The Threat of Dawn (Discontinued)

Overwhelming

"I'm sorry for your loss, Hiccup. I couldn't have asked for a better chief. And... I'm sorry about your, Behe- Bewil... Bewilderbeast, Valka." Pheonix grabbed her head with her hand. She couldnt think straight with everything they just told her. Great Odin, this headache is bad.
"I'll get some water." Fishlegs said standing up searching for something to put some water in. She nodded in acknowledgement and turned to her dragon. She carefully stood up and crouched in front off him.
"And ,Sol, this... This is amazing..." Phoenix didn't know if she should be happy or sad. Yes, Sol found his family, but now he'll probably leave her to go with his them. Which is understanable. Their free from that alpha's control now. He...he can be free from me and fly on his own... She hugged his head when he nudged her out of her thoughts. Some tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I'm happy for you." She whispered. She let go of Sol and and looked at him, a small smile appearing on her face.
"I'm sorry to break up your little moment. But I think it's for the better if we make haste. Drago is on his way to your village and he won't wait for you to hold him back." The guy now known as Eret said in a serious tone. Phoenix rolled her eyes at the way he spoke. Must all Dragon Hunters be this serious?
"Sol, we have to ask you for a favour." Hiccup asked as he got closer to the dragon and his rider. He looked at him and nodded.
"Would you, and your Valor, be able to get us to Berk?" The dragon nodded again befor he turned and roared to get the attention of the other Sand Wraiths.

It didn't take long for everyone to get on a dragon, well, everyone but the twins. Since there were only seven dragons and nine of them they had to share.
"Why do we..." Ruffnut pointed to her and her brother in a dramatic way.
"have to share a dragon?" Her brother finished for her.
"Because you already share one. How come you just have a problem with it now?" Astrid said annoyed. The Sand wraith that stood next to them seemed to share Astrid her opinion and pushed the twins on the back off another dragon. Astrid smiled smugly at the twins as they looked annoyed at her. Astrid then turned to the dragon who also had a smug expression.
"Not bad, I like your style."
"Then why don't we fly with... her?" Hiccup said looking at her in a questioning manner.
The Sand Wraith walked to them, allowing them to get on.
"I'll take that as a yes." He got on an held out a hand to Astrid.
"Mi'lady." Astrid took his hand and got on. She tied her arms around his waist tightly.
"Are you ready to go, lovebirds?" Phoenix asked them in a taunting manner. They nodded. She looked at other riders who nodded too.
"Please take is easy, Sol, I'm not feeling too well, yet." Sol crooned softly at what she said while the others looked guilty. Phoenix noticed.
"Hey, it's not your fault. Now lets get in the air." She comforted the Valor before Sol carefully took off.

The group off Dragon Riders had been in the air for a while now, yet, no one had said a single word. Sol flew in front of his Valor, he tried to act as a real alpha this way. Even though his wings were sore from crashing and flying, he kept on going and pushing himself to the limit. Phoenix was on his back and wasn't doing any better. One hand held onto the saddle, while the hurt one clutched onto her stomach wrapped in some spare fabric with the paste underneath. She knew Fishlegs watched her carefully, just in case something happened. But what if that something wasn't to happen to her, but to Sol?
"Okay boy, you really don't need to keep up the act. Let someone else take the lead, please?" It wasn't a question really, more a demand. Sol grumbled at what Phoenix said, but obliged anyway. Sol looked in the direction off the Sand Wraith that stopped the twins their argument before. She knew what he wanted and immediately took action. Both off them skillfully switched without bothering any of the other Sand Wraiths.
"What was that about?" Astrid asked Phoenix who was now behind her.
"Sol is exhausting himself more then he has to." Phoenix answered. Sol grumbled in annoyance.
"Oh c'mon, you know I'm right." Phoenix said as playfull as she could.
"Now that we are talking anyway... What is your plan, Hiccup?" Hiccup looked startled at Phoenix when she said his name.
"Yeah babe, what is your plan?" Astrid asked Hiccup.
"I... ehhm..." he looked overwhelmed.
"It's okay babe, whatever happens we'll be by your side." Astrid said as she looked around to the others for reassurance. Hiccup looked around to see the nodding and smiling faces of his friends. He started to smile too.
"Okay, so I was thinking we would try the same as with the Red Death..."
He explained as they flew on.
