"Well bud I guess we're done here for today"

Hiccup walked up to Toothless, they have gone back to the cove after setting the Berzerker's ships on fire. Toothless wanted more action but Hiccup signaled him to go back out. His helmet nearly fell off when someone had hit him in the head. Luckily the helmet saved his head, not like before, he bled and nearly fell unconscious.

He didn't mean to retreat this early, he still wanted to help. Like the viking they both saved from the cliff. Toothless and Hiccup weren't that aware who they saved but they knew it was definitely a woman. She was surrounded by Dagur and his scum of vikings. He knew if they try to grab her Dagur might get a chance to recognize him and if they swoop her away then Dagur will command to fire at them. Blowing them off was much easier anyway.

Toothless made some kind of a murmur.

"What? You think we should go back?"

Toothless nodded reminding him his duty, but Toothless pointed out that only Hiccup would go back.

"Oh, I know what you're dealing here bud. Well no I will not face my head to them"

Toothless made this annoyed facial expression "What?!" Hiccup asked, his shoulders nudging up. The dragon used its nose to point out to his rider's helmet. He nudged him to Hiccup would understand his idea.

"Are you seriously trying to get me killed?"

I know that look on his face he wants to make a fool out of me.

Although Hiccup knew what Toothless meant exactly, they're going to free the rest of the dragons from Berk's arena before tending to the rest of the dragons in the forest. Another is that they needed to convince Dagur to stop the killings and this building of armada he is working on.

"Ok ok bud I'm going....... but I'll be back soon"

His bestfriend growled back, he made himself a bed before going to take nap. Toothless would know if his rider is in trouble but he has good instincts that Hiccup would know what to do.

Hiccup started walking out of the cove and making his way to the town proper through Raven's Point. It's been so long since he last ran through this forest, reminiscing the days he tried to be close with a Night Fury. But those days made him feel upset with his old status. Sure he may have been the first viking to ride on a dragon and the Brotherhoood were at awe, how could this vikings even appreciate him having a dragon when they only go for the kill.

While Hiccups head was wondering all about the pros and cons coming to Berk, he barely noticed a blonde viking holding her axe facing her back at him.

Astrid, in the other hand, is looking for somwthing. She looked so determined while she searched. Being saved by a dragon bugged her, very much. She could have sworn the person riding that dragon and the Night Fury seemed so familiar. Was there another Night Fury other than Hiccup befriended?

This thought had gone over and over her head. The sight of the dragon flashed thoughts of Hiccup. After the dragon landed her in a safe place the voice was familiar too. As if he sounded like Hiccup.

Wait.....He did sound like Hiccup!

She was sure of it, but she didn't get a glimpse of the rider's look if it really was him. That's why she headed to the forest where the Night Fury headed. Raven Point, yes it was the only forest nearby. Once she sees the dragon and tried to capture it's rider, then her thoughts might be even correct. The rider may be Hiccup after all, finally she'll get to see him again. But....will she nor Hiccup be happy once they cross paths?
