Chapter 13
The Unexpected Reunion
It had been a very tiring day for her today.
She saved a family of Deadly Nadders from getting caught by those dragon trapper bastards, a giant Timberjack from again getting caught by the dragon trappers and finally, she had to fly with three miles in radius within the nest she currently lived in, in order to keep away from those dragon trappers; again.
She just landed on the ground and was about to take off her armor but suddenly a Hobblegrunt flew in toward her in such a rush. She doesn't know why the dragon came in such a rush, but the dragon came in such a rush, and excitement.
She recognized the Hobblegrunt. It was a Hobblegrunt from the nest where the king of all dragons lived, an hour away from the dragon nest she lived in.
The Hobblegrunt came in and wiped down to the dragon nest. The Hobblegrunt jumped around her in excitement and tugging her cape. She asked the dragon on why he acted like it but it kept tugging her cape. She had no choice but to hop onto her dragon and made a beeline to the dragon king's nest.
She had lived separately from the dragon king. She built her own nest using the dragon she had saved from the pass twenty years. At first, her nest was just a small cave but as the number of dragons grew, her nest also grew.
Her loyal companion was a dragon who was under the servant of the dragon king but since he was loyal to her, he stood by her side twenty-four/seven. For twenty years she had lived with dragons she had learned about them, studied them and even flew with them.
Every dragon she saved adored her because of her kind heart. Since at a very young age, she believed that dragons are kind creature that needed to treat with respect and can lived co-exist with Vikings.
She had proven to be correct on the first part. They say that dragons will eat you once they take you to the nest but she had been living among dragons for twenty years and still kept on living. She always knew that dragons were gentle and kind creature.
Unfortunately she was unable to do the latter part. She remembered her time back at her village. Oh, how she had missed her home. Even after twenty years she had been away from her village, she still missed it.
But the nest she had built was now her home and she preferred this one than the one before. Since she now knew that dragons were gentle and kind, she couldn't bare to watch them to be killed for no reason. So she accepted the fate to leave her village, partially.
The only thing that she regretted on leaving her village was her son. Even after twenty years, she could still remember how her son's eyes shone in a very intense bright emerald green.
She still remembered the feelings she felt when she stared into his eyes. She felt she was in the beautiful forest with waterfall running nearby as birds happily chirped above her. It was one of her best experience she ever felt.
She missed her son terribly.
There was that madman and his dragon trappers.
She heard rumors that he was building a dragon army, which was why she was been saving dragons from their traps in order to stop the building. But she along cannot stop all of them from capturing the dragons.
Then, she heard the rumor of a person who was called Prince of Dragons.
She scowled under her helmet. Rumors said that the person always had five dragons willingly following him, acting as his bodyguards. This 'Prince of Dragon' even said that the dragons wouldn't leave him because they were loyal to him and will protect with their lives.
She doesn't believe that rumor at all. She believed that those dragons were corrupted and forced and tortured to protect him under his control. She never believed that dragons and Vikings will live in co-existence. Only she was able to live with dragons peacefully.
She was so lost in thought that she doesn't even realized that she just arrived at the nest. She only came back to the world when her companion she rode on shook his shoulders, signaling her that they just landed.
Once her feet touched the ground, she was very confused. Usually, when she arrived dragons would greet her but the place she landed was empty. No dragon was there except for her loyal companion.
Feeling wary, she kept on her armor and stood in a battle stance as she raised her staff. Her companion mirrored her movement as they began to look around for anything suspicious. So far the only thing that was suspicious was the lack of presence of dragons.
She paled, thinking that the trappers had succeeded on capturing the dragons here. But she still kept in a low profile in case if any of they were still there.
She went deeper into the nest and this time, she sighed in relief as there were more dragons there. She stood straight and began to walk to where the dragon king always napped. But she stopped dead in her track of what she saw.
Sitting on the cliff, with their legs dangling and their backs were facing her were two persons. One was a guy while the other was a girl. The girl was resting her head on the boy's shoulder – while her hand was busy groping his ass, somehow – as they stared into the distance.
Panic ran through her vein, she feared that the pair would jump and slay the dragons around them. But they looked calmed and were aware that dragons were around them. The dragons were too aware of the pair.
Still feeling wary about the pair, she crouched down as she very slowly approached them. But her loyal companion already ahead of her. She froze as her dragon sniffed the boy's hair.
"Hmm, what the…" the boy muttered as turned towards her dragon. "Well, hello there," the boy cheerfully greeted as he stood up, making the girl looked up in confusion.
She couldn't see the boy's eyes since his familiar auburn hair blocked them from her view. Also, he wasn't facing her since he was facing her dragon instead. She gripped her staff when she saw the boy stood up, preparing to strike when he made a wrong move.
Her dragon kept tilting his head from side to side, as if he was trying to figure out something. Suddenly, his eyes widened before he took a step back, and slowly bowed, making his rider gasped in shock. The boy held out his hand and her companion placed his snout gracefully into his hand, making her beyond shock.
"Who might you be, you giant four-winged dragon?" the boy asked softly as he affectionately rubbed the dragon's snout. The dragon rumbled his throat in response. "Cloudjumper; what a nice name," the boy commented, making the rider of the said dragon gasped again.
"H… How…?" she whispered behind her mask but amazingly it managed to grab the boy's attention. She gasped yet again but this time the shock she received was beyond reality.
The eyes of the boy were slit like a dragon and the color was a familiar emerald green forest eyes. They were glowing bright.
But that wasn't the reason she was shock.
She was shocked because of the feelings she felt when she stared into those glowing green slit eyes; it was very familiar but much more. She was in a beautiful forest, a lot more beautiful one this time. Butterflies beautifully flapped around her as the flowers at her feet gave out sweet scents. The waterfall ran right beside her, sending sprays of water that made her view glittered beautifully.
She blinked, making the beautiful forest disappeared and bringing her back to reality. The boy still stood there with his eyes on her.
There was only one person who would make her felt those feelings.
"H…" she very hesitantly whispered. "Hiccup?" she muttered, making the boy before her looked at her with confusion. She took off her helmet as she looked at the boy. "Could it be?"
"Sh… Should I know you?" the boy hesitantly asked as the girl beside him stood up and looked at her with confusion.
"No," she replied, feeling a little disappointed as she looked away. "You were only a babe," her green eyes locked with his slit green eyes. "But a mother never forgets," she stated.
The boy narrowed his eyes before they widened as the pupils dilated and he gasped loudly.
"M… Mom?" Hiccup whispered as Astrid was stunted while Valka looked hopeful.
