"Dias we should tell Uncle Gobber."
"And for the last time no. Sabur's little visit shouldn't bring any alarm to us." Dias retorted at his cousin. They have been arguing since they got back from the forest. Serena rubs her temples at Dias's stubbornness. "Dias. Please. For the love of Frigga! Cast aside you're stubbornness and listen to reason!" Dias rolled his eyes. Serena wouldn't give up for the great and good. Dias ignored her and enters the boy's room. "Serena it's really hard to believe you were raised so properly well than the twins." Serena growled. "That's because your mum and dad were there. If only you were more behaving perhaps you would listen-!" then the door slammed at her face. "…to reason. Agh, why do I even bother helping you! Dias know this, I'm always here for you to talk to. You're stupid rivalry with Sabur might be the end of us…" Serena turned around and headed to her room to get some rest and thought of a way to tell their guardian about Sabur's little visit.
Dias grumbled as he lay to bed. He was alone at the moment. He closed and thought back.
"That's it Serena hold your sword just like that." Astrid instructed. A small nine year old Serena holding a copper sword tightly and stayed in a defensive stance. Her eyes locked with the practice dummy. "Serena you should the best defense_" "-is the best offense." Serena smiled. Astrid nodded giving her a tiny smile. She turned around when she heard someone whistling, like a cat call, and narrowed her eyes towards her husband. "Well how's my girls doing?" Serena dropped her sword and ran up to his open arms. He twirled her around laughing with her. Astrid shook her head, but smiled nonetheless. Except for grouching brunette sitting on a tree branch. Watching them intently. "Uncle! Uncle Hiccup put me down!" Serena giggled. Hiccup gently placed her down and as his wife walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek. "Hey, so how'd it go?"
Hiccup smiled, "It went well. In fact were actually working on the design of the school!" He said. Serena gave a gasp and frolic around cheering. "School of Dragons~ School of Dragons~!" She chanted happily while Astrid and Hiccup laugh. Astrid averted her eyes back to her chief. "You should tell Dias about this." Hiccup nodded. He slowly set on the boy sitting on the tree glaring at his frolicking cousin. "Dias! Hey sport come down from there! I got great news to tell you!" Dias stared at him boredly. He turned his back on him and laid on the branch. Hiccup sweated. Astrid nudge him to have father-and-son moment. Hiccup sighed before he confidently walk to where his son is.
"Dias, son, come on down there so we could talk. When Dias moved, he moved higher away from his father. Hiccup looked back at Astrid and shrugged his shoulder. She pointed her finger up and gave a firm nod. Hiccup nodded and started climbing the tree. "Hey son uh… d-did you know everyone agreed to build the school!" Dias ignored him and kept on climbing. "We found this island it has a underground lava cave and get this! You can hatch dragon eggs there! S-so when its ready and it's their time of age you can have you own dragon soon!" Dias glanced at his dad and gave a tiny smile. "…yeah."
Hiccup smiled. Dias finally stopped climbing. Hiccup was just below him. "Dias, son I'm sorry if I didn't pay attention to you at all. And I know what been going between you and Serena, but-" "It's okay dad I know. Aunt Ruff and Uncle Snot are just different." Hiccup nodded. "Soo why are you glaring at her a moment ago?" His face paled. "She tried to make me wear a dress dad." "Oh. Well uh… good job" Dias chuckled and jumped down from one branch and faced his dad. "Thanks dad….Dad?" "Yea?" "Can we go for a ride?" Hiccup smirked. "That I can do. Now come on before you're mom chops this tree down."
"…Why are you guys always away when I needed you the most." He muttered and fell asleep. It's been a week and everyone attended their usual class. Amity explained to her teachers that she did feel well and incredibly they believed her. Time passed by quickly. Amity finished her train and finally seems to learn how to use the bola now. Uruman kept his eyes on her the whole day like a hawk after the berserker incident. But something else bother Ur's mind. He wondered what Dias's relationship with the berserker was.
While he was deep in thought he didn't notice bumping into Serena. Serena landed on her butt giving out a small yelp. "Ack! Sorry! I didn't watch where I was going-Serena?" Serena gave him a small smile. "It's fine I had something in my mind anyway." She fixed herself to gather her fallen books. Ur, feeling guilty, knelt down and helps her pick up her books. He noticed that there were a lot of books, but there was one book that caught his eye. "'How To Help A Family'?".
