Hey, guys! Here's another chap that Ladipretender got to edit so quickly! Thanks so much, girl! :D

I hope you'll all enjoy and check my profile for more stories or art in my DA after reviewing!

Previously, the Hooligan teens got to bond with their dragons and even named them as Hiccup thought up possibilities of how to save the tortured dragons in the Outcasts' hands. Noticing that Hiccup was way too restless, Cami gave him something to help him sleep while she decided to go to Outcast Island for a Scouting mission so they could rescue the dragons.

Chapter 21

Something is Wrong

Hiccup slowly and lazily felt himself waking up. He yawned and stretched his arms and legs before deciding to sit up. He was feeling a lot better than before, his muscles felt relaxed and his head was light, it had been a while since he slept so well. He was feeling refreshed and invigorated. He hated to admit it, but all he needed was rest, a real peaceful and maybe long one, even his wound wasn't hurting as much as before.

"I took your stitches out last night. Please, try not to open the wound again." Ingrid's voice came from his right side and he turned to look at her.

"Thanks… What time is it, by the way?"

"Around noon. You slept through the whole night and morning. But it's okay, it was just as I expected with the herbs Camicazi gave you."

"I still can't believe she did that to me! Where is she? I wanna yell at her!"

"You say that, but you're feeling great, aren't you?"

"Yeah, I am better…"

"Well, I just patched you up again, the cut is looking good, and it seems like it's healing properly. But I haven't seen her since morning, I guess…"

"I'll find her eventually… Thanks, Ingrid. It's good to know at least someone recognizes that I'm not some useless moribund…"

"You're obviously not like that or you wouldn't be joking around." She chuckled and he rolled his eyes. "But I don't advise you to walk too much or fly for a while, you're still recovering, don't push yourself too hard. You're still young; you'll be in good shape in no time. And if you need help to sleep again, just ask. It was a good idea that Camicazi had. It helped you relax and sleep better. Now, excuse me, I have to go see other patients."

She announced and then left the house. Hiccup sighed, standing up from his boring bed and stretching his muscles slowly and lazily until he felt good to go, though he was still limping a bit. Toothless saw him leaving and quickly went after Hiccup, he was drifting off to sleep again out of boredom, but luckily, Stoick had brought him breakfast earlier.

Feeling their stomachs growl, both went to the Great Hall to get some food. The Hooligans, as usual, were there and his father was happy to see him up and managing to go down to the 'middle level' before he could check on him. Stoick had to keep reminding himself that his son was different, stronger and wiser now. Hiccup noticed the angry looks Astrid was giving him, but he didn't know why she was doing it.

He got Toothless a lot of fish and himself a plate with not as much as food a normal Viking would eat before sitting down at a table near the Hooligans, the same one as Bork, Eret, Hall and Sten. Camicazi would usually sit with them too, and sometimes Eira and Kari, but none of the girls were there.

"Has anybody seen the girls?"

"Eira and Kari already ate." Hall answered. "But I haven't seen Cami all day."

As soon as Astrid heard that name, she stood up and walked away, passing Hiccup without even looking at him.

"Thanks, Hall. Does anyone know why Astrid seems so mad at me?"

"You got me there, pal." Eret mumbled sadly, playing with the rest of the food on his plate with the right hand and supporting the weight of his head on the left. He sighed and shrugged. "Women, who could understand them?" The other men and boys at the table just nodded.

Hiccup finished his breakfast quickly and went outside with Toothless right behind him. He and his loyal dragon found her a bit away from there, in the woods, with Stormfly.

"Hi." He said awkwardly as he stepped closer. She just turned away with a grumpy face. He sighed, confused. "Hum… What did I do wrong? Why are you mad at me?"

"You know exactly what you did."

By then, he was starting to think he wasn't supposed to have kissed her. He tried not to be sad about it, he had made a choice and that was that. He just wanted, no, he needed to know what was wrong.

