We had been flying for quite sometime, not that me or Runestorm cared. We had finally, thanks to the help of my siblings we made a map to the island where the Buffalord was supposed to be. Though, if I remember correctly from working as Gothi's apprentice for a few years I thought they had went extinct... We landed on the island and it seemed like a leafy, barren wasteland, until we were following Fishlegs, I watched him kneel down and touch some odd green thing... " Fresh dragon droppings! "

I almost fell over disgusted, I had decided to bring Corro with me just in case we had unexpected company, something just didn't sit right with me... I wasn't going to tell Hiccup because he seemed set and determined on curing Astrid, that's what kept me going as well. Corro ran ahead of us all, Runestorm following they must've had a scent or something! I ran after them as fast as I could, the others using their dragons to follow. There it was, a Buffalord, Hiccup went to collect the dragons saliva but something seemed off, it wasn't green like how the photo described.

Suddenly, as soon as the saliva touched the bowl it evaporated. " Hiccup, go get Astrid, me and the others will figure out how this works. " He nodded, hopping onto Toothless and taking off, the twins had began to eat some of the grass, green saliva pouring down their faces, honestly it was rather disgusting, until that gave me an idea... I picked up some blades of grass, and walked over to the Buffalord just as Hiccup & Astrid arrived, Stormfly carried Astrid, they all landed and I fed the Buffalord the grass, and the saliva was green, but just as I was about to collect it was caught in a net and pulled back onto a ship Dagur watched and laughed maniacally thinking about all the things he could do to this pathetic dragon. I quickly got up, seeing Viggo who was simply standing there, a small smile on his face as he saw my anger, but I knew something about the Buffalord that nobody else did.

" Viggo! Let's make a deal! " I called out flying to him on Runestorm, Corro was also on Runestorm, see, I, with the help of Hiccup created a little seat for Corro since he was a bit lighter then the average Speedstinger. We landed on the ship, I slid off of Runestorms back stepping towards Viggo, Hiccup right behind me, silently questioning me. " Let me collect some of the Dragon's saliva, and you can go away with it. Sound fair? "

Viggo paused, thinking for a brief moment before nodding to me. I walked over, collecting some of the green saliva that was oozing down the dragons mouth... I walked back to my dragons and Hiccup, I hope he trusted me enough, I may not be a dragon whisperer like him, but I did know my dragons. We flew back onto the island and as they started to sail away, the Buffalord suddenly became hostile and agitated, puffing itself up and shooting quills and fire all over the sailing ships. Viggo called out to Ryker who cut the ropes and watched the dragon fly back to it's home, which I laughed seeing Viggo agitated for once.

" Smart move riders! I expect more like this. " He said coldly yet so calm, it sent goosebumps through my body, I quickly shook the feeling off. " You all go home, I'm just gonna get a drawing for the Buffalord. " Everyone saddled up their dragons and took off, Corro & Runestorm sat behind me as I pulled out my book and pencil and started drawing. It took a few hours or so trying to catch every single detail, but eventually I got it down perfectly. I set my book and pencil back into my satchel, then got onto Runestorm and we took off, enjoying the nighttime breeze, something was off though, I didn't see a single hunter ship, and normally no matter the day they were off hunting, honestly that made me fear worse then I already was...

Corro chirped at nudged my armpit which caused me snap put of my thoughts and see...A Monstrous Nightmare heading straight towards us! I quickly had Runestorm swivel and dodge the Monstrous Nightmare, what had scared that dragon do bad? Then I saw it... A Titanwing Death Song, I definitely wasn't staying to find out much more!

That was until I heard the pleading gasps of Viggo, he had been in snared in Death Song amber! As much as I disliked the whole thought of hunting dragons I knew deep down I had to help him... So, I reached in Runestorms saddle bag and pulled out some Monstrous Nightmare gel, I had him land as far away from the Death Song and out of sight from any hunters that may not have been caught. I quietly made my way to the prey sight, the Death Song was gone but you could hear its song from miles away. I poured the gel onto Viggo's amber cocoon and put my finger over my lips, my way if saying " Don't tell anybody I did this. "

He chuckled, I pulled something out of my satchel, it was my form of a fire source, nobody knew I had it, well until now that is. I set the cocoon on fire, causing it to explode from the sheer pressure of the flame, I quickly got up, holding my hand pit for him to take, he reached his grip firm and steady, it kind of hurt my arm not going to lie but I helped pull him up. I handed him the rest of my Monstrous Nightmare gel and ran off before the Death Song noticed I was there, I mounted onto Runestorm and we got out of there as fast as we arrived. We landed on my hut patio, as soon as I opened it I was greeted my two very worried twins who forced me into an embrace, which I lovingly accepted and returned it. " You all really shouldn't worry, I wasn't gone for THAT long. "

Ruffnut laughed and snorted, causing me and Tuffnut to also laugh, Tuffnut snorting made me fall to the floor with laughter. I quickly got back up, " You guys should go get some sleep, I'll see you in the morning. " They nodded, petting both Runestorm and Corro before exiting the hut, closing it behind them, had Hiccup finally taught them manners? That's what I had thought until I heard a loud grunt and boars squealing, clearly I was wrong, I sighed happily, throwing my satchel onto my desk, changing into something comfortable and collapsed onto my bed. I let out a quiet, tired yawn and fell asleep after a bit of thinking of why I had helped Viggo...

