"WHOOOO!" Snotlout shrieks from the back of Hookfang as he speeds passed his sister.
"Snot-face!" Ailith spits up to her brother playfully.
"Seasonal Freak!" Spotlight spits back.
"Seasonal Freak?" Astrid asks as Stormfly and her come beside Dawn and Ailith.
"We were looking at name meanings yesterday, Astra means Devine strength, Astrid means Godly Strength..." Snotlout scoffs as his sister continues, ignoring him. "And Ailith means Seasonal Warrior, and Snotlout isn't letting me forget it!" She says, glaring up to her brother.
"Ah sure, seasonal warrior is cool." Astra comforts as she flies up beside Ailith.
"Yeah I guess that's true, but nowhere near as cool as Devine Strength, or Godly Strength." Ailith says, making Astrid laugh softly.
Hiccup flies overhead, well more like speeds overhead. He looks to Astra with uneasy eyes. "The Berserkers are coming!" He says.
Ailith's heart stops as she looks to Astra, her face falls pale as she shivers. "Mr Haddock, I don't feel so good." Astra says(A/N: had to! I flipping had to!). Hiccup flies over and reaches from Toothless to comfort his sister.
"It's ok, Dad says he'll try and convince Dagur to leave the betrothal." Hiccup says in a comforting way. Astra sends him a weak smile before following after him as he leads the way to the docks. "I'm to hide the dragons, you're to greet Dagur with Dad and Gobber." He explains.
Astra was silent though, she didn't entirely know what to feel, excitement? Worry? Wait why did Hiccup need to hide the dragons? "Why hide the dragons?" The ginger manages to ask.
"Dad instructed me too, I guess the Berserkers still aren't aware of the peace between Dragon and Viking." Hiccup says casually, not realising the impact it had on Astra. He looked to his side only to see Astra had gone, he looked up and saw her speeding aback Spike.
"Can't do this! Can't do this! I thought marrying a Berserker was bad, then it turned out to be the next chief who also turned out to be a flipping dragon killer how can this betrothal get any worse?!" Astra exclaims aloud seconds before Spike lands and starts running.
Hiccup flies a small bit above but staying beside Astra. "Astra, please stop, you're making it hard for me too!" He pleads.
"Hiccup! If Dagur doesn't know that we don't fight dragons, then that means when I marry him I'll have to give up Spike!" Astra exclaims as she hugs the nadder. Hiccup sighs, her words were true, but he only prayed he could see the day where that deranged psychopath could see the good in such amazing creatures.
"But remember, he's not chief yet, if we tell Oswald the news of Dragons, he might be able to talk to his son." Hiccup says softly, making Astra pull Spike to a stop. Hiccup lands below Astra as Nadders are taller than fury's.
Astra nods her head. "But that doesn't change the fact I'll be married..." She starts but then the horns of the Berserker tribe interrupt her.
"The Berserkers." Hiccup states as he looks at the ship's on the horizon.
"Ew!" Astra says, making Hiccup chuckle. (In case no one understood that, Astra said she'll 'be married to' and was cut off by horns and Hiccup 'The Berserkers' aka plural, so therefore he implied Astra would be marrying more than one-ugh forget it it's not funny if I've to explain it!)
It didn't take long for Hiccup and Astra to hide their dragons, then they legged it to the docks and Astra stood still beside her dad. Astrid and Ailith runs up and the blonde whispers some bad news into Hiccup's ear.
"WHAT?" Hiccup whisper shouts. Ailith shivers slightly when she hears the Berserker announcing the chief, she tilts her head however as none of it sounds like Oswald. Hiccup tries to get his dad's attention while Astra slyly hid behind Stoick.
"Oswald The Agreeable?" Gobber states, only to be oh so..very wrong.
"Dagur, The Deranged!" Everyone's eyes were widened in shock, Astra's heart began pounding into her chest.
"No, no, no, this is all just a dream, this is all just a dream!" Astra tries to convince herself.
Dagur looks around and spits aside before delivering his signature smirk.
"Dagur?!" Stoick asks in disbelief.
"The Deranged?" Gobber continues.
"Oh no!" Hiccup says as he lets his arms sag. Dagur then tosses a tiny kitchen essential it looks like and almost slices through Hiccup's skull, but he ducks and the blade goes into the plank behind him. "Perfect." He says sarcastically.
"Dagur, where's your father?" Stoick asks while Ailith takes a few steps back with Astrid and then runs off. Astra looks after them.
"Don't leave me here!" She whisper shouts, looking back at Dagur then fleeing.
"My father has been, retired, he lost his taste for blood. I on the other hand am starving." Dagur sings, seconds before Astra catches his eye, her shrinking body that flees. "Astra!" He exclaims, But She was too far gone to hear. "Well that doesn't put this to a good start."
Ailith leans agaisnt the back of a house and pants as she rubs behind her neck. "Dagur, Berserker chief! Not good!" She manages to piece together as Astrid stands upright opposite her. Nearly a few seconds later Astra comes.
"GUYS! DAGUR'S THE BERSERKER CHIEF WHAT AM I GOING TO..." The ginger shrieks, then Astrid cover's her mouth.
"Shh! We know! But Astra, we've something quite important to deal with right now!" Astrid says as she addresses the zippleback footprints on the ground.
Astra's eyes widen as she looks up. "Zippleback...here?" She asks.
"We tried to find it but then the tracks lead us here!" Ailith says as she herself stands up straight.
"Holy..." Astra starts.
"Astra! Astra you need to come! Dagur is going crazy!" Gobber pleads as he comes up beside the Haddock.
Astra steps backwards and Ailith stands in front of her. "There is no way in heck she's marrying that no good son of a..." She starts to speak firmly, which isn't often seen from Ailith as she's usually a playful person.
"Get to the point, Jorgensen." Gobber says sharply.
Ailith just rolls her eyes, grabs Astra's arm and walks away. "You and I, are going until that deranged chief is gone!" She says. Astra rips from her grip as a response.
"What?!" She exclaims.
"We'll come back in a week, we need to be sure he's gone, we won't go too far." Ailith ensures.
"But still we should at least tell Hiccup." Astra says.
"Good plan, shall you go over to Hiccup who may I add is dining with Dagur?" Ailith asks sarcastically.
Astra groans. "Fine! But we're telling Astrid."
"Duh." Ailith says.
The girls mount their Nadder's and take off. Astra looks back to Berk and sighs slightly before looking ahead.
"We shall not be gone long. When we return, it'll feel like we never left." Ailith comforts.
"Yeah, yeah, fine." Astra says as she looks ahead. Spike squawks back to her, earning a weak smile as she pets his cheek.
The original plan was to leave for a week, then return. What could've gone wrong...?
Everything! Could've gone wrong!
