(Chapter Eight)

(Last Seed) (Middas 1st) (With Stoick)

The morning was a blissful one. It's not as cold as it usually is, and he enjoys days like this. He was out doing his rounds as chief checking up on how everything is looking before everyone begins to wake up and get their days started. Walking around the village for about an hour he saw that everything was going well but he fears that it's not going to last since the dragons have gone out of the usually routine and now they don't know when they'll attack again.

After going around the village once he decided that he should go get something to eat since he didn't eat anything while he was at home before leaving. He made his way to the Great Hall since the cooks should already be there and he could get some fresh food before everyone arrives a little bit later taking all the fresh food.

On the way up, he could already smell the smell of fresh bread and boar. He couldn't help but take in a huge whiff taking in as much of the smell of the food as he can but something else caught his nose. It wasn't a strong smell, but it is a familiar smell. The smell of mead.

Upon opening the doors his nose was drawn to the source of the smell. His eyes landed on a passed out Gobber laying on the floor smelling of mead and iron 'What happened here?' he wondered walking over to his passed-out friend. Something else caught his eyes. It was twenty-four mugs twelve on each side 'Was there a drinking contest?' he wondered eyes landing back on his friend.

Stoick began to tap hiim lightly with his foot "Gobber, it's time to wake up" Gobber didn't move or made any kind of sound. He lightly kicks him again "Gobber" he said a little louder. This time twitched at the sound of his name. Stoick then kicks a little harder yelling his name louder.

"Gobber!" Gobber groaned, head aching and the feeling of throw up was slowly creeping up his throat. His eyes flickered open and looked up to see Stoick standing over him with his hands on his waist.

"Stoick… don' be so loud when a man 'is 'avin' a 'angover" Gobber whined sitting up instantly regretting it. He quickly grabbed the closes empty barrel and threw up his insides into it. Stoick backed up a little bit and asked, "What happened last night?"

Once Gobber finished with throwing up last nights dinner and his insides he began to explain what happened "I 'ad a drinking contest with Draco and I 'ave to say, he knows how to hold 'is liquor" Stoick thought Gobber was the only one to be able to hold his liquor longer then anyone but hearing that Draco bested him in it. he just can't see it.

"You sure Gobber, I didn't see him wasted in the streets or alley ways and I don't see him here, all I found was you on the floor" Gobber slowly climbed up onto the bench and lowered his head over the barrel just in case he's going to puke his insides out again.

"It's cause the lad wasn't even buzzed after he left the hall last night, I even spiked 'is drink with that 'erb that Gothi uses to help with easing the pain, but that didn't work, not at all"

"You're saying that he's able to withstand the effects of that herb, I don't believe it, I can't even handle it" Stoick continued "Gobber, I know that his strong, I've acknowledge that after seeing what his done, I know he's from a whole other world then us but I can't believe that he was able to withstand the effects of that herb, nobody can" Gobber looked up at his friend.

"Stoick, think about it, someone his size being stronger then ten vikings, not even using his sword but uses our own and breaks them, he took down that demon two days ago with just a hammer and sword, he's faster then I have ever seen" Gobber took a breath then continued.

"I know it's hard to believe but we know nothing about him or what he can do or handle, we got to remember that, he's not like us, Stoick"

"I know that Gobber but he's human and from what Gothi has said no one can withstand the effect of the herb and we know that first hand, so you are telling me that it didn't affect him then something must have gone wrong" Gobber shook his head remembering what Draco said last night,

"Last night the lad told me that 'is friend likes to mess with 'erbs to make medicine, 'e said that over time they became immune to it, that 'erb must be common where 'e comes from but that makes me wonder 'ow did Gothi get them, She never explained where she gets them" Stoick was wondering that as well when he was first introduced to the herb but he never was told where she gets it. He just knows this much that it doesn't grow on Berk.

"Are you saying that Gothi gets it from where he's from, how could she if she never leaves Berk also we only have seen about three traders the whole time we've lived here" Gobber shrugs his shoulders.

"I don't know Stoick, but she's always been a mystery to us, so who knows, she could 'ave sources where the traders secretly bring it here and sells it to her" Stoick can't be able to see Gothi doing something like that.

