A New Chapter in Httyd

Chapter 7 - Hiccup

Hiccup knew that voice all too well. Even if he didn't, there was only one person in the entire archipelago who called him brother. "D-Dagur?" He called, turning around to face the direction of the voice.

Sure enough, there he was: Dagur the Deranged, Heather's older brother who used to try to kill Hiccup all the time when they were younger. Lucky for Hiccup, Dagur changed his ways. (Even though he hasn't completely grown out of the Deranged title. Yet). 

The last time Hiccup saw Dagur, was at Dagur's and Mala's wedding, the Queen of the Defenders of the Wing, after which of course, Dagur became thier king along with being the chief of the Berserker tribe.

"Dagur?" Heather called and ran toward him to hug him briefly. "What are you doing here?" 

"Oh, you know, visiting the dragons!" A dragon appeared behind him. It was Sleuther, the Triple Strike that Dagur used to ride. 

"And you do this often?" Astrid asked.

"No", Dagur said, petting Sleuther. "I come to visit every year".

"That's more often than we come!" Tuff said.

"So unfair", Ruff grumbled. 

"Guys, stop whining", Hiccup told them, annoyed that the twins never let go of their eccentric,  childlish behavior. "It's- a pleasure to meet you here Dagur! Where's Mala?"

Right on cue, he heard a voice of a woman with a crisp accent. "It's great to see you here, Hiccup Haddock". 

It was Mala. She was holding a baby Eruptodon in her hand.

Hiccup dipped his head in a bow to show respect to the Queen, followed by Astrid, Heather and Fishlegs. Ruff and Tuff of course, didn't bother with formalities. 

"Hey, no one bowed to me", Dagur complained but Hiccup ignored him. 

"What do you come here for?" Astrid asked Mala.

"Oh, we just love seeing the dragons. Especially with so many Vikings believing that they don't exist anymore, it feels good to see that they're still here, living in their paradise". 

Fishlegs nodded. "There are so many different species and it's just so beautiful. Did you know that some dragons have never left the Hidden World? Some don't even know that Vikings exist, how crazy is that!"

Dagur looked fed up. "Annyways, who is this?" He pointed at Zephyr.

"Nuffink Haddock, son of the Chief of Berk".

Dagur raised an eyebrow in confusion. 

"He's my son", Hiccup quickly explained.

"Oh!" Dagur laughed for some reason. "You're the Chief of Berk? What happened to your Daddio?"

Astrid glared at Dagur and Mala, who seemed to understand, placed a hand on his shoulder on warning. 

Dagur must have realized it then. "Ouch. Okay". 

I blinked my eyes a little.

"Hey, where's Zephyr?" Astrid asked. 

I looked around. "Zephyr?"

No response. She was no where in sight. "Zephyr?!"

"Dagur, I can't find Nyfe!" Mala said. She pronounced the name like Knife. 

"Who?" Heather asked. 

"Our son!" 

"You named your son Nyfe?" Tuffnut asked, who, as always, was focusing on the important things. "Dagur and Nyfe, that's awesome. Hey, Heather, we should change Honora's name to Speyear!" 

"And Duffles can be Ax!" Ruffnut exclaimed. 

"It's Ruffles!" Ruffles said. "And I'm not being called Ax!"

"It's not worse than your actual name, ya know?" Nuffink snickered.

"No Tuff, we are not calling Honora Speyear", Heather said. 

"Stop!" I said. "Will everyone please concentrate?! Zephyr and Nyfe are missing!"

"That's strange because the rest of the kids are still here", Astrid remarked.

Where could they have gone? How could they locate them in the Hidden World?