Serena flushed and snatched it away from him. She was now carrying four books while Ur had the other two. He looked at her quizzically. "Should I ask? And who writes a book like that?"
"I have no idea, but ironically I need this." Ur laugh.
"Really? Family issue?" Serena looked down.
"Oh uh…sorry it's not my business-"
"How do you do it?" Ur blinks. Serena was looking up to him with determination in her eyes.
"Do…what?"
"How do you and Amity get along so well?"
"Uhh…" before he could answer, Serena snaps her fingers and grab his arm, dragging him outside of school. Passing by surprised and whispering looks of other students. Ur, as much as he loves ladies, he had a flushed look. Serena finally stopped dragging him and found themselves behind a waterfall. Ur shook his head. "Agh water… anyway what's up?"
"Your close with your sister right?"
"yea?"
"How do two maintain such a happy and friendly relationship?"
"Uhh… I… we just do?" Serena stared. Ur sigh, he rubs his neck. He thought the reason why she's asking him this was because of Dias.
"I and Ami weren't really close at first you see, since she's my adoptive sister and all." Serena look surprised. "Why do you care for her if she's not family related" Ur looked awkward. Which is strange for him since a beautiful girl is in front of him waiting to be flirted. But nooo he has to have a family matter topic and be serious about this. Ur sighed, "That's kinda private Serena…and uh well we worked it out. She might have been a nuisance at first but we got along greatly. It's just a matter of time. I just have to understand how she felt and BAM we family now. You just have to sit down and listen."
Serena nodded. Surprising Ur that she's actually taking notes for this. He mentally face palmed. When she finished writing she smiled. "Thank you Ur. I'm sure you advice will help me with my family." She quickly left the cave leaving a confused Ur. "Wait…where exactly am I?" After realizing that she won't come back for him or leading him out Ur sighed and trudge his way out to the waterfall.
Without falling of course.
"AHHH-!Oh come on!"
"Dias! Hey Dias look what auntie Astrid gave me!" A young Serena skipped to her grouching cousin on his bed. He huffed as she sat beside him. "Go away." Serena smiled. "She made a small dragon doll! It looks like a Nadder isn't that cool!?" She beamed not noticing him flinching at what she said. Dias growled. "If you're done bloating. I'd like to be alone…" Serena frowned at this. Her relationship with Dias haven't change ever since her mom and dad argue a lot. Astrid and Hiccup let her stay at their place, since thats what Snotlout and Ruffnut wanted. They didn't want Serena see them fight or get caught in the cross fire.
"Dias come play with me please~" Serena pouted. Dias rolled his eyes. "If it shuts you up. Fine" Serena clapped her hands giddily and tackled hug him from behind. "Yeaaahhh~ Let's play dress up~"
"WHAT IN ODIN'S !"
"Dias? Diasterous Haddock! Open this door right now!" Right after the dream she suddenly appeared. His perfect little cousin who took the shine over his parents. Well that perfect little cousin of his kicked the door open. Serena can be composed and smart looking, but when she's around Dias. She's a really Viking inside. Well. She is.
"DIAS!"
"I SWEAR I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Dias jumped out. Only to relax that it was only Serena in the door. Dias huffed and lay back to bed. "Oh, it's only you Serena. For Thor's sake Serena you scared the crud out of me. I thought you were the twins." Serena looked like she was going to lecture him about it, but hesitated. Instead she sat on his bed beside him. Dias looked over brows raised. He expected her yelling or nag him. But no she sat down. "Dias I'm sorry for barging in. But I really need to know why you would risk you life for a silly rivalry with Sabur. You know he can break you're arm." Dias groan. She won't let it go will she, he thought. "If I did, you wouldn't understand."
"I will."
"You'll just cut me off."
"I won't."
"Are you going to bothering me and leave me alone." He said harshly. His getting annoyed, but he didn't mean to hurt Serena's feelings. A hurt looked show on her face, but quickly disappeared with sheer determination. "I'll listen. I won't bother you. I really want to mend our relationship. Or whatever is left of it. I really wanted to get close with you again. I want to be… a family again." She stared at him for a good minute. Dias was actually surprised about it. Sure they had ups and downs. And he knows, even though he knows that she's family and had family issues in the past. A little part of him still hated her.
"If I tell you. You better not spazz out or complain until I explain." Serena nodded.
"Yes."
"…okay."
Alright. I think this chap sucked. But I guess I should le peeps know a little more about Dias. Anyway enjoy this if you did! Tips or suggestions will be appreciated.
