Anyway here is a new chapter hope you guys enjoy this and much as I enjoyed writing this sooo yeah go ahead and read.
P.S There will be an OC character appearing in this chapter that was requested by one of you readers.
The blizzard was raging on that night, as the wind was howling around the ocean as dragons who didn't migrate were finding shelter to stay warm from this insanely crazy weather outside. "Stupid storm," Snotlout muttered to himself while keeping himself warm from the cold along with the chief and the rest of the riders since they were all huddled up in a cave of one of the islands that are near Berserker island. "When will it end?"
"From the looks of this storm it'll probably stop in five days but we don't have five days!" Fishlegs sighed, he didn't bother to mention the fact that Snoggletog was about a week away since he recalled their return from the library being earlier than expected which was good since they needed all the time they need. "But I don't know what Dagur, Hiccup, and Heather are doing right now and with this weather we might either arrive just in time to save them or too late!"
"Calm down Fishlegs, this is Hiccup and Heather we're talking about," Astrid tried to reassure the panicked teen. "They're one of the smartest vikings we know so I'm positive that whatever torture Dagur is giving them, they'll endure it and find a way out of this mess." I hope...I really truly hope that they were faking their alliance with Dagur not for my sake, or even Stoick's sake but for their own. "That is if they are being tortured to begin with."
"But even if we find them, how will we convince them to come back?" Fishlegs asked, poking a stick through the fire the dragons made. "They are stubborn, especially Hiccup who is as stubborn as the chief even though they're not blood related..." He paused then whispered in a squeak to said chief. "Uh no offense sir."
"We'll figure that out once we get the Berserker Island, right now we have to wait out the storm 'til morning," Stoick responded, not bothering to even give Fishlegs a death glare because there was also a numerous amount of times when Hiccup was compared to Stoick and Valka, mostly for being boar-headed and stubborn.
"But until then, we shall not waste time here moping around but listen to one of my best horror stories!" Tuffnut announced with a jump as he stood in front of the fire then pointed to the group of dragons who were rolling their eyes. "Our scaly friends already had a taste of horror so let's begin!"
"Begin to get bored and fall asleep," Ruffnut groaned softly just so Tuffnut couldn't hear as he began his stories...
Next Morning...
"Is this storm really this bad? I thought it would stop at this point." Ruffnut groaned since the moment everyone woke up, they could see that the storm was still raging on as if the gods were making their mission a very difficult one! "Great now we gotta hear more of Tuff's boring spooky stories."
"That's not the issue!" Astrid growled, looking out the cave opening in hopes of seeing if the storm was bad enough to not be able to fly. "Hiccup and Heather are out there, we have to get to them! We'll fly through this blizzard if we have to."
"Astrid I hate to be the bringer of bad news but this storm seems to very very huge and to even fly through this would with our dragons would be a disaster..." Fishlegs shivered at the thought, then pointed at Toothless, who seemed to have stayed up all night thinking about his rider. "And Toothless has a fake tail fin that can easily freeze or break, and I don't think there'll be spares."
"We'll take our chances then," Snotlout interrupted. "If we wait any longer than that lunatic will win for sure! Besides Toothless's strong, he can fly without getting his tail fin frozen."
"This isn't just Toothless, what about our dragons safety too! Snotlout you of all people know what it feels to endanger your dragon," Fishlegs didn't need to get in much detail since he knew that Snotlout remembers the fireworm queen incident.
"Yeah but what about Hiccup, and Heather!?"
"Oh I know, how about we all flew out but stick together that way we'll be too big to be blown away!"
"Tuffnut I don't think that'll work."
"Then what do you suppose we do then Fishface."
"I-I don't know? Astrid, a little help."
"I'm thinking Fishlegs."
Stoick remained awful quiet as the teens argument went deaf down his eardrums while he stood beside the wall, watching the blinding storm cover any visual of the outside no longer hearing the roaring winds. He knew that he's been being silent more than he usually was which made him surprised with himself for being this quiet but who wouldn't if their child was told a truth they didn't want them to know about. This blizzard is too strong for any of them to fly through with their dragons, this storm is worse than what any snow wraith can make but not so strong for... He looked over at the corner where Skullcrusher was trying to comfort Toothless and Windshear, both distraught, worried for their riders that he knew that neither had a wink of sleep.
The chief finally found his voice, silencing the argument and causing the teens to be shocked at his decision. "Skullcrusher and I will go on ahead alone. The rest of you stay here with your dragons and don't try to follow unless this weather is safe enough for you to fly through."
"What!?" A chorus of teens yelled.
