Chapter 14 Fury Sentence
"Bring out the prisoner." Hiccup said loudly from his seat that overlooked the arena. Watching with a stern face as Mildew was shoved into the ring by a very angry Gobber.
"Not so hard you big olf!" Mildew snapped at Gobber as he stumbled into the center
"Shut ye'r trap or I'll kill ye' now and 'iccup will throw me off the island fer' murder." Gobber threatened while shaking his hook in front of Mildew's face.
"That's enough Gobber." Hiccup said firmly as he rose from his seat and gazed upon Mildew with such a angry face that caused Mildew to send a silent prayer of mercy to the gods out of fear from the young chief. "Mildew Hackworth of Berk. You are being tried for an attempted murder of the Nadder, Marikia. As well as the attempted assassination of Chief Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. How do you plead yourself?" Hiccup said loudly, and emotionlessly as the crowd of Vikings around him became more and more anxious for Mildew's verdict to be applied.
"Not Guilty!" Mildew cried out in fury as the crowd of Vikings started an uproar of disproval and cried out for the death penalty for telling a lie.
"ENOUGH!" Hiccup cried out after he let the villagers yell for a few minutes "I suppose you have a statement to be made in defense of these charges then?" Hiccup asked as he looked at Mildew once more. With even more disappointment in his face than before.
"I do!" Mildew cried out "Are you all just going to sit by and let HIM throw me out?! Me! Who's been with this town for many years! Feed you my cabbages! Given you insight on the Will of the Gods! And you all are going to let that…that RUNT take charge?! He has lead us into war! I swear to you! He will be the downfall of Berk! He is doing what he always does! He Will Destroy Us All!"
"Chief Hiccup has done more for this village than you ever did!" A random villager cried out causing an eruption of approval for the statement. Each crying where their loyalty to the chief stood.
"By the decree of the elders!" Hiccup cried out as he raised his hand to quiet the crowd "Mildew you have been found guilty for the attempted murder of the Nadder, Marikia and the assassination of Chief Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III."
"Rubbish!" Mildew cried out again. The man looking like he was going to try and kill Hiccup a second time
"Your verdict is to be decided by the people of the village." Hiccup continued as if he didn't even hear the old man in the ring. "Your fate is in their hands." And with that, Hiccup sat back down as the villagers started to cry out for Mildew to be killed.
"Hang him!" one cried
"No! That's not enough!" cried another
"I say we give him the Blood Eagle!" shouted someone
"Feed him to the dragons!" cried yet another
"Let the Night Fury have his way with him! After all. He did try to kill his rider!"
"Let the dragon decide? How will we know what he desires?"
"Yeah! The Murkian is still recovering!"
"Who cares?! Just as long as that troll gets what he deserves!"
"WHAT?!" Mildew screamed from the ring "You're going to let that…that demon give me my verdict?! Y-You can't!"
"We can and will!" the villagers shouted as Hiccup put his hand up once again, and silence fell on the crowd like a fast sickness.
Turning to his mother that was standing beside him, Hiccup asked her quietly to go and summon Toothless from where he was still residing in the healers hut. Nodding to her son, Valka mounted Cloudjumpper and the two of them took off to get the Night Alpha
Silverwings was so comfortable at the moment. It felt like she was being covered in a thick leather blanket. With a warm and sticky, something, running across her frill as she slept in bliss. It felt nice, but it was waking her up. Groaning she tried to roll over, but was stopped when she felt resistance to do so. Opening up her eyes slightly, she was greeted with almost complete darkness. With a small ray of light coming from somewhere over her head. Taking a deep breath to register her surroundings, she felt the warm and sticky, something, on her frill again. Funny, she didn't remember it stopping. And she flinched slightly when it tickled the back of her head by her neck. Silverwings jumped slightly when she heard a familiar chuckle from the darkness as the darkness suddenly disappeared, bringing with it the light of a bright sun shining through the window. And a beaming Toothless looking down at her with a small, loving smile
Afternoon. He said with a chuckle
'Afternoon'? Silverwings warbled in shock, slightly blushing when she realized she was tangled up in Toothless' limbs. His wings still draped partly over her, and their tails intertwined.
