I'm late but I'm still back. Yup you heard me right. I'm busy with homework and stuff. On with the chapter!

At the clubhouse, Dragon's Edge

1 week had passed since Hiccup told the Berkians and the Dragon riders about the lumber issue. They could only cut down one certain area, seeing as the rest were homes to the wild dragons they had rescued from their adventures years prior. They still didn't quite get along. Snotlout trying to woo Heather was common, seeing as he threw himself at any girl he set his eyes on. The twins and Gustav got along well, unfortunately for everyone else. Fishlegs and Eira spent every spare moment geeking out, whether it be about rocks, weapons or dragons. Gobber gave Hiccup advice on forge work and improvements for his prosthetic leg. Stoick's relationship with Hiccup was not going so well. One might even say it wasn't going well at all. A normal person would say that Hiccup tried to avoid his father so that's what I'm gonna say too. Hiccup Haddock had faced dragon hunters yet he couldn't bring himself to face his own father. It was very amusing. However, something that wasn't amusing was Heather and Astrid's frequent fights including ax's over everyday things. Hiccup was completely oblivious to all this though. He was too busy with his problems with his father to notice the girls' behaviour towards each other. The girls knew this and kept their fighting at a minimum near Hiccup. Even though, everyone was still trying to get along and now that Dagur was on Berserker island, Hiccup still had Toothless. They would always be together. Always.

Moving on, it had only been 1 week but Hiccup felt like it had been a month already. Guess that's what happens when you stay with your childhood bullies(notably Snotlout) for a week. Still blissfully unaware of Heather and Astrid's spat and desperate to get the Berkians off the Edge as soon as possible, he assigned the 2 girls together to collect wood to build a ship from part of the forest that wasn't inhabited by wild dragons. As soon as they were out of earshot from Hiccup, they completely ignored each other.

Astrid started chopping down a few trees with an ax. Heather sighed.

"Why waste time like that when you could just do this." She turned to Windshear and said, "Windshear, tail slice!"

In a blink of an eye, the entire area of trees had been cut down. Astrid rolled her eyes. What a show off, she thought.

"Well excuse me for trying to help." Saying so she went to the beach to get away from Heather.

"What is HER problem!?" The young woman muttered to her Razorwhip companion, who growled in agreement

Astrid got to the beach in no time. She found herself coming here frequently to get away from Snotlout. She sighed as she threw rocks into the sea.

"Hey." A slightly nasally voice said. "You okay?"

Astrid turned to attack but dropped her ax as soon as she saw the speaker.

"Oh. Just you." Astrid said without thinking. She immediately regretted saying it afterwards.

"Yeah. Just me." Hiccup said, uncomfortably scratching the back of his neck

"What are you doing here?" she asked, blunt to the point.

"Hey, you're not the only one who comes here to get away sometimes." Hiccup sighed as he sat down next to Astrid

"Oh no. What happened now?" Astrid asked actually concerned

Hiccup looked into her ocean-blue eyes and saw that he could trust her. Hesitantly, he told her everything that happened ever since he left Berk.

She listened patiently. She winced in sympathy when he told her about how he lost his leg. She smiled when he told her all about his time at Caldera Cay. She sorta grumbled when he told her about how he met Heather. He stopped his very interesting life story and observed the young woman. Astrid timidly raised her eyes to his level and Astrid shyly asked Hiccup, "Soooo, you and Heather. You two are a thing right?"

Hiccup just gaped at her. When he finally came to senses he very stupidly said, "W-w-what are y-y-you talking about?"

"You know, you guys hang out a lot, so I just assumed..." Astrid replied

"No, no Astrid you got it all wrong!" He took Astrid's hands in his own and looked into her eyes and said, "Sure Heather and I are friends, but no! I don't feel that way about her and her me."

Astrid looked into his charming ivy eyes and knew that she could trust him.

"Sooo you and Snotlout." He started awkwardly. "You guys are getting married soon. C-c-congrats. I'm happy for you guys or whatever." Hiccup mumbled.

Astrid looked at him and could easily tell that he was lying.

