Toothless and (D/N) let out a soft roar, looking towards the horizon. But a noise made the ears of the two dragons move as the sound of a dragon screeching could be heard.
[Hiccup]: Hey..-He calls as Stormfly swoops down, picking up some rocks as she lands- Where have you been?..
Aster stretches while jumping off Stormfly, (D/N) runs eagerly towards Stormfly and pauses to greet Aster.
[Aster]: Oh, winning races. what else?..-He responds with a triumphant smile, causing (Y/n) to shake her head as she lets out a laugh-
Stormfly and (D/N) greet one another, bobbing their heads in sync and chirping. Toothless sighs before approaching the two dragons who were playing.
[Aster]: The real question is, where have you been?..-Hiccup snorts as he finishes his drawing, shaking his head while he encircled (Y/n) with an arm. Aster looked from him to her sister- And where were you, (Y/n)?..
[Y/n]: I was traveling with (D/n)..-She tells him without looking at him-
[Hiccup]: Avoiding my dad..
[Y/n]: What?..Why?..-She says quickly as Aster sits next to her, crossing his legs- What happened now?..
Toothless pursues (D/N) in the back, Stormfly chirping at them to stop as she chases them.
[Hiccup]: Oh, you're gonna.. you're gonna love this, beautiful..-Hiccup replies, his fingers playing with his hair- I wake up, the sun's shining, Terrible Terrors are singing on the rooftop..-Aster takes his pen, looks towards the mountain and draws them while Hiccup tells his story- I saunter down to breakfast thinking all is right with the world, and I get..-Hiccup rises, making his voice deeper- ''Son, we need to talk''..
[Aster]: Not, now, Dad. I got a whole day of goofing off to get started..
Aster imitates Hiccup as waving his arms mockingly, causing (Y/n) to hold back a laugh with one hand.
[Hiccup]: Okay, first of all, I-I don't sound like that..-Hiccup whines- What is this character?..-Aster nudges (Y/n) as she sighs heavily- And-and second..what is that thing you're doing with my shoulders?..
(Y/n) begins to move her shoulders and arms in a dramatic way, making her brother laugh as he continues to draw the mountains
[Hiccup]: Yeah, that's - that's a really flattering impersonation.. Anyway, he goes..-Hiccup sighs deeply as he begins to walk behind the two- ''You're the pride of Berk, son, and I could't be prouder''..
[Y/n]: Aw, thanks, Dad. I'm pretty impressed with myself, too..-She says imitating him as she moves her arms again. Aster watched the scene with amusement, put aside the pencil before looking at her-
[Hiccup]: When have I ever done that with my hand?..-He said while moving his hands in the same way as (Y/n)-
[Aster]: You just did, friend..-Aster says with a smirk as (Y/n) continued to laugh, covering her mouth with one hand-
[Hiccup]: (Y/n). You have to help me..
[Y/n]: I'm sorry..-She gave a small laugh as Aster looked at Hiccup with an amused smile- But it's funny..
[Hiccup]: Okay, just..-He placed himself at her level, grabbing her arms with a smile- hold...still. Very serious..-He grabbed the girl's hands, still looking at her with a smile. (Y/n) pouts funny-
[Aster]: Hey, don't do those things in front of me. I still need to find a couple...-He said with a smile, making (Y/n) and Hiccup laugh-
Hiccup got up as he continued speaking, imitating his father. (D/N), Toothless and Stormfly were still playing behind the three.
[Hiccup]: '' You're all grown up, and since no chief could ask for a better successor, I've decided ''..
Aster opened his eyes when he knew what Hiccup meant, (Y/n) also opens her mouth, surprised.
[Aster]: To make you chief! Oh, my gods!..-He exclaimed as he got up- Hiccup, that's amazing!..
(Y/n) winced as she saw Asher hit Hiccup in the stomach, causing the back fin to rise as Hiccup groaned in pain.
[Hiccup]: Oh!..Y-You're gonna wear out the spring coil. The calibration is very sensitive...
(Y/n) laughs as she approaches the two, but the three dragons ran past them, causing (Y/n) to fall to the ground, Hiccup fell on top of her and Aster fell to the side of the two. (Y/n) and Hiccup opened their eyes and looked very closely at each other with a blush, Aster stood up with a frown.
