Astrid was still pretty upset about the whole marriage part. She wanted to be a shield maiden yes but... fate wasn't really kind to her.

Astrid really wanted to tell her best friend, Heather all about it! She gained permission from Stoick to head to Berserker Island.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

<meanwhile>

The dragon master was on dragon's edge, pretty much rebuilding a building that a dragon broke.

Toothless was right beside him.

"Toothless I'm fine."

Toothless gave that 'really?'

The dragon master rolled his eyes at the night fury.

"Well I guess I'm not fine."

He stops his work and sits down near Toothless.

"Well Berk decided it was a good idea to send me a bride! Using that poor soul as a gift to help Berk. Selfish huh?"

Toothless nodded.

"Maybe I should head to Berserker Island. I can tell Daguer and Heather about it."

He got onto Toothless and headed straight for Berserker Island.

<sometime later>

Astrid had just reached Berserker Island.

She immediately spotted Heather and so did she.

The two best friends ran to each other and gave each other a hug.

"Astrid!"

"Heather!"

"What brings you here?"

"Uh.. Well I need your comfort. Anyhow, this place looks better!"

Astrid said looking around Berserker Island.

"Yeah well, got to thank the dragon master. He helped me find my brother and helped to clear our misunderstandings with each other. If not for him, Daguer and I might not have reunited and rebuild our tribe!"

"Speaking of Daguer, where is he?"

"Oh your not the only one that arrived today. Daguer and his brother and chatting about some stuff. I don't think you guys met. Come on!"

Heather grabbed Astrid hand and pulled her to see Daguer and his brother.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The dragon master and Daguer were sitting on a bench, discussing.

"And that's pretty much it."

"Wow! I didn't know you got so famous until Berk would give a bride to you!"

"Give who a bride?" Heather said.

The two males turned their heads to see Heather and Astrid.

"Astrid! Nice to see you again!"

"H-hey Daguer."

Astrid and the dragon master locked eyes.

"I don't believe we met. I'm the dragon master."

He said as he took his hand out.

Astrid took his hand and the two gave an awkward handshake.

"I'm Astrid."

Astrid and heather sat on a bench just beside the boys.

"So, what did we miss?" Heather asked.

"Well, Mr dragon master over here was offered a bride from Berk as a truce."

Astrid's eyes widened. Heather noticed it immediately.

"Astrid? You good?"

"I'm fine..."

"Speaking of Astrid, I got to ask why are you here." Daguer asked.

"Well, I wanted to ramble about something that happened to be today to Heather."

"Well don't be shy. Tell us! Maybe we can relate." Daguer said.

Astrid was shaken. But she had to say something sooner or later.

"I... I was offered by my chief as a bride to the dragon master..."

The dragon master eyes widened in shock. Although he was wearing a mask, the shock could still be noticed.

Daguer and heather gave each other signs.

"I'm going to prepare some food.." Heather said.

"Wait for me!" Daguer said tagging along.

After the two siblings left, it was just the dragon master and Astrid.

"So.. Your chief just sent you off as a gift for a truce?"

Astrid nodded.

"And did you want it?"

"Well no offence but no. I love somebody else but.. everyone thinks he's a traitor even though I know he's not. I didn't really get a choice. He said that if I didn't make this so called 'sacrifice', the entire Berk would be at cost."

"That jerk! Not even taking care of his people!"

Astrid was at a loss for words. It was her chief he was talking about.

"I'm sorry if I scared you." The dragon master apologised.

"It's fine. Really."

He got up from his bench and took out his hand.

"I want to take you somewhere. Will you come with me?"

Astrid took his hand.

The two started to head to a corner of Berserker Island.
