Fourth Wing - the prelude to the empyrean Series

I‘m finish with Fourth Wing and OMG is this book Worth the Hype. The ending for the first book was way to good. I nearly cried at same time I was in Awe. Holy Shit is This Book Well written was the only thing I thought. I can’t wait to Start with Iron Flame.

I just have a few Issues. The Releationship between Violet and Xaden is to much in the Focus and honestly very uninteresting. Xaden himself is also not very interesting. There are moments were you think you should feel something for him, but you don’t. He’s just Rhysand and Darkling but without any of the character, he is pretty two dimensional and actually not that impressive. The tension between him and Violet is kept to a minimum, they have in my opinion just one good conversation were there is little chemistry and one good moment on the parapet but the others. They are just horny for one another, nothing else. He doesn’t try to kill her, it would be more interesting and would help the chemistry if he just try to kill her as revenge on her mom. We actually don’t know why they are attracted to each other, other than Violet saying he is so hot and that’s it. Also about Violet, everyone is saying she’s similar to Hiccup from httyd, and yeah she is but in the Tom-Way from T9R similar, I would say either. I was actually really disappointed that the Releationship between Violet and her dragon(s) and the political stuff is not the Focus of the Story. But it’s not a bad book, it’s just not the best. Don’t expect ACTOR Level of Storytelling and Action.

I can highly recommend it, for people who are new to the Fantasy Genre!

Join HC, Wolf, @audriegreywind, Ian, @taurielofmirkwood77777, and Raisorblade for another episode of The Berkcast as they take one final hopefully look back at The Nine Realms and talk about it. As always we hope you enjoy, and let us know what you think.

A new Life & the Beat of Young Hearts - Part 1 (Epilouge to the Pregnancy Troubles Chapters)

The sun was setting over the mountain peaks of New Berk, casting everything in a rich golden light. Astrid was now eight months pregnant and already quite tired from the long months of carrying her third child. With a good book that Hiccup had given her for her thirty-first birthday. It was a beautiful book in a beautiful leather strap with the Deadly Nadder's mark on the cover and filled with everything that reminded Astrid of her wild teenage years on Dragon's Edge up to the time when Zephyr was born. She traced over a heart of cobbled-together onyx and sapphire scales of Stormfly and Toothless that framed a drawing of her engagement necklace and above it was a small note:

Entry 23

Today is the day I can finally give Astrid her engagement gift, I hope she likes it. It's hard to believe that I asked for her to marry me two weeks ago and she actually said YES.

