HTTYD The Dragon Master and Mistress

Chapter 4

Silence not a single soul could say anything about the bombshell that was just dropped on them. Hiccup and Astrid are apparently alive accordingly to this Grimmel. If Hiccup and Astrid were alive all this time? Why did they never come back? Where have they been all this time? There are now even more unanswered questions than before. "You're lying Grimmel. My son and Astrid are dead," replies Stoick with disbelief. Realizing that he never told the man about Astrid or anyone else from his village. "How do you even know about Astrid," demands the chief of Berk impatiently.

Chuckling lightly at the response from the villagers of Berk. "Well, they are alive. How I know about all about Astrid? I have my ways of knowing these things. So, you all do this the easy way and tell me where they are hiding at or the hard way. Your choice Berk chose carefully," offers Grimmel calmly.

Once again, the people of Berk are left confused. Grimmel acting like they know where Hiccup and Astrid are at. It made the Viking of Berk wonder what Hiccup and Astrid did to get the attention of this man and his so-called comrades. The chief of Berk knows that Grimmel tells the truth with deceit and deception. He knows that this is one of many ways that the Night Fury killer plays with his prey like they were a game to him. Stoick, Gunner, and Hilda all wonder if their children were really alive. "If Hiccup and Astrid are truly alive? We haven't seen or heard from them in six years Grimmel," Stoick answers truthfully hoping that this is the end of this conversation.

"Have you heard of the Dragon Master and Dragon Mistress," Grimmel asked calmly. Again, what Grimmel left them confused. Of course, that have heard of legend of the Dragon Master and Mistress. All the adults of the village believe that the legend was started to keep misbehaving children to behave. What did the legend have to do with their situation?

"What does that have to do with anything with our situation," questions Stoick trying to figure out the angle the Night Fury killer is taking.

"Hiccup and Astrid are the Dragon Master and Mistress," answers the Night Fury killer. Shocked fill everyone from Berk the allegations made.

"You're lying my daughter isn't some dragon loving rider," yells Hilda while glaring at Grimmel. How dare he accuse Astrid of such a heinous crime? Did he know that her family had to dishonored as cowards because of the Finn vs the Flightmare situation? How that day her daughter became more determine to become the best dragon killer on Berk? Now he is saying that she somehow became a dragon rider. It did not make any sense to her or her husband.

"My son isn't some dragon sympathizer rider as well," yells Stoick trying not to lose his temper. His son and Astrid would never side with the dragon over their own people. The two lost teenagers lost a love one to the dragons. Hiccup lost his own mother, Valka to that four wings dragon. Astrid lost her uncle to the Flightmare. It just did not make any sense to anyone from Berk.

"Believe whatever you want. Now Berk have you decided if you are going to tell me what I want to know. Or do we have to do thing the hard way," Grimmel offers impatiently.

"You and what army. We're Viking we fight for our homes," Spitelout proclaimed proudly. Spitelout may not know who Grimmel is. But if Grimmel thinks he could just show up here and demand them things. He has another thing come to him if believes that.

"You tell him dad," Snotlout agreeing with his father while rising fist in the air just as proud as his dad. Most of the tribe also agreeing with Spitelout. Stoick looks at both his brother and nephew and shakes his head in disbelief at their confidence, he knows that they should not underestimate Grimmel. He knows that he has to find a way is to out play the Night Fury killer in his own game. Which was not going to be an easy task to do.

Just then the door to the great hall open and Johann walk into the room. "Grimmel, everything is all set and ready to go," Johann says he enters the room. The villagers are once again left baffled. They had not seen or heard from the trader in just over six months. Now he shows up with this strange man all of a sudden.
