The Dragon Master Part III: End of an era (A Httyd Fanfiction)

Chapter 20: Losing your bloodline

(Enyo's pov)

"UP!! Everybody up! We begin our attack." 

Krogans voice woke me up and I groaned while sitting up, rising to my feet, I strap on my armor and weaponry as I then exited my tent to see Krogan already up and getting the rest of our Flyers up and ready for flight. Krogan turned to me and approached. "I could see that you're conflicted Enyo." He said, raising an eyebrow at my companion, I ask. "What are you... implying?" Krogan looked towards Berk and continued speaking. "I know that you do not wish to kill the Dragon Masters children." Turning back to me, Krogan gave me a reassuring smile and placed a hand on my shoulder. "Worry not. I will do it." 

That didn't make me feel any better, in fact that made me worse. But before I could suggest another way of hurting Hiccup Haddock, three Flyers approached us and spoke. "We're ready when you are Krogan." The man nodded at our Flyers and climbed on top of his Marsh Tiger and grasped the dragon proof reigns around its maw and turned to me. "We're soldiers Enyo. And we will follow our masters orders. Even if the orders are something... inhumane. Never the less, we have a mission to see to completion and failure is not an option." 

Sighing heavily, I nodded and approached my Triple Stryke, once on top of my dragon, Krogan barked out orders to begin our attack, Krogan took point while the rest of our Flyers followed him, I looked up toward the heavens and wondered what my dead family would think of me if they saw me now. Would they proud? Or ashamed? 

I already knew the answer to that question. 

Never the less, Krogan was right. We have a mission to complete and failure wasn't an option. So I urged my dragon to take to the skies and followed my comrades to Greater Berk, ready to kill anyone who stood in our way.

As dawns sun rose, Astrid awoke to the sounds of blood curdling screams and roars outside. Boating upright, the Hooligan chieftess turned to her sleeping friends who stayed the night with her and all slept downstairs with her.

"Ruffnut! Heather! Wake up!!" Astrid spoke up firmly, causing both women to groan in displeasure of being woken up so early, but an explosion outside woke up them up more and told them that something bad was happening. The three women grabbed their respective weapons— battle axe, doubled axe and spear as they opened the door and watched in horror as enemy Flyers were raining down fire on their home.

"Go!! Find the alpha and subdue him!!"

Astrid recognized that voice, lookin up, She bared her teeth in outrage at the sight of Krogan riding a species of dragon she's never seen before. The foreigner then turned to Astrid and smiled wickedly at her. "Well, if it isn't Astrid Haddock. Good morning!" He said in a mocking tone, causing Astrid's grip on her battle axe to tighten, Krogan then continued speaking. "I do hope for you and your people's sake that your alpha is here. Otherwise my Flyers and I will have to take... drastic measures."

Astrid stepped out of her home and snarled out. "How dare you intrude our home Krogan! Our alpha is not here! He's far from the reach of the Cabal." Krogan's face twisted with disappointment and rage, however, he nodded at Astrid's words and rallied his Flyers to him. "Burn the house down!!" Krogan ordered, Astrid's widened in horror as she was about to rush back inside and save her still sleeping children.

But it was too late.

Every Flyer under Krogan's command burned the house down, causing Heather and Ruffnut to grab Astrid before she got herself killed. "Get off me!! GET THE HELL OFF OF—" The house then caved in on itself and crashed to the ground still set ablaze and Astrid let sorrowful cries as she could do nothing but watch the children she bore die such a terrible death. Heather and Ruffnut did everything in their power to hold their friend back, but they too felt tears welling up in their eyes, because they helped Hiccup and Astrid raise those children and now? They're dead.
