(A/N) Here I am with yet another Fan-shot! RTTE What if time! Also I can't believe this story has 10,000 views! I haven't had this many views since I wrote A story called Mortal or Immortal witch my little brother deleted wile we were fighting over music on my playlist and he got curious about the keys. This is amazing and I hope people are liking 100 fan-shots!
phieillydinyia (Did I spell it right?): I'm glad you loved the previous Fan-shot. Yes it was A sequel to the other story. Also the reason I killed Ryker off was because I wanted to use the possible scenario that even though Hiccup was the most hurt by Ryker, he would also be the most upset about his unfair death because in all that time he was with Ryker so he could get hurt, he also had the opportunity to see the small good side to Ryker.
Guest Johnathen: Gotcha, we've all been thorough that typo ruin our message scenario right?

Summery:
Hiccup, Astrid, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Heather, Fishlegs, and Snotlout have saved A dragon egg from dragon hunters. When the egg hatches and reveals none other than the extremely loud baby of A death song who they name Garf he starts getting out of control. What happens when Hiccup has the idea to use A death song call to calm him down? Hiccup second thinks his 'genius' idea when the baby starts clinging to him as if Hiccup was his mother. Even though it gets extremely hard to take care of him for Hiccup, maybe the teen can train the death song baby since it treats him as if Hiccup was it's parent by using it's language. Can the riders train Garf? Or will Hiccup be stuck with A loud obnoxious baby dragon until he grows older? Can Hiccup learn the calls of the dragons and maybe learn to communicate with them?
"Uh guys?" Tuffnut asked as the egg the dragon riders had recently saved from hunters started to hatch. "Not now Tuff." Hiccup said wile reading the book of dragons in an attempt to figure out what kind of egg this was. "Okay." Tuffnut shrugged and sat down to watch the egg.
"Tuffnut?" "Why didn't you say something!?" Hiccup and Fishlegs asked as they turned around after hearing the egg crack. "Really?" Tuffnut sounded hurt but forgot about the feeling as the egg exploded and A baby dragon stretched his wings.
"Huh. It looks familiar." Fishlegs stated. "Yeah. I can't quiet place my finger on it...wait A minute...that's A death song!" Hiccup sounded surprised as he recognized the markings on the babies wings. "Hiccup I think your right." Fishlegs replied equally as surprised.
Suddenly as the other riders landed in the clubhouse, the baby death song started crying really loud. "Gah!" Everyone shouted as they covered there ringing ears. "Ugh will someone shut that thing up?!" Snotlout shouted after A wile. "He's just following his instincts Snotlout!" Astrid defended the baby.
"Wait a minute that's it! He's following his instinct right? And A baby dragons instincts is to call for it's mother when in danger! What if we use the call of A death song to make it feel like it doesn't need to call for it's kind?!" Hiccup shouted loudly wile covering his ears.
"Hiccup that's genius! But who here could possibly use A death song call? Even I can't!" Fishlegs shouted over the noise. "I think I can manage it! It really is just A song in A dragon call." Hiccup explained wile still covering his ears. "Just do it!" Snotlout screamed and Hiccup nodded. He prepared his voice then used A pretty accurate death song call wile making it sound like A tune. Garf imediatly stopped and walked up to Hiccup curiously.
"Yes it worked." Hiccup said wile smiling down at the little dragon. "Hey little guy." He said. Garf looked confused and screamed again. Hiccup did the call again and Gard smiled wile looking up him. The baby jumped up into Hiccup's arms wile seeming to try and communicate.
"There you go little guy." Hiccup said. He began petting the baby death song who fell asleep, seeming to feel safe in Hiccup's arms. "Thank Thor that worked." Astrid said and Hiccup smiled. "Well I do know my dragon calls." Everyone in the room gave A small laugh as Hiccup continued petting the baby.
...
A wile later everyone was eating and Garf was playing with A lose string in Hiccup's suit wile laying in Hiccup's lap. It was getting dark and the clubhouse was lit by the fireplace in the middle. "Hey I got it!" Tuffnut shouted. "Got what?" Hiccup asked confused. "Garfenyarg!" Tuffnut shouted as everyone looked oddly at him.
