I am not dead. I know it has been over a month but I warned you guys it would take a long time. But now I'm back with what I think is a long awaited chapter. Without further ado…

Enjoy.

Chapter 11: Sibling reunion

Barbaric Archipelago Sea, mid-afternoon, 266 ADF

Hiccup had been flying for a few hours now, and still he had found no trace of the Norn ship he was looking for. 'Where could they be? They can't be far away.' Hiccup thought. He kept looking in every direction as far as the horizon would let him. He had to find her at all costs, or he would have failed.

Then suddenly he saw something familiar heading his way. A perfect V-formation of dragons. His backup had finally arrived. Seven dragons closed in on his position, when they were close enough for Hiccup to see who they were he saw that they ware from the Draconian fourth legion.

"Commander!" The leader shouted. "What's going on sir? We thought you would still be at Berk."

"There has been a development, I made a mistake. I misjudged the supposed target of the coup d'état on Berk. I thought it would be the chief himself, but it was the heir who was targeted." Hiccup said to the sergeant. They were now flying side by side in the air.

"But sir, why are you here then?" The sergeant asked.

"Because she was abducted during a raid. I tried to catch up with the kidnappers but when I arrived she had already been sold to the Norn. And now I'm trying to find their ship. Speaking of ships, where is yours?" Hiccup asked.

"As you know we were send after you to provide cover if necessary. We were sent out to patrol, but our airship saw an unidentified ship earlier and went after it. This may be the ship you're looking for sir." The sergeant explained.

Hiccup felt a spark of hope. He knew Draconia would sent some reinforcements after him and now he was very glad he had them. "Then take me back to your ship sergeant, at once!" Hiccup ordered.

"SIR, YES SIR!" The troops from the scouting wing shouted.

They immediately banked to the west and lead Hiccup to their command ship. After several minutes of flying at high speeds they reached their destination. Two Bastion-class airships could be seen following a single Norn ship. On the side of the airship balloons one could clearly see the Draconian insignia that identified them as allies. They could also see a Norn ship sailing in the distance.

Hiccup and the scouting wing quickly landed inside the leading airship. The Bastion-class was a standard air-transport with a few side guns and a big hangar bay to accommodate all kinds of dragons and troops alike. They were however not equipped to transport the heavier ordinance or artillery, they were just used for troop transports. Hiccup dismounted Toothless and ran to the bridge as fast as he could. Hiccup knew Draconia had sent backup and from what he had seen he already knew who to expect. Once he reached the bridge the two troops guarding the door stepped aside and Hiccup almost flew through the door and came face to face with the commanding officer who (as expected) turned out to be a familiar face.

"Valentine!" Hiccup exclaimed.

"Hiccup? What the hell are you doing here? You should be on Berk." Valentine asked.

"We've had a development." Hiccup said whilst taking off his helmet. "I made a mistake." He said sadly and angered.

"Wow wow… what the hell happened Hic?" Valentine asked.

"Intelligence was right about the attempt at a coup d'état, but when I was investigating I misinterpreted the target. This morning there was a raid on the village and I thought they would go for the chief. But instead it turns out they went for his young daughter. And I didn't find out until it was too late and she was far away by then."

"Ah, and so now you're tracking her?" Valentine deduced.

"Exactly!" Hiccup said. He then strode forward towards the glass of the airship's bridge. "But during my chase I learned some interesting things. Most importantly where she is now…" Hiccup said while pointing at the single Norn ship sailing away.

"Dare I ask how the Norn got involved in this?" Valentine asked joining Hiccup at the window.

"I don't know that, but it doesn't matter now. They won't leave here alive." Hiccup growled. He was very angry at the moment. Venting his frustration on Dagur had done little to improve his mood.

"Agreed, so what do you want us to do?" Valentine asked, his eyes never leaving the Norn ship.

"We engage the ship, sent our riders at it, free the girl and when she's out destroy the ship." Hiccup stated, then he turned face with Valentine. "You stay here and command the fleet. Don't let the gunfire hit the ship directly until we're out! I'll lead the charge."

