"Uncle Thog, is mommy going to be okay? " Zephyr pulled the edge of Thuggary's shirt. The sound of boom just now was enough to fright her and now looking at her daddy walking past the people with mommy emotionless was enough to give her a nightmare.

"Don't worry, princess. Your mommy is the bravest lady I have ever seen. Now go play with Sharpshot with your brother and sissy Heather. " Zephyr nodded. Heather shared a glanced with him, grabbed their hand and took them to Sharpshot.

"Cami, you go with them. I will take care of here. " Thoggary exclaimed. Camicazi bit her lip with concern, despite of her rejection in heart, Camicazi nudged Eret and followed the kids.

"Is that really my son, Hiccup? " Stoick asked still processing the whole situation. All these years, Stoick always thought that his son was alive but when Thuggary told them that Hiccup was dead. It killed him inside already and now he saw Hiccup in flesh again... He wondered which emotion he should showed to Hiccup. Happy, mad or upset?

"Yea... "

"What happened to them? " Gobber asked.

"Lots of things happen... " Thuggary said as he turned against them. "Could you tell us? " Thuggary just groaned and sighed in reply running his fingers throughout his hair.

"I don't know, Stoick. It's too much for Hiccup to bear. Why do you care anyway? Ten years ago, you let the villages abused him and now you are begging me to tell you? ! Too late! Ten years late, to be precise. " Thuggary was ready to left them until a kid pulled his shirt.

"Please, tell us. I want to know what's going on to my...brother..." Triton begged him.

"Ten years ago, Hiccup shot down a night Fury but you guys especially you, Stoick didn't listen to him. Hiccup wants to kill the night Fury to make you proud but he realized he didn't want to kill it instead he learned a lot from the dragon and named him Toothless. He knew a lot of weakness and strength from Toothless which is why he gained victory in the dragon arena until you forced him to kill Monstrous Nightmare. He told lots of times he didn't want to kill dragon but did you listen to him? No. So he left. " Thuggary said.

"But why he hated me so much? " Stoick asked.

"He wasn't hate you back then but he felt a huge disappointment towards you thinking that you didn't trust him, didn't listen to him and you always think of him as disaster bringer to Berk. It was bad enough for the villagers to badmouth him and it was worse for You to neglect him as well. Don't you see Stoick, you are the one who let him leave!! " Thuggary stated as his fingers pointing at Stoick. "For him, Toothless is thousand times better than you. "

Stoick was getting feeling sick about it. He had to admit he neglected his son ever since Valka was taken from him. He rather trust the villages rather than his own son. Whenever Snoutlout or the Thorson twins snapped or made funny of Hiccup, he just looked away letting Hiccup to be hurt. He should support him and protect him like a real father. If there was one person who acting like a real father to Hiccup was Gobber. Whenever Hiccup was hurt, he would tell Gobber and Gobber would advise him and support him as well. Thuggary was right, he was the one that should be responsible for Hiccup's left. He slumped onto the ground feeling his energy was drain out from his body. Gobber just put his hand on Stoick's shoulder smiling at him to give him a bit of support.

"After that, what happen? " Gelica was eager to know the whole story.

"After that, Hiccup flew to Rome and that's where he met his first friend there, Shadow. " Thuggary said as he looked up the hut where Hiccup and Astrid is. The story brought a confuse to the vikings. "Shadow? Don't tell me it was the Shadow that attacked us just now?! " Triton said as his eyes wided. Thuggary gave a sad nod in response.

"I thought you were his first best friend. " Fishlegs stated but Thuggary just shook his head.

"I like to take the credit but I'm not. My presence is way further in the story. So don't interrupt me until the end of the story, or else I won't speak again. " Thuggary said as the vikings nodded.