"Gobber, I just can't imagine Gothi doing something like that, also I think you were just thinking that he was able to handle it, you did drink a lot, so he could've…"

"I know what I saw and what I 'eard, you can ask any of the people that were there last night, and they would tell you the same thing, we all saw it" Gobber interrupted. Stoick could only let out a sigh.

"Ok Gobber lets agree to disagree, I don't want to hear anymore of your drunk stories, it's too early for this" Gobber glared at his friend but said nothing more. Out of all of the things Stoick doesn't believe is someone being able to withstand a simple herb because he can't handle it. being able to drink Gobber under the table he'll believe but being immune to that herb, no.

Gobber felt his insides coming up again then right into the barrel. This was normal amongst the berkians so it's not really a surprise to see this happening, but it doesn't mean it still isnt disgusting. Stoick couldn't help but want to hold his nose to block out the smell.

"I'll let you get back to your morning and when you get a chance I need to speak to you, after you're done throwing your insides into that barrel, which I'll have to get someone to clean out" Stoick walked away from his drunk friend, over to the cooks.

Gobber waved him away hanging his head over the barrel.

"You look like shit" a familiar voice catches his attention. He looks up and sees that it's Draco. He doesn't look like his hurting neither does he look like his had a rough night. Gobber couldn't help but grumble "Thanks"

Draco sat down across from him even though he didn't like the smell coming from the barrel, but he wasn't going to walk away due to it. besides his smelled a lot worse before.

"What are ya' doing 'ere so early, the trader won't be in till later today" Gobber questioned. Draco pulled out his journal from his bag. Moved over some of the mugs and placed it on the table "I know, but I had something to do today before he showed, also I wanted to grab me something to eat while I'm here" he got up and went over to grab his food leaving his journal in front of Gobber. Gobber was a respectful man but his curiosity was slowly getting the best of him.

He went and looked at the cover of the journal and saw strange symbols on the cover "Memories ahrk Frahzogin do Keizaal" Gobber's never seen this writing before and his curiosity was getting stronger. He noticed that there was more writing near the bottom but before he could see it Draco sat back down with a plat of bread, a boar's leg and some water in a mug.

Gobber looked Draco over and noticed that he was tense again as if last night had no affect on him. Draco noticed this and looked up at Gobber "What?" he questioned taking a bite of bread.

"Lad, what did I tell you last night, you need to loosen up"

"And I did, just for last night, I didn't agree that I was always going to be loosened up" Draco continued as he opened his journal "Gobber, I know that you're trying to help but I don't care how people feel or what they think about me, if my ship wasn't damaged I wouldn't still be here"

"You could've asked if you could take one of our ships, I don't think Stoick would mind" Draco shook his head "I don't want to have to owe anyone anything later on, also the place I was heading would've attacked me due to it being a vikings ship, they're not a big fan of vikings" Gobber now understood a little bit more and it also answered a question that's been bugging him.

"Then it would've caused more trouble then good" Draco nodded his head taking another bite of his bread. The place he was heading wouldn't have actually attacked him if he took one of their ships. He just had to keep up with the story until Galaxy was done healing.

Gobber watched as Draco wrote something down in that same language that was on the cover "Hey lad, may I ask what kind of language is that, I've never seen it before?" he asked. Draco stopped writing for a second then went back to it "It's the language from my home, but only a few people can understand and write it" he answered.

"Oh, is it rare for people to use that language?" Draco nodded his head 'That's because the only ones that actually understand and use this language are the dragons' he thought. After that Gobber decided to leave him to his work and went back to hanging his head over the barrel.

"Why don't you drink some water, it'll make you feel better?" Draco suggested. Gobber glared at him "I don't plan to get drunk this early" Gobber retorted.

(With Astrid and Ruffnut)

Today the girls decided to hangout a little bit for once. Since they're always busy (Mostly Astrid) they don't get a lot of time to themselves. Usually three other girls would be with them, but they were busy today so its just Ruffnut and Astrid. The two girls was walking through the plaza not really going anywhere specific, they were just walking and talking.

