Chapter 16: Plan Accelerated
With Hiccup searching for Stormfly, the village started to resemble its old self… somewhat. There was an unforeseen consequence of allowing Hiccup and his Vikings from Berk to come to the village. Their arrival had brought hope to those who opposed him. If he was not careful, he could lose his hold on this village. That was why he had men, loyal to him, quietly imprisoning known Vikings who was against his rule as Viking chief. He could not allow a coup to take place when he was so close to having an army of dragons at his disposal. Alvin was walking by the blacksmith shop when Viggor came out of the hut. “You have a moment?” Alvin chuckled as he gave him a hard slap on his right upper-arm. “Of course, my friend. I assume that you handled Snarsbait and his family.” Viggor nodded with pride. “I turned their dwellings into a new confinement hut. It has the potential to hold five more Vikings.” “Good job, my friend,” Alvin laughed. “I can always depend upon you.” “I’m glad you feel that way. Perhaps, then, you’ll take me advice.” “And what advice do you have for me?” Viggor looked around to see if any of Berk’s Vikings were near-by. “I think the time has come that we make our move. We should put all of the boy’s friends in a confinement hut, and use that as an incentive for him to do what you want.” “Trust me, that idea has crossed my mind,” Alvin admitted. “But he’s too smart. He’d just find a way to free them and ruin my plans yet again. That lad has thwarted my plans twice; there will not be a third.” A shadow flew over them, catching their attention; Toothless was coming in for a landing. Alvin nodded his head, signally his friend that their conversation would have to continue later. Understanding the situation, Viggor headed back for his shop. As Toothless landed, the Vikings of the village were quick to gather around him once again. As Alvin went to greet Hiccup and his girlfriend, he could not help think about how things were soon going to change for the popular lad. His growing hatred for the young hero continued to grow, making it harder for him to pretend to be friendly towards him and his friends. The boy has been a constant thorn in his side for the past year. It was time that he paid the price for everything he has done, and Alvin will be there, celebrating, when justice finally came. Hiccup dismounted from the Night Fury’s back along with his pretty little girl friend. Alvin had contemplated sacrificing the girl to the Furious first, just to make him suffer. The only reason he decided against it was, because as long as he lived, he would be a threat. Hiccup had already ruined his chances to add two of the most deadly dragons to his army. Actually, if he was able to get his hands on Green Death or the Shadow Lord, he would not need an army of dragons; they were more than deadly enough on their own. Instead, the boy had gone and killed both of them, leaving him dragonless. If he could not have those two dragons, then he will have Berk’s, and with that many dragons obeying him, Rome would fall. After Rome was destroyed, he seriously contemplated going after the Chinese. Rumors were spreading that they had discovered a powder that can weaponize fire. He would not stand any form of competition; therefore, the Chinese had to be brought down to size. Hiccup and Astrid urgently pressed through the gathering crowd of Vikings towards him. Alvin hoped the anxious looks on their faces was a good sign. “So, any luck finding Stormfly?” Hiccup scratched the back of his scalp as he looked down at his feet. “Eh—no, but we’ve got another situation.” “Your volcano is going to erupt. We’re all in a lot of danger,” Astrid pressed. Alvin half expected them to discover the imminent danger that the Volcano. He knew perfectly well that the volcano was in danger of erupting. He and the witch were the only ones that knew the truth. His story of Surtur the Fire Giant was nothing more than a fairy tale. It was the only way to convince his tribe that they were safe. Somehow, his mother knew the mountain as if she created it herself; she assured him that they had more than enough time before it went off. “I wouldn’t give it any worry. It’s been threatening for years. As I said, my people will not allow Surtur and his dragon to escapes their prison.” He could see it in their eyes; they weren’t totally convinced of the story. Could it be that his mother was right? Was he pushing his luck too far? “I suppose taking precaution wouldn’t hurt. Out of respect of your reputation, I will begin evacuating most of the village if you would be willing to look for Stormfly one more time for me. If there’s even a remote chance of an eruption ...” “We were thinking about going back out again, anyway, but this time on foot. I figured my friends and I can explore the forest together.” “Good to hear, but I wouldn’t go too far beyond the volcano. There’re some ill-tempered dragons nesting on that side of the island.” Alvin tried to read the boy’s face. He wanted to see if the boy had any intentions of violating his ‘suggestion’. If Hiccup found his two dragons out there, everything would be ruined. “We won’t be long; Toothless is kinda nervous around the volcano.” Alvin read no deceit or mistrust in his face, which put his concern at ease. Now, he can focus on a new worry of his. If the Night Fury was scared of the mountain, then the children’s concerns could be valid. He had to know for sure if this mountain was getting ready to blow, and then confront the witch. For her sake, she had better not be lying to him. He didn’t care if she was his mother; he would kill her on the spot. * * * * Alvin had to know, for certain, if the volcano was coming alive before addressing the witch on the issue. That was why he visited the small pond outside the village, near the bottom of the mountain. The evidence was overwhelming. There were dying trees and brushes surrounding the pond, and the water itself had become acidic. A nauseating smell of sulfur emanated from the boiling water. There could be no doubt that the mountain was ready to go. The witch had some explaining to do. He had started towards the hut, looking over his own shoulders, but it didn’t take him long to realize that none of Berk’s Vikings were in the village. There was no need for him to sneak to the witches hut when there was no danger of them finding out. For the rest of the walk, he walked like an angry Viking chief, who wanted no distractions from anyone on his way to the hut. He threw the door open, nearly ripping it off the hinges, as he stormed into the hut. The witch was anything but surprised by his abrasive entrance. She was standing in front of her giant fire pit in the center of the room. Hoisted over the flames was a large, black caldron. She was—no doubt—cooking up another one of her crazy ‘spells’. “Witch, we need to talk!” “You’re concerned about the volcano. I can read it on your face.” He hated the fact that she could read his mind before he even entered the room. She did it to continue to try and convince him that her superstitious beliefs and powers were real. He could not explain many of the things she is capable of doing, but he was still not going to buy into it. “Of course I am. You told me that we had more time before the volcano erupted.” “The Furious is restless. If I do not release him from his prison soon, he will cause the volcano to erupt. I’ve warned you that you cannot delay any longer. The chief and his son need to be sacrificed, and the invasion of Berk must begin.” Alvin grumbled something underneath his breath. He had hoped to use Hiccup the Horrendous to lure Stormfly back to the village. He wanted to kill that cursed dragon for betraying him and taking the leg of his friend, Viggor. She refused to help him convince every dragon they met to join his cause. She defied him and ran away. He had hoped to make her pay by feeding her to his two pet Timberjacks, the very same dragons that he used to attack Burk, and lure Hiccup and his friends to the island. Now, that hope was all but gone. Perhaps after his conquest of Berk and the Roman Empire, he could return here and seek out the dragon. With his army of dragons, the task should be much easier. “Very well, the Vikings of Berk are out searching for the Mood Dragon, but they have left the Night Fury here, due to his fear of the volcano. I will have my men trap the Night Fury, but I want you to keep an eye out on the Berk Vikings. If they find the dragon, then I’ll kill the dragon along with them.” “And what if they meet my sister? By now, she knows that this would be her last chance to make contact with the boy.” “And that’s why I want you to keep an eye out. If she makes her move, report to me.”While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
