The unknown boat came closer and closer to Berk's harbor in a hurry. The people standing on the piers watched the boat with curiosity and confusion. They knew nothing about a boat coming to Berk today, the papers of in coming boats was empty today, so the curiosity of who it was in the unknown boat filed in the harbor air.

Thoughts of it being Grimmel had come and gone quick. Grimmel wouldn't come here in one little boat all alone, so the thought of the war starting fell from the minds of the people quickly as it came.

Olav and Leif narrowed their green eyes on the boat as it was almost at the furthest out pier. They glanced at each other and walked out on the wooden planks together with a few other men and women who wanted to know who sailed the boat from gods knows where and what he or she wanted.

The boat stopped and a blonde haired woman stood up, holding a parchment roll in her hand. A man standing on the pier held the boat still, as the women didn't throw a rope up to him to secure the boat from drifting away.

The woman looked with her blue eyes at the people standing before her. It was quiet around them, the water hitting the boat was heard clearly.

Before any Berkian could ask what she was doing here, the woman spoke before them, "I have a letter to the chief of Berk," she held the parchment roll out stretch before her for anyone to take it, "Grimmel want it taken directly to him and to no one else."

The man closed to her, the one who held the boat, took the parchment roll from her. "I'll take it to him."

The woman nodded and said thank you before telling him to let go of the boat so she could be on her way.

He let her go and the boat sailed away while he walked to his dragon and flew away to find the chief.

Leif and Olav was quick to follow him. Anything about Grimmel they wanted to know. They would never forgive him for what he had done to their sister and couldn't wait to met him on the battlefield and beat him up. Of course they didn't like that a war was on its way and it could get really ugly, but Grimmel needed to get what he deserve and a punch in the face or two would feel good, and maybe even give him a ticket to Niefelheim. Where he would stay in agony pain forever.

Hiccup looked at the map that was spread on the table in front of him. Toothless standing beside him, looking as well at the map laying on the table.

Wooden pieces of boats was placed in the water area between Berk and the south. Those boats represented Grimmels army and Barviks army coming at them. To begin the war they were waiting for and had been waiting for for weeks now.

After Vylmas visit to give them the information they needed, Hiccup had been looking at this map for a week now. Searching for a way to win this with minimum damage.

Astrid and his friends had been helping him as much as they could, throwing out ideas on how they could win and strategies was made on where they could have archers and make a surprise attack by coming on dragons from the east and west.

So much was said that it almost made Hiccups mind to explode. He had always been good at making up strategies and plans quickly, but this needed to be perfect. A well thought out plan to keep as many alive in the end. To keep Berk standing.

The great hall door opened and both Hiccup and Toothless looked up to see who it was. Hiccup studied Stoick when he walked up to him and he cocked his head when he saw Stoick's face.

"Something wrong?" Hiccup asked and raised and eyebrow at him.

Stoick shook his head and patted Toothless head before crossed his arms over his chest. "Naw, just needed a break from the forge before Magnhild ask me to sharpen her swords again, saying she can't sharpen them herself because it would waste time of her training with whatever weapon she can find in the meantime. "

"She will wear out herself if she continues." Hiccup said. "Doesn't that remind me of someone." he whispered.

"Mum?" Stoick inquired and placed his fits on the table as he leaned forward.

Hiccup smiled a bit. "Yes. Magnhild has your mother's spirit when it comes to fighting. Always ready to whatever it takes to save their loved ones, even if it means disobeying orders from the chief."

Stoick frowned and didn't really agree with his dad. "I sometimes think Magnhild wants to fight for what she wants, or that what it seemed like when we were in the hidden world for the first time. She didn't want to leave, even when we told her it wasn't good for us to stay."

"But she did leave with you and I understand why she didn't want to leave-"

"Yeah yeah, I know about her friendship with the light fury, but Magnhild could have easily brought the light fury here undercover if she could. Mum is sane enough to leave a dragon behind if it means for its best."

Hiccup snorted and Toothless rolled his eyes. "Haven't we told you about Garff?"

"Garff?"

"Chief!"

Father and son and dragon turned their heads towards the man running into the great hall in a hurry with a parchment in his hand.

"Ivar, what is it?" Hiccup asked.

Ivar walked to the chief and held the parchment to him. "A women came with this, saying its from Grimmel."

Hiccup was quick to take the parchment from Ivar and roll it out to read it. His green eyes moved fast as he read the runes.

Stoick watched his father read and his jaw clench while his eyes narrowed. "What does it say?"

Toothless tilted his head and glanced between Hiccup and the parchment he held in his hands.

Hiccup stopped reading and said thank you to Ivar for bringing the letter to him. Ivar nodded and walked out of the great hall.

The chief turned then to his son. "Find your siblings and your friends as well. Leif and Olav already knows about this letter as they are standing right outside," Stoick turned his eyes to the open door and saw the twins standing there, "I'll find everyone else. We need to rethink every strategy and plan we came up with."
