Chapter Summary: Solveig gets hurt and Hiccup doesn't know how to deal with it.


Solveig didn't understand why she couldn't be a part of dragon training to. She knew how to use weapons and use her strength. She was a viking she should be allowed to take down dragons alongside her big brother Hiccup.

'Little Sun you need to sit this one out. I'll be back at the end of the lesson.'

She frowned at Hiccup and looked down into the arena. Gobber hadn't arrived yet, but the other mean teens were all standing around talking to one another leaving her big brother out of the group, like they always did. Solveig didn't like those teens and she didn't understand why her big brother tried to impressed them.

'I want to train to.'

Hiccup be able to do something about it. He could always find an answer to a problem and right now her problem was being forced to stay behind alongside Gothi.

'Sorry Little Sun you're not older enough.'

'Yeah, you probably fall over and cry,' Tuffnut teased.

She could tell the two apart because Tuffnut was always a lot meaner than his sister. She stormed up to him only to be pulled back by her big brother and placed over his shoulders. She glared at the laughing group, only Astrid glance back and Fishlegs smiled nervously.

'Let them be little sis.'

'I want to punch him.'

'I know.'

'I want to fight dragons to.'

Hiccup seemed sad for some reason. She knows he wasn't into fighting dragons as much as she was now, since she let go of that Night Fury, but she was a viking. That's what they did, didn't they? They hunt and killed dragons, yet her brother no longer wanted to kill them. Did the Night Fury have some sort of magical power, like one to control her brother's thoughts? She told herself that was silly.

'I know Solveig, but you're going to have to wait until older. For now you can just watch.'

'Aye were all here.'

'Gobber.'

She made her brother tumble as she jumped onto the ground and running to the blacksmith, tugging on his arm.

'I want to fight dragons to.'

'Not so much lass, yer to young you need to stay with Gothi.'

'But I'm a viking.'

'No, you're not,' Snotlout said. 'You're just a stay.'

Him and Tuffnut laughed between one another.

'She's my sister.'

Gobber pulled Hiccup aside before a very one-sided fight was about to start and pick her up by her collar placing her next to the elder.

'Sorry lass, maybe next time.'

The gates opened and she was about to run forward only to be caught by Gothi whom frowned down upon her and waved her finger in a disappointment matter. She decided to stay.

'Finally, now we can start. I'm hoping for some mauling, like on my shoulder or roller back,' Ruffnut said.

'Yeah, it's only fun if you get a scared out of it.'

'No kidding the pain love it.' her brother said unhappily.

'Oh great, forgot about him. Maybe the kid can join at least she can do something," Tuffnut said.

That's it nobody picks on her older brother she got out of the elder grip and marched right up to the blonde kicking him in the knee.

'Ow, I'm hurt. I'm very much hurt.'

He was down she went for another kicked and span him in the air. Gobber glanced at Hiccup.

'What? Alright I'll tell her to stop.'

Tuffnut was screaming as she kept spinning him the other teens backing away. Astrid seemed slightly impressed.

'Little Sun put him down please.'

She didn't want to put the mean twin down. Then she got an idea.

'Okay big brother.'

She paused looked at Snotlout and throws the twin. Snotlout was too slow to noticed and was hit with force both groaning in pain, Astrid and Fishlegs slightly in shock and Ruffnut seemed to have found her brother pain funny. Solveig giggled, only to sadden when Hiccup gave her a frown, she walked back to the healer slower.

'Does she do that often?' Astrid asked.

'It's a phrase,' Hiccup said. 'What have I said about lifting people up Little Sun?'

'That I can't do it without their permission.' she said.

'That's a phase,' Snotlout said. 'She's got Thor strength.'

'Moving on,' Gobber said. 'You're here to learn how to fight dragons not learn about Solveig inhuman strength that many people already know. It's best not to pick on Hiccup in the future. He can let it side, but the lass won't. Trust me she never forgives.'

She snorted because Gobber was not allowed to touch her hair ever again.

'Now, behind these doors are just a few of the dragons you will be learning to fight.'

Gobber starts to walk from cage to cage as he speaks.

'The Deadly Nadder.'

She heard the dragon bang its head against the wall.

'Speed eight, armour sixteen.'

'The Hideous Zipperback.'

'Plus, elven stealth. Times two/

'Monstrouse Nightmare.'

'Firepower fithteen'

'The terrible terror.'

She knew this one,

'Attack eight, venom twelve.'

Fishlegs looked back up at her and she poked out her tongue. He wasn't the only one that knew about dragons.

'Now, Gronckle.'

Gobber started to pull down the lever the door to the cage was unlocking.

'Jaw Strength eight.'

He looked to smug for Solveig liking. Not her fault she only knew about the terror it was small, like her. She was bigger and taller.

'Whoa, wait! Aren't you going to teach us first?'

'I believe in working on the job.'

The dragon was out the moment Gobber unlocked the door the teens scattered around her big brother needed help picking up one of the shields. She will help him.