She smiled to herself and thought back to the many adventures she had spent out there with the love of her life and their mutual friends. She felt the baby moving in her stomach. She gently stroked her round belly and felt the little human inside her stirring. “Well, what do you say, my darling, are you as hungry as I am?” She felt a gentle kick against the skin of her stomach and she smiled. “I’ll take that as a yes.” She clumsily pushed herself up from the sofa and walked towards the kitchen. “Let’s see if we can help your daddy prepare dinner for your two siblings.” Astrid leaned against the doorframe and watched as her husband served the soup and then took care of cutting four slices of bread. Zephyr and Nuffink sat at the table, which was already set, and painted small dragon figures that they tried out for the badge from the Book of Dragons. Astrid put an arm around Hiccup's shoulders, she immediately saw a smile on his lips as she snuggled up to him. “Can I help you with something?” He stroked her back. “I have everything under control.” Astrid gave him a kiss on the cheek and tickled his beard, making him giggle while she nuzzled him a bit. “It needs some trimming again.” Hiccup smiled. “The few centimeters. But if you really want to? As long as you don't cut it off completely." "Don't worry, you look really sexy with that beard. I just don't want it to look like a possum died on your face." Hiccup could only grin at that. Hiccup took the soup spoon and stirred the freshly seasoned vegetable soup, giving his wife a conspiratorial sideways glance. Astrid walked over to the table and picked up the soup bowls so Hiccup could fill them with the freshly made soup. As she put the soup down, she stroked Hiccup's soft fabric of his tunic and listened to the beating of his strong heart beneath her fingers. Their eyes collided. "I hope everything will be okay," Hiccup whispered to her, his hand resting on her stomach. Astrid sighed: “I hope so too. I'm so tired already." "I know you're tired, Honey. Just hold on for another week, then the baby should come according to your mother." Astrid nodded and she and Hiccup sat down on the table where their children were already waiting impatiently so that they could finally eat. After dinner, the family decided to sit outside for a while every evening and enjoy the beauty of the warm summer night. But thousands of stars glittered above them in the deep black of the night like glistening salt crystals in mines. Zephyr jumped up and down excitedly as a shooting star flashed through the night. “Look Nuff, now we can make a wish for a shooting star!” “Oh, I wish for a shield for the next Snoggeltog,” gasped the little boy. “And what do you want?” Astrid asked curiously and nudged her husband on his biceps. "I'm not allowed to say birthday wish rule." Astrid rolled her eyes with a smile and leaned back. “How long have we been married now? And you don't tell your wife, who you've lusted after since we were little children, what you want." Hiccup laughed and stroked her thigh. “You know I’ll tell you everything. But...if I say it out loud, it usually doesn't come true." "Sure," Astrid said, watching carefully as Hiccup proudly smoothed his beard and looked at her with that conspiratorial look again. “But what if I want my beautiful wife to dance with me now?” He was immediately on his feet and held out his hand to her, of course Astrid couldn’t say no and let him pull her into his arms . "Hiccup, I'm not sure if dancing is right, I feel like a whale." He leaned closer to her, hugging her waist protectively. "And whales can sing beautifully." "Hiccup, darling, I can't sing," she corrected him with raised eyebrows. “Then you’re much more like a killer whale. Strong, intelligent, social and an unpredictable warrior of the ocean." Astrid laughed: "Fishlegs' new hobby of finding out everything about sea mammals must have rubbed off on you a bit." Hiccup sighed. "I'm just glad Snotlout has to listen to most of it now that they're married."

The contiontion to the First Hiccstrid married Couple Story i did.

The freshly fallen snow shimmers silvery in the light of the full moon on New Berk. Zephyr and Nuffink take advantage of this opportunity to have a snowball fight. The two children scream happily in their wild chase around their parents' house. Hiccup was throwing some logs into the fire when his wife stepped out the door, a white fur coat wrapped around her shoulders. In her hands she held a tray with sandwiches and a single salad plate filled mainly with cucumbers. His eyes slid over her beautiful appearance, the long blonde hair that fell in soft waves over her shoulders like a golden veil. Her unfathomable ocean blue eyes glowing in the glow of the flames. Right down to the little bulge in her stomach where a little baby was growing inside her. Smiling, he stood up and took the tray from his wife's hands. “May I?” Astrid rolled her eyes with a smile. "Hiccup, I'm not seriously ill, I‘m just pregnant." In response, he just gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before placing the tray on a small wooden table in front of the fireplace. “I know, Astrid. But still."The two sat down by the fire and then watched their children playing happily in the snow. "Ready to tell them the news?" Astrid nodded, then called out, "Zephyr! Nuffink! Please, both of you, come here!” The siblings immediately came running and quickly climbed onto the bench next to their parents, where they immediately cuddled up to the two of them. Astrid lovingly ran her fingers through her little daughter's hair, and Zephyr giggled under the touch of her mother's gentle fingers. "We'd like to tell you something," Astrid began, giving Hiccup a quick smile as he sat Nuffink on his lap. “And it is very important to us that you listen carefully,” he continued. The two children nodded in joyful anticipation. Hiccup placed his hand on his wife's thigh and looked at her invitingly. Astrid ran her hand over her stomach. “So dear ones, you will soon have a little sibling,” she announced. Zephyr and Nuffink exchanged a quick look. Astrid bit her bottom lip, a quick glance with her husband was enough to see that he was thinking the same thing. Had her children taken it the wrong way? Did they think they would love them less now? But Hiccup and Astrid could hardly think any further when their two children happily jumped up and hugged them. “This is the best Snoggeltog present ever,” Zephyr exclaimed, wrapping her arms over her mother’s stomach. "And don't worry mommy, I'll take good care of you and the baby," Nuffink announced proudly, fiddling clumsily with his toy sword. Hiccup stroked his son's shaggy hair. “And I will take good care of you all. A Chief protects his family.”His gaze slid from his pregnant wife to his two children, who were carefully stroking their mother's stomach. At this moment he couldn't be happier. A smile appeared on his face. “Then let’s eat to celebrate the day.” Astrid and the children didn’t need to be told twice.

