Chapter Two When the purple star falls...
Tuesday, December 31st 0926 3:48 pm -/- somewhere over Berk...
It was unusually warm day for Berk, perfect for flying not being so cold that you'd freeze to death but not being uncomfortably warm.
Hiccup was flying with Toothless over the village appreciating the warmer climate over the usual grey overcast climate.
Today was the last day of the year and being unusually warm the berkians decided to spend the day out doing tasks that needed to be filled.
Today was the year and a half anniversary of Hiccup befriending Toothless, they decided to spend the noon hours flying, not like that was much different from any other day.
Hiccup noticed it was getting late and decided it was time to land "Alright bud time to land"
Toothless moaned and obeyed landing not too far from Hiccup's house. Ever since the battle with the red death Toothless has noticed a decrease in the amount of time Hiccup could fly. He supposed that was due to the loss of Hiccup's leg but he still wasn't happy about it and knowing that he himself is the reason the leg is missing didn't help a bit.
Hiccup dismounted Toothless and proceeded into his house with Toothless following behind him.
Stoic ,Hiccup's father, was waiting for him in the den "Ah! There ya are hiccup! How did flying around the island go?"
Hiccup sighed " Fine, just I've noticed my lack in stamina for flying since... Well you know..."
"Don't beat yourself up Hiccup. You are amazing when flying. So what if you can't go as long as you use too."
Hiccup sighed again "It's not me I'm worried about you know Toothless won't fly without me. He's just too attached, he sees flying without me as betraying me."
"Well I hope you can somehow get your stamina back up, but I have a meeting to go to concerning the berserker tribe I'll be back later" and with that stoic left leaving Hicup and Toothless alone.
Toothless didn't like seeing his rider upset so he gently nudged the teen. Hiccup turned around and smiled "You know just how to cheer me up bud."
To this statement Toothless crooned.
Tuesday, December 31st 0926 5:30 pm -/- Berk's Great Halls...
Chief Stoic was sitting at the end of the the long table in the great hall looking into the fire pit in the center.
"What are we going to do?" Stoic said in a low tone to Gobber, his beast friend and the village blacksmith.
"I don't have a clue. The berserkers are getting bolder ever since that bastered Dagur escaped from the prison and went back to being chief of the berserkers." He was right ever since Dagur escaped the berserkers have been getting more and more cocky trying ,and failing ,on multiple occasions to ether kidnap hiccup ,steal the night fury or just start an all out war.
"If this keeps happening I'm afraid we're going to have to go to way with the berserkers" Stoic said in a low, dark tone.
Gobber got up and said in a booming voice "All in favor for starting a war with the berserkers if the attempted kidnappings and invasions don't stop."
Over half the hall raised there hands in agreement "So it's settled, if the invasions don't stop we are going to war with the berserkers, we will send a message to the berserkers immediately, this meeting is adjured."
Tuesday, December 31st 0926 9:30 pm -/- the berserkers island
The berserkers had revived the message of Berks conditions.
"Well if its a war Stoic wants its something he will get" said Dagur in a menacing voice.
"Ready the ships to berk immediately we leave for berk in an hour"
"Um sir what about Hiccup and the night fury"
"Oh I've got plans for those two" Dagur said with a smirk on his face
The berserkers immediately got to work packing the ships for the raid but some of the berserkers noticed it would at least take an hour and a half to ready the ships ,but said nothing for he was afraid to go against Dagur. He didn't even want to think want to think of what happened to the last person who defied Dagur, there's still a blood stain in the grate hall from the incident.
But he wasn't the only one to notice the time restraints problems. Dagurs second in command noticed the limitations of the men and time was going to conflict and took the time to notify Dagur "Sir we're not going to make the deadline with the men we currently have"
"I said one hour Can anyone do everything correctly around here! Ill give you an extra thirty minutes but that's it! if you go over ill make an example of you." Dagur said in a tone that could freeze water. Dagurs second in command swallowed dryly
"It will be done sir."
Tuesday, December 31st 0926 10:00 pm -/- outcast island...
"Alvin we've just received word that the berserkers have declared war on berk."
This news did not surprise Alvin but made him wonder a simple question.
"What do we do? Help berk, help the berserkers or stay neutral?"
"Well be imprisoned by Stoic or killed by Dagur?"
