"What is the meaning of this?!?" Stoick had a voice which seemed to reverberate through walls... and bones. Ruffnut and Tuffnut had been eyeing up a bowl of mashed potatoes. (one of the many dishes available) Just previous to Stoick's outburst the twins had taken the bowl from the table. "hmm... " ruffnut stares at the yellow fluffy snow quizzically "Its ...consisity... is.... profound" he rubs his chin quickly before snapping his finger and pointing to the sky with a smile of wonderment on his face. "Hit me with it" Tuffnut closes his eyes leaning his face forward. Ruffnut grins maliciously, then breaks the ceramic bowl over his waiting head. "hmmm... Harder than I thought.... awesome, do it again". As she picks an empty plate from the table raising it above her head, she is interrupted by Stoick. "eh sorry chief, won't happen again I promise." she salutes, and once his steel gaze had shifted she hit her twin in the face with her fist.

Gobber enjoyed a hefty rack of lamb as he stood at the massive Great Hall door as it opened. Hiccup and Toothless donder through. "Good flight boys?" he then took a hefty chunk of meat from bone. "It was eh... eventful" Hiccup scratched his head glancing back as the mysterious pair they had encountered entered the doorway. Each moment Braden was bathed by the light of the flames the uncanny resemblance seemed less a coincidence. "Stoick.." Gobber called, mouth unable to close over the mulch between his teeth. The room falls silent as they realise that something new and different had entered the hall. The only sound that of the strange riders footsteps, and of course the oblivious Snotlout saying to Astrid "Fishlegs said yes, what do you think?"

Stoick rose to his feet... his steel gaze and iron fists showing true bewilderment. Even though years had passed, he already knew who this stranger was. "Braden?"

Hiccup squinted and tilted his head to the side "Wait... You know him?" Braden was equally as confused and moved closer to the domineering figure at the opposite side of a large stone round table, gesturing for his dragon to remain with Toothless. Before a word could leave his mouth Stoick creeps a smile over his shocked expression. He turns to the townsfolk who fill the entirety of the colossal room in which they all stood, mouths gaping. Stoick raised his arms and bellowed "My son has come home!!". A venerable euphoria washes over the chief as he runs to the boy arms wide, beckoning for a tight and rib-breaking bearhug. "Your what?? I've never had a brother.... How is this even poss-" Hiccup was interrupted "He is your brother."

"You see when you were both young, that night that your mother... was taken from us... so was he. He was wrapped in the claw of a dragon I thought he was dead. I thought that maybe you would forget him so I.... WE all kept him a secret to spare you from any unnecessary pain... You had to have had a mother.... but you didn't have to have a brother" Stoick nearly allows his voice to falter. Gobber puts a hand to Hiccup's shoulder and confirms "It's true, sorry laddie. We did what we thought was right at the time"

Braden still speechless turns to Hiccup, his brother, who had remained at the door with Gobber and the two night furies who had picked up on the tension and had their eyes fixed on their riders. Stoick breaks the silence "My sons are reunited and ...alive... Now let's celebrate" A cheer rose from the crowd, meanwhile the academy were still without words.

Stoick leads Braden out of the Great Hall with Hiccup a hand on each of their shoulders. Their father turns to the cheering crowd exclaiming "I think I have some explaining to do" He waves and turns for home with Toothless and... "So who is that?" Stoick nods his head towards the second night fury "That's...eh... Scar... You see he has a birthmark under his chin.. and...." Still in shock he barely remembers to breathe let alone speak. "You can both stay with us tonight" Stoick leads the four to their homestead for a sleepless and confusing night.

But inside the celebrations continued...

"Celebrating? Does that mean… cake?" Jay asked excitedly. "By the way… did any of you guys know that Hiccup had a brother? And it's so cool that there's actually another Night Fury! Ooh, potatoes!" She spotted some mashed potatoes and scooped them onto her plate before beginning to eat them happily. "I like potatoes."

The dragons who were on perches above the hall had watched on completely unaware of the events that had just taken place, but they were happy as Larry nonetheless.

From about ten feet away from Jay, Snotlout leaned his head to Astrid whose expression was still that of absolute shock. "Eh.. Astrid.. who is that girl?". Astrid turns to him almost disgusted "Do you pay attention to anything that has ANYTHING OTHER TO DO WITH SNOTLOUT??" She was practically heaving. Hiccup had a brother, a twin even, Snotlout had barely taken any notice. "And Jay? You don't remember?? Here let me break it down so you'll understand..." Astrid put on a face similar to Tuffnuts when he falls asleep upside down from the rafters- it was the dumbest face she knew.

"Jay is a girl. She is almost 15 years old. She has Black hair.She has green eyes but no dragon..." Astrid split up her words so that she sounded like a nine year old trying read aloud in class. "Astrid do I look blind to you?" he looked only at Jay. "Well you could have fooled me!" Snotlout huffs and purses his lips in disapproval. "I mean how did she get here?" he kicked the ground almost letting on that Astrid had hurt him a little in the most 'warrior like' Jorgenson manner that he could- by taking his anger out on the earth.

Astrid dropped the face. "Fine! She was that girl remember? She ran away when she was like five? The entire village, including you, went looking for her but we never could find her?" Snotlout's eyes widened "Ohhhh" Astrid smiled with her lips "mhm" then his face took on a crazed grin. "She was the one they found in the dragons nest??" Astrid puts a hand to each of his shoulders "Ah you do listen" Then Snotlout leaned in for a kiss, lips puckered and eyes closed. Astrid locks her arms keeping him at a distance and throwing him to the ground. "or maybe not...you better know her by tomorrow, she's joined the academy as of this afternoon" Snotlout's face hugged the ground cumbersomely.

