Another day had past and still Chris could not remember anything of his past. When asked, nothing could come to him. They were always given the same answer.
The Draconians were currently sitting up on the hill of Serenity's hospital. There were many clouds blocking the rays of sunlight, so there was no reason to find shade. Serenity sat in a chair, forming a circle with the rest of her family. Apollo and Avalon were nestled in the grass alongside their parents while Black Widow was snuggled up against her rider Edelweiss, both currently sleeping.
"What are we going to do about him?", Windwalker groaned.
"What do you mean?", Re asked.
"What if he never remembers? What if he doesn't want to be apart of this family?", she answered.
"Don't say that! He will remember. We might not know how long, but he will eventually", Aurora chided.
"Hopefully. I'd hate to see him leave, again", Tenor commented.
They all murmured in agreement, remembering the day when Chris decided to leave them to see his birth parents. It was a dark time in their lives but eventually, that time came to past. Chris realized that they were just using him to get to his wife, Serenity. He died because of them; he got shot in the heart with an arrow, which was aimed at his wife. He would've died too if it weren't for Re intervening and sharing half his heart with his son. And that's why when whenever Chris gets hurt, Re would feel it and vice versa. However, Chris doesn't remember any of that.
"Where is brother by the way?", Apollo asked.
"I...I don't know. Wasn't he with you Serenity?", Re asked.
"No. He said something about doing something with Snotlout", Serenity replied.
"Oh great!", Windwalker said sarcastically as she got up.
"Let's go see what this is about", Windwalker stated as she nodded her head to Tenor to come with.
The Prime Minister and Captain of the Guard both trotted down the hill, searching for the latter's rider.
The walked throughout the village, looking for the human. They eventually found Hiccup and Toothless down by the forge.
"Oh hey you too. What brings you two down here?", Hiccup genuinely asked as he scratched behind Windwalker's ears, making her shudder in pleasure.
"We are trying to find Chris. Do you know where he is?", Tenor asked for Windwalker since she couldn't speak Norse.
"I honestly don't know. Last I remember, he was following...Snotlout", Hiccup groaned as he pieced it together.
"Do you know where they are?"
"Usually they are at the Academy", Hiccup responded, "Let's check there"
They soon arrived at the Academy to find Snotlout, the Twins, and their dragons, casually lounging in the center of the arena.
"Snotlout, where's Chris?", Hiccup asked.
"What? Oh Chris? I don't know. Shouldn't he be with Serenity?", Snotlout brushed off.
"Yeah, it's not like we're bossing him around and making him down all our chores or anything", Tuffnut chuckled.
Snotlout groaned in disappointment as Ruffnut jabbed her brother right in his gut.
"This little prank of yours needs to stop now", Tenor growled.
"It's not a prank. We aren't doing anything wrong. We are just asking for help doing our strenuous tasks that our oh wise chief has given us", Ruffnut stated as she got on her knees and started to praise Hiccup.
"Will you get up Ruff?", Hiccup sighed as he pinched the bridge if his nose.
"Seriously, where is he?", Tenor translated for Windwalker.
To answer her question, Chris walked in covered in mud and feathers. He huffed as he approached Snotlout and the Twins.
"Mighty Snotlout and Fearsome Twins, I have rallied the chickens into their coop", Chris panted as he bowed submissively.
"What?"
"What else shall you all have me do today?", Chris asked.
"Well, we-"
"You're not doing anything!", Tenor growled, getting in Snotlout's face.
He was about to say more when Chris stepped up.
"What are you doing to my masters!", Chris exclaimed.
"Snotlout and the Twins are not your masters. They never were and never will be", Hiccup explained.
"What do you mean?", Chris questioned.
"They took advantage of you, Chris. They thought it would be funny to make you into something you're not", Tenor said, giving the 3 a hard look.
Chris turned to the 3 and gave them a sad look.
"Is this true?"
They couldn't answer as Windwalker approached them, snarling. They gave the female Night Fury uneasy looks, nervously backing away.
"If you don't get your riders out of my sight, I will personally make them my practice targets", Windwalker growled.
"Why are you getting mad at as for?", Hookfang shot back.
"Because you 3 did nothing as your riders took advantage of my best friend, even though you knew it was wrong"
"We didn't know! Honest! He just came up with our riders and started working. We didn't think much of it", Barf responded.
"It's true, Windwalker!", Belch added.
"That still won't change the fact that we will have roasted human in about 20 seconds", Windwalker seethed.
The Zippleback and Nightmare looked at each other before scooping up their riders in their jaws and flying off.
"I'm so confused", Chris groaned.
"Don't worry. This won't happen again", Hiccup promised.
"Let's hope not", Tenor sighed.
Windwalker nuzzled her rider in the shoulder. However, Chris flinched away. Windwalker pulled back with a saddened face.
"I'm sorry. I'm still getting used to apparently knowing dragons for my whole life and having one of the deadliest being my best friend", Chris said sheepishly.
"It's fine. I don't expect you to just remember all of a sudden"
"If I remember", Chris said sullenly.
"You will Chris. You will"
With that settled, they all went back up to the hill.
"So Toothless, where's Raeya?", Windwalker asked.
"Oh um, she went out fishing. I would've gone with but you know, I can't", Toothless explained as he fanned his tailfin for her to see.
"Do you know when her family is arriving?"
"No...no I don't", Toothless remarked, a bit sad.
"Don't worry, she won't leave", Windwalker reassured.
"And how could you possibly know that?", Toothless said unexpectedly bitter.
"I just do"
"Windwalker, it is not possible to know that", Tenor butted in.
