Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Swordsmen and the Valkyrie. Enjoy the 700- word chapter. I don't own HTTYD, DreamWorks does.
Sawbite dug into another pile of fish as Havak watched from a crate across from him.
"Do you ever stop eating?" Havak said as the Screaming Death looked at his owner before digging his face back into the fish as Havak sighed.
"Never mind." He turned his head as Rose walked up to the cliff over the docks.
"Alvin is going to be sending another war party in a few days. I don't get it, he's supposed to be a genius at this from what I heard. Why risk his troops in a forward attack?" Havak walked up and eventually stood beside her.
"He has to have a plan, Rose, we both know he isn't one to put all his chips on the board this early…. Maybe he is getting help from another tribe, warships aren't hard to make and there's no shortage of timber on the island…. Tomorrow, we strike." Rose nodded as Firestreak landed besides Sawbite and the Tracker and Boulder class Dragons began to greedily fight over the remaining fish.
"I wonder if Firestreak knows she's a vain, chicken like lizard." Rose rolled her eyes and slugged Havak in the arm but winced in pain from her failed hit.
"She isn't that bad, Nadders are just vain in general." Havak looked at Firestreak before looking back at his girlfriend.
"What is it?" Havak shrugged.
"It's a theory, I will tell you later if I find out the truth." Rose nodded and layed her head onto her boyfriend's shoulder as Sawbite roared at Firebrand as the greedy Nadder tried to steal some of his fish.
Outcast Island
"Boss, we sent the raiding party…. What if the Screaming Death and those pesky kids attack them again?" Alvin sighed and looked at his warrior.
"It is supposed to be a response tester, if they get to Berk with no resistance, it was a onetime thing. If not, then we tell our partner and he will figure out a way to help us deal with it." The warrior nodded as Alvin walked away to oversee his men.
Next day.
Havak parried the sword swing before bringing his sword down and wounding the Outcast warrior as Rose cut down one of the warriors.
"Didn't I tell you all yesterday, attacking Berk leads to misery." The Outcast warriors were stopped from charging the Vikings as Sawbite flew overhead, Havak and Rose leapt off the boat as Sawbite fired a stream of explosive fire balls which destroyed 2 of the 3 boats as Firestreak annihilated the other boat with her magnesium fire, she landed on one of the boats as her roar scared off the 20 Outcasts on the boats as Sawbite coiled around one of the intact boats as Havak climbed on the Screaming Death as Rose climbed on Firestreak and the 2 dragons flew into the air as Astrid and Hiccup looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Boss, we have a report that 2 of the warriors are dead and the ships are destroyed." Alvin sighed before walking away to report his news to his partner.
"Was that entirely necessary?" Hiccup said as Havak walked past him until Hiccup stopped him.
"I told you and dad, this is for Berk, brother, the more we allow this war to go on, the longer we suffer." Hiccup shook his head as Havak walked away.
"Sometimes I wonder how we are family…"
"ROSE! YOU COULD HAVE JUST MADE THINGS WORSE!" Astrid shouted as Rose walked past.
"It is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, sis, that was a warning, they have one more chance to back off." Astrid sighed as Rose walked past her.
"Sometimes I wonder how we are sisters…" Astrid whispered.
Outcast island.
"That Screaming Death just took out another raiding party and those two brats just killed two of my men, your plan better work." Alvin said to a figure as the boy walked back and forth.
"Alvin, these attacks are but a prelude to the storm Berk will have, I will be making a visit there in a few days…. You will see."
Author notes
Yes, Havak and Rose kill, I am not going to be going into battle details but they kill if they have to. We have 17 chapters left after this and I will be posting another one tomorrow. Until then, Lighting wolf out!
