Onixa stared back at Hiccup, her eyes filled with misery and confusion. "Hiccup?" She questioned, titling her head to the side. "Onixa!" He said, his voice becoming a little more cheerful. He guided Toothless over towards her, their eyes meeting.
"I haven't seen you in forever!" She said. "How have you been?" Hiccup shrugged. "Could be better..." He said. Onixa nodded. "General, are you implying that you actually know this boy?" The female beside her said. Her razor whip's eyes were glued directly on Toothless, a low growl escaping the dragon's throat.
"Yes, Silver. This is my cousin Hiccup." Onixa said. "Hiccup, this is Silver. One of the members from my tribe." Hiccup gave a soft smile as the female waved. She had cream colored skin, long black hair with silver highlights, and gray-blue eyes. Her eye shadow was a whitish, grayish color, and her lips were pink and rosy. She seemed like she was in love with the color silver.
"Now, my dear cousin. I know that you are not here to talk to me for no reason. What is it that you want?" Onixa asked. Hiccup bit his lip, then stared at Onixa's dragon's tail. It was long and wiry, longer than any dragon's tail that he has ever seen. It was sharp like a razor whip's, and had spines like a deadly nadder. He seriously began to wonder what kind of dragon this was.
"Hiccup?" Onixa asked, her voice more harsh. "Yeah, sorry. I was just looking at your dragon.." He said. The dragon gave a soft purr, it's tongue lolling out of his mouth. "I know that you haven't seen me in a while, but I need your help."
Onixa eyed his curiously. "What do you do this time Hiccup? You are always putting yourself in some kind of trouble." He rubbed the back of his head shyly. "It's not me. It's.. It's my wife. Astrid. She fell in the fault line, and I can't get her out. I was hoping that you could help."
"General, we don't have time for this.." Silver said also immediately. "Chief said that we need to be back soon. We have to find Dove." "Did you not forget that I am the secondary leader?" Onixa asked. "No General, but we can't just go out of our way to help someone you don't even seem close with."
Onixa looked at Hiccup, his eyes sorrowful. "Please Onixa. If you do... then I'll help you find Dove. Me and Astrid will. Four sets of eyes are better than two." He pointed out. Silver looked at her General. She gave a defeated sigh, then nodded. Hiccup felt his heart skip a beat.
"I wonder if you would have lost your foot if I had been around." Onixa said as she flew towards the fault line. Silver allowed Hiccup to go in front of her, then she followed after him, keeping a distance. The three dragons landed, and Hiccup jumped off of Toothless. Onixa and Silver climbed off their dragons, following Hiccup.
He looked down to see Astrid still huddled into the corner, her eyes staring upwards. She stood as she saw Hiccup, but then her muscles tensed as she saw the other two girls approach. "Hiccup! Behind you!" She shouted.
Onixa and Silver looked down into the hole, then back at Hiccup. "How did she manage to fall down here?" Silver asked. "I don't know, and I honestly don't care either. Let's just get her out so we can find Dove." Hiccup watched as Onixa whistled for her dragon, then waved her hand in a series of complicated patterns, as if speaking to her dragon in sign language.
"Uhh, what is she doing?" Hiccup asked Silver. "Her dragon is deaf. She has to talk to him with hand motions." She answered. Hiccup nodded as he continued to watch Onixa. Her dragon grunted, then lowered his tail down towards the hole. Onixa watched as it came close to Astrid, but her dragon's tail wasn't long enough.
"Dang it." Onixa said. "Okay Hiccup. Time for suicide. Slide down Arrow's tail and save your wife." "Why why why is it suicide?" Hiccup asked. "Uh, maybe because you have to slide...and his tail is made out of the razor sharp scales." "Well, why can't you tell him to pull his tail back up?" Hiccup questioned.
"I'm sick of you." She said. Suddenly, Onixa grabbed Hiccup and held him over her head. "Woah, when in Thor's name did you get so strong?!" He asked. She walked towards the hole, and threw Hiccup down there.
"ONIXAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Hiccup screamed as he felt his body flail through the air. Right before he hit the ground, he was able to grab onto Arrow's long, needle sharp tail. It hurt just holding it. "You alive?" She asked. "Yeah..." Hiccup said, rolling his eyes.
"Good, now save pain in the ass." She said. "Her name is Astrid." Hiccup smirked. "Her name doesn't sound any different from when I said it." Onixa said. Hiccup could hear Silver snickering from up above. "Of all people it had to be Onixa..." Hiccup thought.
He turned, and smiled as he saw Astrid. She walked towards him, her eyes wide. "Thank Thor you are okay!" He said. He held a hand out for her to reach. She gently tugged on his hand, then pulled her body up. He wrapped her gently into his arms, then looked up at Onixa.
"Okay, pull me up!" He said. Onixa nodded, then waved towards her dragon again. Slowly he began to pull his tail up, Hiccup held Astrid as tightly as possible as he felt himself lift out of the hole. The moment his head breached back into the sunlight, he tossed Astrid over first, then allowed himself to climb out.
"Thank you Onixa." He said. "You too Arrow." The dragon purred, despite the fact that he couldn't hear. Silver stared down at Astrid, then back at Hiccup. "Looks like we will be heading off on our own." She said. "Uh, your funny. That was not part of the deal." Onixa said. "No, I'm serious General! Look!" She said.
Onixa looked down at Astrid, noticing a red spot right near her stomach. She must have hurt herself when she fell down. "Astrid!" Hiccup said. He pushed Silver out of the way, then stared down at his wife. Sure enough, she was bleeding near her stomach.
"I'm sorry Onixa, but I have to get her to Gothi. You two will be okay right?" Onixa stared up at the sunset, then back at Hiccup. "Of course, I mean, what can I say other than Pain in the Ass has a terrible choice in men." Astrid looked up at her, but she didn't say anything. Ever since the whole incident, she had been quiet.
"That's talk for we understand." Silver said. "Shut up Silver, I know what I meant to say." Onixa said as she climbed back onto Arrow. Silver climbed back onto her Razor Whip, and they both nodded. "Thanks Onixa. For helping." Hiccup said. "Of course. See ya."
Both females lifted up, flying off in search of their lost team mate. Hiccup's eyes fell on Astrid, her eyes were barely opened. "Why didn't you tell me that you were hurt?" He asked. "I'm fine Hiccup." She quickly reassured. "No you are not. Come on, we have to let Gothi check you out." He said.
Astrid was about to protest, but instead she released a pain gasped. Hiccup quickly pulled Astrid onto Toothless, forcing Stormfly to fly riderless. He held her tenderly in his arms as Toothless flew off and back to Berk.
