Hi there,
Sorry for the late update, I have been very busy with school and Exams and life in general
I have been working on the story during times when I had off time, which were not much…
This chapter start a short moment after Chapter 8, but still early on in the same day.
Enjoy!
Shimmer (OC)
It is still early when I arrived at Valka's house, Storm were lying on the ground next to the house, waiting, when I arrived.
"Oh hi their Storm". I noticed Storm's wagging tail, "You ready?"
"Always", She tilted her head at me for a second, "What kind of question is that? I'll always take the opportunity to fly".
"Okay then… Good to see your exited".
Silverwing suddenly swooped down from atop the house landing right in front of me with a slight stagger in her step.
"Sirrre!" She chirped
I Shivered at the mention of being called Sire.
"Hi Silverwing! Allot of energy today, hey?"
"Yaasss"
"Good…"
I suddenly heard someone behind me, sounding quite allot like Cloudjumper, but I also felt something… mentally… but I quickly brushed it to the side.
I looked around to see That it was indeed Cloudjumper with Valka at his side
Valka was equipped in her full dragon armor, with her helmet under her left arm and her staff in her right hand.
"Oh hi Cloudjumper! Are you ready?"
"As usual… Where my rider goes, I go".
"Right then…" I noticed that Valka had no supplies with her.
"Umm, Valka? Aren't you going to take supplies?", I asked with slight unease.
She chuckled, "Oh no, I have no need, I only take a water skin, that's it".
"Oh okay then"
Valka looked down towards my Satchel, "I see you are carrying your book along with you…"
"I carry it around every ware with me where I go", I gurgled softly.
"Are you ready?" I asked Valka, to which she nodded.
"Okay, let's take to the wing".
Valka climbed onto Cloudjumper's back and Silverwing jumped onto my back, wrapping her tail around my neck.
I took the lead and took flight, followed by Cloudjumper and Storm both on my tail.
East it is…
I felt a sudden unexplained urgency to hurry up, to get to the island before… before it's too late…
I'm coming…
Hiccup (POV)
It was still early morning as usual at the great hall, dragons and Vikings alike everywhere either drinking ale or eating there morning meal like normal… well normal for Berk, people have quickly forgotten the events from two days prior to the arrival of our new strange resident of Berk.
I saw Gobber sitting at one of the tables drinking his mug of ale from his prosthetic hand-mug.
"Ohh how nice of ye' to join me this morn' hey Hiccup"
"Nice to see you too… umm how is the smithy going?"
"Oh pretty swell ye' know with all o' new dragons around and the new iron from tha' o' Drago's dragons, have more iron than needed".
"well Grump is enjoying the iron you can't use"
"Ye' right the' lad, how er' the chiefly duties going he?"
"Keeps me busy but I manage"
I saw a terrible terror snatching food from someone's plate and gobbling it down with gusto.
"I saw er' mother fly off with tha' new talking dragon this morn, do you know where they ar' going? er' asked Fishlegs but he refused to say anything!"
"Hmm, no, this is the first I hear of this… I'll go ask Fishlegs then, do you know where he might be?"
"Last I saw him; he was on his way to tha' old academy".
"Thanks Gobber!"
"Ahh, don't mention it" he waved his left hand at me.
I looked over to Toothless who were finishing up his basket of fish.
"Let's go bud"
He bounded over to me in quick strides.
"Let's go see Fishlegs"
I turned around and walked to the doors, passing a table with a few Terrible Terrors on it who all were busy yammering with each other,
The doors opened silently, as it's hinges were oiled a few days ago,
I climbed onto Toothless and we flew to the old Academy, and just as Gobber said, Fishlegs was there, standing by a table drawing something on a large piece of paper.
Toothless landed a few feet away from Fishlegs, where I climbed off.
"Hey, Fishlegs…"
Fishlegs gave out a sudden squeal as he spun around very quickly to face us.
"Uh… you okay Fishlegs? What are you working on there?"
"Uhh… Oh… I… Nothing…" he stuttered.
I gave him a stern look.
"Fishlegs?"
"Oh okay… it's a map…"
"A map? Of what?"
Fishlegs shuffled nervously around on his feet
"Fishlegs!"
"A map of Foreverwing island… I got it from Shimmer's map…" he quickly said
"Foreverwing island?", I thought about why my mother would leave with Shimmer without telling me,
"Is that where my mother is going… along with Shimmer?"
