Hiccup knew he had very less time. Valka could come back any minute now. Hiccup put the final finishing touches to his newly made prosthetic tail wing, for the poor Nightfury as he heard the roar of a familiar Storm Cutter and the vibrations in the ground because of it landing on the ground. He just cursed as his mother called out. "Hiccup?"
Hiccup bit his lip. "Yeah Mom," He answered as he hastily shoved his creation under the rug behind a Cupboard on his side of a room. When he walked into the room, a faint smell of cooking herbs entered his nostrils. He looked at the Dragon now peacefully snoring, unaware that Toothless was going to lose a part of him now. "So, you decided."Hiccup said.
"Yes," Valka sighed as she began stirring the pot of herbs. "It was difficult. Either him or his tail." Valka sighed once again. She handed Hiccup some darts. "Shoot it at him. We have to drug him before removing the tail."
"Yes, Mom" Hiccup didn't want to do it but he didn't have any other choice. He shot the arrow and the dart went sailing smoothly into Toothless' hide. Hiccup was surprised that the dragon that killed humans didn't even feel the dart. Or maybe it was just he trusted them a lot, Hiccup having made friendship with him. In a minute the herbs were ready. Hiccup excused himself, finding this a great opportunity to put finishing touches to the prosthetic by telling that he couldn't bear to watch it. Valka understood and nodded.
Hiccup raced to the room, carefully bolting it began on shaping some metal shrapnel to the tail to make it durable. He had found some cloth, and had found out that a cloth was the best for making a prosthetic, since it was light. Hiccup found the cloth when he had rode a Gronkle to a nearby settlement for the first time and stolen a red flag. He still didn't know why he did so; maybe he had been fascinated by the cloth. He also realised that, living with dragons the tail could actually catch fire and get destroyed. He decided to go to a village and steal some more cloth that night.
A few hours later, when Hiccup came out, he saw that the dragon was still asleep and Valka was resting in the corner of the room, side of the opening to the cavern-house. "Mom?" Hiccup called out. "Mom, is he -"
"Everything is fine Hiccup," She pointed to the dragon tail beside her. "It's over. It was a success."
Hiccup sat beside his mom and admired the dragon tail. It was smooth and rough at the same time. The blood had clotted on the edge. As Hiccup ran his hand over the tail, Valka spoke. "I am giving the tail to the dragons for food." Hiccup nodded; he knew that dragons kill each other, and a Dragon's food should not be kept away from its master. Valka had learnt it the hard way. "I spoke with the Alpha." That caught his attention.
"What did he say?" Hiccup asked. The Alpha was the great Bewilderbeast that protected the dragons in the nest that he had made with its icy breath. Valka had drilled it so many times in his head that Hiccup could mimic her talking behind her back. Although he didn't like it, it was entertaining for the other dragons that lived with them, especially Cloudjumper who, although serious about his duties, craved for entertainment.
"To let him live here for a few days till he heals completely." The Alpha had aeons of experience and it had been only natural that Dragons and Humans alike went to him for guidance and Valka could understand the dragons well. Hiccup heard a groan and looked at toothless who had woken up and was staring at his tail, eyes in slits. Both mother and son looked at each other and Hiccup felt the fear. A Nightfury could kill you on sight. Hiccup then realised why his mother had been against healing the dragon. Killing it would have been so much better. Hiccup miserably thought in fear.
The dragon stared at his split tail which Hiccup stared at in amaze. It was sharply cut, making it look a little odd on the dragon. The Nightfury turned its head towards the mother and son, who were now shivering in fear. Valka now really hated herself, for having cut his tail and endangering her ten year old son's life. The dragon looked at Valka and then at Hiccup blinked a few times before looking back at his half-tail and back at them. But this time the eyes were big, the dragon almost giving a pouty dragon face. Toothless looked at them as he positioned himself properly on his hind legs, then he literally grinned from ear to ear. Because Toothless looked so comical, Hiccup pinched his hand hard not to laugh. Hiccup stood up and, against his mother's calls and telling, he went ahead and stretched his hand in front. The dragon squint its eyes in reflex. Hiccup paused, before trying it once again. Behind him, his mother just began calling him out before a growl from Toothless pushed her off.
All of a sudden Cloudjumper came and pushed the Nightfury off the edge it had moved to, and settled itself protectively in front of Hiccup. Valka caressed Hiccup lightly from behind, while Hiccup cried out in futility.
"TOOTHLESS!" Hiccup cried out and almost had fallen off the same ledge that toothless had fallen off, if Cloudjumper hadn't put his tail. Hiccup then turned to his mom. "Mom," there was this sort of a fire blazing in his eyes, that reminded Hiccup of Stoick. Both of them frown in the same way...
"Mom, you told Cloudjumper to kick Toothless off the edge, didn't you?"Valka was shocked; never had she imagined that Hiccup could think something of that sort. She loved Dragons just like him.
"Hiccup, no it was just an accident. Cloudjumper was -"
"ENOUGH! I saw you have a look with ''Cloud' there, minutes before he kicked Toothless." Hiccup was beyond anger now; he was the symbol of rage. Valka was expecting yellings and more screamings and anger but what happened next was unimaginable: Hiccup went into his room a small opening in the wall and came out with something red in his hands. Valka wanted to smile seeing how 'formidable' he looked. But hiccup just strode past her and jumped of the cliff.
"HICCUP!" Valka yelled as she peered down into the void beyond. Hiccup was nowhere seen. "Cloudjumper, come on. We must find him." She said just as a shrill whistle rang in the background of the occasional dragon roars in the nest. Valka jumped back hearing the familiar sound she had heard Seven years ago: Hiccup was riding the Nightfury as it shot up like the missile completely vertical, till he managed to get out. The dragon had a red tail now. "How in the name of Thor -"Valka wondered.
Hiccup, ten year old Hiccup was flying on the Nightfury as it made its way through the crevices in the nest ice. Hiccup was happy that the tail fit perfectly on Toothless. The dragon hadn't hurt himself when he had found him on the floor of the nest. He managed to get its trust and swiftly like a pro fixed the tail. Toothless had been really happy, more like jubilant regarding his new tail. Hiccup, as a final finishing touch, had made a saddle just in case his mother allowed him to fly on Toothless, but now that seemed impossible. As he flew out he felt free. Totally free to do anything.
Hiccup decided to steal some stuff from the nearby settlements for his impaired dragon's needs. And he knew just the place he had heard about a few days ago from having flown over a ship. He was still angry with his mother and didn't know when he would go back. But if not for eternity, now he had an aim, a goal he knew he had to fulfil.
"Berk, get ready to give us some important stuff or face my Dragon's WRATH!"
And of course, yes.
The gist of the Fan-fiction comes into the picture. I know you might think I did a pretty bad impression of Valka, a few sentences ago, and I know where I am justified. The movie should pacify you enough. Anyways I was really excited to pen this one down. And please review my writings.
Anyhow, Review, Share, Follow and Favorite this piece as soon as possible. Thanks