"What?" They all asked. "His name." Tuffnut clarified. "Well, what do you sat Garf?" Hiccup picked up the baby dragon. Garf made an approving sound causing Hiccup to smile. Hiccup mimicked the same sound the baby made and Garf seemed to get exited.
Garf jumped onto the table and made another sound wile looking expectantly at Hiccup. Hiccup raised an eyebrow confused. "I think he's wanting you to mimic his sound." Fishlegs explained wile gesturing to the baby who stood near the center fire place on the table.
"Okay." Hiccup mimicked the sound witch was A death song call that went low, then high, higher, and low again. Garf roared happily and in his excitement almost fell into the fire place. "Garf!" Hiccup shouted and grabbed the baby just before the flames could lick his skin. Hiccup took the burn instead, pulling back his hand after setting Garf down and looking at the red mark on his hand that accidently knocked into some of the coals in the bottom of the fire thanks to Garf's weight pushing his hands down when he caught him.
"Hiccup you okay?" Astrid asked wile looking at the red mark with A light blister on it. "Yeah, I've felt way worse. I do ride fire breathing reptiles for A living after all." Hiccup said sarcastically and the others rolled there eyes at his sarcastic tone.
Garf looked at the wound worriedly, but then jumped back onto the table. He made A bit lower call than before and Hiccup gave A small laugh wile mimicking it. This went on for A few minutes, the calls getting more and more hard to imitate. Garf suddenly seemed hungry, and lunged at Tuffnut's chicken.
"No!" Hiccup yelled, and thanks to the past few minutes of calls, he accidently roared A little wile yelling it. This caused Garf to stop imediatly and make A little roar that sounded stern. Hiccup raised an eyebrow and imitated it before Garf crawled up to him and nodded his head.
"Is it just me or do you think that could be the roar for 'no'?" Fishlegs asked intrigued. "I don't know. We've never really known how different dragons use there language." Hiccup responded wile holding onto Garf and placing him on the table in front of A cooked piece of yack chops. Garf made A happy sound and examined the food before eating it.
"Hiccup if you spent more time with Garf...maybe you could learn how to say A few things in his language. Your the best out of all of us at making A death song call." Fishlegs said wile getting exited. Toothless suddenly nudged Hiccup's hand wanting attention.
"I don't know if I could Fishlegs. Remember what happened last time I spent so much time with A baby dragon? I don't want to accidently start spending to little time with Toothless again because the excitement of A new dragon." Hiccup explained and Toothless growled approvingly.
"I get it. Maybe you could just learn A few commands to help him not do things like go after chicken again." Fishlegs said and Hiccup nodded in agreement before scratching Toothless in his sweat spot causing the Night Fury to lay down wile purring like A big happy kitten.
...
After everyone was done eating Hiccup went into his hut wile carrying Garf and riding Toothless. Garf didn't seem to want anyone else to hold him, so Hiccup had decided to bring him to his hut for the night. Once they were there Hiccup thought about what Fishlegs said.
"Um hey Garf?" Hiccup asked wile the baby looked at him. "You think you can show me more of your calls so we can help you out?" Hiccup asked wile Toothless used his tail to keep the baby dragon from lunging at Hiccup's journals.
Garf seemed confused at first but then sort of got it. He made A small call and Hiccup mimicked it. Garf nodded and did the call again before Hiccup repeated it. "I wish I knew what it meant." Hiccup said to himself. He decided to try the call directed at Garf and see how he reacted. When he did the call, Garf walked closer to Hiccup before sitting near him. Hiccup raised an eyebrow before trying something else.
Hiccup did the call again and put Garf away from him. Garf started playing with A piece of paper, but as soon as Hiccup did the call he stood up and walked towards him. Hiccup repeated the process again but wile using A different call. Garf didn't react at all.
"That must be your kinds way of saying to come to them." Hiccup said wile thinking to himself. Hiccup decided to put A small tempting toy in front of Garf who started creeping up on it. Hiccup did the call from before that was supposed to mean 'no'. Garf stopped imediatly and looked at him with puppy eyes.
