Chapter 7
Lucas leaped over the pool of hot soup on the floor and threw his arms around his wide-awake sister "you're awake!"
Anna groaned in pain "Lucas get off me! It hurts!"
He let go of his sister and sat in front of her.
"Where are we?" She asked looking around the room before turning back to the blond in front of her. "And why are you wearing a skirt?"
He laughed, "It's a long story but I think we're in Berk." He said and told her of the painting he had found in Stoic's house "our dad was the chief's son!" He watched as her green eyes widened in surprise and her face practically glow in happiness.
"That's amazing!"
Suddenly the door flew open and Anna barged into the room and gasped, "you're awake! I didn't expect you to wake up so soon."
Lucas left his sisters side and stood next to the healer "Anna." He said to his sister "meet Anna. I think she's the woman mom and dad named you after." She stared at her brother in shock "she figured out I wasn't a girl and said she knew mom."
Anna leapt up from her bed but quickly sat back down "oh my head." The healer giggled before walking over to her "you fell off your dragon and you were knocked unconscious of course your head would hurt."
She sat on the other bed and stared at the two children in front of her. "So where are your parents?"
"Draco. It's a little island north of here." Lucas said quickly.
"Oh yes. I've heard of Draco. It sounds like a peaceful village."
The twins nodded.
"So. How are you parents? Is your fathers leg doing all right?" Lucas nodded "he limps around sometimes when he's tired but other than that nothing to report."
She smiled "that's good. What about your mother? Is she-"
"I'm sorry miss but I have to interrupt."
The healer looked at the little girl and nodded "what is it?"
"Can you tell us why our parents are in Draco and not here?"
Anna sighed before standing up and turning towards the wall "your mother was pregnant with you two at a very young age." The twins nodded. That they knew.
"Here in Berk a child born out of wedlock is banished and must never return."
Lucas stood straight up "they were banished?"
Anna shook her head quickly and tried her best to calm the frightened child before her "no. No one knows what happened to them, but my best guess would be they ran away."
The blond sighed in relief before sitting back down next to his sister. "Now. How about a walk around the village?"
The twins looked at each other before nodding.
It took some work but Anna was finally able to stand up and walk on her own, but every few steps she would wobble and lean on her brother for support.
They had taken one step out of the hut when they were stopped by Chestnut. Lucas and Anna groaned.
"Hey guys. What brings you here?"
(Draco)
Astrid blew into a paper bag Hiccup had given her so that he could talk to Tinker in peace. "I don't understand! We've searched everywhere and checked their room twice! Their room is completely empty and they aren't in the woods, the map shop, or the forge!"
Tinker nodded "oh dear. This is serious indeed. Have you seen their dragon anywhere?"
"No."
Tinker sighed sadly "all we can do is wait and see…"
Toothless looked at Arrow, his green eyes filled with worry, like his rider he too feared for his child's life.
In the twelve years that had come to pass Toothless had grown attached to the black and gold Zippleback that continuously called him father.
Arrow stood at his side, still tall, proud and stubborn but Toothless knew him far to well. He knew Arrow missed their child.
That's right their child. Over the years Arrow and Toothless had refused to mate with another dragon. They liked the others well enough but they were too different from the dragons on Berk.
They weren't nearly as brave or as spirited as Fireworm. They weren't funny or troublesome like Zack and Wheezie. They weren't humble and intelligent liked Horrorcrow.
So the two dragons spent their days wandering the forests together and watching Tarina and Torin grow into a playful Zippleback.
Of course it wasn't long before Toothless and Arrow mated. The other dragons despised them for it, but Hiccup, Astrid, and the twins were just fine with it and Tarina and Torin were so happy that they now had parents that they stayed by the two dragons for a whole week.
Toothless did think it was weird at times but not once did he regret it. Arrow agreed as well.
And if anyone had anything rotten to say well they could eat shit because the two dragons could care less what anyone else said. (Don't hate their love. Respect yaoi!)
"They're fine Arrow."
The nadder looked at his mate before slightly whimpering, "I know, but I can't help but be worried."
Arrow nestled himself under his mates wing and cuddled close "I want them to come home Toothless."
"I want them home too."
(Berk)
Chestnut smirked at the shocked twins in front of her. She had seen Lucas when she and Walnut had stopped by and even with his disguise she could pick him out.
"What brings you to Berk?"
Lucas bit his lip before saying "we found out our parents were born here, but ran away."
Chestnuts smile fell and she frowned sadly. "Oh. Do you know why they ran away?"
Anna nodded "yes, but we don't want anyone to know why our parents ran away."
"And we don't want anyone to know that our parents are from here either."
Chestnut raised an eyebrow before sighing "all right. I don't understand it but I'll go with it. I'll just pretend that I don't know you."
The twins sighed in relief "we owe you one Chestnut."
The brunette turned away and smirked "yes you do. See ya!"
Anna, the healer, rolled her eyes before leading the children to the heart of the village.
She stopped at the arena and led the children inside "and here's where your father spent his time when he wasn't working at the forge."
"Dad was a blacksmith here too?"
Anna nodded "yes. He was only an apprentice but he was pretty good for a child so young, but he would come here in the morning and teach the village children how to ride a dragon." The twins peeked inside the arena to see a chubby man with short blond hair sitting on top of a Gronkle. A tiny group of children sat on the floor, listening intently.
Suddenly the man clapped his hands, smiled and the children scurried off. "Lessons over for the day. It's the other kid's turn now."
"Other kids?" Lucas asked looking up at her.
