Fight or Flight

26

Its been weeks with Urd joining the team temporarily until the Dragon Eye isnt in the wrong hands. She was in the cave with Aesir cleaning out the fish they caught while Rune left to check on their home. "Hey." Said Snotloud peering in. "What is it?" said Aesir looking at him. "I wanna fight with you guys." said Snotloud. "We break you before you move." said Aesir. "What afraid to take a shot?" said Snotloud. "Snotloud." said Urd as Aesir got up. "im gonna go talk to hiccup." she says walking by them. She walked to the headquarters seeing Hiccup and Astrid looking at the images shining from the Dragon Eye. "Still on the Dragon Eye again?" said Urd walking over. "Yeah. Its showing every dragons information we knew and some we never heard of seen before." said Hiccup. "I know you guys are thrilled about this but." She stopped to look at the fist crest at the center with an emotionless expression when Astrid snapped her out of it by clearing her throat. "I got some bad news." said Astrid. "What kind of bad news?" said Hiccup as a Hook fang like dragon flew in with a young teen. "Gustav? What are you doing here?" said Hiccup. "Im done with the academy and want to join you guys." said Gustav seeing Urd. "Why hello?" said Gustav approaching her. Urd looked at him then at Hiccup and Astrid confused on whats going on. "Gustav thats my sister Urd. Shes the chef of the Xynakas known for eating human and dragons." said Hiccup. "Oh yeah I remember her. I guess we'll be getting to know each other." said Gustav. "if you beat my cousins, learn to eat, act, and fight like my people without dying then we'll talk. Astrid knows." said Urd. "Can i borrow this?" she asked looking at the Dragon eye. "Go for it." said Hiccup watching her take it. She walked out then stepped back for Snotloud to fly past her screaming and groaned after crash hardon the impact. Aesir walked into view covered in blood scaring everyone except Urd who talked to in their tongue before they both left to their hideout. "Who's he?" said Gustav watching them go.

"Thats one of Urd's cousins and from the looks of things. Her best warriors to really hurt Snotloud." said Hiccup seeing him upside down unconscious talking backwards. "Remind me to train with them after Gustav is gone." said Astrid. Urd walked to Aesir holding up the dragon eye whistling for Hookfang to came throwing a huge fish at him for listening and a scratch under jaw. "Can you shine some for us?" said Urd after twisting the dials. She held it up when Hookfang lit a bit of flame from his mouth to shine through the dragon eye revealing a map until Aesir shouted in their tongue. "What OW!" said Urd falling hard to the ground. "Hey Urd." said Gustav. "GET OFF!" said Urd once Aesir picked him up off the ground. "Urd?" said Aesir holding Gustav up. "Im fine." sad Urd getting up slowly then hissed in pain when she put her weight right ankle. "Are you okay?' said Gustav. "Get him out before i strangle him to death. Take this back. I saw where we need to go." said Urd tossing him the dragon eye. "What she say?" said Gustav. "You hurt my cousin and we are doing something very important things that doesnt concern you or the riders. Now leave us alone or i will hurt you. If you dont believe me ask Snotbreath." said Aesir holding him like he weighed nothing the whole time they went to the main hut dropping him. "Do i need to know what happened?" said Hiccup. "He crashed on top of Urd causing a sprained ankle. Lucky for us we have places to go. Won't be long." said Aesir handing the dragon eye to hiccup. He went back to Urd wrapping her ankle tightly in a bandage drenched in green juice and stood up carefully. "Let get going before that idiot does anything else." said Urd whistling for Ragnar with Toothless behind him. They both growled looking at her ankle approaching her nudging her in comforting way.. "Im going to be okay. Ragnar. We got a mission." said Urd making Ragnar snort. "Come on i had worse than this remember." said Urd getting on his back. "Toothless do us an important favor and dont let that Dragon out of you or Hiccups sight." said Urd as they took off. Aesir got on his dragon taking off following her into the sky hiding above the clouds for any dragon hunters. They flew to a deserted island looking around for a safe landing until Urd saw a ship sailing away. Urd looked at Aesir nod her head before swooping down jumping off landing on her feet with Ragnar close to her. She walked a bit after seeing Aesir went after the ship without being spotted looking what they came to do.

Urd began setting camp with Ragnar lying next to her near the bonfire looking out at the sea when Rune came with a Boneknapper walking over to them. "Did you find it?" said Rune looking at her. "Yes but very dangerous just walking inside. Aesir?" said Urd. "My dad wanted him with him to relocate the village. HE was too close into find us." said Rune. "Oh Thor. Was anyone hurt?" said Urd. "Everyone hid down into the caverns with the dragons. We need to get those lenses before Hiccup, Dagur, or even Him can find it." said Rune. "Dont you think i know that. They could be further down and im not in good condition to get it." said Urd watching him sit down with her. "Aesir told me what happened." said Rune. "You're not going back. Are you?" said Rune. "Not until that Thing is destroyed." said Urd unwrapping her ankle seeing the swelling is going down just barely. "I got more of that on me." said Rune taking the jar out of his bag. He handed it to Urd poured it slowly on the wrap before bandaging her ankle again. "Rest it's getting late. 'Nape. Ragnar. You know what to do." said Rune laying down in the sand with Urd who was looking out the waters. "Urd." said Rune snapping her out of it and closing her eyes. After a few hours they both heard voices and footsteps coming their way. "What happened to my wife's ankle?!" said Dagur making Urd snap her eyes open. "We're not married." said Urd facing him and Gustav. "Gustav what are you doing here?" said Urd standing up but almost fell if she didn't grab Dagur to catch herself. "Why ae you with Dagur?" said Rune getting up to pull her away from Dagur. "We're here for treasure that i found." said Gustav holding the Dragon. "That didnt answer my question." Rune says. "What about you two?" said Dagur. "We arent going to you two." aid Urd. "Oh you will if you want Gustav here to live another day." said Dagur. "Im gonna kill him." sad Rune. 'No. Go with Ranar and get hiccup.' Urd said looking at him. "Now." said Urd as Rune stormed off cursing in their native tongue. "What did you tell him?" said Dagur. "I'll take you to what you re looking for. Ive been there and havent found anything yet." said urd standing in front of them. "Good Just show us where to go." said Dagur before picking her up by surprise. "What are you doing?!" said Urd looking at him. "I dont my wife to injure herself than she already has." said Dagur following Gustav to the cave entrance. "Just go inside carefully. This place is very delicate to the weight and sound." said urd Wrapping her arms around Dagur so she wont fall. "So Urd? Were you looking for the treasure too because i saw that you know that Dragon Eye Be" "Gustav, Shut up." Urd growled. She looked around carefully before Gustav had FangHook light the Dragon Eye to show them where to find the lense. "Avoid the cracks so you fall down to the spikes." said Urd.
