The Mystery of the Dragon Riders

Chapter 4

“By the way, are those dragons??!!!!!! ” Tuftnut shouted as he pointed at the dragons. Camicazi just rolled and scoffed at his behaviour. “Are you blind? ”

“Are you guys riding it?!!! ” It Fishlegs turn to shout. The vikings didn't realise it until now as they could see the three people who greet them ten minutes ago was riding on a dragon and walked with them. “So cool...!!! ” Tuftnut and Ruftnut jumped and gave each other a high five. Stoick could not let this kind of demons survive to hurt more people and clutched his axe. Thuggary saw his action though.

“I wouldn't do that if I were you. Because if you throw that stupid axe onto our dragons, your head will be on the ground by a second.”

“How dare you say that?!!!! These are not pets, they are demons who feed on food, water and the lives of people!!!! And they should not be existed in this world!!!! How can you ride this demons?!!!! ” The next thing he knew, a dagger was thrown in front of his feet.

“Next time, I won't miss my shot. ” Heather said. “They are not demons and they are definitely no pets because they are our friends and families, so don't you dare judge it if you don't know anything!!! ” Stoick put his axe down as he could sense a dangerous aura around her.

They walked and walked until they came to a huge hall. The riders hopped off their dragons and let the dragons ran off.

“Let me introduce ourselves first. Again, my name is Thuggary, the right hand chief. ”

“I'm Heather, the dragon trainer mentor. Nice to meet you. ”

“Camicazi. And I still don't like you. ”

“Where's the chief? ”

“The chief is busy. You might need to wait for a while. In the mean time, let's start with the rules first. ” Thuggary said as the vikings nodded.

“First, no weapons that including your axe. Second, no hurting or insulting dragons. Third, the lights out at 10 sharp. Forth, breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided at the hall. Fifth, you could explore the room except the room number 10. It was strictly exception. Violate the rules will be end up in punishment penalty or banished from the island. Clear. ” Thuggary stated as the vikings took a rapid nod again. Stoick was feeling embarrassed of himself thinking that he needed to take order from a tiny right hand chief even though he himself was a chief.

“The chief should be here for another hour. ” Heather said as she looked through the clock thinking the chief was having his own 'time'. Camicazi just smirked at her statement thinking the same thing. It brought a confusion to the vikings though.

“I doubt that he is good chief. A chief should be extremely discipline in his timing...! ” Stoick huffed. Camicazi was furious and ready to give him an ass a bit.

“You are saying like you are good chief. I highly doubt that. You don't even care about your son, Hiccup and the villages. ” Thoggary said sarcastically. Stoick furrowed his eyebrow thinking he was done with his insult but then, a realization hit him. “Do you know my son?! ”

“Everyone. ” Camicazi said.

“He was amazing, you know? He could build lots of house, weapons anything...!!! He was the best blacksmith I've ever known! In fact, everyone here in Zuka Island was built by your son. You should be proud of your son. ”Thoggary rolled his eyes in amused pretending to be offended and jealous at his best friend as Heather continue saying. Her eyes shone with excitement but gradually replaced with sadness.

“But? ” Gobber asked.

“He's dead. ” Thoggary said without even stuttering. The rest of the Dragon Riders just stood there blankly watching Stoick reacted. The word dead pierced his heart as he spoken. That moment, Stoick truly felt his heart shattered into pieces. His whole body went numb as he almost fell onto the ground. Even though he was already prepared for this, but the harsh reality had truly shot him right on the spot. “Dad? ”
