To Belong

To Belong

She was the weird foreign girl, he was the most useless Viking in the history of Berk. Together they were just Leandra and Hiccup. Two best friends who searched for their place in the world. Would their search for it unite or separate them?

I know I said I would write Gift of the Night Furries first but while I was writing I noted that it would be better to not include it. So this will be the last chapter of the FanFic.

I hope you can respect my decision.

Please enjoy the last chapter and read the author’s note at the end.

Chapter 7

Leandra wakes up from the now familiar wails of her little brother. Starchaser, who sleeps beside her bed, whines and holds her ear plates down to block the sound.

With a yawn and a pat to her dragon, Leandra walks to Ulf’s room. The little baby is crying in his crib, waving his little fists around, and being generally unhappy.

“Morning Ulfi.”, coo Leandra at him, carefully picking him up. “Someone woke up with the wrong feet, eh?”

That’s when she smells it.

Wrinkling her nose, she holds him away.

“Or should I say, you woke up because you have gone number two.”

As an answer, Ulf just wails more.

Well, time to change his diaper.

The black-haired girl is nearly done when Sigrùn comes into the room. Her red hair is a chaotic mess and she has black rings under her eyes.

“Leandra, you don’t have to do this every day.”, yawns her stepmother.

“I like to help.”, she replies simply and rocks the now happy Ulf in her arms.

“Still, I thought you would prefer to go flying with Starchaser or spend your time with Hiccup since he woke up a few days ago.”, wonders Sigrùn, scratching her head.

Hearing the name of her best friend aka. impossible love Leandra makes a face hands the babbling Ulf to Sigrùn and walks past them into her room.

“He is perfectly fine on his own. He doesn’t need me.”, she mumbles. “Besides it better to go distant already before I leave this miserable rock.”

“What was that?”

“I said, I can’t wait for breakfast, I will fly a short round with Starchaser.”

“Oh, all right, sweetheart.”

Leandra rolls her eyes.

So now she is sweetheart. Since she came back from the Battle of the Red Death Sigrùn toned up being a mom to her.

It was pathetic.

Now, after she killed a giant dragon and became an honorary Viking, she gets called pet names.

Stupid bitch.

In the end, she did take Starchaser to an early morning flight and came back for breakfast.

Leandra eats her oatmeal with zero joy, watching how her parents flatter around Ulf, her, and even Starchaser.

God, she wants to barf.

It’s like they are a little perfect family.

Starchaser gets pats and extra treats, Ulf gets babied and she gets praised for being such a good dragon rider and being Gothi’s apprentice.

Before they made peace with the dragons and Ulf was born, she had to endure how her parents encourage her to be more Viking-like to fit in.

Now she could be herself.

Again, she wants to barf.

 A bunch of hypocrites they are.

She eats her last bite of oatmeal and stands up.

“I need to get to Gothi.”, she informs them.

Her papi waves her over and gives her a kiss on the forehead.

“Good work day, mi amor.”

“Gracias papi.”

Sigrùn with Ulf in her arms joins them and gives her actually a kiss on the head.

What the heck?!

“Have fun, pumpkin.”

Oh, now she is also pumpkin?

The black-haired girl feels formally how she is getting angry.

What is this we-are-a-happy-family-play her parents have going on?!

To distract herself she kisses Ulf’s tiny forehead and calls for Starchaser.

She needs to get out of this house before she loses her nerves.

Harvesting the healing herbs for Gothi helps her a lot to not think about what dumb sheep her parents actually are.

She can’t comprehend how they have gone from you-need-to-be-a-Viking to supportive be-who-you-are-you-are-perfect.

It’s just like Hiccup with his dad and the whole village.

Not that she talked much to him this past day, but she has eyes.

And she sees how everybody treats him like a hero and how proud his dad is now, when not even a month ago he was shunned and his dad was ashamed of him.

But other than her, Hiccup seems to enjoy the transformation and not question it.

Leandra signs and looks at Starchaser. Her dragon is playing with the butterflies in the field they are.

Absolutely adorable.

“You cutie.”, she cooed at her.

“Hey Lee!”, calls then Hiccup for her and Leandra has to force herself not to twitch at this.

With the fakest smile, she turns to him and yep Astrid and the whole gang and their dragons are with him.

Starchaser is the only one happy to see them since Toothless is there too. The two Night Furries purr and lick each other.

Must be nice to love and to be loved in return.

Is she jealous of her dragon?

Yes, she is.

“Hello Hiccup.”, she greets him and waves with fake friendliness at the other Viking teens. “Hello, guys. What brings you here?”

“We are doing a trick competition with our dragons. We wanted to see if you want to join.”, it’s actually Astrid who tells her this.

And she even smiles at her friendly.

Astrid was never friendly with her or even smiled at her.

It is creepy!

Even more, as the other teens join in to make her come with them.

They never cared for her and now they are best friends?

Maybe Hiccup can do it, but she still remembers how it had hurt to be outcasted and mocked by them.

“Sorry can’t. I still have to work with Gothi. Take Starchaser with you, she can show you alone some tricks.”

