Talulahh's POV:




"Watch out!" Hiccup called out. Fishlegs dodged the flying net.

"Arrows incoming!" Astrid warned, setting the ship's sails on fire.

"Let's clear the deck." I said as Sapphire encased a few of the Hunters in amber.

"Woah!"  Heather avoided a flying boulder. "Good idea."

Toothless landed on the ship, scaring the Hunters into silence. Some even jumped into the freezing water below. "Huh, that's strange." Hiccup muttered.

"What is it?" Dahlia asked, looking up at him.

"This looks like one of the ships Viggo usually travels in. Why would he send it with the Hunters?" My brother noted.

"Maybe he did it on accident." Snotlout offered.

"But Viggo is calculated. He doesn't do things on accident." I replied.

"Maybe the Hunters got confused and took his ship instead." Heather shrugged.

"That seems like the most likely conclusion." Hiccup nodded, still looking puzzled.

"Let's go free those dragons." Astrid brought us back to the task on hand.

We walked down the ladder one at a time.  All of the cells were filled with various species of dragons. We opened the doors and set them free.

"Looks like our job here is done." Snotlout said triumphantly.

"Let's get out of here." Ruff said, walking up the ladder.

"Hiccup, you coming?" Heather asked as the others went before her.

"Ya'll go ahead." He waved her off.

"Okay." She shrugged following the other Riders.

That left Hiccup, Dahlia, Toothless, and I. "What are you looking at?" The redhead asked.

"The door to the captain's courtiers is cracked open. I'm gonna see if anything's in there." Hiccup replied, moving forward.

"I think you're being paranoid." I said, though I followed him anyway.

"Says you." Hiccup shot back. I rolled my eyes.

Hiccup pushed the door open, looking around cautiously. "This is definitely one of Viggo's ships." Dahlia nodded, walking in.

"Careful." Hiccup grabbed her arm, pulling her back. "There could be boobytraps."

"Whoops." The girl smiled sheepishly.

"Huh." My eyes locked on a set of drawers.  Avoiding anything that could be a trap, I walked to the drawers. I opened one, ducking when an axe came flying towards me.

"See?" Hiccup turned to his girlfriend with an 'I told you so' look on his face.

In the drawer was a bunch of papers and notes. "Hmm." I picked one up.

Dear Dad,
Are you proud of me? I hope you are. I've been working really hard on my Maces and Talons recently, since you said it helps with making good descision. I've also been training with Ryker, he's a little tough on me, though. Since you're always so busy, I decided to write you a letter instead. I don't want to bother you. I know your work is important. Maybe one day I can help you. That would be awesome.
                                           Love, Elodie
