The Scale Walker Of Berk ( A Httyd fanfic )

Chapter 58

( A/n: Part 1 of Twinsanity )

Onyx and Meryl were helping Stoick and Gobber with getting ready for the annual treaty signing with the Berserker Tribe while the other riders were training. Stoick was talking to the two Scalewalkers as Gobber was getting the ceremonial belt on Stoick.

Stoick: ( to Meryl and Onyx: ) Remember it's important that you don't let it slip that there are Scalewalkers on Berk in front of the Berserkers, they might not be as accepting of making peace between Scalewalkers and dragons.

Onyx: Yes, sir.

Meryl: We won't even let out a growl.

Hiccup then walked in the house, and saw what was happening.

Gobber: Argh, suck in your gut, Stoick.

Stoick: It's sucked, Gobber! It doesn't suck anymore than this!

Hiccup: Ah, the ceremonial belt. Is it that time again? 

Stoick: Yep, tomorrow's the annual treaty signing with the Berserker Tribe.

Gobber: They've gotta change that name. When your Chief's Oswald the Agreeable, and you haven't been to war in fifty years.

Hiccup: Oh, please tell me he's not bringing that lunatic kid of his.

Onyx: Who?

Meryl shrugged her shoulders in response.

Gobber: Dagur? Oh, he'll be here.

Hiccup: Oh, great, and let me guess: I get to keep him from breaking things.

Stoick: Actually, no. I have a more important job for you. You get to hide all the dragons in the hidden underground hot springs, where they can't find them.

Hiccup: From Oswald the Agreeable? Why?

Stoick: Hiccup, just because we've had peace with them for fifty years, doesn't mean they still can't go, well-

Gobber: Berserk?

Stoick: Exactly. The dragons and them knowing what Meryl, Tida, and Onyx are, could be seen as a sign of aggression. Better blissful than bloody I always say.

Gobber: And the last thing we want is another Berserker skirmish. They tend to play for keeps.

Stoick: Just hide the dragons, son. And if Oswald or Dagur ask, Onyx and Meryl are Gobber's niece and son. And Onyx is a normal healer, not a dragon healer. ( To Meryl: ) Meryl, make sure that Mr and Mrs. Thorston keeps Tida hidden, her hair could be a giveaway.

Meryl: You got it, Chief.

( The next morning )

Meryl and Onyx were talking with Mr and Mrs. Thorston, giving them ideas on how to keep Tida distracted until the treaty is signed and the Berserkers are gone. They were helping out while the rest of the riders were hiding the dragons. Tida was standing beside her adoptive father, holding his hand with a smile.

Mrs. Thorston: We can't thank you both enough for helping us with Tida, especially at night.

Meryl: It's no problem ma'am.