Hiccup smiled before giving Garf the toy. "It's fine." He said and Garf looked confused before doing another call. Hiccup mimicked the call wile holding the box and Garf roared happily before playing with the toy. "And that call is how the death song tells another that it's allowed to do something." Hiccup said to himself. Hiccup continued working with Garf, doing the different calls that he oddly picked up quiet quickly. He couldn't figure out most of them, but made some progress.
After A wile Toothless started getting jealous and Hiccup frowned as the dragon did his own night fury call. Toothless than pulled Hiccup closer to him and Hiccup realized what he was doing. "You get jealous to easily." Hiccup said before doing the call Toothless did.
"Is that supposed to mean 'come here'?" Hiccup asked and smiled when Toothless started wagging his tail. Unlike Garf Toothless could easily tell Hiccup what each roar meant, and Hiccup learned quiet A few different night fury calls.
...
After Toothless and Garf fell asleep, Hiccup sat in his bed wile drawing in his journal and making the different calls in order to memorize them. He also wrote down what different calls meant and tried to write A description for what each one sounded like. As it was nearing sunrise, Hiccup finally fell asleep but didn't get more than an hour of sleep before Toothless and Garf woke him up wanting food.
Hiccup smiled and decided to use the different calls he'd learned. "Um...Food source, this way." Hiccup did the two calls Toothless taught him and gestured to the basket of fish downstairs. Hiccup then did the calls he'd learn from Garf. "Go. Follow." Hiccup pointed to Toothless downstairs and Garf flew down after him. Hiccup smiled victoriously as he got so many ideas for this.
After Toothless and Garf got done eating, Toothless looked at Hiccup. "Go. Fly." Were the only two calls Hiccup understood and he nodded. "Go. Flight. Friends?" Hiccup roared the three words in A Night Fury's voice, the last word sounded questioning. Toothless nodded and Hiccup didn't ask him where to go but instead decided to see if Toothless took him to the right place.
Sure enough Garf, Hiccup, and Toothless started flying and Toothless lead Hiccup to the dome where Hiccup saw all his friends. "Yes it worked." Hiccup said to himself exited. Hiccup looked at Garf who jumped of his shoulder and ran to chicken again. "No! Not food!" Hiccup did the two calls he'd learned from Garf quickly and Garf stopped imediatly.
Everyone in the dome looked at Hiccup surprised but Hiccup ignored it. "Uh.." Hiccup looked at A free basket of fish and Grabbed A few. "Food." Hiccup did the death song call for it and Garf roared happily before eating it. He then looked at chicken confused. Hiccup picked him up and pointed to Chicken. "Not food. Friend." Hiccup did the two calls and Garf walked up to chicken before licking him.
Everyone looked worried at first, but then sighed in relief as they realized Garf had no intentions of his teethe coming in contact with Chicken. "Hiccup how did you know witch calls to use?" Fishlegs asked and Hiccup smiled. "I worked with Garf last night to learn different calls. I learned some for Toothless to. Check this out. "Toothless! Come here. Retrieve item." Hiccup did the two calls Toothless taught him wile pointing to an axe on the ground.
Toothless walked to Hiccup, then went to grab the axe. "Good. Toothless, Drop. Gentle. There." Hiccup pointed to A basket and Toothless nodded before placing the axe gently in A basket. Everyone stood there looking surprised as Hiccup did A few other calls.
"Woah! You've got to teach me to do that!" Snotlout shouted wile looking at Hiccup. "I only know some Night Fury and Death song one's. You'd have to be able to do there calls before you could learn actually commands." Hiccup commented and the other riders didn't ask there questions for they didn't know how to do Night Fury or Death song calls.
Hookfang suddenly walked up to Hiccup after hearing him say things in Toothless' calls. Even though they were in A Night Fury's voice, he could kind of understand them. "Hmm, I wonder. Go." Hiccup did the Night Fury roar for go and gestured to A spot in the arena.
Hookfang went to it. "Come." Hookfang came back over. "Huh. I guess since they communicate with Toothless they know Night Fury calls. Interesting. I wonder if the command sounds the same in every dragons roar, but they all sound different when saying it because there different kinds of dragons." Hiccup said to himself before trying something. Hiccup did the call for 'Retrieve object' but used the tone of A Nightmare. Hiccup pointed to A bludgeon in the arena and sure enough Hookfang got exactly what he meant.