You've been out since yesterday morning. Toothless replied, still smiling I didn't want to wake you so I let you sleep. You need the rest.
Oh, well…thank you Toothless. Silverwings said shyly as she looked away bashfully You didn't have to you know…
Yeah. Toothless agreed with a shrug, and Silverwings felt her heart drop. Until Toothless nudged her under her chin causing her to tense up But I wanted to. Cloudjumpper helped me out with the Alpha duties so I could stay with you.
Hearing him say that made Silverwings melt into Toothless' touch as she turned her head back around and nudged him back Thank you. She whispered as they pressed each other's foreheads against the other
My privilege, and honor. Toothless whispered back as he took in a deep breath and let it out nice and slow in bliss
But, like all good things. This one had to end for the Night Fury couple as Valka and Cloudjumpper landed outside and came in seeing Toothless and Silverwings lying together still with their heads pressed together.
"Toothless." Valka said with a smile "Hiccup needs you at the ring. It's important."
More important than the beauty in front of me? Toothless whined back as he gave Silverwings a small lick on her snout causing her to giggle slightly Not possible
The village has decided to let you decide the penalty for the cabbage farmer that tried to kill the Nadder and the Savior. Both dragon and Viking masses request you to do this Toothless. Cloudjumpper said with a smile I'm sure Silverwings wants to check on her boy anyway.
And like an atomic bomb, Toothless' attitude went from 'love-struck-dragon' to 'Angry-killer' in half a second. At the mere thought of Mildew, Toothless started breathing heavily with smoke billowing from his nostrils and a slight blue glow along his back spines
Go. Silverwings agreed as she also licked Toothless snout slightly. Bringing his eyes to hers Don't worry. I'll be here when you get back.
I won't be long. Toothless promised as he reluctantly got up and followed Valka and Cloudjumpper out and took to the skys.
Smiling to herself, Silverwings picked herself up and walked over to where she had seen the healers take Sam when they returned before. Brushing the curtain aside, she say him lying on his stomach with his arms at his sides. His head was turned to the left and on a small pillow, his body was covered in blankets from the waist down. Looking at his back, she saw the many heavy bandages that were on his wounds. His shoulder also patched up from where Drago stabbed him with the dagger. As she watched him sleep, she also noticed a slight shiver of the boy and, chuckling to herself, she took the ends of the blankets that were at his waist, and draped them over the rest of his body to his shoulders. Giving him a gentle nudge in the crook of his neck, she laid down next to the bed in a protective circle. She concentrated on Sam's even deep breathing. Whereas she knew he was going to be alright. She was still worried that he would suddenly stop breathing and she would be powerless to save him. Smiling to herself again as she thought about Toothless and her feelings for him. Sure he was cute, hulky, handsome, determined, strong, a natural leader, sweet, caring, compassionate, merciful but still firm. And could take on any obstacle that got in the way of his goals. Her sleeping and waking up in his embrace just confirmed what she had thought of Toothless for a while now. And she couldn't wait to tell her hatchling that she and Toothless might be an item. She could only hope.
"You can't do this!" Mildew cried out in vain as Toothless landed next to Hiccup with a snarl at Mildew as he started to glow a brighter blue along his nostrils and frill as well as his back. His back arched in anger
"I'm sorry Mildew." Hiccup said as he gestured to the crowd "But I gave them the ability to choose your verdict. And they decided to let Toothless decide. It seems as if your fate is jumbled amongst the masses."
"Please!" Mildew cried out as he fell to his knees "I beg for your forgiveness!"
"As much as it pains me to say this." Hiccup said with a solemn face "You brought this on yourself with all of your rumors, deceit, mockery, and crimes. There is no forgiveness left for you in this life. And I pray that the gods do not grow weary with you as well and condemn you to hell."
With that, Toothless glided down to Mildew, landing just mere feet in front of him. Snarling loudly.
"Toothless." Hiccup said causing the night fury to look up at Hiccup "If you decide to kill him. Keep the blood to a min. ok? There's a few kids watching."
Oh don't worry…Toothless said with a deep, low growl from the back of his throat You won't see any of the blood.
