Hello to whoever will read this. No words. Hope you enjoy it.
After many hours of flying the castle of Arendelle was in view. The three dragon riders landed at the middle of the courtyard, where they were welcomed by Anna, Kristof and Olaf.
"Thank you for coming dragon riders, my sister will be delighted to see you." princess Anna said in a formal tone. In truth see wanted to run to Hiccup and hugged him for everything he did for her sister, but that was not the protocol. When the five people and the walking snowman enter the battle room they saw several old men, clearly experienced in this kind of situations, and in the head of the table the young Queen of Arendelle in all her glory and beauty. Hiccup couldn't find the words to describe her, he was simply Frozen, she had blonde hair with a hint of white. She was wearing a blue and white armour, more decorative than practical. George seen that his friend was speechless smirked and made a mental note to tease him later, but for now he stepped forward, bowed to the Queen and asked how could they be of assistance. The blonde beauty stood up smiling.
"Still cutting to the chase George. You haven't changed one bit."
"Well your message did say that you needed our help immediately, so here we are at your service Queen Elsa." George said finishing with a bow. He didn't want to sound sarcastic but all those years with Hiccup, he just couldn't help it.
"Indeed here you are. I will be brief. I want you to free their dragons. That should stop them from hurting ours. In the meantime, sir James will lead the men to fend off the invaders. Kristof and Anna will take care of the wounded men and dragons." All bowed to the Queen's command and left.
Elsa could see from her balcony the whole city. Death, fire and more death. That was everything that those Northmen left behind. She heard a familiar cry and turn around, her Snow Wraith wanted to take action and help.
"I know girl. I want to help too, but the Council wouldn't allow it. Besides, Arctica, Hiccup is here, we will win." Elsa said scratching Arctica's chin. In truth though see was afraid, not for her safety but for her sister's and her friend's. She felt powerless, she wanted to leave and help, but she couldn't even though she was the queen. She WAS the queen she could go anywhere, she could go out and help without anyone asking. A loud boom could be heard coming from the main ship. After a minute all the captured were free and they flew away. Behind them, the Night Fury emerged and suddenly all the Vikings on board stopped and watched as the legendary dragon roared and then everyone fell to the water for protection. The battle was won. However this raid raised questions to the young rider. Why would Vikings sail out of the Archipelago? Why were they using dragons? Many things were still in the shadows but one thing was certain, something must have happened in the Archipelago that was forcing those men to sail South.
Several hours later Hiccup, George and Ruby were dining with Queen Elsa and princess Anna. They were talking about this Biking raid. The Queen said that it started just a few weeks ago, but it really escalated fives days ago when a massive black ship docked in Arendelle and from it a man came out. The man said that he will spare Arendelle if the Queen surrendered all the dragons to him. Of course, the Queen declined and said that the dragons were part of their society. The man turned around and he yelled that the dragons shall be tgeir doom.
Hiccup was listening every word. This was not the first time he heard about this man. He learnt from other stories that this man was insane and wanted nothing more than death and destruction. He had to learn were this man was and stop him from doing any more harm. Suddenly a guard walked in panting. He said that oone more Viking ship is coming and that is different from the others. The three riders rushed to their dragons so that they could beat the ship to the docks. When they arrived the ship was coming closer and closer to the dock, the strange thing was that ship was familiar to Hiccup but couldn't place it from where. They waited for the ship to dock, and Viking warriors to emerge but what came out surprised all three of them. A weak looking man clearly frightened by the dragons that were snarling at him said.
"He-Hello, m-my name is Johann and I'm a trader. I travel all around the Archipelago to find rare items and stories to tell. I must say though in all my travels I never had the opportunity to see a Night Fury, they are simply amazing." The weak looking man said.
'Trader Johann? He must know what is happening in the Archipelago.' Hiccup thought.
"Tell me trader. Why are Vikings attacking these waters? It's a rare phenomenon for Vikings tto sail outside the boundaries of the Archipelago." Hiccup said with a strong tone, so that Johann couldn't recognise him. The trader's face saddened.
