Chapter 10
"You seriously want to ride that dragon?", Valiant asked staring at Saga.
"Yes", she said while climbing on it. "Come on." Saga held her hand out for Valiant.
"You are so insane", he said, grabbing her hand.
"I know", she answered while pulling Valiant up.
"You don't even know how to fly a dragon, do you?"
"Uncle Gobber always said that the best way to learn is learning by doing", she said and tried to give the dragon a sign to fly up. After a few tries it actually worked and they were flying.
"You look for Brenna, fire, explosions or anything that looks like trouble and I fly the dragon", Saga said.
"Ok. It's really obvious, that Brenna is related to the twins."
After a while Valiant pointed down and said: "Found her. And she seems to be in big trouble soon."
Saga landed the dragon. Well, she tried to.
After she kind of made it, Saga, Valiant and the dragon walked towards Brenna who was watching a dark, metallic-looking dragon.
Brenna noticed that the others were coming closer and said: "Look what I found!"
But instead of an answer from Saga or Valiant, the dragon sniffed on her. She turned around and her heart almost stopped.
"Look what we found", Saga laughed and the dragon licked over Brenna's face, then he went to the other dragons.
Brenna stood there in shook snd Saga waved her hand in front of her friend's face.
"How did you...?", Brenna stuttert. "... A dragon... just... licked my face. A FREAKING DRAGON JUST LICKED MY FACE!"
"Calm down, Brenna. We don't know what else is on this island", Valiant said.
After Brenna screamed the two dragons came over. The nightlight way more friendly than the other one.
"Hold your hand out to the dragon", Saga said to her friend.
"What?", Brenna asked.
"Just do it, it will work", she said and Brenna did it. Soon the dark dragon touched her hand with the nose.
"Please tell me this is a good sign", Brenna said while looking at Saga, who nodded at her.
"Now we have two dragons. Just one missing", Saga said and looked at Valiant.
"Not really", he smirked and whistled loud. A white nightlight with black markings flew at them.
"Hello, old friend", Valiant said and crawled the dragon.
"You are kidding, right? You had a dragon this whole time and you said nothing?", Saga asked.
"Exactly", he answered, climbed onto his dragon and said: "Now let's get back our weapons and leave this island."
"Wait a second", Brenna said while looking on her friends who already sat on thier dragons. "You expect me to ride this dragon now? I never did that before!"
"The best way to learn is learning by doing", Saga said.
"If I die, I'll haunt you in your dreams", Brenna said and climbed on the dragon.
The three flew back to where Saga and Valiant left thier weapons. The two picked the weapons up and then they flew to the ship. They entered the ship together with the dragons.
"Now we have two options", Valiant said. "Rescue your friends or find the hidden world."
"What could happen if we don't save our friends fast?", Saga asked.
"Well, Gunnar is pretty ruthless, so they could be dead by then", Valiant answered.
"Then I say let's safe our friends first", Saga said and Brenna agreed.
It already got late and Brenna went to sleep. Saga and Valiant sat on the deck together.
"Do you think I am irresponsible, because I put my friends in danger to save my father?", Saga asked Valiant, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"No, you had to do it. Sorry to say thst but your brother seems like a monster."
"I should have went alone. I should have sent the others back."
"Stop it, Saga. You did nothing wrong."
"I did, I put my friends in danger. What if they die because of me?", Saga asked. She lift her head up and Valiant looked at her. He saw the tears in her eyes and cupped her cheek with his hand.
"Nothing will happend to them. We will save them, I promise that to you", Valiant said to Saga and swiped her tears away. Saga layed her head on his shoulder again.
"I hope you are right...", she said.
"I am still afraid Gunnar will get you", Valiant suddenly changed the subject.
"Why?", Saga asked confused.
"What if you are forced to marry him because your brother wants you to? What if he just kills you? I don't want this to happen."
"It won't happen. I think I still have a word in that. My brother might be the chief of Berk but he's not ruling my life", Saga said. "How old is that Gunnar guy anyways?"
"I think he's 34."
"Eww", Saga said disgusted and angry. "I can't believe my brother wants me to marry such an old person."
"Why is your brother like that anyways?"
"I don't know. When we were kids we got along great, but when father got sick one of us had to become chief. I am the firstborn but I didn't feel ready to be chieftess, so I refused and Eric became chief. And that was the day he changed. It was like being chief was all he ever waited for and now he's afraid that I'll steal his throne from him. I would have never done thst but now... I mean he wants to marry me off to some old guy, he wants our father to die, he changed so much I don't even know who he is anymore. He's just 16, still a kid but still capable of doing things like that... I wish everything would be like when we were kids."
"I am sorry, that your brother became like that. If you ever need help or a place to go, I'll be there for you", Valiant said, lying his arm around Saga.
"Thank you", she said and the two looked into the stars.
