While Hicca tries to keep herself from embarrassing herself.

Hicca's point of view

"Come on Toothless" I shout behind my leather mask barely containing my excitement. Toothless not one to disappoint went faster doing a nice spin. I smile behind my mask as I see the castle come in to view. "Almost there Toothless." Toothless roars more than ready for a break. "I know bud, I know." After a few more minutes of flying we finally reach the outskirts of the castle.

Switching gears to land, Toothless wasted no time landing. I jumped off of his saddle and after a quick stretch began to walk to the entrance of the castle. The guards nodded their heads at us not at all bothered by the sight of us and opened the gates. Behind my mask I thanked them and we quickly made it inside. 'Hmm it pretty hot out' I thought already feeling the sweat starting to form on my forehead.

Dismissing the heat we walked inside finding the stable next to Angus who was not present. I quickly began to take off all of Toothless equipment leaving on his prosthetic tail. As I placed the equipment in its designated area I scratched Toothless neck. "Thanks bud you did great." Toothless purred and it wasn't long until I found his spot that he was laying on the floor a purring mess. I laughed as Toothless began to roll on the ground. Soon Maudie came out carrying a basket of fish another servant I haven't meet before carrying a bucket of water.

"Hello Maudie." She nodded smiling at me before she handed me the basket, the other servant leaving the bucket of water at my feet before scurrying away. I didn't question the other servants action some Scotts were still uneasy around dragons. I smiled 'wonder how they are gonna act during the games when the other Viking and dragons are here.' I thought grabbing the basket and just as I had it in my hands Toothless swipes it away from me grabbing the side handles with his teeth. I laugh "A little hungry there bud." He only gives a playful growl before turning back to the fish. I laugh, turning back to Maudie. "Sorry about that Maudie you know Toothless."

Maudie only giggles and in her somewhat high pitch voice says, "The king and queen will see you."

"Oh right" I say rushing towards Toothless saddle grabbing a rolled up parchment sealed with a wax crest of the Hairy Hooligans symbol, the same one that was on the right shoulder piece of armor. "Wouldn't want to forget the whole reason I came here."

Maudie smiles and begins to walk into the castle. I've been in the throne room enough times to know my way there, but having an escort makes me feel like I'm less likely to make a fool of myself. As we reach the doors to the throne room and I can hear my name being announced on the other side of the door. I began to get a little nervous. I mean the finalization of the peace treaty between Viking and Scotts was finally going to happen. I could feel myself sweating and was wondering when it got so hot in Scotland. "Hmm Hicca" says Maudie; I turn to look at her and notice her pointing at my head.

I quickly reach for my head and noticed that my helmet was still on. "Oh thank you" I say rushing to take my helmet off, wiping the sweat off my forehead and tried to fix my hair before the door opened, but the doors opened quicker than I thought so I wasn't able to fix my hair so one part of my hair was breaded while the other was down the small braid that was next to my head frizzled. I gave an awkward smile, as the door opened.

There was king Fergus looking as imposing as ever and beside him was the elegant Queen Eleanor that made me feel even more graceless and disheveled than I already was. I placed my helmet under my arm and walked into the room with as much dignity as I could. I stopped a few feet before the stairs leading to the thrones and bowed.

"Welcome Hicca" says Queen Eleanor "I hope the trip wasn't to long especially with this heat wave we have been having."

"It was nothing Toothless and I couldn't handle your majesty, beside the air up there is much cooler. To be honest I didn't really feel the heat until we reached the castle."

"I suppose Berk does not get this hot," shouted King Fergus.

"Never your highness." I say smiling always feeling better when talking to King Fergus because he's like a nicer version of my dad.

"Come dear there is no need for the formalities you are after all a soon to be ally's. You can use our names." Queen Eleanor spoke, with just poise and the smile on her face, this made me feel even more embarrassed about my appearance.

I smiled to them "That is very nice of you Queen Eleanor, but I'm afraid I'm not yet comfortable with such formalities." I say standing as straight as I can the document in my hand seems to be gaining weight by the minute.

King Fergus laughs, "So I suppose you call Merduis Prince than." I could feel myself turn red.

"Fergus" scolded Queen Eleanor giving her husband a sharp look.

"What its true" says the King smiling like he knows some big secret. I really wanted the earth to swallow me whole right now.

"Please excuse my husband," says Queen Eleanor.

"It's not problem your highness" I say trying to keep for stuttering in embarrassment.

"I suppose that is your father's reply to our finalization to the treaty" says the Queen sparing a glance to my hand. I quickly look down wondering what she was talking about.