"Yes…" He squealed out.
I threw my arms up in the air out of frustration.
"Fishlegs, where is this island?"
Fishlegs turned to face the map, pointing a finger on a large unexplored island to the far east.
"Why would they go all the way out there?"
Fishlegs only shrugged his shoulders, "He did not tell me why, I guess it's something about his past or something"
"I'm going after them! Come on Toothless, lets tell Astrid!"
"Wait! You will need a map!" Fishlegs quickly interjected.
"Thanks"
With that me and Toothless were off looking for Astrid,
She were at the Dragon stables with the other teens.
"Astrid, I have to go… I'm putting you in charge of the Village, I'm going after my mother"
"Wait… What?! Where?"
"East to some sort of island… Foreverwing island… or something like that"
"Hiccup… oh okay… be safe"
"I Will be back"
Both me and Toothless took flight, heading East toward Foreverwing island.
Shimmer (OC)
We have been flying in Silence for a few hours now, heading east, passing a few small rock outcroppings too small to be added to the map, I saw a small rocky outcropping ahead of us about a few minutes flight away.
"Do any of you need a rest?" I asked Both Cloudjumper and Storm
"No" Cloudjumper responded
"Not yet" Storm added
"Okay then, so we continue on"
We passed the Small rock outcropping large enough for 5 full grown Monstrous Nightmares, I noticed a few holes in the rock, which looked very familiar, looking very unnatural.
Possibly Whispering Death holes…
"We are getting close to Whispering Death island!" Valka announced
"Not that far anymore… I hope"
"We can rest on Healer island before we go past Whispering Death island"
"Maybe grab a few herbs for Elder Gothi while were there" Valka said
"Hmm… if you know what she need, go ahead" I answered
I felt Silverwing wake up from her short nap as she fell asleep about an hour ago.
"Hi, we will land soon" I told Silverwing
"Yeee! Lannnt!" She gave a soft hum
"Yes land" I hummed back
It took us a few minutes of flying before I were able to see land in the distance and another 5 minutes before I could see any recognizable details.
"Here we are, our first stop, Healer's island"
We flew over to a clearing on this relatively flat island, landing softly upon the still moist earth.
"So this is Healer's island, I can see a few wild herbs and some others"
"That took us not as long as I have expected, the sun is still high above the horizon"
"We are luckily fast flyers, well those of us who can fly…" I noticed that Valka was already picking herbs.
Storm curled up on the warm moist earth, Cloudjumper were focusing on Valka, and Silverwing was wandering around and exploring the surroundings.
I looked at the position of the sun in the sky, noticing that there might be about five hours of light left, maybe more…
Valka returned with a few strong smelling herbs in her hands,
"Wow, those are some strong smelling herbs… wait… those smell familiar…"
"Probably because some people used to smoke it"
"Yuck!"
Valka chuckled "oh, it's not for that luckily"
I looked over to see Storm staring at Silverwing jumping around in the grass chasing a mouse,
Silverwing pounced upon the mouse and quickly devoured it in one quick swallow.
"Well that's… disgusting… I would not eat a fur ball like that…"
"Oh they aren't too bad a snack" Storm added.
"Well I think that we should get going probably, don't want to arrive there too late"
"No your right, it can get dangerous flying at night" Cloudjumper confirmed
"Then let's go then"
With that we were off shortly afterwards.
The sun was just above the horizon when we got in sight of the Island, as we got closer I started to noticed something moving about the coast,
"Valka, do you see that on the beach? What is…"
At that moment I noticed the Ships and the cages on the beach…
"Valka! Trappers!"
I looked over to Valka and noticed cloudjumper already diving, me and Storm followed
"What are they doing here?" I asked
"Seems like they are setting up camp" Valka stated
I suddenly heard a distress call coming from somewhere on the island
"Did you hear that?" I asked Valka
"hear what?"
"Something in trouble…?!"
"What? How…"
I sped on ahead and changed my scale color to blend in with the fading light of the setting sun, heading inland towards the direction of the call.
I Landed on a large rock ledge that are concealed from the trappers,
Valka shortly landed nearby on the rock ledge along with Storm.
"Shimmer? What's wrong? Something on the island…?"
"Yes… but I know not what it is that's calling…" I heard Screaming further inland on the island, but I can't pinpoint from where, sounded Human… "Did you hear that?"
