Enpowera: An update at last! I told you guys I was heading back to work. I'll try to update once every two weeks or so. More Dagur/Hiccup fluff.

Spoiler for Race to the Edge: In this chapter we get to meet Brenna- Dagur's older sister who shows her love by being a bitch. The idea for her character came about as Dagur mentioned having a sister who uses a shield in the TV series. This leads to the conclusion that Dagur int he tv series has two sisters: Heather and Unknown Sister. In this fanfiction Dagur only has the one sister- Brenna/unknown sister. I'm making her about ten years older than Dagur. She's married and has her own place to live, but likes to visit all the time. End Spoilers


The next morning, the house was filled with the scents of breakfast and the quiet mutterings of the house staff. Hiccup was snuggled in bed listening to the sounds, enjoying not having to get up at the crack of dawn to cook. A girl could get spoiled like this. Alas all good things must end.

Her door creaked open a bit and one of the more soft-spoken servants spoke, "M-My lady? Breakfast is ready, do you wish to join our chief and his son?"

"I guess," Hiccup yawn and stretched. Her hair was mussed from her restless sleep.

"Would you like some help with your hair?" The servant tried not to giggle.

"Um…" Hiccup was uncertain about accepting help, "I usually do it myself. As it is I'm just happy I don't have to make breakfast."

"Very well. How long will you be?"

"Maybe ten to fifteen minutes," Hiccup answered, glad she didn't offend the servant.

"Very well," the maid left.

Hiccup quickly got out of bed and dressed into a pair of leggings and a tunic, not wanting to wear a skirt for the training that would start today. She then worked on getting her hair fixed, braiding it tightly so that it wouldn't bother her when she got sweaty during her training. Once finished she slipped on her boot and left her room, trying to figure out which way to go to get to the dining area.

"This way," a servant showed up in the nick of time to lead her.

Hiccup followed and was happy to reach the dining room and see that food was left.

"Hiccup!" Dagur waved her over and a servant grabbed a spare seat for her to sit beside him.

Hiccup sat down beside him, "Good morning," She smiled.

"Find your way here okay?"

"A servant helped me,"

"Oh, heh… sorry, had to clean up the damage from last night before I could eat, forgot about ya."

"It's fine," Hiccup shrugged, "I really didn't feel like getting up till just a bit ago anyway."

"Ahh, got'cha." He nodded and understood, he was the one to rush to her aid after all.

Breakfast continued with light chitchatter about plans for today. A girl who looked remarkably like Dagur and a Berserker tribesman arrived at the table too. They were Dagur's (significantly older) sister Brenna and her husband Brynjar.

"Dagur, instead of shadowing me Chiefing this morning you will train Hiccup in the art of battle, understood?" Oswald stated.

"Dagur train anyone? I'd love to see how that works out," Brenna teased light heartedly, as is the way of siblings.

"Aw c'mon Brenna, cut me some slack here," Dagur mumbled into his apple.

"Dagur is a good warrior and will do a fine job," Oswald stated, "so don't tease him,"

"Yes, father," Brenna returned to her own breakfast of eggs and fruit.

Hiccup watched the conversation with interest. She was used to quick breakfasts with little talking, not chatting and teasing between siblings.

"So, sis, how've things been on your end of life?" Dagur asked as he worked on slicing up an orange.

"Good. My Valkyrie unit is coming along wonderfully," She bragged about her shieldmaiden group. "We'll be ready to overwhelm any opponents."

"Cool, but not as cool as riding a dragon." Dagur smirked.

"None of us ride dragons. All the warriors with baby dragons have just that, baby dragons," Brenna stated.

"I have my ways."

"I can ride my dragon, Toothless," Hiccup stated.

"You mastered a dragon?" Brynjar looked disbelieving at the scrawny (in his opinion) girl.

"Her and her friends! They even took down a queen dragon!" Dagur beamed proudly.

Hiccup blushed red, "well we only took her down because we had too...she was evil…"

"How big?" Brenna was interested.

"As a mountain," Hiccup answered.

"Wow," Brenna actually sounded impressed, "yet you've had no formal training?"

"Toothless did most of the work...I just strategized,"

"Hiccup is one of the smartest vikings in her village," Oswald explained to his daughter.

"Oh. Shame she can't be chief there,"

"But I am next in line to be chief…" Hiccup felt confused.

"What?" Brenna was shocked. Her father wouldn't let her be chief. He hadn't even considered it before Dagur was born, even though she was his only child at the time.

"I am to be Berk's next chief unless something major happens," Hiccup explained.

"So that runt can be a chief and I can't?" Brenna did not look pleased and due to her displeasure, was more than willing to insult the girl desperate enough to bed her brother.

