Toothless lands and I hop off his saddle and walk over to the sundial, sighing. "Slow and inaccurate. That's, uh, quite a combo," I tell the twins when they land behind me and turn to look up at them.

"It was also our parents' nicknames for us! My nickname was "Slow", which I thought was inaccurate," Tuff says to me and Ruff smirks, nodding.

"Viggo doesn't know we found his shipyard yet. We'll only have one chance at knocking out his fleet. We have to get it right." I leave them to their own devices and head back to my hut, feeling tired. I rub at my eyes, yawning as I slip off Toothless, petting his head. "Come on, bud. Let's get some shut-eye before dinner. I think Ivy's cooking tonight."

He grumbles in excitement and I smile down at him. Heather's been teaching Ivy how to cook and she's getting really good at it. I wrap my hands around the metal bar connected to my door and pull it up, the gears do the rest. My eyes widen when I find Dagur in the middle of my room and holding the Dragon Blade.

"This is cool!" I scream in surprise and take a step back and he rushes over to me. "Brother! Wait, where are you going? It's me. Where's my hug?"

I quickly back away as he waves the burning sword around wildly and near my face. He notices when I point to it and he nods. "Oh. Sorry. Uh, how do you turn this thing off?"

I quickly pull the door down behind me so no one will see him. The other Riders will not be happy to see him. If Heather saw him I have no idea what she'd do and Ivy... well I'm not sure exactly how she feels. I know she misses him dearly, but I can't have Heather knowing he's here at least not yet.

"Give me that," I say sternly and snatch it from his hands. "I see you've been keeping busy." I head over to my chest and hear Toothless growling at Dagur. "Hey, come on, Toothless. Where's the love, man?"

I lean against the chest and hold the Dragon Blade out to Toothless and he blows it out for me. I set it down on the floor, resting it against the chest and turn back to Dagur. "What in the name of Thor are you doing here?"

"Heather. I haven't seen a trace of her. It's so frustrating."

"Yeah, I'll bet."

"Is Ivy here? I know I've seen her with you and the Dragon Riders before?" I glance at Toothless who grumbles softly. "I- uh, she's not here right now." My gaze can't help but be drawn to the guest room door, where she sleeps.

She could walk in at any moment. "You promised me you'd look after her," he says with slight anger in his eyes, but quickly pushes it down and gives me a nervous smile.

When Dagur saved me from the Hunters and Toothless had been shot by a Dragon Root arrow Dagur asked about Heather and Ivy. I told him Heather was okay and Ivy was happy and healthy. He told me to look after her and I said I would. Even though she can take care of herself.

"I have been looking out for her. She's fine, Dagur. I promise you. I'd never let anything happen to her," I tell him being dead serious and he smiles happily. "I gotta have a dragon." He suddenly exclaims and I stare at him in shock, Toothless growls. "What?"

"To find Heather, I need to cover more ground faster. Dragony fast!"

"Yeah, I-I don't think so-" I attempt to walk away and he grabs onto my forearm, jerking me towards him.