"Yes, sounded like more trappers, they probably caught another dragon…"
"We should split up, to cover more ground"
"Good idea, if you find anything, shoot up a flair and I will do the same"
"Yes", I looked over at Storm who were licking her claws clean, "Storm should go with you Valka"
"What about you?"
"I'll be good, I can defend myself, and I will not be alone, I have Silverwing",
"Okay then, let us be on our way"
I looked over to Storm, "Storm, you should go with Cloudjumper, is that okay?"
"Yes… just stay safe", she turned around and took off with Valka and Cloudjumper.
"You stay safe!", I grinned
I took flight and headed to the south eastern direction and Valka headed east, the light has started to fade from the sky, And the voices are getting louder…
"we are getting close, Hold on Silverwing!"
Hold on she did, tightening her tail around my neck and holding tightly onto my spines.
I dived into the general direction of the voices
It got louder and louder,
I took a sharp turn and leveled off to stop my descend, and I came into view of a cave with a few trappers dragging a fighting Shimmerscale out of the cave.
"It can't be… another Shimmerscale…"
I noticed a long shallow cut along it's side, probably done by a dragon,
The other Shimmerscale was mostly green with blue horns, and I could tell that the other Shimmerscale is not winning the fight.
I shot a grey ball of smoke at the trappers, enveloping them and the Shimmerscale in a thick smoky fog, I immediately blasted a Plasma blast into the air which exploded into a wide bright ring of purple fire that gave a loud thunderous noise,
'That should do the Trick, I hope she saw that…'
I shot a trapper with a plasma blast causing panic among the trappers, I swooped down and caught two trappers by surprise by slicing one of them in two and to my surprise, the other trapper were killed with one of my tail spikes that shot loose from my tail.
I turned invisible and shot another plasma blast at a trapper nearest to the other Shimmerscale,
'four down, one to go' I said to myself keeping tally, knowing that there are more coming.
I whipped my tail at the trapper intending to warn him, but instead I shot a tail spike at the trapper hitting him on the shoulder,
'that just happened'
I looked back at my tail and noticed the two missing scales, which were actually elongated scales or spikes.
I looked over to the other Shimmerscale who were laying still,
if it were not for its breathing, I would have thought that it was dead.
I walked closer and noticed a faint, but distinct scent, that of what can only be…
'A female…?'
I carefully walked closer and noticed the long cut on her side which was about a few days old, still fresh and it smells sour with infection.
She stirred a bit before slowly opening her eyes, she looked ahead of her for a moment, almost transfixed on something in front of her,
I moved in closer to remove the straps and bolas around her and to take of the muzzle.
The trapper with the Spike in his shoulder was slowly crawling away before passing out.
Her head jerked in my direction as she noticed me, she started thrashing in an attempt to get away, but only succeeded into tightening the bindings.
"Hey, it's okay! It's okay, I'm here to help" She stopped for a short moment as I added "Those ropes will only tighten if you continue moving, and the sooner I get you free the sooner we can get away from the approaching trappers" I pointed to the direction of where the trappers camp is.
She looked at me for a moment before relenting by laying her head down with a moan.
I made quick work of the ropes and leather straps around her wings and legs, cutting them with my tail and claws, and then I removed the muzzle from her snout just as a group of about 15 trappers appeared from behind a few bushes.
"Oh Thor all mighty…"
I suddenly heard an iconic whistling shriek from above and a bright purple plasma blast shot in front of the trappers causing the Trappers to or duck for cover or for those closest to the blast to get flung back, dazed.
I immediately knew that it was a Night fury, and more specifically, Toothless.
I shot a ball of blue mist at the Trappers who just got up from the ground, causing them to get frozen in place as the paralyzing mist takes effect.
I looked up to see Cloudjumper and Storm flying closer with Valka on Cloudjumper's back, and a second later were joined by Toothless and Hiccup.
"Oh, how nice of you to join the party!" I said sarcastically
Valka jumped off of Cloudjumper and went over to me and stopped as she saw the other Shimmerscale,
"Is that another… Shimmerscale…?" Valka stumbled in disbelief.
"Yes and She is injured, and we need to get out of here, I don't know how long the paralyses will hold"
"Wait…? She?" Hiccup interjected
"Yes!" I snapped
"Can she fly?" Valka quickly asked
"I don't know, I'll quickly as…"
"No I cannot fly… why would you ask that?" The other Shimmerscale responded
I spun around and looked at her, She was staring at me with her golden green eyes
"Why?... is it because of the injury…?" I asked
"No… I don't know how to fly… I never learned to… I'm not…"
"Okay we can carry you…" I quickly answered
She quickly gave me a panicked look "Wait. What?... How…"
"Calm down, all will be fine, I promise you this that I will not hurt you" I calmly told her
She calmed down but was still tensed and scared.