I was awoken by the shouts of Toothless and Hiccup, I quickly put on suitable clothing and rushed outside, Corro and Runestorm following behind, they were all chasing a Terrible Terror? The Terror rushed into Fishlegs' hut and he immediately closed the door, I chuckled, until I felt something land on my shoulder...I also had a Terrible Terror mail? I shrugged my shoulders and returned into my hut, reading the letter to myself...

Thank you my dear for saving me from that dragon, I didn't even kill it, I felt the pity that you felt for me I suppose. Next time though, that dragon won't be so lucky... I hope you accept my gift, if not I'll just have to find something nicer.
- Viggo Grimborn <3

Again with the heart? And he got me a gift? It was then I noticed something on the Terrible Terror's right horn, I slowly and carefully removed it and unwrapped it, it was a gorgeous dark blue, and red jewelry set, though I didn't wear earrings often I suppose I could wear them for a few days. I slowly and carefully put the earrings on, then the necklace and ring. What was odd though was that the ring wasn't like the necklace and earrings... It was a pure black ring with a pink crystal of some sort in it.

(For reference)

Still, how did Viggo find these? Probably the Northern Markets. I shrugged my shoulders and stepped out of my hut, Tuffnut and Ruffnut ran straight towards me in shock " FISHLEGS AND HEATHER ARE DATING!!! " Ruffnut screamed out from her excitement, the raspy yelling made me rub my ears slightly. I shook my head, " Are you sure they aren't just friends making sure that the other is okay? "

Tuffnut, being the doofus nodded, " I agree with your hypothesis sister Thorston. It would seem accurate. " Ruffnut huffed slightly at the fact that Tuffnut was agreeing with me rather then her." Well, is anything going on today? " I asked inquisitively, not seeing the harm in it.

" We're going to the Northern Markets, Queen Mala, said something about there being a surplus of hunters that are buying out most of the weapons. " Astrid said confidently stepping from behind my younger siblings. " I see! Well then, we should certainly get a move on then we wouldn't want to keep Hiccup waiting. " I smiled, saddling Runestorm up, and Corro jumped up onto his seat on Runestorms back, as did I. We all took off, following Hiccup that is, I didn't know who Queen Mala was but, if Hiccup and the others trusted her then I guess she was on our side... " Hey Snotlout, if you don't mind me asking who is Queen Mala? "

" Psh, she's the Queen of the Defenders of the Wing, I was supposed to be king but I messed up one of the tests so she didn't choose me. " Snotlout huffed in annoyance, the thought of him being a king of anyone made me shudder. I flew ahead of Snotlout and beside the twins. " So, Mala is on our side? " The twins who were upside-down, turned right-side up and Ruffnut was the one who answered " Yeah, if it weren't for Toothless, Hiccup would've been eaten by Speedstingers. " Tuffnut chuckled at the thought, that made me very uncomfortable so I flew to the back of the group, letting my thoughts absorb me.

Once we arrived at the Northern Markets, we saw that it was COVERED in hunters, it was certainly uncomfortable, then I noticed Viggo buying something from the flower stand, it deemed he already had a bag full of items. " Guys, you check out the armory stands and weapons stand. I need to go see something. " They took off in the opposite direction as I did. I made sure that Runestorm and Corro stayed out of sight as I slowly, and fearfully approached Viggo, then I saw his brother Ryker and hid. " What's with the flowers brother? Going to become a gardener when the hunt is over? " Ryker teased his younger brother, who in returned just sighed.

" No, my dear brother, gardening hasn't ever been my favorite thing. It's for someone special... " Viggo looked away for a moment, before picking up a ice blue rose, with a snow white lily and some other flowers, though what caught my attention was that he began to carve the flowers and turned them into a multitude of small dragons. I watched as the hunters left and I returned to the others. " So, now that we know the hunters have indeed purchased a bunch of weapons and such what's our next move? "

Hiccup only glanced at me, before mounting Toothless and taking off, the others followed as did I... Why does this week have to be so weird!
