Fight or Flight

Last Rescue

It's been three days since the Skrill fight with Urd still on the Berserker ship in Dagur's room. She sat in the bed rubbing her head where she landed not bothering to look at Dagur who came in with a tray of food and water. "How's my beautiful wife doing?" Said Dagur setting the tray down. "We're not married Dagur." Said Urd. "Not yet once I get the Skrill from Alvin." Said Dagur. "It's not easy taming a wild dragon like the Skrill. You're only going to get yourself and the Berserkers killed." Said Urd. "No need to worry about me. I can learn to tame one with your help." Said Dagur. "Over my dead body." Said Urd standing up but stumbled a bit with Dagur didn't catch her. She pushed him off but Dagur held tight and kissed her face until they both fell on the bed. "Where is she?!" Said a voice. Urd pushed Dagur off her and headed to the door but Dagur grabbed her arm. She grabbed her dragon skull and hit him in the face with it making him let go. Urd got on the deck seeing all of the Berserkers down with Tiki still standing holding a soldier a few feet off the ground by the neck. "Uncle let him go. I'm fine." Said Urd as Tiki snapped his head at her direction before dropping the unconscious soldier. She rushed to his side hugging him as he checked her for any injuries and hit soldier in the groin with a donkey kick without looking. "Hissun?" Said Urd. "Hes not far. Whos he?" Said Tiki looking at Dagur holding an axe staring him down. "Dagur. My betrothed by my adopted father. He hunts and wants to kill dragons. He's insane even more since he's in love with me." Urd explained. Tiki looked at Dagur and down at Urd before hear a soldier held ready to decapitate her but Tiki turned towards catching the blade between his teeth shocking him. Without beat he threw the soldier overboard by tilting his head to the right spitting out the blade. "You can't beat us Urd. Just agree to marry me and we can talk this out." Said Dagur. "Yeah not happening." Said Urd.

"You sure because got a surprise for you and Hiccup." Said Dagur as the men brought in Stock tied up. "Dad?!" Said Urd. "You're not going to get what you want like this boy." Said Tiki. "I think I can fi Urd accepts me." Said Dagur. "You wouldn't even handle the traditions in my tribe to be accepted. Now. Let. Him. Go." Said Urd getting to his face angrily. "I will if you marry me." Said Dagur. "Nightfuries!" Said a man. Urd looked seeing Hiccup with Toothless and Ragnar who donated down as she and Tiki jumped on his back. She then blew the whistle to call Hissun and saw her pouches strapped to him. "Hiccup." Said Urd grabbing three and flew over to him. "Here. Trust me on this." Said Urd tossing them to him. "Are theses bombs?!" Said Hiccup. "Knock out powder. Just get Dad, throw it ,and leave fast before you or Toothless breath that stuff in." Said Urd. She flew over firing warning shots at the Berserkers ships with Tiki and Hissun. They both later saw Alvin fighting against Stoick and Dagur then Ragnar roared flying lower unexpectedly. "We need to get him back. He's still affected by the cream." Said Urd looking at Tiki. "Take him to the village now! I'll be right behind you." Said Tiki. Urd guided Ragnar to Berk trying to stay in the air feeling weaker and weaker but managed to land roughly on the beach. She got off looking at Ragnar who was getting drowsy and walked him to the hut Tiki made out of drift wood. Tiki and Hissun landed close by heading towards the two while Gobber came over. "Let him rest. He shouldn't flown here with new cream on him. This isn't the first. He'll be fine in a week or so." Said Tiki sadly. "I know you don't like this place but we are gonna have stay until Ragnar is fine unless Hissun can carry him." Said Urd. "Fine but I'm not setting foot in that village." Said Tiki eyeing Gobber who was checking on Ragnar. "Oh Thor. What's that smell?" Said Gobber backing away.

"The infection mixed with the healing cream my young cousin made. She's a Healer like Gothi." Said Urd. "Ah. Do you two want anything?" Said Gobber. "We're good. Just don't throw out the eels and snakes." Said Urd. ",I thought dragons are afraid of them?" Said Gobber. ",It's for me and my Uncle. We eat those, any meats we catch, and bugs too." Said Urd. "Alright I'll have Gustav get to that." Said Gobber once Ragnar slowly fell asleep. Urd walked over touching his head as Hissun came over to guard him. She saw the fire slowly dying and walked around to gather wood to keep it going. "You don't trust us. Do you?" Said Gobber looking at Tiki. "I don't want to lose her like I lost my sister. Lets leave it at that." Said Tiki. "He still doesnt think Stoick is good enough father for me and ask about mine. Everyone in the tribe dont ever talk about him." Said Urd coming back putting in the wood into the flames. "He can't be that bad." Said Gobber as Tiki picked him up by the back of his clothes carrying up the cliffs and dropped him there. "Okay family issues." He says walking to his shop. Sometime later Urd woke up to Toothless licking her face and Hiccup and Stoick talking. "He didnt hurt you did he?" Said Stoick. "No Dagur didnt do anything. Tiki got on board fighting every soldier on his own until.he showed me you all tied up." Said Urd as Hiccup noticed Tiki eyes were open not moving. "Thats how my Uncle sleeps. Touch him will earn a broken bone or a nasty bruise." Said Urd. "Ragnar is worn out from the cream my cousin put on his eye so we're gonna stay for a bit until he can fly normally." She says "We're camping here. That way we can keep a look out if anything happens." She explained. "Alright let us know if you need anything." Said Stoick walking with Hiccup. "I'll make sure Dad doesnt try anything. Night Urd." Said Hiccup as Toothless joined the dragon pile beside Tiki. He followed Stoick to their house and sat at the table knowing the position and look on Stoick's face. "Dad. Dont try to talk to Tiki. Hes just like you wanting to protect her from anyone that he doesnt know." Said Hiccup. "Why i took her in and taught her everything she needed to know as a viking." Siad Stoick. "Its not that. Urd told me that Tiki doesn't think gour good enough to be her father and dont bring hers up. I know theres gotta be reason why but we cant push them." Said Hiccup. "Alright I'll give him his space respect as we are Chief's. I dont to risk any war with them especially their appetite." Said Stoick. "You're telling me. I saw Urd eat raw meat from the eels and snakes." Said Hiccup then went to bed with Stoick doing the same. Hours gone by before the sun can reach the horizon of the sea Urd slipped a note under the door of their home. She turned to hug Toothless who looked at her sadly as Aesir came with a silver phantom givng her a ride. Ragnar is being taken by Hissun and a blind deathly galeslash. They took off right away with Astrid just waking up to look out the window. She jumped out of bed dunni g after them but it was too late as the deathly galeslash created some clouds from its breath making it impossible to see them.
