Hi, so this is my chapter…Yeah I don't have a lot to say so onward!
Once the Lunarian left the room Astrid and Hiccup started to worry a lot more.
"D-Did he just say that dragon is for dinner?!" Hiccup asked feeling a lot more scared.
"Yeah…but they need Toothless so they wouldn't kill him, right?" Astrid said taking his hand in hers. Hiccup nodded. They sat there in silence just listening to the water and the crew. Astrid still had the book clutched tightly to her chest. She placed the book on her lap and opened it.
"Diana." She read quickly glancing over the page. "Is the Goddess of the moon. She is able to speak to and control animals. Her sister is Meridia. Diana was locked in the moon." Astrid read. The duo felt somewhat confused. Had someone lied to them about the real gods and goddesses?
"Read the next one." Astrid said to Hiccup turning the page. He took the book in his lap.
"Meridia- She is the goddess of the sun. She is the sister of Diana. Meridia was locked in the sun." Hiccup read. "I still don't understand why they need Toothless." He said utterly confused. "This is only a summary though but I suppose we don't have time to read the whole book." Then he paled. "D-do you think he's going to be used as a sacrifice?" He asked with fear welling in his body. Astrid shook her head.
"Didn't the Lunarians say he was Diana's child or something? Why would they kill her child?" Astrid asked trying to make them both feel better. Hiccup's color slowly returned to his face as he realized it himself.
"Yea you're right, they need Toothless to free her, right?" He said looking her in her eyes. She could see the fear in his.
"Yeah, right. He'll be okay, Hiccup. Toothless is a fighter; he wouldn't let them hurt him." She replied. He got up and walked over the the porthole and squinted.
"Astrid..d-do you see that?" He asked motioning her over. The blond walked over next to the boy and gasped. "Am I crazy or does that look like the Berk crest?"
Astrid smiled and grabbed his hand once again. It was indeed the Berk crest and there was eight or more ships coming for them. Hiccup smiled at Astrid. Just then the Lunarian that had been here before entered the room. He gave them an evil glance. He had a dagger in his hand and was walking towards them. Hiccup's eyes widened and he tried to shield Astrid from the Lunarian's view. The hooded man just threw Hiccup onto the floor.
"Umph." Hiccup said as he fell onto the ground. The Lunarian put the dagger onto Astrid's throat in one swift motion that was so fast Astrid had no time to resist. When Astrid finally tried to fight back, the Lunarian held her tightly behind her back.
"Don't hurt her!" Hiccup yelled with an edge in his voice. The man just laughed. "These approaching ships are from Berk, eh? Now if you do as I tell you, I might even let your girlfriend live!" For once in her life Astrid was actually scared. The dagger was pressing so hardly into her throat that she started to bleed. Suddenly the ship rocked. The Lunarian and Astrid were thrown to the ground and the dagger flew next to Hiccup's good leg. He picked up the dagger and stood up.
"Hiccup! The door is open!" She yelled running to him and grabbing his hand. She pulled him to the door, but another Lunarian jumped in front of them. The ship rocked again. Hiccup and Astrid were thrown to the ground once again. They could hear yelling from above them. The sound of fighting could be heard. Another Lunarian ran down.
She yelled, "Berkians! They're on the ship!"
Dawnbreaker note: Thanks to awesomebri66 for the chapter! Well Hiccup sure is scared for his dragon! I wonder if we're going to see a juicy battle scene next chapter or something completely different? Maybe gods? Toothless glowing again, what? I was surprised when after last chapter I got around 5 new writers for this story so now you're not in that much of a hurry to end this story! Isn't that great? Now you can put all the creative stuff here without hurrying!
And as always, R&R! Hope you enjoyed!