There was an awkward silence for a few moments…

"BRENNA! Go back to your own home till you learn how to be polite. I raised you better!" Oswald was furious at his daughter.

"Whatever. Breakfast is done anyway," Brenna stood to leave, her husband following after a sad look at his unfinished breakfast.

Breakfast was finished quietly. Hiccup didn't feel up to speaking after Brenna''s outburst, feeling guilty even though she wasn't at fault. She was still quiet as Dagur led her towards the training grounds, only perking up as she heard Dagur grow excited in discussing the various violent things that took place at the training grounds.

"...There are blood stains," Hiccup was mildly disturbed at the blood stains on the walls and some equipment.

"It's the training grounds, of course there is lots of bloodshed," Dagur looked very over eager. "So, what do you wanna try first? Sword? Axe? Hammer?"

"I generally use a sword," Hiccup stated, "My father insisted as it was the lightest weapon."

"Let's see here…" Dagur dug through to see what kind of swords they had, most of them being pretty beaten up due to their years of being put through practice and sparring, "Nope, nope, no, why do we still even keep this one, won't work, no way, too rusty…"

"I have mine in my room if I need to grab that, but it isn't dulled," amazingly.

"That'll work, it's better to work with a weapon you already know than something different."

"Okay. I'll run back to get it," Hiccup went to take off. Soon all of Berserker Isle learned how clumsy Hiccup was as she tripped after taking a few steps. "Ow…"

Dagur helped her up, "Bleeding?"

"No...Just my pride…" Hiccup blushed. She could hear the murmurs of doubt about training her to use weapons, just like on Berk.

"We can patch that up right quick with stabbing!" Dagur stated cheerfully with a smile, then got the training dummies set up for her.

Whilst he was doing that Hiccup ran to get her sword, returning shortly, having avoided any additional falls.

"Ooo, sweet sword." Dagur nodded.

"Thanks," Hiccup blushed. Her father splurged a lot on the sword- the pros of being an only child.

"So, show me what you got!" He motioned to the dummies and stepped aside.

Hiccup did...doing horribly against the training dummies, eventually getting her sword stuck. Snickers were heard from nearby vikings who'd paused in their training. Make them go away so I can suffer in private….

Dagur was sure to scare them off in various ways, the mildest being a glare and a threatening wave of the axe he picked up. Oswald might hear about him chasing people off in the near future…

"Dagur...I can't get my sword out…." Hiccup looked ridiculous trying to pull the sword out of the dummy.

"Coming!" Dagur walked over and worked on pulling it out, succeeding after a few pulls.

"Thank you," Hiccup took it back with a blush. "How about we trying something else? The dummies and I don't seem to be getting along very good."

"Try against me?" Dagur suggested as he reclaimed his axe.

"Okay. just go easy on me…" Hiccup got into a fighting position. She felt much more comfortable against a real person.

Dagur gave an impressive twirling with his axe and then motioned for her to come at him first.

Hiccup rushed forward to attack, swinging her sword in a downward arc and giving a battle yell.

Dagur blocked and shoved her off, "Good first try, but you gotta keep your stance strong."

Hiccup did another attack, this one much more furious than the last one. Her footing was stronger and more stable, leading to a more precise strike.

Dagur found himself having to back up a bit and be a bit more aggressive in his blocking and moving her, "You're a fast study!"

"I don't like being knocked back easily."

"Fair point," he shrugged and then took a swing at her.

The training continued for a while, Hiccup's behavior changing the more Dagur pushed her in the training, soon it seeming like she was two different people.

Maybe this was a bad idea… Dagur thought as he avoided a swing that threatened to take off the top of his skull. "Hiccup? Hiccup, we should take a break!" he stated in a hurried manner.

"No way…" Hiccup was not going to back down. I won't be defeated. It was obvious her understanding of friend and foe went out the window.

"Hiccup, we're just sparring!" Dagur reminded as he found himself doing more and more dodges and blocks.

"Hiya!" Hiccup took a powerful swing at him, luckily opening up her guard.

Dagur quickly took the chance to give her enough of a hit to knock her back, then worked on pinning her down. Hiccup struggled against him for a few minutes, moving this way and that while looking ready to kill him.

Dagur was really, really wishing he had thought to bring backup. Or had Toothless around. Or had Toothless as backup. "HICCUP!"

The sudden yell of her name brought Hiccup back to reality, and she blushed red at Dagur pinning her. "What…?"

"Little brother...shame on you. I knew something was up when I saw all the trainees practicing outside. Taking advantage of our guest when you should be training her?" Brenna revealed her presence. Her tone of voice was lightly teasing.

"I was!" Dagur got to his feet, "I pinned her down because she was going… well, berserk!"

"It is a part of the blood. You should know that. Granted you haven't trained anyone before, so maybe you don't," Brenna stated.

