Yep, Fridays at work always suck.
It’d been awhile since he last saw his parents and Blizzard playfully batted his father on the nose as they sat there just within the circle of the fire‘s light. Sure he disappeared for long stretches of time but Berk was too friendly- hands always trying to gain his approval when he had no desire to be touched by them. His patience level was not the best. Sometimes he was fend up and he had to leave but most of the time he just enjoyed traveling enough that it was the only excuse he needed… and he’d taken it upon himself to search for Ava since no one else dared to stray out as far as he did. He didn’t know if that was his true reason for leaving the island for such long journeys or if it was the joy of finding new places. But it didn’t matter, right?
He was watching the girl now as she sat near the fire and her parents sat close to one another. Hiccup touched Castiel arm to signify that he was getting up and then got to his feet. He took one of the furs off the armchair and carried it over to drape it across Ava’s shoulders before crouching down besides her. “Every villager in Berk has a dragon. Not all of them ride theirs, the elder for example… has a flock of terrors as her pets.” He smiled at her “and I’m pretty sure that Blizzard has waited all this time to be your dragon.”
Blizzard stuck his nose up at this and turned his head away causing Hiccup to laugh and glance over at Castiel with an amused smile because the truth was obvious when they had waited for years for Blizzard to accept a rider- only for him to refuse every one. The only person he ever let ride him was Ava. “But yes. These dragons have been living with us for over a decade. Occasionally one does throw a tantrum but it’s no different than living with your average Vikings. Things get wrecked sometimes.”

And now I'm home.
Hiccup nodded and looked down to where the nightfury was perched- watching patiently for the conversation to finish. "We should get you inside. You aren't dressed for our winters." He stepped down onto the black dragon and held out a hand to help her onto Toothless' back as well. Already a number of the villagers had gotten sick and he didn't want his daughter to be one of them, just because she had climbed one of these trees where the air was gusty and cold. "I can tell you more once we get you next to a fire and warmed up." He promised.
With things seeming closer to resolved Blizzard transformed back to his other form and dropped down from the branches into a snowy bank. Immediately popping up to shake himself off and approach his mother, rubbing against Aurora before nudging his nose into Castiel with a small sound of greeting. If Astrid was thinking how she had never known Blizzard had a human form too she wasn't saying- in fact she ran off right then to find Stormfly.

While Hiccup would like nothing more than for her to come down from this tree so they could be together as a family again, he understood that she had questions. After all everything she thought was true had just been turned upside down. This time he got no closer- sitting on the branch and running his fingers through his hair with unspoken distress. Who wanted to recall their failures? He exhaled and started on the story: "There was a raid, no one had saw it coming. A sudden storm had caused a whiteout that day, snow and ice and freezing temperatures that had most of the dragons holed up and those that weren't couldn't safely fly since the winds were so strong." Faint clashes of steel and shouts were the things most defined in his memory. Enemies were appearing from the white- rushing the village that rushed out to fend them off though they did so almost blindly. "No one could see more than a few feet ahead of them. In all the confusion one of them must have gotten to you. We didn't know until later..." Toothless cooed apologetically from the lower branches. "They had disappeared as suddenly as they appeared."
"I had tried to follow." Blizzard called from the nearby tree. "I lost the ship in the storm though." He was a strong flier and could make it through nearly any weather conditions these days but the wind had tore him off their trail back then. He'd lost them just a few miles off the coast. He wasn't the only one to see what had happened but the vikings could not move as quickly. No one was really sure who the culprit was though until now. Maybe they should have expected it but even if these had known more than the island's name, getting anywhere near there would probably be considered an act war. And if Ava hadn't been there it would have just lead to a bunch of deaths without purpose.

I don't get off until 6 but given the ride... won't be home until closer to 7
I'm sorry, that tiny post is all I have time for right now. My break tomorrow is between 12 and 3 though. I should be online then.
“You were born here.” Hiccup didn’t mind if he had to start from the beginning, it hurt but she was here now and there was time again. He would not allow himself to be angry over where she had been all this time because right now he was just so happy to see her again. Their daughter. This was all that mattered. “On the island of Berk. Freezing and miserable as it may sometimes be…” he joked weakly as he reached across to a closer branch to her. “This IS your home and that woman crying with tears of relief down there, she is your mother and you…, you are our daughter.” He breathed, glad that her could finally say that again.
yeah, I have to work a full shift tomorrow so i'll stay up a bit longer tonight. Try and get in one more post for you and then post during my break tomorrow.
lol, that's fine.