"No, I don't and if you don't tell me, I'll never know!"

She sighed angrily.

"Fine, then. How could you kiss me like that and then just dismiss me for that other girl. Camicazi, right? You like her, don't you? Why did you kiss me and make me get into you if you were into someone else? That's just mean! You're a jerk!"

"What?"

"Exactly what you've heard!"

"Wait, so… you like me?" She frowned and he cleared his throat. "I mean, yes, Cami is special to me, I can't lie to you-"

"See! I knew it!" She cut him off, but he just kept on going.

"But that doesn't mean I'm in love with her. She's more like a sister to me. You're the one I've been thinking about all these years."

"You… have?" Just then he realized what he said and shrugged, defeated.

"Yeah… Kinda always, actually…" He admitted, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"Oh… Thanks." She trailed off not managing to hide the huge grin on her lips.

"But I know it doesn't matter." He sighed heavily. "You'll go to back to Berk eventually and that's not my home anymore…"

"Hiccup, don't say it like that. Berk is still your home. It doesn't matter how long you've been away or what your new friends are. Maybe not everyone will be willing to accept dragons at first, but that doesn't mean they never will. Besides, you said I could stay here for a while, right?"

"Right. Absolutely. But, it's just that…" She interrupted by kissing him softly on the lips.

"Shut up, Dragon Boy. For now let's just enjoy the moment, okay? Leave the tough decisions for another day. Carpe Diem." He sighed.

"I know you're right."

"Of course, I'm always right." She said proudly and he just rolled his eyes.

"Hiccup! Hiccup!" Kari's voice hurriedly came in their direction, she had her loyal yellow Terrible Terror, Erik, on her left shoulder. "I'm sorry to interrupt, but Bork wants to see you, he said it was urgent."

Hiccup nodded and went after her as fast as he could. He soon found Bork with his pack of Terrible Terrors.

"What is it, Bork? Kari said you wanted to see me."

"Yes. Horrorcow spotted a ship on the horizon and Hall went to check it out. He said it was a single one, fairly small, only two men inside, it didn't seem to be from either the Berserker tribe or the Outcasts."

"Good. Let's just hope it's not going to be from another enemy tribe… Ask Garth to give up some space on the docks, the waters here are difficult to sail and they might want to take a rest. Then, I'll see about their intentions." Hiccup said, running his hands through his hair, a bit worried and already tired of the situation, all he could do was hope it was no one hostile.

It didn't take long until the boat was finally in sight and soon it was at the docks. Hiccup also asked everyone to keep the dragons on land for a while; so they wouldn't scare the guests until he was sure they were not a threat. Sure, two men in a small ship wouldn't be a menace, but if they went back to their tribe and it was a big or mean one, that'd be a problem.

It was in the middle of the afternoon when they finally docked. Hiccup walked, as much as he couldn't without limping, to the end of the docks, Toothless patiently waiting as close as he could without being seen. Bork followed right behind, curious, along with Sten and Garth so they might intimidate the unwanted guests a little, since their leader was so scrawny.

"Welcome to my island." Hiccup said crossing his arms, not in an angry way, but in an imposing one. He wasn't very scary anyway.

"Are you the chief around here?" One of them asked. He had a very bad attitude and seemed familiar to Hiccup, though he couldn't remember where he had seen him. The arrogant young man looked at him from head to toe and crossed his arms, Hiccup tried not to roll his eyes at that, the man seemed to have a worse temper than Snotlout. The other one was a bit taller and more imposing, elbowing the arrogant one without patience.

"I'm Thuggory. Son of Mogadon, chief of the Meatheads. I think we've met before, haven't we?"

"Indeed, we go to the Market Day once in a while. But I believe we haven't been formally introduced yet. My name is Hiccup, and I'm the chief of the Strike Tribe."

"Wait, you mean that freakish tribe that lives with dragons?" Hiccup frowned at that and Thuggory elbowed the arrogant man again.

