A Dragon's Way P1

"Urd. There you are." Said Hiccup finding her in the cave. He got off of Toothless as Ragnar found a huge branch to chew on near the cave. "What happened now?" Said Urd walking put holding a round object in her hand. "Dad and Gobber left two hours ago to recover another fishing boat. Another Dragon attack." Said Hiccup. "I want you and Ragnar to join us to talk to dad." He says as Ragnar and Toothless were playing behind him. "Talk to him about what?" Said Urd looking at his eyes. Hiccup tried to avoid eye contact and saw Ragnar tackle down Toothless who flipped him on his back by pushing him off roughly. "You want Dad to have a dragon? Have you been Loki'd by the twins again. Hes not going to give in fast and its gonna bite us on the butt." Said Urd. "Come on. Its gonna help him a lot as Chief." Said Hiccup. "But if it did work what Dragon species is perfect for him?" Said Urd. Hiccup raised his index finger up to answer her but lowered it if down and crossed his arms. "You have no idea. Do you?" She says. "We can find him one. Are you coming with me and Toothless or play with that Raven?" Said Hiccup seeing him perched on a tree root close by. "I dont play with him. Hes been around me since mom's burial and been a good help on my special bombs." Said Urd tossing it up and catching it. "Well please careful with those. The last time that happened the Twins got a hold of one and stunk up the academy for three weeks." Said Hiccup. "It wasnt supposed to stink. I was making a cloud bomb in case we go under attack." Said Urd. "Then what was in it?" Said Hiccup as the raven cawed loudly. "Ask Night Caller. Hes been showing me some new plants and other remedies for my bombs." Said Urd.

"Later. Right now dad could use some help on those ships." Sais Hiccup. Urd whistles to Ragnar who flew up instantly and snatched her up by the shoulders throwing her up on his back. She looked down seeing Toothless and Hiccup catching up to them leading the way. They soon saw the Vikings struggling to pulling the broken ships and went in with Toothless and Ragnars help. "This is the third ship this week." Said Stoick as Hiccup and Urd got off their dragons. "You gotten here sooner if you got a dragon Dad. Ow!" Said Hiccup after Urd punched his left shoulder blade. "Not this again." Said Stoick annoyed. Urd past him and Hiccup to check the ship while Ragnar left to scope put the area. She looked at the broken wood not seeing any burns or scratches and turned to Gobber. "You seen Gothi today?" Said Gobber. "Had my cream on and replaced my wrappings. Few more weeks until my next appointment." Said Urd as Night Caller landed on her right shoulder. "If isnt the demon bird." Said Gobber as Night Caller cawed angrily at him. "He gonna peak into your skin Gobber. Hes a wild bird." Said Urd scratching Night Callers head. "No kidding i almost my eye from fighting for my dinner back." Said Gobber. "Night Caller is quicker and smarter than us." Said Urd. "Im not riding a dragon amd thats it. You again?" Sais Stoick once he saw Night Caller. "What did Night Caller do now?" Said Hiccup. "He been bothering me by snapping at my hands while i was sharpening my axe before i was told about the ships. Wait did one of you name it?" Said Stoick looking at Urd and Hiccup. "I did. Havent you realize that after burying my mom that he has been around me mostly." Said Urd as Night Caller was cleaning his feathers. "No. I was too busy being Chief since the dragons came. And im not letting that stay in the house. We already have one dragon." Said Stoick looking at Hiccup. Urd glanced at Hiccup then went to find Ragnar who was sniffing the air letting out grumbling noise looking at her. She then looked at Night Caller who cawed gesturing towards Ragnar and found Hiccup talking to Stoick. "Dad. Hiccup. Im gonna get going." Said Urd getting on Ragnars back while Night Caller flew off her shoulder. "Get the men ready for repairs." Said Stoick. "I know Dad." Said Urd once they took off. She looked at Night Caller fly next to them letting the wind glide against his wings without flapping them like Ragnar and Toothless do.

Half the day being gone after coming home and telling the men who worked on the ships about the damages. Night Caller and Ragnar we're having their small fight over something as Astrid walked over to Urd who was watching the two. "What's going on?" Said Astrid. "I don't know. But just a heads up. Hiccup is convincing Dad about getting a dragon." Said Urd. "It sounds insane. But he could use all the help he can get." Said Astrid. "True but what dragon is right for Stoick?" Said Urd then Ragnar yelped in pain. The girls looked to see him rubbing his snout as Night Caller hopped away a few feet acting like nothing happened. "We know you bit him." Said Urd looking Night Caller who walked off before flying away. "So you want to go practice with me?" Said Astrid looking at her. "Sure. But i gotta help sharpen every ones swords and other blades." Said Urd as Ragnar nudged her. "By the did you find the tribe symbol on that necklace?" Said Astrid. "Nothing. Ive looked at every book i could find." Said Urd. "Have you talked to Fishlegs?" Said Astrid. "Yeah and he didnt know." Said Urd then saw Stoick on Toothless with Hiccup in front of him fly over them towards their house. She walked home with Ragnar following her until she got inside and flew off to the caves but Night Caller blocked his way. Ragnar roared at him moving the other way but Night Caller blocked him again and nipped at his fin like ears. He groaned in annoyance and followed him as Urd helped make dinner for everyone. "So Dad?" Said Urd fiddling with her necklace. "Yes. Urd." Said Stoick after taking a bite of his meal. "I was wondering if you know about this tribe symbol." Said Urd holding out the necklace for him and Hiccup to see. "Where did you get that?" Said Stoick. " I found it near my mom's body after I saw her skull." Said Urd. Stoick looked at it humming in thought before going back on his dinner as Urd and Hiccup looked at him then at each other. "Well do you know about it?" Said Urd. "Drop it. I know you want to know where your mother was from but its not something I want talk about." Said Stoick. Urd kept quiet putting her necklace in her shirt and ate her food. "Anyways I'm glad that you came to your senses on taking a dragon way a try." Said Hiccup. "Don'tgetyourhopeupjustyet." Said Urd quickly before drinking from her cup. She looked up seeing Hiccup glaring at her who in returned mouthed the word,'Watch Brother.' as they continue eating.
