Author Note: HHHHHEEEEEYYYYY GGGGGUUUUUYYYYYSSSSS. I was still at school when I wrote this and I am really tired so I apologise for any grammatical mistakes, or failures in general. Anyways. Chapter 5 and posted really close to the last update… THE WORLD IS ENDING! Nahh I'm joking. Enjoy!

Stoick POV

'Back off.' His voice was low, husky kind of croaky, like he hasn't spoken Norse in a long time. It seemed alien to the human tongue, however it also sounded familiar.

'Remove your mask, then I'll think about it.' I raised my axe slightly higher. Waiting for his response. I watched as he turned his head and glance at the other rider. The other rider hissed at him and gave a low whine. He hesitated but turned back to me.

'If I do will you attack?' he asked in a cautious tone.

'Depends who you are.' He shifted a bit but lifted his hands to his head. Then the other interrupted. She almost ran forwards and yanked his hands down. She hissed, growled, whined and even gave miniature dragon roars. He responded in the same way. The two Nightfurys' bounded up and stood around them in a protective stance, their ears flicking towards the humans as they argued over something, probably removing the mask. Finally after minuets of them arguing he pushed her away and gave a reassuring croon. He hissed slightly but backed off, standing right by the body of the smaller Nightfury and lent slightly against it. The taller rider seemed to take a deep breath and once again lifted his hands to his mask. He lifted it off his face and propped it on the top of his head.

'Now. Back off.' We all moved a couple of steps back as he reached down for the hilt of a sword strapped to his leg. A couple of the people in the crowd snickered at the fact that he was going to try to defend himself with the metal hit of a sword. He just smirked and raise an eyebrow. The girl had also removed her mask and attached to the saddle on the larger dragon, before reaching for the males and doing the same. I noticed Astrid stepping forwards cautiously. She had her head lent forward slightly, she seemed confused. What she said next made us all freeze. It made my heart stop. Made every sound, even the dragons to stop. It made the two dragon riders look at her and stare.

'H-H-Hiccup?'