All look with disappointment at her.

Yep, so creepy.

“Ah, then maybe next time, I can show you my super cool trick 'Andra.”, say’s Snotloud with a wink.

Leandra gets goosebumps all over her body and feels the vomit coming up. Did Snotloud Jorgenson actually flirt with her and gave her a nickname?

She wants to die!

And take a long shower!

Not necessarily in that order, but still!

None of the boys ever flirt with her since she didn’t look like a Viking girl, yet being a dragon rider makes her suddenly pretty in their eyes?!

“Yeah, maybe, but I need to help Gothi more these days. Winter is coming soon and most of the healing herbs will not grow in this time.”, she explains and hopes this is the end of it.

Thankful it is and Hiccup and his Something-Girlfriend and his new best friends leave her alone.

Starchaser looks at her in a way that says are you sure I can go.

She nods at her dragon and gives her a tiny pet.

How long they are going to stay on Berk is still a mystery, Starchaser should enjoy the time she still has with Toothless.

And that’s how practically the next few weeks in her life are.

Leandra feels like she is in a bad play.

It is all so fake, wrong and anormal for her.

Not that she wants that Vikings and dragons are enemies again, but that world had made more sense to her.

Suddenly being loved and cherished by everyone makes her freak out internally.

Hiccup is the only one that enjoys it from what she sees.

She doesn’t get how he didn’t feel the same way she does.

Berk and his inhabitants have treated them like trash for years, but now after killing a giant dragon, making peace with the dragons, and being the first riders they are in the eyes of the population like the second coming of Christ.

She hopes god forgives her for this example, she couldn’t find a better one.

Currently, Leandra is leaning on Starchaser on the floor of the main room in their house, playing with Ulf in her arms, while her parents sit beside each other on the couch. Her father reads a book and Sigrùn is knitting a new blanket for the winter.

It is all so…domestic and peaceful.

So, so, weird.

The black-haired girl was starting to ask herself if somehow she died in the Battle of the Red Death and is now in this weird version of heaven where all was okey-dokey, without talking about the problems they had.

They just…moved on with their life.

Maybe she had finally reached her breaking point because she hears herself say: “So we don’t talk about that you guys practically wanted a Viking girl for years and after I helped to kill the Red Death I’m fine the way I am?”

Her parents stop what they are doing and look at her surprised. Even Starchaser gets tense.

She feels how her Night Furry practically wants to tell her that this isn’t a good idea, but Leandra can’t take it anymore.

“What do you mean by that sweetheart?”, ask Sigrùn blinking.

“This right there!”, Leandra gestures with Ulf’s rattle at her stepmother, while her brother tries to grip his toy. “You never used pet names for me, I was always Leandra and now I killed a giant-ass dragon and suddenly I’m sweetheart, pumpkin, and sweetie pie.”

That had been a shock when sweetie pie was used for the first time. Leandra had screamed a whole hour into her pillow.

“Leandra, langue!”

“My langue is the last problem this family has father. What’s up with you guys suddenly? I was never your perfect Viking child and now you are happy that I’m a Spanish dragon rider. You wanted for years that I forget my heritage!”, she accused them, waving the rattle wildly around.

Ulf frowns and tries to grab it.

Starchaser grumbles.

And her parents look with big eyes at her.

“We never wanted you to forget who you are, mi amor.”, says her father. “We just wanted you to fit in with the kids in your age group.”

Sigrùn nods.

“You know how Hiccup was shunned for being himself, we didn’t want that for you. We know now that we needed your and Hiccup’s way to change things for the better.”

“That’s it, that’s your excuse?”, scoffs Leandra. “How you guys any idea what this did to me? I felt I was not good enough for you, that I was wrong!”

“Mi amor!”

“Sweetheart!”

“Don’t call me by pet names, you don’t deserve that!”, Leandra screams and stands up.

Ulf looks at his big sister confused, while Starchaser croons at her human.

Her father stands up also and makes with his hand a calm down moment.

“Leandra, we never wanted to make you feel this way. We just thought we should help you to fit in on Berk.”

“We are sorry.”, adds Sigrùn. “It was the wrong way, we should have been more open-minded.”

“Indeed, you should have.”, agrees Leandra. “But why didn’t you talk with me after all that happened? I deserved an apology way earlier.”

There her parents twitch together.

“…You didn’t speak of it, so we thought it was all right?”

“REALLY, FATHER, REALLY!”, she shouts so loud and in turn, Ulf wails. “Oh, Ulfi sorry!”

Leandra tries to calm her brother down.

“Maybe we should talk about this when Ulf isn’t here. We will make him just upset.”, declares Sigrùn.

“Oh no, we talk about this now!”

“Leandra, your brother is crying and isn’t stopping, we need all to calm down.”

“So that you two don’t have to confront me, father?! I think not!”

“Listen, young lady-“

“Oh shut up Sigrùn, now you want to be a real mom! You are ten years too late.”

“Leandra Mirabel Alvarez, watch you tone!”