"Alright then Hiccup." Valentine said extending his arm which hiccup firmly grasped by the forearm. "Let's blow them to bits."

Both men grinned at this. The Norn on that ship were as good as dead.

(Meanwhile on the Norn ship)

Barbaric Archipelago Sea, mid-afternoon, 266 ADF

When she woke up her vision was all blurry, she could hear several gruff voices but she couldn't understand what they were saying. When she got her bearings and her vision cleared u she saw that she was in a small prison cell shackled to the wall. She also noticed that she was rocking up and down, like on a ship.

Now that Hicca had come to her senses she began to have a better idea of where she was and more importantly, how she got here. She remembered being in the forge at the beginning of the raid, helping distribute weapons. It was her job after all. Then suddenly someone broke in and before she knew what had happened everything went black. And now she's on a strange boat with even stranger people.

They looked like Vikings but they were all coated in a lot of furs and partial metal plating. They looked a bit like the size of her father, only rougher and slightly evil.

She then began listening in on their conversations as her hearing had finally cleared up.

"So why did we have to come to this little piece of dirt again?" a gruff voice asked.

"Didn't I already explain it a hundred times already? We need these Viking idiots to start a war with 'you know who'. So we make sure enough tribes are hostile to them so they work together to attack." A second voice explained.

"Ah yes, and then when they do Draconia will need to split its forces to counter the attack and fight on two fronts. And then we can take the empire." The first voice replied.

Now Hicca was confused. They were talking about the Draconian Empire no doubt. But Ryder never mentioned anything about a military much less a war. What the hell was going on?

"Yes finally! And that is why the girl needs to disappear. Without her the balance will shift in our favour. And when the empire falls this archipelago will stand no chance against the Norn horde with superior Draconian weapons!" The second voice cheered.

"But what are we going to do whit the girl?" The first voice asked.

Hicca's breath hitched in her throat. What about her?

"Bah, just sell her again in the homeland. All that matters is that she's gone, I'm sure someone will find a use for her…

Now Hicca was beyond scared, she just heard she was to be sold in a faraway land into slavery, or worse….

Then, outside the ship in the distance she could hear several bangs. Like explosions going off, seconds later she heard a whistling sound. Like something coming at them at high speed.

Suddenly the ship got rocked by several explosions, the next moment her captors were screaming and chaos was total.

"WHAT THE… THEY'RE HERE!" One of the Norn screeched.

"TO ARMS!" Another ordered.

The boat shook and trembled with more explosions and now Hicca could also hear several dragon-like roars all around her.

'What in the name of Thor is happening?' She thought in a panic.

Barbaric Archipelago Sea, mid-afternoon, 266 ADF

Hiccup had told Valentine to open fire on the Norn ship once he and the other riders had launched from the hangar bay. He and about a dozen other riders were now flying towards the Norn ship while the Draconian gunfire rained down.

"Alright guys! You all know what to do. Distract them for long enough so I can get the hostage out!" He ordered to the rest of the riders.

They then all dove down, dragons roaring as loud as they could. Hiccup took charge and dive-bombed on his first pass taking out some of the weapons mounted on the deck, he then shot back up as the other riders began following his example and strafed or dive-bombed the ship. Some of them even jumped off and engaged the Norn by themselves while their dragons watched their backs and fought alongside them.

This was exactly what Hiccup was planning to do as well. "Toothless, I need you to keep circling the ship and assist the troops until I come back. Then I need you to pick us up as soon as possible. Okay?" Hiccup asked Toothless.

Toothless nodded to his best friend. "I've got your back."

The duo then came in for another pass, Hiccup went into a standing position as if he was surfing Toothless and waited for the right moment to jump. When Toothless made a low pass right next to the ship Hiccup jumped and incidentally landed right on top of a Norn berserker, who was quickly dealt with by his wrist blades. Rising up he drew his sword and made his way through any Norn in his path…that was still alive.