"By the way, this is Dogsbreath. Don't mind him, he has no manners. But I'm curious, in fact. I thought you had dragons…"

"We have, they're just hiding so they wouldn't scare you."

"I'm not scared by some stupid flying reptiles!" This time, Thuggory smacked Dogsbreath's head from behind.

"Anyway, we were just looking for…" The son of the Meatheads' leader was saying before he spotted someone behind Hiccup. "Bork, is that you?"

"Yes…"

"We thought you were dead! But you're alive! Since when?"

Bork raised an eyebrow and looked from side to side not really sure how to respond until he finally managed to say in am unemotional tone. "Since I was born…"

"I can't believe it! Don't worry, we'll take you back."

"No, I'm fine here. I chose to be here. I ran away from that stupid survival test, so I couldn't go back anyway, remember? All the men who don't pass the test are not real Vikings and non-Vikings can't be a Meathead." Bork said matter-of-factly. "Should I ask you why you're here?"

"Oh, yes. We're looking for an orphan girl, from our tribe. Do you remember Kari? She's missing and my dad ordered me to find her…"

Hiccup and Bork exchanged looks.

"May I ask what do you want with her and what would you do if you found her?"

"Obviously, we're gonna take her home. Granted that she's still alive… We've been searching for her for around three months. Two on sailing, but we have stopped for a few days in different villages."

"And do you plan to take her by force, whether she wants to go or not?" Hiccup asked once again. Dogsbreath raised an eyebrow.

"You talk like you know something!"

"Maybe I do. But that's none of your business."

"You have her? Is she okay? Why would you kidnap an orphan girl?" Thuggory asked, confused.

"No one kidnapped her. She ran away because she wanted to. We just accepted her and her new dragon friend." Hiccup explained simply.

"Are you serious?"

" Of course. You can see it for yourself. In fact, you may stay for a while, since we go to the Meatheads on Market Day, I don't see a reason why not to show you a bit of hospitality. Besides, I know these waters are difficult to sail through, so you must be tired. But, leave your weapons on your ship; no one's attacking our dragons. And don't worry; they won't attack you unless you make a sudden move on them first."

They were tired, hungry and their supplies were getting to their end. There wasn't really much choice for them but to accept the generous offer. Both guests were taken to the Great Hall by Bork and sat at a table in the middle of it, by then, Hiccup told everyone it was safe to let the dragons appear and all of them seemed to just pop up out of nowhere.

Thuggory was mesmerized, but Dogsbreath was torn between being disgusted and annoyed. Both sat exhausted, looking about, people were just hanging around, walking and caring for the dragons as if they were pets. It was something neither of them could have expected in their craziest dreams.

"Dogsbreath, look around! This is just so wonderful. Can you believe it? Dragons and humans together and they're not killing each other!"

"Yeah, yeah… When can we go?"

"Tomorrow, I hope. It's the middle of the afternoon and I don't want to sail in those waters again so soon, especially at night…" Thuggory said, then pointed to his right. "And look there, that boy is just feeding the dragon with his bare hands!"

Dogsbreath rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I'm waiting for it to bite his hand off, that'd be fun…"

Not too far away from the guests, Hiccup was observing them with an amused expression. Astrid came near him, staying silent for a moment until he spoke.

"He's taking it better than I imagined. Way better, in fact."

"He's Thuggory, what else could you expect from him, really?" She answered. "He's the sweet kind of guy who gets mesmerized by everything."

"Including you?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I'm not saying anything."

"Astrid!" Thuggory's voice came nearer to them. "Oh, dear Odin has brought me to you once again."

"Excuse me?" Hiccup choked.

"Hi, Thuggory. Long time no see…"

"Yes indeed. Too long, actually."

"Okay!" Hiccup interrupted. "I heard you wanted to stay for the night, right? You're sleeping on you boat or here in the Great Hall. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go." He mentally added something like so I can throw up a bit, before he turned to leave, not forgetting to pull Astrid away from the crazy heir hitting on her.

