My name is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III and this is well the story of how myself and my dragon, Toothless died and basically became the Spirit of Autumn and bringer of Autumn. I should warn you now that this is not for the faint of heart.
It was the middle of winter… well middle of winter for Berk and all was going well. We had just chased off a horde of Outsiders and had just gotten done celebrating. Astrid and I were on our way out when we saw Outcast sails breaking the horizon line. My eyes widened, 'That first attack was a decoy! Oh Thor are we dead.' I remembered myself thinking. I shot a glance to Astrid and we both ran followed by our dragons back to the mead hall. We warned my father and immediately took off toward the cove. The Academy lead the way.
Upon arriving we hovered and took in the scene, over ten Outcast ships where stationed in the cove. "Uh Astrid. Guys. I think we're in for it." I remember saying to my friends. The other members of the Academy looked grim as well.
"This is going to be fun." One of the twins said.
"Yes it is!" The other one replied leading their Zippleback into a dive. One that the rest of us followed to cover them from the volley of black arrows that were released when the Outcast noticed us.
"Ruff! Tuff! Watch it!" Astrid yelled at the twins as they barely dodged a bola.
I winced as one of the arrows struck my right shoulder as Toothless barely dodged a bola himself, "We need to get higher! We're no-"I was cut off as three more arrows hit. Two hit me in the left shoulder and one hit Toothless on a leg.
"Hiccup!" Astrid yelled flying over on Stormfly trying to lure my Night Fury higher as I attempted to break the arrow shafts off.
"I-I'm fine A-astrid." I stammered getting control over myself, "Bud you okay?" I asked Toothless who chirped at me. She shot me a worried look as Toothless and I righted ourselves and resumed the fight. Distantly I heard myself shout the words, "We fight for Berk!" I was in pain and I knew I had to get treatment and soon, but Alvin had to be dealt with.
The next few moments flew by. I spent those dodging arrows and bolas, dive-bombing ships, and hunting down Alvin. Just like he was at lying, that man was all too good at hiding. I winced in pain as the arrows dug deeper into muscles; I had to get to him before he found any of my friends, or worse, Astrid. I shook that though form my head getting a worried sound out of Toothless that I knew meant, 'Are you okay?'
I smiled slightly, I had just recently been able to speak with Toothless and understand him, something none of the others knew, yet. "I'm alright, Bub. Well kinda."
Toothless shakes his head as he rolls out of the way of more arrows letting loose a violet colored fireball at a ship with a catapult on it. Moving out of the roll, I narrow my eyes as what I think is Alvin. "Bud! Down there!" I tell my dragon leaning to the side that I had seen the Outcast leader on.
My mind is halfway on the fight around us as I try to assess my injuries as Toothless catches sight of what I had, Alvin the Treacherous and his had his eyes on Astrid. My Astrid. My eyes narrowed as Toothless let out a fierce roar and dove steeply for the Outcast leader.