Hicca heard fighting sound from the confinements of her prison cell, she desperately wanted to know what was going on. She had heard her captors scream many things, from the obvious DRAGONS! To Draconians and a lot more things. Right now she was scared for what might happen because she realised that if these Norn were so scared of Draconians…should she be too?

She remembered everything Ryder had told about his homeland but he never mentioned anything like this. Then she heard several shouts coming from outside the door of the room the cells were in. There was stumbling and slashing sounds with the occasional pained shout, then the door blew out of its hinges and came sailing across the room with a very dead Norn guard on top of it. But what entered next scared her maybe even more.

In the doorway now stood a tall man in a strange green-brown armour with a lot of attachments and markings. She noticed a familiar symbol on the shoulder-guards. The Draconian insignia.

The man surveyed the room seemingly looking for something. Hicca took this chance to look at him more closely. The armour the man wore was exotic to say the least. Heavy steel and leather boots reaching to just below his knees and armour patches covered the knees while the rest of his legs were covered with a brown material. The man had utility belt containing various tools and weapons. Throwing knives, daggers, something that looked like crossbow bolts, several pouches and cylindrical boxes. He also had a weird looking skirt hanging from the back of his legs.

The man's chest was covered by some sort of chestplate made of an unknown material protecting his front and back. On his shoulders and arm were shoulder guards with the Draconian emblem, upper arm protection and elbow guards. All made from the unknown material and painted in some sort of camouflage pattern. Then there was his helmet.

The helmet was simply put, terrifying. It looked like some sort of brown-green metal and leather helmet that covered his entire head and face. There was some sort of filter where his mouth should be, a rim above the eyes and a green tinted glass visor underneath the rim. Simply put this man looked dangerous. And that sword he carried looked dangerously sharp.

'Wait, that sword… I know that sword.' Hicca thought. 'That's the sword Ryder carries…'

Just then Hiccup had spotted Hicca in the cell chained to the wall. "Hicca! There you are." He said relieved and made a beeline for the prison.

"Ryder? Is that you?" Hicca asked.

"Yes, it's me. Hang on I'm going to get you out." Hiccup said.

Hiccup took a step back from the cell door and took a deep breath. Then he kicked the lock with as much force as he could, shattering it like glass and swinging the door open.

Hicca sat there wide eyed at the sheer display of power. "Wow…" She breathed.

Hiccup stopped for a second because of the look on her face, he looked back and then down at his boots. "Gronkle iron plating on most of the boot. No big deal." Hiccup said nonchalantly.

"Uh huh…" Hicca just nodded having no idea what he meant.

"Let's get these shackles off. Extend your hands please." Hiccup said.

Hicca did as she was asked. Hiccup then took a small knife from his belt and proceeded to pick the lock on the shackles since it was too dangerous to just break them off.

When her restraints were removed Hicca backed away from Hiccup and looked him dead in the eyes. Or at least where she thought his eyes were since that freakish helmet covered his entire head.

"Okay, now I've had enough of this weirdness. What in Thor's name is going on here and what are you wearing? I thought you were just a traveller!" Hicca ranted.

"Wow, slow down Hicca. Look I know this is a lot to take in and I can't explain right now because we need to get of this boat as fast as possible. But I promise I will tell you everything soon, I owe you that much. For now you'll have to trust me." Hiccup said while looking towards the open door and listening to the screaming and explosions happening in the background.

Hicca bit her lip but decided it was best to trust him for now. "Alright, let's go…"

Hiccup nodded and both of them swiftly made an exit out of the room, dashing through the corridors of the Norn ship while dodging the dead bodies left behind by hiccup. Suddenly another live Norn guard came around the corner. Thinking fast Hiccup jumped forward and delivered a spinning slash at the guard's throat before he knew what happened. Hiccup and Hicca kept running while the guard fell down choking. Hicca glanced back for just a moment, she now began to understand how dangerous Ryder actually could be.

Once they reached the stairway leading to the deck Hiccup stopped running and turned to Hicca. Confused she stopped running as well and looked at Hiccup.

