But I Take The Blame
Dagur's POV:
Dumbfounded that's all I could say I was absolutely dumbfounded. One minute I had the love of my life in my arms at a banquet in preparation for our nuptials and the next minute she was...Gone. Taken by someone I was foolish enough to trust.
I had been deep into several mugs of ale when toasts were occurring music, tales, and laughter in the hall. Then Alvin announced a gift for us as a part of our marriage and wanted Hiccupa to come up and open the chest. I thought little of it after all I was Chief on my island, my guards positioned about I encouraged Hiccupa to go ahead even though I knew she did not want to.
What a fool I truly was I should have listened to Hiccupa from the start when she had her distrust of the Outcasts from the beginning but no foolish pride got in my way.
She went near Alvin opened the chest it all happened so fast. The next thing I knew a sword was pressed to her throat and then Heather was being threatened as well and I was forced to choose between the two of them. I immediately sobered up at this point. What choice did I have blood is thicker than water. I had promised our mother to watch over Heather even though I did not do the best job of it but now I was following through with that promise.
Then I had to stand by helpless as they took away my Hiccupa my hopes and dreams shattering before my eyes. She looked absolutely terrified as she was hauled onto the ship remembering what she had mentioned about being on Outcast island. I immediately felt guilty this is all my fault. I then vowed I would get her back no matter.
"Dagur how could you what were you thinking?" Heather was looking at me upset.
"What choice did I have I couldn't very well let them take my little sister could I? I said in my defense.
"Dagur I could handle myself. It's Hiccupa I'm worried about don't you remember what I have been telling you about how she has changed? she's not the same Hiccupa anymore" Heather said looking angry and concerned at the same time.
"Oh, uh I hadn't thought of that but Alvin won't hurt her he's set on her teaching them dragon training so it can't be that bad, right?" I said hopefully trying to mask my fear.
"Dagur do you have any idea what Hiccupa has gone through on Outcast island before?" she asked me.
"Well I have an idea" I said not liking the direction where this conversation was heading.
"Dagur they were going to execute her! not to mention all the threats of sexual assault she has endured while a prisoner there" Heather said looking panicked. "worst of all she is alone she won't have Toothless no hope for escape or emotional support."
"Oh Dear Thor..." I said when I realized the dangerous situation I had put Hiccupa in she could face death or a punishment worse then death. "this...this is truly all my fault Heather please I need your help. Help me rescue her from the Outcasts. From Alvin. I'll do whatever it takes." I said grasping her hands and pleading with her.
I vowed I would bring her back safe even if I had to beg on my hands and knees for the dragon riders of Berk to help me. Which as it would turn on would not be a far stretch from what would ultimately happen.
Heather then told me she had planned on betraying me by helping Ash and the rest of the Berkian's take Hiccupa back with them to Berk. Without my knowing about it. I honestly didn't know how to react could I claim betrayal or serendipity that they were coming at my our hour of need I would need to do some soul searching when this all over I thought to myself. I agreed to go with Heather under cover to meet with the Berkian's.
After meeting with the riders of Berk and having Ash's ax thrusted at my throat one time too many for me to count we had plans in place and set off to rescue Hiccupa. Obviously a bit awkward having my romantic rival around and the one I ultimately kidnapped his fiancée from. No pressure there on us getting along. Not to mention the feelings of protectiveness I felt when I saw the larger Viking Fishlegs embracing my sister but after receiving dirty looks from Heather I had to back off.
I was on Shattermaster my crossbow and battle axe strapped to my back at the ready. To my left was Heather on Windshear with Fishlegs by her side on Meatlug and to my right the Dragon riders of Berk in formation heading for Outcast island. Beneath my armada armed to the teeth and ready to deal with a broken accord. I can't help but think of the old adage if you love someone let them go. Maybe it would be for the best to see Hiccupa happy with Ash as opposed to the alternative at the moment which caused me to shudder. Just the same the remainder of the potion was on my person if needed. Can't give up yet now can I? Who knows maybe I could honestly win her heart as a result of this rescue mission I thought.
"Don't worry Hiccupa Dagi's coming just hang in their and don't give up hope." I said out loud knowing no one could hear me over the wind.
The sun starting to rise in the distance as we continued our flight on towards Outcast island.