"You're so cute when you're jealous…" She teased, grinning.

"Jealous? Of that cub? Never!" Hiccup blurted out. "And I'm not cute, you don't say that to a man!"

"It's okay. It is a good thing." Astrid said, kissing him on the cheek and he sighed, with a small smile lifting his lips.

The rest of the day passed uneventfully and even wishing he could help the dragons immediately, Hiccup managed to sleep through the night almost peacefully and without more medicine. It didn't occur to him that he hadn't seen Camicazi the whole day. He only realized it when he woke up the next day, once again feeling better than the past few weeks. He was finally feeling himself mostly recovered and he could even walk without limping anymore. Or he almost could.

Hiccup woke up early; he and Toothless went outside to greet the first light of the morning. Very few people were awake at this hour, but Bork and his pack of Terrors were some of them.

"Morning, Bork. You're up early."

"Good morning too. I'm usually up this hour since my Terrors and I start the morning patrol shift."

"I know, but I just thought it would be a little later."

"I like to see the sun rise. But you're very early too, even though you're not flying."

"Yeah, but thankfully I'm feeling better now. I'm already planning some stuff to free the dragons on Outcast Island, so as soon as I'm recovered enough, we'll go."

"And do you think I could help somehow?" Bork asked. "I mean, I know I don't fight or fly, but if there's something I can do…"

"Thanks, I think you'll be able to do some of the stuff I'm planning, but I'll get into the details later." He stopped talking when a bright red dot caught his attention over the horizon; soon he recognized it as a Changewing. "Is that Shimmer?"

He asked finding it strange to see the dragon without her human, Bork shrugged, seeing nothing but a red blur until it was close enough to land in front of them, crooning sadly. Bork gulped and Stormcloud appeared from behind him, crawling up his back to his shoulder, crooning at the red dragon.

"Shimmer, where's Cami?" More sorrowful, exhausted croons, "She was with you, wasn't she? Did something happen to her?" More sad croons came from the dragon's throat and she lowered her head. "She's in trouble, isn't she?" Hiccup asked but he didn't need to, he already knew the answer. Shimmer would never leave Cami unless it was the only choice she had to help her human, or if Camicazi sent her away. Then, Hiccup looked at Bork, his face was white and his eyes were wide. "Bork…" He called in a very serious tone, one eyebrow raised.

"Y-yes?"

"You know something about this, don't you? Where is Cami? I didn't see her at all, yesterday."

"I'm sorry, it's not my fault! She asked me not to tell anyone and even threatened me…"

"Bork!" Hiccup said in a scolding voice, "You know something is bound to go wrong when you ask the person not to talk! And you know she wouldn't really hurt you, I wouldn't let her. Now, where is she?" Bork gulped again looking to the sides in a nervous way. Hiccup's heart sank. "Don't tell me she went after the Outcasts. Please don't say it."

"She said she was going for a scouting mission… You know where…"

"Bork! You should have told me this before! The moment she was hopping onto Shimmer, so I could stop her from this madness!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to, and she is so stealthy and she can handle herself pretty well, so I thought she'd be back soon…"

"Wait, what? She's… where?" Eret's voice came from nowhere. He knew the answer, he just couldn't believe it. "I have to go after her! Windwalker!" Eret called his Thunderdrum and the green dragon quickly came, but before he could jump onto him, Hiccup grabbed his arm.

"You're not going!"

"What! We need to help her, for crying out loud! She must be in serious trouble and stranded there without Shimmer!"

"I'm not saying we won't help her, but she is right. We need a plan to save the dragons and now her as well." He reasoned, "She was right when she told me we just couldn't barge in and take the dragons from there; we need a really clever plan that will have to work out. But if you go right now, you're gonna be nothing more than a huge headache for me to handle. I need you here now so I can think of something for you to do to help her. Besides, if you try to go again, Toothless will stop Windwalker from flying."

