(Chapter Twenty-Three)
(Tirdas 14th) (With Hiccup)
Today was the day that Hiccup was going to be able get back to training with Draco. Since the past couple of days he's been busy but now he has the free time to train him, at least he hopes. Yesterday before going back to his camp he said that he need to be at the arena tomorrow morning which he was already there but he was probably a little too early since Draco wasn't here yet.
He hasn't been waiting long though, he just got there so, for the time being he'll just draw in his journal that he carries around with him wherever he goes just in case.
He looks down at the bag that was at his waist, openining it pulling the journal out taking it into his free hand while using the other too close the flap of the bag. He sits down leaning upagainst the wall of the arena. He opens the journal too a blank page and began to draw.
The first thing that came too mind was the dragon that he saw that was at the cove that Draco was staying. Yea, he knows that it's Dracos dragon but what kind it is that's what he was interested in. He began to draw the dragons body followed by the head, then tail along with the spines that covered its back.
While drawing the dragon he began too see some resemblance to a dragon that was in the book of dragons. But this one was bigger then the ones he's seen, at least in the book. Anything could be possible though since they saw a huge Monsterous Nightmare before and the dragon that he has seems to be a bigger version of a kind of dragon but which one?
Once he was finished with the dragon he took a really good look at it before he realized that it looks awfully like a Skrill. With the way he drew it, it really does look like the Skrill but if that's what it is then Draco's dragon is one of the deadliest dragons next too the Night Fury, that Berk has ever known but they've never seen one before.
Wait, now looking back on it he remembered when he was watching the dragon and the dragon fired at him. He didn't notice it at first but now that he's thinking about it. It shot lighting at him, not fire. Only one dragon as of right now is known to fire lighting and that IS a Skrill.
He couldn't believe it. A Skrill on Berk, and someone rides it like a horse. A Skrill is worth a lot and if someone were too kill it they would be the best viking alive but if he were to go up and tell his father about it he wouldn't believe him.
But he wouldn't do that, especially after Draco warninig him that if he were to tell anyone about it he would hunt him down. Which in all honesty hhe doesn't want, he's already being picked on here on Berk, he surely doesn't want too make an enemy out of a guy that rides a dragon.
"What do we have here?" a feminine voice pulled his attention away from the book. It was Astrid.
"A-Astrid, Astrid, hey Astrid, hi, w-what are you doing here?" he stuttered quickly putting away the book.
"I'm here to teach my class, what are you doing here?" she asked folding her arms.
"I'm here to train with Draco"
"I guess it can't be he;ped, just stay out of my way" she turns walking away. Hiccup watched with admiration.
'I should just give up' he thought looking down at his now closed journal. He picks up the journal about too open it again but when he heard Astrid's voice. Looking up he sees that she was talking to Draco which was accompanied by his three friends.
Draco looked in the direction of where Astrid was pointing at. When he saw Hiccup they began walking towards him. Hiccup quickly got up onto his feet.
"Hiccup, I see you're early, like always. It doesn't matter, I would like to introduce you too my friends, this is Triss, Ciri, and Geralt, guys, this is Hiccup" Hiccup looks at the three and notice that the one called Ciri was staring at him as if she's trying too read him.
"I can see why his people call him weak" Triss slaps her on the shoulder.
"Don't say it like that"
"What, I wasn't the one calling him weak, I'm just saying" Triss slaps her shoulder again.
"Would you stop"
"Fine"
Draco was looking at them the whole time they argured waiting for them to be quiet and when they did he turns his attention back on Hiccup "They're here too help out with your training, Ciri and Geralt, Triss is here just too watch" Triss lets out a huff.
Hiccup looks at the two. They were all geared up with the clothing they wore when they arrived. Both of them were carrying two swords as well as Draco. He was carrying the sword that was given too him as well wearing the armor they gave him.
