The Night's Fury
The war had ended and dragons and Vikings had begun to live their lives side by side. Everyone owed their thanks to Hiccup, Berks most unlikely hero. He was different from the other Vikings but he had more heart than all of them put together. Stoick carried his battered unconscious son inside the house with Gobber not too far behind. A crowd of Vikings and dragons were outside the house waiting to see what was happening. When Hiccup woke up he saw his faithful dragon Toothless watching him. Hiccup smiled at his dragon and pulled back the covers to reveal the remains of his left leg, from the knee down was a metal prosthetic limb. With the assistance of Toothless, Hiccup opened the door to reveal something that he thought could never happen; Vikings and dragons living in unison.
That was over a week ago, Hiccup was still struggling to adapt to his new metal limb but Toothless was always on guard just encase he required any assistance. For the fourth time this morning Hiccup lost his balance and began to fall. Toothless immediately snapped into action and caught his rider before he hit the ground. "Thanks buddy" Hiccup patted the dragon's slick black scales at the back of his head, which caused the dragon to purr softly. "Don't worry about me okay, I'm sure I will adapt to it"
Toothless gave a small snort and helped his rider on his feet again. Toothless stared at Hiccup with big, sorrowful, green eyes feeling slightly guilty that he could save his riders leg any earlier. "Well I'll see you later" Hiccup called as he went through the door, Toothless was wondering what was going on but then remembered that Hiccup was going to meet up with Astrid at the battle arena for a practise.
Hiccup met Astrid inside the battle arena; they greeted each other and began to choose their weapons. Hiccup chose a long sword while Astrid chose her favourite double blades axe. Both of them watched each other to see who was going to attack first, however Astrid took into account Hiccups disadvantage, his leg. Even from a far distance Astrid saw that Hiccup was struggling to stand still. "Are you sure you want to do this?" She called to him. Hiccup looked up and gave her one of his usual smiles. "Yeah I'm okay" Hiccup confirmed.
Astrid still had doubt but began the fight. Astrid nearly caught Hiccups prosthetic leg a few times but Hiccup moved out the way. She had to admit he was doing quite well until she noticed his face was hinting signs of pain. "Are you okay Hiccup?" Hiccup looked up "Yeah" Hiccup replied. Astrid was concerned for Hiccup after the battle with the Red Death and Hiccup losing half of his left leg she had become a bit more protective and concerned about him.
While Astrid was thinking Hiccup began to feel slightly feverish and dizzy. His vision began to blur in and out, colours mixed and separated as his world began to spin. The stump was that remained of his left leg felt like it was one fire, the pain was excruciating. The world around him seemed to stand still as it blackened at the same time, before he knew it he it the hard floor of the arena.
Astrid saw Hiccup go down, she dropped he weapon and immediately ran to his side, she lifted the upper part of his body so his head was resting on her shoulder. "Hiccup" she called his name again and again but no reply. Finally she slid her left arm under his shoulders and her right arm under his knees, she was careful not to damage the prosthetic limb as she picked him up. Turning around she began to take Hiccup back home.