"Wow. So can you understand what they say to?" Astrid asked and Heather shrugged. "I only know A few phrases." Hiccup said. Stormfly suddenly became curious and walked up to Hiccup. She roared something and Hiccup recognized the words "Can you speak" but not any others. "Um... I understand?" The roar sounded questioning and Stormfly nodded. "uh...Yes. Some. Not all of them." Hiccup used the three calls he knew and did them in A Nadder's roar.
"I understand!" Stormfly roared before making A happy sound. Hiccup gave A small laugh at how exited A dragon was that he could understand some things she said. "This is incredible Hiccup! Do you realize how much this can help us?" Fishlegs said wile moving excitedly. "Yes I do Fishlegs. Why do you think I asked Toothless and Garf to teach me the calls?" Hiccup asked with some sarcasm.
"Can you show me how to? I can do A Gronkle call." Fishlegs said and Hiccup nodded. Hiccup used A Gronkle's roar and did the call for 'come here'. Meatlug flew over and then Fishlegs went to another part of the ring. Fishlegs tried the call but nothing happened. The reason whYy was because he didn't get it right.
Doing dragon calls, easy for Fishlegs. Doing different dragon phrases? Fishlegs thought it would be easy but it wasn't. "I don't think I can get it right Hiccup, and it's hard to move your tongue like that. How do you do it so easily?" Fishlegs asked and Hiccup shrugged. "I guess it's just easier for some than it is for others." Hiccup said. All the other riders tried but just couldn't do it. That didn't stop the constant attempts at calls from filling the air and it got kind of annoying.o
...
Later after everyone else finally gave up they stood in the clubhouse wile lunch was cooking. Garf was playing with A Night Terror, but the dragon got mad and bit at the baby. "Help! Hurt!" Hiccup heard Garf roar and ran up to the little dragon. Hiccup picked him up before the Night Terror could get more mad.
"Garf, No. Others. Angry." Hiccup did the three words Toothless taught him and Garf nodded sadly. Hiccup sighed. "Caution. Weak." Garf looked up at Hiccup and nodded. "Yes." Hiccup smiled and held the baby close wile petting him. Garf nuzzled Hiccup, making soft sounds.
"Wow. So now that you think about it, if you learn more calls you won't just be able to make commands, but actually have conversations with dragons." Heather said interested and Hiccup smiled. "Yeah, I've been working on more with Toothless and have been trying to translate them into other dragons roars. The only two that are really hard to do are Barch's and Windshere's. I'm working on it though and even if I can't do the roars spot on, they seem to able to understand the phrases." Hiccup explained wile setting the table.
As everyone sat down to eat, Heather tried to reach out to hold Garf. "No. Kin." Hiccup recognized the two words before Garf clung to him wile drawing some blood from his chest. "Garf, injured." Garf looked down at his claws and imediatly pulled back. He started roaring at Hiccup and Hiccup only understood some of it.
"Kin. Mother. Protect. Help you." And the other roars were to fast to understand. Hiccup got the message though. "Garf, Not Mother. Kin yes. Friend Yes. Not A dragon." Garf frowned at Hiccup and started making screaming sounds like he was upset.
"Augh why is he screaming again?!" Fishlegs shouted wile covering his ears. "I think I may have upset him! Garf, Stop!" The roar was so loud is came out as A sort of screech witch seemed to scare Garf. The baby dragon ran under Hiccup's arm wile looking up afraid. Even though Hiccup was the one who scared him, Garf would seek comfort in him and only him. Hiccup sighed and tried to calm Garf down.
...
A couple months later Hiccup had learned enough from Toothless, Garf, and other dragons to communicate with them properly. Problem here was, Garf was even more clingy with Hiccup now after Hiccup had trained him enough to stay on the edge. "Garf I'm working." Hiccup said to the baby death song. "Go to friends! Go outside! Food! Hungry!" Garf roared loudly. Hiccup sighed wile rubbing his temples. "You ate A short amount of time ago." Hiccup replied to the baby, being able to make up full sentences by combining the different phrases.