And Eret knew Toothless could do that, not only because he was a Night Fury, thus very powerful, even without flying, but also because all the dragons kind of respected Toothless, maybe because they knew he had killed the queen with Hiccup. No one knew the exact reason; all they knew was that the black dragon was revered by the others.

Reluctantly, Eret nodded sadly. Hiccup turned to his scrawny friend once again.

"Bork, announce an emergency meeting in the Great Hall in one hour. I want everyone there. Except the little children and their mothers. I want everyone, including our guests."

"So, Thuggory and Dogsbreath too?"

"Yes."

"Ok." Bork agreed and walked away to do what he was told.

Hiccup went back to his house to grab the maps and papers he used to sketch his plans. He was feeling very bad now, not physically speaking, his wound barely hurt anymore, but he was beyond upset about it.

He knew Camicazi was a bit crazy, she had always been. But to do something like this was crossing the line between courage and stupidity. And that wasn't like Cami at all. Despite being a bit crazy, she had always been a smart girl. Not the kind of smart Hiccup or Bork was, but the kind of smart that usually thought things through before acting.

He was gathering all his stuff when a knock hit his door and Astrid came in, grinning.

"Hey, guess what? Stormfly and I were flying and we found Snotlout and Heather up too, she was helping him, almost like she was giving him flying lessons, though on separate dragons. It was so funny… hum… what's wrong?" She asked noticing the sad expression on his face. He sighed heavily.

"It's Cami. Apparently, she went out for a scouting mission on Outcast Island and only Shimmer returned…"

"Does that mean…" She started but was cut off by him.

"Yes. She's there and I bet they have her or else Shimmer would have stayed with her. I'm going to have to change plans. There's no time to advise a long, well thought out plan. We need to do something immediately."

"What about what you told me? You wanted to explore there before attacking, right?"

"We don't have time for it anymore. Alvin is mean and he wants something from me and he might use her and maybe even hurt her to get what he wants. The longer she stays there, the higher probability is that he might do something to her. I can't let that happen, I promised Bertha I'd protect her. And I would even without promising because she's like a sister to me…"

He said more to himself than to her, running a nervous hand though his auburn hair. Astrid had never seen him so lost and defeated, even when he lived on Berk. Maybe because he was used to being disappointed for never being who everyone wanted him to be. Now it was different. He was a powerful chief who clearly didn't really know what to do to protect someone he cared about.

"So… what is the plan?" She pushed, knowing he needed someone to help and guide him to tranquility. On the outside, he seemed fairly calm and certain, but she knew underneath that mask of serenity was hiding a young man on the edge of despair.

"I don't know yet… I've set up a meeting in the Great Hall, but I don't know what to say…"

"Then let's start from the beginning."

"Yeah… I guess so… Come on, people are probably already getting there."

Soon, everyone was in the Great Hall, wondering what was going on and the reason for the unexpected meeting when Hiccup stepped on the table he used to sit at so he could be seen by all the villagers, in the middle of the hall. They looked at him anxiously as he cleared his throat. He didn't really like to give speeches or be the center of attention, but he always did when he had to.

"I bet you're all wondering why I called this meeting. I think by now everyone knows about the Outcasts. Maybe only Thuggory and Dogsbreath aren't aware of it, but they're collecting and torturing dragons to do what Alvin wants to so he can conquer the whole archipelago. We want to stop them and free the dragons. But unfortunately, from what we've learned, Camicazi was taken by them, so we'll have to cut our preparations short."

"And why should we help you?" Dogsbreath asked, huffing.

"I was actually hoping you'd ask that." Hiccup said with an impatient grin, "The truth is that, if the Outcasts manage to control the dragons as Alvin wants, nothing will stop him from destroying everything, including your own village. Is that what you want?"

"No…" He replied in a small voice.

"Good. Besides, we'll be willing to sign a peace treaty with the Meatheads. Sometimes we go for Market Day and you know there's never been a problem with our dragons attacking or making a mess. Maybe we could even teach you how to deal with them. What do you say?"

