Chapter 9: Tryst and Diverge

 

Orpheus was the first one to get out of the hole, followed by Stormfly, they flew low after, Astrid looked around and saw burnt grounds and a few splinters and old, burnt tents


"Don't worry about that... as long as those Berserkers are gone, nothing can hurt my Ashen Dell" Orpheus said

"'Ashen Dell'?" Astrid asked

"That's what I named this place... when I discovered it 50 years ago" Orpheus said


"Oh, I am so sorry... me and my friend Hiccup named this place 'Cold Pasture'! I'll just tell him—" Astrid was cutted by Orpheus's hearty laughed

"It's alright! Name it what you wanna name it... I just this place Ashen Dell for myself... so others can call it what they wanna be..." Orpheus before coughing

"My gods, are you alright, sir Orpheus?" Astrid asked


"Don't call me, sir, young lady... just call 'Orpheus'..." Orpheus said

"Astrid! Is that you?!"

"Astrid! Thank Odin you're here!" Stoick said

"Chief?! Guys?! Gobber?!" Astrid exclaimed

"We came here to find you! We want help you find Hiccup!" Gobber said

"B-but... how did—?!" Astrid was cutted again


"So they're your friends you were talking about... you didn't tell me about the Thunderdrum and the Hotburple..." Orpheus said "Wait... is-is that?"

"That who?" Astrid asked

"Stoick?" Orpheus asked

"Yes, he's the chief of Berk... wait, do you know him from somewhere?" Astrid asked


"He's a childhood friend of mine, although I'm a bit older than him for 5 years" Orpheus said, then Astrid chuckled, then he waved his hand "Stoick!"

"O-Orpheus?! Orpheus! Is that you?" Stoick exclaimed, before giving a hearty laugh

"Are we missing something?" Gobber asked

"I don't know..." Snotlout said, shrugging


They landed their dragons in a cliff and then, Stoick and Orpheus held up their hands and they positioned themselves like they're gonna arm wrestle (Like what Stoick and Gobber did before distracting the Red Death in HTTYD 1) and they looked confident and did a manly hug, Astrid dismounted her dragon and so did the others, they watched Orpheus and Stoick talk


"How long has it been?" Stoick asked, still bursting out a hearty laugh

"30 years I guess, has it really been that long, and oh... you're already riding a Thunderdrum and the chief of Berk! I thought Berk was a land of kill or be killed? How many did I miss so far, my friend?" Orpheus asked, before bursting a hearty laugh also
