Reunion

Una trudged on as fast as she could to locate her other older ‘brother’ Hiccup. Problem was she was still extremely drained from the assault back in the afterlife, plus she hadn’t yet fully been rejuvenated by the magical amulet’s powers. It also didn’t help, that while she still wore her snow white spirit dress, she wasn’t wearing any shoes. As a result her tiny bare feet were badly bleeding, as well as nicked, from the jagged rocks and other parts of rough terrain. Her beautiful dress was being worn to shreds plus getting extremely filthy. Nevertheless she had to keep going and not worry about all that. Every second counted if she was too restore order and balance to the spirit world. It was an awful lot to ask of a child to do that. Nonetheless she was given this mission and she’d to do it. Plus at least she’d get to see Hiccup again! So with that happy thought she put up with the pain, despite the fact that she was still incredibly weak, and the terrible pain she felt, made if hard to take pleasure in being alive for a second time. It was almost dusk by the time she finally reached her destination.


She stopped at the edge of forest line and gazed down from an enormous gray rock at the village of Berk. A place Hiccup and Stoick had spoken of both so often, yet she’d thought she’d never witness it with her own eyes. It was so beautiful in the dying light. Beyond doubt it was and looked incredibly charming along with cozy looking.  As she gazed at the village she remembered what Hiccup had said about his home in that cute sarcastic and fun tone of his. One thing was for sure about Hiccup that was he knew how to make you laugh, with his dry sense of humor and wicked wit. At least she found his narration of his home that way. Even after being in the afterlife for the past five years, she still couldn’t remember what her original homeland had been like or even what her parents looked like. Valhalla was so gigantic that she’d never encountered her biological parents since coming to the next world. Consequently that was the main reason why she had taken to seeing Stoick the Vast as her father. Even Boden had remarked when he’d escorted her to Valhalla that he’d not been able to find their parents in the hereafter. He suspected that they’d never really left the part of Valhalla they’d called home. Several souls were like that. They’d find a place in the afterlife and just stay in it. Tiny communities of older souls who didn’t get out much, like a retirement community for those who didn’t really want their afterlife to be disturbed. Therefore that why she and Boden saw and hung around Stoick so much, in view of the fact that he now was pretty much the only parent they’d left.


A large dark shadow passed overhead scaring the small child. She let out a small shriek then she hid behind the giant oak tree, which had wrapped its roots around that ancient rock, upon which she stood. The dark shadow turned out to be a large dragon, a species that Una didn’t remember her brother telling her about. She knew right away it wasn’t Toothless the last Night Fury for Hiccup had told her everything about him. For the duration of their time in that damn spirit cavern, when he’d been teaching her things, he’d told her all on the subject of all the dragons he knew about. Therefore she was fairly certain that this four winged dragon was a new one. For the reason that he’d have mention it if he’d known about it, in any case she was sure that this dragon’s Rider was female, so it wasn’t Hiccup. Her beautiful bright blue eyes followed the beautiful dragon and its Rider as they landed in the village and she couldn’t make much out after they’d passed by the cliff. Una knew she’d come to right place. A Viking village full of dragons had to be Berk. Take a deep breath she little by little made her way cautiously down to the village of Berk. At the same time as she made the last bit of her trek, she looked up and saw the beautiful sun was setting casting, the spell of those beautiful in addition to magnificent colors. Pausing for a moment she drank in the wonder and magic of the beauty beyond measure before her. She’d been without a doubt right when she’d said, that the colors of the Spirit Sun when it rose or set, hadn’t been as beautiful and breathtaking, as the ones on Earth. Looking at the setting sun before was only conformation of her opinion. She saw for herself that these indeed more beautiful, richer and more colorful colors, then anything she’d witnessed in the past five years of Valhalla. Everyday there was the virtually the same as the one before and each day felt like a year because of that fact. Now back on Earth she could once more feel the mortal way of time and it made her even smile a bit.

She was so spellbound it wasn’t till a small field mouse ran over her bloodstained feet that she awoke from her enchantment. “Ah!! Oh it’s just a baby mouse! How cute!” she remarked in a whisper as she stroked the tiny mouse soft gray and smiled. The mouse giggled a bit then took off like shot. Una then looked up and remembered her propose for being there. “Okay, Una, let’s do what we came here to do! This isn’t a vacation or anything like that. Remember you’re dead and the dead belong to the dead. This illusion of life is merely a temporary magical spell. I’ve not truly been resurrected, I’m only flesh and blood as long as this Amulet is around my neck,” she sadly reminded herself as she brushed a few tears off her face. She then continued on her trek to village.