'Today is all about survival. If you get blasted, you're dead.'

She was pulled back by the elder whom grin at her. She was better at noticing when Solveig was about to leave compared to Hiccup.

'Quick! What's the first thing you're going to need?'

'A doctor.' Hiccup said.

'Plus, five speed?' Fishlegs pointed out.

'A shield.' Solveig reminded.

After all her brother was still having a hard time picking up one while the dragon was busy chasing the other teens.

'That's right Solveig.'

'She doesn't count she's not even training,' Astrid said.

'Yet, she still knows the answer. You lot have a lot of work ahead of you if seven-year-old knows more then you. Now, get those shields!'

Gobber helped her brother in picking up his shield off the ground.

'Snotlout, Fishlegs you're out.'

The twins were not even trying fighting over a shield. Stoick let these guys train, but not her. Her brother would have been a better Chief, he might not be strong, but he's smart and he would have known that these lot we're nowhere near ready to train dragons.

Gronkle had noticed them and blasted the shield they were fighting into pieces.

'Ruffnut, Tuffnut you're out.'

They didn't even seem to have noticed.

'Yay, big brother.'

Hiccup and Astrid were left in the ring.

'All dragons have a limited number of shots. How many does a Gronckle have?'

'Five?' Snotlout said from the outside of the ring.

'No, six.' Fishlegs corrected him.

She glared at both of them causing both teens to back down slightly. After all they shouldn't even be allowed to answer, since they lost their shield earlier.

'There's a point for each of you,' Gobber said.

'Big brother gets the dragon,' she cheered.

He was trying to hide behind one of the empty weapons racks. He looked at her and shakes his head before going back to hiding. She was sad to see him hide. He was a viking to, he should be fighting dragons. Big brother wouldn't hide just because he didn't want to, would he?

'Listen to your sister Hiccup get in there,' Gobber pushed him out into the ring.

Astrid rolled out of the ring calling out quits. The dragon looked around to see if there was anybody else left in the ring, but it spotted her brother. It blasted the weapon sack away and blasted it one more time at her brother, but he blocked it with his shield. Only to have it slip out of his hands.

'One more chance left Hiccup. That Gronckle has no more fire power, now your chance.'

Solveig knew her brother wasn't going to be able to do anything as he was still trying to get the shield. Gobber was behind him, but he wouldn't make it in time if something happened to him. She went into the ring.

'Hey get back here!' Astrid yelled at.

She does not listen to anyone that isn't big brother Hiccup.

'Gobber, Solveig!' Snotlout called out.

'Solveig get out of here. Hiccup!'

Her brother could get eaten she pushed the dragon away using all the strength she could. Only she was too slow to notice to see the beast heading towards her landing her into the wall and as she blacked out, she barely heard her big brother call out in panic as darkness covered her eyes.


Hiccup didn't know what happened and he blamed himself for being a chicken. If he was only looking, he would have seen his sister had gotten into the ring and stop her even if he was going to get killed himself. At least his sister wasn't going to get hurt.

'Solveig.' Gobber pushed him back as Gothi went up to check on her.

'Gobber let me see.'

'Not let lad.'

Some Vikings came rushing in when Fishlegs went to get help, he watched as one picked up the still form of his sister. Oh, please no. Please don't do this to him, Odin don't take away his sister was what he prayed.

He got out of Gobber grip and he found himself being stopped by Snotlout. They never got along, but even Snotlout didn't want any of his family dead. By the time Snotlout lets go of him he's running up Gothi hut, but Hiccup knows he isn't welcome so he waits.

He does what he does best and waits outside of the healer hut even when night falls whispers about his sister already start to occur.

'Hey.'

It was Astrid. Normally Hiccup would have been a fool around her she was way out of his league, but right now he couldn't care if his crush was standing right beside him.

'You should come to the Hall and eat.'

Hiccup didn't answer he just stood where he was standing even though his legs were hurting, from standing all day. They no doubt might give in soon, but he couldn't care. His only thought was his sister and no word were spoken of her health.

'She did a very brave thing you know,' Astrid said. 'There calling her a hero for saving the Chief son from a dragon.'

A hero that might be dead, he thought bitterly.

'Fine be stubborn, but if you spend all the time out here then you're only bring shame on her protection for you.'

Hiccup didn't let Astrid words bother him. For he didn't even hear her speak, Gobber walked out of the hut.

'Come on lad, Gothi says you can see her now.'

So, Hiccup stayed the night watching over his sister. Gobber had said that she was lucky, said that all dragons went for the kill, but the Gronckle went back into the cage willing after seeing Solveig was down. Like the Night Fury he had shot down and she set free, it didn't kill either of them when the Night Fury could have killed him and her shortly afterwards.

Maybe, just maybe they were wrong about dragons and if Hiccup found out that was true. Then his sister might be able to live in a world where she wouldn't get hurt. At least now Hiccup can rest a little better, knowing that his sister wasn't killed by a dragon and Gothi did tell him that she would be alright in the morning, maybe a little hurt on the side.
