Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Swordsmen and the Valkyrie. Enjoy the 700-word chapter. I don't own HTTYD, DreamWorks does.
"So, how is my soon to be husband doing?" Havak nearly jumped as Rose looked him over. Havak had grown to be a bit taller than Hiccup, his black hair had been spiked back, he wore a blueish green tunic.
The biggest changes were his appearance.
He wore a helmet similar to his brothers but with spikes lining the middle and it covered his entire head, his shins, chest, arms and shoulders now had armor that was made from Sawbite's dead scales and the scale armor that covered his arms ended in razor sharp, claw like fingers. Spiky shoulder plate armor hung on his shoulders along with a small black cloak his sometimes wore, a Screaming Death icon was carved into the armor on one shoulder. His sword, however, was strapped to Sawbite.
"Don't do that, I could have kill you." Rose noticed launchers strapped to his arms that shot spikes from Sawbite, flamethrowers that shot Monstrous Nightmare fire were on the bottom of his arms along with weapons that threw out Hideous Zippleback gas, along with sword long blades hidden in the forearms.
"Yeah, like Firebrand would let that happen." Sawbite lowered his head as Rose pet him.
"Dragon racing happens and the Haddock brothers, two of the best and most legendary riders aren't there." Havak laughed and held up a note book in one hand.
"Yeah, well you try researching Whispering Deaths and Tidal class Dragons, they don't take a few minutes to research. Besides, Hiccup and me said we would be going to other islands to think about everything and to get some fresh air." Rose nodded.
"Yeah, my sister is looking for him, your still not mad?" Havak laughed and sat down, the 20-year-old tired. Rose sat down as well, the 20-year-old Hofferson layed her head on his shoulder, minding the spikes.
"I would rather research dragons then try and take care of Snotlout and the other knuckleheads, I'm more worried about Hiccup, he didn't want to be Chieftain either. We both talked about it on the way here, no one wants that much weight on our shoulders, Rose."
Havak looked at Rose before kissing her cheek and began to walk towards Sawbite before the Screaming Death flew into the air.
"Sawbite, what are you-…" Sawbite wrapped his snake like body around Havak and Rose, squishing the two Vikings together as Havak took off his helmet before Sawbite squeezed tighter.
"Aw, how sweet, even Sawbite wants us to have some romantic time together." Havak looked up at the Screaming Death as the full grown Screaming Death cooed.
"Thank you, you useless reptile." He looked at Rose and smiled.
"I would hug you if I could move my arms, Sweetheart." Rose rolled her eyes at the corny nickname her Betrothed had given her before responding to him.
"Yeah, sure you would, babe." Havak huffed.
"Great, I get the same name your sister calls my brother." Rose laughed as Sawbite uncoiled at last and allowed the two to get out as Havak climbed onto Sawbite's massive neck before looking at Rose as he sat in the saddle on Sawbite's neck.
"We need to go back, Hiccup is going to be heading back and I need to help him with somethings."
"And then there is our wedding to do." Havak waved as Rose ran towards Firebrand.
"Oh, no you don't, you're not-…" Sawbite flew away at top speed as Firebrand lowered her head to allow Rose to climb on.
"Go get him, girl!" Firebrand unfurled her wings and flew off after the massive Screaming Death.
"Looks like Sawbite is still faster!" Rose grinned and tried to leap onto Sawbite as the dragon dipped to one side and she missed as Firebrand caught her.
"Guess you can't fly." Havak leapt off Sawbite and unfurled two gliding wings similar to the ones his brother used but these were black and longer. Havak and Sawbite glided between sea stacks as Rose chased them.
"You two get back here!" Havak glided into the middle of a sea stack as Sawbite caught him and flew away from Rose as she and Firebrand chased them, the Hofferson girl laughing.
Author notes
I am sorry for going into some detail on Havak's look, I wanted to show a difference between him and Hiccup as brothers. Sawbite is now full grown and the size of the Screaming Death from the show. Next chapter will be when they and Hiccup and Astrid confront Eret. Until tomorrow, Lighting Wolf out!