She walked away not even glancing back and arrived next to Fishlegs "Did you know anything abou-" Fishlegs had remained silent and was still staring sheepishly at the door since his friend Hiccup had left. "No." he interrupted her. He will be training tomorrow with us no doubt. what do we say?" He turns to Astrid pouting "Hiccup has a brother. Hiccup has a brother. Hicc..." he continued his mutterings for a short moment before Astrid clasped her hand over his mouth. "And we are..." her head leaned in as she beckoned for him to finish "Happy?" Astrid clapped him on the shoulder "Right! Now let's ask Gobber about this." she points at Gobber who had returned to indulging himself in meat and mead. "You know... I'm going to go home. MEATLUGG" She pricked her head up and hovered over expectantly, bulbous tail wagging. Astrid sighed and continued towards Gobber as Fishlegs was carried from the room.

"Gobber!" he spied her curious face and took one last bite off his bone before throwing it to the nearest dragon, then said to himself "Handy!" before turning to Astrid "My lips are sealed Astrid, I'm not going to say anything about Braden or what happened" she stared with her hand on her hips and her face blank. "That's not going to work with me lassie, you know I once knew a sheep that looked at me like you are now... I think I just ate him" her face remains the same "Stoick would kill me if he knew" Astrid crossed her arms. "There's nothing more to tell Astrid now let's enjoy the rest of the night ad in the morning you can ask him yourself" He walks to the table and stabs a chunk of meat with his hook-knife and begins devouring it messily. Astrid sighs and calls Stormfly to her. "C'mon girl. How about some chicken?" The dragon rubs her head into her rider's embrace.

All the townsfolk continued their celebrations long into the night, knowing that in the morning there was to be a new member of their tribe and as always a new challenge to face...

Many of the people of Berk had found an easy task in sleeping as their heads hit their pillows but Hiccup and Braden had spent the night staring at the ceiling as they lay in adjoining beds.
They talked non-stop until dawn, Braden telling his brother how he was raised by the two dragons on Dragon Island from when they were only youngsters themselves. "I'd never been in a bed before, Hiccup, until now... this is amazing!!" the dragons had done the same, either muttering to each other as their riders did or by relaxing to the sound of their tattering voices. The two boys were very similar, they even yawned the same, and that was occurring more and more frequently as their catching up dragged on. Over their chattering the snoring and grumbling of the townsfolk was practically deafening.

"So YOU and Toothless killed the queen??" Hiccup was curious "So you weren't there?"
"No, we were out looking for Toothless, as we were when we found you."
"Well we did, cost me my leg too"he swivels his leg from under the covers.
"Ouch" Braden exclaims. "Yeah.... that is the general reaction..." Hiccup bounces his head in agreement. Braden gets out of his bed and lumbers, exhausted, over to Scar. "So when am I meeting the others? After hearing about them all I really want to put face to name " He grins excitedly while stroking each dragon's head.
"Soon, Toothless and I usually take a flight around the Island first thing in the morning if you want to join us?" Braden looks to his brother thrilled.

The mist that covered the Island of Berk brought with it a silver hue, and a sharp cold and stillness. The brothers glided above feeling the fresh taste in the morning air. Although taking in the sights was fun, the brothers shared a better idea...
Neither were competitive but an aero-acrobatic performance was in order. The riders tested their dragons ,they dived, flipped and corkscrewed over the horizon of silver mist. At one point there was some intricate swapping of dragons and for the sake of Braden not being used to the mechanism that allows Toothless to fly the brothers ended their games, laughing loud as they approached the Arena, the crowd of trainers and dragons had arrived early to greet their new guests, Jay included, but she was still asleep. The night furies landed gracefully completing a circle of dragon and rider.

Hiccup began, "Okay gang, this is Braden and Scar" Braden waved somewhat shyly, unused to this much attention from people. Hiccup continued "We honestly don't have the time to go through his whole life story so i'll keep it brief- He's seventeen, the same age as myself, he was raised by night furies until one day.... when... they were... inexplicably separated..." even Toothless was holding in a chortle. Tuffnut piped up as he walks over to use his hands to examine him "So does he think he's a dragon? Did they teach him to breathe fire? Can he teach me? Does he have wings?" Tuffnut fiddled with Braden's shoulder blades, Braden punched him in the forehead leaving him sprawled in a heap. "I like him...." he then fell in a delighted daze to the ground. "So... Astrid, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Fishlegs and Snotlout? and... Stormfly, Hookfang, Meatlug, Barf and Belch? " Going off Hiccups description Braden named each one without fail... "WAIT I'M HERE" Jay shouts, running and completely exasperated. "... and Jay....So what's first?" A loud roar interupts Hiccup before he can answer..
....

Monstrous Nightmare

A Silver Phantom known to the village as Stardust, glides into the arena. She stalks slowly up to Hiccup, expecting fish. "Oh, er- sorry Stardust." Hiccup says. "Stardust is a Silver Phantom, she expects me to feed her." Stardust bows to the teens, favoring Jay, and then shyly eats the fish Hiccup offered her. "why don't you just stay here, Stardust, if you have nothing else to do?" Hiccup offers. Stardust nods, and finds a spot to sit, still favoring Jay. "Seems Stardust likes you, Jay." Hiccup says and chuckles.
"Shall we continue?"
What should I write on my signature? Hmm...
I am a Httyd, Gravity Falls and Portal (One and two) fan.
I'm also a bookworm and an introvert.
That was pretty random, but that's me summed up in two sentences.