He laid a hand on her shoulder and spoke. "Hicca, when we're on the deck I'm going to ask you to do something Viking culture will literally see as heresy, but I need you to trust me and do exactly as I say if we want to get out of here. Understood?"

Hicca just nodded, right now she just wanted answers and she figured that doing what he says will get her just that.

Well, was she shocked when they arrived on the deck.

Everywhere she looked she could see dragons flying around and engaging the Norn forces. Many had riders, some hadn't but all did have some sort of saddle. Around the deck were more Norn and what she thought were Draconians. Though they looked different then Ryder did. The armour looked to be made of the same materials but the others was more white with a yellow decal, the helmet was different too. Instead of Ryder's brown green helmet theirs was white and yellow without the rim above what seemed to be the visor. The mouthpiece was different too with two filter like things on either side of the chin. And the eyes seemed to be a black T-shaped visor. Again they all looked intimidating.

An explosion on the side of the ship got her attention next. She saw a faint smoke trail leading into the sky and several more projectiles raining down. When she looked up for the source of the projectiles she nearly fainted. Up in the sky were two flying boats shooting those explosives at the boat she was on. What drew her attention even more was the Draconian emblem on the side. Okay now she really wanted answers.

Hiccup had quickly been dealing with two stray Norn guards who were in his way. Then he let out the signature call of his best friend.

Hicca heard the distinct sound of a night-fury and turned around only to see one hovering over Ryder and landing in front of them. Her eyes were as wide as dinner plates, she was mere meters away from the most dangerous dragon known to Vikings.

Hiccup then jumped on Toothless' back and motioned for Hicca to get on.

"Come on! Hop on!" He shouted to her.

Hicca just stood there rooted to the ground. She was officially done with this, everything she was ever told about the world and the laws of nature were just thrown out of the window in a matter of minutes. "ARE YOU INSANE?!" She cried out.

Hiccup honestly could have expected such a reaction, she was raised by Vikings after all. "No Hicca, I'm not. Dragons aren't what you think they are, I can show you. But you have to trust me." Hiccup said extending his hand as an invitation. Toothless also motioned with his head to get on so they could leave.

Hicca knew she didn't have much of a choice and she also knew that this boat was going down no matter what. So she complied with his less than subtle order and got on Toothless' saddle in front of Hiccup.

Once she was safely in place Toothless wasted no time and shot up with a powerful beat of his wings. Hicca screamed and forced her eyes closed. Everywhere on the Norn ship the Draconians evacuated as fast as they could. Their respective dragons scooped them up or they just jumped overboard.

Meanwhile Toothless had reached a safe altitude and stabilised his flight in an easy glide. Hiccup relaxed in the saddle and tapped Hicca on the shoulder.

"Hicca, open your eyes…" Hiccup said.

Hicca just violently shook her head and remained squeezing the saddle in a death grip. Hiccup in response laid a hand on her shoulder to calm her down.

"It's alright, I've got you. You won't fall." Hiccup encouraged.

Hicca hesitantly opened her eyes and was stunned by the view. They were gliding high above the sea and more riders were flying alongside them. It was a sight to behold.

'So this is what it is to fly?' She thought.

(On the airship's bridge)

Valentine lowered his binoculars, he had just seen Hiccup and the rest of the riders evacuate. Now it was his turn.

"They're out! All batteries fire at will! Destroy that boat!" He ordered.

His command was heeded and only twenty seconds later every gun on both airships were spewing out a continuous stream of artillery fire. Raining death down on their mortal enemies.

Hicca's attention was drawn by the loud bangs coming from the Draconian airships. She saw multiple projectiles flying down at the Norn boat. Making it go up in a massive explosion.

The pair then flew into the back hangar of the leading airship, leaving the battlefield behind. Inside the hangar it was like a beehive of activity, people were rushing everywhere as more dragons and their riders touched down. Some of the riders and dragons needing medical attention were treated and others were checked up just to be safe. Hicca was so transfixed with the sight that she didn't realise Hiccup had already dismounted Toothless and was grabbing something from the side.