I turned around to face Valka,
"She can't fly, but we can carry her back to Berk, Right?" I asked Valka
"I don't know, if Cloudjumper can carry her all the way to Berk…"
"I will carry her then" I quickly interjected
I returned my focus back to the other Shimmerscale, whom got herself back to her feet before her legs gave way from under her, she collapsed again.
"hey, are you okay?"
She gave me a slight whimper "I don't know… This is not natural…"
"Okay just stay calm" I calmly told her
"Okay…"
Hiccup quickly interjected "Ah I think that this would be the perfect time to leave, as we will be swarmed by trappers pretty soon if we stay any longer"
"Okay let's go"
I looked over to the other Shimmerscale whom were looking at Toothless and Hiccup.
"Ah… is it okay with you that I carry you…"
"Where..."
"To Berk"
"Where is that?"
"West over the sea across a few islands"
"Fine…" She moaned
"all will be fine; I promise"
She looked over to Cloudjumper as he took flight with Valka on his back
"Let's go"
I took flight and carefully picked her up while in flight, holding her with my front paws holding her neck and my back legs holding on to her back legs, carefully, trying not to hurt her, leaving her wings open.
She was surprisingly light weighted and were not hard to carry.
"You doing okay down their Shimmer?" Hiccup asked from above
"Yes, we are good"
We started to fly west towards Berk as the last rays of light were starting disappear from the lands below, and soon the Sky along with it, enveloping us all in moonlight darkness.
We came upon Healer island within moments of our flight from Foreverwing island, some time after the last light faded from the sky.
"Healer's island up ahead, let's go rest there for the night" I announced
We all headed towards Healer's island and landed in the clearing,
I gently laid The other Shimmerscale down on the grass down below before I could land myself.
"ah there we go, on solid ground again"
She nodded
I quickly flew over to a long dead tree and cut of a few branches before returning them to where we landed, I placed the wood in a pile and lighted the wood on fire, providing some light and warmth from the cold air.
I went over and laid down next to the fire for the heat, still tired from the whole day's flight.
I heard someone approach a short moment later.
It was the other Shimmerscale who also came to lay down near the fire,
There were a long moment of silence other than that of Hiccup and Valka's whispers
Then she spoke up,
"Uh… thank you…"
"For what?"
"For saving me… and for being so… nice…"
"You have no need to thank me… it was nothing if it means saving a life"
"why…? Why help me? Help one you do not know, a stranger…"
"Why you asking this? should I have left you alone to be caught by the trappers…" I sarcastically responded before being cut off
"No!... I'm just curious… that's all…"
"That's just the way I am I guess, always wanting to help others…"
I looked down to my satchel which was still wrapped around my tail and tail spike
"How did you get that wound on your side?"
She turned her body to make the long claw mark visible
"Me and a… friend was attacked by a monstrous Nightmare back on that island… my friend nearly killed it before she was killed by the Nightmare, it was the Monstrous Nightmare who gave me this"
She lifted her wing showing the wound more clearly.
She said a Monstrous Nightmare… wait… I have heard of no dragon calling them upon their human given names, Dragons call them Flames-scale Kin… and how do she not know how to fly…?
"Who was your friend?"
"My friend was a green Deadly Nadder… but she does not like to be called a Nadder… nor did she like any names for some strange reason"
"That's because they do not call themselves by human names like; Deadly Nadder, instead they are called Spine-tail Kin same goes for Monstrous Nightmare whom call themselves Flame-scale Kin…"
I gave her a questioning look, already knowing the answer "Now when you told me that you do not know how to fly is when I figured it out that your not really a dragon…"
"I… ah…" She fell quiet for a moment before continuing
"I don't know how this happened to me… I was human once and then woke up as this…"
It all went silent, only sound is the crackle of the fire
"I was also human once… I were found by Valka, the lady with the Stormcutter, she rescued me and took me to a nest of dragons… the reason why I were on that island back there was to find answers, to find the one who changed us into… dragons… but none such luck"
"So I'm not alone in this either…" she whispered
"No…" I sighed
I noticed the area started to brighten up a bit, as I looked up I saw a beautiful light show as the Northern lights started to shine across the sky
I noticed that the other Shimmerscale was also looking up at the Aurora lights shining a brilliant show of green and blue, reflecting off of her scales in a stunning fashion.
