Chapter 158
Hiccups POV:
It's been two weeks since I helped take down Goliath the Grizzly's forces and the members of Clan Loch and I can describe these two weeks in two simple words and they are 'Chaotically busy'. The reason these were the words I use to describe these two weeks is because I've spent them helping the clans attack the slave camps of Goliaths clan since Goliath may be gone but his men weren't. After a week of nonstop raids on these camps the men running the camps got wise and began preparing for the attacks so things became a little more difficult but it wasn't anything we couldn't handle, especially with my Anubis warriors acting as the advance troops. We ended up saving a lot of people who belonged to the different clans while also introducing new members to the clans who no longer had homes thanks to Goliath and his men. It was thanks to all this I was now considered one of the lands greatest heroes among the four great clans and allowed me to keep Goliaths axes for myself as trophies but I intended to put them in the room where I kept trophies from enemies who now held my respect like Viggo, Mizore and Siren.
Besides that, I'd had to deal a lot of other problems like people constantly asking me about my adventures, asking me to show them my battles again and other such things which I admit were annoying but I could deal with it. There was one thing that really made me angry though. That thing was when people would ask me questions about Blanca like if I was sure she was safe to be around, would she hurt them, what was her species like but the thing that got me the maddest was when they asked how I could marry a filthy snake like her. This mostly came from arrogant people who were originally planning to try and convince me to marry their daughters so they'd have a shot at my fortune. When people like this came up to me however and said those things, they'd walk away with bruises and in some cases broken bones but that was only if they kept pushing me.
Now it was my last here in Scotland and my Aunt and Uncle along with the heads of the clans were throwing me a huge celebration to say goodbye and to thanks me for all I did. I was sat at the head table with my Aunt, Uncle, all the heirs and my beloved Blanca while the rest of the clans were sat at the various tables enjoying the feast. I put a fork full of in my mouth enjoying the taste of the meat in my mouth as I used my third arm sash to pour myself a drink while I enjoyed my meal. It was then I noticed my uncle Fergus stand up and hold out his arms gaining everyone's attention including mine as he announced.
"ALRIGHT EVERYONE SETTLE DOWN!" Everyone turned to him. "NOW THE REASON WE ARE ALL GATHERED HERE TONIGHT TO CELEBRATE NOT ONLY OUR VICTORY AGAINST OUR LONG TIME ENEMY GOLIATH THE GRIZZLY AND THE RETURN OF CLAN MEMBERS WE THOUGHT LOST TO US BUT ALSO TO HONOR MY NEPHEW WHOM WITHOUT WE'D ALL MOST LIKELY HAVE BECOME SLAVES DUE TO CLAN LOCHS PLANS!" He then took his goblet and raised it. "A TOAST TO HICCUP HADDOCK FOR SAVING ALL OF US AND A TO HIS WIFE WHO HELPED US IN THE BATTLE FROM WITHIN THE CASTLE WHEN CLAN LOCH ESCAPED!" He pointed his Goblet at us and raised it. "HERE'S TO YOU TWO HEROES WHO WE SHALL REMEMBER TILL OUR CLANS END DAYS!" Everyone raised their goblets and toasted us making me smile as I raised my own goblet and took a sip before Uncle Fergus clapped his hands. "NOW BRING FORTH THEIR REWARDS FOR THEIR HELP!" I turned to him to tell him that it wasn't necessary but he had a look in his eye that showed me my complaints would be in vain before I saw two men bringing up a large rolled up material and held it up as aunt Elinor said.
"Merida and I worked on this when you left to help take down Goliaths camps so you'd remember what you've done for us."
The roll was unrolled to reveal a tapestry with a person who was obviously me while on my right was my uncle Fergus and Lord Dingwall while on the left side was Lord MacGuffin and Macintosh. Above each of the embroideries that were the clan leaders were the symbols of their clans but above me was an image of Toothless. I smiled at the tapestry knowing that the tapestry would look good in my house in either the art gallery. It was then a Merida walked up holding a long chest as Uncle Fergus stood up and lead me and Blanca to the front of the hall. When we were standing in front of the main table, Merida opened the chest to reveal two necklaces with silver pendants that were engraved with Toothless in the middle and the symbol of the four great clans around it. Uncle Fergus and Aunt Elinor each picked one up and turned to us with uncle Fergus facing me while aunt Elinor faced Blanca. They both held up the pendants and said.