"But first I need too let you know that this session won't last too long since Astrid has her class too and I got things too do, so it won't be as long as the normal sessions" Hiccup nods his head understanding the situation.
"Ok, Ciri (looks over to Ciri) you're going to be training him today" she nods her head.
"Ok, follow me" Hiccup did as she said and followed the girl to the middle of the arena.
The other three head over to the edge of the arena to stay out of their way while they train. Honestly Draco thinks this would be a little bit easier for Hiccup if he let someone not as strong but stronger then Hiccup train then him since he's a little too strong for Hiccup.
"Do you think it's a good idea to have Ciri train him, you know how she is" Triss asks having him recall the time he let Ciri train Raven but went a little too hard on her.
"Not sure, but we're going to find out"
The three watched as the session between Hiccup and Ciri began. What they didn't know was that Astrid and the kids were watching as well. It was weird too see someone else training the guy besides Draco and it's weird too see her using a different fighting style then Draco. She wonders what other styles of fighting are out there.
She knows that there's a lot but she's never seen anyone else use them on Berk. Yes the commen traders have their fair share of different people with different fighting styles but not like these. Draco's fighting style almost looks like he uses his sword or what ever weapon differently. The ashened hair women keeps the sword behind her while a hand stays up front which is strange.
But the other two she hasn't seen fight yet so she doesn't know what kind of fighting styles they use but the ashened hair male probably does the same as the women. Astrid and the kids watched from the stands.
"Could we be trained like that?" Astrid looks at the young boy that was sitting next to her.
"Maybe but not now, you still need to learn the basics" the kids groaned.
Fifthteen minutes has passed and just like Draco said they wasn't going to be using the arena for too long. Draco, Triss, and Geralt walk up to the tired Hiccup but this time he was still standing while Ciri on the other hand didn't seem tired at all.
"How was he?"
"You tell me, you were watching"
Draco looks at Hiccup "He seemed to be getting a little better but he still needs to learn how to maintain his stamina"
"It looks like he's using most of his stamina trying to swing as if the weapon is heavy" Triss explains.
"Maybe he could make a lighter weapon?" Ciri suggests.
"That's not a bad idea but lets talk more after we leave, Astrid can start her class" Draco was looking pass Ciri. Everyone followed and saw Astrid and the kids standing at the entrance waiting for them to clear out.
Draco and friends plus Hiccup walked over to the exit of the arena passing by the kids and Astrid. Ciri and Triss waved at the kids as they passed which they waved back. Draco stopped for a second to say something to Astrid "Don't go teaching these kids anything dangerous " he was joking of course. Astrid rolled her eyes but not in an annoyed way.
Hiccup did his best to stay in between everyone so he doesn't run into Astrid. Luckily he was able too do just that but before she was completely out of sight he took a glance back at her before turning away.
"Hiccup" Draco's voice startled Hiccup.
"Y-Yes?"
"I'm going to have you do something, when you have time I want you to try to find a way to make that weapon lighter if possible, if you can't don't worry about it" Hiccup nods his head.
"Is it possible to make a weapon lighter then the one you have?" Ciri asks.
"Yes but it depends on the material you'll use"
"What kind of material do you need to do that?"
"Not sure, there's some metals in this world that are lot lighter then what I used for my sword"
"I-I'll find something out" Draco and friends look at Hiccup.
"You don't need to be nervous around us you know" Ciri says.
"Ciri" Triss whispers into her ear explaining to her again why he's like this.
"Oh, never mind, I forgot"
"Draco!" Stoick called out walking in their direction.
"Stoick, what are you doing here?"
"Draco, I need you and your friends to follow me down to the docks, a ship is docked there and the people are asking for you" Stoick explains. Draco looked confuse but followed him anyways.
"Why didn't the horn go off?"
"I told the men that would rotate to ignore ships unless otherwise" that wasn't a good idea. At least to Draco.
"Can you tell me what this people look like?" Draco asks.