After dinner the children decided to build a Dragon out of snow. Astrid was leaning on her husband's shoulder and watching her children. Hiccup's hand slowly stroked her shoulder. Lost in thought, he watched as it started to snow again. Small white flakes trickled down in the glow of the northern lights and glittered in the glow of the colorful natural spectacle. Astrid noticed his look and stroked his chest so that his eyes fell on her again. “Is everything okay?” He sighed heavily. “No, it’s not Astrid. I'm looking forward to the baby but...I'm scared...for you and the baby." "You're afraid it'll be like when Nuffink was born?" He nodded. “I almost lost you back then. I don’t want to lose you this time.” He took both of her hands in his. "Astrid, I can't imagine a world without you." She ran her hand over his cheek. “I can’t imagine a world without you either. But I promise you, everything will be okay. You will not lose me. Never!” With these words, Hiccup wrapped his arms around his wife’s body and hugged her tightly and then gave her a kiss on her temple. “I love you, Astrid. I love you."

Pregnancy Troubles - Part 3

Astrid felt her mother wiping the sweat from her forehead. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that she had her medicine bag strapped to her waist, which contained all her medicinal herbs, ointments and potions. “Don’t worry, it’ll be okay. I'll make you a warm cherry stone pillow first, then it should get better again." Astrid nodded weakly. “There hasn't been any blood yet?” Astrid shook her head in a daze, she felt so weak, so helpless. Her glowing fingers tried to cling to her husband's shoulders, who of course immediately wrapped her in his arms to give her support. His cold hands ran over her back, she heard his soothing voice in her ear, keeping her from drifting into the darkness. It seemed like an eternity when her mother finally was finished with the cherry stone pillow. She handed it to Hiccup, who gently pressed it against her abdomen. With glowing fingertips, Astrid felt for the pillow and his hand. She felt him warm beneath her skin, looked into his worried eyes, and watched the way he gently stroked her bare thighs. Her plush calmed down with each additional breath and the darkness was just a distant echo in her mind. She sighed with relief when, after half an hour, the dizziness cleared from her field and her vision. She saw Hiccup's loving smile in front of her, his warm hand caressing her cheek. “And how are you feeling now?” “Much better,” Astrid smiled. Before she could say anything else, Hiccup wrapped her tightly in his arms and buried his face in her shoulder. She kept hearing him whispering how worried he had been the whole time, how much he loved her and that he would do anything for her, no matter the cost. Astrid's mother placed a hand on her daughter's shoulder. “The pain may come back a few times, but just take a warm bath or go to the sauna, that often helps too. The pain will probably subside completely after a few days and don't worry, the baby is probably fine, it's probably just growing a little." "Thank you, mother," Astrid smiled. Ingrid and Magnus said goodbye in front of the two of them before they went back home. Hiccup had sat down on the bed next to his wife, smiling and still stroking her thigh and she watched as his eyes wandered to the curve of her stomach. “You know, I've been thinking. I'll stay at home with you for a few more days until you're feeling well again." "Hiccup, that's sweet of you. But you don’t have to, I can do it myself.” He raised a mischievous eyebrow. "When do you think this speech ever helped when you were pregnant?" Astrid leaned against his chest. “It was again. Well, my beloved husband, then I'll be happy if you accompany me to the sauna and the bath." "It would be an honor, M'Lady," said Hiccup and kissed Astrid's cheek while his hand ran over her stomach. Astrid smiled to herself, Hiccup had always been overprotective when she was pregnant, even though it sometimes got on her nerves, she loved the way he looked after her and cared for her. Even a warrior needs help sometimes. It's never wrong to ask someone for help if you can't handle something on your own. There Will always be a Hiccup and Astrid. Always. Yes, Astrid thought with a smile and fell asleep on his shoulder with one last thought. They were always stronger together.
