Chapter 7: Arrival at Berk.

The Berkians had decided to built some kind of watchtower to look out over the ocean, they waited for some kind of shadow in the sky. They waited for their chief to return hopefully with good news but that was unlikely. it was around 9 o' clock in the morning when suddenly they saw a shadow, it was wide, big and as it came closer they saw that it was Toothless with Stoick on his back.

The night fury came closer to the village, the watch guards alerted the village so the Berkians were all gathering in the square to welcome their chief back and to know how Hiccups doing but Toothless didn't land at the square but flew directly towards Gothi's house. When they saw the Berkians knew that things weren't alright. Gobber and Spitelout went towards Gothi to see what the situation was but when they arrived Stoick was in complete panic.

Time-lapse to Stoick leaving Dagur's ship: Stoick felt bad leaving Astrid like that but he needed to get Hiccup to safety and medicine as fast as possible. During the flight Hiccup woke up "Dad I so glad to see you" Hiccup said while starting to cry "Easy son, I missed you to" Hiccup smiled towards his father but then he began coughing up blood and he couldn't breathe. Stoick tried to help his son but didn't know what to do. "Faster Toothless" he yelled while trying to help Hiccup. The dragon understood and flew faster.

Berk was in sight now and Stoick could see the crowd that had gathered at the square but said to Toothless "we need to go to Gothi's house" and so they flew towards her.

Gothi was surprised to see the chief but then she saw Hiccup and she signaled Stoick to lay Hiccup in her house so she could treat him as good as possible. Stoick did so and went outside but then he broke down, his clothes were covered with blood from his own son. He started to cry and couldn't stay on his feet anymore. He dropped to the ground only to be seen by Gobber (his best friend) and Spitelout (his second in command).

"What happened, tell us" Stoick heard his friend. "I… the riders found Dagur's fleet and they attack it but they found Hiccup chained up on the mast, they retreated so when we arrived we were stopped by Snotlout and we found Astrid" Stoick stopped to take in a sob "they told us the story and and we made a plan to attack at midnight, Astrid and myself attacked Dagur's ship and we found Hiccup but he had signs of the blood eagle on him." Stoick couldn't continue, he completely broke down seeing his sons body hanging from the chains.

Spitelout and Gobber looked at each other, they never saw Stoick so broken let alone cry. "Where are the riders now" Spitelout asked "On their way" Stoick answered short "I toke Toothless and flew away right away". Gobber walked toward Gothi seeing the body of his apprentice and almost puked at the sight, "How can I help?" he said while wrapping up his sleeves and with this, he and Gothi tried to save Hiccups life.

Spitelout was getting back to the square to inform the others but when he arrived, the riders were in eye sight and landed in the square. Spitelout looked at them, they were looking tired, beaten. Astrid looked around "Where's Stoick?" Astrid said in panic "He's at Gothi's house, she and Gobber are treating Hiccup right now" Spitelout said but the faces of the riders didn't change. Astrid nodded and looked towards the rest, together they ran through the crowd and they were heading towards Gothi's house to join Stoick in the waiting.

The Berkians looked towards Spitelout, "Hiccup is in bad shape, Gobber and Gothi are trying to save him" he said only for the people to look at Gothi's house in worry.

Hours went by, it was late in the evening when suddenly Gobber walked out of the door seeing the riders and Stoick sitting on the ground. Astrid notices Gobber and stands up "How is he" she asked almost afraid of the answer.

Gobber looked sad at the group "He lost to much blood and the poison is unknown to us but we treated his as good as possible" "But he is alive right?" Snotlout asked looking terrified at the new information "He isn't awake but please understand that he might not survive, the poison we don't know it and he started to get a fever." Gobber sighed "Can we see him" Stoick said suddenly "yes" and with this answer they went inside.

Fishlegs stood in the back, he couldn't handle seeing Hiccup like this but something caught his eyes. He looked at a cloth with green stains on it. Gobber sees what he's doing "that the poison, we got it off his body" Fishlegs nodded. He started investigating it because it looked so familiar. "Wait, I know this poison" he yelled, everyone turned to him surprised. "What do you mean" Stoick said "Back when we raided some kind of abandoned ship, Hiccup and I found this poison we took it back with us so we could research it" Fishlegs explained "We made an antidote, it's back at the Edge in Hiccups hut". Silence fell among the group until Astrid ran out of the house towards Stormfly.

The Berkians looked at surprise when Astrid suddenly ran towards her dragon to only fly away in top speed. "What's going on?" a man asked. Stoick explained the situation and the other riders wanted to join her but Stoick stopped them. "Let her go alone, we will help Hiccup as much as possible until she's back. The group understood and went back to help Hiccup.

AN: will Astrid be in time with the antidote or will Hiccup die because of his injuries.