"I wouldn't expect you males to understand. It's a female thing", Windwalker replied.
"What are you guys talking about?", Hiccup asked.
"They're talking about the situation concerning Toothless' girlfriend", Chris blatantly explained.
All 2 1/2 Night Furies looked at Chris wide-eyed, especially Toothless.
"She's not my girlfriend!", Toothless nearly shouted.
Windwalker could only laugh while Tenor pinned his ears back, feeling bad for Toothless, although he couldn't hide his snicker.
"Toothless? Why didn't you tell me you had a girlfriend?", Hiccup exclaimed.
"I don't! Raeya isn't my mate!", Toothless blushed while snarling, remembering a certain incident that happened an hour ago.
When they continued laughing, he roughly swiped his tail under the 2 humans, making them fall to the ground heavily.
Their amusement was soon interrupted by the roar of a Night Fury fill the skies. That roar was soon joined by 3 others.
They all looked up and were shocked to see Raeya and 3 others land at the top of the hill where the Draconians were residing.
Raeya sighed, looking out at the vast ocean. She certainly did what she planned to do, which was to fish, but she had something else on her mind.
Specifically, 3 things bothered her: how she was gonna explain this to the King and Queen, how she was gonna set up her family to be caught, and Toothless.
The 1st two were intertwined together so as long as she somehow brought her family and the royal dragons to the cove, it should work itself out. However, the incident with Toothless took up most of her mind.
She was just relaxing, minding her own business as Barf & Belch left to do something. That somehow led to her being near Toothless by the forge as he was watching Hiccup in the forge. That, in turn, led to a small explosion, which caused her and the alpha to duck down. They slid forward until they both bumped into something soft.
They opened their eyes and quickly froze, stunned that their noses where touching. Raeya pulled back first, scared at how intimate she just unintentionally got with Toothless. She was only relieved that it happened near the side of the forge, where no one saw the incident.
She then quickly rushed off, claiming she was sorry and hungry, planning to go fishing. Within a blink of an eye, she was in the air and 400 yards away from Berk.
She didn't know what to do. She couldn't tell anybody. She had no one to turn to. Well, there was Kassandra, but they couldn't understand each other. Raeya groaned when she realized she was suppose to look over her when she was currently out to get fish.
Her worries were interrupted when her animal instincts flared and barrel rolled to the left, narrowly missing getting hit with a plasma blast. She flapped hard, trying to escape.
More plasma blasts were thrown her way and she weaved around them effortlessly. She would normally be scared and wonder who was trying to attack her, but she already knew who it was.
She flew through a batch of clouds and swirled around them into she flew out in a random direction. She emerged under the cloud line, looking around and heaving a sigh of relief when nothing came her way.
She roared out in surprise when a heavy weight dropped on her back. She tried to fly away but could nothing but tumble on the air as her wings were pinned. She could only look down as they were rapidly approaching a sea stack.
She slowed down greatly as a foreign pair of wings snapped open, catching the wind. She was then pinned to the ground when they got low enough.
"Not bad flying, although you'll still never be able to outfly me", Rhyax sneered.
"Get off of me you sack of scales!", Raeya hissed.
"I'm good. Thanks for asking", Rhyax said indignantly.
"Get off of your sister Rhyax", Moonfyre groaned as she and Sylerion landed.
Rhyax got off with a chuckle, looking at his parents while Raeya shook herself.
"Hello mother, father"
"Raeya? How you been?", Moonfyre inquired.
"I hope you didn't get injured when the storm hit", Moonfyre continued.
"Oh yes. The storm that coincidentally occurred right before we were about to rob the royal family", Rhyax said with a hint of malice.
"What are you implying Rhyax?", Raeya growled.
"You know damn well what I'm trying to get at. Trying to run away, again!", Rhyax seethed.
"Rhyax! Stop accusing your sister of false things!", Moonfyre exclaimed.
"If I ran away, I would've been long gone by now. And besides, I actually already put the plan into motion", Raeya sneered back.
"What do you mean 'set the plan into motion'?", Rhyax asked.
"It means I already got to the King and Queen already."
"This is typical Raeya. Planning on taking all the riches for yourself then?"
"No. It's called getting their trust so they don't suspect a thing, you idiot. I wouldn't expect you to understand. Your little brain probably couldn't process why I did it."
"Why you little-"
"SHUT IT!", Sylerion snarled.
This instantly quieted his two children.
"You two are fully grown yet you still bicker like hatchlings", Sylerion sighed, "Now please explain to us what you mean by setting the plan into motion."
Raeya then went on to explain what happened the first night she was there, how she met Toothless and his Viking companions as well as the Draconians, leaving out the fact that she took Windwalker's crown.
"They aligned themselves with humans?!", Moonfyre gasped, "What is this world coming to?"
"Trust me mother, I was shocked too. However, and I can't believe I'm saying this but, this humans are nice to dragons. They are not trying to trick us, or kill us or whatever."
"You're saying all humans are like this?", Sylerion pressed.
"I can't say all humans, but I know for sure these humans are like this. All I can say is for you to see it for yourself."
Sylerion looked down in thought. "Well, let's not keep the royal ones waiting. We'll go over to this Berk and introduce ourselves, saying we're planning to stay for a day or two to rest our wings. Then at night when no one else is awake, we'll converge and discuss more about our heist. Got it?"
They all nodded in agreement before taking to the skies once more, anxious for their plan to fall into action. All were nervous. 3 of them were nervous that they would pull off their heist scotch free while a certain Night Fury frantically tried to improvise a way to reveal her family's plans to the Draconians, hoping it wouldn't fall apart.
