In the forest of Berk:

Hiccup's POV:


I followed Chief Halla towards a river, a blue glowing river.

I climbed into a tree to see her better.

She knelt down and did something with the water, I couldn't exactly see what she did.

Halla anyways had removed her gloves, she put them right next to her.

But I heard her voice singing and the water turned red.

That's when she turned around and saw me.

And I fell out of the tree.

When my back reached the ground, I had a lot of pain.

Halla looked at me.

The only thing I saw were her beautiful dark brown eyes.

"You're alright?" she asked.

"My back hurts a bit but for the rest I'm okay." I replied and smiled.

Halla smiled back at me. "You should see something."

I stood up and she took me to the river.

"You know why this river is glowing?" Halla asked.

"Not really, I only know it makes dragons glow up." I replied.

"You know what it does to us humans?" Halla asked.

"No." I replied and I looked at her. "Do you know?"

"I don't know if the Legends are true about this glowing water." Halla replied and bent down.

I did the same.

"And what if they are true?" I asked.

Halla looked at me. "Then humans get their growth spurt once they drink of it, they'll change into adults. But only children do."

"What happens to adults then?" I asked.

"You don't want to know." Halla replied and looked deep in my eyes. "They grow old and grey, on their way to die earlier."

"That's not a good thing." I said,

Halla smiled at me. "But they say that the right dosis can make a human immortal to every kind of death. That's what I want to find out."

"And what are you going to do with it once you know?" I asked.

"Then I want that no one else knows except for you and me. We can't let anyone know about it." Halla replied.

"How are you going to test it?" I asked her.

"Well, there's only one way to know..." Halla replied and looked at me with fear in her eyes. "...one of us has to drink it and the other must kill."

"WHAT!" I called out, my eyes wided.

"Calm down." Halla said and filled a mug with the glowing water.

"So, who..." I tried to ask, but Halla already started to drink. "NO!"

When the mug was empty, she dried her lips with her sleeve. "I will take the risk." she said.

"But what am I going to tell everyone if it's not true?" I asked, starting to panick.

Halla took my hand. "I said I will take that risk." she said.

While she was holding my hand, I felt a warm feeling inside me.

And it was not only her hands which were warm, my whole body warmed up somehow.

Halla drew a sharp object from her hair.

It was a big pin.

"Uhm... what are you going to do?" I asked nervously.

"You'll see." Halla replied and walked a few meters away from me.

She pointed the sharp side of the pin towards the left side of her chest and she stabbed herself.

"NOOOO!" I screamed out, but it was already to late.

Red blood left Halla's body and she fell on the ground with open eyes.

But she wasn't death at all.

The blood somehow disappeared and so did the wound in her chest.

Halla blinked her eyes and got up. "See? Said you Iwould take the risk on me!" she said.

"Yeah, but you live..." I said. "... Halla, you're absolutely briliant!"

"I am?" Halla asked.

"You are!" I replied. "The Legends about this river are true, you are briliant!"

"Well, thank you." Halla said and smiled at me. "But my friend Anna can be more briliant than me."

"Hey, don't doubt yourself." I said.


Was this better?

Has someone some inspiration for me? Otherwise I'll have to discontinue this.
