Here you go everyone! The next chapter! I was going to post yesterday, but I got a little busy.
Anyway, here you go!
"Mjolnir... I think thats my brother!" Liv gasped, leaning over the dragon's shoulder to get a better look.
The WindWalker only grunted in reply, his ears directed at the black dragon, his sharp eyes watching their every move.
"Don't let them see us!" She quickly whispered, ducking back behind the dragon as Mjolnir raised higher into the sky, using the clouds as their cover. "So this is where he kept running off too..." Liv whispered to herself before positioning herself more comfortably on the dragon's back.
She could feel his muscles move beneath her with every stroke of his wing. His chest expanded beneath her legs smoothly with ever breath. If Liv wasn't so confused about seeing her brother, she would be marveling the dragon's beauty and power.
Suddenly, Hiccup and the black dragon raised into the sky, climbing higher and higher. Mjolnir quickly ducked into the clouds, successfully avoiding being seen by the two.
Liv lifted her head, watching the black dragon fly higher before stopping, seeming to float there for a moment before beginning to descend. But what go Liv's breath caught in her throat was the fact that Hiccup lifted off the dragon's back.
"Hiccup!" She gasped when she heard him start to yell. The black dragon fell with her, which confused her greatly. The dragon seemed to have no control of his flight, instead he flapped around uselessly. "Mjolnir! We have to help them!" She exclaimed, holding his fur tight between her fist as she watched Hiccup and the dragon fall beneath them.
Mjolnir didn't act right away, just watched as the human boy tried to direct the dragon closer to him. Finally, he succumbed to his humans wishes and began to dive towards them. They were far ahead of them, but with a Windwalker's speed, it wouldn't matter.
He watched closely though, keeping his speed slow. the human boy seemed to be getting a handle on the situation. He had successfully instructed the other dragon to turn his back towards him. He grabbed what looked like what was a saddle on the dragon back before pulling himself closer and strapping himself in.
"They're going to crash!" Liv gasped. Her brother was back on the dragon's back, but they were going to fast and were destined to crash into the rock pillars that lined the coast.
The black dragon let out a screech before suddenly swerving to the side, narrowly missing impact. Mjolnir gave his wings a mighty beat, raising above the pillars and following the other dragon's movements with his eyes.
"Get ahead of them." Liv whispered to Mjolnir, the dragon grunting in understanding. he flew on ahead, passing the pillars and flew over the water.
He stopped and turned just as Hiccup and his dragon came flying out of the pillars. Hiccup gave a cry of victory just as the dragon let out a shot of fire.
Liv's eyes widened. A shot like that only came from a night fury.
She didn't have time to process that though before Hiccup came flying out of the smoke and flames, quickly pulling into a sudden stop to avoid crashing into her.
Both dragon's hovered there, staring each other down. The two humans did the same.
"L-Liv!" Hiccup stuttered, his eyes wide with surprise to see his sister in front of him, on the back of a dragon at that.
Liv just stared at him before examining the dragon he rode. His large green eyes stared back up at her, his pupils narrowed, showing hostility or threat. Liv quickly casted her eyes away, a action she once saw a terrible terror do to Mjolnir, to show submission. The night fury gave a curious coo at her action, his head tilting to he side. Mjolnir gave a huff, narrowing his eyes as he flared his nostrils.
"Lets, um, go to the cliff to talk..." Hiccup mumbled before tugging on the saddle he sat on, having the night fury turn and head towards the cliff.
Liv watched for a moment before tapping Mjolnir's shoulder to follow.
Hiccup had already dismounted by the time Mjolnir landed. Liv silently slid off, her eyes never leaving her brother's form.
"So..." he started, rubbing his hands together in a nervous manner.
"How long?" Liv asked, cutting her brother off of anything he was about to say.
"What?" Hiccup questioned, looking towards her in slight confusion.
"How long?" She repeated. "How long have you been keeping this from me?"
Hiccup blinked owlishly at her before frowning. "Me? What about you?" He accused, sending her a glare. "When were you actually going to tell me about your dragon friend."
"Well this isn't really something you can just talk about openly!" She yelled in defense, crossing her arms.
"My point exactly!" Hiccup yelled back, crossing his arms as well.
