Making it back to Berk the two and their dragons landed in the cove where Stoick was pacing around worried about the fact the none of the riders who were there too, had found Dagur.
Hearing a Night Fury's cry they all looked up and saw them land rushing forward to see if they were alright.
"Hiccup is everyone ok?" Stoick asked when he made it to the front.
"Out of us, only Toothless got hurt," Hiccup said stroking his dragon gently avoiding the arrow. "Not sure about Dagur, but it's Dagur so meh." he said to himself shrugging slightly earning laughs.
"Well lets get Toothless to Gothi then," Stoick said happily clapping a hand on his son's shoulder, and the other on Toothless' head to lead them out.
But Toothless wiggled away from Stoick and went over to Night Sky looking at the King and Prince with pleading eyes, letting out a whine.
"I don't think they want to be split up," Gobber said smiling.
"It's alright bud," Hiccup said coming over. "You stay with Night, let her look after you till we come back with Gothi, ok?" he asked getting a nod, he and Astrid got onto Stormfly and set off for the village elder's hut.
'Who's Gothi, Noche?' Night Sky asked lying down next to Toothless not caring the other dragons were still there. 'Toothless,' 'When I questioned you about your story you said you had few things you lie about,' 'Oh...' 'Well Noche?' 'What was the other thing?' 'Um...' 'Don't tell us your now a Tiny One, Night Rider,' 'I am no Tiny One you overgrown Fireworm,' 'Then tell Night Sky what that other thing is,'
'She's the healer of the humans of the village,' Toothless answered trying to show no pain about his shoulder towards Night Sky.
'Huh?' Toothless asked resting his head on his paws letting her lie next to him.
'Hookfang, you shame yourself,' Meatlug said stepping in to prevent anything. 'Noche, if you don't want to say, or want us to leave so you can say it, just say so.' she said smiling.
Thinking for a bit, but thinking the other dragons knew because of the show he did with Snotlout, Toothless took a deep breath and turned to Night Sky. 'The other thing... that I wouldn't lie about Night Sky,'
Slowly with the help of her cane, Gothi walked up to Toothless and Night Sky, bowing to them both as a sign of respect before she moved any further.
Sensing no danger, Night Sky calmly backed away so this woman had room to work on Toothless, as he got back to lying down so Gothi could reach the spot in question.
But then Night Sky was struck with wonderment, when the woman began to speak Dragonese to Toothless, without moving her lips, as if she was speaking through her mind - something only dragons could do...
'You're going to be fine oh Prince of the Night,' she said studying the arrow setting down her cane after signaling to Hiccup to be ready with the gauze to press it up to the wound to stop the blood from coming out. 'Not really Healer,' 'It will be fine my Price,' 'Ok,'
'Now this may hurt for just a second or two, ready?'
'Ok, I'll pull it out on Three,' she said'One... Two...' she actually pulled it out here and Hiccup quickly but gently pressed the gauze up to the wound. 'Three. You can look now Prince.'Toothless opened his eyes that he didn't know he had closed and saw Gothi holding a blooded arrow using her cane to help her stand, as she stood in front of him smiling.
Giving the arrow to Astrid, who went to throw it on the fire, Gothi went to her box of herbs and began to mix something up for the wound so it would heal a bit faster than it would if she didn't.While she as doing that, Night Sky came back over and looked to Toothless questions going through her head. Unsure what one to ask first, she went with the most confusing to get it out of the way. 'How can she speak to and or understand us Noche?' 'I can speak and understand you dear Night Rider,'
'Ok so second question,' she said looking to Toothless cocking her head a bit 'Why did she keep calling you Prince of the Night?'Sighing Toothless looked to the skies above them at the stars remembering. 'Because before I ran away after I embarrassed my family in front of my herd when I was a hatchling who failed his flying test,' 'Why didn't you say?' 'I guess,' 'I wouldn't do that Noche,' 'Ugh gag, get a cave you two,'
"Any reason why your dragon just shot at Hoofang, Astrid?" Snotlout asked holding a bit of chicken over the fire to warm it up.
"Probably made fun of or insulted Toothless and Night Sky or something," Hiccup said smirking patting Stormfly thankfully.
"So getting back to where we were this afternoon Hiccup," Stoick said ripping a chunk off his own piece of chicken. "Where's she going to be staying?" he asked nodding over to the two Night Fury's curled up together drifting off to sleep.
"Well she's definitely staying here that's for sure," Hiccup said quietly smiling that his best friend had finally found someone to love who isn't him. "But I don't know. It depends I guess on how everyone back home will react to another Night Fury living there."
Deciding that they should let the sleeping dragons be, everyone set off back to the village Hiccup choosing to walk Gothi home when they landed in the village.
When they reached her hut Hiccup was about to leave after he said goodbye, when she stopped him with her cane resting on his shoulder, and told him to follow her inside.
Inside Gothi's home was like walking back into the forest, all kinds of plants with healing properties were growing in pots everywhere and there were wooden carvings of dragons and other animals on the mantel piece.
Telling Hiccup to wait there, Gothi went to the next room, and came back with a very old book with her crest on it.
'How to speak Dragonese' the title said.
Confused Hiccup asked why she was giving him this so using sand pictures she told him her story, and that she believes that he should be in on the secret language of the great beasts that fill their skies.
"Does it take a while to learn?" he asked looking at the book again at how old it was.
At that Gothi shook her head smiling up at the heir of Berk.
Thanking her Hiccup let himself out and set off for home stopping just outside his door to look at the stars trying to find a certain constellation smirking as he found it, one of the stars seeming to shine brighter than the rest, flickering slightly as if it were winking at him.
