"That was a long time ago." The woman mumbles. Her eyes are hidden by a brown hood.
"Come on please." Ed pleads, hands clasped together.
"Yeah come on." Damon grins.
She looks up from under her hoodie. Her axe winking in the candlelight. A sigh escapes her lips and she sits back down.
"Back when the second war came around I had a wicked team. We were pretty good if I do say so myself. Not top of the class but still above average."
I watch as she looks down sadly at the axe. Coloured ribbons are wrapped around the handle.
"We had a chance to retreat. Everyone did and a lot of people were to determined to step down from the challenge. So we ran in and we were so shocked at the sheer number of enemies. We thought we could still defeat them. Nothing happened for a long time, just the standard have everyone's backs just in case. We did. Save a lot of lives. Also lost a lot of lives."
She pauses, her hood slides back a little. Blue catching the light. Damon and Ed lean forward in their seats, white and brown being swallowed by black. Mouths stretched into grins.
"We did win but we lost in a way as well. One of my teammates, Hiccup, got separated from us. Wanted to lead some of them away and take them out with another team. Worked. Lead a small group away but they didn't expect more to come back them up."
Ed's face falls. Wonder seeping out from his eyes and dread creeping in fast.
"We found both of them an hour later. Toothless had lost his leg and hiccup-" her voice wavers. Her arm scrubs at her eyes violently.
"He didn't make it," I add quietly, watching her face.
She gives a nod, confirming it. Ed winds a hand around his necklace, squeezing it hard. Damon watches, his eyes swirling as he watches the scene from her past. Her lips form a tight line.
"Yeah, a long time ago I had someone. He never came back and it haunts me to this day. That's why I'm here. Time to face a past I don't want to."
I frown and watch her face twist when Damon places his hand on her arm. His eyes glowing blue.
"I see happiness soon. You'll get your happy ending, just not the one you had the idea of when you knew Hiccup." He recites like a well-known poem. Voice smooth and calming.
Damon smiles at her, eyes returning to their pearly white. Blue fading away.
She gives a nod, lips still twisted from their brief touch.
"Thank you for your company. I have to get going now. Farewell." She stands and walks towards the door. Bell tingling cheerfully as she exits.
Ed and I turn to the blue-haired boy. The same question on our lips.
"A reunion between old friends and family. Romantic love is not the only love she is going to learn. Love comes in many forms."
Ed nods frantically.
"The Greeks had seven words for different types of love." He then begins to list them
I look out the window. Seeing a familiar brown hooded figure, stalking along the street. It stops and a black-haired woman flings herself into her arms. A large mam follows and lifts them both into the air. Twirling them both happily. A smile creeps onto my face as I can almost sense the love raiding from them. It's like when Damon hugs his family and Ed sees his. Not when Ed and Damon see each other or me. Or when Ed and Levi hug. It's a deep connection between friends that not even we understand.
Maybe one day we will but for now the story of Astrid, the fearless starts anew. A new chapter from the once concluded story opens.