While still looking up at the lights with a peacefulness I haven't seen her with yet, she asked
"I have been wondering, and never really thought of this for a long time until now…" she looked down to the fire "What is your name, as I have not heard any of the others speak your name that I'm aware of… so… what is your name?"
"Which one? My human name of which I can't remember… or my dragon name?"
"One I can call you by" she looked away back to the lights
"Shimmer… You can call me shimmer"
"Interesting name… Shimmer" She smiled
"And yours?"
"I can't remember…"
"Hmm what about a Dragon name?"
She shook her head
"Okay then… let's make one…"
"Hmm like what? She looked back at me with curiosity
"I don't know…" She looked back at the lights, Aurora lights… are almost same color as her scales… that can work… "Hmm what about that" I pointed to the Aurora lights
"What about the lights?"
"The Aurora lights" I Extended the word Aurora a bit and saying it louder than the rest
"Yes I know what it… Aurora…?"
"That would be a nice name… wouldn't you say?"
"Hmm… I like it… yes, that will do"
"Oh then it's agreed upon then, your name is Aurora"
"Thanks… Shimmer…"
"Thank the light show up there"
I saw Aurora's claw mark, noticing how infected it was
"I should treat that for you, I have a healing fire"
Aurora looked at her claw mark on her side and nodded for me to heal it
I blew a bit of paralyzing mist onto it and quickly burned it slightly and quickly, knowing full well how quickly I recovered from the mist, a blew a small healing flame over her wound and sealed it up, leaving only a long slightly pink claw mark.
"There all better"
"Thanks"
I nodded and curled up starting to doze off, as did Aurora with her head covered by a wing.
So the night finally fell quiet…
I were as usual, awaken by Silverwing who were already up and awake,
"Why are you up so early every time…?" Shimmer asked Silverwing, still half asleep
"Meee no not… no slepe…"
"Well your speech is getting better… but you are still young and are supposed to sleep allot… or is Razorwhips different?"
"Well she was still sleeping until just a few moments ago" Cloudjumper said with a smile
"Good to know…" Shimmer retorted
"I know not many razor-tail kin, but she is very active for her age" Storm said while staring in the distance.
"Razor-tail? Is that what dra… kin call their kind?"
"Yes little one, as do all kin have different kin names, like… Storm here, Her kin are called Sand kin and Our Alpha actually have two different kin names…" Cloudjumper explained before being cut off by Toothless
"Yes, that's true… my kin was called Darkwing or shadow-wing kin… but I'm possibly the only of my kin left, so I go with that what the humans call us, or me in particular…" Toothless said before stopping
"Night fury sounds better I think, but I wonder what my kind are called" Shimmer said while looking over to a still sleeping Aurora who were still laying curled up with her wing over her head.
"We have never seen your kin before…" Toothless answered "nor have we heard any mention of your kin, as you and the other are the first ones we ever saw" Cloudjumper added
"well then, that's… something new I can add to… everything I guess" Shimmer looked down to Silverwing who were sitting between my front 'paws'
I looked over to both Valka and Hiccup who were also busy waking up possibly because of us talking… but as I looked over to Aurora, I noticed that she was actually awake… pretending to sleep… as her breathing was not that of one who's asleep but that of one who is awake.
"Silverwing? You like waking me up right?" I asked
"Yas?" tilting her head
I looked over to Aurora and mentally said "Go see if you can wake her up" Smiling all the way
Silverwing went over to Aurora and stopped in front of her and gave a small squawk,
Aurora tail twitched a bit but otherwise did not react,
Then to my utter amusement, Silverwing jumped on top of Aurora and gave a shriek chirp, as she did that Aurora Jumped in Alarm and flung herself around,
Silverwing jumped off and landed right next to me.
"Oh, Good morning Aurora, slept well?"
She turned around and looked at me for a moment with clear confusion in her eyes
"What? Oh… Yeah I guess…" She answered, stumbling a bit out of nervousness "What just happened?"
"Oh… just Silverwing waking you up the same way she wakes me". I smiled at her "Oh and by the way, how long were you awake already?" I tilted my head slightly
Aurora nervously looked at the other dragons before answering "y…you knew that I w…were awake…?"