"For saving our people we present the both of you with the highest honor anyone on Dunbroch can ever achieve." They both extended their arms as me and Blanca lowered our heads allowing them to put the necklaces around our necks. "The seals of Dunbroch for your brave actions." They let the pendants drop against our chests making Blanca smile and I, as the hall burst into cheers for Blanca and I as we just smiled, as we were led back to the table to finish dinner.
Morning
Breakfast was eaten, belongings were packed and now my sweet wife and I were down at the dock watching the ships carrying the visiting clans away with them taking possession of some of Goliaths ships since they needed the extra room with the members who were found. My Uncle Fergus waved goodbye to them as I watched the ships disappeared over the summit and smiled as I wrapped an arm around Blanca who leaned into my body. I then sighed and said.
"Now that everything here is taken care of I think it's time we went home ourselves." Blanca turned to me and nodded.
"I agree since although this trip has been lovely even though we had to fight for the protection of the people." I smiled.
"From what I was told you fought with such ferocity and skill the Lochs didn't stand a chance." I gazed into her eyes. "I really wish I could've seen you fight, whenever I see you fight alongside me in the training mirror you do it with the grace that it makes me fall in love with you even more with each strike you deliver." She just giggled and gently lead her and Toothless back to the castle to return home through the portal door that would take us home.
One hour later
We were all in the Great Hall once more but this time we were saying goodbye to my relatives who included my uncle who at the moment was squeezing the life out of me with his hug but I just let out breathless laughter. When he put me down he kept his hand on my shoulder as he smiled down at me and said.
"It was great seeing you again Hiccup and it's nice to see you finally found yourself a nice girl to settle down with." He then got a smile that seemed familiar but I recognize it. "Who knows, maybe next time you'll be bringing by a few more people such as a few little ones." I immediately understood what he was saying and blushed before I glared at him.
"Please uncle Fergus, if I wanted to be tormented like this I'd talk to my parents." He just chuckled before aunt Elinor playfully slapped his arm.
"Fergus, stop teasing the lad." She then turned to me with a smile. "He's right though Hiccup, it would be nice if you would visit more often and it would be nice to see you and Blanca with your own little bundle of joy." I just sighed and walked over to Blanca who was giggling at their teasing before Merida walked up and said.
"Just ignore them Hiccup, they're still pestering me to find a husband and start a family of my own." I smirked at her.
"Well it wouldn't hurt you to try and find a boy to settle down with since you're not getting any younger cous." She just gave me a playful glare and swatted my arm.
"Very funny Hiccup." I just smiled at her.
"Well we better get going since there's no doubt a huge mess of chaos waiting for us at home and I know this because I've been using a Scouter to keep an eye on things." We then made our way towards the room that held the portal door.
"How bad are things?"
"On our island, not so bad but things are getting rough on Berk with the rain season nearly over meaning people will be ready to burst out since they've been stuck inside for so long."
"I'm sure when the doors open they'll be rushing out to see their village again."
"More like stampeding out which is why the end of the rain season is also a busy time for the healers who have to deal with the people who were trampled." She smiled.
"I'll be sure to keep away from the entrance when we get home." I smiled and nodded as we made it into the room with the portal door and walked up to the door as it opened with me gently taking her hand and putting my prosthetic on Toothless' head while he carried the tapestry.
"Let's go home." With that said we made our way through the portal.
Four weeks later
It's been four weeks since we got back from Dunbroch and in that time a whole lot has happened on both my island and Berk. When we first got back the rain season was still a week away from ending so things on Berk were going to still be pretty chaotic while on the island we had a lot to catch up on. As expected everyone swarmed us when we got home with everyone wanting to welcome us back, after which we went to unload our belongings to be sorted later. After that I had to go to Berk to help my father break up a brawl that I saw had started using my Scouter. As expected after the brawl was broken up people took notice of me and demanded I showed them what had happened in Dunbroch since they were all dying to see what happened after so long stuck inside with nothing to do.