"One of them is small while the other is tall at least a little taller then you, they had a weird accent, the tall one was male while the small one was female" that took him off guard a little bit.
"Are they carrying weapons?"
"Yes, one had a bow, strange looking one, the other one was carrying a great sword, as well strange looking" these descriptions were sounding a lot like Raven and Sal, but them actually finding him was small so he can't get his hopes up.
It didn't take long for them to reach the path that leads down to the docks. From where they're at they could see the ship that Stoick was talking about. It was a strange ship one that he hasn't seen before but the people that were standing near the plank of the ship were making his heart beat faster.
"Isnt that?" Ciri whispers trying too get a better look at the people down at the docks but with how they're positioned it was hard to tell.
There were a couple of the villagers at the docks as well but this time instead of standing there staring they were still working with what they're doing. Gobber was the only one that wasn't doing anything besides waiting for them.
When they finally reached the bottom of the path now on the docks they were greeted by Gobber "I see that ya got 'im" Stoick nods.
Gobber looks at Draco "They're ova there" Draco looks down at the end of the dock and saw the two people that were asking for him. They haven't seen him yet but upon getting a better look at them he couldn't believe what he wasseeing.
He walks down the docks not sure if he should say something to get their attention or not. But it didn't seem like he had too since they turned in his direction. It was them, it was Sal and Raven. Raven was the first to make a move running up to him engulfing him in a hug. Sal was next to come up placing a hand on his shoulder.
"H-How did you guys find me?" Draco stuttered hugging Raven back.
"Johann found us, lucky enough we were in Windhelm when he arrived" Sal explained.
"Ich hatte Angst, dass wir dich nicht finden würden" Draco looks at Sal "What did she say?" he asks
"She said she was worried about you but she wasn't the only one" Draco looks down at Raven whom still hasn't let go of him.
"Why are you speaking German?"
"I don't know, it happens remember?" she says in a normal voice.
"It's still hard to get use to that"
"Well tough nuts, I'll talk in whatever language I want" she snapped.
"Same old Raven"
"You know you love me" she jokes finally letting go.
"Is anyone else with you?" Draco asks. The two look at one another then back to him.
"Not anyone we know but…" Raven trailed off.
"You just have to see for yourself" Sal finished her sentence. Draco was confused again.
Sal looks over at the ship and yells "Come on out"
Waiting a couple of seconds a women came up from below deck. She had pitch black hair that passed her shoulders reaching her shoulders blades. She was quiet small in height and size. With the baby looking face he can guess that she's from the east. She also was wearing what looks to be leather armor with a little bit of ebony bits. Draco didn't know who she was though.
The black hair girl walks down the plank onto the dock walking up to them. Sal and Raven separated a little so she can be in between them. Draco couldn't help but feel like he's met her but he knows that he hasn't. It was quiet between the two but that ended when she spoke.
"Dakara, anata wa watashi no imōto to kekkon shita hitodesu" Draco was taken aback as well Raven and Sal.
"Anata no imōto?" he was very confused.
"Rias, kanojo wa watashi no imōtodesu, anata wa nite inai no o miru koto ga dekimasu?" he stumbled back a little. Looking at her a little bit more he can see some resemblance of Rias but can she really be Rias's and Emilia's sister?
"How come she never said anything to me about you?" he changed back to english.
"Sore wa osoraku, kanojo wa watashi ga anata to onaji jōkyō ni naru to wa omowanakattakaradesu" this women was really weirding the three out but they're now not alone. Triss, Ciri, and Geralt were standing behind Draco "Hey little sister" Ciri greets Raven.
"Ciri!" Raven jumped onto Ciri hugging her.
"She's alive as ever, but who is this?" Geralt asks looking at the black haired women that was standing in front of Draco.
"What's your name?"
"Watanabe Hana" that was Rias's last name.
"Hana, since you say you're Rias's sister I would like to say it's nice to meet you but I'll still want Emilia or Rias too tell me themselves too prove that you are their sister"
"Sore wa īdesu" she simply says.