She only realised when he was standing in front of her. That moment she just jumped of Toothless and hid behind Hiccup, still mildly afraid of the sleek black dragon.

"He's not going to hurt you Hicca. None of them are." Hiccup chuckled and pointed to the other dragons in the hangar. Some were watching her with mild curiosity.

Toothless just sat there like a dog with big dilated eyes and watched the young girl as she hid behind his best friend. She looked very familiar for some reason.

"He…He's not?" Hicca asked weakly.

Hiccup turned around to face her and put the blanket around her shoulders. Seeing that she was getting cold as the adrenaline wore off. "No Hicca, he's very friendly in fact. But I believe it is best if we first talk for a moment, to clear some things up." Hiccup said.

Hicca nodded at this. She was desperate for some answers. Hiccup then took her and lead them out of the hangar and through the corridors of the ship. Occasionally encountering other Draconians but to Hicca's surprise they stepped out of the way and even saluted to them when they passed. Hiccup then led them in a room with a few bunks and chairs. Hicca sat down on one of the bunks while Hiccup took one of the chairs and sat down with his arms leaning on the back rest.

"Alright, I know you may have a lot of questions so what do you want to know?" Hiccup asked on a gentle tone, still wearing his helmet.

"Who the hell are you people? I mean who are you really?" Hicca asked sceptically.

Hiccup signed knowing that she indirectly had called him a liar. "When I was on Berk I didn't tell the full truth about Draconia. The truth is that our nation has been fighting a war for the past 90 years with the very people that had you imprisoned. What you just saw was the Draconian Imperial military, the main fighting force opposing the Norn. I am a part of them as well." He explained.

"So you weren't just a traveller on berk, were you?" Hicca asked.

"No, I was sent to Berk for a reason. We had learned that some were plotting to overthrow your father from the throne of Berk, and for the sake of political stability in the Barbaric Archipelago I was sent to prevent that from happening. Only I made the mistake of misjudging the intended target." Hiccup said regretfully.

"What do you mean?" Hicca asked.

"I thought they would go straight for your father and take him out to grab power. I realised too late that should have been protecting you." Hiccup explained.

Hicca nodded in understanding and proceeded with her next question. "And who are you really?"

Hiccup was about to answer that question when suddenly there was a knock on the door. He motioned for Hicca to wait a second and turned to the door.

"Who is it?" He asked.

"It's Valentine." Was heard outside of the door.

"Oh, come in then." Hiccup answered.

A moment later a tall man with black buzz cut hair wearing the white and yellow coloured armour stepped in. He had his helmet hanging by his belt and his armour looked more or less in the same category as Ryder's. Complete with the strange skirt. What was different however was the big orange coloured metal plates over his right shoulder.

Valentine looked up at the two. "Hey I just came to check if our guest was all…." But he stopped mid-sentence and began looking at Hiccup then at Hicca then back at Hiccup and so on.

Hicca giggled slightly at Valentine's antics. His behaviour and his expression did look a bit ridiculous.

"What's the matter Valentine? Is something wrong?" Hiccup asked.

"Yeah dude, do you realise how much you two look alike?" Valentine said.

Hiccup and Hicca snapped their heads at each other. They really didn't expect that to come out of Valentine.

Hiccup looked closer to Hicca and carefully analysed her. Then his head rose a little in realisation. "You're right, we do!" Hiccup said surprised. "I'm surprised I never noticed.

"Uh what is going on?" Hicca asked confused because she had never seen Hiccup's face.

"Mate, take off your helmet." Valentine said with his arm crossed.

Hiccup did as he was told and unlocked his helmet. He then placed both hands on the sides and lifted the helmet of his head.

Hicca's eyes grew wider than anyone could think possible. Before her sat an auburn haired young man who looked almost exactly like her, same hair, face and most importantly the same emerald green eyes.

"H…How is that possible." Hicca asked. Hiccup just remained silent, he really didn't know what to say.

