Okay, guys, last chapter here. And I just want to thank you all for all the support.
And, well, I've decided to take a break from HTTYD fan fiction (apart from my Zeret one-shot collection) for now and dabble in making my own original stories and Harry Potter fan fiction. I'll begin writing the first chapter of my first full-length Harry Potter story, which is sort of a sequel to my one-shot collection "The Other Dursley" so I hope you guys are looking forward to it.
Anyway, thanks for supporting "I'll Let You Go If You Let Me Go" and all my HTTYD stories. You guys are awesome!
NOTE: I DO NOT OWN HTTYD
Chapter 13: Okay? Okay.
Normal POV
The next morning, Hiccup and Zenna woke up to Toothless and Stryka nudging them awake. Yawning, the two siblings not by blood but by bond disentangled from each other. Then Zenna got an idea.
"Let's make our sibling bond official," she said, taking out a small knife. Hiccup looked curious but yelped when he was Zenna cut her pinky finger on the edge of her knife. "What are you doing?" he asked, slight panic lacing his voice. "A blood compact's kind of complicated to do so let's just use our pinkies. Once our blood mingles, we're officially siblings," Zenna explained and held out her bleeding pinky finger and, with the other hand, thrust the knife into Hiccup's hands. Shrugging, Hiccup cut his left pinky finger.
Then they locked pinkies together.
"I, Zenna Arrowhead Fiersome, declare myself to be Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III's bonded blood sister," Zenna proclaimed. "And I, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, declare myself to be Zenna Arrowhead Fiersome's bonded blood brother," Hiccup smiled as they pinky swore. After saying their oaths, both teens licked their pinkies to stop them from bleeding.
When they left the Cove, Hiccup, Toothless, Zenna, and Stryka all realized what today was.
"This is it…" Zenna breathed out as they headed back to the village. "Yeah…" Hiccup murmured as they reached the Fiersome house. Seeing his father with Zenna's parents, Hiccup turned to Zenna. "I'll help Dad take your things down to the docks. Johann should be there already…" he mumbled. "I'll see you later," Zenna nodded. Hiccup went with his father, bearing some of Zenna's possessions, while Zenna went inside to find her parents waiting for her.
Sighing, Zenna flung herself at her parents and hugged them both as tightly as she could. Edgar and Henna sighed as well and embraced their only daughter.
"You two will be fine without me?" Zenna whispered. "We'll be alright, love. It's you we're worried about…" Henna said softly, brushing Zenna's unruly bangs out of her face. "I think I can manage, Mom. Don't forget that I've got Stryka with me and Medic will be sending you two my letters. I'll write to you both and everyone else as often as I can," Zenna smiled. Edgar then kissed his daughter's forehead. "My precious little gemstone…from the day you were born, your mother and I have always known that you were destined for great things. To think that you'll be heading out into the world to do great things we have never dreamed of doing…Zenna, we are so proud of you and we will always be proud of you. Never forget that," he smiled gently.
Zenna felt tears prick at her eye and she embraced her parents. "I love you two so much. Don't worry, Mom and Dad. Stryka and…and Eli will protect me…" she whispered. Once the hug fest was over, Henna gave Zenna her white coat. "Now, then, a doctor must always be ready for her duty," she said, smiling lovingly, and helped Zenna put it on and made sure to roll up her sleeves.
Together, the Fiersome Family left for the docks where everyone was waiting. Gothi hugged Zenna and gave the young girl her blessing. Gobber handed Zenna her shield, the one with the Fiersome black lightning bolt, all reinforced and freshly painted. Stoick ruffled Zenna's hair and wished her luck. Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs, and the Twins made sure to hug Zenna and slip whatever little mementos they had into her hands.
Toothless, Stormfly, Hookfang, Meatlug, Barf and Belch, and Serpent and Serpentine were saying their farewells to Stryka, who joined Zenna's side as they neared Trader Johann's docked ship.
Hiccup and Toothless then came forward, the latter of the two keeping his helmet securely tucked under his arm. Zenna smiled and coyly reminded Hiccup, "Don't lose another leg." To which Hiccup chuckled and said, "Don't lose another eye."
"Okay?"
"Okay."
The two of them hugged and, all too soon, Zenna turned and went to board Johann's ship. But, when Stryka was already onboard, Zenna suddenly stopped and turned around, running towards Hiccup. The one-legged boy immediately ran towards her as well and they met halfway, embracing each other tightly.
"Okay?" Hiccup whispered, tears streaming down his face. "Okay…" Zenna hiccupped, crying as well. They hugged for what seemed like several hours, when it was actually about two or five minutes, before letting go of each other. Flashing Hiccup a watery smile, Zenna boarded Trader Johann's ship and she and Stryka set sail. Mounting Toothless, Hiccup accompanied them both to the two giant Viking guardian statues.
"I'll see you in five years, Zen! Okay?!" he yelled as Johann's ship sailed past the two statues. "Five years, Hicc! Okay!" Zenna yelled back, waving to Hiccup who waved back. Toothless and Stryka roared goodbye to each other and their Riders did their dragon calls as well.
"Bye, Zen…" Hiccup whispered as he and Toothless watched Trader Johann's ship sail off into the distant horizon before they went back to Berk.
Meanwhile, as Johann sailed his ship, Stryka and Zenna stood by each other's side at the prow. "Well, Stryka…time for us to have our own adventures," Zenna smiled at her one-eyed dragoness. Stryka warbled and smiled a gummy smile at her Rider.
But, even as they went their separate ways, Hiccup and Zenna carried a small part of each other in their hearts and knew that they would see each other again. Until that time came, they had some growing up to do.
Five years later and it would all be worth it for Hiccup grew up to become the greatest Chief Berk had ever known while Zenna grew up to be the well-acclaimed Dragon Doctor and, among Elemental and One-Eyed Valkyrie in her other titles, the most loyal follower and beloved sister of the great Dragon Chief Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III.
Okay? ; Okay