Draco looks around at his friends "Since you're here now I should introduce you to the chief of this island" Raven could be heard groaning.
Draco looks at Raven clearly not wanting to speak too the chief. He leads the group over to where Stoick and Gobber were still standing. They didn't have any of the confused looks as they did when Geralt, Triss, and Ciri showed up. Maybe he's getting use to this.
"Stoick, Gobber, I would like to introduce you to…" Raven cuts him off stepping in front of him.
"Name's Raven, I'm going to be clear about this but…" Sal covers her mouth before she went any further.
"Sorry about her, she has a mouth on her that she can't control, my name is Sal but I guess I should say that this is my sister so I apologize for anything she'll say or do"
"That's fine lad, it's nice to meet you two" he looks at the black haired women that stood behind Draco.
Draco notices that they were looking at her "This is Hana Watanabe, Rias's sister"
"It's nice too meet you"
"Anata ni aete ureshīdesu" Stoick and Gobber look at her confused. Draco forgot that they don't know any other language.
"She says it's nice to meet you to"
"What language is she speaking?" Gobber asks.
"Japanese, a language that Rias speaks as well as Emilia" Draco explains.
Stoick looks over the group "Well, you must have had a long trip here and you're probably hungry"
"Hell yea, I'm starving!" Raven speaks out escaping from Sal's grasp.
Stoick couldn't help but laugh "Then let me show you the hall where we eat" Draco speaks up "Don't worry Stoick, I can show them, you can go back to what you were doing"
Stoick glances at Gobber then back to Draco "Are you sure?" he nods.
"Yes (looks at his friends) come on, I'll show you where to get food" Draco leads his group of friends up the path back to the plaza.
Stoick and Gobber on the other hand stood there watching the group walk away. Stoick looked at Gobber and asks "What do you think of these ones?"
"The two that were waitin' seems to be as normal as they could get, but the black 'aired one, she gives me the willies"
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know, somethin' about 'er just gives me a bad feelin'"
"Should we be weary of her?"
"Yes, but don't make it look obvious"
"I'll take your word, well I'll see you later Gobber, I'm going to finish off my rounds" Gobber sees his friend off staying at the docks to help out while Stoick leaves.
(Back with Draco and friends)
It didn't take long before Draco and his friends made it to the hall. When they entered the hall they say that there were only a couple of people in there the twins being one of them along with Fishlegs. The twins and Fishlegs noticed them.
"Those three are staring" Raven states.
"You've said that every time someone would stare as we were walking here" Sal comments.
"It's annoying can you blame me"
"No, but you don't have to keep saying it"
"I forgot how much these two argued" Ciri says aloud.
"I may not have known them long but I can see what you're talking"
Raven turns to the girls "Isnt it natural to argue with your brother?" she asks.
"Yes but you argue a little too much"
Raven turns to Draco whom has stopped at the table that they were going to sit at and asks "Do we argue a lot?"
"Yes" he answers not turning his head.
She let out a huff as she sat down between Ciri and Sal which were sitting across Draco, Geralt and Triss. Raven looked around the hall noticing that it was quite large but what she was really looking for was the food that the chief was talking about.
"So, where's the food?"
"We have to go get it, Sal and I will do that, Geralt you want to come with us?" Geralt does a quick nod before standing up to follow Sal and Draco leaving the girls to themselves.
"So Raven, Draco told us what happened back in Skellige, but I was wondering how it happened, how did you get caught?" Ciri asks quickly getting on the top she's been wanting to know for a while.
"Oh that, yea, the guy was bigger then me and was able to pick me up, sucks being small" Ciri and Triss look at her waiting too see if there's more to the story. When she didn't say anything else Ciri speaks.
"That's it? He was big and he picked you up?" Raven nods.
