The Ties that Bind us

Beginning

9 years before,

It had been years since the king of dragons fiasco, and Hiccup and Astrid were visiting Defenders of the wing island they couldn't visit as much since Berk moved islands. Hiccup and Astrid landed on the island, and each got off their dragons, and they started looking around for the leaders of the island. They didn't find Mala nor Dagur but they did find their kids.

Dagur and Mala had two twin kids who were 3 years old, Leyla and Dak were running around oblivious to the two riders that had arrived. The two riders started walking around, which made the twins finally notice their existence. Dak ran over to Hiccup and forced Hiccup to pick him up, Leyla ran over to Toothless and started petting his head. "Okay I see how it is." Hiccup laughs, looking at his niece giving his dragon attention. Leyla looks at her uncle before running over to aunt instead,

"Aunty Astrid." Leyla babbles at her, running over towards her.

"Hi Leyla." Astrid smiles, picking up the younger girl, "Any idea where your parents are?" Astrids question was answered by the younger girl shrugging her shoulders causing a laugh out of her aunt.

"No idea?" Hiccup laughs, cutting in the conversation of the two

"Brother!" Dagur's shout interrupts the conversation between the two of them, Hiccup turned to the voice and saw his brother Dagur the Deranged and Mala.

"Found them!" Leyla yells, towards her aunt causing another laugh from the women.

"Hi, Dagur, Mala." Hiccup greets.

"Hello, Hiccup." Mala says walking over to the man, "I see the twins found you both before we did."

"More like we found the twins." Hiccup laughs.

"Oh really?" Mala laughs.

"Yeah, pretty much." Hiccup responds, "So how's life been, I know we haven't been able to visit as much."

"It's been great Hiccup." Mala responds, "Other than two kids never listening." Mala laughs tickling her son's sides from where he was sitting.

"Mum!" Dak responds to his mothers actions, "Protect me!" Dak turned into Hiccup's arms attempting to get away from his mother. Hiccup laughs at his nephew's actions, and helps him hide from his mother.

"Oh really?" Mala laughs at her nephew and her brother in law.

Dagur and Astrid walk over to their lovers, joining the conversation. "Dad!" Dak yells towards Dagur, "Mum is trying to get me."

"How exactly?" Dagur asks, facing his son.

"She keeps tickling me!" Dak yells.

"Oh," Dagur responds, walking towards his son. "Like this?" Dagur asks, tickling his son's sides like his wife was.

"Dad!" Dak yells, attempting to push his fathers hands away.

"What?" Dagur responds, stops tickling his son's sides. Dak turns towards his uncle, and has Hiccup put him down. When his feet were on the ground Dak runs towards Toothless using him as cover from the adults. Dak started playing with Toothless leaving the adults and his sister. "So how have you been brother?" Dagur asks.

"I've been fine." Hiccup responds, "How about you?"

"I've been great," Dagur responds, the man looks over to his daughter who was still being held by Astrid. Leyla's arms were around Astrids neck, not allowing her aunt to put her down. "I see Leyla isn't letting you go."

Astrid looks down at the girl hugging her, "Yeah, she isn't going anywhere." Astrid laughs.

"Leyla, are you going to let your aunt go?" Hiccup asks.