“Or what? I know what, I shit on this family, I shit on you two, I only care for Ulf and I will go back to Spain!”

After that declaration, only Ulf’s cries were heard.

Leandra tried to calm her brother down, rocking him back and forth, while Starchaser nosed and purred at the baby.

Gustavo and Sigrùn have turnend into stone. Did they hear right?

“You want to-“

“I’m going back to Spain, I have decided.”, says Leandra calmly to them. “I never was happy on this miserable rock, I want to live with Abuela.”

“Mi amor, we sure can find a better solution.”

“No, I’m done. I’m done with you guys, I’m done with Berk, I’m done with this whole situation. Starchaser and I will go to Spain and stay there. And you better don’t stop me or I will just run away. So accept my discussion or choke on a dick.”

Leandra ignores the offended sounds of her parents and turns to go to her room, Starchaser following after her.

She closes her door and puts her chair on the doorknob, so no one can come in.

Starchaser croons at her and Ulf looks at her, catching with one of his hands a bit of her hair.

“It’s the best.”, she says to her dragon. Then kisses Ulf’s tiny forehead. “You sleep in my bed with me today Ulfi. We will not have a lot of time anymore together.”

And so the three make themselves ready for bed.

Ignoring the pleads from behind the door, till they stop.

Maybe Gustavo and Sigrùn have finally given up since Leandra won’t.

“After Christmas.”, she mumbles to Starchaser to not wake up Ulf. “Or Snoggletog how they call it here. That’s the best time to fly to Spain. The winter storms calm down.”

Starchaser just croons at her girl.

Oh, how she would miss her mate…but Leandra was the next closest thing to a hatchling she has.

She would follow her to the ends of the world.

Still a tiny tear leaves the golden eyes of Starchaser.

Leandra closes her own eyes and tries to ignore what she saw.

This will be the best for everyone.

She is sure.

Leandra should have known that her parents wouldn’t simply accept her decision.

In the next days in the Alvarez-Jonnson household, you could hear often screaming matches between them.

Gustavo and Sigrùn tried to explain and excuse themselves, but Leandra was having non of it.

She brought up a lot of things that always rubbed her wrong.

She brought up how she nearly left Berk and they didn’t even notice.

They tried to tell her, that they thought she just couldn’t watch how Hiccup should slay the Monstrous Nightmare, and that’s why they didn’t search for her.

The black-haired girl had a tendency to disappear if she needed time to cool down from something.

What a weak excuse!

Today during their screaming match with her parents, Leandra had enough, she took Ulf and Starchaser and took a long flight with them.

Her only free day in the week and her parents had to get on her nerves with still trying to change her mind!

Angry she signs and cuddles Ulf, who is enjoying the flight. Her brother will be one day a great dragon rider, Leandra just feels it.

Starchaser grumbles at her in question.

“No Star, I’m done with all of this, father and Sigrùn can talk all they want till Christmas! We will leave after that and basta!”

“You will what?!”, shouts suddenly a voice in disbelief.

Leandra groans and turns her head.

Yup, it’s Hiccup and Toothless flying beside them.

Great, just great.

“Long time no see.”, she greets him drily. “You taking a flight alone? Where are your girlfriend and fan club?”

Hiccup splutters at her.

“A-Astrid isn’t my girlfriend and the gang isn’t my fan club!”

“Really? Could have fooled me.”

Leandra pets Starchaser’s side to make her fly faster so she doesn’t need to talk anymore with Hiccup, but her stubborn dragon stays on the side of her mate.

Again, great!

She doesn’t want to talk with Hiccup.

“Lee what’s wrong?”, asks her Hiccup desperate. “Since I woke up you are different and now you talk about how you want to leave why?”

“So you did notice.”, she scoffed and caresses Ulf’s chubby cheek. “And why are you shocked I always told you that I want to go back to my Abuela.”

“But-But why still? Now all is good on Berk and-“

She interrupts him and stares with fire in her brown eyes into his confused green eyes: “For this reason. Everybody treats us now like we are some kind of legendary heroes and like they always liked us when not even two months ago they couldn’t care less about us. This is so fake and wrong! You may be okay with that, but I won’t forget how they made me feel. They made me feel so bad about myself.”

Tears spring in her eyes and she turns away from Hiccup.

Ulf babbles at her, while Starchaser croons and finally flaps her wings faster.

They are gone from Hiccup and Toothless sight in mere seconds.

“Lee…!”, calls Hiccup for his best friend and has to fight his own tears.

He knows her, he knows she spoke the truth…that mean Leandra will leave Berk forever?

Toothless crooks at him sadly.

“Buddy we can’t let them.”, he tells his dragon, yet Toothless shakes his head. “What? You will let Starchaser go? But you are mates!”

The dragon nods and wishes he could tell his human that while he loves Starchaser, he knows that she can’t be separated from Leandra. It’s like with him and Hiccup. They are bonded in such a special way that being away from each other would hurt them.

Also, Leandra is the hatchling Starchaser always wished for and he couldn’t give her.

He won’t force his mate to decide between himself and being the mother she always wanted to be.

