Finding Dragon's Edge wasn't at all easy. Luckily, Aaron had his father accompany him. Thunderbolt had healed well but couldn't fly very large distances yet so they had to make continues stops on the way. It also gave Aaron the opportunity to train with him more often.
"I'm not sure if they will let you stay on there, son," Johann warned while holding on for his dear life as Aaron directed Thunderbolt to go faster. "Maybe it's better we turn back and go home?"
Aaron shook his head. "No," he said in stern tone. "I'm not giving up so easily. I'm going to find her."
"Find who?" Johann echoed, letting out a yelp when Thunderbolt headed for a sharp swing. "What are you searching for, son? I told you, Gloria is no longer alive!"
"I know, I'm not talking about mother," Aaron retorted with a sigh. "I'm looking for a girl."
Johann laughed uneasily. "Who is this fortunate young lady you have so clearly set your eyes on? Why would she be on Dragon's Edge? Surely you don't mean to tell me you have fallen for that wacky Thorsten girl? I'll tell you right away that she is not worth-"
"Astrid," Aaron interrupted. "Her name is Astrid."
Johann shifted in his seat uncomfortably and was about to say something when the Edge suddenly came to view. Aaron let out a gasp in wonder.
They ended up landing near the stables, Aaron took a few steps before he was stopped by a two headed dragon nearly colliding onto him.
"Hey! Watch out!" the male twin yelled, while the female stared at him with a strange expression. "Who the heck are you?" she exclaimed with a smile. "Not that I'm complaining whatsoever," she continued in a flirtatious tone. Aaron cringed inwardly.
"What are you doing here, Johann?" he heard a nasal voice ask behind him. "Is everything alright?"
Johann laughed. "Everything is fine, Master Hiccup. I was just dropping off my son here with you-"
"Your son?" Hiccup Haddock mumbled, confused. Aaron turned to him with a nod. "And you must be Stoick the Vast's son?" he addressed out loud. "Pleased to meet you. I'm Aaron. Maybe some of you remember me from my visits to Berk."
"Okay,"Hiccup's frown didn't cease. "But why are you here?" His eyes suddenly widened. "Hold on! Is that a.. "
"Skrill, yes," Aaron confirmed proudly. "His name is Thunderbolt."
Hiccup continued to stare at him in shock while the twins expressed their excitement. "So not only is this Aaron guy, like extremely good looking, but he trained a freakin' Skrill? Something not even you could do, Hiccup!" the female twin shouted in glee.
Hiccup only frowned further.