"Man, it sucks that the others couldn't join us today" Ruffnut commented. Astrid would have to agree with her but sometimes she's not really in the mood to deal with them. They may be here friends but even friends get on each other's nerves.

"Yea, it does, but you know, I've noticed that you're a completely different person when you're not with your brother" Ruffnut gave her a questioning look.

"You just now realized that, man and I thought I was the clueless one" Astrid glared at her. Ruffnut threw an arm around her shoulder and said "Astrid, I may act stupid when I'm around my brother but I'm quite smart for a Thorston, I just don't show it around my brother or he'll never let it down"

"But you've said semi smart things when you're around him before so how is this any different?"

"It's a twin thing, you wouldn't understand" Ruffnut wanted to change the subject. She looks around looking for something to get them off this subject. Her eyes landed on Snotlout, Lugnut, and Dogsbreath. It could've been a better subject, but this will have to do.

"You know, I've been wondering something, if you had to choose any of the guys here who would you go for?" Astrid gave her a confused look and asked, "Where did that come from?"

"Just answer the question" Astrid didn't know what she was doing or why she brought something like that up.

"Honestly, out of all of the guys here, I would choose Hiccup over any of the other guys our age" Ruffnut was surprised. She wasn't expecting that "So, you would Hiccup over Draco, that's actually not what I was expecting" Astrid stumbled a little bit but played it off to where Ruffnut didn't notice.

"You said anyone here, I thought you meant anyone in the village, I didn't think you were talking about the whole island" Ruffnut slowly nodded still trying to wrap her head around Astrid's response. This then changes her answer "Well, if that's the case I guess I would've chosen Draco over anyone but that won't happen, that guy annoys the hell out of me, he thinks he knows everything-"Ruffnut interrupted.

"How does he think that, from what I've heard, he doesn't actually want to be here and if I was in his shoes I wouldn't have any reason to help people that I don't know"

"That's the thing, he's helped out a couple of times already, so if he didn't actually want to help any of us then why does he do it?" Astrid questioned her friend expecting a simple answer of how he probably feels like he has too or something like that. Instead she got a different answer.

"Well, I guess the reason I would help would be because this is right now the only source where I could get food and whatever else I would need, that's if I was in his shoes so I wouldn't really know why and from how he looks at people, even though he won't physically show it but he doesn't like anyone here, he may act like he does but if it means to make things easier then he'll do it, you should've known that when he got mad at you for the lack of protection to that one little girl" It was Astrid's turn to be surprise. This was totally not what she was expecting to hear from her.

"I-I guess that would make some since, but he still annoys me"

"Who doesn't annoy you?" Ruffnut joked. Astrid rolled her eyes but while doing that she caught something in the corner of her eye. She turns her head to look at the sea. In the distance was a single ship and it was heading to Berk.

"Isn't Johann supposed to come in later?"

"Yes, why?" Ruffnut turns her head to look at what her friend was looking at. She then asked, "Is that a ship?" Astrid nodded her head.

"If that's Johann then how come he's here a lot earlier then we heard?"

"Well, this is Johann we're talking about so, I wouldn't be surprise if he got chased out of the last island he was visiting because of his stories or scamming people of their money" Ruffnut commented.

"Scamming people? What do you mean?" Astrid asked not really sure what she means. She's never known Johann to be a scammer of any kind, at least to Berk he hasn't scammed anyone. She thinks.

"I mean have you seen the things he's had in the past and the prices that they costed, I swear I could find that stuff cheaper then what he sells it for"

"How would you know if those weren't a scam for sell, like you said you could find it cheaper, but wouldn't that mean something isnt right about them or that they are broken or useless in some way?"

"Hmm… you got a point but then we could be getting scammed by everyone, even our own people could be scamming us"

"Really? You really think our own people would be scamming us, Stoick is the one that had the prices approved so they can't be scamming us" Sometimes Astrid wonders what goes through that girl's head.

The sounds of a loud horn went off indicating that a ship was approaching. Everyone that was already up stopped what they were doing and rushed for the docks while the ones that were still in their homes, they came running out of their homes and rushed for the docks.

