Lost and Found: Sister

Run Ins

Hiccup sat at the table, eating breakfast.  His mother had gone out to feed the dragons, and Hanna had found something about the Dragon Eye.  Toothless was playing with Blade near the forge.

Hiccup didn't know what to do, but he didn't mind.  He was excited.  He had figured out his mark.  It even had colors!

He decided that after breakfast, he would go and track down his sister.  He'd take a few Rumblehorns with him.

Hiccup couldn't wait to show her the mark, which he had hidden in his sketch book for the time being.

He quickly finished his breakfast, then ran to the sanctuary to grab some Rumblehorns, but the Dragon haven was empty.  Hiccup suddenly reminded himself that it was feeding time.  He would have to wait for his mother to return.

So, he decided he would use the empty sanctuary as a training arena.  He mounted his Dragon and took off.  They sped around the outerwalls a few times, before dropping altitude until they were just above the water surface.  Their speed once again caused a wake, almost taller than they were.

But then, Hiccup pulled Toothless up.

"Alright, I know this is going to sound weird, but I think that's enough speed for right now."

"What?!" Toothless roared.

"Well, mom's going to be back any minute, and we should save your energy for the journey.  We have no idea how far Hanna and Stonescale went."

Toothless sighed.  "Fine."

They continued to soar slowly around the sanctuary, taking in all the different colors, and how pretty it really was.  They continued, that is, until they heard a wave of squawking getting closer every second from outside the icy walls.

Suddenly, blotches of all colors and sizes zoomed through the cracks in the walls.  They kept coming, and once they were all in, a large, sucking sound was heard from the water below them.  The Bewilderbeast rose out of it before settling down in a comfortable position.

"Hiccup," a voice spoke from behind him.

He turned around to see his mother, fully dressed in her uniform, standing atop Cloudjumper.

"Hey, mom.  How was feeding time?"

"Great.  The dragons all had a good meal."

"Awesome.  Anyway, I need to go and find Hanna.  Can I take Skullcrusher and Windblow out with me?"

"Sure, but be quick about it."

"Thanks!" he exclaimed before rushing off.

He gathered the two Rumblehorns and zipped out into the open sky.

"So, what exactly are we finding?"

"Whatever it is, we'll track it down fast," Skullcrusher exclaimed, bucking his head.

"I need to find Hanna.  I have to show her something," Hiccup said.  "Plus, I'm bored."

"Oh, that's easy."

The large dragons sniffed the air before letting out a threatening growl and charging forward.  Hiccup followed them as they headed south.

It was a smooth ride, and they were getting close to Hanna when Hiccup spotted some unsettling ships approaching on the horizon.  As they got closer, he realized who they were.  He would recognize that insignia anywhere.

The Bloody Barbarians.

"Hang on guys.  We're going for a ride."

The ships seemed to be minding their own business.  That is, until they spotted Hiccup and Toothless.