"Yep, and before you say anything I didn't know it so I couldn't fight back before it was too late, luckily Nima was with us at the time, her high senses are something"
"About that, we have to be quiet about mentioning stuff like magic and stuff like Nima, that's what Draco told us" Ciri explains in a whisper.
"Why?"
"Because he's worried about what these people will do"
"Really? Draco worried, if he was worried he wouldn't have helped burn down the village in Skellige after saving me, he didn't seem worried then, if I have too take a guess it's because he's using this place as a resource" she wasn't far off.
"He did say that too but that's because Galaxy's hurt" Raven jumped.
"Wait! How!?" she said a little too loud gaining those in the halls attention. Ciri shushed her.
"Would you be quiet, yes he got shot down while they were helping this village out with a dragon raid" Ciri explains.
"I told Draco that I could try too heal him but he said not too" Triss still didn't understand why.
"How come?" Triss shrugs her shoulders.
"He said that it won't do enough to fix it?" that didn't make sense too any of them.
"What got hurt?"
"His wing, it tore"
"Oh, yea, your magic won't work on that, his wings will have to heal on his own, if your were too use magic on his torn wing it would've come out oddly" Raven explains.
"Oddly what do you…" Ciri didn't get to finish since Geralt, Sal, and Draco came back with their food.
They handed each girl a plate of food and a mug of mead or water in Raven case. She's not a big fan of mead so she would've preferred water if mead was the only thing they had, but if there was any other alcohol she would've gone for that.
"Not a huge variety huh?" Raven asks looking at the food with questionable eyes.
"Sadly no, this place is kind of in a bad state for food due to the dragon raids" Sal explains sitting down.
"Dragon raids?" Draco nods.
"Yes, this place has been raided by dragons for a long time, supposably there's a nest not far from here and that's where all of the dragons are coming from, I've been part of a couple of them"
"And not too long ago Geralt, Triss, and I were in a raid a couple of days ago. That wasn't all, a huge red dragon showed up talking to him" Ciri explains pointing to Draco.
Raven, Sal, and Hana turned too Draco "Was it who I think it is?" Sal asks. Draco nods.
"Were you able to kill him this time?" Raven asks.
"No, but we were able to chase him off from the island"
"Yea, but not without warnin'" Gobbers voice caught their attentions.
"Oh, it's the old man that was standing next to the chief" Gobber turns too Raven with a slight glare.
"Sorry about her, she doesn't mean any harm" Sal says to the blacksmith.
"It's alright, it's not like I've haven' delt with children before" he smirks which made Raven kind of annoyed.
"So, what do you mean not without warning?" Sal asks trying to stop a argument from happening.
"The dragon said that 'e'll be back an' won't be alone"
"Crap, well this place is do.." Sal covers Ravens mouth.
"Doom? She means ta say doom, yea we know but this is our 'ome and no matter the dragon we'll fight for it" Sal removes his hands from Ravens mouth.
"If you know that then do you think it would be best to leave, we get that it's your home but it won't be once he's done with this place"
"That may be true but we're vikings, and we won't back down"
"No, you're just stubborn" Raven whispers.
"She has a mouth on her" Gobber looks at Draco.
"Yea but you'll get use too it, maybe" he whispers the last part.
"If you lads and lasses don' mind would it be alright if I ask you a couple of things?" Gobber asks taking a stand at the front of the table.
"Sure"
"First, I would like ta ask if you know a way to stop that dragon from comin' back 'ere"
"Sadly no, unless we can kill him we'll have to just try and fight him/ them off"
"If we had Frey we wouldn't need to worry about that" Raven comments.
"I heard about the lass, is she really that strong?" the group look at one another trying to think of how to answer that question.
"Well, lets just say that she's different when holding weapons" Sal didn't know how to explain Frey. She was a complex person.
"Different 'ow?"
"You'll just have to wait and see when you meet her" Raven comments.
"She made it out?" Draco asks surprised but that quickly changed when he remembered that this is Frey they're talking about.