"No way in hell!" Dogsbreath blurted out, crossing his arms in a very infantile way before Thuggory elbowed him again.

"He meant me. You don't have a say in it." Thuggory scolded him and then yelled so everyone could hear him, "We're in!" Grinning, he turned to Dogsbreath again, "Besides, it seems so thrilling, don't you think?"

"Great." Hiccup continued. "Now, for the rest of the preparations, we're gonna need ships. Lots and lots of ships to transport the dragons…"

"Dragons fly, they don't need ships!" Dogsbreath interrupted once again. Hiccup sighed, mentally counting to ten. This rude, annoying guy was getting on his nerves worse than even Snotlout could.

"We don't know if they'll be healthy enough to fly or not, so we need to be prepared." He explained, "Dad, how many ships we can get from the Hooligans?"

"About 20."

"Garth, how many do we have?"

"Five."

"Okay, then with the one from Thuggory we'll have 26, tops. Let's hope it will be enough." Hiccup said. "And we're gonna need two teams. One that will stay on the boats, or near them, and another to attack the Outcasts and free the dragons. I'll divide you and we'll be leaving tonight."

Flashback 21

Hall and Eira were sitting on the edge of the 'upper level' of the village, days after returning. Their dragons were with them and they could see the whole village from where they were. The cool breeze was blowing softly but the sunlight warmed up their skin.

"Hey, Eira, don't you think Sten is spending much too time with that girl, Kari?" he asked and she shrugged, not giving it too much importance.

"I guess so, but that's normal, right? He volunteered to show her around and he is helping her build a new house."

"I know, it's just… I'm worried."

"About what, Hall?"

"We don't know anything about that girl. And the little we have learned, we don't know if any of it is true or not. What if she's another Heather? I mean no offense to her, I like her and Heidi and their parents, but she was deceiving us and she almost got Hiccup killed."

"I guess you're right…"

"And she did mention the Outcasts, what if they got them and ordered her to say something like that so we wouldn't be suspicious? I don't know, I just think we should take care before just trusting her…"

"Did you talk to Sten about it?"

Hall sighed sadly. "Yeah, but he didn't listen and we ended up arguing… He hasn't spoken to me since yesterday around noon…"

"Wow, that's really unusual for you two…" Eira pointed out.

Since they lost their old tribe, all of them had changed. There were bullies from the tribe that survived that used to torment both Sten and Hall, however, when they came to the Strike Tribe, none of them kept mistreating them; they didn't really speak with them or anything, but when someone lost almost everyone from their community, they tended to stay united with the ones that are left.

And since Sten and Hall were already good friends, they naturally became closer, like family. And if Sten wasn't speaking to Hall and ignoring him for a while, it was bad news. Both were as stubborn as any other Viking and they probably wouldn't speak again so soon.

"Why don't you talk to Hiccup about it?"

"I don't want to bother him with my personal problems…" He said, running his fingers through his hair and she laughed sadly.

"I meant your worries. They're very important and you might be right. He should know about that. I really like Hiccup, he's a great leader, one of the best I've ever seen, which is not too big of a deal, since I haven't seen many, but sometimes, he's a bit too trusting and naïve… Maybe he just didn't think about that."

"Yeah, you're right. Thanks Eira. You're the best." Without thinking, he kissed the shy girl's cheek and stood up in a blink of an eye, walking with quick steps to the forge, where he found Hiccup.

The chief was reviewing his designs and improving them, and it was a few tweaks on the new tail fin he was planning when Hall entered. Hiccup glanced at him to know who it was and then looked down at the drawings again. There were two tables in the forge, one for Hall and one for Hiccup, though the younger's one was a little smaller, he didn't need that much space, he didn't have as much as stuff as Hiccup did.

"Hi." The man greeted and Hall sat on his own stool. "Hi. May I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure. Is something going on?"

