A/N: For everyone who got an alert bout this story and got excited for more fanfiction, I apologize. I've been in that situation and while I appreciated the author's efforts, I was disappointed. Anyway, I've decided to call off the Hiatus finally, since I've more or less solved my problem. I'm still having issues writing for Merida. It's really that hard for me. So I've decided to continue to focus on Hiccup, which means (1) no Merida for awhile longer, (2) an update sooner than expected :) I'm actually halfway through writing the next chapter, and getting closer to finishing it today- I'm planning on writing after I post this note.

Your reviews and follows really helped me to get back on track. I cannot thank you guys enough, and hopefully your patience will not have been for nothing. Thank you so much for your continued patient support!

Also, since he's made several appearances in Defenders of Berk by now, would anyone be interested if I added Dagur to the story? Let me know :)
