They traveled through the clouds and over the oceans.

Hiccup sat there holding onto his saddle as Toothless flew towards the area they needed to be. He was determined to stop them... he had to somehow.

Valka rode up beside him

Valka rode up beside him. "Now... under no circumstances are we to be seen and we cannot be in range of the ships. The Imperials have dragon killing ballistas like we had, mounted on every vessel, even the transport ones. They can kill a dragon with one blow," she said, shouting over the sound of the wind.

He looked over at his mother. "I know. We land far enough away to where they can't see us. I'll go in closer leaving Toothless with you guys so I can listen in," he said and put a hand up. "And do not protest because I am not changing my mind," he added as they continued to fly.

"I'm not the one you'll need to convince," she said in regard to Astrid. "But you know they are here for the caverns. In there is your best bet to see what they're up to..."

"I know." He gave a nod. He then moved so Toothless got closer to Astrid and Stormfly. "Astrid, you're staying with my mom and the dragons. I am going to go in and investigating," he told his wife. "And no following and no telling me otherwise. This is a chief's duty."

"What?!" She said over the wind, not hearing him at all.

He sighed running a hand through his hair. "Just stay where we land got it?" He shouted

"Stay in the sand! Got it!" She gave him a thumb's up.

He sighed giving up and they soon landed near bushes and trees. Hiccup unclipped his prosthetic and got off toothless. He then grabbed his sword.

Valka dismounted. "Hiccup's right. We would do best split up. A lone wolf is more easily hidden than a pack."
