Chapter 7 Battle of the Wolves
Sam woke up the next morning to see…nothing.
That's it.
Nothing.
Why am I seeing darkness? He thought to himself as he reached his hand out and touched a leathery substance. Now knowing where he was
"Silverwings." Sam said softly "Can you let me out?"
Complying, the said Night Fury gently let her rider out of her wings
"Ug…I had the strangest dream last night girl." Sam said unto her "I dreamt that I was injured by Alvin, and that you saved my life, and then I could…could like…speak dragon!? I mean how crazy is that?!"
That hurts hatchling Silverwings warbled, much to his amazement, You think that what happened yesterday was a dream? A mere dream?!
"It wasn't a dream…?..."
No Sam. Silverwings growled And I'm disappointed in you.
"I-I'm sorry girl." Sam told her as he walked over to her "I didn't mean to offend you. I guess, that since it wasn't a dream, that my mind hasn't fully caught up with the events yet."
Why don't you try to speak in Dragonese again? His dragon asked him with big, needy, eyes.
L-L-Like this?
Exactly. Silverwings crooned as she nudged his face
Could we go into the village?
Mabey…not
Why? Oh yeah. I'm grounded for a week. Right?
That's right. Only, it's just for three days. Unless something happ-
Silverwings? Sam? A familiar voice came from the doorway Are you two home?
Happens. She finished with an eye role We're up here Night Alpha
'Night Alpha'? Sam warbled
That's what the dragons call me. Toothless grunted as he walked up But I prefer to be called Toothless.
Were you in need of something Toothless? Silverwings asked
Yes. I want to talk to the two of you about your Dragonheart. Silverwings, have you explained the whole concept of being a Dragonheart?
What do you mean Toothless? Sam warbled
Has she explained how you became a Dragonheart? What she did to make you one? And what she hoped for the most with the outcome of the operation?
Are you implying that I gave Sam the Dragonheart because of what I asked you and Cloudjumpper of before?! Silverwings hissed
That is EXACTLY what I am implying. Toothless hissed back And I would like to know the truth of these actions
Hold up! Sam screeched What are you talking about?!
The fact that Silverwings desperately wanted to hold a conversation with you like we are now.
Is this true? Sam questioned as he looked Silverwings in the eyes Did you save me just to talk to me?
NO! No, no, no, Hatchling! Silverwings exclaimed as she pulled Sam into a 'hug' I will admit, that I did want to talk to you. And have wanted to for some time…but I didn't want it to be because of the circumstances of what it happened to be.
So if Sam wasn't injured…Toothless said You wouldn't've operated?
No. Silverwings said hesitantly Ok….Mabey. But I didn't want to do it until I was able to get Sam's approval on it. Which I couldn't figure out on how to tell him about it.
Fair enough. Toothless said And I apologize for the interrogation. But I would also like Sam to know what you did to him exactly. For him to become your Dragonheart.
Ok. Silverwings said Sam, you see that scar on your stomach and over your heart?
Yes?
Well…the one on the stomach was caused by Alvin's sword that he wounded you with. And the one on your chest… she said with her voice trailing off
What about it? Sam warbled
-Sigh-I made that one. Silverwings said with an ashamed look
Y-Y-ou did?! Sam screeched as he backed away
But look Hatchling. Toothless crooned Silverwings has the same kind of scar on her chest
Really? Sam questioned as Silverwings showed him her scar that was identical to his
You see hatchling…Silverwings continued The meaning of being a Dragonheart, is to share part of your heart with the other.
So…you mean…
Yes. Silverwings crooned with a smile You have half of my heart in your chest. And that is what binds us together in mind, soul, and spirit.
Ok…so if we're connected in both body and spirit…Sam said And the pain is split in half between the two, if I remember what you said properly, then…what would happen if one of us died before the other?
-Sigh-Do I need to answer that question?
Yes Silverwings. Toothless said You do.
Ok. She said preparing herself Sam, if you die before me, I will still live. On account that dragons are stronger than humans. However, if I die before you…
Then I will die because of it. Sam finished Good.
'Good'?! Silverwings screeched What do you mean 'good'?!
I mean good as in, if I die. You will survive.
Sam, Silverwings said softly Neither one of us are going to die separately. If we die…we die together.
"Hey Sam?" another voice rang out from the doorstep "Are you home?"
"Is that you Hiccup?" Sam called out
"Yeah. Have you seen Toothless? I can't find him anywhere."
"Um, yeah. He's up here with Silverwings and me."
"Hey there." Hiccup said as he approached the trio "How are you fellin'?"
"Good. Just a little restless."
