Verday here! My inspiration for this story is too strong! Seriously I have been trying to continue with my other stroies that I have put on pause, but I just find this one too funny :) Sorry but I'm not good as explaining how Hiccup works in the forge since they don't show just that in the movies or shows. I also don't know half the tools he uses : (
As the snores of the viking women sounded through out the village Ruffnut, Tuffnut, and Hiccup walked to the woods behind the chief's house. Hiccup asked them, "You are sure you saw was a Changewing right," Hiccup asked for who knows how many times since they had started.
"Yeah," Tuffnut stated, "after all it did spit acid at us. It was awesome to watch eat through the tree."
"Of course running away was too hard to do at the time," Hiccup muttered with a sigh.
"You wouldn't have," Ruffnut shot back with a wicked grin.
"I wouldn't have just sat there watching a potentially dangerous acid eat through a tree trunk," Hiccup defended. "I would have tried to train it, yes but only after I was sure I wasn't going to die!"
"Isn't that just as bad," Tuff asked looking up trying to see his forehead.
Hiccup didn't respond, but both the twins knew the answer as did Hiccup himself. "Alright," he asked as they were a good ways in. "Where did you see the Changewing?"
"Well," Tuff stated. "First it was somewhere where there was sun."
Hiccup hit the top of his head and sighed. "I mean do you know where in the woods it was," Hiccup asked again. "We want to find it so it won't endanger anyone."
Ruffnut stated, "Barf and Belch found the Changewing not us."
"Okay," Hiccup stated nodding, "that actually makes it a bit easier."
"You know we could always follow her," Tuff stated pointing further in at a girl slipping through the trees carrying a large basket of something.
"Good idea," Hiccup stated as he watched the direction she was heading.
Hiccup made his way to the same path the girl had used following her as quietly as possible for an one-legged viking with a metal leg. Ruff and Tuff didn't do the same thing as they traveled down a different path to follow her. Suddenly Hiccup met with the point of a metal sword held by the fiery heiress of the Bog Burglars. "Uh hi," Hiccup stated with a stressed grin.
Her eyes drilled into him and she hissed, "I don't take well to people following me."
"Uh I was just out on a walk," Hiccup stated knowing full well that she wouldn't for a minute into such a obvious lie.
She pushed further into his throat as a bead of blood escaped him. "Lie again and I'll remove your head from you're neck," she threaten. "Now tell me why you're here male."
Hiccup sighed seeing no way to get out of such a situation without telling her. "The twins said they saw a Changewing in the woods when they let the Zippleback to run around here," Hiccup stated. "I was worried of possible Changewing attack."
She didn't move her sword nor did she blink as she looked into his eyes. Slowly she lowered her sword and stated, "Mama doesn't attack us Bog Burglars or any hiccups."
"Excuse me Mama," Hiccup repeated.
"The Changewing," she stated. "That's her name."
"It's better than what I could come up with," Hiccup shrugged.
"Yeah I heard you named a dragon Toothless," Camicazi stated. "What kind of dragon would deserve such a ridiculous name."
"Uh ha ha yeah I called him that once and it kind of suck," Hiccup stated. "Considering I trained him in secret . . . Well enough about that I guess."
Two yells of either terror or excitement sounded through the forest. "Great twins," Hiccup murmured as he ran towards the direction the yells were coming from.
"Where are you going," Camicazi demanded as she ran after him. "Normally if you hear screams you run the other way."
"Yeah well I'm more use to running towards the screams," Hiccup stated. "In fact we run into danger before we try to run out of it."
"Are you crazy," Camicazi shouted as they neared the clearing to see two figures running in large weaving motions as a Changewing walked after them not bothering to camouflage.
"I wouldn't go that far," Hiccup stated as they stopped.
"Hiccup help," Tuff called as they ran towards Camicazi and Hiccup.
"What did you two do," Hiccup asked.
"Troll face here snuck up on the Changewing," Ruff stated pointing at her brother that was hiding behind Hiccup's legs.
"Hey it would have been fine if you didn't yell," Tuff protested at his sister that was using Camicazi as a shield.
Hiccup sighed and took his sword from his side surprising Camicazi. "What don't kill her," Camicazi shouted grabbing Hiccup's wrist.
"I'm not," Hiccup stated. "Just trust me on this, I can calm her down."
