Opposition (A Httyd Fanfiction)

Chapter 11: Battle cry

(Normal pov)

"King Haddock has been taken!!"

"The heathens have stripped away our leader!!"

"What do we do?!"

Many of Arendelle's citizens laid eyes on Hiccup being taken by the Berserkers while on the backs of their Razorwhips, news of Hiccup being abduction spread like a wildfire throughout Arendelle, soon enough all its citizens were demanding what actions would be taken to get the king back. Many of Arendelle's prestigious lords and nobles did what they could to control the raging mob outside the palace gates, but things were quickly getting ugly, Arendelle would soon be plunged into anarchy.

Valka was with Rebecca and Gideon, the two children held their grandmother's hands and were obviously not used to seeing the people of Arendelle so fearful and angry. The elder Haddock kissed her grandchildren's heads and cooed reassuring words in their ears while also praying that her son would survive whatever ordeal he was about to encounter once he was in the hands of the Vikings in Wales. She knew that the Vikings would give Hiccup a death that suits a traitor, but not before making him suffer before finally putting him out of his misery. Feeling nauseous at the all of the horrific things these Vikings were going to do to her son, Valka took a deep breath and calmed her racing nerves, until the nauseia died down. Hiccup would want her to be strong during this time, and Valka would be strong for his sake and the sake of her family.

"Lady Valka?"

Looking up at one of her sons bodyguards, she nodded at him in greeting. "Yes?" The guard then gestured towards the docks. "King Frederic, Queen Arianna, and Princess Rapunzel of Corona have just docked in the harbor," the guard then continued, "they're here because King Hiccup wanted their support to fight the Vikings in Wales." Nodding in understanding, Valka told him that she'd be on her way to greet them personally, causing the guard to nod and return to his post.

"Come now my darlings," Valka smiled at both Rebecca and Gideon, "lets get some fresh air and greet your relatives from Corona." Both Rebecca and Gideon's eyes lit up with excitement, both of them loved spending time with Rapunzel as well as Corona's king and queen.

"I'll race you Gideon!"

"Then get ready to lose!"

Soon enough, both children quickly grabbed their winter coats and raced down to the harbor, Valka grumbled under breath but also took great joy at the sight of her grandchildren living their lives to the fullest. She too got up and jogged after her grandchildren. "It is rude to leave an old woman out in the cold," Valka barked out at the two heirs of Arendelle, "will you not keep me company while we greet our relatives together?" Both Rebecca and Gideon gave Valka sheepish smiles while also giving her an apology and ran back to her while taking hold of one of her hands and the Haddock trio made their way down to the harbor.Handfuls of Arendelle's soldiers rallied around Valka and the future heirs while they walked up towards the royal family of Corona.

"Rapunzel!!"

Both Rebecca and Gideon cried out in happiness as they released Valka's hands and raced into Rapunzel's arms, causing Corona's princess to laugh and hug the two Haddock children. Valka approached King Frederic and Queen Arianna and bowed her head in greetings. "Thank you for coming," she then shook her head, "unfortunately, Hiccup isn't here to greet you. Earlier today he was kidnapped by Vikings who are part of the army amassing in Wales."

"I'm so sorry to hear that," Arianna said while taking Valka's hands, "but we will help you and Arendelle destroy the heathens and rescue Hiccup." Frederic grunted in agreement and gestrued around the chaotic Arendelle. "The people of your sons kingdom are terrified," Corona's king chuckled lightly before continuing, "as they should, Hiccup is a tacticle genius and he's helped us, Frankia, and all Christian kingdoms from being devoured by the Vikings hordes that seem to never end. But now? With the last great Viking army threatening to destroy us and or faith, we need Hiccup to help us fight the war that's coming our way."