They both glared at each other like a pair of stubborn toddlers before his night fury gave a groan and nudged the boy's back. Hiccup looked back at them and sighed.
"Hold on, Toothless is hungry." He grumbled, turning and stalking towards a large boulder, where a large basket was placed, the night fury following happily.
Liv frowned. "Toothless?" She echoed as a question. The night fury glanced over at her at the sound of his name, something Liv thought was kinda cute.
"Um yeah, that's...that's his name..." He mumbled, heaving the basket over, spilling out a ton of fish.
At the sight of food, Mjolnir's head perked up and he strode forward, snatching up he nearest fish and swallowing it whole. Toothless let out a growl, using his tail to pull the rest of the fish towards him. Mjolnir grumbled, holding his head high before turning, climbing over the rocks and disappearing into the forest.
Liv watched him go and let out a sigh.
"Where's he going?" Hiccup asked, causing Liv to turn back towards him.
"Probably hunting." She answered.
She remembered the first time Mjolnir left to go hunting. She was so scared that he just left her and took off. By the time Mjolnir did return, with a fawn clasped between his teeth, Liv was a sobbing mess on the forest floor. Not one of her most Viking moments to say at the least.
Pulling her head out of the past, Liv turned her attention back to Hiccup, noticing him now sitting down with the night fury curled around him. She slowly walked closer, taking a wide path around the dragon before settling herself next to Hiccup.
"So...is he the night fury you said you shot down that day?" She asked, rubbing her clammy hands against her leggings.
Hiccup was silent for a moment before nodded. "Yeah...yeah he is."
"You didn't kill him." She stated, turning her head to look at her brother fully. "Why?"
The boy pulled his lips into a thin line, flicking a small pebble away from him as he thought about how to answer.
"Because...I just couldn't." He sighed, running a hand through his burnt back hair. "I looked at him and...and I saw myself..."
Hiccup knew that sounded stupid, but Liv actually understood. She couldn't kill Mjolnir that day because her healer side wouldn't let her. No matter who or what they are, they deserve to be treated.
"I understand." She said simply with a smile. Her brother gave her a look of surprise, but Lov quickly brushed it off and scooted closer to him. "Let me see if you have any burns."
Befor Hiccup could react, Liv had already taken his head I her hands, turning it this way and that to inspect for injures.
"Liv. Liv! I'm fine, really." Hiccup assured her, pushing her hands away though flashed her a smile to show he had no ill intentions.
Liv gave a small pout, but believed him and instead sat back, crossing her legs in front of her. Their attention then turned to Toothless as he suddenly spat up half a fish, looking at Hiccup with a purr.
"I'm good." He quickly said, sending a look of disgust towards the fish. Toothless simply huffed in disappointment before turning back to his pile of fish.
Liv gave a soft laugh. "Does he do that a lot?" She asked with a smile.
"Quite often." He grumbled in reply.
She laughed again, rocking back on her bum slightly before leaning forward again. She then turned towards the coast just into to see a small flock of terrible terrors came flying in. Or course, most of them were attracted towards Toothless' pile of fish, but Liv was focused on the one coming towards her.
"Hello there, little one." She whispered with a smile, extending her hand towards the small dragon. The terror sniffed her hand, eyeing her before coming forward, a purr now vibration through his throat.
Hiccup smiled as one curled up against him, purring in content. He laid hand against the terror, his purrs intensifying. He then looked towards Liv, not being able to hold back his laughter at the sight.
The rest of the terrors seemed to have taken a liking towards the girl and all crowded around her. One rested on her head and one sat on each of her shoulders. Two curled up in her lap and another perched on her right forearm like a bird.
"Hiccup." Liv whined. "Get them off."
Hiccup didn't have time to react before a sudden hiss and snap of jaws scared the terrors away. Liv turned, seeing Mjolnir behind her with a grumpy look on his face. He snapped his jaws at the last one on her head, growling as they all fly off.
Liv was his human. He didn't want other dragons flocking around her without his permission.
Liv simply smiled up at the large dragon. "Thank you Mjolnir." She smiled, reaching her brand up and having Mjolnir press his muzzle against her palm.
"Mjolnir?" Hiccup asked. "Why did you name him that?"
"Because," Live started as the WindWalker laid besides her. "Only the worthy can know the true power of Mjolnir."
