Love in the Time of Dragon Riders 3 (HTTYD FanFic)

Chapter 11: And that's when they came.....

Glenn’s P.O.V

I watched my little brother Cody playing with the young Monstrous Nightmare that had recently come to Berk. Already the two were inseparable.

The feast was going well, I guess. After Hiccup had introduced me and the other new riders to Skylar and Willow, and explained what they could do we had all gone our separate ways. I had been assigned to Cody duty as my sister Alexa liked to call it. She was only two years older than me but she was pretty much the leading adult in my life. My parents died in the battle of the Red Death. Cody was 1, now four years later he hardly remembers them. Alexa has a Deadly Nadder called Tipper. Why they call her Tipper? Well assuming you won’t get the chance to ride her… she tends to tip a bit. Ok a lot, unless you know how to hold on you will probably end up smooshed on the ground. I had always been jealous of the fact my older sister had a dragon and I hadn’t but that doesn’t really matter now. I have Tempest.

I can’t explain what it’s like being able to talk to dragons 1) because you will probably never experience it so why tempt you, and 2) there just aren’t words to describe it, it’s like living in another world, a world which only you can understand. Eventually everyone sat down in a huge circle, all the tables had been put together so that no one had their back to anyone. I’d handed Cody over to Alexa along with the little Nightmare who had insisted he sat with him, and gone to take my spot with the other riders. Behind the riders stood their dragon, tall and proud. Once everyone had sat down, Hiccup stood up.

“People of Berk.” Hiccup shouted. “We are gathered her tonight to celebrate the return of two of our Riders, Willow, Skylar and their dragons.” Everyone clapped. “Well with out further a do, dig in!”

Were Vikings, when someone tells us to dig in… well we dig in.

Suddenly the lights went out, a cold draft blew throughout the Great Hall.

And that’s when they came.

Silent as the night they were, we couldn’t have seen them coming. Pale smoky creatures.

One appeared in the middle of our circle of tables. I felt Tempest’s hot breath on the back of my neck as he growled low and menacingly.

‘I always thought humans were such fools.’ Whispered the creature in the middle. I jumped he had spoken in my head. By the looks of the faces around me they had felt the same thing.

“What do you want?” Hiccup said threateningly from the head of our table, as he stood hand on the hilt of his sword ready to draw it.

‘You ignored our warning marked one.’ It said turning it’s gaze on Skylar who was standing protectively near Willow.

“Leave here et argentea.” (Silver ones) He snarled in the dragon’s language. Surprise flooded through me, he was like me.

“You have no business here leave!” Hiccup shouted as though over a talking crowd, but everyone in the room was silent.

‘Oh please be quiet!’ Said the silver smoky dragon in the middle. Hiccup crumpled, only to be caught by Toothless and Astrid who had both jumped to support him. They lowered him into his chair and tried to wake him up.

“What did you do!” Astrid cried, grabbing her axe from under the table. “I’ll kill you!” She launched herself at the silver dragon, jumping over tables, before sinking her axe deep in the smoke. It looked as though it stuck. The creature pulled it out with his claws before Astrid to, crumpled to the ground.

I stood up my bow and quiver at the ready. The thing turned its head scrutinizing me. Suddenly I felt myself grow taller. I gasped as the bow and quiver clattered to the floor. I looked up to find my head almost touching the roof. A few people screamed, I looked at my family to see Alexa holding Cody close to her.

That’s when I made the mistake of looking down. I yelled stepping back and crushing the chair I had been sitting in, with one of my enormous scaly feet. When I looked back up there were two new dragons in the room, they were making their way towards me, both silver, one had blue lines and the other had gold.

‘And this one is our property as well. You really are stupid, staying here with these humans.’ With one last puff of smoke, the creature disappeared along with its kin. That’s when the surprise kicked in. I screamed but it came out as a roar, stepping back again, almost crushing Tempest who jumped out of the way. The two dragons were by me now and were shoving me towards the door.

When we made it outside they transformed, shrinking down to human size. Looking up at me was Skylar and Willow. I whimpered slightly.

“What’s going on?” I growled, the Dragonese flowing from my mouth easily.

“You’re a shapeshifter.” Skylar said simply, just as Astrid stomped from the hall, Hiccup following. Both obviously had woken up once the smoke dragon had left. He looked from her to us before he hung his head and walked over to us.

“Is he like you?” Hiccup asked.

“Not sure,” said Willow, “he may have a partner maybe not.”

“He has a dragon you say?” Asked Skylar.

Hiccup nodded, speaking Tempest’s name. He came running from the hall and looked at me concerned.

A silent understanding went through the look that Willow gave Skylar.

“Ok, you have to trust me on this, I want you to close your eyes.” I looked down to see if Willow was joking, it seemed she wasn’t. I closed my eyes as her calm voice gave me instructions.
