The Journey - Book 6 (Defenders Of Berk X OCish Reader)

CHAPTER 11

"So, Dalfon. You heard the plan," you said, patting his neck. "Let's see what's going on."

The darkness of the night was falling and due to the storm clouds, you had lost sight of the ships long ago.

Avoiding lightning while being in the clouds wasn't the easiest thing to do but you had the feeling of needing to keep going. There was something that told you that you would regret it if you went back now. Besides - there was no way of knowing if Heatwave and Nori had the same idea or if they were okay before dawn so you and Dalfon figured that you might as well keep going since you had no legitimate reason to go back.

"I'm getting out of the clouds, it's too dangerous," Dalfon informed you before picking up more speed.

"We're above Outcast island," you realized, looking down when you could see again. "You know, let's just see where Heatwave and Nori are and forget about our part of the mission for now. There's no way we could find the ship of the Berserkers in this storm."

As you and Dalfon lowered to the isle, you saw a familiar black dragon do the same. "Hiccup's here too," you remarked, "we have to be very careful not to get spotted."

"Yup. Would you look at that," Dalfon laughed slightly, nodding to the interaction between Hiccup and the twins.

"Yeah, yeah," you said. "But the Skrill? I have never seen a Skrill in real life before. Do you think we could help them?"

"I think we could," Dalfon nodded, stretching as you got off his back.

"Astrid, is that you?" you heard Hiccup ask and quickly pulled Dalfon lower and under a ledge.

"I don't see her," you heard Ruffnut say.

"I see nothing," Tuffnut laughed.

"Weird," Hiccup muttered, "I could've sworn I saw a saddled Nadder."

You watched as the Skrill was dragged out, your eyes widening due to the magnificence of the creature. "Woah," you muttered quietly, feeling Dalfon nod since you were pretty pressed together under the ledge.

"Holy cow," you said shortly after that. You had noticed the Berserkers. "Turns out we had to come here after all, Dalfon."

***

Tuffnut tumbled down the mountain side, making you chuckle a bit.

"Aren't you going too?" Daflon asked.

"Nuh-huh. They'd recognize me just as easily as they would recognize Hiccup. Although I guess I could try to sneak in, there's really no way for me to blend in," you explained. "I'll go and try to free the Skrill when it gets a bit darker outside and when most of the people are gone from there." Dalfon nodded understandingly, seemingly okay with your plan.