Then Valentine jumped in, he knew Hiccup's story and how he came to Draconia. "I'm sorry, miss can I ask you a question?" Hicca nodded. "Did you by any chance have a lost brother or maybe cousin by any chance?"

Hiccup's eyes widened, he had understood what Valentine was asking. He may have just found his long lost family.

"Huh, yeah I do actually. A brother but how would you know that?" Hicca asked.

"What would his name be?" Valentine continued.

"Hiccup would be his name." Hicca said. Hiccup gasped, this could not be happening. "I was named after him. As a memory, because I looked so much like him."

Valentine looked at a stunned Hiccup. It really was true.

"Well Hicca then I think you should look another time at the man in front of you." Valentine said with a smile.

Hicca looked back in front of her and saw the man she knew as Ryder with wide eyes. Then it dawned on her. "Wait… are you…"

"My name, my true name… is Hiccup, or at least that is what we think it is." Hiccup said. He then took the small chain around his neck and lifted it out of his armour. On it was a small pendant of the Draconian insignia and… a small bracelet. He then took the chain off and put it in Hicca's hand. "That chain was the only thing I had on me when I was found. They thought the engraving represented my name."

Hicca looked at the bracelet which was no bigger than a small babies' wrist. Engraved on it were the words Hiccup H. H. III.

She looked at it with tears in her eyes and reached for her own necklace which held the very same bracelet she wore as a baby. With almost the exact same engravings, Hicca H. H. IV.

Right now she was shaking with the revelation. Her brother was alive. "But…this means that…" She stuttered while looking up at Hiccup who by this point had stood up and had walked in front of her with the same look of revelation and brotherly love in his eyes.

"I'm your brother…" He finished for her.

Hicca couldn't take it anymore and she flung herself around her long lost brother's shoulders, crying of happiness. Hiccup gladly returned the hug and held her as if he never wanted to let go of her ever again.

"Thank you…ThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyou…" Hicca kept repeating. She thanked every god in existence that her brother was still alive.

"I never thought this day might come. The day I found my family again." Hiccup said while still holding her very tight. Then an idea formed in his head. "Valentine, set course for the capitol. Full speed." He ordered.

"Will be done sir." Valentine answered and with that left the room and sped to the bridge. Several moments later the two siblings could feel the ship changing course and hear the engines speeding up. They were on their way.

Hiccup and Hicca eventually released each other from their death-grips and sat down on the bunk.

"I have so many questions…" Hicca said.

"And I will answer them all." Hiccup replied with a smile.

Hiccup then began telling the entire story from his youth to this moment. The true story.

Hicca listened intently when he told his life story. From his earliest memories in the palace from which she was astounded to learn that he was actually raised by the imperial royal family. To his meeting with Toothless at age five, his adventures around the city with Valentine, his years in the workshops just like she worked in the forge under Gobber. The things he made and the experiences in a foreign nation. All down to the moment when he was old enough to enlist in the military.

Since he had then known Toothless for years already he was trained as a dragon rider and a soldier. He told her he eventually was placed in the third legion and fought many battles in his time. The one which interested her the most was the battle with the Red Death, she now understood why the raids had ended. The Draconians had actually liberated them from the raids, and no-one even knew. Hiccup explained that they took her out because the raids began targeting Draconian trade routes and this was a no-go during they tracked down the nest and solved the problem.

After that he told her how he eventually ranked up and became the legion's current commander, giving him an even higher status in the imperial ranks. He told everything up to the point he was sent to Berk.

"And the rest as you would say is history." Hiccup finished.

"Wow…just wow. You've done a lot in your life. I wish my life was so interesting." Hicca said dejected.

"If you're talking about your treatment on Berk don't worry. I'll make sure that it changes." Hiccup said with a slightly dark look in his eyes.

"But I still wonder, who would want to overthrow dad?" Hicca asked.

