Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Swordsmen and Valkyrie. Enjoy the 700-word chapter. I don't own HTTYD, DreamWorks does.
Havak watched in horror as a massive dragon rose out of the water, its scarred hide, darker appearance and angry stare did nothing to disguise what the dragon was.
"HE HAS A BEWILDERBEAST!?" Havak all but screamed as he blocked a strike from Drago and whistled as Sawbite battered his way through the army of soldiers and knocked Drago away as Havak flew into the air.
"This is going to be tough, bud." Havak said as Sawbite flew towards the bigger dragon and dodged its jaws as it began to duel the other Bewilderbeast. Havak spotted his mother as she tried to stop both dragons before they tried to crush her as Sawbite rammed into Drago's Bewilderbeast, knocking the 520 dragon off balance as Sawbite dodged a snap of its jaws.
"We aren't going to be able to stop it, bud, we need to take ou-…."
Havak looked behind himself in horror as Drago's Bewilderbeast knocked Valka's to the ground and impaled it with his tusk.
"No, no, no, no!" Havak screamed as the gentle king died and Havak landed near his father as he listened to Hiccup try and talk Drago down, he spotted Rose, the Hofferson was speechless.
"How could you?" Havak asked to Drago as the man turned to him and his brother.
"You are the 2 Haddock brothers? The legendary riders of Berk? I expected more, now you learn, child. Whoever controls the alpha, controls them all." He roared as the Bewilderbeast turned its gaze towards them.
"No dragon can resist the alpha." The Bewilderbeast's eyes narrowed to slits and the bony spikes on its head vibrated. Havak watched as Sawbite tried to resist and roared in agony, his crimson eyes narrowing as he turned on Havak.
"Sawbite, no, you have to fight it, I am your friend." The Screaming Death launched a barrage of spikes at the boy who dodged them, Havak looked over to see Hiccup was being cornered by Toothless.
"Kill them." Havak dove and covered Hiccup with his armor, trying to protect his brother despite knowing it would be for nothing. He waited for the blast of fire as Sawbite and Toothless launched a single ball of fire at them.
He heard nothing but a scream.
Havak looked over before seeing something at made him scream and cry at the same time.
Stoick, with a burning scorch mark on his chest.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Havak and Hiccup roared as Sawbite and Toothless regained their senses. Sawbite looked at his owner in shock as Havak looked at his dragon in agony as Hiccup screamed at Toothless.
"MONSTER, I'LL KILL YOU!" Havak said as he tore Bone splitter from his back and charged as Rose and Valka held him.
"Let me go, he has to pay!" Rose shook her head.
"It won't bring him back, he will kill you!" Drago laughed and turned.
"Pathetic, onwards to Berk, we burn it to the ground!" He climbed onto Toothless as Sawbite followed the warlord and Bewilderbeast and the army of dragons.
"COWARD, FACE ME!" Havak roared before turning around and crying as he took off his helmet.
"DAMN IT!" Havak punched a rock hard enough to shatter it as he pushed his way past the group of riders.
"Havak, where are you going?"
"To find a way off this damn island and then I'm gutting that monster!"
Hiccup turned to follow him as Rose stopped him.
"He isn't emotionally stable, let me talk to him." She ran after her fiancée as Hiccup turned to his dead father.
"Damn it all! First the Bewilderbeast dies, then I lose my dragon to that heartless monster and then he uses my best friend/dragon to kill my father!"
Rose slowly approached her fiancée, Havak was crying, his helmet on a rock next to him as Rose watched the boy that she had loved, the warrior she had seen as brave, unshakeable and caring, turn into a broken shell as she wrapped her arms around Havak and rubbed his back as he buried his head into her stomach.
"It hurts." Rose nodded and kissed his forehead.
"I know, Babe, I'm here for you." Havak nodded as she kissed his forehead.
"Let's go bury your father and then see how to get off this island." Havak nodded.
Author notes
Ok, the reason why Havak reacted so differently to Stoick's death was because he had just gotten his family back together only for his adoptive father to be killed in front of him, combine that with the fact that it was Sawbite, someone who Havak cared about deeply like family who killed him and it cuts deeper than a sword. Anyway, until Sunday there won't be any other chapters. Also, I wanted to have Havak be comforted by Rose hence why she did things like kiss his forehead and hug him. Until next chapter, Lighting Wolf out!
