DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE FRANCHISE: How To Train Your Dragon

"Someone Talking"

After another unsuccessful attempt by both her and Fishlegs to train the Skrill and Flightmare, she is making her way home, with one of her arms having got paralyzed thanks in part to the Bane of her existence. Fortunately for her, Fishlegs had been able to figure out a antidote to deal with the paralysis. So her left arm should be back to normal in a hour at most. She has just entered her house when she hears someone begin speaking behind her, turning around she realized it was just her dad, Blank Hofferson, the head of House Hofferson. He was sitting at the table making sure that his hunting weapons were prepared, because him and a few of his friends were going to go on a hunting trip to a nearby island.

"You alright there Astrid?"

"Yeah, just got hit by a lucky shot courtesy of the Hofferson's Bane, the Flightmare. In addition the Skrill certainly is not being any easier or willing to be tamed."

"Ah, I take it your hoping to utilize the Flightmare to find both your Nader, as well as your betrothed." He said with a slight tease causing Astrid to blush slightly.

"Kind of," as she. Sits down at the table to clean her own prized axe, that she now knew Hiccup had made for her. While the two were cleaning their weapons they started making chit chat with one another.

XxXx Change POV and timeskip XxXx

Bucket and Mulch are currently out retrieving the fishing nets that they had set yesterday. Suddenly out of nowhere catching fish when suddenly they hear a rather distinct and quite a very familiar sound, that caused the duo to immediately look around

"The sound of a night fury. Yes, yes it was Bucket, and you know what that should signify."

Deciding to be smart they pulled out the spyglasses that Gobber's had made for them based on the one Hiccup had made.

"Mulch I see it, and toothless is over there!"

Quickly Mulch ran over and aimed his spyglass where Bucket was pointing, and the two ended up seeing a very familiar night fury with a prosthetic tail fin, and on Toothless's back was a masked rider clad in an armor of night fury scales. The two seemed to have not noticed their presence as the two were doing aerial acrobatics and seemed to be having have a blast. After the two had finished they're acrobatic stunts, they end up heading to hover near a nearby island, where they meet up with two additional masked rider one riding a rather big, green, and red dragon of unknown species, while the other rode a green scauldron.

Unfortunately due to the distance between the two groups, it prevented Bucket and Mulch from hearing what they were talking about. After the three talked for a bit they and their dragons descend into the tree tops of the island they had been hovering over, where they disappeared from view.

Quickly turning around Mulch told Bucket, "We have to tell Stoick and the rest of Berk!"

"Agreed," Bucket was quick to agree.

But before they decided to look around the island by boat so they would know where to go, in order to land any ships on the island. Because it's not like they could utilize a flock of dragons, to fly straight into the heart of the island. With that they immediately began making their way back to berk ignoring their fishing nets that they had out. They made it back in record time thanks to the wind backing them up. When they got to port, they saw quite a few people were surprised that they're wasn't as much fish as there should be.

"What happened out there, did something take some of the fish?" One Viking asked the duo curiosity in his voice..

"No but we have some very important news we discovered, we need to talk to Stoick immediately, and call a council meeting now." Mulch said urgently. With that they got everything ready for the upcoming meeting.