"The older children. The little one's are taught in the morning and the older kids are taught in the afternoon."
The twins shrugged before moving on. "Here's the blacksmith." Anna said pointing to the tiny smithy.
Lucas beamed "dad worked here when he was a kid?"
Anna smiled "yes, and he was very good at it."
"He taught me everything he knows!" He exclaimed, "Can I go inside?"
A look of worry crossed Anna's face "all right, but your sister and I will go in with you. All right?" He nodded and practically skipped to the smithy.
Anna knocked on the door and a large burly man with blonde hair answered the door.
"What brings ye' here Anna?" The man asked standing aside and letting the three walk in.
"I've brought a young girl who's interested in your work!"
"Oh really now? Which one?"
Lucas practically jumped in front of the burly man.
"Me!"
Gobber looked down at the young blonde and knelt to her level and studied her carefully "she's a bit small, but ye' remind me of me own apprentice! A river reed he was! Barely could hold his own in the field! But could bring down the heaviest hammer on the strongest piece of steel!"
Lucas beamed at the praise given unknowingly to his father.
"My father taught me everything he knows!" Gobber raised an eyebrow "oh really then? Well where are ye from?"
"I'm from Draco!"
Gobber smirked "well let's see if those Draco black smiths know anything!"
Lucas smirked "you're on!"
The two turned around and began hammering away at pieces of metal.
The healer shook her head before laying a hand on Anna's shoulder. The young girl looked up at her and rolled her eyes.
"Let's leave this two alone."
They left the smithy and traveled to the arena.
"Ah, you're mothers favorite place on Berk." Anna smiled as they walked into the training area.
"We may be at peace with dragons, but there are still places out there that we are at war with so we train the children to be Vikings here." Anna looked around excitedly at the children throwing weapons of all kinds at targets and sparring battles of all kinds going on.
Anna walked over to a tall man with black hair and tapped his shoulder "Snotlout?"
The man whirled around and smiled "Anna! What brings you here?"
"Meet my new friend, Anna."
Snotlout smirked "well. Two Anna's! It's a pleasure to meet you!" He said nodding at the younger of the two.
"How is your wife? Is she all right?"
"I told you Anna a million times she's fine and a bit to ready to have that baby of hers delivered!"
"Oh I'm sorry! Go on with your teachings!"
Snotlout sighed suddenly and scratched his head "I hope we get a boy this time."
Anna's mouth dropped open "Snotlout! I thought you were above "A son is better than a daughter!"
"I am! It's just; if we have a boy we can name him after… You know."
Suddenly Anna's anger disappeared and she nodded "Ahh. Your cousin, understood."
The young Viking tilted her head to the side; she opened her mouth to speak when suddenly something else caught her eye. "Archery!" She ran off and grabbed a bow and arrow. "Mind if I try?" She asked turning to Snotlout.
The man shrugged "go for it."
The red head cheered before fitting the arrow into the string. She took in a deep breath and released the arrow. The sharp object flew from the bow and slammed right in the center of the target.
"Yes!"
"An amazing shot!"
Anna smirked "I can do better!" She fit another arrow onto the string and sent it flying again. Instead of landing in another area of the bull's eye, instead it split the first arrow right in half.
"How did you do that?"
Anna smiled "my mom taught me."
The healer smiled, of course Astrid would teach her daughter something like this.
"Come little one let's go check on your sister." Anna put the bow down and waved to Snotlout before trotting off back to the smithy.
When they entered Gobber's hut they gasped at the sight. Lucas fast asleep in a chair and Gobber in the back hammering away at a piece of metal.
"Little lass fell asleep a few minutes ago, but she made this." Gobber limped over to another table and picked something up. He held it up to the two women and they gaze at the tiny ring. "Look what she engraved inside."
Anna took the ring and peered inside and saw a beautiful dragon engraved on the inside. She wasn't sure, but she was sure it was of Toothless and Arrow. She gasped.
This was an exact copy of their parent's wedding ring.
"Said she made it for you." He said.
Anna smiled before slipping on her ring. "Thank you Gobber for letting my sister help."
Gobber smiled "it was like having me old apprentice with me again." He sighed, "How I miss that boy…"
Anna frowned sadly, knowing fully well he was talking about her father. She nodded and stood next to her brother. "All right miss blacksmith let's go." She put her arms under him and lifted him up bridal style. She expected him to be super heavy but shockingly he was pretty light.
'Well it's not like he and dad ever eat anything at dinner.'
Lucas shifted in his sisters arms but remained asleep. She smiled before thanking Gobber again and walking back to Anna's hut. They walked in and Anna lit a candle.
Anna placed her brother down on his bed and began to sing a lullaby their mom used to sing to them.
"You are still awake and it's half past your bedtime
The sandman had a date he didn't keep.
But when the dragons commence,
to fly across the fence,
I'll count them all until you fall asleep...
The first little nadder flew over the fence,
and was off to the land of nod.
The second and third were close behind,
like three little peas in a pod.
The fourth little Gronkle was too chubby to fly,
he crawled under instead.
The fifth little nightmare wasn't there at all,
he must have stayed home in bed.
Number six jumped around as confused as could be,
he didn't know where he had been.
He flew over that's true, but before he was through,
he flew over, flew back, and flew over again.
The next little terror, was the littlest dragon,
too little for such a big flight.
Though he tried like a scout,
he soon tuckered out,
and the littlest terror was asleep.
The littlest dragon is asleep."
She kissed her brothers forehead and smiled. "Goodnight little brother."
