Httyd AU Fanfiction: Guardians Of Extinction

A Painful Truth

                     The next morning had come and gone as it was now late afternoon on the island of Dinky. The Veil family had enjoyed a delightful day of bonding, playing some games, going to the market and of course unloading all of the fish from their ship. They were all having dinner at the table with all of their bags packed and repacked. 

                      Calder looked to Ash's pile of bags and noticed he had more then Evelyn did, so he remarked, 

"Were only going to the Ice Planes you know, not packing for a months trip." He slurped up some soup from her spoon. 

"I always pack prepared." He informed him. 

"That's my son." Silver smiled looking at him. 

Then they all began to finish their food and stack their plates.

                     "I'll clean, you guys go ahead and get going." Silver implored picking up the plates. Calder got up and kissed her before they began to head out. They all grabbed their bags for Ash to kick open the door and hold it for them to walk out. All of them walked through the town through the busy market before they could make for the docks.

                       It was only a few minutes before they made their was to their ship to see the crew already there and waiting. 

Captain, Bolder bowed his head, i see you brought along my favorite worker. H

e saluted Ash with two fingers then grinned at all his bags, 

"I hope you packed your sea legs in all of that." Bolder hoped while they were walking up the plank to the ship. 

"Ha ha, what i really need is a sea stomach." Ash said already feeling the sea starting to rock him.

                       Thankfully the sea was calm on their way there and the winds so gracefully pushed them towards the detestation. It was only an hour or so tell they began to feel the cold of the Ice Planes.

                        Evelyn was unhappily untangling the fishing nets, while her brother was moving the empty fish barrels on to the top deck. While doing her work, Evelyn was peacefully sitting on one barrel that her brother brought up. She smiled getting the last not out and setting it on the ground. She turned around to see Ash seemly bringing out the last barrel as he set it down to lean on. She hopped off the barrel and walked over.

 "You done?" She asked folding her arms on the barrel and tapping her toe against the wooded deck. 

I'm technically never done when Bolder is ordering me around, but if you're suggesting a break i wont object. He lifted his head to rest his head on folded hands. 

"Well i was just going to ask if you wanted to greet Guardian with me." 

She grinned gesturing ahead of the boat. 

"Uh, sure." He gulped. 

"Oh come on this is your chance to be friends," she suggested.

                            She began to walk to the front of the boat and Ash hesitantly followed. They walked up the stairs to see their normal meet up spot. An indent in the planes with a few icebergs inside. Evelyn looked in the water for her white glow, or her to emerge from the snow. They both walked to the front and leaned on the rail to get a closer look. 

                            Evelyn bite her lip as she scanned the land and water, but came up empty. The seas were strangely quiet, not even some wind to fill the sky. She leaned over the railing a little to see better, yet she still saw nothing, important anyway.
