"Well, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, that's a mighty long name for someone so small. How about we just keep with Hiccup? Hmm?"

" Yeah, that should be fine." Hiccup replied casually, starting to get over his fright.

"Do you know what the Bashers law is for trespassers, Hiccup?" Yunre said slowly, as if pondering each word he said before continuing to the next. "Death".

"At dawn you will die, the only thing left to decide is how you will die." He said, as a smile starting to curl across his lips, but his excess skin soon covered it. "Any preferences?"

"Hm, that's a hard one, how about life? Perhaps?" Hiccup said, starting to get scared again, but keeping up his talk, while he tried to think of what to do. He thought if he could run through one the tunnels he could escape Yunre, but he had bad experience with tunnels, and if he were to delve deeper down, he may never see the sky again, or Toothless.

"Not a choice, Hiccup. GET HIM!" Yunri cried, and out of the darkness came five more Beaters, each holding a black staff.

Hiccup made a run for the tunnel he came out of, but the Beaters were right behind him. He climbed the slope without missing a step, but his new plan to somehow crawl up the tunnel and hide from the beasts that were pursuing him was dashed when he remembered his arm. He could only think of one thing left to do.

"TOOTHLE!" Hiccup began to scream, but a Beater caught up to him and crashed his staff down on his shoulder, forcing Hiccup to fall to the ground, unconscious before his face touched the dirt.


"Toothle." He awoke immediately. He heard his human call for him, he heard it. It was faint, but he was sure he heard it. Looking over to the place the sound arose from, he saw the tunnel the Death's had come from. He forgot about his wound and sprang up, only to roar in utter pain as his side tightened and forced him to wreal to the ground, and whimper for it to stop.

"Hiccup." that was the only thing on his mind, and he couldn't reach him. He slowly got up, only to have another sudden pang of pain hit him like an arrow and he gave another roar. He had to get to Hiccup, he was down that tunnel, so he was going down that tunnel.

He began to drag himself with his paws, the pain was still there, but it had condensed so much since he first woke, he was able to perform this awkward crawl. About halfway to the tunnel he had started to go to fast and he slipped as he quickly transitioned from one paw to the other, but it was too fast for him and he fell down once more.

After choking down his pain from falling on his wound again, he raised himself up a few inches and began the crawl again. This time he went much slowly, and eventually reached the tunnels entrance. He looked down the tunnel and gave a sonar blast, which echoed down the tunnel and came back to him, telling him that the tunnel was far too long to jump, and was extraordinarily deep. He had no idea how Hiccup could have survived a fall like that, but he knew that he heard him, and he was in trouble. Hiccup needed him but he was useless to help him. He gently set himself down and tried to think of what to do.

His Hiccup was down there, lost, in pain, or worse, and he was up here, doing nothing. He could hardly stand up, but he would get down that tunnel, and save his best friend, just as soon as he could move properly and without too much pain. He had to get his body working again, so he curled up next to the deep tunnel and started licking the pain away.


"So cold, so cold," Tuffnut said, before starting to chatter his teeth again, quite loudly.

"Will you shut up already! We're all cold, and the sooner we get to Hiccup, the faster we will be back on Berk!" Astrid yelled over the howling wind.

"I think Fishlegs is dead, he's just laying there" Ruffnut stated, looking over at Fishlegs, who was indeed laying on Meatlug tightly wrapped in a big fur blanket.

Tuffnut suddenly stopped chattering his teeth and said hopefully, "Hey, if he's dead, can I have his blanket? I can't feel my hands."

Snotlout raised his head from hugging his dragon for warmth and spoke "He's not dead, he's just sleeping you idiot. Where are we going anyways, he could be anywhere, and it's snowing too hard to stay out for much longer?!"

"I don't know, he has to be out here somewhere. First island we see we are landing on, whether we find him or not, because for once you are right Snotlout, we can't stay out here." Astrid said, looking around her at the snow all around her, she could only see the faint images of her friends around her, but she couldn't see the sky or the ground due to the thick veil of snow shadowing her vision.

They had been flying for several hours, I they saw no sign of an island, only the whiteness all around them, swirling likes clouds around them. The dragons hadn't made much movement over the last two hours other than the occasional wing flap to keep them flying. Ice was starting to cover their faces, and they were slowly losing altitude.

"Whoah!" Fishleg's blanket blew off of him and he awoke to the bitter cold. "My blanket! No! I am done flying, I just lost my blanket, I'm freezing and Meatlug's cold too. How long have we been flying? Or are we flying back? What is going on!?"

Snotlout flew towards the boy and spoke up over the wind, "Breath Fishlegs, we're still on this dumb mission to find Hiccup, and we haven't found anything yet, because he's already back to Berk, like I said hours ago!"

"Take a smart pill Snotlout, you really think Hiccup and Toothless will be able to get back to Berk with a sabotaged saddle in a snowstorm? Oh, and let's not forget who sabotaged his saddle. You!"

"Hey, how about we all remember that it was a simple mistake on my part, I tried to sabotage his saddle to rig the race that we were supposed to have yesterday morning, but he wimped out and instead went on some stupid camping trip. In my eyes, it's really his fault that he's flying with a sabotaged saddle in a storm!" Snotlout explained.

"Wow, Snotlout, you never cease to amaze me in your stupidity. Stop talking before you hurt yourself."

Stormfly gave a long moan to her rider, clearly stating that she was too tired to go on. "It's okay girl, we'll stop soon and you can rest" Astrid whispered into Stormfly's ear. She answered with another low groan and continued flying. "Look! Down there! Are those trees?" Astrid pointed down to their left, seeing tall white tree-like posts sticking up from the ground.

"I don't care what they are, I'm landing whether you like it or not, my face is freezing!" Snotlout yelled, before he and his dragon dove down towards the extruding whiteness from the ocean.

"I agree with Snotlout, let's go!", Fishlegs agreed, dropping down towards the possible island.

"Well let's go, since half our team already made up their minds, I am surprised you guys waited for me, since you usually are the first to go gallivanting off without checking with anyone whenever you see something interesting, I think it is possible you are actually starting to mature." Astrid said to the twins, only to see them flying ahead of Snotlout going down to the suspected trees.

"Or maybe not." She said, before dive bombing towards her careless team.


Here's another one out, hope you all enjoyed it!