"Go to friends! See friends." Garf looked down sadly wile Toothless stopped burning his piece of paper. "Friend can we go to your friends? I want to fly." Toothless added on. "Augh Toothless, Don't make him beg more." Hiccup roared but it was already to late and Garf started screaming. Hiccup sighed. "Fine. Go on flight. Go to meeting-home." Hiccup said in defeat, 'Meeting home' being there phrase for 'Club house'.
It was around lunch because Hiccup had been working all morning on his inferno sword. Hiccup, Garf, and Toothless all ran into the Clubhouse. "Why are you so late?" Stormfly asked wile walking up to him. "Was working on new design." Hiccup replied before sitting down by Astrid.
Astrid noticed Hiccup's tired look and lay A hand on his shoulder. "You okay? You look exhausted." She said and Hiccup sighed. "I'm fine. Garf's just been keeping me up at night." Said baby dragon jumped into Hiccup's arms at hearing his name. "Food! No play! Listening!?" Hiccup sighed. "Yes I'm listening. There is food source there." Hiccup pointed to the bowl of fish nearby and Garf grabbed on from the center of the table.
"I see. I don't know how we can get him to stay quiet though. It's his nature." Astrid said and Hiccup nodded. "I know he's not meaning to be A burden. You know what, I think I just need to clear my head. You think you might want to go on A quick patrol of the island with me?" Hiccup asked and Astrid agreed.
...
A little wile later Hiccup, Astrid, Toothless, Garf, and Stormfly were all flying. "I don't see anything. I can hear someone shouting though." Stormfly said witch caught Hiccup's attention. "Witch direction is coming from?" Hiccup asked and Stormfly. "I really wish I could talk to them like that. Me and the others have only learned A few words and can't say them to different dragons like you can." Astrid said with A sigh. Hiccup smiled up at her and nodded quickly before looking at Stormfly.
"There." The dragon angled her body to face A spot in the ocean filled with sea stacks. Perfect for hiding. "What's she saying?" Astrid asked, confused as to why Hiccup didn't answer her previous question. "She say's she see's nothing but can hear people yelling down where the sea stacks are. It's A perfect hiding place Astrid." Hiccup said and Astrid nodded as she got what was going on.
Hiccup and Astrid flew down to the source of the yelling. Stormfly and Toothless growled and Hiccup and Astrid landed on A sea stack. "It makes no sense. You said you heard them." Hiccup said and Stormfly nodded. "There were people here." Stormfly replied and Hiccup sighed before taking A step forward. Suddenly A rope snapped and Hiccup along with Astrid were stuck in A net.
"It's A trap! Astrid we need to get out of here!" Hiccup shouted and Astrid nodded. "Stormfly spine sho-no!" Astrid was cut off as two arrows shot there dragons. Garf was clinging to Hiccup so was stuck in the net with him.
"We caught the dragon riders! Get them to the ship!" A familiar voice shouted. "Ryker!" Hiccup shouted angrily. "I'm scared." Garf suddenly said and Hiccup looked down at him. "It'll be okay. I've got you." Hiccup replied as Garf clung to his chest. Hiccup hissed in pain but tried to ignore the claws piercing his skin.
Ryker looked completely confused. "Did you just...speak to the beast?" Hiccup's eyes widened but then he rolled his eyes. "Of course I did Ryker. I talk to Toothless all the time just like I'm talking to you. Isn't that right Garf?" Garf nodded wile roaring.
"You know that's not what I meant Haddock." Ryker held his sword to the net. "Oh really? I had nooooo Idea." Hiccup gestured with his free hand wile exaggerating on the word no. "Ugh. Lock them in A cell!" Ryker shouted louder and the hunters finished loosening the net so they could pull Hiccup and Astrid down to the cells. Both Hiccup and Astrid tried to fight, but it was two to six.
Hiccup and Astrid glared at the hunters as they slammed there cell door shut. "You know we're going to escape right? So why don't you just let us go now and save us both the trouble?" Hiccup asked with sass in his voice as Garf hid behind A basket in the cell. Hiccup saw A Nadder in A cell being miss treated and glared at the hunter hurting her. "Help! Get me home!" The Nadder yelled desperately. "Don't worry. We'll help you." Hiccup said as the Nadder looked at him surprised.