"Never mind, I should've known she would've made it out"
"Anything else?" Sal asks the blacksmith.
"Right (looks at Hana whom hasn't said a word ever since they sat down) what was that language she was speakin'?"
"Japanese, a language from the east" Draco explains.
"That's far from 'ere, lastly, do you plan to join us when we head out to the nest in two days?" he asks Sal, Raven, and Hana.
The three look at Draco for confirmation of what they just heard. He lets out a sigh "I was going to see if you guys would like to help raid the nest, just as he said" he looks at Hana to see if she understood. She nodded.
Raven and Sal thought about it for a second before they answered "Sure, at least we get to see this nest for ourselves" "Hell yea, some adventure" Hana on the other hand just nods again.
Draco looks at Gobber "Does that answer your question?" Gobber nods.
"Anything else?" Raven asks with her mouth full.
"Raven, don't talk with your mouth full" Sal snaps.
"Yes, actually, what's the story behind you meetin' these three?" he gestures too Triss, Ciri, and Geralt.
"It's a long story" Sal says. Gobber goes and takes a seat across Sal.
"I 'ave time"
"Ok, just don't say we warned you" Sal cleared his throat before beginning to tell the story of how they met Triss, Ciri, and Geralt back in Tameria.
(Time Skip)
Once Sal, Raven, and Draco finished the story even though it took longer then they hoped since people started to jump in and ask questions. At the beginning it wasn't that bad but once a lot of people started to ask them questions it started to get annoying. They didn't even realize that there were more people around them now then before they started.
They began to notice the people when Astrid spoke. That's when they realized more people had shown up.
"That was quite interestin'" Gobber comments.
"How long were you there?" Astrid asks. She was standing behind Draco.
"About four years"
"How many other places have you been too?" a random viking asks.
"Three" Draco quickly answers. He lets out a yawn.
Raven yawns right after him "Damnit, you made me yawn" she cursed.
"We've been on a ship for a week, were tired, that's understandable" Sal pats Raven on the head. She didn't like that.
"Would you not (turns to Draco) do we have a place to stay?" Draco nods "Yes, where I made camp"
"You know you can stay at the guest house" Stoick speaks up.
"We'll be fine" Raven quickly states getting up. Sal, Hana, Triss, Geralt, Ciri, and Draco all follow after. The group had too push their way through the crowd that had gathered around while they were telling their story.
Once out of the crowd and out of the hall Ciri took the lead. The group followed Ciri but Draco stopped when he heard his name be called. He turns to see that it was Astrid. She was standing at the door of the hall.
Draco turns to look at his friends and saw that they had all stopped waiting for him. he waved them to go on ahead which they did without hesitation. Ciri was leading the group.
He turns back towards Astrid "Yes, did you need something?" he asks.
"I wanted to talk real quick"
"About what?"
"The one that speaks the other language, she gives me a bad feeling"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean she gives me a bad feeling that's all, I just have this feeling like she's bad news"
"Just give her some time, I doubt I gave the best impression the first time you saw me" he wasn't wrong.
"Got a point, but she just has this air around her, that's all"
"Is that all you wanted to talk about?" Draco asks.
"No, I also wanted to know when we can have that duel, you're better now so we can have this duel right?"
Oh, he remembers the duel she's talking about. The one for her hand and all "Oh, yes, we can have it after the raid of the nest, if that's fine with you" she nods.
"Yes, that's fine, well, I'll see you tomorrow" she heads back on inside the hall.
Draco stared at the door for a couple of seconds letting his mind wonder but came back after a second or two. He then begins too make his way too his camp to meet up with the others.
On his way there he realized that something has been off about her ever since that duel with Snotlout. Yea, he understands why but there seems to be more too it then it looks. He just can't put his finger on it.
