Blake was in complete shock. Stoick the vast, the enemy of his father was standing right in front of him

If he only had a weapon, he would charge at Stoick but he didn't have one, so he closed his fist as he tried to contain himself

"Y-Yeah... I'm... trying my best... Stoick" Blake said with a forced smile

"So, you know who I am. Your father has told you about me, hasn't he?" Stoick asked

"Indeed. He told me what I needed to know about you" Blake said

There was a clear tension growing between them, especially in Blake who wasn't going to be able to contain himself for long

Luckily, in that moment, Hiccup placed a hand on Blake's shoulder to calm him down

"Blake, I see you've met my dad" Hiccup said "So, what brings you here?"

"I just wanted to check on our... guest" Stoick said

"Guest? That's nice of you to say, if we consider that you captured me and took me away from my home" Blake said "But I still don't understand... why did you give me the chance to be one of you?"

"Alvin just wanted to use you as a weapon, that's why we take you away from Outcast Island, here you have the chance to have a better life, and I suggest you take it" Stoick said crossing his arms

"Just you know, if you're trying to make me doubt of my loyalty to my father, it won't work" Blake said

"But you're still here, you haven't tried to escape" Stoick said

"Why should I try to escape?" Blake said before pushing Hiccup's hand from his shoulder "You have dragons, so if I steal a ship or built a raft to return to Outcast Island, you'll be able to catch up with me in no time and I'll be captured again"

"You're not a prisoner here" Hiccup said

"It's still hard to believe... like I said, there's a huge void in my memory... and... I feel like it's not the first time this has happened to me" Blake said

"Come with me, I think there's something you need to see" Stoick said as he walked away

"This better be good" Blake sighed annoyedly as he followed Stoick "Thunder, come"

"I hope this works" Hiccup said as he followed them

Minutes later, they arrived at the docks. Some ships were being repaired while some of them were ready for sailing, but they went to one ship in particular

It was in a good state, even though it was clearly used a few times. They quickly got on board but Blake was really confused

"That's it? You bring me to a ship?" he asked

"It's more than that" Stoick said "Tell me, does it feel familiar somehow?"

Blake looked around the ship for a moment and realized that Stoick was right

"It... kinda does" Blake said "It kinda looks like the ships back... home"

Suddenly, Blake got another headache and fell to his knees, that was something Stoick didn't see coming

"Is he alright?" Stoick asked as he looked at Hiccup

"Don't worry, he might be remembering something" Hiccup said, and he couldn't be more right