The whole village of Berk was so busy and crowded that it didn’t even seem anyone become aware of her. Despite the fact, she was only one wearing white, and barefoot everyone just kept ignoring her. What’s more not a soul seemed to hear her pleading to help her find her brother. She was ducking and trying to get out of the way. Spinning and trying not to get trampled wasn’t easy. It wasn’t till a large fuchsia and dark indigo dragon finished loading a wooden cart full of fish that anyone really noticed her. The Viking driving the cart was humming a tune that Una didn’t recall Hiccup teaching her. She was about to ask him where Hiccup was when suddenly the cart hit a rock hidden under some mushrooms. The wheel broke and the cart was speeding towards her. She was frozen with fear and let out a scream. Then just moments before the cart would’ve certainly killed her, or at the very least seriously injure her, she was scooped into someone’s arms and snatched safely out of the way.

Una looked up and realized it was a woman who’d saved her. However, before she’d get a chance to thank her for saving her, the woman looked sternly at the Viking whose folly had nearly killed her. “Hakon the Horrible! You really should be more careful! I know we’re still dealing with a huge mess and all. But how could you or anyone not notice a small child? If you’d been paying attention she wouldn’t have been in harms way!” scolded the beautiful auburn haired woman. Her beautiful green eyes had shown a fiery passion as she hugged Una even tighter to her bosom.

“Sorry, Valka, really I am,” Hakon the Horrible apologized, “My dragon Bloodwart and I here were just getting ready to take these fishes up to be stored in pantry. I was in such a hurry to get there before dark that I didn’t see that rock. Sorry, little girl. I’m glad you’re not hurt.”

“I’m fine, thank you for the apology though.”

“Alright, Hakon? Get the fish where they need to be. Just be more careful. Have Bloodwart carry the cart, and then take it to Gobber to get it fixed. See you later in the Great Hall,” the Viking woman named Valka instructed kindly to him. He bowed and whistled and the dragon called Bloodwart came over very obediently and let his rider get on him and complete his duties.

It was at this time Valka and Una got a good look at each other. Valka seemed to be confused but Una felt warm, safe and happy in this woman’s arms. She snuggled closer to her and let out a loving sigh. “Thank you for saving me!”

“It’s nothing, my darling child. You look very familiar for a stranger. I swear I’ve seen you somewhere before. Though I don’t know where,” Valka admitted as she carried the child to her home. It seemed obvious to her at least that this child wouldn’t be on her own if she’d anyone to take care of her. Also she felt an instantaneous connection with the child that she wasn’t about to leave her alone.

“I’ve never seen you either, so how you’d know me I don’t know.”

“You’re such a mess, my child. Come; let’s get you a bath, some new clothes and a hot meal. You should also get some sleep in. You look like you’re almost dead! Cloudjumper?” she called out and the four winged dragon that had scared her earlier came flying. “Cloudjumper? Please go heat up the bath and get dinner started. That’s a good boy!” she said as she patted his nose.

“Wow! I’ve never seen a dragon like that before, and my big brother told me all about the dragons he knew of!”

“I’m not surprised that you’ve never seen a Stormcutter before. This dragon hasn’t been on Berk for twenty years. I brought him here with me when I finally came home. He’s a kindred spirit to me. We’ve got the same soul and heart. I love him very deeply. He’s more then a friend and companion but almost as if he was a part of me.”

“My brother was like that. He use to tell me when one bonds with a dragon by winning their trust, that a part of their soul flows into your own heart and soul. It’s beyond words to describe, yet he never once talked about anything other then his bond with his dragon. I’ve missed my brother for the past five years and really want to see him again.”

“Well, little one, I’ll help you find him, but first let’s get you cleaned up and get some food into you. You also need a goodnight sleep before we even think of looking for your big brother. Come on, the bath should be ready!” Valka told her as they enter a large wooden house. It was warm, cozy and homely. She felt safe and happy. Valka was good as her word. She helped Una get cleaned up in a nice hot bath. Then while she was getting dried off by the cozy amber fire, she took one of Hiccup’s old green tunics, and tailored it some to better fit Una. She also added the softest of rabbit fur on the cuffs, hem, plus found a small pair of leather boots trimmed also with rabbit’s fur for the child. She of course wasn’t really a good cook, but the little girl didn’t seem to mind. The way she ate her terrible cooking was like she hadn’t eaten in a lifetime.

