Hey guys early update for you
In response to Brayan Mariachi - Astrid did not see his face as the horn sounded before he took the mask off - I will amend it so it's a little more clear , it was late when I wrote that so I forgot to add in that bit
Chapter 15-
They landed in the village and jumped off Marrow, who Shadow signalled to go back to his den and sleep, "Ok listen whenever that horn sounds it means it's important Scale Island business, meaning I'm afraid you can't come in" Shadow explained "It's ok I understand" Astrid replied, Shadow took Astrid's right hand and kissed the top of her hand, before looking up to her a smiling. "Goodnight Astrid" "Goodnight Shadow" they waved goodbye and turned in the opposite direction to each other Shadow walking towards the great hall and Astrid walking to her guest house, she held her right hand to her chest and over her heart, "In someways he reminds me of him, but other ways he doesn't, I still want to see you again Hiccup and tell you how I feel" Astrid whispered to herself, unbeknownst to her Toothless was watching and listening from a nearby roof top, he titled his head and headed straight for the great hall.
Shadow walked into the great hall and felt a nudge to his back he turned an saw Toothless there following him, "Come on bud this is important otherwise the horn wouldn't of sounded" Shadow said as he got onto Toothless back and they ran in the great hall to the back of the room, in which a lever was positioned next to a large gate, Shadow took out a key for the keyhole below the lever, he turned the key and took it back out this made the lever unlock meaning it could be used, Shadow pulled the lever down and the gate flew up revealing a large cave. Toothless and Shadow entered the cave and as they got a few feet in the gate flew shut leaving them in darkness, "Bud give us some light" Shadow said to Toothless who shot fire at the wall which caused a line on the wall to light up thus showing them the path in the cave, the began to walk down into the depths.
After a few minutes of walking they reached a large opening where in the middle stood his mother on her own. Shadow walked over to her " So the others not here yet?" Shadow commented, "They're coming" Stinger said, the ground started to quake and they knew who would be joining then in a matter of moments. A Whispering Death shot out of the ground behind the mother and son it was DeathSpike and his rider Grim, who jumped of the dragon and landed next to Shadow. After another few minutes another dragon flew trough a hole in the side a Skrill, Hel Flash and his rider Clash who took his place next to Shadow, and finally they heard claw scratching rock but could not trace it, they knew the final rider had arrived, suddenly next to Grim appeared a ChangeWing it was Silent Claw with Doom on his back, Doom then jumped off and stood next to Grim as his dragon walked towards the rest of the dragons.
"I called you all here because you are the best of best, you are Scales Islands elite guards and thus must be aware of any dangers coming this way, as such I need to inform you that Helheim's Rage is coming" Stinger explained and all the riders eyes widened in disbelief, "When is it going to hit?" Shadow asked now frowning, "Within two weeks" Stinger said, "But that's just after the tournament the other villages won't have a chance to get home in time, we have to delay or cancel it" Shadow explained, "And tell them what we can't host it because a storm that will be brushed off a a legend is coming, the won't buy it and they will just think we are scared" Stinger replied, "Who gives a flying sheep's head what they'll think, we know what this storm is capable of , as a matter of fact I've seen the destruction it's caused , I've seen the fatalities , we have two survivors of that storm who never deserved the past they've been handed, that's storm took away their mother and their village, you want the same to happen here? I DON'T! And no matter what I will not allow anyone else to suffer because of that storm!" Shadow yelled, all the other riders were in shock never has anyone yelled at Cheifess Stinger , but if someone was to do it they would have wagered for Shadow to be the one.
"You are not the chief Shadow, we will carry on as normal and once the contest is over, and before the storm hits everyone including the visiting villages will go underground to our safe bunkers where the storm won't hit" Stinger explained calmly , "What's about the dragons?" Shadow asked , "Their natural instinct to avoid the storm will kick in and they will fly to a safe place" Stinger, "Right nice to know you have it all planned out" Shadow said sarcastically as he hoped onto Toothless and flew out of the cave using one of the tunnels.
"Sometimes I think he doesn't think with his head as much as he does his heart" Stinger commented, "Well at least that shows the darkness hasn't taken over him fully" Clash replied, "But how much longer will it be before we lose him completely?" Stinger asked to which there was no answer just silence.