After that I had to knock out five men and crack my snake whip a few times at the people to get them to back off so I could actually return home so I could take care of my own problems. When I got back Blanca was taking a bath with Verta so I just left them alone since I had a lot to cover such as spending time with Mfalme to strengthen the bond I had with him so he'd know I was the leader of the pride. Sadly, while I was spending time with him however one of the snake guardians came looking for me telling me that I needed to go over the new training regime for them. Following this I had to check on the crops that would be ready to be harvested in another two weeks and put into the storage room. After that I did my rounds on the island using Phlegon to pull the chariot around the different environments so I could run checks on all of my animals that I am happy to say were doing just fine.
When I got back Blanca and Verta were both still in the bath most likely talking about everything that happened in Dunbroch while washing themselves and enjoying the hot water. I couldn't blame them though since there were days I did the same thing by laying back in the hot waters to relax my muscles after a long day of work. I didn't want to disturb them so I decided I'd do all the unpacking and moving everything to their proper places in the house. The axes I got from Goliath the Grizzly were now crossed over each other, hung on the wall of my trophy room where I showed respect to fallen foes who'd but had earned my respect. Then there's the tapestry, which now hung in my art gallery on the wall and I had to say it looked pretty good and as for the pendants me and Blanca received, they were now in the vault with the various other forms of jewelry I had while the gold I'd won was also in the vault in the separate section.
Once everything was sorted and placed in their proper places I was able to go and do a check up on the house itself to see if there was anything that needed to be done. It was during this time I realized how dusty the house had gotten in the time we'd been away and that I really needed to clean it up a bit. This led to the inspiration and creation of my 'Serving Automaton', which I built not only to help clean the house but also to help tend to things around it and just act as assistants when needed. These automatons had round almost orb shaped torsos with a rectangular door in the center that had Toothless indented in the middle which lead to the inside of the body, an orb shaped head that just for the fun of it received mustaches. They reach my waist in height since they weren't meant for battle but for tidying up and taking care of the Mansion while me and Blanca aren't around. For hands I gave them small pincers with blunt ends to grab things and lift things like cleaning tools or books while their arms elbow joint was made of tough leather allowing them to bend them while the rest were made of the same material as the body.
Speaking of the material they were made of their entire bodies outer shell with the exception of their elbow joints was made of gronkle iron mixed with ruby dragon's breath, depths sapphire and anti-magic stone all mixed together with fusion ore mixed with bronze to give their outer shell the bronze color. Their eyes were made from peer stones allowing both them to see through them and allowing me to see through their eyes while the palms of their pincers were made of latch stone to help them get a good grip on things. Through the door in their torsos I had access to the life stone that allows them to function but also access to the glass jars that had pipes leading from their arms into them. The reason for these jars is because of an ability I gave them in which their pincers bend back fully as a fan in their shoulder rapidly spins sucking in any dust into the jars that could then be removed and emptied of the filth. Along with this ability I'd also given them another ability by lining the inside of their upper arm with yak hair that they could then push into the arm and out the opening creating a duster that they could use to dust things. (AN: Check the steambots on my pinterest page but with a neck and nightfury insignia.)
I tested the first one for three days before I deemed it a success and showed it to Blanca who found it to be rather cute with its little moustache and agreed that it was handy to have around the house. I then built five more of them since it was a big house and it only made sense for there to be more than one or it would take days before it would be done cleaning. A day after the last of them were built the rain season had come to an end and the rain stopped coming down on Berk meaning people were able to get out of the hall and get some sunshine that was once again shining down on the village. Sadly, that wasn't such a good thing for some people due to the fact that despite all I'd done to help minimize the damage a lot of damage was still done with ten huts now being homes for fishes instead of Vikings after some flash floods took them on a trip. Among the huts that were moved was my parents hut but fortunately it was only moved to the bottom of the hill and not relocated into the ocean like some others. Still my dad was grateful for the preparations I was able to put in place with my arrows since this season was the least damaging we've had in generations.
