GaleBreaker's POV:
I woke up the next day still on the tree branch, I have been told that when I sleep I'm basically a stone. I sat up and stretched my achy arms, maybe I'll hitch a ride on Night today, I don't think I can go through another full day of flying, and to think, I couldn't wait to get in the air again a few days ago.
I slid out of the tree and lightly landed on the grassy ground, I wiped my hands and inspected the area around me.
I found Hiccup and Astrid laying on the ground, back to back, they were next to the burnt out fire pit. The next thing I noticed is that Night and the Nadder were watching the two humans as they slept, I left them alone and went to get some more fire wood, so it can be warm until we leave.
'Gale, the distress signal got stronger last night.' Night said as I returned with a few logs, 'I think the dragon trappers are back!'
'Dragon trappers?' I warbled as I dropped the logs onto the ashes, 'We haven't had them in nearly six months!'
'Exactly!' He growled, 'Maybe they were just preparing for a full blown attack, because they usually only send, like three ships a time, maybe this times more!'
I took his statement into consideration and sat down next to the sleeping Vikings, I indicated for him to light the fire, which he did.
'If you're right, we need to get home soon!'
"Gale! Why are you up already?" Astrid exclaimed as she woke up, she accidentally elbowed Hiccup in the progress and made him wake with a start.
"I can never sleep properly when I know something bad's going to happen." I said while picking at some of the grass around me, "The distress signal got stronger according to Night."
"What distress signal?" Hiccup asked as he sat up.
"Did I forget to explain everything?"
They both nodded.
'Why do I keep forgetting stuff?' I shook my head, "Back home we have this signal we send out when we need everyone who come from the island to come home, I heard it yesterday in the ring and it apparently got stronger last night."
"So whats happening?" Astrid said as she began to prepare herself for another long flight, Hiccup also got up and began warming himself near the slowly dying fire.
"We don't know, Night thinks it's the dragon trappers, it probably is, we don't get many other attackers."
"Then we should get there soon!" Hiccup agreed as he mounted Night and got his foot in the peddle.
"Could I hitch a ride with one of you, my arms hurt from yesterday, I've never had to fly so much in my life!"
"You can ride with me." Astrid offered, "Then if we get split up we can still get there, I'm guessing Night knows the way."
"Good idea!" I uttered as I climbed up the side of the Nadder.
Night-Flyer's POV:
We shot off back into the sky just as the distress signal got worse, the thing happening back home must be completely out of control, I wonder if the Snow and Ice Furies are coming to help, they usually keep to themselves in the far north but Fury Island is still their home too. They descended from the same Furies as we did, every type of Fury, be it Night, Forest or Ice have descended from a Fury, not the same one, but one.
'Night! I've been thinking, what if something's happened to Storm-Racer!' Gale hurrred over to me, she was holding on to the Nadder quite tightly as their flight could be quite bumpy.
'Lets not think about that, we just have to focus on getting home, I can't wait to sleep in my own cave!'
''Yeah, I can't wait to be able to wear something other than this over sized tunic.'
'It was your choice on what you wanted to wear before we left!'
'Yeah and I didn't know I was gonna have to wear it for nearly two months straight!'
"Your conversation has began to get very loud you know!" The Girl Viking, Astrid was it, said as she became visibly annoyed, "What are you even talking about?"
"Family stuff…." Gale trailed, I let out a snort of laughter, 'Shut up!'
'Legless'
'Toothless!'
'At least mine grow back!'
'SHUT UP!' She growled, quite loudly, 'What would you prefer, your life or my leg?'
It was quiet for a few wing beats, 'I'm sorry, Gale'
'Lets just focus on protecting the Island, not killing each other.'
Hiccup's POV:
As Gale's and Toothless' conversation quickly turned into a loud, angry (Mostly Gale) exchange, the air started to get thicker. Gale suddenly let out a growl so loud it vibrated down my spine, they were both silent for a minute before Toothless let out a quiet whine, what had he said, or done…?
"How long do you think we have left?" I asked, I was getting bored, flying is usually fun but the last couple of days have made me feel a bit on edge, what if the island doesn't care about Gale's warning, what if they still come looking!
"Not long now, we're passing the small channel from the Barbaric Archipelago into the Arctic waters." Gale called over.
"How'd you know that?" I called back.
"Look down, the water is a clearer, darker blue than it was around Berk."
I looked down and true to her words, the sea was a nicer shade of blue, I sat there admiring the sea and spotted a figure moving around under the water, it was moving as fast as Toothless and almost looked like him, if it wasn't for the different movements I could have sworn it was just a reflection.
"Sea Fury!" I heard Gale say as she too spotted the figure, "This means we're not the only ones a bit behind, either that or it's a fishing trip."
The figure began surfacing and you began to be able to make the subtle differences between the Night Fury and the Sea Fury, such as their features were a lot more pointed and their scales looked more of a fish. It jumped out of the water and was almost instantly flying, almost beside us.
Gale and Toothless were intently gazing at the new dragon, but he seemed to not even notice us, that was until he lead out a gurgle that they both seemed to understand, Gale was the one who replied. The Sea Fury seemed quite interested in whatever she said, the dark blue eyes of the creature glanced at me and Astrid and the immediate confusion was notable on his face, Toothless let out a low grumble and the Sea Fury seemed to instantly understand.
"This is Surface-Skimmer, he's from one of the salt water colonies." Gale explained, "This is his first time coming to the main Island alone."
"What did you say to him?" Astrid asked, barely even moving her head.
"He asked which clan me and Night were from, so I answered, the Fury clan is one of the best known clans, they're also the smallest." She said with a hint of pride in her voice, "He also asked why I was traveling with Vikings, but Night answered that one."
We gracefully flew across the cold Arctic ocean until we began to see a small shadow in the Horizon.
It's finally up! Sorry for the, late upload I had some technical difficulties concerning my WiFi, anyway I got this one up and I can start writing the next chapter :D
