The Scale Walker Of Berk ( A Httyd fanfic )

Chapter 29

( A/n: Portrait of Hiccup as a Buff Man Part 1 )

Onyx was leading Meryl, Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, and the twins through a part of Berk's forest they have never been before, aka the part of the forest Onyx's den is in.

Astrid: Onyx, where are you going?

Tuffnut: And why are you dragging us along?

Onyx: ( to the riders: ) I'm not dragging you along, you all volunteered.

Tuffnut: Oh, yeah.

Meryl: By the way, do any of you vikings know what Hiccup and Stoick are doing in the Great Hall with Bucket?

Astrid: They're getting their portrait painted.

Fishlegs: It's a viking tradition that a viking chief and their son have their portrait painted.

Onyx: Oh.... I don't get it. Keep going, we're almost to my den.

When they got to Onyx's den, the riders looked at the entrance of the den as Onyx jumped into the den, it just looked like a hole in the ground to them.

Snotlout: Okay, this is weird...

Fishlegs: He's been living in a hole all these years...?

Meryl: It's a den, and it's probably better than living in a cave, and much safer.

Onyx looks up from the den entrance, at the riders with a smile.

Onyx: Come down one at a time, I'll help you down.

Meryl: Scalewalkers first, vikings.

Meryl jumped into the den and Onyx caught her by the back of her shirt before she could fall on the ground of the den. Onyx then gently placed Meryl down before looking up at the entrance. Meryl began looking around the den in curiosity.

Onyx: Alright, who's next.

After all the riders got into the den, they looked at it in awe.

Fishlegs: Wow... Did you make all of this, Onyx?

Onyx: Most of it, some stuff I just found washed up on shore. Oh, right, I wanted to give you something.

Onyx goes to his work desk, and as he began looking for something under the desk, Astrid and Meryl noticed the painting of the Nightstalker dragoness on the den wall. Onyx then pulls the Zippleback feet and Monstrous Nightmare claw from under the desk and showed it to the riders with a smile, they look at him in shock.

Meryl: Are those...

Onyx: The proof Hiccup needed to prove that the old man framed the dragons. It took ten hours of searching underwater, but... Ta-da!

Astrid: Onyx! That's amazing! ( Punched Onyx's shoulder )

Onyx: Ow...

Fishlegs: How were you able to hold your breath for that long...?

Onyx: Uh.... I may have almost drowned a few times... maybe, a lot of times.... okay, about twenty times.