"Come on Astrid lets get ahead before we get stuck in the back" Ruffnut ran after the crowd, Astrid close behind her.

(At the Docks)

Everyone has gathered at the dock watching Johann's ship getting closer and closer that they could see his form coming into view and it looks like he's waving to them from his ship. Some of the people questioned why he's here earlier then they thought while others didn't care why, they only care about what he has.

Astrid and Ruffnut were able to get to the front before everyone arrived but they weren't the first one's there. Snotlout, Tuffnut, Dogsbreath, and Lugnut were standing in front of the girls, at least they haven't noticed them yet. They could hear the guys talking about what they might buy "Do you plan to buy that mace you saw last time?"

"Yea, if it's still there that is, I've been saving up for the past couple of months and if I remember right, which I do, that the price was about one-hundred and fifty silver" Snotlout took out the coin bag from his pocket showing it off. He shook it to show it off.

"I'm surprised that you were able to save up that much" Ruffnut spoke up gaining the attention of the four guys standing in front of them. Astrid glared at her thinking 'Why did you do that?' it seemed that Ruffnut knew what she was thinking and shrugged her shoulders.

"Well look who it is, you here to buy something as well, probably some new clothes how about som…" he was cut off with Astrid punching Dogsbreath in the nose "Say anymore and I'll break your nose" She threatened. Dogsbreath held his nose.

"Wow, Snot, your lady is a feisty one" Snotlout eyes widened then he looked over to Astrid. Astrid was glaring daggers at him "What have you been saying to them?" She asked in a warning tone.

"I haven't said anything I…" Lugnut jumps in interrupting Snotlout's defense.

"He said that you're just playing hard to get and…" he was interrupted when he got punch in the gut by Snotlout. Then Snotlout got punched by Astrid.

"I'm not playing hard to get, got it, I'll never fall for a man like you so get it through your thick skull" She stared Snotlout down. He quickly turned back around along with Lugnut and Dogsbreath which were still holding onto where they just got punched. Astrid could hear Dogsbreath mumble something, but she didn't hear it.

Johann's ship was now being pulled into the dock by two random vikings. When it was next to the dock they tied the ship to some posts on the docks. Johann pushes a wooden ramp over the side of his ship landing on the dock with a smack.

"Hello Berk, how's my favorite village doing?" Some people actually answered while others stayed quiet. Johann was a little disappointed "Tough crowd" he joked stepping aside for the vikings to be able to reach his ship.

"Before I let you on my ship I want to…" his words began to faulter as he attention was somewhere else and not on the people in front of him. The people that were already on the docks followed his eyes to see what he was staring at. It was Stoick, Gobber, and Draco. Draco stared back at Johann with a semi shocked expression.

"Master Draco is that really you?" Johann asked over the crowd of people.

"Who else would it be Johann" he made his way through the crowd with Gobber and Stoick right behind him, once up to the front he passed by Astrid and Ruffnut. Astrid couldn't believe what she was hearing.

'These two know each other?' she thought and she's not the only one thinking the same thing. Even Gobber and Stoick thought the same thing. Who would've thought that Johann would know Draco.

"I can't believe my eyes, it is you, I wouldn't have thought I would ever see you in the archipelago, what brings you to Berk?" Johann was happy to see a familiar face. Then he's eyes widened and began to look around and behind Draco.

"She's not her is she, that sassy friend of yours?" Draco shook his head.

"No, she's not but I'll explain everything to you later but right now it looks like you're busy and I don't want to hold you up" Johann almost forgot about the people behind Draco. He coughed to clear his throat.

"Um… Right, Ok back to busniess, the way we're going to do this, were going to do this by groups of five, each group will have fifteen minutes then you'll switch out with the next group, the first five up front will go first" he gestures to the five in the front which contain Astrid, Ruffnut, Lugnut, Snotlout, and Dogsbreath. They make their way onto Johann's ship passing Stoick, Gobber and Draco.

Johann's attention went back onto Draco "Now they should be able to do the rest on their own, so what brings you to Berk Master Draco?"