"Oh right yes" I say clearing my throat. I take a step forward and pass it to the Queen who with a delicate hand took the scroll with an air of sophistication "My father says that he and the clan will be here in about a week to participate in the games." I say taking a step back.

Queen Eleanor nodded her head. "I will be leaving around sunset." I say tucking some hair behind my head.

Both the royals looked at each other and than at me as if I had just turned into a dragon. "You are more than welcome to stay here my dear," the Queen says.

"Oh no I couldn't impose" I say trying hard to not retuck my unkempt hair.

"Impose," the King scoffs "the clans will be here in a week time trust me lass you won't be imposing." The King shouted. "Besides you're a tiny thing your dragon will take more room than ye."

I don't know whether he was complementing me or not. The women in Scotland came in all different sizes so it was hard to tell what exactly was customary. The Queen had a thin build with a tiny waist and an air of elegance, but on my travels here I have meet some of the prince's suitors and some of them were bigger, curved, or top heavy than the others. While there was only really one size for women in Berk, big and strong like the man, but some how still feminine. Compared to them I was scrawny even Ruffnut was a bit bigger than me now that we have grown up.

"Fergus" shouted the Queen, before turning back to me "Nonsense you will stay here and wait for your clan here. There is no point in going home only to return in a week time."

"But you highness-"

The Queen stand "It is very rude to reject the offer of your new alliance." I flinched remembering just how intimidating the Queen can really be "Besides maybe with you here my children can finally behave."

"Behave your highness," I say confused by the statement treading lightly.

"Well of course the triples practically love you for your inventions and dragon rides, and my son" Queen Eleanor smiles "well my son is always a little more…" she sighs "he's always a little more happier when you're here." This time I knew my face was red.

"I see" I say looking at the ground "Well than I guess it can't be helped."

Queen Eleanor smiles and King Fergus seems to be laughing to himself. "Well we should go over this scroll…Hicca if you don't mind."

"Not at all your highness, but if I may would it be possible to practice my throwing knifes in your practice field" I say asking bowing my head not sure if it was right to make such a request.

"I don't see why not," says Queen Eleanor, flicking her wrist. I bowed one last time before I turned and left the room. I walk as straight as I can, trying to appear as anything other than the usual clumsy me. When I heard the doors close behind me I closed my eyes, leaning against the wall to take a breaths of relief. 'I didn't screw that up.' I thought smiling to myself as I walked back to the stables before hitting the practice field.

As I walked back to the stables I could tell that Toothless was there dumping his head in the bucket of water. "Sorry bud I didn't think it would be that hot here." I went over to the gear and left my helmet, by Toothless saddle. Toothless lifted his head and started to shake his head.

"Hey" I shout "Do you have any idea how hard it is to deal with wet leather." Toothless only laughing dumped his head again, "Well I got some good news." I say only to have Toothless splash me. "Ahh Toothless" I shouted, the top of my armor and my hair wet. Toothless stood there the edge of the bucket in his mouth a smile on his face.

We glare at each other until Toothless dropped the bucket and ran. "Hey get back here you overgrown lizard." Just as I was about to run after him, I turned to see a giant Clydesdale sitting in his stable. 'Merduis is back' I thought feeling something flutter in my stomach. 'Why didn't I request a bath instead of the practice field?' I thought, running after my dragon who just so happened to be running in the same direction as the practice field. "Damn it Toothless" I muttered.

I ran after Toothless already feeling my leather tighten. I ran into the practice field to see that Toothless was hiding in the shade on the outskirt of the field by some tress on his back. "Gotcha" I say jumping on his stomach. "Oh no the war between dragons and Vikings has restarted" I mutter as Toothless and I start to wrestle. Toothless has me pinned and before I knew it he was licking me. "Ahh Toothless get off, that's gross, uh." Eventually Toothless got up allowing me to sit up. I turned to look at him "You suck you overgrown lizard." Toothless cooed, nudging my head. "Yeah yeah I love you to." Eventually Toothless laid back down and I started to lean against him enjoying the shade although I knew for a fact that the sky was even cooler.

I scooted closer to Toothless because even though dragons were like warm heaters and amazing to cuddle with during winter, it was silently uncomfortable in the heat, but Toothless was so nice to lean on a great pillow. One that I wouldn't give up on in any whether condition. Just as I was about to close my eyes I heard the sound of metal clashing. This caught both of our attentions. We both turned to look at the source of the noise.

There in the middle of the practice field was prince Merduis and two other men probably soliders, sparing. As much as I hated to admit it, I couldn't help, but watch prince Merduis spar. He was wearing a kilt just like all his other kinsmen with the same tartan pattern. However unlike the solider that Merduis was fighting he didn't have the shoulder strap like the other man his kilt was only tied around his waist. I tried so hard to not pay attention to his husky figure. 'Why isn't he wearing a shirt' I thought feeling my face get slightly warmer 'that's not fair to the female population' and as I heard the sound of giggling girls I knew I was right.