"Help the berserkers it is then" Alvin said quickly, he wanted to help stoic but he didnt want to be torchered by dagur if berk lost "Where dose the berserkers want to meet us"
"Outside of helheim's gate"
"why there of all places?"
"I don't know sir"
This news disturbed Alvin, why would Dagur want to meet them near the dragon nest, its a barren place full of deadly dragons.
"Maybe somewhere that berk wont think to look."
"Aye maybe"
Alvin didn't think that was the reason but, he wouldn't question Dagurs reasons that didn't mean it didn't unnerve him...
Tuesday, December 31st 0926 11:45 pm -/- ravens point...
It was a clear night on berk and still warm for winter but that didn't mean it wasn't cold. Hiccup was laying against Toothless' warm scales while he drew the night sky, Hiccup had always admired the billions of little points in the night sky.
Hiccup sighed "You ever wonder if were alone, if there is nothing else out there besides us on this world" Hiccup asked to no one in particular. Even though Hiccup couldn't here Toothless, Toothless would still answer his questions.
"Not particularly but you always have to wonder..." Toothless said but all Hiccup herd was a croon but got the basic idea.
"It has always amazed me how much you can understand bud" Toothless crooned in agreement.
The night was peaceful and Hiccups eyes where getting heavy "Its hard to believe not a year and a half ago we forged our friendship here"
"Yeah"
...
Hiccup was just starting to fall asleep when he caught glimpse of a faint purple light "Huh?" Toothless looked where Hiccup was looking and cocked his head. That was not a meteor, meteors burn red, orange and yellow, this thing was burning purple, white and blue and was slowly getting bigger.
All of the sudden it got unbearably bight, brighter then the sun illuminating EVERYTHING and producing a large amount of heat as it disappeared over the horizon, and shortly after there was a bright flash from the horizon.
"What the hell was THAT!?" Hiccup all but shouted
"I do not know"
"C'mon bud lets get back to the village and see if they know." without a word Hiccup mounted Toothless and flew back to the village in record time "Did any of you see that?"
"Aye most of the village saw it, its hard to miss" said Gobber in a slightly nervous tone.
"Any clue what it was" Hiccup asked in a hopeful tone.
"None, the only thing we know is that it landed somewhere near dragon island" Gobber replied in a tone that sounded emotionless.
"And it left a hemi-sphere from the looks of it." stoic said joining in on the conversation between gobber and hiccup.
looking over at the horizon he saw a slight curved purple dome-like structure in the direction of dragon island "Ok so what do we do? We have a un-identified object that fell from the sky and looks to be protected so do we wait till morning to go and scout it?'
About as soon as Hiccup finished the sentence the sonic blast from the impact hit taking everyone off guard and causing a few people to fall
"Ok ill take that as wait till tomorrow to investigate the object. So in the morning me and the other dragon riders will go check it out and see if it safe got it" Stoic was about to protest to his sons idea but stopped himself and nodded.
"Ok you and the others will check it out in the morning." and with that they all left to tell the village not to panic about this...
Little did they know they should have been worried...
Tuesday, December 31st 0926 11:55 pm -/- helheim's gate
Dagur smirked as he saw the outcasts ships approaching. I knew those outcasts would chose me over stoic dagur thought to himself. Alvin boarded his ship "Why would you want to meat here of all places"
"Last place berk would think to look"
"Ok so whats the war plan Dagur"
"Well we'll have to capture Hiccup and use him as leverage and thell come to us" Dagur said with a evil expression
"But wh.." Alvin stopped short as soon as he noticed the purple glow his first reaction was to go to the deck for fear of the night fury blast, but this was no night fury blast and soon the light coming from the object was unbearably bright and the heat and then it made contact with dragon island breaking many of the sea stacks and sending many of the outcast and berserkers ships to the bottom of the see and blowing off masts of the ships that where not sunk.
The blast had blown the fog away from the island and left nothing but a large crater where the island was "What the fuck was that!" both Alvin and Dagur shouted nothing could enplane what just happened.
"We don't have the ships to investigate this now we will return to our islands and return tomorrow morning to find out what did THIS" Dagur said to Alvin before heading back to the berserkers island.
Little did Dagur know he was signing his death-wish for returning tomorrow morning...
