Hiccup didn’t immediately draw his sword upon approaching the docks though it would have been overkill anyhow with a nightfury at his side. The man spoke with a voice that boomed over the sound of ice breaking in the sea and waves smacking against the coast: “Leave your beast at the shore.” The authority that shone through his tone possessed a confidence that made no sense. Toothless had the intelligence to understand but in defiance intended to continue down the docks toward the intruder- Hiccup stopped him with a hand at his snout and they were both old enough to know this was the end of the discussion. Hiccup continued across the boards without his dragon, who did not pace as he would have in younger years but fixed the man with a gaze of such intensity it was amazing that he didn’t immediately burst into flames.
“Alright. You want to talk about this?” Hiccup stated sternly, gaze steely before the conversation could go any further his wave arrived one the scene. The man cast her a leering smile and a small nod in greeting that seemed anything but respectful. It wasn’t hard for Hiccup to see Drago in Einar- try as he might not to. He remembered only how that man had hurt Castiel at a younger age, stealing away her voice forever.
Things went downhill from there when his daughter arrived. He’d hope she’d be kept busy at the house but she was too much like him at that age. “If it isn’t my double crossing excuse of a daughter. Taking all the kindness I’ve shown you and throwing it back in my face.” He made a back handed tossing gesture of his hand, expressing his disgust. “I’ve warned you of the dangers, of the trickery and yet here you are under the spell of mere swine.”
Gas crackled in Blizzard throat and he snarled- exposing two rows of short vicious teeth as he hunched his body and spread his wings. The man laughed as though these were a child antics and approached the pair with dangerous eyes, reflecting a soul dark enough to wish harm upon many. To rip away all that was important to get what he desired most. In response Blizzard hunched up, still all fangs and claws but his tail curled around Ava and his body bent to shield her.
The man stopped as flames flicked across his path and the sword came back up to point towards his throat. “I will not tolerate a step more towards my daughter.”
“Yes you will.” Einar challenged and Hiccup held his composure and strong stance. “Should you refuse to hand over your daughter you will have skrill on yours hand. Many, skrill.”

“It’s MORE than just sensing your dragon’s intentions. When you are flying there will always be subtle shifts to hint at changes in flight.” Toothless dipped at the clouds- passing under the younger pair as Hiccup tipped back to keep an eye on them until they leveled out on the other side. “Alright, let me show you.” When Hiccup steered away this time the flight was at a much more reasonable rate. “Put your hands near his neck.” He called back to his daughter “when we turn…” Toothless angled his head and then body arching around in the sky, Blizzard did like wise. “See what I mean. Just like knowing when a deer is about to bolt or a panther is about to lunge. What you’re doing is trying to give Blizzard as much speed as you can which is good but you should focus on leaning with him instead. If you want to benefit his flight.”
He held up a hand to Blizzard with a soothing order of “stay”. Then off Toothless went, speeding across the sky in demonstration. Every angle of his body took was mirrored by his rider so they seemed less like two beings and instead a single well oiled machine. The nightfury circled back around to them and Hiccup locked the tailfin into place before rising up in a crouch on his dragon’s back. “If you do this you are less likely to fall.” With a smile he slipped off Toothless’ back and began to freefall. While Blizzard roared at the recklessness Toothless soon plunged after. A hundred feet down Hiccup snagged the saddle and they pulled up from the dive.
“If you don’t want a saddle Ava that’s fine. But while your learning at least allow me to make a strap for you to hold on if you need to. Our little stunt just spooked Blizzard.” Said dragon snorted and shook his head, grumbling to himself before perching a top one of the spires. Hiccup showed amusement but before he could say anymore a nadder swooped in on their session.
“Hiccup!” Astrid called before circling around him to minimize the volume of their conversation. “There is a man at our docks demanding to speak with you, accusing you of stealing his daughter.” She explained with distain.
Hiccup set his jaw, not wanting to believe the man would dare set foot on Berk after what he’d tried. The anger he felt was self implored- outrage for his daughter and whatever dragons were prisoner upon that island. He exhaled and patted Toothless as the dragon rumbled in response to his distress. “It’s okay” he murmured.

The aliens were tracking their heat signatures but here in the trees they could come across as two animals hiding from the unknown. Because there was no way for him to explain this without giving something away he dodged the correct answer. “There must just be a lot of them.” It felt like a pathetic response but he had nothing better. Whispering those words he felt like such a cheat.
The light faded in the distance and he exhaled a breath he didn’t realize he was holding, sitting up straighter again. Though feeling relieved his grip was tense on the steering wheel as he took it once more. “Maybe we can gain some ground if we keep going… Soon we might reach snow. Hopefully that will slow them down.”
He started the engine again and turned on the headlights to pull away from the trees. The rain had let up some so he was more confident that they wouldn’t crash than before. Back on the interstate they picked up speed and kept going. Several hours more slipped by. The rain had stopped and a light snow powdered the earth and asphalt. Once they had skid over a mile on dark ice so now he was driving much slower- wary.
It went on for awhile like this until he began to shiver. Even with the heat on the cold was like a phantom touching at his skin. He stopped the car on the road side and resisted the urge to rub at his arms and shudder openly. “I don’t think I can drive anymore right now. Are you feeling better?” He looked to the exit ramp ahead of them then back to her. “Can you drive awhile?”

