Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Swordsmen and Valkyrie. Enjoy the 700- word chapter. I don't own HTTYD, DreamWorks do.
Dagur paced the beach as he thought about the attack on the island, sure he hated Dragons and Hiccup, his brother and the other riders, but he didn't remember either him or Alvin giving an idea to destroy the island, merely attack it. He was pulled from his thoughts by Alvin as the Outcast Leader walked over.
"You still don't know who ordered the destruction of the nest?"
"No, but I plan to cut the head off the fool who did…. Is the plan nearly ready?" Alvin sighed before nodding.
"Yes, the dragon root is being gathered by your men, kid…. You realize the one brat is going to try and kill you for our forces attack on the nest, regardless or not of who really attacked it." Dagur grinned before walking away.
"You know, despite our fights in the past, I do wish he was born a Berserker, he would have made a fine Lieutenant." Alvin walked away, unsure of this war and knowing that Dagur's plan would fail, unaware of Mildew plotting in the shadows as he walked away.
Berk 2 days before Berserker attack
"Blasted brother, I can't believe he let this happen because of his damn decision not to fight!" Havak said as he walked back and forth on the cliffs, Sawbite coiled around a mountain peak watching his owner and rider before sniffing the air and turning his head towards Rose as she and Firebrand landed on the cliff.
"Hey." Rose said as Havak stopped pacing and looked at the Hofferson girl.
"Hey, you ok?" Havak nodded and sat down on the edge of the cliffs before Rose joined him.
"I just wish Hiccup hadn't held off on fighting for so long, now there's a nest gone and possibly Dragons dead." Rose shook her head before speaking.
"No, me and Firebrand looked over the nest after you and the others left, we didn't find any dead Dragons or blood, Havak. That means whatever attacked the island didn't kill the Dragons but took them." Havak looked at his girlfriend in confusion.
"You mean they aren't dead? That must mean Dagur or Alvin want the Dragons for something else." Before Rose could say anything Havak spoke again.
"Me and him…. Aren't on speaking turns right now…. We had an argument, dad tried to break it up, I stormed out and right now we aren't really speaking to each other… Before you ask."
Rose frowned at this, but nodded.
"Sorry to hear it, my sister and i had a bit of screaming match over who was right in the situation, I did say I would speak to her when this whole war blows over. We still have a plan to attack the Outcasts and Dagur?" Havak nodded before standing up.
"It's still going to take a few days to complete, I haven't fully perfected it just yet." Rose nodded as Sawbite flew down and landed near Rose as the Hofferson girl smiled and reached out to pet Sawbite on his head.
"Your taking good care of my boyfriend, aren't you, Sawbite?" Sawbite nodded before growling at something Rose couldn't see and burrowing into the ground.
"Um…." Havak laughed and nodded towards the ground.
"He's making sure the project is behaving…. I promise to tell you about it soon. Now, come on, it's going to be night soon and even if me and my brother aren't speaking still, we are going to need to get to our homes to get sleep."
Outcast island.
"Where did Alvin go!?" Dagur all but roared at his men as he searched for the Outcast leader.
"Seems he's gone, you're in charge it seems." Savage said as the Outcast leader smiled as Mildew walked in.
"Seems he's become unsure of our chances of winning and may want to surrender." Dagur growled and nearly smashed the table.
"Traitor! I can't believe he would chicken out to help those blasted riders…. We need to attack tomorrow as soon as we can." Mildew grinned at the boy, his plan already in motion.
"Whatever you say, Chieftain." Mildew grinned.'
