Welcome back! Alright since i'm going to be stuck for another few weeks at home because of my sickness, i'll have more time time but I promise nothing! Alright, on with the chapter. Enjoy!

"We need a bassin of water and some clean cloths." Fishlegs says after he snaps out from his fascination of Hiccup's armour. Gobber nods and grabs a large bowl of the counter and walks over to the stream of water dripping down from an icicle and putting it underneath. "Uh, strange unfamilliar woman, you said that you had some herbs?"

"Fishlegs, the 'strange unfamilliar woman' is Hiccup's mother, Valka" says Astrid from her post at Hiccup's head. Fingers still gently running trough his hair.

Fishlegs eyes go wide and whirls to Valka. "Wait, what?! She is Hiccup's mom?! She is Valka?!" he gapes at the woman, who looks both ashamed and embarrassed along with the worry already adorning her face. The rest of group, Snotlout and the twins, look shocked as simply looks confused and sees him whisper to Snotlout who then turns to the dragon trapper and tells him how Hiccup's mother was believed to be dead.

Stoick scowls. "Explanations can come later, Fishlegs. What herbs do you need?"

Fishlegs doens't respond and Astrid slaps his arm. He jumps, shaking his head mentally. "Oh, yeah, um, we need some white willow to make tea of it so that it can help the infection and pain. we also need some aloe herbs to quicken the process and some oregon grape root to protect the burns from getting infected."

Valka nodded. "I have those."

Fishlegs nods shakily. "Alright, could you get those?"

Valka hurries off towards the back of the cave, a darker section with strings of dried plants hanging on the wall, just as Gobber returns with the bowl full of water.

"Val, do you have any cloths!?" Stoicks asks.

"Y-yes! on that top shelf!"

while Stoick and Gobber dipped rags in the water and drapped them over Hiccup's most serious burns, Fishlegs and Valka were making the tea and paste to put on his burns. Astrid was calming Toothless. She had almost forgotten about the dragon until he whimpered at her side and nudged her hand, asking if his rider-... No, Brother was going to be alright.

She runs her hand over his head and scratches his chin comfortingly. "It's okay Toothless, it's... he's going to be fine, like he always is." She speaks soft and wishes that what's she's saying is true.

Gobber moves one of the cloths and it drags across a burn on hiccup's chest and he hisses in pain. Fishlegs winches. He dips a smaller piece of fabric and hands it to Astrid. "Gently clean the burn on his face, please?"

Astrid nods and, just like he said, gently drapes it over the left side of Hiccup's face.

Stoick and Gobber are cleaning the burns on his stomach and hands, wich are bright red from his attemps to defend himself. Toothless sniffs his hair and whimpers. Astrid carefully moves the cloth, with a care like he would break at the lightest pressure she applied, and squeezes parts of it so the cool water could drizzle over the redness. She frowns and peels up the edge of the cloth to look at Hiccup's left eye. It looks... not good. His eyes aren't open, obviously, but his left eye looks irritated.

"Fishlegs" Astrid says, but the Ingerman is busy with the herbs and doen't hear her. "Fishlegs" she repeats a bit louder and his eyes flick up immediately.

"Is something wrong?" he gives the paste to Valka so that she could continue and bustles up to Hiccup's head and Astrid points.

"His eye..." she trails off and Fishlegs nods.

He lifts his eyelid and gasps. "Oh no..." he whispers. "What? What is it Fishlegs?!" Astrid asks, all attention on Fishlegs again. He shakily takes in a breath, "His eye... it's..." he mumbles sommething what nobody catches. "Fishlegs, what is wrong with his eye?" Stoick asks, fearing the answer. Fishlegs looks at the group looks back down at Hiccup. "He... he is never going to see again with his left eye..."

Sorry guy, but cliffhanher! See ya next chapter!