"Stop calling me master, it sounds weird and for the reason why, I ran aground when a storm hit"

"Sorry to hear that, are you the only one here?" Draco nodded.

"Yes, but that's why I came to see you even though I didn't know it was going to be you, I thought it was someone with the same name but this will just make it easier, I came here to give you these" Draco opened up his bag and took out two different letters. He handed them over to Johann.

"One of the letters is for you and the other is for someone that you might remember" Johann took a look at the two letters. One was quite simple looking, no seal, no words, a pretty simple letter while the other had a seal that resembled a wolf. Johann remembers this seal.

"Ah, yes I remember, but I must let you know that it might take a while till I can give it to him, I got three more islands to go to then I'll make my way there" Draco understood, he won't force Johann to stop doing his job.

"That's ok Johann, I'm not going to stop you from doing your job I just needed to give those to you" Draco turns his back on Johann and makes he way back into the village, but he stopped for a brief moment taking a glance at Johann.

"Come by the Great Hall when you're done, we can catch up and I can fill you in on what's happened from the last time we saw each other" he then continues his walk back into the village.

After Draco was out of sight Johann opened up the letter that was meant for him. as he looked over the paper he noticed that it had names and descriptions of what could be his friends. He didn't realize that he had so many, he only remembered four of them but eighteen, he's been busy. After looking over the names he folds the paper back up and put it back into the envelope then into his pocket.

He then realized that Gobber and Stoick have been staring at him the whole time. He coughed to clear his throat again "It's nice to see you Stoick, have you come to look at my wears?"

(Time Skip)

(At the Great Hall)

A couple of hours have passed Draco was already waiting in the Great Hall for Johann to get done with what he's doing. He wasn't the only one there though, a couple villagers were in there to, actually not a couple, a pretty good number of villagers were in here. Since they're here that means he should be done by now.

Draco wasn't in a rush though, he had his journal, reading a couple of pages of certain creatures he and his friends discovered in the past. The sound of the doors opening again for the eleventh time so far which still caught his attention. He looked up from his journal and saw that it was Johann entering the hall followed by Stoick and Gobber.

'He probably said something to them, I'm not surprised though this is Johann I'm talking about' he thought putting down his journal. Johann seemed to have noticed him since he was walking over towards him.

"Sorry it took so long, but I'm here now, so how's it been since the last time we met?" Johann hasn't even sat down, and he already began to ask questions.

"Slow down Johann, we got some time, so why not start with how've you been, it's been a couple of years now hasn't it?"

"Two years and seven months to be exact, and for how I've been doing, I guess it's the same as always, running into deadly tribes, massive sea creatures, terribly storms but my stories would bore you compare to the stories you tell" Draco couldn't help but smile slightly.

"You haven't changed one bit"

"And it looks like you've changed a lot, I take it a lot has happened since then?" Draco nodded.

"More then you can imagine, the last time we met we were in the Skellige isles, you were there making a trade route with the locals, right?" Johann nodded.

"I was but it didn't turn out to well, after we last saw each other I went to another local village to sell some of my wears, but they were hostile to foreigners and began to throw axes and other things at me, after that I left the isles, what about you, what happened after I left?"

"Its quite a story"

"I can handle it, I've heard some of your stories before remember and those were 'quite' a story" Johann smiled as if he was challenging Draco. Draco couldn't help but take on his challenge even if it wasn't, Draco can't help exchanging stories with this man even though most of them sound impossible, but he doesn't say anything about it.

"Ok but remember you got to be quite as I tell it"

"I remember"

"Ok then, let's see, I guess we can start with when you have already left…" Draco began to tell his story.

(Flashback)

After seeing Johann off Raven, Sal, Draco, Nima, and Frey decided that it was time for them to move on as well and head back home. They needed to get back to Novigrad to do that though since they don't trust any of the people here.

"Man, that guy talks a lot, and I mean a lot, I didn't know someone could talk so much" Raven commented. Sal, Draco, Nima and Frey all looked at her with questioning looks.