[Aster]: Hey, get away from my sister..-He exclaimed as he pushed Hiccup's body to the side while helping (Y/n) get up-
[Hiccup]: Hey, you have to get used to it..now I'm the boyfriend of (Y/N)..-He said as he got up, Aster tried to approach him but (Y/n) stopped him with a nervous smile-
[Y/n]: Guys, guys..-She smiles, looking at the two boys, who were looking at each other with an electricity between them- Hiccup, you can continue talking..
[Hiccup]: Yeah, so...this is what I'm dealing with..
[Y/n]: What did you tell him?..-She asked him while she cleans the little dust that he had on his armor-
[Hiccup]: I-I didn't. By the time he turned around, I was gone...-He explained as (Y/n) picks up the map from the ground-
[Y/n]: Well... it's a lot of responsibility..
[Aster]: The map will have to wait, for sure, and...and I'll need to fly Toothless, since you'll ve too busy, but...
He turned to Hiccup as (Y/n) looked at him with concern. Hiccup sighs before speaking.
[Hiccup]: I-I's not me.. All those speeches and planning and running the village, that's his thing...
[Y/n]: I think you're missing the point. I mean--chief. What an honor! I'd be pretty excited...-She says excitedly as Hiccup kept his map inside his armor-
[Hiccup]: I-I.. I'm not like you. You... know exactly who you are, you always have, but... I'm still looking..-He walks the other way and grabs his helmet off the ground- I know that I'm not my father, and I never met my mother, so... What does that make me?..
Hiccup sits down on the floor, breathing out. A small smile appeared on (Y/n)'s face, she turns to Aster, who nods that she should go talk to him. She nods, sits next to Hiccup, puts her hand on his head and starts stroking his brown hair.
[Y/n]: What you're searching for isn't out there, Hiccup.. it's in here...-She places a hand on his chest as Hiccup turns his head towards her- Maybe you just don't see it yet..-She gives him a little kiss on the cheek, but Hiccup looks away-
[Hiccup]: Maybe...-He muttered, looking at something that caught his eye in the distance- But, you know..there is something out there..
[Aster]: Hiccup...-He released along with a deep sigh as he placed a hand on his head-
Hiccup turned (Y/n)'s head in the same direction, and when she saw it, she caught the attention of her brother, who also looked in that direction. Where there was a cloud of gray smoke, causing the three of them to squint.
[Y/n]: What is that?..-She asks as she gets up next to Hiccup. She put her fingers to her mouth and you whistled, causing (D/n) to run towards her, Toothless and the Stormfly also approached-
[Aster]: We have to go find out..-(Y/n) quickly grabbed her bow and placed it behind her back-
████████████████████
Aster follows (Y/n) as she flies with Hiccup, they both looked at the autumn woods but later they changed to dead trees, darkness was in the air.
(Y/n) looks at the ashes around her, also seeing the fog in the place. The three exit the forest and fly out onto the sea, revealing a large jagged structure made entirely of ice. The mouths of the three fell open.
[Hiccup]: Whoa..
(D/N) looks at the ice structure, eyes narrowed. Toothless looked back and looked at her. Hiccup looks at (Y/n) and Asher over his shoulder.
[Hiccup]: Stay close..-He says, making both nod their heads. They fly around the ice, wood crushed and sticking out on random spots, revealing it was a fort-
[Y/n]: What happened here?..-She asks concerned, looking around her and her eyes catch two large footprints. Toothless notices, too, nervously jerking his head-
[Hiccup]: All right, e-easy, bud..-Hiccup soothes, setting a hand on Toothless-
[Aster]: Hiccup..-Aster calls, pointing towards the new group of people on a nearby platform-
[...]: Fire!..
[Hiccup]: Guys!, look out!...-Hiccup shouts as a net was fired-
Hiccup dodged the net but (Y/n) did not have the same luck, she got caught in the net next to (D/n) and they began to fall with speed. (D/N) growled as her body hit the ground, (Y/n) rolled on the ground as (D/N) roared at every man who approached.
[Y/n]: Hey! What do you think they're doing?!..-She yells, raising her bow, pointing it at each man, who looked at her in confusion- Get away from my dragon, now!..
[??]: But how brave..Our little dragon rider is back again?..-She turn towards the voice, still with the bow in her hands, she saw a man coming out of his hiding place as he looked towards (D/n)- Is that what I think it is?..
Toothless lets out a shriek, swooping down and causing the familiar sound of a Night Fury.