Because of the damage done to the village and the injuries caused by the stampede in the great hall when the doors opened for the first time in weeks Blanca and I were spending a lot of time on Berk. Twenty people were trampled leaving them covered in foot shaped bruises and multiple cracked and broken bones due to the weight of the people who stepped on them. Me and my dragons however mostly just delivered supplies except for Stonetooth who was leading a group of shovelhelms in helping in the construction of the store house and barns that were pretty banged up by the storms.
While we did this Blanca helped tend to the injuries using her knowledge of the human body and some of her magic. The people who were trampled were making a fast recovery thanks to her efforts earning her a bit of approval from their families who were happy to have their family members healed and back with them and in some cases helping in the rebuilding of their homes.
Presently I was mounted on Toothless' back who was slowly lowering a pile of planks in front of a hut that was being rebuilt after the original was swept into the ocean in a flash flood. I smiled as the men working on the hut gave us smiles and yelled out their thanks before we took off away from the hut to collect more supplies to deliver to those in need of them. On the way back to the supplies I saw Blanca waving up at us to get our attention so steered Toothless towards her and came to land in front of her which is when I saw there was a light blue scaled terrible terror on her shoulders behind her head. I dismounted Toothless and walked up to her as I asked.
"What is it Blanca?" She held up her hand to show me a scroll.
"This just came in with this terrible terror and it's addressed to us." I took the scroll from her and opened up before reading it and my eyes widened as a huge smile formed on my face and turned to Blanca.
"It's from Dagur and Mala," She raised an eyebrow. "Their child has been born and they've invited us to the babies welcoming to the Defenders of the Wing ceremony." Blanca's face lit up in joy.
"That's wonderful." I nodded.
"We should head out later this afternoon to go greet the child and congratulate the new parents."
"But what about the construction and rebuilding of Berk?"
"I'll talk to my parents and let them know we'll be away for the day." She nodded as I mounted Toothless and offered her my hand.
"Shall we go inform the chief and chieftess about our imminent departure my dear?" She giggled as she took my hand and allowed me to help her onto Toothless before took off.
4 hours later
It's been four hours since we received the message from Dagur and Mala via terror male and since then we've informed my parents who were happy to let us go to attend the welcoming of Dagur and Mala's child. They did however ask that we stick around for a few hours to finish delivering the supplies to those in need so the construction of Berk could continue quickly which I was happy to do. Now me, Blanca and Toothless were making our way through the portal door to the defenders of the wings island, I closed my eyes as the feeling of walking through liquid before I opened my eyes and smiled at the sight of the defenders of the wing's village. I looked around and smiled at the sight of all the decorations on the huts and the people walking around helping set up things for the coming celebration. It was then I was brought out of my thoughts when an all too familiar voice cried out.
"BROTHER!" I turned and smiled at Dagur and Heather who were making their way towards me making me smile.
"Hey, it's great to see you both after so long." Dagur pulled me into a hug followed by Heather doing the same thing before she pulled away allowing me to turn to Dagur. "We got your message about Mala finally having the baby." He just smiled.
"Happiest day of my life brother."
"Because you became a father or because you no longer have to deal with Mala's mood swings." He just chuckled and rubbed his head.
"Both but I'm sure you're glad her mood swings are over, I still remember when she flipped you through the window of a nearby hut into the pot of boiling soup." I chuckled.
"That was one of the times I was truly grateful for my immunity to heat or that soup would've scarred." He nodded. "So tell me, do I have a niece or a nephew?"
"You'll find out with everyone else when they're welcomed into the defenders of the wing tonight." I was about to open my mouth to try and talk him into letting me know but Heather said.
"Don't bother Hiccup, Mala threatened to castrate him if he let anyone know." I turned to Dagur who nodded while hiding his manhood making me gulp as Heather, turned to both me and Blanca. "So, have you two been thinking about having a child yourselves?" Blanca looked down blushing as she replied.
"We haven't really talked about it but who knows." She turned to me with a smile. "Seeing our new niece or nephew might give us some thoughts about it." I smiled at her.
"We'll see Blanca, we'll see." With that said we made our way into the village to join in the festivities around the village.