"You heard me, Skullcrusher is one of the toughest dragons in this room who can go through this storm, so he and I are going," Stoick repeated himself as he was getting his saddle ready while the teens tried to convince him to do otherwise.
"How can you think about this chief, you can't do this alone!"
"That's right, we came along to help you, not let you do this all by yourself!"
"That's even way more insane that Hiccup's plans!"
"You can't just say that!"
"Do you really think you can fly through this alone!?"
"THAT'S ENOUGH ALL OF YOU!" Stoick shouted, silencing everyone. "I know this isn't our original plan but what choice do we have, none of your dragons can fly through this storm that's even worse than the one Berk had three years ago. Hiccup and Heather are in Berserker island, possibly being told more lies than the truths they wanted to hear and if they are acting out their betrayal then gods know how long they can keep that up."
"But chief, the keeper of the library told us that you didn't want anything to do with Hiccup."Ruffnut pointed out. "So how can we be sure that whatever Dagur tells them is a lie or the truth."
"Now that you mentioned that small detail," Snotlout whispered, then for the first time in his life looked at the chief with demand. "Exactly what changed your mind about keeping Hiccup?"
"In all honestly, it was Hiccup himself as a wee baby, he managed to change my mind," Stoick answered, finally mounting on top of Skullcrusher. "That's all you need to know." Before he could fly off, he saw Toothless and Windshear were eagerly getting ready to follow him but he was quick to hold his hand up to signal to stop on their tracks. "No Toothless, you two have to stay here too. Look I know you want to go get your riders, especially you Toothless but you two can't this time but don't worry I promise I'll bring them both back, with all their limbs intact." Or in Hiccup's case, with all his limbs that he has... With that all both dragons could do was nod.
DRAGONS POV
"This isn't fair! I have to go with Stoick, Hiccup needs me!" Toothless growled under his breath while Windshear tried her best to calm the nightfury down.
"I know how you must feeling Toothless, remember Heather is my friend too but the big man has a point." Her tail lightly tapped Toothless's fake tail. "Your tailifin here could get damaged from the blizzard."
"I know but I don't care," Toothless sighed. "Is just that I want to see for myself if Hiccup wandered down the dark path and if he did, I have to somehow convince him to come home."
"What home, I thought Berk wasn't his real home."
"Not by birthright but it was the village he grew up in, where he and I become friends."
"He must mean everything to you Toothless but maybe it is best that his former father went after our riders," Windshear didn't give Toothless time to protest as she explained. "This man must be able to talk to your Hiccup alone, maybe he can convince those two without any distractions of options of escape. Our riders are strong and are too smart to ever have an allegiance with the enemy so if we faith in them for that then we must have faith that the chief will bring them back."
"I hope so Windshear, not for our sake for their sake."
END DRAGONS POV
"I'm still not sure about this chief but... I really hope you can do it, not for our sake but for Heather's and Hiccup's," Astrid sighed. "We'll catch up to you as soon as we can sir."
Without another word, Skullcrusher and Stoick flew out in the devastating cold, in hopes of getting to Berserker Island in one piece.
"Snowed in?" Dagur questioned one of guards in the Great Hall who were specialists in the weather. "Are you sure? Just how long are we talking about?"
"Not long," The guard reassured the berserker chief, hoping to not anger him. "The storm should be gone by tomorrow night so we won't have to worry about it when it's Snoggletog but I would advise that if you wish to travel the you have to train your own dragons because there will be no taking ships out on sea in this weather unless you're as crazy as him." He whispered at the last part until this him came inside with a knife thrown at the table as his entrance as he spoke with high confidence.
"You mean as crazy as me, Asger." The person was leaning against the wall, they can only see his bright hazel eyes pierce through the shadows like a wild cat stalking it's prey but they can tell from his dark skin, the height of 6'4, his muscles similar to Dagur as he carried two swords which form a x on his back and he has dark black curly hair. "I mean, I am the crazy viking who will ever dare risk his own life to sail through nasty storms like this one."
"I know, you're my best friend and best spy of the court," Dagur chuckled but went straight to business. "So did my two twin brother and sister say anything interesting when they got home last night? After all not only you're a master sailor but a master spy I assume."
"Oh I got intel alright, but I think you'll like and hate it." Asger warned but he informed his friend of what he managed to listen despite the twins great attempts to make sure no one can hear. "From what I can hear, their so called alliance with you was merely an act in order for them to get close to you so that at your weakest position they will be able to capture you and send you back to prison." He saw the strong fists Dagur made, who suddenly didn't look up but stare down at a table of plans so the mystery person continued. "However after spending a whole day with you and the village, they are very unsure and confused about what to do now, in fact they have no idea what they'll do now. They fear for how the village but mostly you will feel if they do this, after all they are beginning to no longer see you as the bad guy, just a big brother who suffered."
