Here you are lovelies, the next chapter like I promised :)


Hiccup ran off pretty fast after Liv patched him up, which didn't really surprise her, but she made sure he attended supper with the other teens and Gobber at one of the fire pits. She lied though, saying she had to work when Gobber asked if she would join. In reality, Liv just wanted to spend more time with Mjolnir.

With a sigh, Liv leaned back against the furred dragon, watching him eat the mutton she brought him. She felt bad about lying, but it wasn't exactly like she could tell them the truth. If only there was a way she could make them understand that not all dragons were the same. They were beautiful creatures that Liv admired. But sadly, vikings had stubbornness issues, meaning they would declare her a traitor before listening to her reasonings.

Looking back at the WindWalker, Liv let out a loud, tried sigh. This gained the dragon's attention and her turned his head towards her, his elk like ears flickering in her direction.

"I'm fine, just thinking." She assured him, pulling her knees up to her chest and wrapping her arms around her legs.

Mjolnir let out a soft coo, nudging her legs with his muzzle.

Liv let out a sigh and placed a hand on the fur of his muzzle. "I'm just worried about what the future will hold. If you and I ever get discovered." She explained, not knowing if he could even understand her.

He seemed to proved her wrong when he let out a soft growl before licking her cheek, as if to assure her that it would be alright.

The girl smiled, patting the dragon's jaw before dropping her hand. Looking up at the moon, she let out another, small sigh. "It's late. I should get back." She said as she stood, brushing the dirt off her tunic.

Mjolnir whined, earning a smile from Liv. "I will be back tomorrow." She said before giving him a small kiss on the tip of his nose. "Bye Mjolnir." She smiled before making her way down the dark path to her house.

When she got there, only tripping twice in the darkness, she immediately checked to see if Hiccup was home. Seeing he wasn't, she assumed he was still out with the other teens.

She didn't mind though. Gobber was with them and he would keep them safe.

Letting out a loud yawn, Liv stretched her arms over her head as she made her way to her bedroom, quickly getting ready and settled in bed.

The next class wasn't the next day, but the day after that. Liv managed to persuade Gobber to give Hiccup a little time to rest. She wanted to make sure his cut would get infected. As always, Gobber was easy to persuade.

Strangely, Hiccup had left early that day and came home late, soaking wet. He told Liv he just tripped and fell into the river, but the girl expected it was more than that. She also saw him leave with a big basket of fish that morning as well. But of course, he failed to explain to her.

Arriving at the ring the next morning, Liv watched as Gobber passed each of the teens a bucket of water before entering into the ring with them. Liv went around and took her usual spot on the side lines.

Without warning, Gobber opened the cage that contained the Zippleback. Instantly, green fire gas flooded the arena.

"Today is about teamwork." Gobber explained, taking a positioned against he wall. "Now a wet dragon's head can light it's fire. But Zipplebacks are extra tricky." He said. "One head breaths the gas, the other head lights it. You have to know which is which."

Liv watched, biting her lip. The teens were already separated, only having their partners next to them. Liv could hardly see anything that was going on in the arena, only a few shadows of where each person was.

She heard the twins arguing, along with Snotlout making a ridiculous comment to Astrid. It wasn't long after that did Tuffnut got grabbed by the Zippleback, being pulled into the green smoke. Fortunately though, he managed to get away, yelling out his pain as she ran to Gobber.

Only Astrid, Hiccup, and Fishlegs had buckets now. Though Astrid quickly lost hers when the dragon's tail swung to, knocking her off her feet.

"Move!" Liv shouted, sending the defenceless teens scurrying to the side of the ring.

It was up to Hiccup and Fishlegs now. Liv only hopped they could do it.

Suddenly, a single zippleback head slithered out of the smoke towards Fishlegs. The boy whimpered before quickly dumping the water bucket over the dragon's head. The beast just stared at him before parting it's jaws and letting out some smoke.

"Oh..." The boy whimpered. "Wrong head."

The dragon growled before sending out a wave of smoke at Fishlegs. Gobber shouted at him to get away, the boy quickly heeding his warnings.

The Zippleback now turned it's attention to Hiccup, the only prey left in reach. The other head revealed itself, sending out a wave of sparks.

Liv watched as Hiccup took a deep breathe and jerked his bucket up, tossing the water up. But sadly, not high enough.

"Oh come on." The boy grumbled when the saw the water simply hit the ground, not even reaching the dragon's head.

The dragon growled, spreading it's wings as it advanced on the boy.

"Hiccup!" Liv and Gobber yelled in unison.

Liv wasted no time in jumping down into the ring and running toward the boy. But what happened next stopped her right in her tracks.

The dragon suddenly backed away, letting out a whimper as Hiccup stood.

"Back! Back!" He told it, raising his hands and guiding the dragon back into it's cage. "Thats right You stay there and think about what you've done." He told the Zippleback, only earning a whimper as response.

Hiccup then quickly closed the cage doors before turning back to the others, wiping his hands on his vest.

Everyone stood there, dumbfounded, even Liv. Now one has ever done what Hiccup just did. He made a dragon turn submissive by just raising his hands. To say Liv was shock would be an understatement.

"So are we done?" Hiccup suddenly asked, though received no reply. "Ok well, I'm going to...yeah." With that, he quickly scurried away, everyone watching him leave with shocked faces.

It was a few moments till anyone spoke again. This time being Astrid.

"Did...did you teach him that, Liv?" She asked in almost a whisper.

The girl shook her head. "No." She whispered. "I don't know where he learned that."