“Thank you so much for your kindness, Valka. I’ve never felt this happy since my brother and I were force to say goodbye. I’ve missed him terribly for the past five years and I just hope he’s alright. It’s very hard on you to know the ones you love aren’t all the way happy.”

“It’s nothing, my child. I swear I’ve seen you before. Yet you’re not from Berk are you? I mean what Viking child would wear a snow white dress and walk around without any boots? Where are you from? What’s your name?”

“My name is…” she started to say before she just swayed backwards. Valka caught her in her arms and smiled. “We’ll talk more in the morning. You need your sleep. Little girls need their beauty rest for them to grow into beautiful women. Come let’s get you to bed.” Valka rocked Una slowly in her arms and started to hum the song “Dancing and Dreaming” her and Stoick’s song. Una closed her eyes and drifted off into a contented sleep as Valka started to sing the song to her. Laying her in bed and covered her with a blanket she started to sing a bit louder but never took the song out of a lullaby tone.

“I’ll swim and sail on savage seas with ne'er a fear of drowning. And gladly ride the waves of life if you will marry me. No scorching sun, nor freezing cold will stop me on my journey. If you will promise me your heart and love…And love me for eternity my dearest one, my darling dear, your mighty words astound me. But I’ve no need of mighty deeds when I feel your arms around me. But I would bring you rings of gold; I'd even sing you poetry!  And I would keep you from all harm if you would stay beside me! I have no use for rings of gold; I care not for your poetry. I only want your hand to hold I only want you near me! To love and kiss, to sweetly hold! For the dancing and the dreaming! Through all life’s sorrows and delights, I’ll keep your love inside me! I’ll swim and sail on savage seas with ne'er a fear of drowning! And gladly ride the waves of life if you will marry me!”

Una managed to open her eyes for a few seconds and smiled, then whispered, “Lovely song. So sweet…” was all she managed to say before she fell peacefully asleep. It was the first time in many, many, many years that Una was really sleeping. Not like in the spirit cave or in Valhalla. No this time she was truly drifting off into a beautiful dream. In her dream unknown to anyone else at the moment she was flying free in the beautiful sunrise with Hiccup nearby. With such a beautiful dream dancing in her mind it was only natural that her pretty features matched her inside so she was smiling very happily on the outside.

Valka smiled pleasantly and stroked her blond and lilac hair affectionately. It sure was messy and very uneven as if someone had taken a shard of glass to cut it. That struck something inside her. As if she’d been told about this kinda haircut once before, though try as she might she couldn’t remember, where she’d seen or heard those words. Though despite the fact, that she couldn’t recall where she seen or heard this child, she did know she knew she must protect this child, till they’d locate her brother. She wished Hiccup was home at that moment to help her help this child.

Though he and Toothless were out on another island attending a chief’s meeting and wouldn’t be back till morning. So she’d been left in charge till he came home. Kissing the special child on her forehead she and Cloudjumper quietly crept out of the room so she could get some sleep. She almost immediately followed the suite, as both she and Cloudjumper went to their bedroom to sleep, yet it was quite a restless sleep for them both, as they each had a feeling something wasn’t quite right with the world.
Dawn came too early for some of Berk, yet Valka after her restless night of sleeping, was only too happy to see the sunrise come. She quickly got dressed and as she looked for her left boot she saw the strange child had woken up too. She looked still very tired, as if she hadn’t slept as peacefully as she’d suggested the night before either.

“Valka? What’s going on? What happened?”

“I’m expecting my son to return soon. When he gets back we can work at finding your older brother and getting you home. Here have some breakfast, though I’m afraid I’ve never had much talent in cooking. Gobber always said my cooking killed more beast then any ax!” she laughed gaily at herself.

“It matters not to me how the food taste, considering how I’ve not eaten or tasted any food in ages! So I don’t really mind if it’s good or not, just as long as its food.”

“When was the last time you ate? You devoured that horrible dinner I cooked last night as if you hadn’t eaten in your whole life. How long have you been lost, my child?”

“I’ve not been lost in the sense you’re thinking of. I was forgotten about for ages and I’d thought I’d be forgotten and alone for all of time, till Ragnarok happened and all life was dead on Earth. Then my big brother came and he’d helped me. He rescued me in the nick of time before I lost my mind. I’ve missed him greatly for the past five years since I was force to say goodbye to him, and go with my other older brother back ‘home’. Even though it’s not the home you’re thinking of either. I need to find my second brother. The one who saved me and I’m in desperate need of his help! As is a great many people!”