"I don't talk that much"

"You do actually, probably more then him" Sal commented then received a punch in the shoulder from Raven. It didn't hurt him, but he would end up getting a bruise later "Come one Raven, we're just playing with you" Frey jumps in slowing down so she can be beside Raven.

"I know that, I can tell when people are playing or not"

"So, Draco, I know that we are heading back to Novigrad then we're going home, but don't you think we should tell Geralt that we'll be leaving?" Sal questioned.

"Before he left I made sure to tell him that we'll be leaving once we came back from Skellige, also he said he had a contract, so he wouldn't be there even if we were to head back to say our goodbyes"

"That sucks I was kind of hoping to get some more of that wine" Frey wined.

Nima wasn't even paying attention to the conversation. Her mind was focused on all of the strange smells going on here and what she'll do when she gets back home. She's thinking of going to Whiterun hoping to find some skooma from the caravans that are usually ther. She knows that it's illegal, but she's always loved the taste ever since Frey gave her some for the first time.

"Way ahead of you Frey, I had some stored on our ship before we came here so just in case we weren't going back" Frey couldn't help but be excited.

"Awesome, we're going to have so much fun when we get back home" she throws her arm around Draco's shoulders. Draco on the other hand was worried on the 'fun' that Frey's talking about. He brushes her off and says "If it's what I'm thinking you better think again"

"Oh, come on, you got to least try and have fun"

"Your definition of fun is different from mine, and I don't want to have regrets later down the road"

"You won't have any regrets, I know I won't" she winked at him he just rolled his eyes. Frey is never going to give that up no matter what he does or say to her 'I'm surprised that she's still trying even after giving her a taste of her own medicine even though it somewhat bit me in the butt in the end' he thought.

"Hey guys, Raven's not here with us" Nima spoke up. Frey Sal and Draco began to look around for her but couldn't find her within the crowd of people.

"Nima, can you tell which way her scent is coming from?" Draco asked. She began to sniff the air "Yes but there's another smell masking it as if someone is right on top of her or something like that" Nima wasn't the brightest of the group but she's one of them and they wouldn't switch her for anyone else.

"Can you lead the way?" She nodded pushing her way through the crowd with Frey, Draco and Sal close behind.

They finally came out on the other side of the crowd where there was a path leading outside of the village "Which way does that go?" Draco asked Sal and he said "There's a couple of villages in that direction but one of them was the village that we were warned about"

"Damnit come one lets hurry before they do anything to her" They took off running not wasting anytime.

"Are we going to have a plan or wing it?" Sal asked.

"We're going to wing it"

"I was going to wing it from the beginning" Frey commented, and Draco said "I know that's why we're going to wing it since a plan wouldn't work if you wing it"

"Her smell is getting a lot stronger" Nima called out. They were warned of a village that likes to take women and children to sell as slaves or worse, but they would do as they please before selling them.

"I want to make one thing clear only kill those that would try to stop us"

"What if that's everyone in the village?" Frey asked hoping to hear a good answer and she got her wish. Draco simply said "Slaughter them all" she couldn't be any happier. She already had her weapons drawn and ready to kill.

"Just right over this hill" Nima called out. As they go over the hill the houses came into view as well as people standing at the gate weapons drawn ready for a fight.

"I guess they knew we would come"

"Yep, but who cares, they won't be able to stop us anyways" Frey ran ahead of Nima and the rest right for the people at the gate. They didn't even have time to run at her because she was already in front of them. she stood in front of three of them and with one swing she cut them open followed by slicing their necks.

The others that were there was going to try to attack her from the back but Nima jumped onto two of them and smashed in their skulls while the one behind her she kicks his leg snapping it in two.

Draco and Sal ran past the two girls keeping those guys busy while they entered the village and like the entrance there were people waiting for them weapons at the ready "I guess we're killing them all?" Sal questioned but didn't get anything from Draco. He took that as a yes.

The two split up and broke the crowd up in half hoping to make it easy for them to fight when there's not so many attacking them all at the same time. Draco looked like he had about thirty-two while Sal had twenty-three. Draco has fought stronger opponents before, so these guys won't be too hard. It's just because they have numbers that's what's going to slow them down.

