Chapter 8 -
The guests started to walk into the great hall , dressed in their finest clothing , Hiccup was still on the ledge just studying them and their movements, none of the guests knew they were being watched, suddenly Hiccup's eyes met certain blonde Viking who looked uncharacteristically nerves as she entered "Hey Shadow, when you going to make your presence known" Clash asked as the he and the other riders walked up behind him, "Yeah, I mean your date just walked in, and she is all alone, aren't you going to make her feel welcome?" Doom teased , "Well let me think what so I say, *clears throat* good evening madam, it is a pleasure to see you again, may I take your coat?" Shadow mocked in as posh voice as possible "ok point proven, but when are you going down there man?" Grim asked curiously "In due time" Shadow said reassuringly before he grinned.
The guest walked into the great hall, Stoick was wearing a large tunic that was fancier that his standard one plus a large bear fur cape, Snotlout simply just wore a different fur jacket, his date (the only other person he was willing to ask) Ruffnut did not change her clothes. But the most eyes were on Astrid who kept her hair in the same braid as she had in the morning, but wore a beautiful blue dress and leather boots, she was nervous because she doesn't like wearing this kind of attire, she only wore it to keep tradition something she has pride in. "Ahh I bid to welcome our guests" Stinger announced as she entered the room walking to a large rectangular table in the middle of the room "excuse me by what do you mean 'our'?" Astrid asked, "Why me and Shadow of course" Stinger relied , "Where is Shadow?" Stoick asked, "He's right behind m..." Stinger turned around and found out she was wrong, "Oh for the love of ... SHADOW GET DOWN HERE NOW!" Stinger ordered point directly at Shadow sitting on the ledge , "Well busted , later boys" haha." Shadow laughed as he dropped from the ledge to the floor as the the rest of the riders left the hall.
"Like I said welcome" Stinger announced trying to avoided staring daggers at Shadow who stood next to her with his arms crossed. Shadow walked over to Astrid "Well, well, well for such a fierce and brave Viking warrior you don't half look bad as a beautiful Valkyrie" Shadow commented as gestured for he to follow her to the head of the table where Stinger had just seated at. "Mother this is Astrid" Shadow allowed them both to become aquatinted as he sat beside his mother. After meeting her dates mother she sat beside Shadow but did not make eye contact with him, the food and drink was already on the table, I first of all want to thank all the tribes for attending and to formally welcome you to our island and as tradition states the heir of the hosting island must make a short speed , Shadow please. " Stinger gestured for him to rise in which he did , "All I can say is the past is what I want to forget, the present cannot be changed and the future is yet to be determined, so I make that my focus and I see the rest of the heirs in my future and I wish you all the best of luck" Shadow raised his mug as did everyone else. Shadow sat back down and accidentally placed his hand on Astrid's as went to grab his knife , both then looked at each other briefly before turning away both blushing.
About an hour later...
"Ok I want to know who are you?" Dagur demanded pointing at Shadow who just glared at him before resuming a conversation he was having with Astrid, "Lascore go at him" Dagur demanded at his guard who he brought instead do date for this obvious reason, Lascore jumped out his chair and ran towards Shadow who only grinned before being pulled from his chair and was being held by the collar of his tunic. Stinger simply just carried out eating not taking any notice of what's going on, "Ok Shadow no playing around just get it over and done with" Stinger ordered without even looking, Shadow smiled and grabbed Lascore's arm and started twisting before suddenly kicking his kneecap hard, Lascore yelled in pain but still went after Shadow who lifted Lascore onto his shoulders and carried him onto the table. He walked on the table and stopped in front of Dagur and dropped Lascore in front of him with a massive thud. Shadow began to walk away back to his seat but Lascore got up and walked toward Shadow his time with knife in his hand, "Look out!" Astrid yelled, Shadow quickly turned and kick the attacker in the guy making him step back, Shadow the pulled his right arm behind his back clicked his neck and ran towards Lascore, Shadow jumped and spun 360 in the air and as he made the full rotation struck Lascore in the face with his right elbow with enough forces that it sent Lascore thundering down hitting his head on the table but he was already knocked out. Shadow crouched in front of Dagur "It's simple, I'm the guy whose going to break your jaw in this stupid contest" Shadow grinned at a shocked Dagur before standing up and walking back to his seat next to a stunned Astrid and he sat down and waited for the night to end.
