Hello to whoever will read this. Probably this chapter won't be long, because i didn't really thought it out. It's one of those chapters that you know what will happen but you can't but it into words. Anyway in this one I'm trying something new that it was told to me. Hope you enjoy.Two weeks. Two weeks since Hiccup left Berk, because he chose to follow the way of peace with the dragons. Everyone on Berk were happy that Hiccup the Useless was gone. Now, they didn't have to clean up his messes, they were free of him. People still thought that he was crazy wanting to be friends with those beasts. Everyone thought he was insane except one. Astrid was rethinking her whole life, ever since she found his notebook.
Inside were written Hiccup's most inner thoughts. In the first pages she found written in various ways the same words.
"Useless" "Disappointment" "Stupid".
Those were words that the village said to him throughout his life. She continued to look bypassing the pages with other words, and she found some sort of a diary. At first all his logs were depressing as they pictured his life and the torture he withstood all those years. Then the logs changed, talking about inventions such as a flaming sword, a special shield that can change into a catapult and many more. Towards the end, the logs became more optimistic, talking about someone with the name "T." Astrid thought that it might be the dragon's name but she didn't find any more clues.
What she saw next was a designe for a tail fin, which she found odd, why would there be drawing of a tail fin.
In the last page was another drawing. A portrait of a person, it was Astrid's portrait. She dropped the notebook, she didn't remember letting him drew her, but there it was, a full ditailed portrait of her, with only one word below it. Astrid remembered that when she read it she dropped the notebook on the floor of her room, since it was there that she was reading it in secret.
She had been crying since that day. She thought that it was her fault that Hiccup left, because she treated him horrible. Her parents were worried, their daughter never cried, not even when her favourite uncle was killed by the Flightmare when she was little. Her mother knocked on her daughter's door.
"Astrid dear, please tell me what is wrong. I don't want to hear you cry, it breaks my heart" Astra Hofferson said behind the locked door.
"Leave me alone! I don't want to see anyone" was the only answer the mother got.
"Astrid, open the door right now. You shouldn't cry over anything. You are a Hofferson. And Hoffersons NEVER cry they make others cry." Her father Asmund said.
She sighed. It always was like this. 'Dad is right. I always have to be the best. I mustn't show weakness or i will bring same to my family.' she thought.
'But what about Hiccup?' came a voice from inside her head.
'What about him?' Astrid asked putting aside the fact that she was speaking to herself.
'What if he's right and we CAN have peace with the dragons. Think the possibilities. We could be free! No worries, no stress, no..no parents. We could be free with a dragon on our side. Just think.' said the voice
'Free...I'm a Viking of Berk. My dream is to become a shield maiden and restore the Hofferson name. I'm free' Astrid replied.
No answer. ' Guess she understood that she is wrong. I am free'.
"A Valkyrie huh?" she murmured remembering the drawing, then she fell to asleep.
High above the clouds, where you could see no land and no sea just the infinite horizon, a black dragon with a person on top of him flew in such speeds that it could very well break the sound barrier.
"Yeah! that was... dangerous... idiotic...and AWESOME! I don't understand Toothless, why do you even land bud?" the auburn haired boy asked.
''well we DO have to sleep you know'' Toothless remarked in dragonese. Dragonese was an ancient language that was mainly used by dragons. It wasn't hard to learned it, Hiccup found himself to understand easy words such as yes, no, food, and of course fly.
Something they both didn't know was that when a human and a dragon bond amazing things can happen, like communicate in their heads, although that was extremely rare even those who bonded with a dragon.
"You know bud, everything we feel, see, smell right now has a word. It can be described perfectly with one word. Freedom" Hiccup said raising his hand and inhaling deeply.
"We are free bud. We can go anywhere and do anything."
"No" Toothless said looking forward to a flock of Deadly Nadders who were carrying food.
"Yeah, there IS still her to deal with." the boy said while sifting positions. Toothless flew away from the flock before they see them. The queen, after Hiccup's arrival in the nest, had been fixed on find them and eat them. That was the reason as to why, they always changed islands. If they didn't her dragons would find them and lead them to Her.
After an hour they returned to their cave. When the went inside, Hiccup got three fishes from a basket. One for him, which he cooked, and the other teo for Toothless. After their dinner thry settled down next to the fire that Toothless always lighted up.
