HTTYD The Dragon Master and Mistress

Chapter 12

"What were you about to say Hiccup?" Stoick questions his once to be thought to be dead son. He had a feeling that Hiccup was hiding something from him. He was determined to figure out what that was.

"It's nothing. Yup, absolutely nothing." Hiccup replied to his father. He just could not allow his father to find out how Valka died. It could lead to more problems then they needed right now. But at the same time, he knows that Stoick deserves to know what really happened to his wife. Maybe he could tell him what happened after showing them how to train dragons. If Hiccup was lucky? Stoick would not hold Toothless responsible for what Drago forced his Night Fury to do.

"It sure as hell didn't sound like nothing. I'll ask again Hiccup. What were you about to say?" The chief of Berk had demanded more forcibly than before. He forgotten how stubborn his son could be when Hiccup wanted to. He remembered all the head aches that came from his sarcastic son. Oh, how he oddly missed these back and forth with his son.

"Just forget I even said anything. Right now, we need to discuss what we're going to do. I suggest that you guys leave for somewhere safer until all this mess is cleared up." The moment Hiccup had suggested that the villagers to leave their home of seven generations caused an uproar from the Berkians. What did their former heir mean leave their home? Did he forget that they were Vikings? Vikings defend their homes from their enemies. "Let me explain please." Hiccup tried to reason with them but unfortunately his voice was lost in a sea of disappointed voices of the villagers. That was when Astrid threw her axe to a hut with deadly accuracy. That silenced everyone as she glares at them.

"Hear him out first before you all speak your opinions." Astrid demanded her former tribe. Nobody from Berk still did not want to cross paths with an angry Astrid Hofferson.

"Thanks Milady. Anyway, I do know you guys don't think leaving is an option. What choice do you really have at the moment? What do you guys think will happen now with the dragon hunters and trappers knowing Astrid and I are the dragon master and mistress? That the both of us are from here? I'll tell you what they're going to do. They'll just keep on attacking here to draw me and Astrid out. I'm not suggesting this is gonna be a permanent stay. After we deal with them? You all can come back here to live your lives in peace without Astrid and I. Right now, we got to deal with Grimmel and the rest of our enemies." Hiccup delivers a small speech so that the villagers could fully understand their situation. Looking around trying to see if his words had done the desired effect, he was looking for. To his great surprise his speech had done what he was hoping for.

"Where do we go laddie?" Gobber asked his former apprentice. He was saddening that Hiccup said he would not live with them on Berk. But it also made sense that his former apprentice felt like that, it does not mean he likes it. Hiccup was not a child anymore and can make his own decides on where he lived at. The blacksmith also knows that Stoick would not be to please with the idea of Hiccup and Astrid not living on Berk. He was willing to do almost anything if it meant spending time with Hiccup. No matter how small that time was.

"There isn't enough space in New Berserkers Island. Because they're getting ready to unite with the Defenders of the Wing. Only the women and children would be welcome to the Wing Maidens. So that only leaves one option left. You guys can stay on Astrid's and my new home island. It'll be faster if I teach you guys how to train dragons." Hiccup answered the blacksmith's question. That only lead to another uproar from the villagers. Hiccup tried again to calm the villagers but sadly his words fell on deaf ears.

"EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP!" Astrid yelled at the top of her lungs. She knew that they would not go anywhere with everyone talking at the same time. Silence was the only thing anyone could hear. You could hear a pen drop after Astrid screamed. The only person she wanted to hear at the moment was her betrothed.
