Wolves And Dragons

The Harsh Truth

"Wait this is your little sister?" Snotlout said pointing at the girl. "Man you were right about her not looking anything like you!"

"Snotlout!" Astrid scolded and hit him on the back of the head.

"It's alright we get that a lot." Lupa chuckled. Then she turned to her older brother. "Man you really have changed big brother." She said looking at him up and down.

"Eh yeah I get that a lot too." Eret laughed. "Geez you look so much like mum now."

"Oh shut up."

"What? You do!"

"Okay we need some explaining, like right now." Ruffnut said interrupting them.

"Well where do I start?" Lupa asked.

"How about explaining where you've been all these years?" Eret suggested.

"Well obviously I've been running for my life most of the time. I never stay in the same place honestly." Lupa said. "Oh and I have trained my own dragon and a small pack of wolves as well!"

"We know that but why have you been attacking dragon trappers?" Eret asked. "Not that there is anything wrong with that."

"Well i was trying to find you. I would do my wolf howl, you know the one that gave you and dad chills remember?"

"I never heard it." Eret said. "I was attacked by someone with a different dragon though."

"Huh, guess you were either a solider of Drago or I never hit your base."

"Trapper, I was a trapper but I never heard of you till this morning."

"Well it's great to see you too." Lupa laughed and threw her arms around him in a hug. Eret looked at his uncle's dead body just laying there. Had Lupa seen it? Did she feel pity for the man who had been the only person kind to them?

"Lups I have something to tell you." Eret said breaking the hug. "It's about Bardolf."

He saw the look of worry in his sister's eyes. Should he tell her the truth? How would she react to finding out she was actually a bastard and the daughter of her father's half brother?

"Did he fight till the end?" She asked him.

"Yes he did but he told me something else." Eret said with a small nod. "He said he was our father's brother- half brother actually." Lupa gasped and looked back at the corpse as if expecting it to come to life and tell her it was true.

"I'm so sorry." She said burying her face into his vest. "I just can't believe we- he was just...oh Eret I hate myself for leaving." She said sobbing.

"And he is your father." Lupa stopped crying and yanked herself away from her brother.

"What? Bardolf is my father?" She asked covering her mouth and glancing at the body. "S-so we're not-"

"No we are Lupa we are siblings but we don't share the same father. But both our fathers shared the same father making them half brothers. You're my half sister and my cousin." Eret said quickly and felt like an idiot. "But we share the same mother and I will still love you like a sister. And no matter what I'll stay by your side."

"Like wolves do?" Lupa asked wiping her eyes. Eret smiled and pulled her into another hug.

"Like wolves do Little Wolf, just like wolves do. We're a pack, and we never give up on each other."