And reckless Silverwings warbled to Toothless
"I heard that!" Sam said as he turned around to face the Night Furies
"What'd they say?" Hiccup asked in an interested tone
"They said that I was reckless. Which, I agree upon. However, Silverwings, if I wasn't reckless, I wouldn't be your Dragonheart at the moment."
A point…Toothless crooned Not a good one. But still a point
Not helping. Silverwings hissed gently
"Hey Sam," Hiccup said "I was wonderin' if you could help Toothless and I strategize the dragons and Vikings together. You know, since we have a translator now." he finished gesturing towards Sam
"Um, sure." Sam said, a little shocked by Hiccup's offer "What'd you say Toothless?"
Of course.
The next hour consisted of Hiccup and Toothless discussing clever strategies. From saving prisoners, to better ambushes then the last, to attacks in general.
"Hey Sam?" another voice cried from the doorway "Have you seen Hiccup?"
"We're up here Astrid!" Hiccup called out to his wife whom climbed the stairs hurriedly and ran up to her husband "The townspeople want an explanation of Dragon Island. They want to know why Sam's alive after his injury."
"Where are they now?" Hiccup asked
"In the Great Hall waiting for you. Gobber's got his hand full with 'em." His wife informed
"Let's go then. Sam?" Hiccup said as he stood up
"I would…but…" Sam responded as he gestured towards Silverwings "She won't let me leave the house."
-Sigh-Let's go Hatchling Silverwings said while shaking her head
Are you sure?
We're going to the Great Hall to take care of your friends, then we are coming STRAIT back.
"Understood." Sam answered "She's agreed for me to go and explain."
"So what are we doing here?" Astrid asked "You both know how patient Vikings are."
"Oh, right…." Hiccup said "We've gotta hurry!"
"Alright everybody calm down!" Hiccup cried out from his stand in front of the crowd of curious Vikings who didn't hear their chief over their discussions
"Hey!" Hiccup cried out louder "LISTEN UP!"
-Instant silence-
"Alright," started the chief "I understand that you are all wondering what the verdict on Sam the Murkian chief is."
-Mummers of agreement-
"Well, I think that the best way to explain, is to let Sam explain himself." Hiccup said as he stepped aside and gestured towards Sam
"Thank you Hiccup." Sam said as he rose and took the center of the Vikings attention "Now I bet that you are all shocked to see me here right now. In fact, I'm just as amazed as you to be here, and let alone speaking in front of you after my injuries during the last battle. And I guess the best way to explain, it to tell you of a legend."
And with that, Sam told the baffled villagers and soldiers of the Dragonheart legend and how Silverwings performed it onto himself. Saving his life.
"And I am forever in her debt." He finished
"Are you supposed to expect us to believe this?!" an old raspy voice cried out
"Isn't he the one who caused you trouble before?" Sam asked Hiccup under his breath
"You get used to it." Hiccup said as he stepped forward "Mildew, I expect you to accept the truth. Whereas I don't' fully understand the whole concept myself, I have accepted the story, as it is the most logical exclamation, and that we all witnessed the operation. And the fact that Sam was unconscious during this, and be able to explain this in full detail, tells me that he is indeed telling the truth."
He smells like a dead dragon Toothless. Silverwings crooned at her alpha
What was that Silverwings? Sam warbled to the amazement of the village as they saw Sam engage into conversation with the dragons
He smells like Nadder blood. Fresh too. About a day old. She responded with a snarl towards Mildew
"He's turned into a demon!" Mildew cried out "We must kill him! He is a danger to us all!"
He's really starting to get on my nerves Sam hissed before talking in Norse once again "No I am not a demon." he cried out "I just failed to mention, that due to being a Dragonheart, I now have the ability to speak to the dragons like I speak amongst you."
"Impossible!" Mildew cried out
"It's true." Snotlout piped in "We tested it, and what he said is true. Sam now has the ability to speak to the dragons."
"You're lying!"
"Well actually Mildew," Sam said coolly "Silverwings here just told me that she smells fresh dragon's blood on you. And I just asked the other dragons, and they all agree. Mildew, you have killed a dragon today haven't you?"
"Wha….? I…..? Ho…?..."
"Is this true?" Hiccup said in an angered tone
"No!" the man cried out "I didn't kill any of those horrible beasts today."
"What about yesterday?" Sam asked causing Mildew's face to pail
"How'd you…?..."
"Hiccup." Sam said cutting Mildew off "He's stuttering, and he just asked how I knew. He's just admitted his guilt."
"Gobber, Spitelout," Hiccup said as he gestured towards the old man "Arrest him. And put him in the dungeons for murdering a dragon."
"Fool!" Mildew cried out as he threw his knife at Hiccup. Seeing the blade sail through the air, Sam jumped forward and caught the hilt of the dagger just inches from Hiccup's face.