He's already cut down a couple of them before they circled him in but on the other side he could see Nima and Frey run passed them cutting down anyone else that would try to stop them from finding Raven. he trusts them to find her so knowing that they're looking for her he can focus on the enemies in front of him.

"How are you holding up Sal?" he called out over the sounds of swords clashing and people yelling.

"I'm holding up just fine, how about you?" he called back.

"I'm good over here, Frey and Nima has already started looking for Raven now we just have to hold these a**wholes off for a little bit until they find her"

"Can do" the two began to pick up the pace cutting them down a little bit faster trying to clean this battle up, so they can jump in and help find Raven, but they just keep coming. Even though they're able to hold them off but with their numbers growing they're getting closer in reach.

'Ok, I might be biting off more then I can chew' he thought swinging at another enemy that got close cutting his arm off then sliced his head off. After about fifth teen minutes of fighting and swinging Sal was beginning to get tired as well as Draco but he'll be able to endure it a little longer.

'Where are th…' before he can even finish his thought three men were shot down by arrows and the sound of clashing could be heard on the other side of the crowd. It was Frey and Nima joining in on the fight "Did you find her?" He called out to Frey.

"Yea, we found her now can we finish this up I'm getting bored, these guys aren't even a challenge" she was cutting them down faster then he was luckily no more were coming out of the woodworks. They just now need to finish these guys off.

While the four fought them in close combat Raven was firing three arrows at a time making this go a little faster. As she was about to fire another set of three she heard rustling behind her. she turns around and saw that it was the guy that took her. He came running at her sword high in the air. What he doesn't know is that Raven had blades added at the ends of her bow for situations like this.

When he got within arm's length she swung the end of her bow at the guys stomach cutting him just a little she then follows it was a stab then an upwards slash. But that didn't kill him due to the blades being small. The enemy backed up a little bit regained his balance and got ready for another charge, but they then realize that everything went quiet.

He looks passed her and saw that all of his people were slaughtered laying on the ground in their own pools of blood. What he also noticed is that the four others weren't there anymore. He began to slowly back up, but he bumped into something behind him. When he turned around he saw that it was Frey covered in blood of his fellow men with a sadistic grin his ever seen.

"Are you the one that took our sister?" She asked in a calming tone, but the smile was giving off such bloodlust. He didn't say anything, so she took that as a yes. She grabbed him by his beard and kneed him in the nose breaking it with a loud crack. She then follows it by throwing him head first into one of the building breaking the door down.

"Are you ok?" Draco asked Raven. She wasn't fazed about being kidnapped so she said "Yea, I'm fine I just wish I could be the one teaching him a lesson, but I think the lesson she'll teach him would be his last" they heard a loud scream come from within the building until it died. They stood there for a second and Frey came out with a satisfied smile.

"He won't be kidnapping people anymore, or any of them for that matter" she gestured at all the dead bodies staining the ground with their blood.

(End of Flashback)

"…After that we burned down the village and burned the bodies to make sure that none of them were still alive" he finished his story. Even though some of it was altered but they wouldn't know. Johann stood there trying to think of what he was going to say. While he was doing that Draco noticed that everyone around including Stoick and Gobber heard it the room became tense. Draco knew that he was bringing more attention to him which also sounded like he was saying that he'll kill anyone that messes with him and his friends but if that's what it'll take to have them leave him alone then so be it.

"Well… um, I don't know what to say but that was an interesting story and that explains why it was like that when I was last there a year ago" This interested Draco "So you saw the village?" Johann nodded.

"Yes, I saw but when I asked around they didn't know what happened they just said that one day they were there the next poof they're all dead and the village destroyed"

"Told you it was quiet a story"

"Yea, it was, you got anymore stories that you might want to tell?" Johann asked interested to hear more. Draco looked over to the big doors and noticed that one of them was slightly open revealing that the sky was an orange color turning black.

"I can't say I can, but I can say that about a year ago I got married" Johann jumped up with excitement "Whoa, this girl must have been special to catch your attention, I remember that friend um… Frey, she looks like a goddess, but you keep turning her away so if you got married this girl had to be special" Draco nodded.

