Sorry for the wait I was having a really hard time with this chapter it kinda slow and I'm not really happy with how it came out but with some comedy with Astrid. We're going to get into a suggestion from GriffTalon it's going to have a first movie vibe

So Astrid had taken down Thunder and she was clearly proud of herself. There was no way that he was just walking out of this, he knew that somehow he was going to have to talk his way out. Judging by their reaction so far it wasn't going to be easy. With Toothless in a protective stance, they weren't going to get anywhere. He was growling and baring his teeth looking ready to take them out if they even moved a little.

"You better keep the dragon under control." Astrid was on edge, he could tell no matter how hard she was trying to hide the fear that she had, he could see it, one of the many perks of living with dragons, he could see all her feeling just by her body language

"I can if you just allow me to talk to him."

"I already told you, Norse, he seemed to understand it earlier." damn he had to open his mouth before.

"Okay, bud you have to listen, you need to stand down so they don't hurt either of us."

"What are you thinking? I can see it, tell me what is your plan." Toothless reluctantly moved from his defensive stance to a more relaxed position, sitting as a dog would.

For the first time since the whole exchange started, Astrid took the time to look over this stranger. He was dressed in all black, helmet covering his face. Her eyes traveled down to his feet and she saw that he really only had one real foot the other replaced with a prosthetic. Of course, someone who lived with those creatures had lost a limb, one of them probably burnt it off or something, but if that had happened then why did he continue to live with and protect them.

"You said you wanted to have a discussion with me." her gaze was still on his leg as she said this.

Night notice where Astrid's attention had fallen, of course, it was always the leg.

"Well, yeah um…" his mind blanked what was he going to say. Oh yeah, Thunder. "I really just wanted to say that thanks to your actions, a nest of hatchlings will grow up without a father. Leaving their mother, his mate to raise them by herself." he finished strong, looking Astrid in the eye as he spoke, she seemed to shrink under his stare. He always forgot how much taller he was now and how intimidating he could actually be.

Astrid was speechless she had never really thought that they could have families and children. It made sense but she had never really thought about it like that.

"You must return with us to the village, where the council will decide what to do with you." there was no way that Stoick was just gonna let this 'Night' person leave no way, he's going back with them.

"I will comply, but only if you insure Toothless' safety as well as my own. I don't want anyone else getting hurt."

"Toothless?" that was Gobber, he hadn't spoken for a long time so his voice surprised both Night and Toothless.

"Yeah," Night laughed "that's his name."

"Odd name, I see plenty of teeth." Gobber love hearing Hiccup laugh it really warmed his heart to see the boy finally happy.

"Well they're retractable, show them bud." Toothless opened his mouth and pull his teeth into his gums, giving the awed Viking a quick smile.

"Well, he seems to be quite the character." Gobber couldn't help but see a loving creature. Maybe he was getting soft in his old age, but just the fact that Hiccup trusted this dragon put him at ease.

They walked back towards the village Gobber walking in the front followed by Night and Toothless and behind them was Stoick and Astrid making sure that they kept moving.

The sun was starting to rise, wow had she really been up all night. Now she could feel the tiredness move into her muscles. She needed to get a few hours of sleep. Just as they rounded the corner she came face to face with an all too familiar face which was beet red.

"Mom, hey what are you doing here?" Astrid was trying to play it cool, her mother was furious. For good reason, she had been out all night and without sleep. Oh, this was no way to find a suiting man.

"Where have you been all night! Young lady, I haven't seen you since lunch yesterday." her mom was so mad she was never going to hear the end of it.

"Well something came up, mom." she was so embarrassed this couldn't be happening not only in front of the chief but also in front of their unwanted guest. Her mom didn't even seem to notice Stoick or Night.

"I don't care, now get home and sleep!" her tone was all business, causing Astrid to move quickly towards her house. "Morning Stoick!" Astrid's mother mood turned cheerful when she greeted the chief. A fast as she appeared she was gone back into the village center to continue her morning.

When they reached the hall Stoick called an emergency council meeting. Clearing the Great hall except for a handful of men. Hiccup recognized them, Spitelout, Silent Sven, Bucket and Mulch. Along with Stoick and Gobber of, course were now gathered around both of them. Many of them arguing amongst themselves. Until Stoick cleared his throat calling their attention.

"Men we found these two on the outskirts of the village."

"Well, you make it sound bad when you say it like that. We were here for a reason by the way."

"Oh, what to sneak in and destroy our homes!" Spitelout spat his words with such hatred, it was like nothing he had ever seen before and he had face many dragon hating tribes.

"Who are you and why are you here?" Mulch seemly ignored Spitelout's outburst getting right to the topic.

"My name is Night, I'm the protector of dragons, this is my best friend Toothless. We are here because one of our dragons was killed by Astrid." he was confident these Viking wouldn't try anything after all he had a dragon.

"Wait, Astrid, how do you know her name she never said it?" Stoick could feel there was something fishy from the first time they had seen Night, but now he knew for sure that something was going on.

"Well, it's not like it is a secret, the mighty Hairy Hooligan tribe, and their warriors. I have to admit you guys have been on my list for a while Stoick."

"Nice save genius." Toothless sent out a chuckle.

"Shut up, I don't need your help." Night growled out

"Okay," Stoick was still leery about this stranger but chose to ignore Night's last comment. "Men I call on you, as the Berkian council to decide what is to be done with the trespasser."

"I say we throw him in the arena and see how long he can last." Spitelout threw his hands in the air as if throwing something. A smirk spread on his lips.

They must have been able to catch a dragon or two over the years, considering the raids had come to an end when Night defeated the Red Death. Well, this should be interesting.
