Hiiiiiiiiiii! Good to see you all again.

I'm so happy you all loved the next chapter (despite its rubbishness) and I really appreciated the concern regarding 'THE ACCIDENT' thats what my family is calling it anyway.

Many of you guessed Snotlout and there was a few Stoick's in there as well. I think you have waited long enough to find out the answer. : )

And I got my cast off! YYYAAAAAAAAYYYYY

(Broken legs are awful... crutches look fun but hurt your hands... a lot)

I don't own much :D

Astrid pulled her eyes from the great hall when she heard Snotlout laugh nastily. And as soon as she saw why she rolled her eyes and went back to sharpening her dagger, she had been distracted by the viking fleets returning from trying to find the Dragon's Nest. Judging by their forlorn expressions and hunched movements they had been unsucessful... as always. Astrid couldn't help but feel angry at the lack of progress towards getting rid of the Thor-forsaken lizards, you see, despite being only 7 years old Astrid had a pretty good grasp on information that most adults had.

"Hey look! It's Hiccup the Useless!"

Astrid rolled her eyes again but turned away from her dagger to watch the spectacle, watch, but never join, never intervene.

"Leave me alone Snotlout, please" came the small nasully-ish voice of the tiny, tiny Viking.

"No! Why are you so small?"

"I'm not small! My dad said I'll grow big and strong one day and make him proud"

"Ha! You cant make anyone proud, you will never grow! And because you're small I have to pick on you!"

Hiccup tilted his head to the side and looked at his older cousin with big emerald eyes.

"Why?"

Snotlout's face took on a confused expression for a few seconds before returning to its natural smug pig-like form.

"Because I said so! And my dad said so to, he said that small vikings are of no use to the tribe and should all be fed to the dogs!"

Hiccup looked both scared and a little sad

"Your dad's lying!"

Snotlout's eyes hardened

"What did you just say about my dad?!"

Hiccup seemed to realise his mistake and rather than try and reason himself out of it he turned around and ran towards the forest, his small and lithe form making him practically fly over the ground. However Snotlout had muscles that would propel him faster than most kids would run, Tuffnut followed him, he had been sniggering at Hiccup's expense but now he wanted a peice of the action.

-v-

Hiccup leapt over a log as he ran from the bully vikings. He didn't understand why just because he was small he had to be picked on, did his dad lie when he said Hiccup would grow up to be big and strong, maybe his dad just said that to make him feel better... Hiccup hoped not, he liked to think his dad would always tell him the truth. Especially when his dad told him that he would be the cheif of the village one day.

"Come on Hiccup just give up! We're going to get you anyway!"

Hiccup considered just letting them catch him, the more he ran the longer they would beat him up for running. Suddenly something whizzed past him... a rock! Hiccup looked behind him, Tuffnut was throwing rocks at him! Unfortunately one hit him in the leg and he buckled and fell over, his head hit the ground hard, he groaned dizzily and rolled over to see two blurry figures, then there was suddenly a pain in his side and it took him a while to register that one of the shapes had just kicked him. However before anything else could be done there was suddenly a loud growl and the two shapes yelled about something and ran away. The next thing Hiccup saw was a pair of glowing green things and another of glowing blue orbs... what were they? He didn't have long to think about it before he fell into darkness.

Hiccup had woken up outside the back of his house with nothing more than a sore head, he glanced into the trees and thought he had saw a flash of acid green but it was gone before he could be sure what it was. He shook his head slightly and walked round the front and went into his home. Completely unaware of what the future had in store for him.

Astrid's eyes hardened as she took in the menacing forms of the two nightfury hybrids in front of her. The male had left a few minutes ago and she didn't have he axe with her, a fact that irritated her to no end, she was so used to having it with her that without it she felt pretty weak and helpless. The last time she had felt like this was when she was 2 years old and was facing down a pair of gronkles, however this had also been the moment when she had awakened the blood of all of her ancestors, her dragon killing instincts. She had been able to run and even cut one with her father's dagger, before she had been "saved" by her mother.

"What are you freaks going to do with me!?"

The hyrid with the white eyes just smiled.

"Nothing that would hurt... a lot. You're just not going to remember meeting us is all."

Astrid didn't even have time to say 'what?' before the red eyed one sudddenly whacked her in the back of the head and she fell to the ground and knew no more.

Hiccup's eyes widened

"I am soooooo dead"

The older boy crossed his arms and glared at the smaller one

"Yes... yes you are"

Hiccup winced

"Sorry Shade, it was Koda, all Koda's fault, she made me come to the island, then there was Fishlegs incident, then Astrid came and I had to leave."

Shade raised one black/brown eyebrow. Hiccup lowered his arms and sighed, he put his arms behind his back and scuffed his foot along the ground that he was now staring at.

"I'm sorry"

Shade nodded and stopped piercing Hiccup with his yellow eyes, he pupils even rounded just for good measure as well. He also dropped his arms from their crossed position and sighed, he wasn't very good at staying mad at the two people he considered to be his adopted younger siblings. Speaking of-

"Hiccup... where's Koda?"

Hiccup looked up with confused emerald eyes

"She's back at a cove that we found, we've been staying there for the time we have been stuck here."

"Stuck?" questioned Shade

"Yeah... Shade do you remember Mystery?"

Shade's eyes widened a little

"The albino... sure, but why bring her up?"

Hiccup grinned

"She's here, and alive."

Shade gave Hiccup a questioning glance

"But what does she have to do with you and Koda not being able to leave the island?"

Hiccup's grin dropped

"She's injured. Apparently she ripped her tailfin somehow... it isn't ripped off yet but she can't leave the island for a week now because she needs time to heal."

Shade gave a suffering sigh and rubbed his temples before grabbing Hiccup by the shoulders and shaking him rather roughly, but yet gently for Shade... and Hiccup knew that, he had been on the recieveing end of his stronger shakes before, and he hadn't been able to see straight for an hour.

"Hiccup! You don't have a week! The clan leader has found out that you're missing and on Berk, he said if you dont return by the end of the week then he wil be rallying the nightfuries for an attack on Berk!"

Hiccup gaped and his eyes widened in horror

"B-but why!? Why would he do that?!"

"He's worried" stated Shade

"He's worried because you are his grandson and he has no idea how you would react to Berk, he thought you were going to Berk because you wanted to make peace with the vikings... or find you're father... or even kill a bunch of vikings! Nobody had any clue, so the leader is just doing what he thinks is best, some tried to argue but were quickly turned by the others that agreed with him. Plus... it doesn't take too much for dragons to want to kill vikings."

Hiccup's legs suddenly gave up on him and he had to sit down. This was all just too much, war, war was always just a dream, something the dragons that served the Red Death did. But now it wasn't a dream, it was something that was very real, and very close if he didn't find a way to return home.

Hiccup looked up at Shade with scared eyes

"What are we going to do?"

Shade gave him a sad look

"I don't know, we could probably start with going to collect Koda and Mystery and updating them on the situation."

Hiccup nodded slowly

"Yeah. Lets go"

Hiccup pushed himself up and suddenly pulled Shade in for a quick hug before jumpung up and flying towards the cove.

Shade shocked himself out of his confused trance and followed after Hiccup as he pondered the future and the possible implications of their decisions.