Now that brought Dagur to release his fist and then look at his friend, now a smile spread across his face. "I see, so my brother and sister have no idea which side to really choose, even though I was expecting more from Hiccup but who cares! Now what we need to do is to convince them that their loyalty should be towards their village, their chief, their own big brother."
"And how do we do that, you already got them in a long guilt trip," Asger shrugged.
"Oh you'll find my plan interesting, this one includes one of your favorite things to do on nights like this." The berserker chief could see the grin his friend made before making his way out of the great hall. "If you don't want to waste time follow me while I fill you in and make sure you have the best men for this new mission,and Ill introduce you to my siblings personally and not by how they sound."
A FEW HOURS LATER...
"Hiccup?" Heather whispered, knocking gently at her brother's room door until it opened reveal Hiccup who appeared to be very stressed since he was silent during breakfast then went back in. "Sorry for this stress fireball but do you have any ideas about what we need to do now?"
All Hiccup could do was sigh and shake his head. "Nothing, there's not a single plan I can think of without ending up having to choose a side. I got nothing, I want to the sensible responsible viking and put Dagur in prison but he's not such a bad guy after, he' our older brother..By far the only family we have left."
"What about Stoick?"
"He probably thinks I was serious when I said all that," Hiccup sighed again. "I don't know what he's doing right now back at Berk, but I just don't know what to consider him after everything."
The two were silent until they suddenly heard the front door open that revealed Dagur and some stranger who they've never seen before. Dagur walked up his siblings, giving them a good hair rustle with a bright smile that didn't send chills down their spines like it usually does. "How are my favorite twins doing?" Hiccup and Heather forced out a chuckle as the male twin corrected their brother. "We're your only set of twin siblings Dagur."
"I know but you two are still my favorite."
Now that made the twins smile until they looked at the stranger who was just standing by the door, trying to avoid looking at them, his skin was darker than their's but when Dagur saw their curiosity, he nudged them to get closer to the person. "Hiccup, Heather, I'd like you to meet my old friend Asger. He was adopted to the tribe after we found him alone on our beach from a shipwreck ten years ago that's why he looks different but he's the same age as you two." At that point Asger finally turned his head to take a look at the twins. He just came back from an expedition so I thought it would be nice to introduce you three."
"Nice to meet you, Asger," Hiccup spoke as he shook said teen's hand who smiled and then fist bump him.
"Same to you Hiccup, Dagur has told me everything that happened while I was gone and I've heard a lot about you every time he would come home from a peace treaty signing. He would always say how intelligent you are, he even admitted that you were more intelligent than him and-" Asger stopped talking for two reasons, one he knew that he talked any further, Dagur could murder him and two...The sight of Heather, or more like her beauty. He walked away from Hiccup,who raised his eyebrow in confusion until he saw Asger take Heather's hand and hold them close and tight to his chest as he introduced himself.
"And you must be the lovely, skillful, beautiful, intelligent Heather that Dagur told me about, and might I confess, you look more beautiful than any goddess I ever laid eyes upon,"Asger didn't notice how Hiccup and Dagur both somehow had steams of heat sizzle on his heads, fists ready to take down the teen who was hitting on their sister. "I must honest my dear, you really are a sight for sore eyes. Did you know that I can manage to sail any ship through any kind of weather Thor and Odin can make together?"
"Um no, but I think that is kinda nice to know," Heather gently but quickly pulled her hands away, feeling a little awkward at the fact that every guy she meets they start giving her nice compliments and exaggerated abilities they have and this is an even worse situation since she now has two brothers who now look like they can turn anything their hands can grab into a weapon to kill any guy with. "So you're a friend of Dagur's, that's nice to know and a pleasure a meet you."
"The pleasure is all mine beautiful goddess," Asger smiled, both of them didn't hear what Dagur and Hiccup were whispering to each other.
"Did you know your friend was going to hit on our sister Dagur?"
"Not until now brother..."
"I say we make sure he doesn't get anywhere near her."
"Agreed, although I think burning him on the stake would be better."
"He's your friend Dagur."
"If he decided to do anything with her then he's not. Remind me to get your dragons as soon as possible."
"For once I agree, I'm sure Toothless will love to teach him a lesson for hitting on Heather."
If Asger wasn't so busy reciting poems to Heather on his knees while she listened awkwardly, they would have heard the two brothers sinister chuckles as the males planned the most horrifying punishment to Asger if he somehow managed to hurt their sister in any way. The gods in Valhalla must have fainted for they have witnessed the day Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third and Dagur the Deranged working together and agreeing on something very insane!
