Fight or Flight

Riders of Berk

Urd walked into the house grabbing Ragnars saddle from her room and turned around to find Stoick standing behind her crossing his arms. "What did we say about flying, Urd?" Said Stoick. "Oh come on. I can barely feel the pain on my back anymore. Its been six months." Said Urd. "Not happening. Go help at the farm." Said Stoick taking the saddle from her. "If i know you've been riding Ragnar. Im locking him up and be cleaning the dragon droppings." He says putting the saddle back on the wall. "Speaking of Dragon droppings. I have some good ideas on where they can release their load." Said Urd following him outside. "Now isnt the right time. I need to help rebuild the huts that were burned by dragons. Go see Bucket. Im sure he has a job for you." Said Stoick. Urd heard Ragnar land close by and went over to her. She patted his head after he nudged her on the side gently. "Sorry. Stoick is not letting us fly for my back. If we get caught im gonna be on poop duty and you locked up on the arena." Said Urd as Ragnar snorted. "If it isnt my beautiful girlfriend." Said Snotloud. "Not your girlfriend and everyone here knows im betrothed." Said Urd. "He doesnt have to know. Im the best viking there is." Said Snotloud following them to the farm. "He will and slaughter you on the spot." Said Urd. "Hey training is that way." Said Snotloud pointing the opposite of where shes going. "I have no choice but to help out besides training and flying." Said Urd. "And im not going to pick after everyone's dragons or have Ragnar locked up." She says. "Maybe your future husband can help you with those chores." Said Snotloud wrapping his arm around her shoulders. They went to the farm seeing Bucket carrying some blankets. "Bucket im here to help you on the farm." Said Urd after shoving Snotloud away from her. "Oh good. We have a sheep ready to give birth and a yak having four on the way." Said Bucket handing Urd the blankets. "Ready to deliver w-Snotloud!" urd says then saw him running off. She saw Hookfang flying over landing next to her sniffing her. "No big fish boy. Got delivery to do but can light Snotloud up for me?" Said Urd. Hookfang roared softly and flew off leaving her with Ragnar who narrowed his eyes at her. "What? He was begging for it after i rejected him countless times or are you jealous that Hookfang likes me?" Said Urd as a bunch of hay hit her in the face. She brushed it off as Ragnar waved his tail towards the hay then stopped to see some new goats. "Play nice. Berk is still on edge with the Dragons with us." Said Urd walking inside the barn. She went to the stable laying down the blankets to the sheep who was resting on her side breathing slowly.

After four hours of cleaning after the sheeps and yaks Urd sat down making ropes until Ragnar came over. He took the rope away from her and ran around once to get her full attention. "You want me to follow you?" Said Urd seeing his grin with friendly growl. "I have to Bucket know before i can leave. You know how Dad and Hiccup are after my near-death experience." Said Urd standing up. She walked to Bucket who feeding the chickens in their pens and lookes at her. "Hey Bucket. I need to go somewhere its making Ragnar impatient." Said Urd as Ragnar roared at her. "Yes. You are. Dont get your tail in a twist." She yelled. "Looks like your good. I'll let Stoick know where you been." Said Bucket as Ragnar grabbed Urd by her left leg with his mouth and took off into the sky. "You do realize we are dead meat when Bucket tells dad right." Said Urd seeing they were heading to the beach. She got dropped two feet above the sand as Ragnar gesturing her to follow. Ragnar went to close to where the spiked rocks were and looked at the hole he digging. He looked at Urd who glanced down seeing a something down but cant see it due how dark it was. "Have you been digging here all morning while you were out flying?" Said Urd looking at him. She sat down on the edge of the hole and slid down landing a good fifteen feet and knelt down to feel around. "Urd? Where are you? We got a problem." Said Hiccup above her. "Ragnar where is she?" Sais Hiccup then saw the hole. "I need spme light down here." Said Urd. Ragnar crawled into the hole and lit his mouth making Urd scream a bit for Hiccup to hear. "Urd?! What is it? Are you okay?" Said Hiccup worried looking down. "Im fine." Said Urd looking at a human skull in front of her. "Why did you scream? Whats down there?" Said Hiccup. Urd looked at the skull and dug around the sand for anything and felt something brush against her fingers while she moved the sand around. She picked up the object to find a necklace with a stone pendant and heard Ragnar growled at something while he was digging. "Urd? Whats going on? Youre freaking me and toothless up here." Said Hiccup as Urd climbed up sometime later with Ragnars help. "What was down there?" Sais Hiccup looking at her. "I'll tell you and Dad later. Now w-" Loud screams and roars cane be heard catching the sibling's attention and got on their dragons to see what was going on. "Yeah Dad is thinking of getting rid of the dragons wild or not. They destroy and eat everything if you got any ideas. Now would be good?" Said Hiccup seeing a purple changewing stealing some fresh bread of a woman's hands. "My idea was to use their poop for the farm. Its good up to six months." Said Urd. "The gang are putting out the fires so far." Said Hiccup. "URD!" Stoick screamed. "Oh Thor. Looks like Ragnar and i are busted." Said Urd as they landed in front of him. "Dad. I know that i " "I dont to hear a word. I told you one simple thing and did it anyways. Go lock him up in the arena now." Said Stoick. Ragnar walked to the direction of the arena with Urd behind but stopped to look at Stoick. "Just so you know. Ragnar found my mother's body. You'll find the location at the beach where you found us." Said Urd walking back with Ragnar. She opened the gate to one of the cages letting go inside amd her following knowing he'll panic every time he's in cages or nets. 'Thanks.' Ragnar roared softly laying down sadly. Urd sat down beside letting his head rest on her lap and took out the items she found on the body. A pendant of a dragon with the Celtic trinity knot and the Dragon hunter knife with the symbol faded out on the end of the handle.
