Son Of Lightning (Being Rewritten)

Chapter 4: Five Years Later

In The Cove
Astrid
~Sigh~ I sat on a big rock in the cove I found not long after Hiccup left. My dragon, Stormfly- a Deadly Nadder- lounged behind me on the soft grass. She opened her eyes and chirped at me.
"I'm alright Stormfly, just thinking" I said to her, keeping my eyes on the somewhat clear lake in front of me. She snorted in response, obviously not believing me. I just chuckled at her. I pray to the Gods that the village doesn't find out about her and the others.
"Alright" I gave into her, "I just hope that Hiccup is still alive and okay" I spilled, closing my eyes.
"Hiccup's just fine Astrid"
   I jumped when I heard a female voice behind me. I spun around, grabbing my axe, and saw no one but Stormfly behind me.
"Who's there" I yelled, worried about someone finding me with the dragons.
"Shit" the same voice cursed in a whisper. I looked around the cove and yelled out again.
"I'm right here Astrid" STORMFLY said lifting her head. I was so startled that I fell off the rock, but I quickly got back up.
"You can talk" I asked her, my voice surprisingly calm for someone who just found out their dragon could talk.
"Yes, I can speak human tongue" she said with a sigh, or what I think was a sigh.
"How long"
"Basically my whole life" she moved so she was sitting in front of me, (Astrid sat back on the rock) "We all can" she continued. Gesturing with her wings to the other three dragons, who all nodded.
"You might as well tell her" Barf said, "Now that you said something" Belch finished, both looking at Stormfly.
"Tell me what"
"That we know where Hiccup is" she said.
"What" I was surprised that my dragons know where Hiccup is, "Why didn't you tell me".
"We couldn't" Meatlug, a Gronkle answered for her.
"We were ordered to not tell you what we knew" Hookfang, a Monstrous Nightmare, said as he walked up and said next to Stormfly.
"Ordered , by who. Where's Hiccup"
"By Hiccup" Belch said.
"He's safe on Dragons Edge" Barf said.
"Can you take me there" I said without thinking.
"Huh?!"
"You sure about that Astrid" Meatlug questioned. I thought for a second before saying, "Yes, I'm sure". The four -five- dragons looked at each other.
"Alright, pack your stuff and meet us on the beach at sunset" Hookfang said. Sunset was in an hour.
"Alright"
* 1 hour later *
   I stood on the beach waiting for the dragons. Bags containing things I can't leave behind sat on the sand next to me. I watched the sun disappear. The sound of beating wings brought me out of my thoughts. I turned around when I heard them land. Stormfly had her saddle, that I made with many different animal firs, on her back. It was like the ones made for horses.
"You sure about this, 'cause once we leave there's no turning back" Stormfly asked. Funny how fast I got use to my dragons talking like I could.
"Yea, I'm sure Stormfly" I said as I put my bags on Barf+Belch and climbed on to Stormfly's saddle.
"Alright" we took off.
* Five Hours Later *
   We've been flying for about five hours straight. Meatlug ended up laying on Hookfangs back after an hour and a half. Saying her wings felt like they were about to give out -from trying to keep up.
"How much further Stormfly" said dragoness looked at a passing island before saying, "Not long Astrid, though we should find a place to rest....... like there." she flew into a cave in the side of a huge sea stack.
"We'll continue to Dragons Edge in the morning, kay" she said.
* Morning *
   I woke up to someone nudging my left side. I opened my eyes and saw Barf gently nuzzling my side with his head. My right hand moved down and rubbed his head. I sat up and saw Stormfly and Hookfang flying into the cave with fish in their talons. We spent about 20 minutes eating before we took off again.
