Hello world, next chapter for this interesting plot twist. ,Must be the first time in eternity that I update this fast but this story must go on. Thanks for reviews for the first chapter and I hope you all enjoy this ;)
"You can stay with us here for as long as you want," Hiccup offered once they landed on Dragon's Edge. "Is that alright or do you need to fly off to have more time to think over things?"
"No, I've done a lot of thinking over the past few months and after that incident I think I should stick around. Besides, you guys are my friends." Heather answered as Toothless licked her with joy along with the rest of the dragons, "Okay okay you can stop now! Uh guys! A little help!" For his misfortune, it was pretty hard to ask for help since she couldn't stop laughing from the constant licking until the riders had enough laughing of their own then called their dragons to release their friend from the tickling hell.
"And you'll be staying in my room," Astrid offered as she helped Heather up from the ground. "Just until you can design your own dorm and when it's fixed but that's going to take a while since everyone is busy for the holidays this time of year."
"Sure, that'll be great, I was beginning to think that I'll spend this year's Snoggletog alone," Heather smiled with relief, grateful to dorm with Astrid since Snotlout was out the question, the twins were too wild, Fishlegs would make her blush, and Hiccup; well she want to stay clear from him since he's Astrid "unannounced" boyfriend.
"Well you're not alone Heather, Astrid you can help her settle in; Fishlegs, you and the twins have to patrol the edge and then after that you guys can get the rest of the day off-" Snotlout then interrupted Hiccup with annoyance,
"And what am I supposed to do oh great dragon master?"
"You, my good friend have the honor of coming with me back to Berk for some important business my father wants us to do," Hiccup answered, ignoring the shocked faces from the rest of the teens and the surprised but yet excited face of Snotlout. Hiccup then turned to Heather and Astrid, "Sorry we can't stick around to help out but my dad says that this is really urgent."
"Very urgent that he needs you and Snotlout?" Astrid asked, not sure if either Hiccup, the chief, or both lost their minds while Snotlout rubbed this privilege in Fishlegs face. "Are you sure you and your dad have eel pox?"
"No I'm pretty sure we don't," Hiccup reassured, before whispering the real explanation to the two girls out of Snotlout's hearing range,"It's that time of year when Gobber has to take a bath especially since Snoggletog is right around the corner; my father needs me and Toothless to chase Gobber down to the tub and have Snotlout and Hookfang to hold him down...But mainly because he wants to punish Snotlout for a certain incident."
"He found out that Snotlout was the one who cut his beard off last month huh?" Astrid guessed, only to try to hide her giggling when Hiccup nodded. "Well you two have fun on that urgent mission. Hopefully the chief goes easy on him, it is the holidays after all."
"Trust me I would rather stay here, far away from Gobber's stench but I have no choice, the son of a chief does what best for his village," Hiccup remarked as he mounted on top of Toothless. "Even if it means chasing down a one armed and one legged foul smelling viking."
"Hiccup," Heather spoke up just before the teen could fly off. "Those things Dagur said earlier, are you sure they don't bother you in any way?"
"This is Dagur the Deranged we're talking about, I've dealt with his insanity talk and this wasn't anything new so you don't have to worry about that Heather," Hiccup assured then patted Toothless to indicate that it was time to fly. "We'll be back hopefully by nightfall and if not then by tomorrow afternoon! Better yet we'll send air mail to let you guys know." He shouted from the sky, Snotlout already ahead. "Let's go bud." Didn't take less than five minutes before the teens no longer saw the two raiders before they went off to their own duties, well almost every teen.
Astrid was about to begin showing Heather the new changes in the edge until her arm was grabbed and was getting dragged to her dorm. "Heather? What are you doing, what's going on?"
"We have to talk about something that's been bugging me for the past few hours, and maybe even you," Heather whispered as they made their way to the shield maiden's room, making sure everything was locked and ear proof.
"If its what Dagur said then I am fully just as concerned as you are Heather, so what about this is bugging you?" Astrid sat down to listen to every word Heather said in her explanation.
"Look just before you guys rescued me, Dagur had this map that leads to this library that hold the records of every born heir of every chief of every tribe in the archipelago; he was planning to go there-"
"But he already knows that you're his sister so why would he need to go to a place like that?"
"That's when the part that is bugging me along with his rant comes in..." Heather sighed, until she just answered with complete honestly with the combination of her own confusion. "He told me that we have a brother somewhere out there. I couldn't tell if he was lying or telling the truth but Dagur was planning to go to that library and find evidence to prove it and expose this brother of ours."
At that point Astrid regretted drinking a mug of water because when Heather said all that, her eyes widened as she spit the water out to the floor, trying to catch a breath before she choked! "A brother!? Is that lunatic serious, well did he say who this brother is?"
"No, but like I said, I'm not sure if he was lying or not but I do know that the library he was talking about will tell us the answers we need," Heather explained while both of them grabbed some rugs to clean the spill. "All we need to do is fly over there and see if any of this true and if it is then why was he ranting about all that stuff to Hiccup."
"But do we need the other riders help, maybe we should wait for Hiccup to come back and see what he thinks," Astrid suggested but that was answered by a strong comeback.
"No, we can't wait for him this time, look you heard what he said-"
"I know," Astrid then cleared her throat as she got up to imitate said person, "Dagur was only being a lunatic so just forget about what he says, it probably doesn't matter anyway."
Heather had to out her hands over her mouth to prevent herself from laughing at this impression before getting back to business. "But maybe we can let Fishlegs and the twins join us or have one or two of them come along...Just in case Hiccup and Snotlout show up to before we do, then someone can cover for us."
"I think we'll have to leave the twins then, Fishlegs will immediately give in to Hiccup's interrogations...But we can send Hiccup a message, telling him that we'll meet up with him at Berk to help with Snoggletog preparations after a quick trip to Dragon Island, then we can take all three because knowing the twins, they can lie but accidentally spit the truth out." Astrid suggested until she suddenly realized. "Wait..How exactly are we going to find this library? We don't even the map."
"You mean this one?" Heather smirked, pulling the object needed out from her satchel, finding Astrid's confused face and stuttering very amusing.
"H-How? W-When?"
"Lets just say one of Dagur's henchmen are too easy to steal from." Was all Heather answered, waiting for Astrid to put the pieces together.
Dagur was trying to calm himself but it wasn't easy when half his fleet were in pieces. or lost in the ocean "What else could go wrong!?"
"Um sir, I'm afraid we have some bad news.."Savage squeaked very nervously, limping towards the chief with bruises and two purple eyes. From the sound of Dagur's angered groaning, he was going to regret saying that.
"And what bad news are we exactly talking about before I chop your legs up and feed your corpse to the nearest nest of whispering deaths!" If Dagur was this angry, Thor help Savage as he gulped and reported with regret and fear.
"The map has been stolen!"
A tense nerve wrecking silence extended for the past ten seconds and before Savage could beg for mercy, he found himself pinned to the wall with a giant axe just centimeters away from his neck! He didn't dare say a word when Dagur shouted with anger that could make the sea itself cower before him!
"YOU IDIOT! YOU LET IT GET STOLEN! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW IMPORTANT THAT MAP IS TO ME AND MY PLANS! I SHOULD KILL YOU RIGHT NOW FOR BEING SUCH A CLUMSY LAZY GOOD FOR NOTHING IDIOT!" Dagur brought the axe a little closer before he whispered in a voice of struggling calmness. "Who stole it from you? And the answer 'I don't know' will not be accepted and will result instant death...So who took that map.."
"It-It-I-It w-w-was Heather!" Savage shook as he tried his best to avoid the blade from making a single drop of blood fall. "Before she flew off with the other riders she and her dragon attacked me then took the map from me!" He was waiting for death to come upon him but instead of an axe cutting his throat, he heard Dagur suddenly laugh like the mad man he was at this information. "Uh sir why aren't you angry anymore?" He was too afraid of the answer but Dagur responded in the way Savage totally did not see coming!
"Why would I be mad when my sister has the map? Don't you see, my rant obviously ticked her and her blonde friend off and when it comes to a new map those dragon riders will obviously want to go there!"
"Sorry sir I still don't understand. What are you saying?"
"You really are an idiot Savage; I told Heather that we have a brother but she doesn't know if she should believe me or not so what better way to get the answers than use the map to go to the library with her dragon rider friends. I'll have them uncover the secrets for me, and when the time is right that's when we strike," Dagur then pulled out a knife and threw it just inches away from Savage's helmet! "Besides I was knew that the map will eventually get stolen so I drew a copy, then all we need to do is follow them, then sit back and watch everything unfold."
"You could have said that than threaten to kill me," Savage muttered under his breath with relief the moment Dagur pulled out the copy and shouted at the captain to set sail.
"So you stole this weird map from Savage and you're suggesting that we held out to this library you're talking about right this minute?" Fishlegs questioned, inspecting the map after he and twins came back from patrolling and were given the brief explanation from Heather and Astrid. "I don't know, maybe Hiccup ha a point, Dagur is deranged."
"But even if he's deranged, he still is as crafty and sneaky than anyone we've come across with," Heather countered back in hopes of convincing the three teens to join her and Astrid on this mission. "Even if what he said is crazy, there's a good chance that he might be telling the truth and if he is, we can save this brother of mine from getting captured by Dagur."
"True, but do we have to lie to Hiccup about this? This is Dagur we're talking about," Fishlegs was eager to discover new things but something as big as that hidden from their leader wasn't what he intended on doing.
"For the time being yes, once we find enough answers we'll share them with Hiccup as soon as we get back," Astrid reassured even though part of her was a little guilty for keeping this kind of stuff hidden from Hiccup.
"But we will get back in time for Snoggletog right?" Tuffnut asked stupidly as he held his chicken closely. "I want to be home to introduce our parents to my chicken friend here."
"Until they decide to cook and eat him up," Ruffnut smirked at the reaction her twin made.
"Oh like that will ever happen, I'll never allow chicken to fall into the hand of death!"
"Guys focus!" Astrid yelled, earning the twins attention as she answered the first question. "I'm pretty sure we'll be back at Berk three days before Snoggletog so we better head out now if you want those three days."
Without another word, everybody packed whatever they needed while Fishlegs went to find a terrible terror when Astrid and Heather got working on the letter that tells half the truth...They were going to Berk, just not to Dragon Island.
After an hour of preparing, the terrible terror was sent with the air mail and they were on their dragons ready to take flight to this new mission that they were going to embark, not sure if this will be promising or regretful.
"Okay now there's no turning back on this, " Heather stated, not even noticing that she and Windshear were in front of the line of dragon riders. "So without any other option or in this case question, let's go." So without another word spoken amongst the teens, they all flew out of the edge, unexpectedly following Heather as she read the map to see where they were supposed to head towards. She sighed, having a sick feeling at the pit of stomach that they might find something but like she said, there's no turning back.
No turning back at all...