The brunette boy, of course, can’t hear what his dragon thoughts, but he has a feeling this runs deeper than he thinks.

Sadly he steers Toothless back to Berk.

Could he do something to change Leandra’s mind?

Or was all hope lost?

Deep down he knows the answer.

Leandra never wanted to stay on Berk. She missed Spain, the way of life there, and mostly her grandmother.

Now she had the possibility to go back home…who was he to chain her to Berk, making her more miserable?

Hiccup closes his eyes and silently cries.

He would miss her more than she would know, but he wouldn’t stand between her and her wishes.

Toothless also joins in and whines defeated.

If you truly love someone you let them go…if they are meant for you they would return…

He can only hope that this saying was true.

When Leandra, Ulf, and Starchaser return back home, no one is in the house.

Maybe her father and Sigrùn took a walk to clear their heads?

Well, better for them.

Leandra falls with Ulf in her arms in her bed tired.

What a shit day.

That’s when she sees how Starchaser is pawing at her closet and making frustrating noises.

“Star, what is it?”, she asks and puts Ulf on the bed.

Starchaser just whines and paws more at the closet.

“Okay, okay, you want me to open it or what?”

For that, she gets a nod from her dragon. Leandra raises her eyebrows and does it. Starchaser picks up her packed basket.

The one she prepared when it was time to leave Berk.

“Starchaser?”

Her dragon puts the basket on the ground, points at it with her snout, then at her saddle, and then at the window.

Is she understanding right?

“You want to leave now, Star?”, wants Leandra to know for sure.

Starchaser nods. She feels in her heart that her human hatchling has enough. Why should they wait any longer?

After a long time, a real smile forms on Leandra’s lips. She gives Starchaser a kiss on the head.

“Thank you.”

Faster than lighting Leandra undresses and dresses in the travel clothes she made in secret. A simple black tunic, with black pants, her fur boots, and a grey fur coat made out of a wolf’s pelt, which had cost her a lot when she had traded for it.

She clicks the basket on Starchaser’s saddle and they are ready.

Well almost.

Leandra kneels down beside her little brother on her bed. She caresses his little face and he grabs her fingers.

“Oh Ulfi, I don’t want to leave you.”, she signs sad, tears prickling her eyes. “I don’t want to leave you with father and Sigrùn, but you are too tiny for the voyage we are about to make.”

Softly she kisses his tiny forehead.

“I love you, Ulfi, never forget that.”

With that she takes him to his crib, he would be safer there till her parents returned, and then mounts Starchaser.

Her window is open before them and the first stars are appearing in the sky.

The black-haired girl pets the side of her trusted and beloved Night Furry.

“Let’s hit the road, Starchaser!”

Starchaser lets out an agreeing growl.

Not a second later they are out of the window, flying up into the sky.

Leandra looks for the last time back to Berk before she gives her personal hell the middle finger and turns Starchaser in the direction which will bring them to Spain.

“Go, girl, go!”, she shouts happily.

And with that Leandra Alvarez and her Night Furry Starchaser embark on their journey.

The only things that are left behind are three letters.

One for Leandra’s father and Sigrùn.

One for Ulf when he is older and can read.

And one for Hiccup and Toothless.

But these letters will be found late into the night after the whole village searched for the Spanish girl and her dragon.

What is written in the letters you ask?

Well, no Gustavo, no Sigrùn, and no Hiccup would ever tell you.

Yet you could see one emotion clearly in their eyes.

Regret.

The End!

And this FF is my second to be finished!

I’m so happy. :D

15/10/23 Update I made an Epilogue

Next

Hi I just wondering what kind of stories are you writing?

Good question, I really don't know myself?

I write what I feel like

Can be the fluffiest fluff to dirty NSFW

(Even if I'm a novice in that department I wrote only two NSFW pieces right now)

The Stick of Truth

Codename: Dovahkiin Part 1!

N.K. is angry at her parents. Not only did they move again, no, but they moved into a snowy hicktown named South Park! She was sure she would hate it there, yet surprisingly she gets to participate in the epic RPG the kids play and falls for the human princess and the elf king. Who is friend, who is foe and which side should she choose?

Main Pairing: New Kid/Kenny McCormick/Kyle Broflovski

Chapter 6: Magical Music Madness with the Bard

Holding hands and giggling like school girls Princess Kenny and I return to Kupa Keep.

“Princess Kenny, N.K. there you are!”, greets us, Leo. “When Craig returned and you two didn’t come back, I got worried.”

Kenny waves his worries away, while I give his head a pat.

“Me and the Princess…explored a bit more of the town, nothing to worry about.”

My fair princess and I share a look and laugh together.

Oh, we did explore.

But not the town.

Not that we are going to tell what we actually did. Leo is too innocent to hear this.

“Oh, all right.”, signs Leo relieved. Then he frowns and points at my neck. “N.K.! You have a large bruise there! Let me heal it!”

Automatically I slap my free hand where the “bruise” is. I can’t help but turn red, while Kenny giggles even more.

