Love in the Time of Dragon Riders 2 (HTTYD FanFic)

Chapter 17: Fearmares

Hiccup's P.O.V 

The next morning, after a fitful sleep, I gathered the riders in the dragon academy. Only a few hours ago my father had called a meeting in the Great Hall telling everyone were he was going and that I would be taking his place for the time being.  

I cleared my throat gaining the attention of my friends. "So as you know, I will be cheif for the next few weeks." 

"Stop boasting Hiccup" grumbled Snotlout. 

I ignored him, "my father leaves in a few hours, which means we only have half the day left." 

"Why is that so important?" Skylar asked curiously. I had been completely against Skylar being a citizen of Berk, but after my dad met him and his 'funny' nature. Well for a to-be chief, I didn't really have a say in it at all. 

I connected my gaze with Astrid, she looked back confidently and nodded. "Astrid and I-" 

"I think we know where this is going." Smiled Ruffnut. I glared at her. "Ok, ok sorry chief, but it's the most logical explination when those names are put in the same sentance." 

"It's not like that." I said. "We have been looking at records of Night Furys, because well..." I looked at Willow and remebered her sorrow. "Before Willow's father passed on, he spoke of dragons, silver dragons, that were supposedly coming to Berk next." I quickly glanced at Willow and was surprised to see that her face showed to sign of emotion. "Knowing this we decided that if these dragons were to come here, we would need help. I am sure you all remeber the night of the attack a few months ago?" they all nodded." Th power that the Night Furys showed stunned and confused us all, that is why we were loking throught the records, trying to find any sign of this power that we had witnessed. We were unsuccessful, untill last night when I found this." Everyone came closer eagerly, "before you see this, you must swear that you will never tell anyone anything in this book." I said seriously they nodded impatient to see what I found. 

I brought out the book and watched as my friends poured over it, I pushed the eager hands out of the way and flipped past the pages untill I found the one I was looking for. "Isle of Fury," I said reading it out, "is the current location of the last Night Furys on earth. Sometimes known as Night Fury Isle, or The Isle of Night." Below this text there was a map that folded out. "This is were we are going today." 

"Why?" asked Fishlegs.

"Because if we are threatened by dragons we need help."

Astrid's P.O.V 

I wobbled slightly on Stormfly as the wind buffeted us. We had left several hours ago and already it was starting to get dark. The map had shown that inbetween Berk and Isle of Fury there was only one island, and seemed to be home for a large amount of Timberjacks. Willow and Skylar had assured us that along with their dragons they could keep the wild dragons away from us if anything got out of hand. I could see a dark outline on the horizon and guessed that that was our destination. 

I flew beside Hiccup who had the map. "Are we almost there?" I asked. 

"Yeah, it should be just up here." He said pointing to the shape I had noticed. "Riders, let's pick up speed shall we!" he shouted out, very leader like. 

I surveyed my friends and my eyes came to rest on Willow and Skylar, come to think of it those two actually made a cute couple. They were staring at each other with such intensity that it seemed like they were having a staring contest. I saw Willow humph and turn away from him. Feeling like I was intruding I turned away and looked at our target, encouraging Stormfly to pick up her speed. Best not waste time, the creatures of the night are not always as friendly as Toothless.
