Note: In this chapter I am going show Hans' family, who we know nothing about. Considering Disney, his father may have one wife who died or had all twelve children. If his wife died, he could have a few stepmothers for his kids. Anyway, you will see what I went with in the story itself.
Chapter: 13: Aftermath
Stoick and the rest of the Vikings stayed in Arendelle for the remainder of the week, which was due to a majority of things. One reason was due to Hiccup needing his rest in order to properly heal. Another reason was due to the aftermath of the war, and the court hearing that was scheduled to resolve the issues that caused it. Stoick had turned over his two prisoners to Arendelle, and the two young men were arrested by the guards, they would stand trial as well. Erna the Lustful was killed in battle, and she was only one of the handful of Vikings that had been killed. The casualties were worse on Arendelle's side of the war. Stoick overlooked the funerals of his fallen. The ships for them had been sent into the fjord, after they were buried with their weapons, and set on fire.
"Hans' family should be arriving soon." Anna told him.
Stoick looked over at the young princess, she did not seem as afraid of him now. Stoick nodded in response. The trail was set to start in two hours. Hans' men were almost completely wiped out, so they got their information from those that surrendered, which were very few. Hans himself had survived the blow to his back, but Stoick smiled at the thought of the young man never walking again, it was a fitting punishment. That thought would get him through the trial.
The two hours came quicker than Stoick had expected it to, with all the tasks he had to do, it seemed like only an hour had passed. Stoick, and a few of his men, were escorted into the courtroom. They sat on one side, and the Arendelle guards sat on the other side of the courtroom. With the Queen still recovering from her wounds, her adviser would be presiding over the hearing. Stoick saw the Duke of Weaseltown being dragged to the stand.
Stoick looked over, and saw a man that was dressed very nicely sitting with a group of women. He saw some features on the man's face that reminded him of Hans. Near the women were eleven adult males. Stoick noted that one women seemed to be his wife, but the others looked like concubines. There were four in total, one blonde, two brunettes, one black haired woman, and one red head. One brunette was the man's wife, and only two of the young men looked like her. Six of the young men looked like the black haired one. There were two blonde young men, and two young men that looked like the other brunette. The redhead appeared to be Han's mother. Stoick noted that the only the two brunettes, the black haired woman, and the blonde sat together and appeared to be friends. The redhead was not part of the group.
Stoick was interrupted when the doors opened. A guard was wheeling Hans into the room. Hans was wearing a simple white robe, and he was not all there. The cocky attitude he had displayed in battle, and even when he was originally hurt, was completely gone. The stupid young man seemed his age at the moment.
"Let the trail begin." The adviser said.
The trail lasted for over four hours, and when it was over, Stoick was glad. The Duke of Weaseltown would be banned forever from setting foot on Arendelle territory, and Stoick watched him get take on a ship that would take him home. To Stoick's relief, Berk would not be held accountable for their actions, since they had been tricked into the warring with Arendelle. The only real punishment they had to face was rebuilding the areas they had damaged. Hans would not be executed, as Stoick had hoped, because his father had pleaded for his life. Stoick had noted, with satisfaction, that his family viewed him with disgust as they led him away. Hans would stay at his father's castle under house arrest.
It only took Stoick's tribe two days to rebuild the damage they had caused. During those two days, Hiccup had made a full recovery, and spent time with his new and old friends. Hiccup even took Astrid on a couple of dates as well. Stoick made sure that they were escorted the entire time by Gobber, much to their annoyance, and to Gobber's amusement. Toothless went with them too, and children would swarm Hiccup and Astrid to get to Toothless and ask questions, which further hindered their dates.
Stoick spent those two days negotiating with the Queen, who was still timid around him. He did not blame her, though, because their encounter was not under the best circumstances. The young Queen did impress him, though, because she was stronger than he looked. She did not sway in conditions for the treaty they created with one another.
When it was time to leave, and the ships were packed with supplies, Queen Elsa escorted Stoick to the newly repaired docks. Stoick spotted Hiccup talking to Kristoff and Anna. Toothless and Astrid were standing next to him on either side. Sharpshot, the newly healed Iggy, and the rest of the terrors flew on to the ship, and settled in the crow's nest.
"Thank you for everything." Hiccup told them.
Anna was on the brink of tears, which caused Toothless to nuzzle her.
"Will we ever see you again?" Anna asked
"Yep, and we have Sharpshot to help us keep in touch." Hiccup replied.
To Hiccup's surprise, Anna threw her arms around him in a hug.
"I don't want you to go!" Anna sobbed. "I don't want to say goodbye to my little brother!"
"Goodbye isn't forever." Astrid spoke up. "We'll visit again."
"Yeah, since we're allied now, we'll see more of each other." Hiccup told Anna.
Anna let him go, and dried her tears on the sleeve of her dress. Kristoff gently hugged her to help her calm down. Hiccup and Astrid turned to leave.
"Don't be a stranger!" Kristoff called after them.
"We won't!" Hiccup replied.
Both Hiccup and Astrid boarded the ship.
The ship ride back to Berk was pretty uneventful for the most part. Stoick had made sure that Snotlout and the twins had been separated from each other, and put on different ships. The ones on Hiccup and Stoick's ship were Astrid, Fishlegs, and their dragons. Stoick made sure, actually pretty much forced, the kids from riding their dragons home. Hiccup would never admit it, but he was glad his father made that call. The events of everything that happened caught up to Hiccup, and his friends, so they spent most of the trip back sleeping.
"Son, wake up, we're home." Stoick told him.
Hiccup rubbed his eyes, and let his dad lead him to the deck of the ship. Hiccup smiled when he saw Berk after two weeks of not being there. The ship reached the docks a half hour later, and much to his surprise, Hiccup was welcomed home with cheers.
TO BE CONTINUED….
Note: The ship ride back was three days, Hiccup and his friends pretty much slept for twenty-four hours on the final day back, because I see them being super exhausted after the adrenaline wore off. Yes, they were stuck in Arendelle for a week, where they could get rest, but they were still pretty active due to the events around them. See you in the bonus chapter!