"Oh yes. you see there's a war going on between the different tribes. Everything would be normal, I mean they are Viking drinking, fighting and sailing is all they know, but not this time. This time they use dragons. Three major tribes have been fighting WHILE riding dragons!" Trader Johann remarked. Hiccup sighed this was never gonna stop. At first they were at war with the dragons, now they were at war with themselves. Hiccup let Johann stay and went to the camp where they were staying.
He sat on a chair and started thinking whether or not to help those people. He would have to choose, go back there to the people that humiliated him and tortured him for 15 years or..or stay where he is with new friends and family. This was a tough one. His mind was telling 'NO' and yet his heard couldn't let those people go. Without realising it he fell asleep.
The next morning Hiccup woke up and went straight to the castle, where his friends were. On the way he found Elsa walking in the garden of the castle, she was wearing her usual dress made of ice, she smiled when she noticed Hiccup walking towards her. He had become one of her closest friends and she to him. Hiccup didn't lose the chance to ask her opinion about his choice.
"So what do you think I should do?" Hiccup asked after he told her what trader Johann said. He wanted to know what she was thinking since she was one of his allies.
In the dining room, the two riders were astonished when they heard their leader's choice. They didn't even knew about his dilemma, and yet they were speechless. Hiccup said that he was going back to tge Barbaric Archipelago, in order to bring peace between the Viking tribes. He didn't asked them if they wanted to come with him. He didn't want to pressure them. However, when both of them didn't volunteered to come, Hiccup couldn't help but feel hurt. He didn't say it but it was evident in his face, that he was disappointed, something that Elsa caught on. The dinner went on without any more interruptions. When Hiccup went flying with Toothless, Elsa summoned George to her office, she was going to scold him for not wanting to help his friend.
"Why didn't you volunteered to help Hiccup with his mission? Isn't he your friend? Friends help each other no matter what! You should be ashamed of your self. Hiccup would help you without a second thought." She yelled at him. George couldn't help but feel confused.
"What? You think that I'm not going to help him? I didn't say anything because I thought I didn't need to. Of course I'm going with him. There was never any other choice." He said "Besides, he would be lost without me" he chuckled. Elsa relaxed. She was stupid to think that George would abandon Hiccup. Now all that was left was Ruby. She was going to be difficult. She found her in the stables feeding her dragon which was overprotected of her.
"Ok big fellow eat up. Afet that we have to patrol the water for any remaining Vikings." she said with a cheerful voice. She loved her dragon, it was a gift from her sister. Scorpio, as she was calling him, was the youngest of the four Triple Stryke that her mother had saved. Her sister got the oldest, while the other two went to her two best friends. The all were recruited by George to help him and Hiccup save their city by a terrible black dragon. Everything was perfect, until that mission, where her sister lost her arm and her dragon, one of her friends deserted,while the other lost her life. It broke Ruby. She was determined to find her friend and bring her back. That determination would later be her outdoing. She became distant to everyone including Hiccup and George. she only cared for her dragon's safety.
'There is no way she will risk her dragon for some Vikings.' Elsa thought as she watched her climbed Scorpio and leave.
Hiccup was ready to leave alone for Berk. He would have to face his father again, something he wasn't quite ready to do.
"Where fo you think you're going?" came a voice behind him. He turned around and saw George with Nightwing.
"I told you. I'm going to Berk to stop the fight. Alone." He answered.
"No you are not."
"What do you mean no? If i don't do something they're going to die."
"No, stupid i mean you are not going alone." George smirked. He climbed Nightwing ready to leave.
"Well?"
"Well, what?"
"Gods. Why do I stay with you? Are we going or not?" He said motioning for them to leave. Hiccup smiled, he didn't have to do it alone.
"Ok then let's go." He took a deep breath.
"Let's go back to Berk bud." He said to Toothless. The dragon nodded and woth the blink of an eye they were up in the clouds leaving Arendelle behind and headed for the Barbaric Archipelago and Berk.
Done. This was an ok chapter. next will be, i believe, quite big so please be patient. Thank you for reading.