"I knew it! You do talk to them." Ryker said wile holding his sword to Hiccup. "Your point?" Hiccup asked, not seeming to care that A blade was centimeters away from his neck thorough the cell bars. "That can useful to Viggo." Ryker said with an evil smirk.
"True, but you really think you're going to get me that far?" Hiccup asked and Astrid couldn't help but smile at the way acted. Ryker growled and grabbed the color of Hiccup's shirt thorough the bars. "Hiccup!" Astrid shouted but didn't grab him for fear Ryker would pull him harder against the bars breaking something in his neck.
Hiccup coughed and glared down at Ryker who held him A little above the ground. "Take your best shot Ryker. We both know you wouldn't kill me because your brother." Ryker bared his teethe at Hiccup but the boy held his glare without showing fear. Finally Ryker dropped him and Hiccup fell down wile coughing, Astrid laying her hands on his shoulders.
"Your going to be sorry once we get there." Hiccup just shrugged. "Good to know." He replied, making sure not to get to close to the cell bars this time. Ryker left down the hall, Hiccup and Astrid leaning against A wall wile Garf came out of hiding.
"Are you okay?" He asked and Hiccup nodded. "I'll be fine Garf." Hiccup replied, saying the name in Norse rather than the dragons tongue. One hunter saw Garf and looked upset. "Who's this?" He asked and Hiccup stood in front of Garf, not realizing the man was there. "Uh...who's what? I don't know who your talking about?" He replied, mentally kicking himself for the poor lie.
"You know who I'm talking about. Dragon's on this ship are to be in there cells. Ryker!" Ryker came walking down the hall and both Hiccup and Astrid stood in front of Garf. "What is it?!" Ryker snapped. "There's A dragon out of it's cell. A baby hidden behind the prisoners." The hunter said and Ryker couldn't believe he forgot about Garf when he hid thanks to his anger at Hiccup.
"Hand the dragon over." Ryker said wile two guard stood at the front of the cell and Ryker opened it. "Not on my life." Hiccup said wile grabbing Garf by the scruff of the neck and holding him close to his chest. Suddenly Hiccup got an idea. If him and Astrid couldn't leave thanks there dragons still in A haze from dragon ruit arrow after effects, then they could send Garf for help.
"Garf? Go get help. We'll cover you." Hiccup told the baby and Garf nodded. Hiccup and Astrid fought the hunters before Hiccup got Garf up the stairs. Hiccup punched A guard who was about to shoot Garf as he flew and before long the baby was taking off to the edge out of arrow range. One man was on top of the ship, and he didn't notice the prisoners trying to escape were the one's that couldn't be injured.
It happened so fast and the hunter let go of the arrow without thinking. Suddenly Hiccup felt A sharp, stabbing pain below his right shoulder just above his ribs. The boy didn't even scream, but fell onto his knees, hissing and grabbing the material on his pants so tight his knuckles turned white. He wanted to find A way to stop the pain, but it got worse and worse until Hiccup fell unconscious, the feeling of blood running down his arm and back being the last thing he remembered.
"Hiccup!" Astrid broke free of the hunters grasp and ran to Hiccup. "Hiccup common. Talk to me." Astrid brushed Hiccup's hair out of his face but didn't dare move him thanks to the arrow lodged in him. Ryker looked surprised and shocked.
"You idiot! How could you shoot him?! Viggo needs the boy alive!" Ryker shouted wile throwing the man who shot the arrow over bored. Ryker then ran down the steps of the deck to get A closer look at Hiccup. Ryker tried to grab the boy, but Astrid glared at him. "You touch him and it'll be the last thing you ever do." Astrid said darkly and coldly. Her voice was so filled with venom and ice it froze you in an instant. Her eyes were cold and filled with fury. It seemed like her rage came off of her and made the already eerie feel of the surrounding damp see stacks in icy water as the sun set and dark clouds filled the sky much much worse.