“You’re very mature for your age, my child. I’ve never expected a child to be so well in command of language. So you’ve got two brothers? Where are they? Where’s your home? Tell me.”

“My blood brother is back home with my foster father and all of the rest of souls of my home. It’s my other brother the one who isn’t my blood but still my brother in all the ways that matter I seek,” she cryptically explained to Valka who still didn’t seem to understand what she meant. Before she could ask for more information there was a burst of light from an open loft above them.

“He’s back! Come, child! We must go greet the chief and he can help you in any matter,” and she took Una’s hand and hurried her out of the house to the village square. Everyone on the whole island was gathering awaiting the return of their chief. When Una looked up at the sky saw for herself that up in the sky were four different kinds of dragons, each having a Rider commanding them. She felt like she knew who was who, for she knew what Hiccup had told her about his friends and girlfriend’s dragons, and she knew instantly who each was!

The heavyset blond young man with the tiny helmet riding the Gronckle was Fishlegs, the black haired jock dolt on the Monstrous Nightmare was Snotlout, the pair of bickering twins on the Hideous Zippleback was Ruffnut and Tuffnut and the blond beauty on the Deadly Nadder was unmistakably her brother Hiccup’s true love Astrid! That meant if these four were here that Hiccup couldn’t be far away! At long last she’d be reunited with her older brother Hiccup! She looked up and a euphoric smile etched its way onto her lovely face. For now she finally saw the Night Fury Toothless! And riding him was Hiccup!

Both Hiccup and his new outfit were very different since they’d last seen each other. For one thing he was so much taller and muscular then last time that they’d been together, and for another he wore a brown leather outfit with a mask and had a flaming sword. She waited till he took off his mask and shook his hair out. She let out a gasp of surprise. For he was now smoking sexy hot! If he wasn’t her brother she might have fallen in love with him. Silver tears streamed down her face as he got off Toothless and he looked just so perfect. Though she almost didn’t notice she did see he was wearing a crystal necklace which held a single lock of lilac hair within it. It was her hair! He’d never forgotten her! He’d kept his promise!

“Hiccup! Hiccup! So glad you’re home! I’ve been so worried about you, my son,” Valka called out and Una realized with a shock who Valka was! Hiccup had said his mom was dead, yet she did remember Stoick telling both her and Boden, that they’d found his wife alive and well, just before he died. He hadn’t mentioned her name thus far. The main reason was they’d been so busy getting him accustomed to living in Valhalla, there hadn’t been time to tell the whole story yet. As a result now she knew why she felt so happy and safe with Valka! She was her brother’s MOM!

Hiccup was racing towards his mom to hug her when he stopped dead in his tracks. He was looking right at Una and she was looking at him. He was absolutely flabbergasted as well as shocked to see his little sister and she was hardly breathing being in his presences. “Una?” was all he could manage to say.

“Hello, Hiccup!”

“Una!”

“Big brother!” and with that the pair race to each other arms and embraced affectionately. He then scooped her up into his arms, and spun her around fast as he could, while she spread her arms to fly. They just kept spinning and laughing, till they toppled back on the ground, and she hugged him tightly and kissed him. He hugged her tightly back laughing happily. All this time the whole village of Berk and Hiccup’s friends just looked at him strangely. They’d course after the funeral had been performed five years ago, been told the story of what happened during the two weeks Hiccup’s soul had been missing. Still not a soul with the exception of perhaps Astrid, Valka and Stoick had understood how much Hiccup had loved Una and consider her to be his sister. Now they all could see for themselves the deep and powerful bond these two shared.

“Oh, Hiccup! It’s so nice to see you again! I’ve dreamed of nothing else for the past five years in Valhalla!”

“It’s great too see you too, Una! But how is this possible? You ain’t a ghost any longer and I can feel your touch on my fingertips and your breath on my lips. I also hear the beating of your kind heart! So how are you alive?”

“I’ll tell you and your mom the whole story soon, I promise. But can it please wait for three hours? I want to ride on Toothless like you promised! I want to smell the flowers of spring, and race barefoot on the vibrant soft spring grass, and then squish my toes in the fresh mud. Please, brother? Just three hours?”

“We really should hear why you’re here and alive. Yet a promise is a promise. Come a few hours of fun is what you deserve for what you’ve been through. Mom, care to join us?”

“Absolutely, son. Cloudjumper? Come! We’re going on a ride!”

“Great! Astrid? You think you and the other riders can mange for a few hours maintaining the peace and order of Berk?”

