Chapter 11 is here and i am starting university next week so the concept of free time may be lost to me soon. I'll try to update weekly but don't count on it. Also as a challenge i want to see some people comment what they think Rush and Aliyah are and see if any one can guess there origins. While i won't change the backstory for the characters i really do want to know what you all think and it is kind of fun seeing people speculate.

Aliyah was busy organizing the cupboards for Gothi's remedies. The healer in question was already in the process of making the medicines from the ingredients the girl had brought earlier leaving Aliyah with the task of making room to store the new batch. She had given Aliyah some very specific instructions on how to organize the cupboard and the girl was really starting to get annoyed with them. Aliyah had to arrange the medicine in order of frequent uses, quantity, quality and time until expiration. She had already tried a few arrangements but before she could even pack the fifth jar, Gothi would stop by, whack her with her staff and tell it was in the wrong order and to start over. She had currently started a pattern that Gothi had not found a problem with...yet, and was hoping she could quickly fix the cupboard and leave before the old lady came to check. She was nearly done with the first row when a loud knock shook the house a little and shifted some of the containers. Aliyah moved quickly and steadied them all before they could fall and the went to answer the moron who knocked the door too hard.

When she opened she was greeted by what she assumed was a grinning Rush. It was always had to tell what expressions his face made with that cloak always hiding it but his posture said it all. "You look stressed, like if you have to stop an entire island from sinking." Rush started, "Gothi is making you pack her cupboards again." He deadpanned. Aliyah didn't even both responding, she just nodded and motion for Rush to come in. The duo was let with the healer who was currently carrying pot filled with a bubbling liquid.

"Afternoon Gothi. How have you been? You're looking younger." Rush spoke to the healer. Gothu took her staff and wrote in her sand box, 'What do you want Alias?' Aliyah read.

"What? I am offended that you would think I would come here wanting something in return...but since you asked. Can I have some Burn Cream?" Rush asked innocently. Gothi walked over to the shelves and took a container with the cream and walked over to Rush. The boy held out his hand waiting to receive the cream only to receive a smack on the wrist from the healer.

"Ouch!" Rush said as he rubbed his wrist, "What was that for?" He asked the healer. Gothic merely wrote in the sand. 'I'm giving you it but expect that you'd bring back some Death song amber for me to use.'

"How'd you know it was Death songs I was dealing with." Rush asked. Gothi merely looked at him with face that said 'Really' before writing again. 'You only ever ask for burn cream when you deal with Death songs since you have to use fire to melt escape the amber and sometimes burn yourself.'

"That was only one time." Rush defended before hearing a cough from Aliyah. "Two times," Aliyah continued to cough some more, "Alright a few times." Rush muttered in defeat, Aliyah stopped coughing. 'Okay, well that's a small amount of cream so be careful with your fire.' Gothi wrote.

"I'm always careful." Rush answered.

"Tell that Blaire, you almost took away his ability to sit last time." Aliyah interrupted.

"Whatever. Just give me the cream and I'll get the amber." Rush said as he tried to grab the cream only to be smacked on his wrists again by Gothi. 'Remember the amber Alias.' She wrote before giving him the cream. Rush muttered an okay okay before he headed out slamming the door in the process, the cupboard shook and the jars and containers that were already organized by Gothi before hand had fallen out. Aliyah didn't even bother to turn to face Gothi, she just rubbed her temples.

"More packing?" She asked the healer, knowing fully well that healer was nodding.

"Can I get a break?" Aliyah asked hopefully. Gothi ribbed her chin before writing in the sand '15 minutes'

"Thank you." Aliyah responded as she was about to leave only to be stopped by Gothi pulling her hair.

"Oh come on. I thought you said 15 minutes break?" Aliyah asked but Gothi simply motioned to what she had written. Apparently there was apart Aliyah forgot to read. '15 minutes after packing the first shelf.' Aliyah grumbled but proceeded to go and repack the shelves.

Rush hurried himself to the meeting point. He had arrived on the coast on the side of the island farthest from the village to wait for the dragons. As he waited for them to arrive thought to himself about how enthusiastic Hiccup was about proving himself to his village. Looking at his own reflection in the sea Rush thought back to a time when he was once as enthusiastic as Hiccup and desire the love if his tribe. He watched as the water distorted his reflection into that of a boy who was just a little older than Hiccup. Rush reached to touch the reflection but it rippled and turned back to his own.

"RAAAAAWWWGH"

Rush looked up puzzled, as he heard the familiar roar of Starchaser. As he looked to the horizon he saw two familiar dragons approaching him at a rather worrisome paced. From his perspective they were flying haphazardly with one another. Almost as if they were...

"Yak dung," Rush muttered as he started running away. One of the dragons started to dive as the tail began to burst into flames.

Aliyah bolted upright as she sensed a familiar pair of dragons on the island. Starchaser and Ghost were on the island but something felt off about them. She turned to Gothi who was still in the way of preparing some more medicine for the village.

"I'll be right back." Aliyah told the healer and then left before the healer could respond. The girl hurried downhill and ran through the forest. As she was running through the woods, she heard a sonic boom as the sound barrier was shattered. The force of the explosion uprooted several trees from where she was standing and it was without question that most of Berk must have heard it. Aliyah stopped in her tracks and began darting towards the village.

'Rush should be able to handle them, if I can buy him some time.' She told himself as she hurried to stop the Berkians from interfering with their dragons. Her suspicions proved true when she arrived at the village and saw several of the villagers gathering into a search party to go find the dragons. Stoic and Gobber were among them unsurprisingly, but those two as well as a few other warriors were looking a little sleepy.

