Raeya looked down in thought. She was really confused on her part as well. The human didn't smell bad. In fact she smelled some type of floral scent as well as wood on her. But why did she save the human? Reasonably, she could've been a threat. Yet she didn't treat her like one.
Raeya shook her head. She shouldn't be worrying about this human, especially when she had a bigger problem at hand.
Tenor gently flew back to the village with his unconscious nephew across his back. Serenity continued to treat Chris despite being in the air. Everything was under control. She just needed to get Chris onto a bed. More of her supplies were also back at Berk.
"Just hold on a little bit longer", Serenity whispered to Chris.
Tenor landed as smoothly as he could outside Serenity's house that Stoick constructed for a few years ago when she used to stay at Berk.
They quickly rushed to the house and gently transferred Chris from Tenor's saddle to the bed. Windwalker was quietly following from behind.
Serenity then ran to a nearby storage baskets and was relieved to see that most of her medical supplies were still intact. With the life of her husband depending on it, she immediately got to work.
Everybody else, minus Raeya, flew over to Serenity's house, hoping she would be there.
Their worries were calmed when they saw Tenor and Windwalker waiting patiently outside.
"Where's Chris? Is he alright?", Aurora asked anxiously.
"So far yes. He's in good hands", Tenor said calmly.
"Tenor did you not see the amount of blood gushing out of his head?!", Windwalker asked indignantly.
"Windwalker you need to calm down. We both know he has been in worse situations than this", Re replied.
Windwalker closed her eyes and let out the breathe she didn't know she was holding, slumping to the ground as well.
Tenor went over to her and laid down next to her, gently wrapping a wing around her. "Hey. Chris is going to be okay. I know you're worried and I would be too. In fact I would be just like you if that was Serenity in there. My nephew is your best friend and you have every right to be worried; It shows you care. But have a little faith in his mate. She can do wonders". As he said this, he gently nuzzled her neck, trying his best to soothe his love.
Windwalker sighed and nuzzled him back softly.
"And stop blaming yourself. You couldn't possibly foresee that the girl was going to yank Chris from your saddle. I'm just relieved that you saved him from hitting the ground. If you didn't intervene, Chris would probably be in a worse condition than he is now", Tenor added.
"Yeah. You're probably right", Windwalker exhaled. She then lifted her head when she realized something.
"Where's the female human?", Windwalker asked.
"She is being held in a cell until she is interrogated", Re answered.
"Well if you don't mind me, I'm going to ask her some questions of my own", Windwalker seethed as she got up.
"Hold it Windwalker! You will not harm her", Re ordered.
"I'm not going to harm her. Just make sure she doesn't escape", Windwalker lied.
"Raeya is already doing that. So I suggest you wait here and make sure Chris is okay", Re responded.
Windwalker huffed and went back to lay down with Tenor.
"Well, while Serenity is healing Chris, why don't we go and question her now?", Hiccup suggested as he got back on Toothless.
"That's a good idea", Re said as he turned around and took off with the others, flanked by Aurora.
"How long am am I gonna be in here?", Kassandra groaned.
The black dragon stopped engaging in "conversation" awhile ago and was currently sleeping she suspected.
Just then, the group of dragons and their riders that caught her landed outside. Their landing woke Raeya up.
"What's going on?", Raeya asked.
"We are going to find out who she is and why she is here", Aurora responded.
"Has she given you any trouble?", Aurora continued.
"No. She is actually pretty harmless", Raeya answered.
"If she was able to hurt my son, she is not harmless", Re stated.
Kassandra looked up when she heard noise coming her way. She straightened up when she saw the blonde woman along with a scrawny brunette man walk up to her cell.
The blonde woman grabbed her roughly and dragged her throughout the village. Kassandra was surrounded on all sides by dragons and those ugly-looking people. She had never seen so much hair on a body before!
Before long they dragged her up these steep steps leading to the tall building she saw earlier. Now that she was closer, she saw 2 statues of a big, burly man with a majestic beard lining both sides of the entrance.
When she was forced into the place she was immediately overwhelmed with an acrid smell. It smelt like bad wine and wet wood to her.
She was then tied to a chair while surrounded by the riders' dragons and the riders themselves. They didn't look happy. Then again if she was in their position, she wouldn't be happy either.
They all had sour looks on their faces except that thin, brunette man. He had what looked like a concern expression etched onto his features.
That man went up to her and looked her dead in the eye. Kassandra tilted her head as the man started to speak gibberish. At least that's what it sounded like to her.
"I don't know what you are saying", Kassandra said really slow and long.
The man scrunched up his face in confusion before turning back and discussing something with the rest of his people. Her faced reeled back in disbelief when she saw the man communicated with the dragons in armor.
"What is this?", she asked in shock.
They all looked at each other before the blue dragon in the silver armor approached her. Kassandra squirmed, afraid of what the beast was going to do to her.
Aurora got really close to Kassandra until she was face-to-face with her. Kassandra scrunched her eyes closed and looked away, preparing for the dragon to bite her head off.
She was taken by surprise when she felt a warm blast of air flow across her face. Her throat immediately burned and went dry. She coughed a bit as her throat stopped burning but now got scratchy. Her throat suddenly stopped acting up and went back to normal. Although it felt weird to her opened her eyes again and noticed the blue dragon returned to the others.
"What did you do? Why did my throat burn? Were you trying to choke me?", Kassandra asked.
"No. I simply used a translation spell on you. Now you can understand us just like we can understand you", Aurora replied.
Kassandra's eyes bulged out of her sockets. She thought she was hallucinating for a moment. Did that dragon just talk to her?
"What?", Kassandra asked as she went pale.
"You can understand us as we can understand you", a beefy-looking but short, black-haired man said, with a hint of annoyance.
She thrashed in her chair when she realized she could now understand both the dragon and the man.
"What type of sorcery is this?", she blurted out.
"It isn't sorcery, just dragon magic", Aurora answered.
"Magic? Dragons? Dragons with magic?! What is going on?", Kassandra exclaimed.
"We are going to be the ones asking the questions. Now tell me, who are you and what are you doing on my island?", Hiccup asked, taking over.
"Who are you?", Kassandra asked.
"I asked you first. Now tell me", Hiccup demanded.
Kassandra's eyes darted around before they finally landed on Hiccup's. "My name is Kassandra and I come from a land very far away from here."
"Kassandra huh? Weird name. Then again, I have a weird name too", Hiccup thought out loud.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Hiccup. And I am the chief of Berk", Hiccup stated.
"What's Beeeerrrrkk?"
"This is Berk. It's the village you are in."
"You're the chief?", Kassandra asked incredulously.
"Yes."
"How did you become chief?"
"Sorry, but you are gonna answer everything we ask of you. You comply and you won't be harmed. If you don't, I will let my allies take over", Hiccup declared as he gestured to the Draconians," and they aren't happy with you."
"What did I do? I didn't do anything to them", Kassandra retorted.
"That man you jerked out of the saddle when you were caught is seriously injured right now. That man is their son and I'm sure you wouldn't want to deal with an angry dragon, especially when you hurt their children", Hiccup explained.
Kassandra titled her head in confusion before it dawned on her who he was talking about.
"How is he their son?"
"You know what? I think I'll let them deal with you. You seem like you don't want to answer to me", Hiccup shrugged as started to walk away.
"Wait wait wait! Okay. I'll tell you everything!", Kassandra panicked.
Hiccup turned back around and pulled up a stool, waiting to hear the story to come. Kassandra was nervous, hoping they would understand after all this.
