Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Swordsmen and the Valkyrie. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own HTTYD, DreamWorks.
"Remind me why we need this meathead again?" Rose asked as she flew Firebrand next to her sister.
"Because we have to find Drago and this is the only way that I can think of." Rose sighed.
"Grab the muscle boy and let's go."
"Your telling me you don't like him?" Ruffnut asked before Rose gagged as the group swooped down.
"No, I have a fiancée, Havak isn't some musclebound idiot, he's strong and good at fighting yes, but I love him because he's brave, loyal, kind and caring as well as smart."
Rose ignored Ruffnut's response as Rose listened to Erik rant about getting more dragons before Drago punished them as. Stormfly and Astrid swept Erik off the deck of the trapper ship he was on.
"What are you doing?!" The trapper screamed as Rose grinned and flew Firebrand next to the trapper who was in Stormfly's talons.
"Well, we need to have a chat with your wonderful employer and we need you to take us to him." Rose said
"I would rather die than tell you." Rose grinned as her sister dropped the trapper before catching him again.
as the trapper looked at her before the group of riders and their dragons landed on an island and tossed the hunter to the ground.
"And why should I help you?" Rose grinned and unsheathed the double-sided axes on her back before extending them to their full height.
"Give me a reason to make me use these, Drago won't have to worry anymore, you will be running around like a headless chicken if I have to use these wonderful next axes my fiancée made me for my birthday." Astrid stepped in front of Erik.
"Rose, we aren't killing him, we need him alive." Rose leaned in next to her sister as she whispered.
"I know, I am just trying to frighten him into talking." Ruffnut tackled the Hofferson in anger before she growled and kicked the girl off of her.
"Don't Ruffnut, I wasn't going to touch him." She turned her axes over before pressing a switch hidden in the bottom which opened a hole on the top of the axes in between the blades.
"Now then, will you listen to my sister and talk or do I have to show you how dangerous a Deadly Nadder and their spikes can be?" Eret didn't flinch before speaking as Firebrand growled at the trapper.
"I will take you to him…. Just keep the girl back." Rose rolled her eyes and elbowed Ruffnut in the back as the girl nearly drooled over the hunter, Astrid facepalmed and sighed.
"And people wonder why the Hoffersons sisters prefer boys with brains over muscle covered warriors." Rose facepalmed and nodded with her sister's logic as Ruffnut mumbled a response that neither Hofferson or anyone else in the group could hear.
20 minutes later.
"Starting to wish I went with Havak," The Hofferson sighed out as she rolled onto her back and pulled the fur of her hooded jacket over her Crimson haired head as Astrid looked at her sibling as Firebrand swopped ahead gently enough for Rose to lean back in the harness on the Nadder.
"You are so much like Havak, I can see why you and him love each other so much." Rose spoke something back though her hoodie that she pulled over her head.
"What?" Rose sighed before pulling the fur up enough for her to speak.
"I said it helps that I have known him since we were kids, and unlike you, who thought of Hiccup as a useless boy, I respected Havak…. Besides, you went with Hiccup to go surrender and all that, Havak and me are warriors, we haven't entirely changed since dragons and Vikings bonded…. Still can't believe that Stoick and Hiccup argued." Astrid looked at her sister.
"And you know all this… How?" Rose rolled her eyes.
"I eavesdropped before following you, you thought I was going to stay with the others and do nothing until you came back?" Rose was about to answer before Eret spoke up.
"We are here, land on the cliff." Stormfly landed as Firebrand, Barf and Belch, Hookfang and Meatlugg landed. Rose looked over to see hundreds if not thousands of warships and nearly twice that in men and equipment along with them.
"Really starting to wish we had Havak and Sawbite here, we could use the muscle." Rose whispered as she considered attacking and seeing how many of Drago's men she could slay before she was killed.
"Ok, now we just find Drago and talk him out of his plans." Astrid said as Rose looked down at the army.
"Really hope Havak and Hiccup are having a better time than we are."
Author notes
Ok, I am sorry I forgot the argument between Hiccup and Stoick, I will bring it up in the next few chapter. Anyway, I was unsure of how to write this chapter but I tried to do what I had in my head. I will be posting another chapter tonight later on. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