"She was, I'm sorry I didn't send you an invitation" Draco apologized. Johann shook his head "Don't worry about it, I was busy, so I wouldn't have been able to make it even if I wanted to, but I can say congratulations, I hope that one day I could meet this woman of yours"

"Maybe…" he spaced out for a second then quickly regain himself. He stood up grabbing his journal putting it in his bag "It was good catching up with you Johann, the next time we see each other and you're not busy I'll tell you more stories then" Johann gave him a warm smile.

"That would be wonderful, Master Draco"

"What did I tell you about calling me master, it sounds weird to me, but I'll see you off tomorrow" he said the last part as he was walking out of the Great Hall. Everyone began to talk about what they just heard. Stoick and Gobber stood up and walked over to where Johann was still sitting.

"Johann, did you really see the village that he talked about?" Johann nodded.

"Yes, I did, and it was a horrifying sight, the way he told the story was just a mild version of it, the real deal was a lot worse then what he just told" Johann stood up getting ready to head to the guest house to get some sleep before he leaves tomorrow.

"Johann, you said you met some of his friends, are they like him?" Johann got closer to Stoick so that he can only hear it.

"Stoick, I can't say anymore then what you've heard from him, when he feels like talking he'll talk, it may take time, but he'll loosen up so ask him about them then, but… I do want to say is that you watch over him, not like protecting him more like protecting your people from him" he whispered.

"What do you mean?" Stoick asked confused.

"You heard the story, he said that he took on thirty-two people on his own and he said it was easy, also if you didn't know, the Skellige people are vikings of the region, they took on a village of vikings and slaughtered them all, just five people took a whole clan and whipped them out" he took a breath then continued.

"That's pretty much saying that vikings are easy to them, also if you think about it that's probably why he doesn't talk so much to you and your people, you're vikings and vikings were what took his friend, they don't like vikings especially him, the look in his eyes as he spoke about the part with them, he had hate in his eyes, what I'm really trying to say is make sure your people be careful around him and his friends if they arrive to Berk, do not give him a reason to slaughter your people too" that's all he could say to them without making it probably worse for Draco sense just telling them that sounded like a warning.

(With Draco)

Draco knew it was a stupid idea to tell them that story and it might make them back off or even hate and fear him, but he doesn't care about what they think of him. At least they now know they he's serious and if they were smart enough to understand why he doesn't like them, but Johann would've explained that to them if they didn't get it.

He never could really keep his mouth shut especially if someone of higher power told him to speak. Draco was glad that it was a trader he knew instead of someone else. He trusts Johann to do this for him and he's glad about that.

Draco then remembered that he has to train Hiccup tomorrow. He began to think that maybe after the training he'll go to the hot springs and relax for a while before he does anything else.

"Tilro malmindok sahlon nau por, wo los nii?" Galaxy asked. Draco didn't even realize that he was already in the cove.

"It's Johann, he's the trader that I was talking about"

"jul tol hi saag tol tinvaak kung?" Draco nodded. He took off his bag and unstrapped his sword placing both inside of the tent. Galaxy gave off a sound like a groan of annoyance. Draco couldn't agree more with that groan but he's better than anyone else.

"Zu'u aal lost neh hon mok tinvaak nuz nol vir hi guys tinvaak do mok rok honaat motag" Draco laughed.

"At least you didn't have to deal with him, but he'll be gone tomorrow and then we'll just have to wait for the time being, so till, then we'll have to find something to do to waste the time" Draco crawled into his tent after he took off his armored robe.

"Dreh hi lost naan zaak ko hah?" Galaxy asked laying right next to his tent.

"I do but for now I think finding out what's going on with these raids needs to come first, they're becoming a pain and causing trouble to me and the villagers and now that they know you're also another alpha we don't know when you'll get targeted again" Draco explained laying back using his arms as a pillow.

Galaxy had nothing to say to that, but he was thinking that his brother is going to get himself hurt if he does that. Without him Draco won't be able to take down that beast. He rose his head up about to say something, but he sensed that his brother has already fallen asleep. He laid his head back down and followed his brothers lead.