"TAKE HIM AWAY!" Astrid cried out "And he better pray to the gods and back that Hiccup doesn't just execute you now!"
"You can't do nothin' to me!" Mildew cried out as an enraged Gobber approached him
"Try an' stop me." Gobber said as he raised his hook to clobber the man
"Hold up Gobber!" Sam cried out "I have a question for him."
"What?!" he spat out
"Where's the body?"
"There is none." Mildew said "The demon is in the woods. Once I was done with her, I left her there for the wolves to claim."
"HOW DARE YOU!" Sam cried out "Silverwings! Do you think you can find her?"
Do dragons fly? She answered as she bent down Get on!
And with that, the two of them took off out of the doors and shot off towards the woods behind Mildew's house at a speed that would make even Toothless look slow
I smell her. This way. Silverwings said after they landed and led the way into the woods
After about thirty minutes of intense searching, each minute becoming more intense than the last, the duo heard the howls of the hungry wolves and the faint distress calls of the Nadder
This way! Sam screeched as he drew his sword and charged forward
Help! a soft cry could be heard as the wolves grew louder
We're coming! Sam screeched as he came into a clearing and saw a bloody female Nadder surrounded by a large amount of hungry wolves
"Hey wolves!" the Murkian chief cried out as he unfolded his shield and charged the pack
Seeing an easier pray, the wolves rushed towards Sam in a fury of snapping jaws and blared fangs
What are you doing hatchling?! Silverwings screeched as she saw Sam gorge too wolves in the stomach with the sharpened edge of his shield and swipe his sword through another wolf that tried to jump him
Just get the Nadder out of here! Sam screeched back as he caught another wolf on his sword's blade, running it through and making it fly off of the sword and into the path of another
He-he spoke Dragonese… the Nadder whimpered out of shock and amazement
He's my Dragonheart. Silverwings explained simply Now let's get you out of here.
The old man cut the tendons on my leg open. The Nadder said as she gestured towards her left leg joint
Get out! Sam screeched again as he sliced another wolf down These guys just don't give up!
Come, Silverwings said I'll carry you.
As she picked up the Nadder as gently as she could, Sam ran up to them with his sword and shield covered in blood from the wolves
How many of them are there?! He screeched as he did a frontflip over the dragons and drove his sword into another wolf I said it before, and I'll say it again. He hissed as he spun around and sliced down another wolf with his shield GET HER OUT OF HERE! NOW!
But w...w…what a...about y...y...yo...you? The Nadder stuttered due to her injuries
I'll meet up with you at Gothi's! He told them as he cut another down Where are all of these darn things coming from?! He cried again as more wolves came running out of the woods in another wave of angry fur and snapping fangs
I am not leaving without you Hatchling! Silverwings screeched at him
You are. And Will! GO!
Seeing that there was no reasoning with him, Silverwings took off and flew as fast as she could towards the healer's hut.
Please stay safe…She said to herself Oh, please shay safe…
Silverwings! Toothless screeched as he and Hiccup flew up next to her Where's Sam?
Fighting an arsenal of wolves about a mile from Raven's point! Please help him!
We're on our way! Toothless screeched as he quickly changed direction and flew at his top speed towards the battle that started to become louder and louder as he approached
Oh come on! Sam exclaimed as more wolves burst from the tree-line Don't you just give up?! He asked as he sliced another down
Sam! Toothless screeched as he saw the Murkian chief dodging biting jaws and slicing more and more wolves down
GET AWAY FROM MY LOVE'S DRAGONHEART! The alpha screeched as he shot a series of plasma bolts at the wolves that were still charging, sending them back into the woods in fright.
'My Love's'? Sam questioned as he turned around to face Toothless and Hiccup as they landed at the side of the clearing
Don't say a word about it to anyone Sam. Toothless hissed Or you'll end up like them. He finished by gesturing towards the many wolves that lay slain in the clearing
"Sam!" Hiccup cried out as he took in the sight before him "What happened?"
"Well, we found the Nadder, only to find her surrounded by these mutts. So I had Silverwings take her to Gothi's for treatment, while I fended off the wolves. I wasn't expecting there to be this many."
"There must be at least twenty dead wolves here!" Hiccup cried out
"Yep." Sam said popping the "p" "You want to help me burn them?"
"Sure. And gods do you stink!"
"Ahh. Sam said playfully "The lovely smell of wolf blood."
"You're crazy."
"No." Sam said with a smile "Just insane."
Hope you all enjoyed it! Don't' forget to review.
I was wonderin' what everyone's thoughts were on Toothless' dialog. Do I have him too high strung? To harsh? Or just right?
Let me know what you think!