"Ok bud let's think a way to take her down." Hiccup said and they started forming plans for the queen's demise.
On Berk, someone had lost his sleep this two weeks. Stoick the Vast, chief of the tribe was both sad and angered with his son. He just couldn't believe it that his son, the only thing left from his wife, had left and joined the dragons. What was most shocking was that raven that landed on his soldier.
'Does that mean that Odin is helping my son? No way we are Vikings Odin helps the Vikings not those Devils' he thought.
"Tomorrow I will go to the Seer and find out what the Gods want."He said before he went to sleep.
The next day Stoick moved swiftly towards the Seer's home. It was a cabin just before the forest, with covered windows and white smoke coming from the chimney.
"Who comes to ask the Gods for information?" came a voice from inside the house.
"I want to know where my son is and what have the Gods in store fot him" Stoick said entering the house.
"Ah, the young raven that have captured the interest of the Gods. Yes, I see a black creature surrounded by fire. Fire and smoke exit from the mountain's mouth and the creature is trying to escape it." Said the Seer.
"Hiccup. Hiccup is the black creature. Hiccup is the raven. Tell me what will happen to him" Stoick asked feared that his son would die.
"The only thing that I see is a city made of marble and statues of heroes. I also see a white wolf with the black creature. That is what I see." The Seer finished. Stoick didn't say anything. He just left the house and return to his chiefly duties, with no words and no emotions.
Hiccup had just finished preparing for the journey.
"If everything goes according to plan bud, me, you and the queen will live" he said.
His plan was to negotiate with Her a way for both parties to live in peace. If she didn't listen, then they would have no choice but to take her down.
Hours past and Hiccup could now see the 'Dragon Island' he exhaled and positioned himself better on Toothless.
"This is it" he said
"Yeah, let's hope she doesn't want a fight" Toothless said.
'So the little dovah has come back and with his human pet' She said.
"He is not my pet. He is my friend, and we have come here to talk with.. your Highness in order to make peace with Vikings" Toothless said. He was actually hesitant to call her Highness for whatever reason. She didn't like his tone. No. Not one bit.
'Bring him forward NOW!' She demanded.
Hiccup stepped forward and with a slight bow he began.
"Your majesty, for years you were at war with us. But now you can change all that. Please stop this war and this circle of hatred. Let me show you a different way. A way of peace. You have lost many dragons and we have lost many Vikings. Isn't time to stop?" he asked. The queen just eyed him and then she laughed.
'Hahahahaha. You are amusing human i will give you that. What you say simple can not happen. Vikings are greedy, selfish creatures that know nothing more but the art of war. You think that after so many years i will simple surrender? Don't insult me I would rather die than listen to some kid.' She said losing her patience.
"I didn't mean for you to surrender. I just want to watch humans and dragons live together." He said looking down. Toothless came closer and pressed his nostrils in his palm.
"Please your Highness listen to him. I know that humans have many flaws, but they also have many positive traits. Hiccup is my friend, my ally, my partner, my...my family." Toothless said now.
'Hahahaha. You are as stupid as your parents. I would have killed you too if you weren't my last Night Fury. Hahaha'
''What?! You told me that my parents were killed by humans. You...You lied to me?''
'Of course I lied. And you were stupid enough to believe it. I said what I said to make you hate humans even more. But YOU just made friends with them. You are no dovah you are a traitor. And traitors MUST DIE.' She roared. At her command hundreds of dragons rushed to kill them. Toothless motioned for Hiccup to get on his back so they could escape. Hiccup did as told but they were surprised when they saw Her chasing them.
"Guess it's plan B then." Hiccup said sarcastically with a hind of fear and sadness.
"Let's she if those wings work bud" he put his hand on Toothless' side and the flew up into they dark clouds.
'DOVAH, HUMAN PREPARE TO DIE. PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DOOM.'
Done. Chapter 5 'Wings of freedom' is finished. i wrote the dialogues using a method that someone of the reviewers told me. I haven't made my decision yet I'm thinking if i should keep it or not. Anyway next chapter WON'T be the fight because I'm not good at writing fighting scenes. If you wanted to read it I'm sorry. Thank you for reading.
