When the trail reached the capital city, hiccup was taken directly to the infirmary to be healed and on his side were his cousin snotlout and Onas, the doctors assured snotlout that Hiccup is ok and that he will be soon back on his feet and those good news relieved snotlout a little and took a heavy burden off his back, but the doctors told him that they will keep Hiccup in the infirmary to watch over him in case something happened but they assured him again that theres nothing serious.
Snotlout spend the next two days on Hiccups side waiting for him to wake and when Hiccup woke.
"Finally! You're awake, I though you would never wake up." Snotlout said and hiccup did nothing but to smile "how you're feeling?
"Relaxed!" hiccup answered in one word.
"Sure you're relaxed…you were sleeping for the past two days, and it's me who had to watch over you, I barely slept the past two days." snotlout complained and Hiccup was glad that snotlout was back to normal, no one could stand the nice snotlout.
"Really?! You were watching over me? That's nice from you snotlout, thank you!" Hiccup said and snotlout didn't figure if he was thanking him or mocking him looking to the slight smile on his face.
"NO! Sure I wouldn't watch over you, I would never do that_ but I did what I was told, plus I'm the only one who knows you so I must watch over you." snotlout replied, his face turning red and trying his best looking away from the smiling Hiccup.
"Well, back to the important stuff…" Hiccup said and tried to sit straight but a heavy hand pushed him back to bed.
"You're not completely healed, stay in bed!" snotlout said and hiccup laid back in his comfy bed.
"What now?" Hiccup asked and when snotlout heard him he thought he was joking but looking to Hiccup's face he was not.
"Seriously Hiccup! You're asking me?!" snotlout said surprised.
"And what I can do? This got out of my hands and I'm injured_ any suggestions?" hiccup asked.
"Well, I have nothing in my mind right now…maybe we can ask Onas, he's smart and knows this lands better than us, maybe he can help us." snotlout said and stood to leave and Hiccup was confused.
"Who's Onas?" Hiccup asked and snotlout turned to him.
"He's the one who saved us." snotlout said and while he was going out he turned back to Hiccup "I will be right back, stay here_ of course, you can't go anywhere, stupid snotlout!" snotlout curded himself on his way out but stopped in half way, he doesn't know where Onas lives, he turned and went back to his seat.
"What?" Hiccup asked as snotlout sat on the chair.
"I don't know where he lives_ we will wait for him until he comes, he said he will check on us later." Snotlout said and closed his eyes; he was tired from staying awake watching Hiccup.
"Snotlout! SNOTLOUT!" Hiccup called.
"What? What is it?" snotlout replied annoyed "Can't a Viking have some sleep?"
"Where is my stuff, my sword, my map?" Hiccup asked.
"And does it matter? They had to take them off you I guess."
"And how…" Hiccup couldn't finish his question because snotlout was fast asleep and snoring "Great!"
While snotlout was sleeping hiccup slowly stood and walked a few steps before feeling a pain rising up his body, he body was so weak, so fragile, two days without water can kill a human, but Thank Thor the two teens didn't.
Hiccup went back to his bed and laid there watching the weird decorate of the room, some weird figures and writing were carved on the wall and Hiccup as always got curious what those carves meant, and he couldn't fight the argue to go and check them though the pain from standing up.
"I don't think you should stand considering your condition." A man standing by the door said and Hiccup turned quickly.
"Amm…I was just checking those carves, trying to figure what they means." Hiccup answered.
"The writings are spells for the gods to protect those who are in the room…I'm Onas!" the man cleared hiccups thoughts and introduced himself.
"I guess they worked pretty well on me…so you're the one who saved us, I'm Hiccup Haddock" Hiccup introduced himself as well.
"I see snotlout is sleeping! Well he was sick worried about you." Onas said as he walked and took a cup of water and offered it to hiccup "you should drink as much to regain you body's liquids; you were so dry when we found you."
Hiccup took the cup and drank, and then he put the cup down and reclaimed his sword and belongings.
"You know you're not supposed to leave until the doctors say so." Onas stated when it looked like Hiccup was preparing to leave.
"I know, but I need to find a way to go back home, and I can't do that if I'm stuck in an infirmary room." Hiccup said and turned to snotlout and woke him, and snotlout didn't react nice about it.
"wha_? Who in the nine worlds dared to wake me up?" snotlout stood ready to fight the one who disturbed his sleeping.
"Calm down, it's me_ we are leaving." Hiccup said and snotlout calmed down immediately.
"But you're still sick, you can't leave and you're sick." Snotlout said but Hiccup insisted on going and snotlout finally agreed. They left the infirmary but before they got out Onas stopped them.
"I can help you with your problem." Onas said and Hiccup stopped, Hiccup had no clue to what they were involved into and Onas clearly knows better than him.
"You said you can help us with our problem." Hiccup stood in front of the man, Onas was a few inches shorter than Hiccup.
"Yeah, but in one condition." Onas said.
"Well, what are your conditions?" Hiccup asked and snotlout interrupted them saying.
"I'm outside if anyone needed me, and I hope you don't." snotlout said and left but the two other men didn't pay him any attention.
