Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Swordsmen and the Valkyrie. Enjoy the 700-word chapter. I don't own HTTYD, DreamWorks does.

"I see you've been training with your boyfriend again." Astrid said as Rose huffed and turned to her sister.

"He isn't my boyfriend, he's my training partner. Just because I don't want to fight Dragons doesn't mean I can't train still." Rose said as she huffed and turned away.

"Whatever you say." Astrid said as she walked into the arena with the rest of the class as Havak sat next to Rose.

"She still thinks….?" Havak started before Rose nodded.

"Yep, your brother is nearly at the stage to get the opportunity to kill a Dragon." Havak nodded and looked at his sketch book again.

"He won't kill it, Toothless means too much to him to end a life." Rose looked up at the book before speaking.

"What are you even doing, though? You have been writing in that sketch book for a while." Havak coughed into his hand nervously before looking at Rose.

"Mapping out the tunneling routes of Whispering Deaths. There's a certain egg I'm looking for." Rose nodded before suddenly elbowing Havak and catching his book.

"Hey!" Rose looked at the book to see sketches of her and Havak throughout the years, including a sketch of her from that one time she joked about getting her photo. She looked up at Havak as both teens blushed.

"Havak, I-…" She was cut off by the cheers of the spectators as Havak took back his book and jumped off the bleachers, still slightly blushing.

"I will be back In a few hours…. See you then, Rose." Rose barely registered the words as she blinked with the new information. Havak might actually like her more than a friend, she blinked as she wondered how the tough warrior she had spent years training with had been shy enough to hide a crush on her if he did indeed have one.

"Havak…." She whispered before a roar drew her towards the forest as she walked through the forest, she looked up at the noise before noticing her sister walking through the forest in anger

"Well, hello there…" Rose said to the Dragon as the beast cooed.

"I think I will name you Firestreak."

Next day, Dragon Arena

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Havak cursed from the other side of the area, he stood on, he and Rose haven't talked since yesterday and Havak was somewhat unwilling to talk to the girl after the embarrassing event. He looked into the arena as Hiccup was trying to handle a Monstrous Nightmare, he was about to jump into the arena when he heard a voice behind him.

"Hey." Havak nearly cut down the voice before turning and seeing Rose, her arms crossed, standing there.

"We need to talk."

"I will, soon-…." Havak looked into the arena as he heard shouts and looked up just as the cage exploded.

From Plasma.

"Oh no…" Havak whispered before running around to the other side.

"Havak, wait!" Rose said as she ran behind the boy just as Stoick and Astrid helped get Hiccup free as the cage. Havak run in as Stoick turned.

"You knew, didn't you, Havak?" Havak was about to answer as Stoick spoke first.

"Warrior or not…. Neither of you are my sons." Havak looked at Hiccup as his brother tried to get Toothless free before being shoved back. The two brothers looked at each other.

"It isn't your fault." Havak said.

"Yes, it is. Toothless wouldn't be in danger if I had told the truth in the first place." Hiccup looked up as Havak put a hand on his brother's shoulder.

"Then it's our job to fix it. Haddock boys don't quit." Hiccup nodded before running past Astrid, Rose, Snotlout, Fishlegs and Ruffnut and Tuffnut.

"What is he doing?" Snotlout said as all of them, minus Rose and Havak ran to go see Hiccup.

"We can talk about this later, I need to go get Firestreak." Havak blinked.

"Who?" Havak turned as he heard noises coming from the arena before looking back and seeing a Deadly Nadder land. This one, however, had longer spikes, it was a few feet bigger than normal and…. It was Crimson. Rose leapt off the Nadder.

"Havak, Firestreak, Firestreak, Havak. She is going to be how we go after Stoick." Havak nodded.

"Deal, if we make it back, I will explain things." Rose huffed but nodded.

"Promise?" Havak nodded.

"Promise."

30 minutes later

The group of Dragons flew over the see as Hiccup sat on Stormfly with Astrid and Havak sat on Firestreak with Rose.

"I'd ask how Dragons are trained so quickly…. But I will ask later." Hiccup looked down at the massive Dragon destroying the fleet of ships.

"Mother of Gods…" Havak said as he looked down at the Dragon who had to be a few hundred feet with 6 eyes and scales as grey as fog in a storm.

"I have to get to Toothless, you guys distract it!" Havak nodded as Hiccup leapt off Stormfly to get Toothless.

"How are we supposed to distract it?!" Fishlegs said before Firestreak hit the Red Death with a blast of its fire, the others caught on and began to circle and strafe the massive monster with fireballs as Havak looked down.

"You think it's working on her?" Rose said before Havak's eyes widened.

"Rose, look out!" The duo looked up as the Red Death swung its massive tail and hit Firestreak, knocking the Deadly Nadder out of the air and knocked Havak and Rose off the Dragon like they were flies.

"ROSE!" Astrid cried out as she strafed the Dragon.

Havak coughed and looked around like his eyes were blurry, he looked at the cuts and scrapes from the attack before looking around and seeing Rose, her body littered with scrapes and bruises from the fall. Firestreak was unconscious but fine.

"ROSE!" Havak said as he began to drag himself to his friend.

He prayed she wasn't dead.

Author notes

Ok, before you guys ask, Lighting, why is the story so fast, your skipping so much growth and so much of the film…. I do it for two reasons, one, I want Havak to have his own dragon soon and I also don't want to have Havak and Rose thrown into every little even in the story.

Two is because most of the development is for after the first movie, this is more set up to the big stuff right now, in the chapters that cover an arc based on the show and the chapters for the second movie is where most of this development will happen. Next chapter wrapping up the movie will be later today. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
