Erica followed Snoutlout through the forest she managed to finally catch up to him. She hadn't expected him to go so fast and had a hard time catching up. All this time she kept her eyes out for danger. "See?" He said loudly. "There's nothing to worry about we've scared them off."

"For now," She replied in a hushed tone, "and keep your voice down you could attract them right to us."

"Alright," he replied in a normal voice "is this better?"

"Better than what you were doing before." Knowing that this would probably be as quite as she could get him.

They continued traversing through the forest on foot with their dragons on foot hopping that would cause them to be less noticed from them.  Since Snoutlout would know the way better than her she let him go ahead. She was glad that her eyes adjusted to the dark from all those years of imprisonment in the Dragon Hunter's ships. This allowed her to be able to warn Snoutlout of any danger or stop him from tripping over something that would most likely break their cover and get spotted.

At first he wasn't happy but this turn of events in fact he was very upset when she first did it. "What do you-"

"I just stopped you from falling into a pit"

"Oh thank you."

"Of course I'm not going to let you die. I owe you and the Dragon Riders everything. You helped make sure I was free."

"Is that why you're helping us?"

"Of course."

"Then I'm glad to have someone like you help us."

She let out a slight smile, "Of course." She caste a glance over her shoulder "We should keep going."

After what seemed like an hour for traveling through the forest they finally reached the Dragon hunter's camp. It looked just what she would have expected for it to look like with cages for dragons everywhere. Heavy artillery that could be used to take them out of the sky.  The only thing that was different was the obvious absence of all the guards and hunters at this camp. She couldn't help but wounder if it was the Death Gripers that caused them to flee or someone else.


Hiccup could see the Death Gripers by the beach now. Some were roaming  on the beach going back and fourth while others were in the skies. None seemed to be leaving the area though. He also couldn't help but notice their was no sings of Erica and Snoutlout. He wasn't sure if he should be grateful to the gods about that or worried.

"Where are they?"

"Don't worry son we'll find them."

"Yeah..." Roughnut cut in, "we just need to get past all those Death Gripers. It will be a piece of cake."

"Not all of us have to get past them. Just Astrid and Hiccup."

"And how are we meant to do that?"

"By having us distract them. They'll be focused on us and not you."

"I'm not sure about this plan."

"It will work son. Good Luck both of you."

"Charge!" And with that Hiccup's father came towards the Death Gripers. The others followed them and headed towards the Death Grippers.

The Death Grippers were quick to notice that someone was coming close to them. Taking notice of those coming towards them they took flight and started to give chase to those who posed a threat. Hiccup and Astrid taking hold of the opportunity given and maneuvered them around towards the forest. The moment they entered Hiccup dismounted. "Let's hope we can find them."
