in between

What happened when Hiccup fell into the fire? How exactly did he lose his leg? And what about getting him home? These are my ideas. All speculation, but I like these ideas.

1. falling

I couldn't think, I didn't have time too.

The enormous dragon was engulfed in flame and we were right in the middle of it. I joggled the stirrup and the tail flap I had made came off with an snap. I watched it fall away for a second, I turned around only to have the giant tail of the dragon fill my view.

"No. NO!"

I was thrown from Toothless' back and plummeted down towards the flames. I saw Toothless struggle to right himself. As darkness filled my vision I heard him cry out, and saw him dive after me.

Heat, so much heat. It filled my head and made me dizzy, I slowly became aware that my right leg was on fire. It hurt so much, I wanted to scream but my throat was to dry, I wondered if I would ever see Astrid again or Gobber or...my Dad.

"I love you Dad."

Just before I lost conciousness, I felt a shadow engulf me and felt four strong paws wrap around me, extinguishing the flame and protecting me. Finally I fell into the deep dark hole of unconsciousness.
