My little Flower (HiccupxOC, part 1 of Grimborn Family AU)

Chapter 90 - Final Battle part 2

3rd Person POV

Viggo couldn't believe this was happening to him. The first shock of being picked up by the black dragon began to wear off and he started to kick fruitlessly into the air. One part of him was furious while another part of him was also scared at being at the dragon's mercy like this. Still, his anger outweighed his fear.

"What do you think you're doing!?" he screamed, trying to hit the dragon's belly with his fist. "You crazy lizard! Let me go!"

The dragon snorted and then, just like that, the claws around Viggo's shoulders opened.

It took Viggo a few seconds to realize that he was falling. But when it hit him, his mouth fell open in a shocked scream: "NOOO...NOT WHAT I MEANT!"

The wind was howling in his ears and Viggo flailed his arms, as if that could somehow save him from falling. He lost the air to scream.

This was it. He would die now.

But just as the ocean surface came dangerously close, Viggo felt a grip on his right leg. Hanging upside down, he chanced a glance at his savior and almost expected it to be one of the dragon riders. But to his surprise it was the black dragon again. "What?" he panted out, not sure if he could believe his own eyes. Was this dragon playing around with him?

The dragon made a deep rumbling sound, that sounded almost like a chuckle and when he eventually lowered his head to look at him with blind eyes, Viggo was pretty sure that the dragon did laugh. Anger filled him once again.

"Oh you think you're a humorous dragon then? Well that is not funny! Now if you would please..." Viggo swung his arms around and tried to gesture the dragon to pull him up. Very much to his surprise, the dragon understood.

With an amused chortle, the dragon reached down to grab Viggo by his tunic and pulled him up so that he could finally climb onto his back. Once Viggo steadied himself, he let out a deep sigh of relief. His head spun and there was a strange feeling in his stomach but that was something he could ignore for now. He was alive. So the dragon didn't want to kill him after all, but what did he want then? Viggo frowned. "You're the strangest dragon I've ever encountered."
Another gurgling sound was his answer and since the dragon seemed to understand every word that Viggo spoke, he decided to keep talking.

"So, since I am apparently stuck on your back, I suppose I have no choice but to trust you. Will you take me to Drago's flagship?"

The dragon gave a growl and then Viggo had to hold on tight as he sped up towards the approaching fleet.





The ships of both fleets were steadily coming closer to each other and it didn't take long until the first volley of catapult fire came from one of Drago's ships, missing Robert's flagship by a whisker.

Robert sighed in relief, though his body tensed with anticipation at the promise of battle.

Eira stepped to his side and gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze. The siblings shared a little smile and then Robert couldn't help but mock: "Don't be scared sis."

Eira huffed. "Who do you think I am?"

"There are a lot of lonely, angry men over there, probably just waiting to take out Drago's revenge on us." Robert shrugged and Eira let out a breathy laugh.

"Don't worry little brother...I'll make sure they won't rape you."

Robert faked an insulted expression but then both of them started to laugh before it was finally time.

"Fire!" Robert shouted as one enemy ship got close enough.

His men did as told and let the catapults loose. Countless, brown leather bags rained down onto the enemy ship, bursting to release green liquid wherever they came down. Drago's men stared at the substance for a second, confused.
