— Well, we could train a lot harder, for one. That was pretty sloppy.. —Aster indicated with a harsh voice, looking at the group while Valka gets up after checking on a dragon.—

— Aster, uh, does have a point.. Perhaps you all rely a little bit too much on your dragons and not enough on one another.. —Aster nods at Valka's words, Snotlout was next to Vlaka with a flirtatious smile.—

— See? That's exactly what I was saying. Just listen up, guys.. —Snotlout says proudly, walking towards Hiccup.— Yeah, your mom's super impressed with me.. —He pats him on the back, making Hiccup look at him with his eyebrows furrowed.— I'm like the son she always wanted.. —

— Or the son she never wanted.. —Aster and Heather smile at the same time as Snotlout grimaces in their direction.—

— Fishmeat.. —Baby Gronckle jumps out of Fishlegs' pocket towards the Crimson goregutter.— You found a new friend.. —

The Crimson goregutter makes a calm sound when he sees the baby dragon wanting to play with him, which he did with the baby. They both started to play, but the Crimson goregutter jumped up making a noise in the place. Some dragons flew away while people dodged some of the big dragon's movements.

The Crimson goregutter retreated until it collided with a structure, which when it fell caused many houses to collide with each other until they fell into the water, the dragons that were there flew away so that the debris did not reach them. Hiccup shrugged at that as Gobber walked towards him.

— Perfect, we have to build again.. —Aster lets out a bored sigh.—

— Do they do it every time new dragons come? —Heather looks at him, moving some black locks around her face.—

— I may update you later.. —Aster winks at her, causing Heather to look away with a blush.—

— What good is having the king of dragons around if he can't keep the order? —Gobber exclaims, pointing out the destruction that had occurred.—

— Hey, Bud, do you want to do something here or..? —Toothless nods, giving the Crimson goregutter a roar to stop. The Crimson goregutter slowly lowers his head with a soft roar at the Alpha.—

— And where do you suppose we put these ones? —

— Ah, we'll make room.. —Hiccup puts his hands on his hips, smiling until Gobber gasps as he slams his wooden hand into the stomach, making Hiccup groan at the hit.—

— You brought back a hobgobbler! They're a bad omen. We're cursed.. —Gobber backs away nervously as Hiccup laughs.—

— Nonsense. What harm could he do? —Valka lifts the small purple dragon into her arms, looking at its wings carefully.— No injuries. They're all a little shaken but otherwise healthy. Now, who's hungry? —

— Heather, let's go eat.. —Aster grabs Heather's hand so he can take her with him to the Great Hall so they can eat with the others.—

— Aster, I had the news of (Y/n)'s death a year ago.. —Aster stops, staring at the ground in complete silence.— I wanted to come earlier but... I couldn't because of Dagur and I had to help on the berserker island.. —

— I haven't talked about that topic in a year...—Aster grits his teeth as he remembers everything, his hands balling into fists.— We can talk about it later, Heather.. —Heather nods, letting out a sigh, she could understand a little the suffering he was going through but not at the level of the pain of losing your sister that you took care of since childhood.—