"Yes and no."

Hiccup chuckled and left the charcoal on the table to turn and look at him with a playful smile. "Care to explain?"

Hal sighed. "It's that new girl…"

"Kari?"

"Yes."

"What about her?"

"Are you sure we can trust her? I mean, remember the Heather thing? Thankfully it was nothing serious, but could have ended so much worse." Hall explained. "I'm just not sure she's trustworthy yet. Why should we believe anything she's told us? I want to make sure we're not being deceived again…"

"I understand, Hall. And you're right, don't feel bad about doubting. But try to be a little bit understanding too, she's suffered a lot and lost important people."

"But how can we know if it's true. She could be lying. She could be very mean."

"I don't think so… But then again, I let myself get caught…" He mumbled more to himself before he turned back to Hall. "Are you sure you're not just jealous that Sten is spending so much time with Kari?"

"Jealous? Hiccup, I like girls. You know it. I told you I like one specific girl, to be more accurate…" Hall blushed, looking around and feeling embarrassed.

"There are a lot of types of jealousy, it doesn't mean you like him. For example, Stormcloud was Cami's first dragon and when she got Shimmer, Stormcloud, became jealous, it doesn't mean she loved Cami. It's a possessive thing. He's a close friend and her presence changed a lot of things." Hall crossed his arms stubbornly, not giving his point up. By then, Bork was approaching the forge. "Ok, then. She said she was from the Meatheads, right?"

"Right"

"And tomorrow will be Market Day, correct?" Hall nodded in response. "So, I was planning on going tomorrow to by a small chest so I can try to organize all these papers, but if you want, you can go in my place and try to find out something about the girl. All the information you can get. If she's not lying about those things, then maybe she's not lying about the Outcasts part either. Though I obviously wouldn't send you to their island to get information…"

"Really? Would you let me do something so important?"

"Sure. There are a few things I want you to do, though."

"Like what?"

"Don't ask directly about her, don't say her name and don't tell them she's with us. It might be a problem if they think we've kidnapped her or something. The last thing we want is a reason for them to start a war. We also don't know if they'd want her back, her wanting it or not, and I won't have a choice but to return her. Don't try to fight with anyone and leave Freya in a safe place."

"Right, sir. I'll be leaving in the morning, then." Hall announced passing by Bork on the way out. The scrawny teen looked confusedly at Hiccup as soon as the boy was out of sight, Hall was a fast runner.

"He doesn't have to go to the Meathead's to know that, I was from there, I could answer…"

"I know that. You know that. But I guess Hall doesn't. By the way, I forgot to ask you before, was there an orphan girl named Kari?"

"Yes, she was already orphan when I left. But she was living with a grandfather; he was already very old, though…"

"But she didn't speak to you when she saw you before."

"Of course not. We weren't close and she was going through a rough period, she had just lost her parents in a raid. Besides, she was young, only around 9 or so. I don't see a reason why she'd remember me. I think sometimes she looks at me like I'm familiar, but she's not sure…" Bork shrugged. "Anyway I was probably considered dead since I ran away with you during that stupid survival test my old tribe did."

"Good to know, but anyhow, I need updated information. The only thing that I was suspicious about was when she said she never thought of dragons as evil creatures when she lost her family because of them. Usually people blame the dragons…"

"I don't remember the details but it could have been that it wasn't the dragons that attacked them directly. Or that they themselves didn't really believe that and told her they weren't that bad. It could have been many things. And, if I'm not mistaken, you told me that your mother was against the dragon killing practice…"

"That's what I heard."

"It's rare, but there are people who think differently. Sten's parents were pacifists too, right?"

"Yes… Now we can only wait for what Hall finds out." Hiccup said and Bork nodded. "And I also needed him to go so he could get what I wanted, I was going tomorrow, but now, I'll have the day to work on Toothless's new tail." He admitted, chuckling and Bork rolled his eyes playfully.