“Oh don’t worry noble paladin. That isn’t a bruise.”, tells Princess Kenny smugly.

I give her an annoyed look.

“I know you sucked too hard!”, I quietly hiss at her. “Now I have a hickey. How I’m going to explain this to my parents?”

Leo stares just confused from me to Princess Kenny.

As an answer, Kenny gives me a cheek kiss.

“Don’t worry your pretty little head over it. Didn’t you tell me that you are good with make-up? You can just cover it.”

And with that, she sashes away.

I roll my eyes, but can’t help grinning.

“Hate to see her leave love to watch her go.”, I confess to Leo, who just seems more confused.

“Ooookaaayyyy, I have a feeling I don’t wanna know what you and the princess were doing.”, he admins. “Are you two together?”

I laugh and give his head again a pat.

“Oh Leo, you have still a lot to learn.”

Not that I didn’t enjoy my time alone with the Princess greatly, but already starting a relationship? Naah, I still wanna look around.

Kenny seems all right with it too.

And that’s the most important thing.

Before Leo can ask what I mean, Lord I’m-going-to-die-on-a-heart-attack-if-someone-doesn’t-murder-me-before steps out of the war tent and calls us all over to him.

“Gentlemen, thanks to the new kid, our entire army is assembled!”, Cartman proclaims. “It is my belief that the new kid deserves to rank up in level.”

“You honor me, my king.”, I say with a little bow.

“To honor his efforts, he will no longer be called "Douchebag." New Kid, I hereby dub thee - SIR Douchebag! Congratulations.”

I take it back.

“Oh come on you asshole! My name is not that complicated!”, I shout while the others clap for me in congratulation for my new rank.

Of course, Cartman ignores me.

I will get my revenge on the asshole one day. Hitting him with Dragonshout didn’t satisfy my hunger for revenge at all.

“But now it is time for us to take back that which is rightfully ours.”, he tells us. “A carrier raven has come with news that the Stick of Truth has not yet been taken to the Elven Forest. It is in the possession of... the Bard.”

Suddenly all around me, the guys freaked out.

“The Bard?!”, gasp Scott scarred.

“Oh, God! Not the Bard!”, whimpers Tweek.

Confused I turn to Leo and raise an eyebrow.

“The Bard is a level ten Drow Elf who can use magic to enchant and destroy his enemies!”, Leo explains.

I nod in understanding. No wonder the others are freaking out. This is a tough enemy.

Mmh, maybe we could use some earplugs to not get affected by his music…? Would that work?

“Are you ready to continue your training?”, turns Lord Fatliver at me, interrupting my thoughts. “Then make haste to the training grounds.”

Who wants to bet with me that I need to learn a new fart technic?

Do I hear 20 dollars? 15? 10? 25?

Naturally, it is again a fart technic, it’s called Cup-A-Spell, which I master.

Okay, I’m petty.

I should have thrown it again in Cartman’s stupid face, but he choose Scott as my sparring partner and I’m still angry that the diabetic boy called me also a douchebag and can’t see I’m a girl.

So Scott got the Cup-A-Spell thrown in his face, which makes Cartman laugh happily.

After we are done with the training our large-ass king reassembles us.

“If the carrier ravens are correct, the Bard is hiding out at the Inn of the Giggling Donkey. We must find him before he's able to take the Stick back to the Elven Forest.”

“LET US FIND THE BARD AND BRING HIM TO JUSTICE!”, yells Leo with passion.

“MAKE HASTE TO THE GIGGLING DONKEY!”, commands Cartman.

With that we all, beside Schott who will hold down the fort, run out of Kupa Keep.

We have reached the Giggling Donkey and are hiding behind some bushes before it. Like we are all spies, we coordinated look up from the bushes.

“There it is. The Inn of the Giggling Donkey.”, says Cartman anonymously.

The Giggling Donkey is located inside a blue house. I sure hope it’s the house of someone who takes part in our RPG and that my comrades didn’t just pick a random house.

I don’t think the adults would like that.

“Paladin.”, Lord Chubby turns to Leo. “Are you sure the Bard is hiding out in there?”

“That's what Twitter says.”

“CARRIER RAVEN, Butters!”

“So-sorry, that's what the carrier raven says.”

I pat Leo shoulder to calm him down and send Cartman an angry look. No need to get pissed off about such a small detail.

Cartman commands: “Craig and Token, guard the back door. Butters, Kenny, Sir Douchebag... let's go inside.”

“Goddammit, is it so complicated to say N.K.?!”

Of course, Lord Fatness ignores me.

I growl under my breath.

Princess Kenny takes my hand, stroking it to calm me down, while Leo is now the one to pat my shoulder.

I send them both thankful smiles and we follow Cartman into the Inn.

Me and Kenny still hold hands and a took Leo by the arm.

I don’t like the vibes of this Inn.

“Stay close, Sir Douchebag. The Inn of the Giggling Donkey harbors the scum of all Zaron.”, warns me Cartman.

“Don’t need to tell me twice.”, I respond, gripping tighter Kenny’s hand and making Leo walk closer to me.

