"EVERYONE SETTLE DOWN" Stoick bellowed as he saw Hiccup come in and take his seat at the table.
The effect was immediate. No one made a sound. Stoick cleared his throat. "As you all must know by now, the Outcasts attempted to attack Berk." Stoick said looking at Hiccup who nodded in return.
" Luckily my son and Astrid were their to help take them down." The Vikings erupted into a cheer at this. Stoick quickly raised a hand up, signaling for them to be quiet.
" I have called this meeting so we can discuss what we're going to do about the Outcasts." Snotlout stood up quickly.
"That's easy" he said as he swung his fist making a jabbing motion "We mess them up so much they wouldn't even be able to hear the name Berk without cringing in fear".
Some of the Vikings nodded their head agreeing with him. Hiccup rolled his eyes . Leave it to his cousin to immediately jump to such extremes.
"I disagree" he stated calmly. All eyes turned towards Hiccup who now flushed a little bit.
"We can't just go the island and attack them. First, we need to find out what their up too. Then we can figure out what were going to do next."
Stoick nodded his head in agreement. "That's what we'll do. We'll send some riders over to see what the Outcasts are up to. He signaled that the meeting was over. He watched the Vikings file out before turning to Hiccup.
"How's Astrid" he said concerned for Astrid. After all he wanted grandkids someday.
Hiccup reassured his dad" Don't worry she's fine. She's back on her feet ready to go." Stoick sighed in relief.
"Did you find anything about Stormfly condition" Stoick inquired. Hiccup shook his head "Not yet dad. Astrid's looking around the cliff now to see if she can find anything" Stoick nodded.
"You better go find her see if she could go with you to scout out the Outcasts. Hiccup nodded in acknowledgement before he called for Toothless who bounded from one of the corners of the room.
"Let's go bud" he said as he patted Toothless. "See you later Dad" he said as he walked out of the Great Hall. Stoick watched them go. He reminded him so much of…her. He shook his head to clear such thoughts out of his mind before he went to go settle another dispute.
Stormfly was enjoying the feeling of the waves as they zoomed above the water. She did some turns and twists watching as her rider yelled in excitement. She stopped as soon as she saw the cliffside on the horizon.
She gently flapped her wings before landing on the cliff. Astrid jumped off of her and started to look around the place. Stormfly wanted to help too so she was sniffing around seeing if she could find something.
After an hour went by the too came up with nothing. "Seriously, nothing!" Astrid exclaimed frustrated.
She was stopped by a roar from Stormfly. Stormfly was pawing at something on the ground. Astrid ran over to her and was shocked at what she saw.
In green glowing letters on the ground was some symbols that she had never seen before.
"Come on, girl. We need to report this to somebody. I have a feeling it has something to do with you".
When Stormfly didn't respond she took a quick glance over at her. Stormfly was transfixed on the symbols not moving an inch. "Stormfly?"