Camicazi didn't let go with eyes that was burning with mistrust. "You have to let him do his thing," Ruff stated. "Hiccup is an expert on this. Heck even Barf and Belch listen to him better than to anyone of us."
"Yeah and he also calm down both Hookfang and Snotlout," Tuff laughed.
"Fine," Camicazi growled, "but only because a girl recommended it. I don't trust you male."
"I'll take what I can get," Hiccup stated facing Mama who was closing in on them.
Hiccup flicked the device and his sword caught on fire. Camicazi jumped back in surprise by such a thing happening. Her eyes widen as she saw him slowly wave the sword over his head as if there wasn't anything to fear. Her eyes wandered to Mama who was tilting her head to follow the sword's path. Camicazi couldn't believe it. Hiccup then put his hand out and Mama nuzzled it as she had done with her own so many times. "There you are see," Hiccup spoke to Mama as if she could understand him. "There's nothing to worry about."
"How did you," Camicazi started breathlessly.
"I found that some dragons see a me manipulate fire they think that I'm a dragon and will be easier to train," Hiccup stated. "It doesn't always work though. I can't count how many times I nearly got killed instead."
Ruff and Tuff nodded along with what he said. "Wouldn't expect anything less from the Dragon Conquer," Tuffnut exclaimed.
"I'm not a conquer," Hiccup stated, "I'm a Dragon Trainer not a Dragon Conquer."
"Conquer," Camicazi repeated. "You're the infamous Dragon Conquer!"
Hiccup gave an exasperated sigh and stated, "I prefer trainer. I don't control dragons nor do I take away any of their free will."
Camicazi raised her sword at Hiccup glaring at him. Ruff and Tuff gave twin smirks as she pointed her blade at him. But neither Camicazi nor Hiccup paid either of them any mind. "I should kill you for tricking us," Camicazi stated as she pricked Hiccup's neck. "The rumors we heard say you're a Dragon Hunter!"
Hiccup didn't move nor did he speak. Camicazi looked into his eyes and saw not a single fear in his eyes as if he didn't fear her. "Why don't you say something," she shouted.
"Because you seem committed," Hiccup stated. "And what I learned from young women like you there is absolutely nothing that will convince you otherwise especially if it is the person who you plan on attacking."
Camicazi's hand shook as she held her sword. No male had called her a woman nor did they compliment her as he just had. She grounded her teeth as she looked at Hiccup. Then she let out a deep breath and lowered her sword. "I'll give you one chance," she stated. "If you betray us in anyway I will not hesitate like I just did."
"I understand," Hiccup stated, and then turned to the twins who were holding rocks in their hands. "What in the- put those down or you'll agitate Mama over here."
"Mama," Tuff in confusion. "Isn't your mom dead."
"That's the name Camicazi's brother named the Changewing," Hiccup sighed.
"Oh," the twins said in sync.
"Why did he name it that," Tuff asked.
"I don't know why don't I go ask him," Hiccup asked sarcastically.
"You can speak with spirits," Tuff asked in awe, "aw why do you get all the cool powers."
Hiccup slapped his forehead and shook his head. "I wasn't being literal," Hiccup stated.
"Literal what's that," Tuff asked.
"Literal taking words in their usual or most basic sense without metaphor or allegory," Ruff stated holding up one finger as she spoke.
All three of them looked at her as if she had a second head like her dragon. "Oh what you guys didn't know," Ruff asked.
"That's not- you know what never mind," Hiccup stated. "Lets go to where we left Barf and Belch. I think we should turn in."
"Didn't anyone offer you somewhere to sleep," Camicazi asked.
"Yeah they did," Hiccup stated. "But I rather sleep near a dragon after all I sleep under the same roof as Toothless since I lost my leg."
"YOU SLEEP NEAR A DRAGON," Camicazi shouted in Hiccup's face. "Do you understand how dangerous that is. Mother made sure never to let my brother Hunter never stay out with Mama."
"We sleep with Barf and Belch sometimes," Tuff shrugged.
"Hiccup says it builds trust between dragon and rider," Ruff finished.
Camicazi looked at them as if they were crazy. "Look you don't have to believe us," Hiccup stated. "We'll see you tomorrow, I promise."
Camicazi looked at them once more before she made her way out of the woods.