Astrid kissed Hiccup’s right cheek and smiled. “I’ll take that as a yes. See you all later! C’mon, Una! Time to have the time of your life!” he told her as he threw her on Toothless’s back. She was giggling like mad as she stroked the ebony dragon gently. He seemed to be purring and gave her his toothless grin.

“He’s so cute!”

“Yeah, he can be. Ready to ride?”

“I’ve been ready for a long time!”

“Okay! On the count of three! One, two, three!” and almost immediately they rose rapidly far above the ground into the sky. She was laughing and screaming at the same time. But she was just super happy! Both Hiccup and his mom laughed gleefully. They’re remembering the first time they’d flown, so they understood how Una was feeling. She wasn’t scared at all; she was enjoying the thrill very much!

“This is beyond amazing! C’mon, Toothless! Take it up a notch! Show me what you can really do!” Una encouraged the Night Fury. The dragon looked at his best friend with a twinkle of excitement in his greenish gold eyes.

“You sure, Una? You sure you want to really fly?”

“I want to do it! I’ve been dreaming about nothing else for the past five years! Please? Please, brother?”

“Alright, little sister, this is how you fly,” he told her as he showed and whispered instructions to her. She wasn’t the least be scared. Still he put the auto tail gear in locked postion that way Toothless would still be able to fly, but Una wouldn’t be in any danger. So then he leapt off and activated his flight suit quietly literally flew in the heavens like a dragon! She screamed with delight as he flew alongside her, and then Valka along with Cloudjumper did their own aerial acrobatics and really enjoyed themselves. It was like they’re a true family for a few moments.

Of course all good things must come to end. After they’d flown for an hour and half, they then landed in the cove where Hiccup and Toothless had first met. Hiccup landed first and then helped the little girl off the ebony dragon’s back. His mom soon touched down as well and hurried over. Una was smiling elatedly, though her messy blond and lilac hair was even more of a mess now that they’d flown, but it didn’t bother her.

All the same Valka had brought along a hairbrush and began to try and tame these unruly locks. She was sitting on a nice gray rock at the edge of the lake in the cove. Una was sitting on the soft green grass as the Viking woman attempted to do the impossible with her hair.

“Your hair is so soft and silky-smooth, child. I guess though your other brother didn’t really know much about haircutting,” she commented as she began to brush Una’s untamed mess of hair.
“Well, Valka-Mommy, my hair used to be so long it reached my waist, but on that day we went exploring, when we raced to find shelter from the approaching thunderstorm, I got caught in a bramble bush. I was so tangled up that using a broken shard of pottery was all we could do to get me free in time. So, no, Valka-Mommy, he didn’t have much of chance of making it look nice and neat. Though I still love my lilac tips. I think it makes me unique and cool.”

“Well, it certainly does that, Una. Now hold still I think I can make this a bit more neat.” Valka told her gently as she continued to work on Una’s hair. Hiccup was nearby gathering some fresh water and Toothless was fishing. He was keeping his eye on his little sister closely, but he knew his mom was doing her best to do the same. After half an hour he’d caught enough fish to make a good meal. So while he made a meal fit to be eaten it for all five of them, with Toothless and Cloudjumper’s help, Valka had finally managed to do the impossible, and made Una’s beautiful hair finally even and neat-looking.

“Well, brother? How do I look? And do we really have to eat something that a dragon already had half of?”

“You look great, Una! You’re so beautiful and I mean it. I never saw you look so good! No, you don’t have to eat what Toothless already eaten. I’ve got some nice salmon for you with some berries as well. I made you berry fruit juice too. I know you love it. So enjoy!”

“You remembered!” she said crying as she held the goblet of berry juice. Smiling and crying at the same time she gulped some of it down quickly.

“Don’t drink it too fast, Una. You could chock or stain your pretty dress. So take small sips and enjoy it. We have one hour left of fun, so don’t hurry it along.”

“Okay, Valka-Mommy. I won’t!”

After they’d finished their meal, they granted Una’s last wish, which was to wiggle her toes in the fresh mud. Grinning with mischief she started a water fight and nailed Hiccup in face with both mud and water at the same time. He just cleaned his face and pounced on her and they just rolled around laughing. It was just the perfect moment for Una who loved every minute of being alive and just being a kid again. Though she knew her time of fun was over and they needed to return to Berk and tell them why she was back on Earth.
So they soon came back to the village and everyone was alright for the most part.

The Riders had done a good job keeping everything in order and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Astrid made a great second-in-command. The way she took charge and helped everyone Una saw for herself quite easily how come Hiccup loved her so much.