"Hiccup went to the market in Rome to buy some supplies and encountered a thief who stole bread from the market. He help him by paying the money and both of them introduced themselves. And that's when Hiccup know his name, Shadow. Shadow wanted Hiccup to take him for an adventure and he did. Both of them hopped on Toothless and started a journey. They have started their journey to beyond the world for year. And boy, I am so envy about it when I hear the story. You see, Hiccup and Shadow found six magic books on their journey. It was brown leather which embroidered with crystals on each of them. You can say that's where Hiccup learned magic. However, Hiccup and Shadow could only learned the third to sixth magic book,cuz, they just couldn't open the rest of the two books. It was like there's some sort enchantment casted on the books. So they just put the books aside and learned the rest of it. The more they learned about it, the more 8powerful they are but they still remain their consciousness towards the magic. Hiccup and Shadow had been friends for months. Well, that's what Hiccup

thought until Shadow betrayed him. Hiccup didn't realise Shadow had himself blinded with greed until he stole all the magic books except the two books which can't be open for some reasons. Hiccup was desperate when he realised it. Until he met Astrid. "

Hiccup was drinking.

A long brown, cylindrical shape was clutched into his hands tightly as if he feared that some people would snatched his drink away. It wasn't entirely alcohol and it was definitely not just a plain water. But for strangers, it was quite hard to identify it, since it was colourless and odourless, a trick to prevent some drunk people snatched it. The trick is that you could only identify it by drinking into stomach and reviewing a good memory at the same time letting the effect consumed you. After all, this water was no ordinary water.

The taste of the water was based on the memory of happiness inside you. The happier the memory, the sweeter it will taste. The sweetness in the drink able to stimulate your taste bud and nerve, creating and projecting an image that you were thinking when you drunk. It was not a dream instead the images that projected were almost real which was why it was a gem to everyone. It was one of his treasure in his adventures. Because it could created an almost virtual dream to fulfill anyone's desire.

Trader Johann wiwould probably killed his legs to get it as a trade though.

And it was a perfect antidote for Hiccup.

Every time Hiccup missed Astrid, he will let the effect washed over him. He would took a whole flashback in his mind at once and the let the effect consumed him. Secondly, there would be numerous of pictures revealed bits by bits showing the world how two lovers lived together. Blurry images with different colours appeared and painted the world with their memories.

"Astrid, you okay? "

"No matter what happened, it will always be Hiccup and Astrid. "

"I love you. "

"Love you too... "

"Would you marry me? "

"Oh my gosh, it his first word!!! "

He watched his dream resurfaced again and again until he heard a angelic voice. A voice that changed him. A voice that he loved. A voice that screamed her. His bottle dropped and you could hear a thump as he turned around.

"Hey Hiccup. "

Kai, the elder of the elves were taking care of lady Astrid just as the chief's order. That's right, the milady that the chief always spoken was the lady Astrid. She was laid in a medium sized wooden bed with a cloud of cotton under her. If they just took a glimpse at her, they would probably thought that she was sleeping. She was about to awake as her whole body was glowing as a pure white flare coated her. That was why they needed to take extra careful on lady Astrid.

Kai could see the changes of environment as a minute ago, the environment was dying and now it looked like it had revived and reverted back to normal meaning lady Astrid was awakening. Kai could sensed that. He could see the movement beneath her eyelids trying so hard to open and see the world. Her fingers was tapping, her forehead was wrinkling, her lip was quivering, her legs were shaking.

Could it be?

Kai rushed out and locked the door fearing the whole house would explode. After all, this house was nothing but teensy, tiny fireworm to lady Astrid or even smaller. If everything was going smoothly, it should be just an explosion of light filled the whole space between ceiling and walls without destroying the house. But if things went wrong, it would be a huge disaster. The process was different for every month depends how lucky you are. However, there was a time that the whole space froze in a second leaving them dumbfounded in hunger and thirst. It took the chief a week to melt it. The first thing they did was to scurry to the great hall to redeem their one week of hunger and thirst. That was something Kai did not want his villagers to experience again. Kai prayed for every God to make this process went smoothly. Kai rubbed his hand rapidly as he winced a bit. He alerted the elves and covered his ear.

He waited a second, two seconds, three seconds...He had waited for a whole minute but nothing happened. Due to his curiosity, he clutched the knob and turned peered through doorway to take a peak. He looked through every angle of the space and gasped. He opemed the door widely and found himself nothing but an empty bed.