The Inn practically screams shady bar, with the suspicious patrons and the whole decor. The little jazz music is the only thing nice.

We four walk up to the bar.

“A glass of Meedlewine, please.”, orders Cartman.

“No Meedlewine today, only Fairy Ale.”, tells the barkeeper.

“A pint of Fairy Ale, then.”

The barkeeper prepares Lord Stomachpounch’s order, while he asks with fake nonchalant: “So... has uh... anyone seen the Bard lately?”

Literally, a record scratches, and all the patrons give us the evil eye.

“Smooth!”, I whisper-shout at Cartman.

Princess Kenny is gripping my arm and Leo is hiding behind me, gripping my other arm. I give the Princess a quick kiss on the cheek to reassure her. Leo gets a gentle pat on the head.

It works and the two calm down.

“A cup of Fairy Ale isn't much if not accompanied by some bardic poems and songs.”, tries Cartman to save the situation.

“Sure he's here, all right. He's got a room down in the cellar.”, informs him the barkeeper.

“Ah, and I shall pay handsomely for his services.”

King Fatass finishes his drink and throws some coins at the bar.

“Sir Douchebag.”

Me, Kenny, and Leo follow after him to the door which will lead to the cellar.

“This smells like a trap.”, I tell Cartman my suspicions.

Inns normally don’t have rooms in the cellar. In the cellar, you store food and drinks. There is no place for a room to sleep.

I see how Kenny and Leo nod in agreement.

“That’s the only lead we have on the bard. Do you have a better idea, Douchebag?”, challenges me Cartman.

I sign.

“No, sadly no.”

Satisfied King Large Ass gives out his orders: “Butters, Douchebag, go down and flush him out. Princess Kenny and I will be waiting here to murder him. Remember, the Bard can use songs to enchant. Don't let him get to you.”

Princess Kenny gives me a good luck kiss on the cheek and I smile thankful at her.

“We will be back soon.”, I promise.

I take Leo’s hand, advising him: “Stay close and behind me, understood Leo?”

“Y-Yes, Sir N.K.”

“Are you fags then done been gay with each other. We have a bard to murder and a Stick to reclaim.”

For that Kenny and I give him the evil eyes.

“You are just jealous that no one would even hold your hand wearing ten cloves over it!”, I shot back.

I don’t wait for Cartman’s angry answers and lead Leo down the cellar stairs.

“You think the Bard's really down here?”, wonders Leo afraid, gripping my hand tight.

It’s really dark and spooky in the cellar.

I squeeze his hand as we make our way through the cellar.

“Oh, I think that motherfucker is just waiting for us.”

Suddenly we hear a sound and then someone who plays a lute.

Leo and I hold our hands to the ears since the sound penetrated the eardrums.

A figure with crutches steps into the little light the cellar has.

“Oh Jesus, it's the Bard!”, yells Leo scarred.

Automatically I stand before him to protect him and fix the bard with a glare. The kid is disabled, you clearly see it, but he has a dangerous aura around him.

I prepare myself for anything.

“Prepare for battle, w-w-w-weaklings!”, stutters the bard. “Elves, fall in!”

Didn’t I say it was a motherfucking trap?!

“DOUCHEBAG! IT'S A TRAP!”, yells Cartman obviously.

“I TOLD YOU SO!”, I can’t resist calling back.

“You should have never come here, h-humans.”, tells us the bard. “I am a level 10 bard, and with my lute I shall power up my elven guards with magical songs of encha - with magical songs of encha-cha - with magical songs of encha-chaaa... mag... magical songs of enchame-me-me...”

I blink rapidly at his stuttering, what the hell, while all the others wait patiently for him to finish.

“Magical songs of enchantment!”

Oh, he is done.

This means it’s time to kick some elven butt. Me and Leo face the elvens, while the bard takes the stage on a wooden box.

The bard starts to play his lute singing: “There once was a maiden from Stonebury Hollow. She didn't talk much, but boy did she swallow.”

I can’t help the snort that comes out of my mouth.

That’s a funny and good rhyme, I give him that!

“Sir N.K., we need to concreted on the battle!”, reminds me, Leo.

“Sorry, of course, you are right!”

We battle the elves and the bard sings another funny line: “I have a nice lance that she sat upon. The maiden from Stonebury who was also your mom.”

I laugh out loud, while I hit an elf with my wand.

“N.K.!”

“Sorry, Leo! But Mister Bard you are hilarious.”

“Well, t-t-thank you, m-m-my lady!”

“Erm, yeah, can you please not say this while Cartman is near us? He thinks I’m a dude.”

“Oh…o-okay.”

Even with the bard singing, which makes the elven stronger, me and Leo win.

The bard jumps down from his wooden box, grumbling: “Wow, what a butt-kicking...”

He manages to reach the cellar door to let in more elves.

“Get down there and finish them off. I will protect the S-Stick of Truth.”

With that, the bard leaves us with our new friends.

Leo and I use the environment to our advantage to take out the elves. As even Craig joins us, we finish them off pretty quickly.