Nightfall
I was now standing on a stage next to Heather on a stage with Dagur while all the members of the defenders of the wing along with Blanca were all standing in front of the stage. I looked out at the crowd and noticed that Throk wasn't present but then I remembered he was still running things on the edge since the rain season had caused more than a little damage to the base. I had plans to visit there and check out the damage for myself and see if there was anything I could do to help speed up the repairs or tend to the injuries of those who were hurt in the storms. It was then Mala walked up onto the stage from the back with a small bundle in her arms, wrapped up in a black blanket with a golden eruptadon stitched onto the back of the blanket. Mala gave me a smile before she turned to the crowd and walked forward as she announced.
"TODAY IS A GREAT DAY FOR BOTH THE DEFENDERS OF THE WING AND THE BERSERKER TRIBE FOR TODAY WE WELCOME A NEW MEMBER WHO SHALL ONE DAY BECOME LEADER OF THESE GREAT TRIBES!" Everyone cheered. "AND NOW IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO PRESENT MY FIRST-BORN CHILD," She removed the blanket covering the babies face revealing a cute little face with dark green eyes and a tuft of dark blond hair staring at the crowd. "MY DAUGHTER TERA!"
She held up the baby and everyone cheered as Tera just giggled and held out her little hands making me chuckle and smile at the little one before we were led off stage to enjoy the celebratory feast. Soon enough we were all sat down on at a large table enjoying food with Mala gently feeding Tera while Dagur gently smiled down at her. I smiled at them being happy for them and glanced at Blanca who was enjoying her own meal and began to think about my own future with her and if we'd have our own child someday. I turned back to my meal knowing this was something to worry about another day since for now I just needed to be happy for Dagur and Mala.
Three hours later
I was now in bed with Blanca lying on my chest as usual sleeping while I thought back to the events of dinner after I'd finished eating. I got to hold Tera along with Blanca and I had to admit both holding Tera and seeing Blanca with that little bundle in her arms really made me think about having a little one of our own. Along with this Dagur and Mala asked me to be Tera's godfather while Heather would be the godmother and I was all too happy to accept this position. Besides that I'd also gotten the chance to give Tera her gift from me and Blanca which was a stuffed eruptadon made and stuffed with Alpaca fur making it extra soft. I knew Tera absolutely loved it since she kept holding it while giggling when she first got it and refused to let it go and when Dagur tried so he could tuck her in she began to cry until she got it back. I knew that I wanted to have my own kids someday but I worried with all my travels I wouldn't be a good father but until then I wouldn't know. I let out a sigh and decided it was best to worry about this later since for now I just needed to relax and enjoy my life with Blanca for now.
Morning
This morning had started out alright with me waking up holding the woman I love followed by an enjoyable breakfast with the defenders of the wing along with my new niece, brother and sister. Sadly, the peace was not to last as a terrible terror with a message flew onto the table and began eating the dried jerky as Mala took the message. She read through the letter and let out an annoyed sigh while shaking her head and handing the letter to Dagur who went over it before he groaned and handed it to me as he told me how he felt this was better handled by me. This confused me until I went over the letter and by the time I was done I looked down groaning since the letter was from Throk who was having trouble on the edge caused by the twins who went fishing a few days ago. Apparently, they got spun around while they were away and washed up on the shores of the edge and were found by the defenders of the wing who were posted there. They were allowed to stay while repairs were made to their boat and someone was picked to take them home but then they went exploring against Throks orders.
They supposedly came across a claim stone but there was no telling if it was real which brings us to now which is me and Blanca on the edge after I got my dad and Gobber. We were all standing around the claim stone with the defenders of the wing who were posted on the island and the twins while Gobber examined the claim stone to see if it was authentic. It was then Gobber turned to us as I asked.
"Well Gobber, what do you think?" He stood up from his crouching position.
"Tastes right to me lad." He turned to face us. "This claim stone is one hundred percent authentic." The twins cheered and went how it was true while I groaned and shook my head as others did similar things until my father said.
"Alright, enough, it looks like this island officially belongs to the twins." They then began doing a ridiculous dance while singing about how the island was theirs until my father had them kneel and went through the island officiating ceremony before continuing their dance as my dad walked away but I walked up and said.
