Eret gone crazy...? " Ryder pinched their cheeks and the kids shifted their gaze onto the land. The kids pouted as they put their hand behind, rubbing their bare hands nervously.

"Sorry...daddy. We're just bored and uncle Eret is not helping either. All he is saying that I'm Eret, son of the Eret or you kids should be proud to have such a handsome uncle... He's so annoying, so we ran away and that's how we came here... " The boy said as he pointed at uncle Eret. Ryder just covered his mouth to avoid his laugh leaked out and pat their heads.

"Are they your kids? " Stoick asked. "Yes, meet Zephyr and Nuffink. " Ryder said as he gestured the kids to the vikings. Stoick could see there was a familiar feeling around them but he just couldn't get the idea. The girl named Zephyr had two auburn brown pig tails on her back of the hair and a pair of blue eyes while the boy named Nuffink had a middle long shaggy blond hair and a pair of green eyes. Seeing both of them made him thought of someone else.

"How old are you? " Stoick asked. "I'm five while my little brother is 3 years old. " Zephyr exclaimed. Stoick wanted to ask them more but Ryder cutted him off. "Come on, kids. Dinner is ready, you should go to eat. Heather, take them. " Ryder called Heather to take the kids.

"What about you, daddy? " Nuffink asked. "I'll be there for another few minutes. Now go eating. " The kids nodded as Heather took their hands and went to the hall.

"That gal in the portrait... Was she their mother? " Gobber asked. Ryder hesitated but he nodded. "Where is she? " Fishlegs asked hoping his question did not anger him. However, Ryder ignored the question instead he just said "You guys must be hungry. Come on, you guys could have a feast. Then, we could settle your intentions first thing tomorrow morning. Cami, let Eret go. Seeing him like this is making me pity him. " Camicazi let Eret go harshly and ran towards the hall following by Eret.

"Finally!!! I'm starving. " Snoutlout shouted as he threw his hand onto the air. "Do we have chicken?! Cuz, I'm ready to eat the whole body!!! " Tuftnut said. "Bro, you such a dope... " Ruftnut rolled her eyes as Tuftnut was ready to slam her.

"Oh yeah?! "

"Yeah!!! "

"BE QUIET!!!! "

Stoick shouted and hufted at them feeling embarrassed by their altitude. Gobber just pinched the bridge of his nose, releasing a strained sighed wondering why the twins here. Gelica, Triton and Fishlegs just walked past them acting like they were strangers.

When all the vikings reached the hall, the scene was bustling with noise and excitement.

Some people were cheering and clanking glasses with each other, some people were chatting, some people were taking food from the fire, some people were drinking, some people were running here and there, some people were feeding their baby dragons. There are also plenty of dragons eating, growling, drinking and running. It was like human-dragon utopia. Overall, everyone was having a good time.

Stoick and the vikings could not even say anything about it. They just sat at the nearest table and waited for the food. Stoick saw the chief Ryder was sitting at the same table with Thuggary and the gang waving at the villagers with joy. Stoick was actually quite curious about the chieftess though. The atmosphere around the riders was quite tense and Ryder ignored the question when Stoick spoke about the chieftess was making him even more curious. He was so deep in thought until a sweet voice pulled him back into reality.

"Hello strangers. You guys are not from here, right? " The lady said. They just nodded in silent and continued eating. "I'm Elena. Pleased to meet you. " Elena said as she shook hand with Stoick. Then, Triton just asked a weird question.

"Sorry for interrupting, but I'm curious. What's story in chief anyway?"Triton asked, grabbing a chicken to eat. "Well, he was the most incredible chief that I've ever seen. He could build, cook, trained dragons and more!"

"What about the chieftess? " Gelica asked in a sudden. Then, Elena stood there in daze. Gelica could see there was a glimpse of green light across her eyes but it gone in a second. "Um, sorry?"

"I was asking about the chieftess... " Gelica said as she raised her eyebrows impatiently but the next thing she knew, Elena walked away from them as if she never encountered them before. "Whoever the chieftess is, she must be too much important to be spoken... " Gobber said.

The lady in that room continue her lifestyle by playing with her three favourite dragons which were Stormfly, the Deadly Nadder, Moonstar, the light fury, and Toothless, the night Fury who just flew back after fetch the chief to the hall. Ryder already let Toothless to take care of her. She was his top priority. The lady could hear the sound of people chatting and cheering made her feel envy about it.

"Sometime, I really hope that I can go out and meet the people I love every day. " The lady said.

"Chieftess... " Moonstar said. "It's alright... I know Ryder was just trying to protect me... "

Moonstar and Toothless looked at each other trying to think of something to cheer her up. Actually, there was more than just a mere protection but the dragons did not have the heart to tell her. The story behind Ryder and the lady was far too complicated for anyone to know or speak. The dragons could not risk the unknunkniwn consequences in telling her since she just temporarily forgotten her past. After all, that incident had caused her to lose her memories and voice. So the dragons just kept silent.

Everything was peaceful until the lady felt a sudden shiver down to her spine. A shush sound was heard throughout the bushes as she opened her ears. Even the dragons could feel the presence and they started growling as warning. The lady summoned her sword as she made her way slowly towards the bushes with dragons followed her. Every step she made was heavier than the step before as she was getting nearer to the bushes.

When she reached and touched it, nothing came out and a wave of relief washed over her thinking that she might had stressed herself. The dragons realised it too and slumped down onto the ground. She made her sword vanished as the aura she felt just now was faded as well. However, she still could not let her guard down feeling something was no right. The next thing she knew, Stormfly shielded the lady with her wings and she end up fainted in front of the lady.

The lady could see there was a tiny needle stuck on Stormfly's wing to her dismay. It was a tiny needle with a red ruby at the centre. What fear her the most was the colourful strands surrounded the needle.

"Oh no... Shadow..!!!! "

"Chieftess, we should go!!! Right now!!!!! " Toothless shouted ready to flap his wings to depart and so as Moonstar. The lady nodded. Just when she wanted to hop onto Toothless, her shadow materialised and appeared to be alive with bloody red eyes glaring at her. The lady wanted to summon her sword but nothing appeared to her dismay. She looked at the sky and there was a full moon there.

"Of all of times, it has to be now. "

The lady groaned in despair as she saw her shadow blocking her path to Toothless and Moonstar. She had to let the dragons go first, otherwise none of them will get out alive.

"Toothless, Moonstar, you guys need to go without me!!! " Toothless and Moonstar gasped as they started to shoot plasma blast towards the shadow but the shadow had tied her up and sinked her into the ground. Toothless went to smell her aura but nothing. "We need to tell Ryder now! "

"Don't need to tell me twice. Come on, we don't have any time!! " Moonstar shouted as she blow fire in front of her and vanished so as Toothless.