Okay, Leo needs to heal Craig, since he twisted his ankle, but we three are in no time out of the cellar.

We see an elven warrior charging into the kitchen.

“For the elf king!”

“AHGHGH! Someone help!”

We hear Cartman’s pained screams.

“Come on, the Wizards in the kitchen! We gotta help him!”, tells Leo.

I make a face.

“Do we really need to…”

“N.K.!”

“All right, all right…”

I follow Leo and we take care of the elfs.

Like Princess Kenny did in the school my little bro goes down on one knee and proclaims: “Your word is the command, my lord. Shall I heal the king, my lord? Or maybe let him suffer just a little bit more?”

“I would love to.”, I sign sadly. “But heal him, time is at wasting.”

Cartman lays like a fat diva in Leo’s arms and coughs up blood.

He is such a dramatic bitch.

“His powers were too strong - the Bard. He's up in one of the rooms. They took Princess Kenny! They took her upstairs. I'm sure they're going to rape her. Don't let them rape Princess Kenny! Myehhh...”

….WHAT DID HE SAY?!

“N.K.?!”, shouts Leo surprised as he sees how fast I run out of the kitchen.

I don’t care what the bards say to the elves, I don’t care about their shitty barricades. Like I’m a raging tornado, I kick and slap anyone away, even this little elf fucker with a gasmask, who was probably a mini-boss, to reach my beloved princess.

I have to save her!

That’s the only thing on my mind!

I can hear the admiring ooh and aah of my comrades, but I don’t care as I run up the stairs and open the door where I hear Princess Kenny’s screams.

“KENNY, I’M HERE I WILL-“

I stop my screaming as I see the scene before me.

Princess Kenny is tied up…and one elf is jumping on the bed beside her up and down.

I blink.

One.

Two.

And three times.

“You fuckers had me really scarred!”, I shout angry, but glad that Kenny isn’t really raped.

I jump up to the bed, channeling my inner Cassandra from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and I Sparta kick the elf from the bed, knocking him out.

“My heroin!”, gushes the Princess. “You saved me!”

“Of course, my lady. I was so worried and scared for you.”, I admit as I free her from the bonds.

Princess Kenny doesn’t waste time and falls into my arms.

We hug each other tightly.

Then she pulls her parkor down, that her lips are free and we kiss each other softly on the lips.

Okay, it starts softly.

But I’m so full of adrenalin and so glad she is okay, that I pin her down on the bed and lick along her lips. Happily, she lets my tongue enter her mouth and our tongue wrestle with each other.

Damn!

I’m still in wonder, what I good kisser Kenny is. She makes you addicted to it.

I feel how her hands wander over my curves, but before it can escalate like it did after we saved Craig from detention, Leo enters the room.

“N.K. is the princess-! Oh, hamburgers! Sorry!”

We stop kissing and turn our heads in Leo’s direction.

Aww, it’s adorable how he has his hands over his eyes and blushes red like a tomato.

I give the Princess a quick peck, helping her up from the bed.

“It’s really not the time for that, my lady.”

“Sadly.”, she agrees.

Hand in hand we walk up to Leo.

“You can look again, Leo. Sorry, that you had to see this.”, I apologize to him.

Cutely he picks out from his hands, still blushing up a storm.

“I-It’s all right. Come the wizard king is waiting for us.”

The first thing King Assholes says to us as we join up with the others is: “Princess Kenny! How badly did they rape you?!”

“They didn’t rape her.”, I answer for my princess. “Also it’s not funny to make such jokes. Raping is one if not the worst thing that can happen to a girl. Some borders we shouldn’t cross.”

Cartman rolls his eyes.

“Damn not only a fag but you are also a feminist or what?”

“I’m bisexual you ignorant piece of shit and what if I’m?!”

Before I and this tub of lard can fight, Craig calls frustrated over: “I can't get through! The door appears to be enchanted so I can't turn the knob!”

Our fat king waddles over to the door. He tries to open it and then with his own staff knocks on the door.

“YOU CAN'T HOLD THE DOORKNOB, BARD! THAT'S CHEATING!”, he shouts.

“Yeah, I can.”, answered the bard smugly. “I have the Stick of Truth which means I control the universe, and I say holding the doorknob is okay.”

I can imagine the bard is also grinning smugly. I bit my lips to not laugh again. People who mess with Cartman are awesome in my eyes.

“UGH, can he do that??”, ask us Cartman.

Dude, didn’t you help to create this game? Why do you ask?

“He has the Stick of Truth, he can do what he wants.”, reminds Craig.

“DAMMIT! There's GOT to be another way into this room!”

Well, there is one.

Princess Kenny is pointing upwards to a trapdoor, where we can see an elf.

We nod to each other in understanding.

She uses her charm ability and like a horny horndog, the elf lets down the ladder to get down to touch Kenny’s boobs. Sadly for him, she knocks him out with her mirror.

“Good job Princess Gone Wild. Double D buddy powers.”, formally deadpans Cartman and starts to eat a pack of cheesy poops.

I just shake my head.

I don’t have words right now.