lol, not as good as the actual movie ^^
I posted in both our rps because of boredom.
Warmth spread through Hiccup at the simple kiss. When his wife moved away with all the grace of a bird in flight he watched her step across the wing and slip down onto her own dragon. As beautiful as any goddess. He did not miss the way Blizzard had watched with a sideways glance. Not with distain but curiosity. When caught in the act he flicked his ear flaps and shook his head as though something distasteful had touched his senses. Hiccup up wasn’t fooled.
A hot puff of air warmed the cold sky as Blizzard snorted his displeasure at his showoff parents and their riders. He was a great flyer- if only he could get Ava to not tilt like she was going to fall off every time he took a sharp turn.
Practice, yeah that was what they needed… She just needed to be a better rider. He’d been flying all his life- he didn’t need any practice.
Hiccup was looking at him again. Studying him without contempt, a considerate human that won over dragons with ease. Blizzard didn’t like it when those eyes were on him though. That green gaze shifted and his own father’s muscles coiled- suddenly the nightfury was rocketing into the sky and hitting them with the offset of wind. Feeling a challenge in the gesture Blizzard roared his intentions and then took off after the black dragon.
With his rider on his back Toothless took every sharp angle with ease- racing around the island, seeking obstacles in which to show off their flying. Under wooden platforms and through the barn of sleeping dragons. Up and up until the clouds were within reach and Hiccup looked back to see if his daughter had followed. In the distance he spotted Blizzard’s shine against the gray skies as the young dragon burst from the skylight of the barn. Blizzard spiraled up, throwing out his wings when he spotted them before flinging them back to launch himself forward.
Hiccup smiled and then Toothless picked up the pace again, leading them over tall spires of stone- then through. Try as he might Blizzard could not make the sharp turns his father could and after ramming one of the natural towers he bellowed with frustration, flicking his head and zipping back to open sky. A moment later the older dragon and rider appeared to idle in the air in front of them. “It’s okay.” Blizzard did not find comfort in this and jerked away. Hiccup’s lips quirked with amusement “do you want to know the trick?”

As she spoke, she never said IF and he was pretty sure that said something about her character. Willpower alone was not enough to overcome a disease but this strength would see her to the end. “Of course I want you’re help.” It took people like them to make it through stuff like this. For now though- they shouldn’t think too far ahead when each day was proving to be a challenge. Focus on surviving and THEN consider tomorrow. “Get some more rest Cassie.”
The further they went the colder the weather became. Moisture began to fog the windows and then rain came down in a great thundering mass. Throwing itself against the windshield and regardless of how fast the wipers slapped it away it never seemed to falter. Visibility was cut down to only a smidgen and Rex considered pulling over when he noticed two lights in the distance- squinting his eyes over the dash.
These lights wavered in the rain, rapidly growing larger in size and smaller lights appeared in straight lines branching out from the first. Rex turned off their own headlights and steered them off the road. Tree roots bounced them as he pulled the car into shelter between some trees. Suddenly the storm seemed quieter- muffled against the high canopy. He turned off the engine and listened.
There was a faint purr from the highway, nearly lost to the sound of rain. Rex leaned towards the window as light danced across the slick pavement- reflecting off a thousand drops of water. Suddenly the vessel was nearly upon them. Its center was oval like an egg and thin ’wings’ stretched out from its sides lined with tiny lights (it had no wheels). The moment it drew close enough to see Rex had ducked though, hidden from the view of searching lights.

“No. That doesn’t make any sense.” If anything she should become less attentive, shaky, pale- He couldn’t look at her for more than a few seconds though since he was trying to keep an eye on the road. No matter where they went in the city the streets were all dark. The only light was that of the car’s headlights and the moon. While anyone he hit on this lonely stretch would likely be a zombie he still wasn’t partial to the idea of plowing them over. “Now… what if there was a cure to this all? No more running needed.”
He was going to have to touch on his true intentions eventually. “I started studying up in the medical field when this infection broke out. It only seemed smart with no more doctors left and a thousand possible injuries awaiting to befall anyone. And now I’m thinking that it might be reversible.” He paused, wondering if he came off as crazy. “Is that stupid of me?”

He rolled the windows all the way up and adjusted the mirrors while he caught his breath. The run had left him on the side of lightheaded so it took him a moment to pull away from the curb once he got the engine running. As a whole the streets were pretty quiet… he thought he’d probably ran far enough that no one would have heard the car start. He exhaled as his breathing finally returned to normal and glanced at the girl from the corner of his eye. He wasn’t sure they would ever stop following- it was sort of a vain hope from the start. Regardless of their dislike of the cold, he was ready to brave it, they would might do the same. “I’m not so sure.” He admitted.
It would be nice if the radio offered something other than static- he turned the volume all the way down and cranked up the interior heat. “How are you feeling?” She hadn’t yet turned and he wondered if maybe she wouldn’t. Wondered about the resistant cells she seemed to possess… thought that maybe now wasn’t the best time to address all that though.

I could try scrounging up a post for you but I don't think my mind is awake enough for anything extraordinary.