'Oh right, Rush sent then on a wild dragon chase last night.' Aliyah told herself recalling last night. As she watched the village she could hear the loud booming of Stoic's voice urging the tribe to prepare in case a raid occurred and instructing everyone to be on guard and keep the food and children safe. She watched as some a young blonde girl brought an axe to Mr. Hofferson. He took it and patted his daughter on the head before turning her around and sending her to her mother. Aliyah took out three small knives that bare a small resemblance to nadder spines and held then tightly in her fingers in a way that made them look like she had claws coming out of her hand as she made a fist. She waited for the set of warriors to approach the forest before slashing the knives across the trunks of a few trees leaving claw like marks in them. One of the Vikings examined the claws and noticed the freshness of the mark. It didn't take long for Aliyah to direct them away from the coast Rush and the dragons was at, but she didn't know how long she could keep them mislead before one smart Viking decided splitting up would be a better idea.

"Come on Rush, hurry." She whispered to herself as she ran.

Rush growled as he forced an uprooted tree off of him. As he got up he could see the land around him destroyed by Starchaser's sonic boom. Looking around the scorched and cracked earth and among the uprooted trees he saw Starchaser squaring off against Ghost. The two dragons were circling each other waiting for the right opportunity to strike down the other. Rush mentally kicked himself for not going to meet them instead. Dreamhunter was able to come to the island but she didn't stay long enough to feel the Queen's pull and even if she did, she had already developed enough resistance to Dragon's mind control to know to fly away before she was hypnotized. Starchaser on the other hand wasn't so lucky. Starchaser had only been recently brought this close to the nest to hide him from the hunters. It was very rare for hunters to come up this far North but right now it looked like they had bigger problems.

Star chaser was a dragon fast enough to break the sound barrier. To the average person that just meant it could fly really fast, but when you break the sound barrier a lot of energy is released at that moment, and this usually results in a lot of destruction. Luckily the dragon had a cooldown time after each sonic boom which meant Rush and Ghost had to incapacitate the brainwashed dragon before it hit them with another one. Ghost was thankfully ready to knock Starchaser down a peg.

The silver phantom lunged at the hybrid dragon. The two went back and forth trying to overpower the other and while Starchaser had the advantage of being slightly bigger than Ghost, Ghost had a Rush and Rush was usually a good game changer. As the two dragons went at each other, Ghost managed to get on top Starchaser's back and press its neck down to the ground. Starchaser wasn't giving up though and began flailing and struggling nonstop. Eventually the larger dragon was able to toss the smaller one of its back. As it approached the smaller dragon, it saw something move in the corner of its eye. Starchaser turned its head to avoid any surprise attacks but found nothing. When it turned back to face Ghost, it saw an armored fist one second and then everything started to spin.

Rush watched as the dragon staggered back from the punch. It usually took a strong blow to the head to free a dragon from the Red Death's control, but that was only a temporary solution to a near permanent problem. As he waited for the dragon to recover he walked backwards to Ghost never taking his off of Starchaser in case it went wild again. Rush didn't inspect a hand to rest on his shoulder as he backed back. The boy spun around out of complete instinct and sucker punched whoever was behind him. Rush felt himself start to cold sweat when he saw it was none other than Mr. Ingerman. The cloaked boy had no idea what to do in this situation, Mr. Ingerman might have seen him and he had a dragon that had recently been under the Queen's control nearby.

'What to do? What to do?' were the only thoughts racing through his mind. It was only till tail smacked him in the back of the head did Rush come back to reality. He saw Ghost up and ready for action and the Silver phantom was motioning to the hybrid that had just woken up. Both dragons seemed to be in the right senses but Starchaser was fidgeting, wanting to leave the island before he lost control. Seeing that he had one part of the problem dealt with, Rush turned to see Mr. Ingerman, checking for a pulse Rush was thankful he still found one, but then came to wonder how much Mr. Ingerman had seen.

"Just my luck," Rush told the dragons that were next him, "would it be too much to ask for this to be a bad dream?" He asked.

"Wait a minute, a bad dream." Rush said to himself as an idea came to mind, but he would have to act fast.

Aliyah looked around as she saw waited in the treetops trying to be as quiet as a mouse. She was watching some of the Vikings 'sneak' through the forest. Sneak being used very loosely as these guys clearly knew nothing about stealth. She had led them on wild dragon chase around the forest for nearly an hour now and lucky for her everyone was still group or so she had assumed. Unfortunately for Aliyah she had failed to notice one above average intelligent Viking, slip away at the very start. She had sensed the conflict between the dragons resolve Starchaser had already left which was good but what puzzled her was why Rush and Ghost circled the island. She waited for a while before assuming Rush and his dragon left the island a fact that was reassured when she saw one of Rush's bombs explode several hundred feet above the island, a signal he had left without problems.

Seeing that her work was done Aliyah headed back to Gothi's hut to explain why she had left. When she got back she was surprised to see the healer pacing back and forth outside of her home. When she asked Gothi why she was out there, the healer merely pointed to the roof of her home, when Aliyah leaped up the roof to check, she was surprised to see an unconscious Viking with a note from Rush saying ' Do me a favour and please convince Mr. Ingerman that he has been hallucinating for the past few hours.' Aliyah crumpled the note before rolling the Viking off the roof. She winced slightly when heard someone struggling looking over she saw that she had accidentally rolled him on top of Gothi.

"Sorry Gothi." Aliyah muttered as she jumped to help, meanwhile Rush had already set his course for the island of the Bone rider.