Dagur scowled then sulked over to his big sister and spoke to her in a lowered voice, "This was different, it was like she was a completely different person."

"Two halves of a whole...she needs a medium between the peacelover and the warrior part of her. It's common with mixed blood." Brenna explained further, "Maybe I should train her instead. Though it would be amusing to see you respond to her more wild side…"

Dagur's face went red, from anger or being flustered was unclear, "Fine then, you do it!" he stormed off with angered grumblings.

"You two have got to work on your people skills," Hiccup was torn between following Dagur and being left alone with Brenna.

"You got to work on your battle skills~," Brenna chimed, "now get up and back to work. There'll be time for you to fuck my brother later tonight."

"We aren't…!"

"Fight!" Brenna lunged forward on the unsuspecting Hiccup forcing her to respond and get a trial by fire learning method.

A few hours later had a very sore Hiccup and happy looking Brenna arriving at the Mead Hall to snag some lunch.

Dagur may or may not have been following them after training was finished. In secret. And acting like he just got there. "Brenna, what did you do to her?"

"Training," Brenna had a 'duh' tone to her voice.

"I'm fine...I just never really had training before…" Hiccup assured Dagur.

"Let's get you off your feet for a bit and some food in your gut," Dagur lead Hiccup away from his crazy older sister and got the best for Hiccup to recharge with.

Hiccup scarfed down her food, her light breakfast having long since been burnt through. She'd never been worked so hard before in her life. It was nice being treated like she wouldn't break by someone, even if it did lead to bruises.

"You're doubling up on breakfast next time," even Dagur was surprised by how much Hiccup was putting away. Is she even gaining any weight?

"I didn't realize how much energy training would take," Hiccup shrugged as she finally slowed down her mad rush to scarf down food.

Dagur made a quiet "Oh," then started eating too. He had been given food, but seeing Hiccup nigh unto obliterate her own food made him forget that.

An hour later had Brenna dragging Hiccup back to training. Hiccup tried to protest but Brenna had none of it.

"Aim low!" Was Dagur's oh so helpful advice.

Lucky for Hiccup the training was only for another hour, Brenna deciding she'd have to work Hiccup up to a full training regime. Hiccup was helped home by her bodyguards -who'd finally reappeared- and barely managed to strip off her training clothes before crashing on the bed.

There was a knock on her door, "Hiccup, it's me, is it okay to come in?" Oh look, Dagur.

"Mmmfff" her voice was muffled by the pillow.

"It's not a no?" Dagur peeked in just a bit just to be safe.

Hiccup didn't even react, so used to her privacy being violated by a certain dragon. She just curled up on her pillow a bit, pulling her covers around her to hide from the noise.

Dagus came in and sat beside her, "Rough day, I know. Don't worry though, the more conditioning you get, the less pain you're gonna be in at the end of the day."

"I know. I just hurt in places I didn't even know existed," Hiccup groaned.

Dagur was about to reach out and pat her in comfort, but thought twice about it due to how sore she was right now, "Want some mead?"

"That'd be great," Hiccup smiled, sitting up a bit, blanket sliding down like they tend to do, Hiccup paying it no mind.

"Hiccup…" Dagur was now looking at the floor with his face matching his hair.

"What? Oh!" Hiccup realized what'd happened and pulled the covers back up, "relax Dagur. It's not like I'm the first girl you've seen with no clothes on," Yes, Hiccup had zero modesty at this point.

Dagur squeaked and hid his face in his hands. "Not...really…"

"But...you're the chief's son...surely..." Hiccup was pleasantly surprised, as Brenna made it sound like women were throwing themselves at Dagur's feet in hopes he'd bed them.

"With a title 'the Deranged,' it's not exactly a good… introduction with the ladies. Not even here." Plus the whole face paint to mimic a animal scar and all.

"I think you must not notice," Odin knows Hiccup could see all the women eyeing him. A part of her was happy he hadn't been with any other women though.

"Notice what?" Dagur asked, almost catching a glimpse of her, but managing to catch himself before doing so and staring at his shoes.

"Almost every unmarried women under twenty five wants you. They sneak glances all the time,"

"...They do? I thought those were the bad kind? All that squinting and stuff."

Hiccup resisted the urge to laugh, but failed,a giggle escaping, "of course you wouldn't notice." Hiccup was so very pleased that Dagur's attention was solely on her.

Dagur would have given her a confused look was it not for their current and very awkward situation.

"It's funny. I'd always thought you'd had experience...especially after seeing how the girls on this island look at you…"

Dagur just shrugged.

"You should probably get going and I want to nap," Hiccup changed the topic.

"Yup! I'll have a bottle in the kitchen for ya when you're ready for it, see it!" Dagur made haste and then hid in his own room after getting said mead bottle.

