I feel like this isn't even a story anymore, it's just them talking.
And yes, no Merricup or Jackunzel. I had already started the story with Flynn and Astrid, and it wouldn't of felt write to me by pairing others together. At least, not in this story.
So, BAM! Siblings.

Hiccup
Nothing made any sense. Flynn's answers only brought more questions. What happened with the wind? Where was Toothless? What did he mean by training? And why in the world did Flynn think they were siblings?
Flynn was leading them to who knows where, with Merida and Rapunzel in the middle, and himself and Jack in the back. Looking at the other three, he did feel a surge of brotherly love, like with Toothless, but that didn't make sense. Though it seemed like an eternity had passed, it had only been a single day since they met. Right?
"Hey Flynn?"
"Yes?"
"What's the date?"
"June twenty second."
"So, we were in there for a day and half."
Rapunzel nodded, but Jack and Merida looked confused.
"It was late afternoon for me when I was taken." Merida said.
"Around there, yeah." Jack agreed.
I sighed. "Add that to the list of confusion."'
"We're here." Flynn interrupted.
We stopped. I looked around, spotting a bunch of trees and dirt. It wasn't the best place for camp. In fact, if we started a fire, we'd have one a little bigger than preferred.
Merida seemed to be thinking the same thing, because she said, "What, you want us to burn down the forest?"
Flynn smirked and shoved his sword into the ground. I expected light like last time, so I shielded my eyes, but all that came was a faint glow. Then we were slowly going down. I looked down to see we were standing on a square stone tablet that must have been camouflaged in the forest floor. It seemed to be divided into four sections with a circle in the center. Each section had a symbol. A leaf, snowflake, sun, and a flower. The center circle had a crown.
Flynn gestured at the tablet. "The symbols of the four royals of the seasons. Fiola, Queen of Spring. Ninad, King of Winter. Beval, King of Autumn. Akemi, Queen of Summer. All siblings, all very close. They brought about the seasons and kept everything in the balance. And when evil threatened that balance, they all gave their lives to keep it."
"However, their spirits were so strong that every one thousand years, when the evil returns, they would return too, in worthy hosts, and rule the seasons again. The hosts must learn to use their skills. It is foretold." He turned to look at us. "And it is happening again."
He was kidding. Definitely. Either that, or this guy is mentally insane.
Merida spoke first. "You think we are some kind of royal witches?" She shook her head in disbelief.
"You can't tell me you don't believe in magic, Merida. You turned your Mom into a bear."
Huh? "You did what?" I asked.
She wrinkled her nose. "It was an accident! Can't this stupid slab of stone move any faster!" She yelled, jumping up and down.
Jack snorted, I face palmed, Rapunzel giggled. How do you accidently turn your mom into a bear?
"So then, Flynn. What's your role in all this? Assuming it's true of course. If it's not, tell Astrid this is not funny." I ignored the others weird looks.
"I assure you, it's all true, Hiccup. As for me, before the four seasons left on their quest to stop evil, they each appointed a general of sorts to watch over their legacy and train those who undergo their spirit. The eldest child is trained for the job in the same way the original generals were. I am descended from one of those generals. When I pass, my son will take my place."
"When you said you were here to guide us, you meant one person?"
Flynn nodded. "Rapunzel, Queen of Spring."
"Excuse me?" Rapunzel shrieked, obviously not happy with arrangement.
Finally, the stone came to a stop. That took way too long. "Wouldn't there be a faster way down?" I asked.
Flynn nodded. "Usually we jump down the waterfall, but since we don't know your abilities, the stone was safer."
"I've come to a conclusion!" Jack announced as Flynn opened the door. "You're all psycho!"
Merida snorted. "It took you that long?"
"We'll see." Flynn motioned us out. "Welcome to camp."
I stepped out and stared. Compared to that stupid shaft (Lol) this place was a palace. We were on the second floor balcony, overlooking a humongous room where a hundred or so people were fighting. They seemed to be simply training. Everything was made out of stone, mud, and wood, so I felt right at home. There were different doors leading various directions.
Two men and a woman stood in front of us. One of the men had long grey hair and a beard. He was tossing a battle axe back and forth. The second man looked the youngest of the three, with black hair cut military style. He wielded a spear. The woman looked elegant and stern, with pure white hair pulled up into a tight bun on the top of her head, and a long dress that went down to her ankles and covered her hands. She didn't seem to have any weapon.
"Meet the other generals." He gestured to the man with grey hair. "Abraham of summer."
The younger one. "Wolfgang of winter."
Which meant the woman was my general. "Nadia of autumn."
The three bowed to us, before General Wolfgang swept forward, moving immediately to Jack. He walked around him, like he was analyzing the merchandise.
"A bit scrawny." He muttered. "Very unsanitary, no shoes."
Jack scowled. "I already don't like you."
"Apologies my king."
"I'm not a king."
General Nadia chuckled. "Feisty group, eh?"
I walked over to her and held out my hand. "Hiccup Haddock."
She shook it. "Nadia Anderson. I have a feeling we'll get along swimmingly."
"I hope so."
We turned to watch my supposed siblings. Rapunzel was glaring at Flynn, Jack was receiving a lecture on his diet from Wolfgang, and Abraham had taken Merida's bow and was refusing to give it back without Merida saying please.
"This is going to be fun." Nadia said.
I nodded. "You know… I'm actually starting to believe this nonsense might actually be true."
