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

Sawbite watched his rider/owner train with Rose as the Screaming Death coiled around a tree and growled as the fight ended in a draw.

"This is beginning to come to a close." Havak said before Rose nodded and sat down on a log.

"I have a question, why did those Whispering Deaths and the other Screaming Death that Alvin put here attack Berk anyway? We haven't done anything to harm them." Havak nodded and sat down before speaking.

"It's because they were confused and scared…. I have a theory, those Whispering Deaths and even that other Screaming Death my brother and the others fought were born to a Whispering Death… Screaming Deaths aren't born to Screaming Death parents, they all share one mother." Rose looked at her boyfriend in shock.

"You think looking for her?" Havak nodded.

"Screaming Deaths aren't entirely monstrous killers, look at Sawbite for example, I think their only hunting to find her and I think Alvin has their mother…. It is just one more reason to take them down for good." Rose nodded as she rested her head on the Haddock boy's shoulder as he laughed and hugged her close.

Outcast island

"Blasted Dragon Riders. First, they destroy my raiding parties and kill some of my men, before that, they drive off the Whispering and Screaming Deaths…. And now they are going to attack and wipe us all out!" He turned on Dagur and marched up to him.

"This is all your fault, if we didn't waste men and resources trying to find out about the Haddock Boy's Dragons we would still have enough resources to destroy them both!" Dagur growled and got in the Outcast Chieftain's face.

"No, this is your fault! If your men and tactics weren't so blasted useless, we would have captured them both and destroyed Berk by now!" Mildew slammed his staff down in anger.

"ENOUGH! This all of our faults, I didn't realize how skilled the boys were and I didn't realize how powerful their blasted, super rare Dragons were, we will take both out but for now, hold your tongues." Both leaders looked at each other and growled in annoyance.

"I will think of something, just don't blame me for this." Both leaders said as they huffed and walked away to plan their own plans. Alvin growled under his breath.

"That boy escaped from Outcast island once…. He won't do it again.

Berk, two days later.

Hiccup walked into his house and sighed as he passed his brother siting in one of the chairs.

"We both know what will happen if we talk about the issue but we can't let the dragon in the room walk by without addressing it." Havak said as Hiccup got annoyed and sat in another chair across from him.

"Yeah? Well then, let's talk about all destruction that you and Rose have caused in your little campaign." Havak whipped his head around.

"Oh, you mean fighting the war you don't want to fight? Or do you mean the time Dagur found out about Toothless and now wants both of our heads, I shouldn't have to remind you about the efforts Alvin is making to capture one or both of us? He took you to Outcast island to train Dragons to attack Berk and you still want to try and play peace maker?" Hiccup got up and into his brother's face.

"Yes, because if Dragons can change, people can as well." Havak shook his head.

"I heard you found the identity of the true ringleader, I will make you a deal, brother…. Even if I'm adopted or not… Tell me who their ringleader is and I will take him out and drop the issue, heck, I might even say your right." Hiccup stormed out of the room.

"Have it your way, brother." Havak said as he rubbed his head before walking out the door as Stoick sighed and watched from the other room.

"Where did my family go." The Chieftain said before signing and walking into the other room as he passed a portrait of him, Hiccup and Havak all smiling.

Author notes

Ok, I think this arc may have to be 15 chapters and not 20. Also, I didn't show Hiccup getting off Outcast island because it happened basically the same way that it did in the show and Havak just happened to hear about it…. I may post another chapter today or might do it tomorrow. Until next time, Lighting Knight out!