Ryker took A step back, before glaring at Astrid. "If we don't help him he'll die and we need him alive." Ryker said sternly wile gesturing to Hiccup's paling form. The only noise on the ship was the creaking of the ship moving in the water. Astrid looked at Ryker with the most stern glare in the Archipelago. "If you want to keep him alive you'll let him go." Astrid said with A deathly cold voice as if her voice became darker with the more closer Hiccup got to death.
Ryker frowned. "I'll never let you go." He said with A smirk. "Then you have to deal with Viggo asking you why you let him die." Astrid's voice now sounded as if it could poison someone how dark it was. "Hah, I know you wouldn't let him die." Ryker held the sword to Astrid's neck. "And when he dies, you'll die." Astrid smirked evilly. "I don't care if you kill me, I care about his well being. Besides we both know you won't let him die. You're to scared of your little brother and you know he can be useful. Now let us go, or you'll regret it to Hell and back." Astrid spat the words at Ryker.
Ryker wouldn't budge, but neither would Astrid. Hiccup was losing blood fast, and if one didn't break, they'd both lose him to the hands of death itself. Suddenly the roar of A Night Fury sounded downstairs. Astrid smirked as she realized Toothless was coming back to his senses. Wile Ryker was distracted, Astrid took the opportunity to use the back of her axe to knock him unconscious.
Astrid ran downstairs, fighting guards. She got A key and unlocked Toothless and Stormfly. Just as A guard was going to bring down an axe on Astrid, Toothless shot him with full fury. He heard Hiccup shouted in pain, smelled his blood nearby. Toothless could sense it, his rider was in deep trouble.
Astrid, Toothless, and Stormfly got upstairs. "Hiccup? Where are you!" Toothless roared before seeing Hiccup lying on the ground. Astrid manage to get Toothless' tail into position, before they took off into the darkening sky, Astrid holding Hiccup in her arms after carefully getting the arrow out of him using her medical skills. (I just have to say something, when Astrid or anyone for that matter gets shot with an arrow, they should have broken it and got medical help to get the tip out. Pulling an arrow out of you like that should have injured badly or killed her especially because where the arrow was near arteries, muscle tissue, and so fourth. The only reason I look past the is because I don't know if it got caught in her armor first and then just lightly stabbed her leg with the very tip).
Astrid knew Hiccup wouldn't make it all the way to Berk, so took him to the edge after sending A Terror mail. Along the way she met up with the other riders being lead by A very distressed Garf. As soon as Garf saw his favorite human who he treated like A parent the baby dragon landed on Hiccup's lap with tired eyes from flying. He called for Hiccup but started screaming when the boy didn't answer.
"Garf. Hey calm down." Astrid tried to sooth the baby. Toothless tried to calm him but the baby wouldn't stop. The others couldn't hear Astrid about Hiccup with him screaming. "Garf." Astrid tried to sooth him wile getting upset. Suddenly Astrid heard Hiccup groaning in pain, before making one of his calls in the back of his throat sternly. Garf went quiet.
"Hiccup?" Astrid asked wile looking at him. Hiccup barely opened his eyes to look at Astrid, his face full of pain. "Than Thor. Hiccup I need you to try and stay away." Astrid said wile seeing the bleeding had slowed in his shoulder A little. Hiccup frowned but nodded, not speaking but gripping her hand tightly to let her know even though his eyes were closed he was awake.
The other riders saw the wound and Fishlegs imediatly gestured for Astrid to land on A sea stack. "I know A lot about bandaging and stitching. I can try to treat the wound till we can get to Berk." Fishlegs said and Astrid nodded. Hiccup groaned in pain as Fishlegs took off his shirt to reveal his wound, but didn't do much more. "He has A lot of blood loss, but with the stitches and bandage he should be able to make it back to Berk. Let me come with you. I'm sure Heather and the others can watch the edge." Fishlegs said and Astrid nodded.
...
It was nearing midnight and Hiccup had fallen unconscious again. Fishlegs and Astrid were standing outside Gothi's hut wile she worked on Hiccup's wounds. Stoick was inside, worried about his boy. When the door finally opened Stoick was carrying A limp and pale boy in his arms. At least Hiccup was breathing though.
"She say's he needs rest but should be up in A few days." Stoick explained wile holding Hiccup. "I've got A meeting that can't be missed and don't know what to do. By any chance can you guys make sure he get's what he needs?" Stoick asked with worry filled eyes.