"Not here, let's go to somewhere public." Onas said and left and Hiccup followed him.
In that moment and when they were going out the infirmary, snotlout was waiting for them in the street, the dusty crowded street, someone hit snotlout accidently and apologized right away "sorry, I'm very sorry, it's my fault!"
From her voice snotlout recognized her as a girl, she was putting a cap on her face as their eyes met, snotlout never saw more beautiful eyes then hers, her eyes were black unlike the Vikings colorful eyes, and she quickly broke the eye connection.
"Snotlout, what happened to you?" Hiccup asked the dreamy, lost in thoughts snotlout.
"No_ I were_ and then_ I …" snotlout seemed like he saw a ghost, he couldn't speak one word right.
"Follow me please and watch your pockets and stuff because there are a lot of thieves around." Onas announced and gave them a warning, while snotlout was still not with them.
They walked down the street, Onas in the lead and behind him Hiccup dragging snotlout. When they reached a place, a public place Onas took a seat and Hiccup and snotlout did too.
"Well, now and that we are in a public place, what are the conditions you're talking about" Hiccup was the first too start.
"Damn it! My belt is gone." Snotlout shouted angry while his big fancy belt was stolen, and snotlout saw the flashes of the women who bumped into him by the infirmary.
"I told you watch your stuff." Onas said and snotlout stood and left searching for anything to keep his pants up.
"Watch out or they may take your pants next!" Onas warned snotlout and he shrugged his shoulders in ignorance, and then Onas turned to hiccup to talk about the real deal.
"Snotlout seems like a nice guy even if he was stubborn and obnoxious, but you're the smart one and you're the one I trust. Well I will tell you how exactly I will help you." Onas started and hiccup was carefully listening "there is a legend says that when Ra –Egyptian god- first created Egypt and the source of life the Nile, he created another worlds, every world deferent from another, I suppose you came from one of the worlds, and I have a way to get you back, and it's a bit dangerous and hard."
"Well, I'm used to dangerous and hard quests! What we should do and what's your condition." Hiccup said and Onas changed his position.
"I will help you through your quest in one condition, you have to take my sister with you and guarantee she's safe and living good…I can't give her a fair good life here in Egypt but you will, you're the king's son after all." Onas said and hiccup seemed to think of it.
"Well…wait? How do you know I'm the king's son?" Hiccup asked kind of surprised.
"Snotlout told me." Onas said simply.
"I should expect that before!" Hiccup said disappointed, he thought what else snotlout told him? Hiccup though for a moment and then agreed.
"Wonderful then…" And while they were talking and planning someone else joined them.
"What's up brother?" a girl with a black hair and black eyes took a seat next to the two men, and snotlout noticed she looks a bit like Onas "how is the tall man?" she asked Onas.
"A friend." Onas said and she glanced to Hiccup for a moment and then turned.
"Well, I have some good news…" Onas knew what that good news was.
"NINA! What I have told you about stealing? Now and you're adult they could prison you." Onas snapped
"No they won't, they would never catch me because I was taught by the best, it's you, and look what I got today from the infirmary." She put a something on the table and after Hiccup took a look at it.
"Wait, that's snotlout belt!" Hiccup said as he recognized the fancy belt as snotlout's.
"No, it used to be snotlout's_ now it's my sister's." so she was his sister hiccup thought, now he have to rethink on the condition after it turned that his sister is a thief.
"Can you give it back…?" Hiccup said as he reached his hand for the belt, Nina quickly took it off the table and hid it, and in that moment snotlout decided to join the group.
"If I get my hands on who stole my belt, Thor won't be able to save him from the terrible thing is gonna happen to him." Snotlout said angry while his eyes fell on Nina, he met her before but now she wasn't putting a cab on her face, 'she's hot' snotlout thought, but yet her eyes were very familiar. He flexed his muscles and winked to her, typical snotlout! Put the next thing snotlout fell was pain; Onas kicked him in his leg a very strong kick.
"That's my sister!" Onas said sharply like a whisper shooting snotlout threatening glares.
"That hurts!" that was all snotlout managed to say.
Onas wanted to talk to hiccup alone so he ordered his sister to go back to their place and snotlout was easy to get rid of, all he had to say was that there is a backstreet fights and told him that there's a huge audience 'women' and snotlout was on his feet.
"And another thing, consider Nina as your sister when you go, treat her like your sister, protect her and take care of her_" Hiccup nodded "_ and keep her away from snotlout." Onas said.
"Don't worry, she's in good hands." Hiccup assured him.
"I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about snotlout, and you don't know her very well."
"Ok, can you tell me how we will go back home?" Hiccup asked.
"Well, we will go through the desert again, to the valley of kings and if we succeeded in that part, may the gods help us survive the other parts."
...
Excuse me if this chapter wasn't good enough, the thing is that I'm not as inspired as the first time the idea came to me, I have a great idea for the next chapters but I find it hard to right them down.
-Well the story told by a man in the previous chapter was some kind spoilers to the next chapters of the story- basically they will go through what that man from the previous went through and a little more and that's only the first part.
Please review, it will make me happy and give me a reason to continue the story.