I give Kenny a kiss on the cheek, ruffle Leo’s hair, then head up the ladder.

In the attic are some elves and mice, but using the environment to my advance I finished them all off without starting a fight.

Now, how to get into the room where the bard is?

That’s when I note that some parts of the attic floor seem to be damaged already. I let the chest stored on a rickety metal shelf fall on them, which creates a hole.

Let’s hope it leads us to the bard.

I jump down.

I’m now in a boy’s bedroom and see the bard standing awkwardly with the Stick before the bed.

I just open the door to let the other in.

“You've nowhere to run, Bard!”, growls Cartman. “Give me the Stick of Truth.”

“Take it from me if you can, W-Wizard King. Step forward now, and fulfill your de- de- and fulfill your de-de-de... Step forward now and fulfill your de- Step forward now and fulfill your de-de... your de-e-e... your deee... Step forward now and fulfill your de-de... Your de... Your deeee...”

Again the bard stutters.

I purse my lips, waiting with the others that he gets it under control.

“Step forward now and fulfill your d-d-d-destiny!”

“You are no match for a Grand Wizard!”

“The Stick belongs with us! And I shall use every bardic power in my class to keep it from you!”

“Fine. You wanna throw down, brah? Kick his ass, Douchebag.”

Of course, I have to do the dirty work.

Urgh.

“Who is Douchebag?”, wonders the bard.

“It’s me!”, I raise my hand and get my wand out. “Fatass gave me the stupid nickname, please call me N.K.”

I and the bard ignore Cartman’s outrage scream and make ourselves battle ready.

Do I need to say that I won?

No?

Good.

Frowning I look down on the defeated bard. It was not fun at all hitting a disabled kid. I hope I don’t go to hell for that.

In triumph King Bouncy Stomach, even if I did all the work, takes the Stick back and raises it high above his head.

“The Stick is ours!”, he proclaims.

All cheer beside me.

Kenny sees that I’m pissed and gives me a soft cheek kiss.

Mmh, I already feel better.

With the Stick back in our hands we make haste to leave the Inn.

Back at Kupa Keep the Stick is back on the pillow and we all in celebration mood.

“Great job, men!”, praises us Cartman. That he can even do that, I’m surprised. “Douchebag, for your heroic deeds and valiant self-sacrifice at the great Battle of The Giggling Donkey, I hereby make you an official member of the Kingdom of Kupa Keep. Welcome to the KKK!”

…What a minute KKK?

Like the racists who wear these all-body white robes?

I can’t finish my thoughts, since Princess Kenny’s tackle-hugs me, which makes us sway, while the others applaud for me.

Oh well, whatever.

I laugh happily and twirl the Princess around.

If this doesn’t secure my place in this game then nothing will!

I’m ready to party with the others, sadly Mrs. Cartman opens the backdoor and calls out: “It's getting late. The Grand Wizard needs to go night-night.”

Cartman facepalms.

“Okay, Mom, thanks for pointing out bedtime for everyone.”

“It's a school night, hon. You and your little druid friends need to-“

“WE'RE NOT DRUIDS, MOM! WE'RE FUCKING WARRIORS AND WIZARDS!”

Damn son, he has really no respect for his mama.

At least Mrs. Cartman doesn’t let him get away with that this time.

She steps into the backyard.

“Oh, that's it! You're going to bed. The rest of you better get home too.”

No need to tell us twice.

So we all leave Cartman alone with his mom.

I wave goodbye at Token, Tweek, and Craig and they wave back before I turn to Leo and Kenny.

I go down on one knee and take my fair princess hand in mine.

“Blessed dreams I wish you, my princess, until tomorrow were we will see each other again.”

I kiss her hand, making her swoon.

“Till tomorrow beautiful, I will count the hours.”

As I stand up, she gives me a quick kiss on the lips and makes her way over to her home.

I grin like a lovesick fool.

“Aww, you two are cute.”, tells Leo.

I wrap my arm around his shoulders and we start to walk.

“Let’s go home, Leo.”

After returning to my new home, I took a long bath to relax from all the crazy happenings of the day.

Then my parents and I had some pizza delivered to us since my Mamma didn’t have the will or the power to cook after she and Papà unpacked all our stuff the whole day.

After dinner, my parents watched some rom-com, while I read one of my manga. I need to catch up on Demon Slayer before I continue watching the anime.

Soon it was time for bed.

I put on my P.J., a cute cat-themed one in pink, and cuddle up with my brown Teddy Bear in my bed.

Mamma opened the door to wish me good night.

“Goodnight princess. I hope you're as happy as we are. Everything is going to be better now that we're in this quiet little mountain town.”   

It’s far from quiet here, but well I had really a lot of fun today.

“Night, Mamma. Say goodnight to Papà for me.”, I yawn sleepy.

“Of course. Sweet dreams my little N.K.”

She closes the door as I close my eyes.

Aah, I earned some good night’s sleep, after all the quests I did today!

I wonder what tomorrow will bring, how the school will be.

I hope I find some friends in my grade too.

With a hopeful heart, I fall asleep.

Next