[Hiccup]: Stop! Get away from them!..-He yelled as he landed. When Toothless landed, he quickly approached (D/N). Toothless lets out a loud roar, causing the men to flinch and cover their ears before gasping in awe as Hiccup draws his flame sword, Aster grabbing his ax-
[...]: Oooh!..-They all breathe out, their eyes following the flaming sword-
[??]: Back again!..-The man scoffs, his eyebrow raising at the sight of Toothless-Soil my britches. Two Night Furies! Thought they were all gone for good. Looks like our luck's had a turn for the better, lads!..
Aster wanted to get closer to (Y/n) but Hiccup stopped him, making him look at him in confusion. (Y/n) growls and gasps when she sees how the man brought his sword closer to (D/n), Toothless also growls when he sees how his female was threatened.
[??]: Don't think Drago has one of those.. in his dragon army..
[Asher]: Dragon army?..-Aster mumbles under his breath-
[Hiccup]: Look, we don't want any trouble..-Hiccup starts, Toothless hissing softly- Why don't you let her go?...
[??]: Ha! You should have thought of that before you stole all of our dragons..-He growled as he struck with the tip of his sword on the head of (D/N), making her growl- and blasted our fort to bits!..
[Man]: That's right!..
[Man 2]: Yeah, look it at!..
[Y/n]: It doesn't make sense, if we did it, why would we come back here, don't you think what you're saying is very silly?..-She says, looking at him with a frown as she still points her bow at him-
[Aster]: What are you talking about?..
[Hiccup]: You think we did this?..-Hiccup incredulously questions, taking another step forward with narrowed eyes-
[??]: Dragon trapping is hard enough work as it is without do-gooder dragon riders sneaking in to rescue them!..-The man snaps in irritation, jerking his blade to point at Hiccup-
[Hiccup]: What do-gooder...There are other dragon riders?..
[??]: You mean other than your thieving friend from last night? You tell me. You may have an ice-spitting dragon on your side, but we still have a quota to fill. How do you suppose we explain this mess to Drago Bludvist?..
[Hiccup]: Drago... What-fist?..-Hiccup scoffs, bitterly smiling- Does anything you say make sense?..-He mocks-
Aster looks at Hiccup with wide eyes, shaking his head. The man goes to say something, allowing another crewmember to speak instead.
[?? 2]: He's expecting a new shipment of dragons for this army by tomorrow..
[?? 3]: And Dragon don't take well to excuses!..-a man whimpers-
[??]: This...-the man sheathes his blade, using his free hand to lower his fur shirt and reveal a branding scar-...is what he gave me the last time I showed up empty handed..-Aster winces, looking at Hiccup. (Y/n) frowns at him as she thinks about what to do to help her dragon- He promised to be far less understanding in the future...
[Hiccup]: All right, look..-Hiccup sighs, shaking his head and raising his hands- We don't know anything about a dragon thief, or an ice-spitting dragon--
Toothless follows the man's gaze as he looks up with a subtle nod, making the men above take aim.
[Hiccup]: --or your lunatic boss and his dragon army, okay?..-Hiccup finishes, walking another step closer- Just give us back our dragon, and we'll go..strange, hostile person whom we've never met..
[Eret]: Oh, where are my manners?..-He chuckles- I'm Eret.. Son of Eret..-Hiccup's ear catches the faint sound of the net ripping more, making him tense as one of the trappers notices- Finest dragon trapper alive. Afterall..It's not just anyone who can capture two Night Furies..
Toothless snarls, his wings arching as he moves closer to Hiccup.
[Hiccup]: And this is Toothless. He says we're going. Now..-Hiccup says in a firm tone, glaring at Eret. Eret lets out a laugh, shaking his head-
[Eret]: They all say that. Rush 'em, lads!..
Toothless quickly shoots a ball of plasma towards the ice structure, causing a chunk to begin to fall on Eret and the other men, causing him to yelp before dodging backwards. (Y/n) reacts quickly, guarding her bow and approaches (D/n), cutting the rope that wrapped her body.
He falls to the ground, the ice breaking near him and stunning him. Hiccup reaches out to help (Y/n).
(D/N) snorts as she shakes her head, (Y/n) quickly climbs on her back as Toothless scoops Hiccup up. Aster pulls herself on Stormfly, flying off as (D/N) and Toothless follow.
[Eret]: You will never hold on to those dragons!..-He bellows, aiming his sword at them- You hear me?! Drago is coming for them all!..
Hiccup looks back at the trappers with a scowl, and the three head back to Berk.
To be continued...
