CHAPTER 4: A Night of change

NORMAL POV

The three of them actually told the story at the mead hall instead of the Chief's house to have something to talk about because it was pretty getting boring and the sun hadn't set yet, so the three of them just talked about it already to have some conversation going. Some people listened to the story and others continued to party, others singing loudly while dancing drunk, and some were flirting with women at the hall leading into…well you know that thing when you…..well that!, you get my point.

"What kind of people are they!" were the words that come out of Redwood's mouth. "How could they!" were Finna's words when they got to the part where they were getting banished, she was not angry about them getting banished….. Well not exactly, but she was angry about the names that the Berkians called her daughter when she stood up for Hiccup. They were talking at the hall for two hours now and when the three of them finished their story, people started throwing their comments, but all the comments sided with them, throwing curses at berk about how they treated Hiccup at such manner, and how they teens at berk treated Heather and Scunner just because they were friends with Hiccup. "You're cousin's a real jerk!" ….. "They should all burn in Helheim!" ….. "They should be punished by the gods for treating a person like that!" were the remarks of the people that were listening and many more.

"Well I couldn't really blame them because I know that for three hundred years the Vikings and the dragons have been mortal enemies… and berk experienced a lot of raids that caused us many deaths and casualties….And changing that would be really difficult and knowing that a scrawny boy like me will change something like that! My chances are like… one out of nine in convincing them!" Hiccup said to them with a mournful face and a disappointed look at himself.

"Don't treat yourself like that, my boy" Redwood retorted at Hiccup in a smile to lift his self-esteem up. "You're in Warwhale lands now and I promise you that no one's going to treat you like that anymore as thanks for being a good friend to my daughter and you've made the right choice in leaving that place…. Their treatment to you was unforgivable and unacceptable in any other village or tribe… I mean even if you were that much of a screw up, no offense but they couldn't they just understand that you were just trying to help" Redwood added to reassure the boy even more. "And we'll gladly let that dragon training a try! Right my dear?" Finna said to her husband and nodded in agreement "and you are welcome to stay here if you want" Finna said to the boys with now shocked faces because they still couldn't believe that what they heard that they're about to give the dragon training a try saying "we gladly accept you're offer mam" they said in unison. That's when Redwood gave the boys the forge that's located at the west side of the island to live. They just have to go through the forest; it will take twenty minutes to get there from the village to the forge by walking distance.

The people of warwhale tribe that were listening still couldn't believe at how the people at berk treated the poor boy. They showed him disrespect even if he's the Chief's son. The boy was shunned and teased in every mistake he did instead of helping him learn from it, even his own father didn't stood up for him. He was disappointed at his own son for being a weak and scrawny child and for being good only at screwing things up. He's so called 'friends' if that's the term that should be used didn't like him at all. They treated him like a slave and they even called him 'talking fishbone' for Thor's sake. Sure that girl, Astrid didn't talk to him or make fun of him but she sometimes go in with the flow just to blend in with the crowd and never cared about a damn thing if it was happening in front of her, she just minded her own business.

HICCUP'S POV

"Let's never talk about this anymore and move on" I said with determination in my voice to forget everything about them and move on from it, this caused the people around us to disperse knowing that was the end of that conversation and get back to partying with the others, Finna and Heather already got up and said "we will be heading early for bed, see you there later, and try not to drink too much mead dear, I hate it when you make the house stench of mead" Finna said to the man that was laughing before saying "yes darling". Heather turned to us "It's been a wonderful day today and I'm beat so I'm going to head to bed early, I'm going to sleep at my parent's house tonight so see you tomorrow guys and let's hope for a good start tomorrow here at our new home" Heather said to me and Scunner before putting her hand in front of us and continuing "Friends forever?" we put our hand on the middle too before saying "Yeah, Friends forever!" before engulfing ourselves in a group hug. Then Finna called Heather "Come on Heather lets go home, you and me have a lot of catching up to do" Heather nodded to her mother before going with her she turned while running to her mother and waved her hand to us and saying, "see you guys tomorrow!" We nodded in agreement before she walked out of the hall with her mother.

We took our seat back at the table in front of Redwood; I started a conversation to break the awkwardness in our table," Oh I remembered, what about this dragon problem you have?" I asked Redwood. His face turned to serious one now, intrigued about the dragon that's been disturbing his village. "Ah yes, this dragon had never harmed any of the families it sees, It also keeps eating our livestock and breaking in our food refuges, and it has caused a lot of casualties when we tried capturing it but there were no deaths reported, we were close at capturing it but it escaped by digging its way underground, the dragon sounds familiar right?" Redwood stated at us "Sounds like you have a whispering death problem" I said to Redwood. "Because whispering deaths are the only dragon that hunts from underground" Scunner stated. "Aye! But there's a little problem on that matter… It's not a whispering death" Redwood declared.

"What do you mean?" asked Scunner. "Well Whispering deaths have blue scales and white eyes right?… but this one has white ivory scales, its razor sharp teeth sticking out of its mouth, its size is as large as a house, and also it's deafening roar that can make your ears explode, and not to mention of the red blood color of its eyes that can bore a hole right to your soul just by staring at it!" he replied, scaring us. "Then what kind of dragon is that?" Scunner asked at Redwood. "I have already asked other villages if they know about a giant White whispering death-like dragon but no, they do not know this dragon" Redwood declared.

I was now thinking about backing out at this one. I imagined myself standing in front of it and staring at his blood red eyes as they say. It gave me a chill running down my spine and goose bumps at my whole body. Then Redwood snapped both of us out of our trance and said "Well do you still want to do it? … I mean, I understand if you don't want to do it anymore and it's ok … I know it's very dangerous and we don't want to lose my only daughter's close friends now, do we?" Redwood said, concerned about our safety about going the rouge dragon. Then that's when I thought about the possibilities of befriending this dragon. It could help us shove away Outcasts, berserkers, pirates, and even roman ships by the help of this dragon but if this plan failed. Toothless can get us out of there in a second to avoid getting hurt with the use of his speed.

"We'll do it!" I said "And we'll start in the morning!" we declared at Redwood. He looked at both of us, still surprised that they still want to fix their problem even if they have to face a monster like that. "Now that's the spirit!" He said slamming his big hands at our backs causing us to lunge forward a bit. "We'll prepare everything you need tomorrow morning here at the hall" he said to us proudly. "I should be going home now, Finna and Heather are waiting for me at our house" he said smiling at us. "The man's exited at sleeping with his whole family, I guess" I thought before nodding to him.

Then Redwood turned his head as he heard laughter coming from our right direction. We saw children chasing Toothless playfully and then he let the children ride his back happily, "Your dragon is quite something you know" the Chief said smiling at him before heading to the doors to exit and go to his family.

"This village is also quite something" I thought to his mind smiling. They accepted the change so easily, they had also easily changed their view on dragons, and all it took was to reunite someone's long lost daughter and a once feared dragon now having fun with the kids, showing he was no threat to them. "Why do those people on ber….on that place can't see this? It could have change their life for the better" I said in my mind, it was quickly removed when the people awed in unison as the dragon act like a giant cat, lying on his back sticking his feet up making the little kids giggle and run to him to let them rub his belly. Then Toothless looked at Hiccup, he grinned at Toothless and the dragon imitated his smile, showing his gummy smile at the people and then I saw it that humans and dragons can live together in peace and harmony.

This night is probably one of the happiest nights of my life, these people have accepted me and Toothless, and this night was probably a night of moving on from a horrible past but still there only hidden in the deep within the heart. But this night was definitely a start of a change.

-and that's chapter 4. I shortened it a bit because chapter three was very damn long.