He's also notice that every time he sees her something feels off inside him. He doesn't know what it is but it does feel somewhat familiar to him. At one point it felt stronger when he saw her smile or the time when he was talking with her for the whole day.
Could it be….
He shook his head pushing that thought out of his head. It cant be THAT it's just not possible, right? He doesn't know her that much and besides his heart belongs too someone else, but why does it feel like that whenever he sees her.
If it is what he thinks it is he has too find a way too ignore it and hope that it goes away. But it's going to be hard since he sees her a lot. Yesterday was what seemed to make it stronger then it already was. Seeing her smile.
"Draco?"
Seeing her have fun with the kids while she trains them.
"Draco?"
He'll even admit that he couldn't help but look over her a couple of times. She's quite small but a little bit bigger then Raven in both height and waist, also other places.
"Draco!" Ravens voice pulls Draco out of his thoughts.
"What?" he looks around too see that he was standing above the cove.
"Are you coming down or what?"
"Yes, sorry" he jumps down into the cove landing in front of Raven.
"So, where's Galaxy?" she asks looking around the cove.
"Probably laying up against the side of the house or at the hot springs that we found" Raven jumps at the sound of hearing about the hot springs.
"Wait? There's a hot springs here?" he nods.
"Hell yea! Can we go?" she asks with a huge smile.
"Tomorrow, it'll be better tomorrow since we'll have some time tomorrow to catch up with everyone" she lets out a huff but understood, somewhat.
"Galaxy" Draco calls.
Just like Draco said he was laying up against the house because the two could see him poke his head around the corner. Raven runs over to the titan dragon putting her arms around his neck, or at least what she can.
"I heard you got hurt, are you ok?" the dragon lets out a low growl. To Raven it sounds like noise but too Draco it's words but this time it was actually noise to the both of them.
She turns too look at Draco "How long do you think it'll take?"
"He said around two months or so, Hopefully it's not that long, we need too hurry and find the others" Raven's face fell but Draco didn't notice.
"How many of us do you think survived?" she asks.
"Don't know but we all know Frey survived that's for sure" he walks around her going for the front door. She gets up patting the dragon on the head before following him inside.
Entering the house the two saw that Ciri has already fallen asleep but Triss, Geralt, Hana and Sal were still awake talking amongst each other "I see, I'm surprised that you didn't get knocked off afterwards"
"What are you talking about?" Draco asks removing his sword off his waist placing up against the wall where he's going to sit.
"I was telling him about the fight with that red dragon" Geralt answers.
"Oh, yea, that was quite difficult and without everyone it was a harder fight then last time"
"Do you really think he'll bring an army of dragons here?" Sal asks. His eyes were shut already but he was still awake.
"Not sure, but if he does then Berk will fall, I hate too say it but it will"
"Then why not try to convince them to leave" Raven asks sitting in between Draco and Sal.
"They wouldn't listen, they're stubborn and yea, they're vikings after all"
"That's damn true"
"Raven, I swear you cus more then the rest of us" Draco comments.
"I can't help it" he'll have too take that for now.
"Well, what do you plan to do?"
"What do you mean?" Draco questions.
"I mean since they won't leave, what do you plan to do to prepare?" that's what Raven was meant.
"Not sure but if push comes to shove I'll have to use some magic or even Kami (His sword) but I'm hoping it doesn't come to that"
"Do they know about magic?" he shakes his head "No, and I don't plan to show them, at least not now"
"What about that blonde…" Draco cuts her off "Raven, lets get some sleep then tomorrow you can ask me all the questions you want" she sinks down.
"Ok" she lies up against the wall closing her eyes like everyone else. So far the only ones that are still up were Geralt, Draco, and Raven but they didn't say anything and tried too get some sleep so they can get up early tomorrow.
Back at the village Astrid was at home sitting on her bed thinking the same that Draco was thinking about not too long ago. She shook her head, slams herself on the bed quickly covering herself in her fur blankets hoping that sleeping will get her mind set on straight.
