renegades chapter thirteen
"So, let me get this straight."
"Please, just shut up," Wartihog tugged at his helmet horns. "You've been talking for the past hour and a half."
Speedifist narrowed his eyes at his friend. "Rude, you know. You're very rude."
I sighed, leaning back against the wall of the cave. I was tasked in explaining everything that has happened to the boys who decided to just show up. Hiccup was trying to learn more about the tablets Skulder the Archaeologist talked about while we waited for the rest. Winglash was pushing the baby Groncicle to meet the boys' dragons. He was very nervous━especially around Speediclaw and Firefin who were very intrigued by him.
Speedifist turned to me. "There's treasure on this island, and you━like━don't want to go find it?"
I rolled my eyes. "I didn't say that. I said there are more important things. Like trying to find the Groncicle's herd. Or to see whether this could be a good new base of operations..."
"No, but, listen to yourself," Speedifist waved his hands, cutting me off. "Treasure. Like serious, Viking-worthy treasure. Do you not realise how much glory we'll get back in Berk if we find this?! How rich we'll be?"
I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose. "Is that all you listened to?"
"He has a point," Clueless spoke up. "I mean, I could buy a wagon."
We stared at his words, incredulous. He flushed. "I mean, don't you want your very own wagon? Just to ride in around the village with all your things...? I really want a wagon."
"We are not looking for this treasure."
"Think of the glory, Estrid," Speedifist took my shoulders and gave them a little shake. I scowled. He cleared his throat and stepped back. "I mean, we'll be the best known Dragon Riders yet! Everyone will be begging for us to save the village, and to go on quests. We'll be richer than the pirates!"
I turned to Wartihog, hoping he'd have some sense, but at the grin on his face, I realised he was right with them. "No," I told him. "No! No searching for the treasure!" I turned to the other two. "No."
Just by seeing Speedifst's grin, I was glad that a squawk interrupted us. Following it was a very obnoxious yell of, "Yeah! Snotlout's here! Ah━HOOKFANG!" there was a crash; I winced. I think Snotlout was well below a bunch of snow right now.
