Faded Memory - Hiccup x Reader

Chapter 15: Take Over

A/n: So I'll be honest. Cherry wasn't planned to die so early so, I had to make changes.
Also this picture was made by me. Old design for Lani and Ares. I updated Ares's look and everyone else's. I'll show them once I get done, which may be by the end of this book.
Anyways, on to the story.

A shadowy figure paced the shores as the cool breeze blew threw. His eye's never left the horizon of the cold dark sea. It was a chilly night and not one that brought any good.

Y/n was back to herself within the next day. Of course after getting out of the bed she hear the new of Cherry's pasting. Upon hearing it, she found herself bring everyone a cup of Cherry's special drink, hot cocoa. Salmen and Cyprus where pleased by the gesture. As a result Salmen decided that every year, on the day of Lani's birth, they'd have a cup of hot cocoa in the remembrance of Cherry, and for the birth of a little girl that changed everything.

"Thank's Y/n. I need that," Salmen smiled.

Y/n only smiled back patting his shoulder.

"We both did," Cyprus muttered.

Y/n sighed and picked him up. Cyprus, without a word, embraced her. Y/n returned it keeping the hurting boy close. Everyone in the room was silently grieving Cherry. Everyone being Malani, Salmen, Cyprus, Boa, Odysseus, Ares, Lani, Akilina, and Y/n.

"Salmen, I know your grieving right now, but I need to know why you were searching for me," Odysseus muttered.

Salmen sighed as everyone, but the babe, had eyes on him.

"You're great at what you do. Hunting and track," Salmen started. "Although I know you usually hunt, track, and trap dragons, I need you find someone."

Odysseus frowned leaning in.

"Who exactly?"

"My mother, Lilian. I can help you find her, but with all that's happened I get if you'd rather go alone," Ares cut in.

"Your right. I'd rather go alone, but it would be easier to find her with you with me. You know her better than anyone else," Odysseus muttered. "Salmen, I will do my best to find her, but you must promise me something."

Salmen noticed bitterness in Odysseus hard gaze. Glancing at his little sister, Salmen saw no since of discomfort.

"What kind of promise?"

"If I bring Lilian to you, dead or alive..."

Ares tensed but said nothing. He only gazed over at Odysseus with an unreadable expression.

"You got to promise me that you'll at least think of letting the dragons go on their own to the place where they belong."

Malani and Boa looked between both Salmen and Akilina. They grew up with these dragons. Practically became one of the pack. They were like one big dragon nest, with Salmen and his feathered beast as the leader.

"Why?" Y/n asked breaking the quiet. "Give us a good reason as to why."

"Because you having dragons is what's causing your wars. The reasons behind the death of your parents and friends. They are destruction beast, not pets," Odysseus snapped. "Tell me, how many lives are these dragons worth to you? How many people are you willing to lose?"

Salmen and Y/n knew he held a point, but it was their choice to live with dragons. No one should be able to take their rights away. It wasn't as if they were encouraging others to be like them like Lilian did.
