A/N Hey guys, what's up, this is my 3rd chapter about the Uprising there will be Hiccstrid. In my story, Hiccup and Astrid are married and have been married for 3 months.

The village of Burk had flourished under Stoic the Great, the village had once denied dragons, now everyone had one. Hiccup and Astrid fly around and do many sporting events and help all the people with their work.

One day as Hiccup and Astrid were exploring, they came across a beach, about 25 miles from the beach stood a city, a huge city, upon its walls were towers and sentry men, and on the highest hill stood a citadel, the strongest and most fortified of the walls. Even from the distance, they could hear the bustling of the city. They cautiously snuck up to the city walls, then they saw several horsemen approaching them, they were in full-clad armor with spears, shields, and a sword at their side. The head of them announced, "State your business at the capitol of the province of Lossoch" the soldier said with a heavy accent.

"We come from the Island of Burk in the Northwestern Sea, we had no idea what this place is and we just wished to explore. We meant no harm." Hiccup told him

"Come with us, our king is currently in this city, we will take you to our king, you must leave your dragons, Arnorians do not welcome them." The captain told them.

Hiccup and Astrid did not expect the city to be so boisterous, there was noise everywhere, they saw guards posted at every corner, Astrid couldn't help but ask, " why are there so many soldiers everywhere.

"We are currently in a state of war, all cities have been put under siege alert. We also have word that a dragon conqueror is supporting the our enemies; Rhudaur, the Variags of Khand, and Drago Bludfist." The captain explained, "It is very hard for our citizens to be under this pressure, but some of it has been relieved since our garrison in Amon-Sul recently succeeded in defending the fort. But we are still under pressure."

"Wow, that's serious, we really want to help, we've fought 75 foot tall dragons we can help." Hiccup pleaded.

"King Aravast will welcome your proposal."

"King Aravast, we wish to help you with your problem, we've fought Drago Bludfist before and beaten him." Astrid told him.

"Gladly, I will accept your help, but first you must be tired I'll get you some living quarters, separate or just one." King Aravast asked.

"We'll just have one." Hiccup and Astrid said at the same time.

"Okay, Mara, please prepare a room for these two."

"Yes, sire"

Hiccup and Astrid got ready for bed, there was only one bed so they had to share it. At home they lived in the same house, but they had two beds. They got into bed next to each other and as usual, Hiccup started to speak, "Do you think we'll be able to help them enough, they're in a civil war and this is nation wide, the biggest fight I was in was with Drago Bludifst, but I didn't kill anyone. I'm not sure I can do this."

"Hiccup, don't worry, you can do it. You're doing it for a just cause. You heard what Aravast said, these men took a city and killed everyone, these rebels deserve to be punished. I'll be with you through the entire fight. I'll never let you go, you will always be my number one." With that last word, Astrid kissed Hiccup, "Let's get some sleep."

An army of Variags came down from the east, there was a fort that had a desirable position on a hill near Orthanc. They lined up their culverins towards the wall, the artillery-men loaded them up, then they let loose hell on the walls of the fort. Several soldiers were beheaded from the shots. The Variag archers then showered arrows over the walls, then they sent in the troops with the battering rams and the ladders. The Arnorians in retaliation shot arrows at the attackers and put bullets through the Variag soldiers and archers, then they fired the ballista's and trebuchets which lowered the morale and also lowered the defender's numbers. The ladders then got to the wall, soldiers climbed them up, the sound of swords clashing, soldiers yelling, and arrows whistling through the sounds of the surrounding area. It was a bloodbath. A Variag plunged his sword through a soldier who trying to defend the archers and that same Variag then beheaded, maimed, or disemboweled seventeen archers before finally getting cut down; an Arnorian soldier saw this and he decided to get revenge he gutted a Variag soldier then he slit two Variag's necks. He saw an automatic gun at a station with dead soldiers surrounding it, the soldier went and handled the gun, he shot without cease and killed thirty-two Variag soldiers and seventeen officers. The Variags got control of the wall and soon opened up the gates, they ran rampant through the streets of the fort, burning everything. What they didn't foresee was the amount of traps, thirty-six bombs blew up within the twenty man long and fifty men long shield wall of the Variags, this resulted in the death of 273 soldiers(there were about 400 soldiers in this shield wall. In the end though, the Variags killed every single defender within the walls.

"Sire, we lost the fort near Orthanc to an army of Variags, 3000 Variags died and all 1500 defenders were killed." A messenger announced to King Aravast.

"This is grave news indeed, very grave." Aravast said, "We will need the newcomers help, I don't know how we can win.

A/N What will happen next, find out in the next chapter. I'll also add more Hiccstrid in later chapters.