"Of course sir. We can take him back to edge to his hut." Astrid said with A smile. What none of them were expecting though was for Hiccup to open his eyes wile looking up at his dad. "Dad?" He asked seeming confused. "Hiccup! You weren't supposed to wake up for A few day's. How are you feeling?" Stoick asked and Hiccup smiled weakly.
"Eh from Gronkle lava blast to change wing acid? I would go with red death attack." Hiccup smirked and Astrid rolled her eyes. "If he's joking about dragons and pain he's not in to bad A condition." She said wile reaching out to grab Hiccup's hands.
Hiccup tried to stand up with her help, but wound up having to sit on A chair imediatly. "Your still weak Hiccup and shouldn't even be able to move around right now. Let me help you get home. You rest." Astrid said wile pushing Hiccup's hair out of his face. Both Stoick and Fishlegs gave her an odd look, deep down knowing the two were love dragons who didn't know they were love dragons.
Suddenly Garf woke up from his spot on Toothless' saddle waking the dragon up. Toothless got to Hiccup first, nuzzling and lightly licking the boy. "Nice to see you to." Hiccup said in his dragon calls. Garf started screaming and Hiccup covered his ears. "You to! Nice to see you to!" Hiccup roared loudly in the death song call. Garf stopped screaming and started licking Hiccup.
"What was that?" Stoick asked. "I may have picked up on A thing or two regarding the dragons tongue." Hiccup said and Stoick sighed. "So your communicating with dragon in there tongue now?" Stoick asked and Hiccup nodded. "Pretty much." He said in A week voice, grabbing his head as he became dizzy.
"Common Hiccup. Let's get you home." Astrid said wile helping Hiccup get on Toothless. Hiccup was so exhausted that as he sat behind Astrid (He didn't trust himself to fly in this condition) he lay his head on her shoulder wile holding her tightly, the dizziness making him feel like he'd fall off.
Astrid smiled and held Garf in her arms before feeling Hiccup start snoring. "Really?" She said to herself quietly. Astrid grabbed Hiccup's wrist so he didn't let go of her, and held them tightly wrapped around her. "You must really be tired." Astrid said with A small laugh in her tone, smiling when Hiccup mumbled something in his sleep as if trying to respond. Fishlegs saw the interaction but didn't say anything about it.
...
"Get over here!" Hiccup roared to Garf who was growing quiet big now. It had only been A few months but the death song was now Hiccup's height. Hiccup had now mastered many phrases in the dragons tongue, the language starting to become natural to him. "I wasn't hunting it!" Garf defended himself wile hiding A Night Terror behind him. Hiccup sighed. "Garf...Don't you think maybe it's time for you to go to melody island with other Death songs your size?" Hiccup asked but Garf roared no.
"Garf I've been talking to my friends and they think you need to go somewhere were you can be yourself without having to fight your instincts." Hiccup roared gently wile holding out his arms. Garf lightly hugged Hiccup with his two tiny arms before pulling back.
"What if the other Death song doesn't accept me?" Garf asked worried. "Then i'll have A thing or two to say about it." Hiccup roared confidently. Garf nodded his head, before the two got into A play fight. Garf on top off Hiccup wile using his head and tail to hit at him wile Hiccup used what strength he could to try and push the heavy dragon off.
The other riders and Toothless were watching from A distance. "Good, now Garf can be somewhere where he feels like he belongs and Hiccup can go without grabbing him or stopping him all the time." Fishlegs satisfied. "It's still going to be hard though. As much as I love the little guy...he's not so little anymore." Astrid said wile watching Hiccup and Garf play wile roaring random stuff.
Hiccup and the other riders got Garf to melody island and the dragon wound up bonding with the female death song well. "I'm gonna miss you big guy." Hiccup said and Garf nodded. "You to. Maybe we'll meat again someday?" Hiccup pulled back and nodded. "Definitely." Hiccup replied before the dragon riders said there goodbyes and left the island. Garf had A permanent home, Hiccup had came up with the idea to learn the dragons tongue, and now the world and possibilities of dragons was so, so much bigger to the riders.
