Upon getting to the house, Caverna pulled her hood and mask down before she opened the door, and when the door was open, she strode inside.

"Mother, father!" She called out, and then there was a sound that reminded people of a stampede of yak and a woman came through a door to their left.

"Caverna, where in god's name have you been?" The woman asked.

"I went to do what I said that I would." She told her, gesturing to the group behind her. "I went to get help."

"Your father and I have been worried sick."

"I know, and I'm sorry that I've been away for longer than I promised, but I had to be, she was hurt."

"Oh that infernal dragon, she will get you into trouble one day." The woman told her, and before Cavern could reply, she cut her off, looking at the people with her. "Hello, I'm Helena."

"Hello Helena, I'm Stoick, and this is my son Hiccup and his girlfriend Astrid, and their friends Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut and Tuffnut." Stoick told her, gesturing to each of the teens as he said their name.

"Stoick the Vast, it's been a while since I've heard your gruff voice."

The noise came from a man, who was tall like Stoick as well as bulky, but with dark brunette hair and a thick beard.

"Ah, Brock, Caverna told me that you were having some troubles."

"Nothing that we can't handle."

"Hah!" Caverna told him. "That's your stupidest lie yet."

"Caverna, enough, now take your other friends to meet your sister." Helena told her, watching her daughter bow her head and lead the rest of the teens down a flight of stairs to a door, and once she was told to come in, she led them into the room.

Inside, the room was plain, with a bed, chest of drawers, a shelf which held a small range of books and there was a girl stood by the window.

"Sister, I'm home." Caverna spoke. "I've brought some people who have come to help us."

At hearing the voice, the girl turned around, showing a heavily pregnant and young girl, who looked no older than sixteen, with dark flowing hair and a pretty face which held both childish features yet looked filled by the late stage of pregnancy that she was obviously experiencing.

"Caverna, mother and father had been worried sick." She scolded her obviously older sister.

"I know, and I'm sorry, but I have people who are here to help the village." She gestured to the group. "This is Hiccup, Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut and Tuffnut." She gestured to each person in turn.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Astrid smiled. "Your older sister told us a lot about you."

The girl nodded. "I bet she didn't tell you my name though." She laughed as everyone went quiet in slight guilt. "My name is Eleanor."

The group spent most of the night talking to Eleanor and they kept her company throughout the night, before they all had to go to bed, with Caverna showing everyone to their rooms, the twins sharing a room, Hiccup and Stoick shared a room, and so did Fishlegs and Snotlout, whilst Astrid shared a room with Caverna. For once they all shared a decent night sleep, except for Caverna who remained sitting by the door to keep an ear out for any sounds of an attack.

Meanwhile, down in the dragon stable, Toothless and Snowcap were sharing a stall together, and he was watching her as she pulled straw closer to her, in order to make a bed.

"Toothless?"

"Yes Snowcap?" He asked, looking over at her.

"I know this is weird, but have you ever mated with anyone before?" She asked, her cheeks gaining a red blush.

"No I haven't...Why?"

"Oh, um no reason, I was just, um, it doesn't matter." She moved to lie down on her pile of straw, and she watched Toothless lie down across the stall from her.

"Can you lie over here with me?" She asked him quietly and sheepishly as she looked over at him.

"Is that what you want?" He asked, and at her nod, he got up and wandered over to him, moving to lie behind her and he put his head next to hers, resting a wing over her. At feeling his wing go over her she gave a smile that he couldn't see, but she also leant into him, snuggling close as they both fell into a comfortable sleep. Meanwhile, in the pen which held Eridor's Nadder, Lightning, and Stormfly, they were both on different sides of the pen grooming themselves, almost refusing to so much as look at each other. Although, in the end, it was Stormfly who started a conversation with the male Deadly Nadder.

"So, you and Snowcap?" She asked.

"What about us?" Like Eridor his voice rang with some form of authority and Stormfly realised that out of him and the Nightfury, he was the dominant dragon in this village.

"You two look pretty close."

"We are, she is my only family, besides my rider and his sisters." Lightning told her as he moved to lay down in the straw on his side of the pen.

"So you aren't mates then?" Stormfly asked as she too lay down on the straw in her side of the pen.

"No, I care for her as a sister too much to make her my mate, and anyway a Deadly Nadder and a Nightfury are an unusual mix."

"That is true." Stormfly mused, before she looked over the dragon's body, and she saw the numerous amounts of scars he had that were left over from the cuts and bites that he had been given throughout his life. "Where did you get those?"

Lightning looked down at his scars, before he looked at her. "The man who comes here, has an army each one has a dragon, I defend my family and my home, the scars are trivial." He seemed to just shrug them off like they were nothing.

"Well don't worry, you have me, my friends and our riders here now, we will help you and your riders defend your home." Stormfly promised as she laid her head down and slowly fell asleep, still watching the Deadly Nadder who seemed to interest her very much.