"Dad, you can't honestly be leaving me with this." I gestured to the twins who were still dancing like idiots before my father put his hands on my shoulders.
"Yes, I am!" He took his hands off my shoulders. "Welcome to my world." He then began walking away with Gobber. "Only now it's your world." Making Gobber chuckle as Throk walked up to me.
"What do we do now Hiccup Haddock?" I sighed.
"Give me time to think about it."
"I'm afraid there isn't much time to think." I raised an eyebrow. "There's a fireworm migration coming in and we're not sure if the base or island shall survive them coming to land for rest on their migration." I nodded.
"Listen, just keep preparing for the fire worms." I shrugged. "How much trouble could those two be?" He raised an eyebrow. "I'll even stick around to keep an eye on things and help out with the migration." He smiled and nodded before walking away to begin giving the defenders of the wing.
Afternoon
It's been only a few hours since the twins first claimed ownership and in that time, I'd sent Blanca back to our own island since I didn't want her to suffer the same way me and the defenders of the wing were because of the twins. Since they found out they owned the island they had been acting worse than the foreign nobles I had to deal with on my travels and to make matters worse I wasn't the only one that was having trouble with them but also the defenders of the wing. To start off their reign they'd claimed the outpost and all the buildings as their own while giving the defenders of the wing three choices. One, they could leave the island and never come back, two pay a toll of gold coins and if they couldn't pay they'd have their stuff taken as collateral and three be locked up in what used to be the dragon pens. This resulted in the defenders of the wing losing all of their money and their stuff after they moved around to prepare for the fireworms and five of the people had been locked up for complaining about the twins bothering them when they were just doing their jobs to prepare for the fireworms.
I tried to reason with the twins but this only ended with me getting the mother of all migraines with what they were demanding from me. To begin with they claimed we were now on the same level since they now like me owned their own island and would soon have their own fortune with the fees they were charging. They then tried charging me extra for overdue rent since I was the one who built the dragons edge when the island was rightfully theirs from the beginning. Ruffnut claimed they'd drop all the charges if I married her to whom I replied that I was already married to my beloved Blanca and I wouldn't leave her for Ruffnut if my life depended on it.
When I told her this she immediately threatened war on my island since she now had her own and when I told her she didn't have the forces she pointed to the defenders of the wing and said they were her forces. They just looked at her as if she were nuts before I told her they weren't going to fight for them which Throk agreed upon until she threatened to take the island back. I then reminded her of not only the fact that they'd never been able to get onto my island without being caught but also how I had unlimited forces and could take them down easily. After that they shut up but then they began saying they needed their own dragons to get around their new island so they began pestering me to train them each their own dragons. When I said no they tried bribing me with all the money and stuff they stole from the defenders of the wing to which I just glared at them and walked away to help the defenders of the wing prepare for the fireworms.
Now I was standing on the cliff looking over the edge clearing my head with Toothless on my right and Freya on my left. I had brought Freya to the island earlier to help try and redirect the fireworms to a nearby island made of ston. This way no more damage could be done but I was hoping that the sight of all the fireworms and the fire damage they cause, the twins would ask for help and give up the island so things would go back to normal. I hoped the twins weren't going to be complete idiots and would agree to do what I asked which was return ownership of the island to the defenders of the wing along with all of their belongings.
It was then I was brought out of my thoughts by Freya raising her head and growling as she glared behind us and when I looked up I found out why. There was a large flock of fireworm dragons flying our way and knew the fireworms were about to rain down on us and by the looks of things it was a lot of them. I turned to Freya and signaled her to wait for my signal since I'm going to try and convince the twins to give up the island before the fireworms landed. She growled and nodded as she lay down and waited while I jumped off the cliff and extended my wings to glide down to the edge where the twins were talking in front of the dome with Toothless following behind. I landed by the twins and ran up to them gaining their attention but before I could say anything Tuffnut said.
"Judging by your rush to see us you've considered our deal and are going to train us our own dragons."
"No I-" Ruffnut then ran up and grabbed onto my arm as she said.
"You've come to your senses and going to dump that ugly snake for me?" I glared at her and pushed her off.