“Okay, Fishlegs! I need you and Meatlug to go check on how the boat repairs are coming along. So hurry up quickly! Snotlout, you and Hookfang, are needed to collect and store all the fish we’ve caught for the last two weeks, and no eating any of it! Ruff, Tuff? You two and Barf and Belch are needed to gather water and firewood. So hurry up and collect it and please don’t set a forest fire! Everyone else do your normal duties. Hurry!” Astrid commanded sternly as everyone quick as a flash of lightning went to carry out the orders.

“Well done, Astrid. You really have a knack at making people getting to do what you want. Snotlout still doesn’t always listen to me and I’m Chief now! So thanks!”

“No problem, Hiccup. I do anything for you and the tribe. So thanks. Now, let’s get down to business. Its, Una, right?”

“Yes, my name is Una, and you’re Astrid, the attractive as well as cunning warrior my brother has loved as long as he can remember. He told me all about you when he was explaining what it was like to fall in love. Something I’ll never get a chance at to do, however it’s nice to see true love before me, so it ain’t all bad.”

“So, Una, I’ve missed you and I know you’ve missed me. Though I strongly doubt you got here just to visit me. Something must really have to be wrong for you to come back from the dead.”
“Yes, it’s a terrible reason, yet it’s a long and complex story. Though I can tell you I’m already breaking one of the most fundamental rules of the dead. As the Valkyries teach each new soul who comes to Valhalla each day at Spirit Sunrise, we learn very quickly the rules of the dead. The first and foremost rule is this “What is dead and gone cannot be restored””

“Well, if that the first rule you just broke it. But how?”

“Well, Valka-Mommy, I had some help with that. You see I’m close friends with a certain Valkyries named Kara. I was talking with her after Boden and Stoick and I welcomed the newest souls to the afterlife…”

“Wait a moment! You mean my DAD?! MY DAD?! Is he alright? How is he? Is he okay? What happened?!”

“Well, brother, self-sacrifice is a sure-fire way to go to Valhalla because it’s the biggest and most selfless thing someone can do. To willingly lay their life down for another. So he came straight to Valhalla. He’s became both Boden and mine new foster father. We never did find my biological parents in the afterlife. So Stoick been taking good care of me and Boden and we’ve been taking good care of him. He misses you and Valka-mommy very much. He’s been telling both of us the most marvelous stories and he’s just so much fun to be around!”

“So he’s alright? I mean he’s not suffering? He knows that I’m doing the best I can to lead and that Mom is helping now that she’s back home?”

“Yes, he knows and he said he couldn’t be prouder. While we may be banned from returning to Earth we still know what’s going on back on Earth. We do have some of what you might call windows to view our loved ones back here on Earth.”

“Well,” Valka spoke as she wiped the tears away, “As long as Stoick is alright, that all that matters. But you still haven’t answered why you’re here, or how you broke the number one rule of the afterlife.”

“I was getting to that Valka-mommy. Valhalla is under siege!”

“WHAT?!” they all exclaimed at once.

“Una, what do you mean? What’s going on?”
“I don’t really know! I was just talking with Kara yesterday about how much I missed you and how I long to spend some time on Earth again. I mean to be perfectly honest the afterlife can get very boring after awhile and it can be too heavenly at times as well. But that’s not the point! The point is after the new arrivals came and Kara and I went to a private place to talk something attack Valhalla! There was so much chaos and pandemonium and it was raining ice, hail and blood! There also was a strange dragon made of smoke, ashes, and lava, and someone was laughing insanely while all this was going on! Kara took me to a hidden chamber and gave me this!” she told them point to the amulet around her neck.

Hiccup took a better look at the necklace. It was on a silver chain and the amulet was made of turquoise with the golden eye of Odin in the center, with two silver hammers of Thor crossed behind it with golden wings of a Valkyries.

“This amulet is why you’re here?”

Nodding she continued on. “It’s called the Resurrection Amulet. As long as I wear it I’m flesh and blood. Though I can never remove or let anyone else remove it or kill me while I wear it. If I remove it before I finish my mission or someone else removes it or I’m killed I’ll end up in limbo again and won’t be able to return to Valhalla again! So we must act quickly or all is lost and the balance of both the mortal realm and the afterlife will forever be out of balance!”

No-one said anything for a moment. What could someone say to something like this? And more importantly how could the help? They didn’t know what to say or do at the moment but they knew they’d to at least try! All the souls of universe were counting on them!

Very gripping. I want more please.
