Astrid jumped off her Nadder and walked towards the hut that she hadn't visited in 2 years. The place hadn't changed at all so it was easy to find where she was even when the light that she followed before was not there. When she arrived, before she even was able to knock, the door swung open revealing a pretty blond.
The woman had long blond hair that was braided down to her waist. He eyes were a cloudy gray, and her skin was a milky pale. She was the most beautiful woman Astrid had ever seen. "So you have returned." She asked. Astrid would have never known it was her if it hadn't been for her voice. It had the same breathy tone that she remembered.
"Um yeah." Astrid stammered. Straightening she nodded. "But who are you?"
"I am Aries." She said. "I didn't think you would return. At least I hoped."
"Well I did come. It's been 2 years. This is very important to me."
The woman nodded. "Okay. Come in." She sighed.
Astrid followed Aries into back into the hut. She sat on a small stool by a large pot. Reaching in she scooped out a few large handfuls of purple dust, and put it in a bag. "All he has to do is get a good nose full of this and he'll be back to normal the coming day." She whispered holding the back out to Astrid. Before Astrid could grab the bag the woman pulled it back and said, "I must tell you. You have to be completely sure of this. You might be ruining a perfectly happy life."
"I know what I'm doing. I need Hiccup and he needs me." With that she grabbed the bad and walked out of the hut.
"You are dealing in dangerous magic girl. Very dangerous."
-APPERENTLYIAMALINE-
The sun was high in the sky when Hiccup woke up. His side was warm from the two semi-large bundles that were cuddles against his side. Hiccup sighed happily and licked Sora, and Ember. Smiling he put his head back down and proceeded to fall back asleep.
But before he could fall totally asleep, Toothless trotted into their little cave with large buck in his mouth. Hiccups head popped as he smelled the deer. "Good morning Hiccup." Toothless said as he dropped the deer.
The sound of the deer hitting the ground caused Sora and Embers head to pop up. Hiccup laughed at the look of hunger in their eyes. They looked up at Hiccup silently begging Hiccup to let them eat. "Please please please?" The two dragons begged
Hiccup laughed and nodded. "Go ahead." At that the twins jumped over their mother and towards their fathers kill. Immediately they sunk their teen into the buck. Toothless smiled at his hungry offspring. Smiling he walked over to Hiccup and cuddled against him.
The two watched as their children hungrily ate the deer till there were only bits and pieces of meat left on the bones. After the two were done the two began their morning rough housing. Hiccup yawned, and turned to Toothless.
"I'm hungry, I'm going to go find something to eat." He said giving Toothless a few quick licks.
Toothless nodded and nuzzled Hiccup softly. "Hurry back to me." He said turned back to the two twins.
Hiccup nodded and trotted out of the cave. Before he even got to the mouth of the cave, Hiccup had two dragons on his back. "Mommy don't go!" Sora cried.
"Why not? I'm hungry. You to already had something to eat. Now it's my turn." Hiccup said looking down at the two.
"But we'll miss you." Ember cried.
"I won't be gone that long." Hiccup said. He was touched that his children would miss him. It wasn't something he had expected. But he guessed they were just going through their mommy faze. "I promise I'll be back."
The two stared up at their mother with a sad expression. "Come back soon." Ember said. He almost looked like was going to cry. Ember had always been the clingy one. He never slept away from his mother, and very rarely traveled out of eye sight. Sora was the more adventurous one. He liked to go with his father where ever he went, though when it came to cuddling he would always go to Hiccup.
"I agree." Toothless said walking over to his family. "Do come back soon."
Hiccup nodded and climbed out of the cave and ran into the forest. It was nice to have a little alone time. He loved his family with all his heart but he did enjoy time to himself. While he ran he decided that he was going to spend time alone.
He ran around the forest for more than two hours. He came to a stop by a small lake where he collapsed happily. He had worn himself out but he felt good. Yawning he started to again started to doze only to be awoken by a snap of a twig. Jumping up he growled in the direction. Since becoming a mother he had become a lot more on edge, and this was no exception.
Hiccups growl grew when he saw Astrid walk out off the brush. She was carrying a medium sized bag, and had a smile on her face. "Hiccup, I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry, and I want to know if we can be friends again."
That caught Hiccup off guard. "What?" It came out a hiss. Hiccup knew Astrid couldn't understand what he said but she must have had an idea.
"Hiccup I really am sorry for what I did. I want to make it up to you." She said putting her hand in the bag. Hiccup glared at her as she made her way over to him. He back up at bit as Astrid put her hand out. "Don't worry Hiccup I won't hurt you!" As she said it she threw the purple powder at him.
Hiccup drew a large breath and snorted. He couldn't get the nasty smelling powder out of his nose. Before Hiccup would do anything Astrid turned and ran back into the forest. Hiccup coughed a few times to no avail. Still getting no results Hiccup dashed to the water's edge and dunked his head under inhaling as much water as he could. It hurt like hell but it was worth it. After snorting the water out he was happy to find out the smell, and irritation was gone.
Breathing heavily he fell to the ground suddenly exhausted. He knew he had to get back to his family but he was just to sleepy. So without another further though Hiccup fell into a dreamless sleep.