"No need to lie to me Hiccup. I'm not so happy about this wedding either. I just went along with it so the Jorgensons wouldn't start a war on Berk." Astrid said, "Besides, I like someone else." She said with a sideward glance at Hiccup.

"Oh." Hiccup said sorta disappointed, "Fishlegs?" He asked

Astrid shook her head no.

"Tuffnut?" He asked

Astrid raised her eyebrows at him and said, "Seriously? No!" After saying that she looked at him for a while.

"Me?" Hiccup asked quietly

Astrid stared into his forest-green eyes and leaned closer. Hiccup fell into her blue eyes and leaned closer. Just before they closed the gap, they were very rudely interrupted by a loud scream.

"YOU GUYS! IT'S AN EMERGENCY! GET TO THE CLUBHOUSE ASAP! Ruffnut yelled flailing her arms like she was on fire

"YEAH! THERE'S A GIRL AND A SUPER COOL DRAGON WHO WASHED UP ON SHORE! EIRA BROUGHT HER UP TO THE CLUBHOUSE AND HEATHER'S THERE WAITING FOR YOU!" Tuff yelled running behind his sister.

"Alright got it Tuff! We're coming!" Hiccup yelled back

He stood up and then extended his hand to Astrid then helped her up.

"Let's see what this is all about, ey Hiccup?" Astrid asked

"Whatever milady says." Hiccup said before they took off to the clubhouse on Toothless's back. (Astrid wasn't afraid of the magnificent creature anymore)

At the clubhouse

"Shut it you three. She's waking up." Eira whisper-shouted to the twins and Gustav who were busy thinking of pranks for Loki day out loud

"W-w-where am I?" The young woman asked. She was quite a beauty. With long brown hair till her waist done in a french braid and stunning sapphire eyes. She wore a purple tunic and jacket with a black miniskirt and leggings. On her waist she had a belt holding a sword with engraving of a skrill.

"Relax. You're at the clubhouse at Dragon's edge. Your dragon was injured but is now healing thanks to Eira." Heather said

"Oh. Thank you. But who are all of you?" She asked

"I am Hiccup, leader of the dragon riders. That's Gustav" Gustav gave a goofy grin. "Eira" Eira politely waved."Heather." Heather waved and smiled. "And these guys are visitors from Berk." Hiccup said quickly gesturing to the Berkian group, while Snotlout flexed his muscles

"What's your name and how did you end up here?" Hiccup gently asked.

"My name is Amara and I was running away from a fleet of dragon hunters. My skrill, Midnight took an arrow to her leg during the escape. We were flying at top speed for a few days until Midnight dropped out from exhaustion and pain." She buried her face in her hands and said, "I shouldn't have pushed her like that."

"It's alright, Midnight's healing well." Said Fishlegs

Hiccup looked thoughtful. "Dragon hunters you say?" Hiccup asked

"An entire fleet of them!" Amara shuddered "We barely got out of there alive! But..." She said

"But what?" Snotlout interrupted

"I saw a white colored dragon locked up in a cage. Like him." Amara said pointing to Toothless who's ears perked up once hearing about this new dragon.

"I don't know why she was locked up in there." Amara said

"Why were you even near the hunters?" Gustav asked

"I go around freeing dragons form hunters. My entire island was destroyed by Roman invaders. It was Midnight who saved me all those years ago." Amara explained

While everyone started asking Amara questions, Hiccup remained thoughtful. A white night fury? What if it was the last of its kind? They HAD to save it.

"Hey Hiccup. You okay?" Astrid asked

"Yeah. I'll be alright. Say, Amara?" Hiccup said

"Yeah." Amara replied

"Where exactly is that fleet of ships?" Hiccup asked stroking his imagionary beard

"Near Idiot Island. Why?" Amara replied now curious

"I've got a plan..." Hiccup said mysteriously

Another chapter finally finished! Huge shoutout to Nishnibbles. They gave me the idea for this chapter, so Thank you! I'm so sorry for the delay! I've been working on this for a week now.