Hiccup fell into a deep sleep, sleeping in past dinner. The sheer exhaustion left her dreamless.

"Where is she?" Oswald was worried that something had happened to Hiccup as dinner was being wrapped up.

"Man, sis must've really knocked her for a loop to have slept this long…" Dagur mumbled, "I'll go see." He walked off and gently knocked on Hiccup's door. "Hiccup?"

Light snoring was heard coming from the room.

Dagur carefully opened her door and looked inside, "Hiccup?" He called in a slightly louder tone.

"Hmm, what is it?" Hiccup groaned as she awoke, rolling over to face Dagur.

"You missed dinner!" He said hurriedly as he looked away.

"Oh! I'll get dressed real fast," Hiccup paid his discomfort no mind as she left her blankets to slip on a dress that required minimal effort to slip on.

Dagur just closed the door and waited with his legs crossed. "All good?" Dagur called after a bit.

"Let's go get some food," Hiccup groggily stated as she opened the door. She yawned cutely and rubbed her eyes to try to wake up more. She'd just settled on a light green dress that reached down to her knees.

Dagur stared at her dumbly for a moment before giving some noise of confirmation and walked to the kitchen/dining area with her.

It was pretty much empty except for Oswald the Agreeable. He gave them a smile as they entered.

"Hi, Dad… Hiccup still needs dinner, we got anything left?"

"I had the cook save her a plate. Thank you for fetching her," Oswald stated.

"Thank you, sir," Hiccup smiled thankfully. Her stomach was very upset at her for almost missing dinner.

Oswald nodded and stood to leave, "Good night now. Don't stay up too late. Brenna is a strict teacher."

"Yes, sir," Hiccup sat down to start on her meal.

"I'll make sure she's back in bed after dinner, don't worry!" Dagur reassured.

Oswald nodded and left. Hiccup finished her dinner as quick as she could, eager to return to bed.

"All done," Hiccup stated awkwardly.

Dagur blinked a few times due to being so surprised, "Make that triple the food for breakfast." Then after some awkward silence he escorted her back to her room.

"Thanks for getting me up for dinner, Dagur," Hiccup gave him a shy smile as they reached her room.

"No problem, and good luck with my sister. She's a… tough one."

"She's good at teaching though," Hiccup stated, "anyway, good night," she leaned up to give him a quick kiss.

Dagur was a bit surprised but found himself leaning towards her as well, a little of him melting when he felt her lips against his.

Hiccup broke the kiss after a few seconds, blushing, "and now I should really be getting back to bed."

"Y-Yeah," Dagur sighed, "g'night."

"You can join me if you want," Hiccup blushed, "not for that. Just for some company...and maybe a few more kisses?"

Dagur's mouth hung open just a bit on such a request.

"I...really like you...and I'm just not used to sleeping alone…" Hiccup was stuttering over words, trying to get the wording right, "pleasant thoughts might help keep the bad dreams away."

"Uh, yeah! M-Makes sense to me," Dagur found he was kind of tripping over his own words as well, "my bed's bigger though, for...reasons." Those reasons being that he needed the space for if/when he rolled over.

"Okay, we'll head to your room then. Just let me change into my nightgown real fast," Hiccup rushed into her room to change.

Dagur waited inside his room on the bed, staring up at the ceiling wondering why he's agreed to joined him a few minutes later, plopping down in bed beside him. She curled up close.

Lyin' here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile

I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms
We don't need to rush this
Let's just take it slow

"Much better than being alone…" Hiccup started, "I never thought I'd missed bunking with Toothless so much…"

"Maybe we should send for him?" Dagur suggested. If she was really getting that homesick…

"No. I'll be fine," Hiccup assured, "it's nice getting some alone time with you…"

"Heh, first time I've heard that," Dagur laughed weakly, "usually people wanna avoid being around me for too long."

"Well they're stupid," Hiccup snuggled him a bit.

Dagur felt a major blush creep up his cheeks. Snuggling was… different, but not in a bad way. He doesn't remember the last time this happened (while sober at least).

Hiccup was blushing too but didn't want to give in to her nervousness. She moved a bit so that she could give him a kiss.

Dagur leaned in and kissed her again without thinking about it, the mood giving him some lovely warm fuzzies.

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
No I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far

Hiccup knew her blush would never fade, but the tingly feeling of kissing someone was more than worth it. A few minutes later had her breaking the kiss, her exhaustion from the day returning.

"W-Wow…" Dagur said softly.

"Yeah...let's go to sleep before we take things too far…" Hiccup mused.

"Agreed." Dagur closed his eyes and waited for sleep to come.

And so the sweet oblivion of sleep overtook them.

Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight
