"Ahh do you smell this guys, it smells of future battle victories, a new start with a family, and much more to expect," Dagur sniffed the salty air then pointed to the island the ships were getting closer to so his siblings can see. "Just you wait, in a few moments you two will be able to see what's its like to be a true berserker! I'm going to make sure you two forget whatever Berk or that other tribe taught you two! You've been away from your real home for far too long so as my duty as your big brother I must help you recover your berserker traits and traditions, the feeling of happiness the moment you kill your first viking victim. Ah the years of memories to catch up on and to create."
He didn't notice how Hiccup and Heather flinched once again at the mention of killing until Hiccup spoke up by forcing out a yawn to make it believable to him. "We can hardly wait for that, but sis and I had a long night yesterday so we're going below deck to rest before we land. If that's alright."
"Of course brother, what kind of older brother am I if I don't allow my own siblings to rest! You two have to rest because once we get on deck it'll be endless celebration from here through after Snoggletog. It's really great to have most of my family back." Dagur grinned, gently shoving his two twins towards the bottom deck. "You both will love the village I promise you that!" Without another word Hiccup and Heather waved a short farewell as they went below for some rest while they could hear Dagur begin to sing a tune that was so graphic that it nearly caused the soldiers to barf.
A FEW HOURS LATER...
Hiccup was the first to wake up as he stretched his arms only to see that he wasn't in the boat anymore just a room with one bed and a window which kinda reminded him of his own room back at Berk but this one didn't have a desk or a giant flat rock where a dragon could sleep. Instead there was only weapons hanged up walls and shields on the floor but he couldn't see Heather anywhere in sight! Panicked, Hiccup sprung out of the bed he was sleeping in but before he could open the closed door of the room himself, the door opened and in came Dagur with Heather yawning right behind him.
"Had a good nap brother? You don't have to worry about Heather, she was awake when I went in her room," Dagur smiled, pulling Hiccup into an embrace as the deranged teen explained since he could see that both teens were confused. "We arrived at Berserker Island an hour ago but I didn't want to disturb your sleep so I had the soldiers carry you to your old-new rooms so you can sleep more. I had to calm down the village and give the huge announcement of your return, and they are very happy and excited to see the twin heirs return."
He then directed them down stairs, towards the door that led to the outside, Heather and Hiccup both gulped since they felt nervous about being greeted by the village, even if one of them had the tribe come over for a peace treat every year, he never was allowed to go to berserker island itself. Dagur only gave them a reassuring nod as he opened the door while bright light shined and before the two nervous teens could react, their ears were ambushed with loud shouts, cheers, and more applauding from a bigger audience which was the entire berserker tribe as they shouted out with joy:
"THERE THEY ARE!"
"THE TWIN HEIRS HAVE FINALLY RETURNED!"
"WELCOME HOME!"
"YOU TWO HAVE RETURNED AT LONG LAST!"
"LONG LIVE HICCUP AND HEATHER!"
"WE ARE SO GLAD YOU BOTH ARE FINALLY HOME!"
"YEAH!"
"WELCOME BACK TO YOUR REAL HOME!"
Dagur urged Hiccup and Heather to smiled and wave which was what they awkwardly since they weren't expecting this kind of greeting from their real home tribe but they were able to show real genuine smiles when their older brother signaled the tribe to each come up to personally greet them family by family. The men gently shook their hands, the women gave them hugs along with the elderly, and the children gave Heather flowers while they asked Hiccup to lift them up or high five them.
"Are you two going to help us decorate our village home for Snoggletog?" One of the little girls of the last family asked quietly, hoping not to have anger the chief but he nodded along with Hiccup and Heather who smiled at her as they nodded. "Of course we will, we'll help in any way we can."
"Okay then you're going to have to start by making the wreaths to hang around every house in the village!" The little girl brightened up as she grabbed both their hands and led them down to the villager were everyone was picking the wreaths up to start hanging! "It's fun! Chief Dagur you can join in this time if you want!"
"Join this time?" Heather asked as Dagur made his way down with the girl's family.
"Every year in Snoggletog Dagur never comes to help decorate the village, he just stays home practicing how to use his weapons and be angry all the time," The girl shrugged, "Well that's what mommy and daddy told me."
"I never knew he didn't enjoy himself at this time of the year," Hiccup muttered softly so no one cane hear him, not even Heather as they grabbed the wreaths and began hanging them up. "Must be hard."
"Lift me up Hiccup! Please!" The little girl begged with laughter, soon Hiccup found himself surrounded by children who wanted him to lift them all up but before he could try to squeeze himself out of this pickled, Dagur came in laughing with real joy, announcing to the children. "I don't think brother Hiccup can lift you all up, but I think we both can, holding all of you up at the same time!" Now that caused the children to cheer as Dagur linked his arm with Hiccup who was trying his best to object to this idea but the children were already stacking each other over one another while the brothers supported them as they hung the wreaths.
Heather was a little worried but seeing how they both managed she only laughed as the sight until the little girl's mother and father came up to her as the mother commented with astonishment. "Oh my gods I can't believe it, it's been ages since I've seen or heard Dagur being this happy."
"I thought he was always happy, in his own deranged ways I mean," Heather replied to the adults who gave her a small smiled as the father explained while they watched Hiccup and Dagur trying to keep hold when one of the children found a ticklish spot on Dagur.
"No that was fake happiness, usually the lad was only angry and upset, putting that anger against his village but we couldn't really blame him. He lost his mother, then Hiccup, and you; can't imagine how torn he was as a child. I wasn't surprised at all when I heard that Oswald was eliminated, sure the man was a great chief but a very lousy father." The father shook his head but then smile with relief. "But now that he found you two, he's the most happiest man in all of the archipelago and look at him, so full of joy that he's even playing with children. This is why the berserkers thank you and Hiccup, for choosing to come home and bring joy back to your brother's life."
"Y-You're welcome," Heather responded but she had to run to her brothers aid since they've began to call for her share of strength to prevent the children from falling and soon the three siblings were holding up all the children in the tribe up as they carried them from house to house to complete the decorating until they were finally done which resulted them all falling on a hill of soft snow.
The twins soon found themselves getting dragged through the village to get a tour of their home by Dagur as he allowed most of the kids to drag his siblings around as the others offered them to try the treats they've baked!
"Try my mom's fruit cake!"
"No try the sugar coated honey nut cakes!"
"You simply have to eat my daddy's sugar cookies!"
"Here's mums' crab cakes!"
"Try the sugar bread!"
"Take a taste of the eggnog my parents made!"
"Have some of my dad's famous honey cookies!"
"Taste some corn bread frosted with sugar!"
Hiccup, Heather, and even Dagur found themselves trying more sweets that they were pretty sure that they were gaining more pounds but the more children came with their parents cooking with adorable begging eyes that no one can resist, they still tasted the tasty and edible food. At the point when they couldn't take another bite, Hiccup accidentally threw a piece of cake at Dagur, causing the children and adult to gasp to see the older teen's reaction... Which was throwing a piece of cake that was supposed to be for Hiccup but it hit Heather! From what seemed to be only throwing a few slices, everyone ended up having the most historic food fight that gave the terrible terrors a giant feast to eat so the mess was clean.
Soon there was no more food to throw so the adults turned the food fight into a snow competition which consisted of having a huge snowball fight which consists of groups, leaders, and tactics, having a lot of snow thrown at each other until the winners were decided to be the three heirs since they surprisingly won by Hiccup's intelligent tactics and Heather's element of surprise that were quickly admired by everybody!
"How did you come up with such a great idea Hiccup?"
"You're so smart, I can't believe Berk used to isolate you for that!"
"Heather can you teach me how to do that surprise attack?"
"You're so fast Heather!"
"You guys are great and talented like Dagur!"
"Who cares if you're not strong, you both are so amazing!"
I was always told that the berserker tribe were only full of people who are only blood lust and never knew the true meaning of happiness! Hiccup thought to himself, recalling those rumors he would hear the villagers of Berk say. But these villagers are just as human as we are! They're a huge family who just wanted their chief to be happy for once.
By sundown the decorations were done being hanged as well as the wooden tree that they for some reasons burned so they can dance around in circles, having Hiccup and Heather in the the center to do some solo dances before dragging them in the giant circle of dancing! Heather saw that Dagur was joining in so with Hiccup's help, they managed to drag him in the big circle, causing the tribe to cheer louder with happiness! The moment the fire died down, everybody was in the Great Hall enjoying a light meal since they were saving the huge feast for Snoggletog which was two days away, the adults telling stories of their lives.
They even managed to have Hiccup and Heather tell tales of their lives, but they made sure to leave the details of how they trained their dragons since they were still being a little cautious of them even though they showed no harm.
"So you really trained a nightfury Hiccup? And a razorwhip Heather?"
"We sure did, but Heather befriended Windshear a few years after I trained Toothless," Hiccup answered the small child's question.
"Hey Heather, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No I don't but I can't say the same for Hiccup here," Heather smirked when Hiccup spit out the drink he was drinking while Dagur laughed to add. "There's no arguing with that, our brother is quite the lady charmer in this family. But you really attract the men Heather." Soon the whole hall full of villagers were laughing, making cheers and toasts for the heirs long stay as they partied until the welcome home party had to end that evening since someone caught sight of a snowstorm coming so everyone had to go home to stay warm.
"You two go ahead," Dagur told his siblings, as he made his way through the departing crowd. "I'm going to make sure everyone is in their homes safe and sound."
All the two could do was nod until Hiccup felt someone tapping his shoulder so he turned around to see that it was one of the villagers who was carrying his son who was sleeping soundly as he whispered to them. "I'd want to personally thank you for finally coming home, Dagur had never cared about checking on the village but now that you're both here, he's finally happy. So thank you." With that, he left for the exit while his two daughters waved goodbye as they went out to return to their home. So without anything else to do, Hiccup and Heather went out to the exit to head to their house since they still need to get used to this new change.
However the smiles they had vanished slowly to sadness the second they stepped in the house and shut the door. They then head up stairs where Hiccup's room was, both of them with faces of confusion and distraught. The moment they went in the room, Heather made sure the coast was clear until she made a thumbs up that it was so then once she got in, Hiccup managed to lock the door of his room, close the window shut and cover up any cracks or holes that can give anyone an advantage to listen.
Heather sat down on the closet chair while Hiccup stood against the wall, the two remained in tense silence as their eyes looked at the floor as if it was the most interesting thing until the female twin broke the silence."Was this a good idea?" She waited for Hiccup to say something since the previous night in that forest when Dagur was distracted yelling at Stoick, Astrid, and Snotlout, they both made a decision to act like they wanted to join him to make it very believable, but now the male twin didn't say anything but let out a heavy sigh. Heather shook her head, trying to get the answer out of him. "Hiccup, what is the point of this anyway? What are we supposed to accomplish by ourselves?"
Finally Hiccup looked up at his sister, she can tell he was feeling the same way she does. "We were supposed to get to Berserker island without being forced to by making this believable, find him at his weakest point and then capture him so we can send him back to prison and never see him again! But...BUT!"
"Hiccup?" Heather whispered, hating to see her brother get frustrated but she finished his statement with a sigh. "But how can we? How can we do this now after everything he told us he's been through? After everything he and the village has done for us now? What are we going to do? If we do what we originally planned then who knows how heartbroken the village will be, and Dagur..."
"I don't know, I mean after everything today I can't see Dagur as the bad guy anymore...More like someone who was coping with their pain with the wrong idea," Hiccup groaned with frustration. He couldn't formulate a plan after all this. "Just...Just give me until tomorrow, I'll figure something out."
"I hope it won't be stupid like what Astrid told me," Heather warned, and with that the twins embraced each other before she left to go to her own room to rest, in hopes that Hiccup can find a way to put an end to this madness they gotten themselves into.
Yeah now everyone is soooo OCC so see ya until next chapter