I nodded to her, "Oh only a few minutes…" she answered
"Oh okay then, I was just curious". I smiled
Aurora tried to say something but stayed silent, not knowing what to say.
"I hope I we did not scare you too much" I looked at Aurora now a bit worried
"N... no I'm fine, just did not expect it…" She looked around "Are we leaving soon?" She asked
"Oh probably, maybe after a drink and something to eat… do you like fish?"
"Uh… yeah I guess… it tastes better now than it did when I were a human…" She answered
"Good I'll catch us some fish… there are a nearby lake…"
"Oh that's no… thanks I guess…"
"No problem" I answered
I quickly took flight going to the nearby lake
As I arrived at the lake, I saw a few fishes swimming around from above, and thought of the best way to get them…
If I blast them with a plasma blast... No, it won't reach them… or a lightning bolt… that will shock all of the fish… a small shock maybe… yes that will work
Shimmer shot a small bolt of lightning into the lake, shocking a few fishes causing most to float up to the surface of the lake.
shimmer dived down and grabbed a few in his claws and others he speared with his tail,
he then flew back to the others.
"hey, I got some fish, and some big ones to add"
I threw a big one for Cloudjumper and one for Toothless and one for Storm, then gave Hiccup and Valka each an unspeared fish leaving me with two fishes, Shimmer had a fish in his hand and one still speared on his tail
"Aurora, do you prefer it as is or cooked?"
"uhh… what?" She looked confused at me
"The fish…" I held up the fish I were still holding
"Cooked I guess…?"
I held it up and blasted a low heated flame at the fish, causing it to boil from inside before burning
"Hope that's cooked enough" holding it out to Aurora
"Oh thanks… allot" she smiled, still a bit unsure
"Oh don't mention it"
Shimmer heated his fish in the same manner, before cutting a large piece of and giving it to Silverwing
Shimmer ate the rest of the fish.
After we were done eating, I stretched my wings a bit, in preparation to fly.
"You ready?" I asked Aurora
"Sort off… not really… not going to complain about it" She answered
"You sure?" I asked
"Yes, let's go… just don't drop me…"
"I won't" I assured her
Aurora gave a soft Hum
"Shimmer, you ready?" Valka asked
"As ready as I will ever be" I answered with a bit of humor
I took flight and carefully picked Aurora up, avoiding her wings, and slowly gained altitude, I noticed that Aurora were keeping her eyes closed,
"Aurora? You okay? Why are you keeping your eyes closed?"
"I'm fine, just uncomfortable being in the air… rather unsettling to be up this high"
"Oh, that feeling will pass by, give it time and practice… just open your eyes and feel the wind in your face… the wind in your wings… passing over your scales…"
I looked up ahead of me in the direction of Berk "When I'm up here, I feel free and alive, no worries, no fears… just freedom"
I looked down to see that Aurora was looking up at me, I gave her an awkward smile,
she looked ahead and slowly opened her wings, I immediately felt the drag it causes.
"Careful…" I quickly warned
Aurora held her wings half open, letting the wind pass over it,
"This feel's… wonderful…" she whispered
I smiled, knowing that it is closer to getting her to fly, in a way.
"Well, you can enjoy it as much as you desire to, by the time learned to fly, and I will help teach you to fly"
Aurora silently hummed, but soon fell silent…
Astrid (POV)
(It is late, nearly dusk as the sun were lying low on the horizon, Astrid were in the dragon stable with Stormfly, tending to some of the dragons, as she was a little upset about being left here while he's out there alone)
"Oh Stormfly… I hope they are okay, they have been away the whole day, I hope they found what they were looking for…"
Stormfly squawked before letting out a cooing sound
"Yeah, I know, they will be fine…"
"Astrid!" I heard someone calling from outside, I turned around to see Erit, coming from outside holding a rolled up letter, with Skullcrusher behind him
"Yes Erit? What can I help you with?"
"Terror mail for Hiccup" Erit handed me the letter he was holding and took out another from a pocket
I took the first letter and read it
"tomorrow morn at dawn? From Heather… currently on Wingmaiden island…"
I opened the second letter, which is from Atali informing Hiccup that she will be arriving at dawn with heather.
"The first letter was given to me my Fishlegs, he said that it's from a friend?" Erit announced
"Thank you" I looked at Stormfly "I hope they are back in time…"
Stormfly Squawked
"Come on girl, let's go"
