We Are One(Hiccup x Oc)

Chapter 15-A View to a Skrill Part 1

Selene's POV

I was at the academy with Crystal waiting for Astrid, Hiccup and Snotlout. They were looking for Bucket and Mulch, the duo had set out a while ago and haven't returned. "What could be taking them so long?" Crystal asked me as I gave her a well deserved bath. "I hope they get back soon." I told her and after I finished my sentence, a familiar roar entered the area. "Looks like they're back." I told my sister as I finished her bath. I quickly put the bath supplies away just in time to see Toothless, Stormfly and Hookfang push a block of ice into the academy. "I thought you guys were just finding Mulch and Bucket, not a block of ice." I told them. Hiccup filled me in on how Bucket and Mulch were attacked by the Berserkers and how they were trying to dig out a dragon. I walked over to the ice as Toothless was sniffing around it. "Why would Berserkers want with a frozen dragon?" I asked the others and they just shrugged their shoulders. "I say we smash it." Snotlout told us. "I say we blast it." Tuff told us as he and his sister climbed onto the block of ice. "We're not doing any of those!" I scolded them. I saw Crystal sniffing the ice then hissed. "We need to thaw this a little more so I can be sure." Crystal told herself. I walked over and patted her head. "Be sure of what?" I asked her. "I think I know what dragon is frozen in this ice block." She told me. "Ok," I then faced Meatlug. "Can you give us a slow burn, girl?" I asked the Gronckle gently and she nodded her head. She walked over and gave the ice a gentle lava blast. Once the steam cleared, we were able to get a better sight of the dragon. "Thanks, girl." I thanked Meatlug and she smiled at me. "Is that what I think it is?" I heard Hiccup ask Fishlegs. I quickly pressed my face against the ice and saw the dragon was a Skrill. "This isn't good at all." I muttered to myself. "What is going on?" Astrid asked me. "I'll explain when we talk to Stoick." I told her as I grabbed Fishlegs and Hiccups' shirts to drag them with me. "Oh! Come on, Selene! I want to look at it more." Fishlegs whined. "We need to tell Stoick what we found, it's too urgent to wait for." I told them then turned back around to Snotlout and the twins.

"I swear to the Great Dragons, you touch that ice and I'll throw you into the Screaming Death's mouth!" I yelled at them and they looked genuinely terrified. I ran towards Hiccup's house to grab my sketchbook. Once I found it under my many notebooks, I rushed back outside to see Hiccup, Astrid and Fishlegs looking worried. "What is it, Selene?" Astrid asked me. "The dragon the Berserkers were trying to dig out is a Skrill." I told her and they all gasped. "Are you sure?" Fishlegs asked me with a hint of worry in his tone. "I'm sure." I then showed them a sketch of Shrill that I made. "Is this the Skrill that you grew up with?" Hiccup asked me and I nodded my head. "Yeah, we need to tell your father this before the Berserkers try to come and take it." I told them and we rushed to the Great Hall where there was a meeting taking place. "We figured out why Dagur's men attacked Bucket and Mulch." Hiccup told his father. "Go on, son." Stoick encouraged Hiccup to continue. "We got a better look at the dragon Bucket and Mulch found in the ice." Hiccup continued then Bucket got excited saying he wanted a dragon. "You're not gonna want this one, Bucket. It's a Skrill." And just like I thought, Bucket immediately dropped that idea. "Are you sure, Selene?" Stoick asked me and I showed his the drawing of Shrill. Then Fishlegs came barreling in with the Book of Dragons in his arms. "Yeah." He was out of breath and pulled up the drawing that Gobber's great, great, great uncle Bork drew. "The Skrill is the symbol of the Berserker tribe." Astrid told us. "Dagur most likely wants this dragon because it's one of the few that can match a Night and Light Fury due to them all being in the Strike Class." I told them. We then walked out of the Great Hall with Gobber and Stoick. "Legend has it the lightning comes right from the Skrill's mouth. Ad thunder from it's, well, you know." Gobber told us. "The first one is a little off hand. Skrill's have the ability to draw lightning from storm clouds and redirect it at multiple targets. The second one, nuh uh." I told him. "Remember that lightning storm we had when we put up those metal perches?" Everyone nodded their heads. "That was a little more tame then when a Skrill is having a very bad day." I told them and they all shuddered. "It could also store the lightning in it's body and use it later." Fishlegs told us, and that's when a lesson of Skrill's hit me. "Oh Great Dragons!" I yelled in panic. I was about to start running towards the academy, but Stoick grabbed the back of my shirt. "Why the rush, lass? That dragon is frozen solid." He tried to reassure me.
