Flying through Mud - Chapter Forty-SixThe next few days seemed to fly by without Astrid realizing. She was eager for time to pass quickly though, for she was eager to get married, and was soon regretting agreeing to Lady Camicazi’s plan.

“Where were you?” her mother demanded one day as she walked through the front entrance of their house.
“Out for a walk,” she said, removing her bonnet and shawl and setting them on their hooks.
“Well,” her mother said, bustling her into the parlor, “W
Flying through Mud - Chapter Forty-FiveComing home to Ervenshire was a strange thing for Astrid. She had not returned in the past two years, and it seemed strangely different… and yet exactly the same.Flying through Mud - Chapter Forty-Five by *fUnKyToEs
Her house seemed smaller then it had before, but perhaps that was because she had lived the Somerset’s grand estate for two years and had gotten used to its grandiose.

Her eyelids fluttered and she looked up to see Hiccup’s sleeping head, his eyes closed. He looked so peaceful.