"No and if you insult my wife again I'll brand your forehead." She backed up to her brother. "I came to warn you that the fireworms have arrived and they're going to be causing a lot of trouble." It was then one of the fireworms landed next to us catching our attention before Tuffnut asked.
"What's that?" I bent down and picked it up in my real hand before I showed it to them.
"This is a fireworm and they are hotter than the sun." Tuffnut snatched it out of my hand.
"But how hot could the sun be?" It then lit up making him scream in pain and drop the fireworm but I caught it.
"Very hot!" He turned to me.
"How come it's not hurting you?"
"I have an immunity to heat Tuffnut, I swim in lava for fun at times and neither you or the island have this immunity so in other words this place is going to be going up in flames." Before they could reply it began raining fireworms who were setting everything on fire as the twins screamed until Ruffnut turned to me.
"Do something Hiccup!" I just gently stroked the fireworm in my hand.
"Why should I do anything since it is your island?"
"Because dragons are your thing, so handle it."
"Nope!" Ruffnut then said.
"What'll it take?"
"You return ownership of the island to the defenders of the wing and give them back all their stuff." Before they could reply Throk ran up dodging the raining fireworms.
"Hiccup, the dragons stable has caught fire with ten people still locked in the pens." My eyes widened before I dropped the fireworm onto the ground and mounted Toothless.
"Let's go bud."
We took off towards the stable and flew through the doors that were thankfully open and found the people struggling to get out of the cells and I ran up to the cell closest to the flames. I grabbed the lock with my prosthetic while turning it into its dragon claw form and ripped the lock off breaking it before opening the cell and yelling at the ones inside to get out of the stables, which they immediately did. I did the same with the other stalls until everyone was out of the stable and safe before Toothless and I ran out of the stables ourselves. When we got out I was shocked to see every building was on fire and a large fireworm was coming in for a landing on the dome. Seeing so much chaos and people running around trying to extinguish the flames I knew I had to do something now whether the twins would give back the island or not since if I waited any longer there'd be no island to give back.
I immediately let out my dragon call for Freya but also gained the attention of the other giant fireworm that I saw was bright red instead of dark golden orange like Freya. I didn't get the chance to continue examining it Freya flew over the village roaring and getting everyone's attention including the other fireworm which flew up to greet her. They circled each other for a minute before Freya growled and gestured to the island with her head while growling before the other fireworm nodded and followed her as she took off to the stone island and with them went all the smaller fireworms. I let out a sigh of relief until I remembered fires the fireworms had started and sighed as I released my spirit bow while reaching back and pulling out a water arrow and a shower arrow. I fired them both into the air and smiled as they merged before bursting, making clouds form in the sky as the sound of thunder echoed through the area and a second later it was pouring down on the edge like a waterfall extinguishing the flames. Making me smile as the rain came down extinguishing the fames before it stopped coming down allowing me to let out a sigh of relief but my relief quickly turned to annoyance when the twins walked up as Tuffnut said.
"Man, I am loving those arrows of yours Hiccup." I turned to face them. "So, Hiccup since you've saved our island I suppose we can cut your overdue rental fees in half." I glared at them and growled.
"What?"
"Well we figured since you saved our island we'd cut you some slack."
"Your island?" Ruffnut replied.
"Uh, yeah our island since it has our claim stone on it." I glared at them.
"Take me to this claim stone!" They looked confused but they did as I asked and they lead me across the island to it before Tuffnut gestured to it.
"Here it is, our claim stone which gives us ownership of the island." I released my lion gauntlets and walked up to the claim stone.
"Claim stone?" I channeled an orange crystal in each gauntlet before I slammed them into the rock smashing it into pieces that melted into magma. "What claim stone?" They just stared at the spot where the stone once was and I could tell they weren't happy but it had been a long day so I just ignored their complaints as I made my way back to the edge to help with the repairs.
AN: and thus another chapter has been finished and posted but I am afraid to say it might be the last one this week as on Thursday my family leaves on holiday and while on holiday I don't write as often due to spending time with family. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and will review kindly since I do enjoy reading them. Until next time stay safe and have a nice day.
