Austa sat on the other side of the fire, poking it. In this scenario, with Ailith cuddled against  her new friends wings, and Astra cuddled against Asgard's wings, she could relate to the fire, being poked at, the fire being her heart and the poker being a mother effin' blade. She was jealous. And of course would deny it if accused but in her head she knew it, she was green with envy almost.

All she could think about was Spark, and how he died, the snap of his neck and watching his body sink, having the noises made and played again.

"Austa?" She was dragged out of her thoughts by Ailith's worried voice, now closer. While her dragon was over next to Asgard, Astra sat next to her friend, Ailith on her way to be next.

This made Austa break down. Astra was the first to wrap an arm around her while Ailith rubbed comforting circles on her back. "It's not fair." She says.

The girls couldn't say anything otherwise they'd be be hypocrites. They all share one thing in common, the loss of their dragon, but Austa seemed excluded in the moving on process.

They felt in a way guilty, though they did nothing but make new friends, it's not like they'd abandon Austa. They'd never in a million years do such a thing!!! The silence that covered the air was deafening for Astra, it made her uneasy.

"The sky is dark, and the hills are white." She suddenly began singing a lullaby all the girls were familiar with.

"As the storm king speeds from the north tonight." Ailith continues.

"Isn't the lyric speeds from the storm tonight?" Astra asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Pot-ay-to, pot-a-to." Ailith brushed off. This lightened Austa's mood a good bit.

"And this is the song, the storm king sings." The blonde continued with one voice crack from crying, afterwards sniffing softly.

"As over the world his cloak he clings," Astra went on.

"Sleep, sleep, little one sleep, He rustles his wings and gruffly sings. Sleep. Little one, sleep." The three girls harmonised beautifully which lightened all their moods.

"We're honestly the queen's of cliché." Ailith comments.

"The goddess' of cringe." Austa adds, making the lot of them chuckle.

"I promise you, Austa, you'll find your dragon! And a beaut he or she will be."  Astra comforts.

"Thanks guys. Really, you're the family I've never had." Austa says as she wiped a stray tear.

"And you're the improved family we have." Ailith jokes, making Austa chuckle but Astra raise a brow with a grin of sorts.

"Oh come on, you can't deny she's more masculine than Hiccup and Snotlout will ever be." This comment made the entire group laugh hysterically, though Austa didn't understand entirely, it's still made her feel prideful she's more manly than boys. Lol.