Prince Merduis didn't only have the clan suitors to worry about, but it seems that his prince charm also works on maidens, servants, and any one in the female population that isn't related him.

I watched as one of the soldiers lunged at Merduis. Merduis was quick to block the attack shoving the soldier away as the other man started his attack. It was two on one fight, but Merduis was able to hold his own against the two. Merduis switched for being on the offensive to defensive flawlessly, and it was moments like this that I saw the elegance of Queen Eleanor.

I began to undo my braid trying my best to calm my hair down as I continued to watch the match. I watched as the soldiers came at Merduis at the same time, I stopped fiddling with my hair and before I knew it I heard someone shout, "Look out." When Merduis caught my eye I instantly grew red because I realized that it was me that shouted, but Merduis only smirked and in one fluid move throw his sword at one of the soldiers knocking him off balance. Merduis came in close and elbowed the solider in the rib wrenching the sword out of his hand punched the soldier and as the other came form behind Merduis brought his sword to his. The two men started to sword fight, but it was clear that the soldier was getting tired and finally with one swing Merduis disarmed the shoulder his sword on the soldier's neck.

The soldier submitted and Merduis lowered his sword with a smile. Soon Merduis and the soldiers were picking up their weapons talking with each other, the two soldiers although older seem to be praising Merduis. Merduis seemed to be nodding his head in thanks, placing one hand on the each of the soldier's shoulder. They seem to talk for a few more minutes, the giggling of the girls becoming louder. I watched as Merduis stopped talking to the soldiers and lifted his head to smile at the girl waving his hand at them. I quickly looked down finding it painful to see Merduis pay those girls attention for whatever reason.

I began to fix my hair again, but after a moment gave up on it only being able to get through one of the braids. I sighed to myself thinking that since it was so quit Merduis must have gone to his adoring fans. I closed my eyes and leaned against Toothless again.

Before I knew it something was nudging my leather boot. "Knock it off Toothless." I say nudging the thing back, but it wasn't scaly.

"Comparing me to a dragon, should I be offended?" came a masculine voice. My eyes opened because I would remember that accent anywhere. Standing in front of me still missing a shirt was Merduis.

"Uh Merduis…uh its was-I mean I thought your were-that is um." I was ranting trying not to stare too much at his chest as I stood up, but as I stood up I felt something pull at my prosthetic leg.

Before I knew it I was falling 'dang it Toothless' I thought, waiting to hit the ground, but instead found myself in something warm and fleshy. As my brain tried to realize what happened I slowly looked up from the scarred sculpted chest of the gorgeous red head. I gulped trying not to become as red ashis crazy hair. I tried to open my mouth in hope that something logical would come out, but no such luck.

Merduis only grins a me "So how's the dragon training going Hic?" He goes to move some hair out of my face, but I squirm out of his grasp tucking the hair myself, remembering just how bad my hair looked, that I was covered in sweat, and Toothless slobber. I tried not to look to embarrassed or disgusting.

"It's pretty boy…I mean- what I meant was" shaking my head "its going pretty good." I say giving him a small smile, my face probably stained red.

Merduis only smiled at me "So we're you worried about me?"

"What" I asked, not really paying attention to what he was saying. I was to busy tracing all of his scars on his chest with my eyes.

"I asked" he says taking a step closer "if your were worried about me what with your look out, but I see your more concerned with my scars." I look away not really sure what to say, I could feel warm calloused fingertips directing my chin back to face him. "If that's really what you'd like to do I have more scars under my kilt if you'd like to see."

My face goes completely red, I could feel Toothless shift behind me but didn't dare move, to captivated with ocean blue. eyes Merduis gives a quiet chuckle before giving my forehead a quick kiss I feel him say, "It's good to have you back Hic" to my hair. Leaning back to see his face he smiles before walking away.

I'm to stunned to move feeling slightly uncomfortably warm. I watch as he turns around and shouts "my offer still stands." I look at him puzzled for a moment until he raises his kilt a bit to relieve a scar, I quickly go red again and bury my face in my hands. I can hear him chuckling, but am to embarrassed to look up. When I do finally look up I see Toothless peering down at me with a sly little look. "And just what are you looking at you overgrown lizard." Toothless only smiles a gummy smile, before nudging me.

I sigh scratching him knowing that Toothless only wanted to help and didn't mean to embarrass me, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did it to get a laugh at my expense. "This is going to be a long week," I muttered sighing as we walked back to the castle.