Hiccup frowned and reached for a cylinder on his belt. "I know who would, and you're not going to like this." He said. He then opened the cylinder and took out several papers. "I recovered these documents from Outcast Island when I was looking for you. They contain some sensitive information…"

He gave the documents to his sister who read them thoroughly. She almost couldn't believe her eyes when she saw who wrote and signed the letters and what was in them. "I can't believe it. I know Spitelout had always been a little envious about dad but hiring the Outcasts and the Berserkers ta attack Berk and kidnap me so he could take power?! I never would have guessed." Hicca said very surprised.

"I understand this can't be easy, betrayed by your own uncle of all people. Huh, and it seems he's my uncle as well. I'm not going to hate him less though." Hiccup said while taking the documents and putting them back in the cylinder.

"Well, you are right about that." Hicca answered.

"We'll fix this mess. But first, how about we go make some friends with the crew?" Hiccup asked.

"You mean I can go talk to them? But what if they don't like me? I'm not one of them." Hicca said worried.

"That has never stopped me. Don't worry they'll love you!" Hiccup encouraged.

"O…okay." Hicca said.

The two siblings then left and made their way towards the Hangar. To meet a certain Nightfury and meet some other Draconians.

(Several days later)

Northern Draconian sea, afternoon, 266 ADF

Hicca was hanging around with some of the soldiers of the fourth legion whom she learned were commanded by Hiccup's friend Valentine. In the few days she was here she had made good friends with them and their scaly fire breathing companions. Dragons weren't all that bad actually, they were just misunderstood. Take Toothless for example, the lizard was more of a giant cat then a murderous beast, and so were the others. Hiccup was right, it didn't matter she was a Viking, everyone was friendly towards her. She even got some offers for a flight. She oddly felt at home.

Hiccup and Valentine were at the edge of the Hangar watching. Hiccup with a wide smile on his face.

"She seems to like it here Hiccup." Valentine said. "Almost like she's one of us."

"Hmm… in my book she is one of us Valentine." Hiccup answered.

"Happy you found her?" Valentine asked.

"Very! I'm almost glad I made that mistake. Otherwise I might never have known. And now she's here, having the time of her life with the dragons." Hiccup said as he watched her playing tag with a Nadder.

"She could be one of us you know…" Valentine said.

"Maybe, but she has to make her own choices. Just like I told her." Hiccup said.

"Want to make a bet on it?" Valentine asked playfully.

"We'll see Valentine. We'll see." Hiccup answered.

It is done. Phew, long one. My hands are sweating.

Anyways you all now realised I'm back and ready to write again. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter as it was likely a long awaited one. I hope I captured the moment right because I was listening to so many teary soundtracks on repeat writing this. Hope it worked. Also for reference how the fourth legion looks, search for the 327th star corps. They were inspired by them.

So consider this chapter a little back to school gift from me. (Evil laughter) Since I don't have to go for another 3 weeks. Yay College. So I'll have a bit more time to write (sheers).

Also in the last chapter a lot of people seemed to thing Dagur was dead. I never confirmed nor denied that. So who knows? Also I hit 101 reviews last chapter HOORAH!

Reviews:

assasins death: heart-warming review as always. But really when I write I tend to leave a lot of little details that might seem insignificant in the beginning but they do have a larger meaning. Good luck finding them.

KittyWithAKnife: Thank you! You are amazing too!

Grima: well exactly like this.

Ghost Dragon Master: you are very perceptive because that's exactly what will happen. But who'll win?

Secret: oh yes, a lot more Draconian empire.

mc arno: maybe, maybe not. That would be spoilers.

xxBrainZ: I thought so too since I never found something like this I thought, let's do it myself.

Thearizona: well I hope this chapter answered some of your questions. And thanks.

DYING: I mostly just write as a hobby. But thanks anyway, it means a lot to me.

JHawkins: yup, Hiccup had bigger problems and really why would I not kill off some major character. It's fun!

Jj: uh that's kind of hard to do. But I appreciate the enthusiasm.

Klatuveratanectu1701: it was all part of the plan. You're welcome by the way.

Makenna: oh stop it you…

orca3553: well if you mean by doomed gutted and exploded then yes.

Anyways thank you so much for reading and until next time. I've been

Dismissed