"Get away from me!" Mildew cried out as Toothless pounced on Mildew, digging his claws deep into his side and shoulders, causing the man to scream in pain and fear, before Toothless arched his back once more and sprang into the sky with Mildew gripped tightly in his talons like a hawk and a fish.
You have always been a thorn in my side…Toothless growled as he gained a high altitude above the bay You have always been one to scorn at the things that are better for others. He said, growling still as he released his grip on Mildew, dropping him as he started to scream and holler as he flailed about in the air as Toothless did a back flip and dived back after Mildew, not finished with him yet.
Catching up to him easily, Toothless sunk his talons into Mildew's hips now and pulled up abruptly causing Toothless to dig deeper into Mildew's flesh. You tried to kill one of my nest. Resulting in her ability to fly. Toothless snarled again as he threw Mildew above him and lashed out with his teeth, sinking them into his forearm cleaving it in two as Mildew started to fall again, still screaming and now crying due to the pain as he brought his other arm up to his stump that was spraying blood into the open air. Toothless let him fall further this time before his caught back up and pulled Mildew back into the sky. This time with his talons deep in Mildew's legs just below the knees. You tried to kill my brother! Toothless screeched as he did a barrel roll with Mildew still tightly griped in his merciless claws as they tore deeper and deeper into the flesh of the still screaming man.
From the ground, where Hiccup and the rest of the villagers stood watching as Toothless tortured Mildew. They saw something fall from the two and land at the docks. Looking down the cliffside, Hiccup saw that it was an arm. Mildew's arm. Looking back into the sky, he saw as Toothless did a barrel role with Mildew still in his clutches. And if you looked hard enough, you could see the blood coming from Mildew's many wounds as they fell to the bay like drops of red rain.
You are now condemned to death! Toothless screeched again as he leveled back out and dropped Mildew one last time before diving close behind him as he prepared a plasma blast in his throat MAY ODIN HAVE MERCY ON YOUR SOUL! And with that, Toothless unleashed his ball of plasma energy at the screaming man, hitting him in the head right between the eyes, causing his entire upper body to explode from the blast in a shower of flesh and blood. Pulling up, Toothless angled himself and prepared another blast as he approached the lower, lifeless half of Mildew and fired at it causing it to also explode in blood and gore. And rain down into the bay in a small folly of blood and flesh.
Turning back towards the shore where Hiccup and the others were watching as Toothless killed Mildew. Toothless dived down and dunked himself into the bay to wash the blood from his body as he landed next to Hiccup and shook himself off. Giving Hiccup an 'I'm sorry you had to see that.' look.
"Alright!" Hiccup called out after he found his voice again "Everyone back to work! Elders we will have a meeting in the hall at sundown." Hiccup walked over to Toothless and held out his hand a few inches from Toothless' snout which Toothless closed the gap with a low purr causing Hiccup to smile slightly "Thanks bud." Hiccup whispered "If the villagers would've called for any other verdict, I don't think that I would've been able to do it."
Standing up, Hiccup joined the crowd that was quickly, and quietly leaving the arena. Mumbling to themselves about the feat that Toothless did. Reminding them, once again, why the Night Furies are so feared among men and beast.
A little excessive don't you think? Cloudjumpper asked as he walked up to Toothless' side You scared some of the children pretty bad. As well as some of the adults as well.
I'm sure they'll be alright. Toothless answered He deserved it for all of the crimes that he did. The crimes that you saw while you've lived here aren't even half of what he did to Hiccup and I. As well as the village and other dragons. He had it coming a long time ago. Toothless huffed as he got up and started to walk away
Where are you heading? Cloudjumpper asked as Toothless walked passed
The healers hut. Toothless answered abruptly I need to see Silverwings
Is there anything that I can do for you? Cloudjumpper asked as he watched Toothless walk away
Yes. Toothless answered If anything arises, send them to me. I'll deal with it.
Aye, Toothless. Cloudjumpper said with a slight bow as he two waked the other way, smiling to himself on Toothless' success in finding a possible mate. He was happy for his alpha. And it meant good for the nest too. A new line of Night Alpha's. Their offspring would rule after them and the peace that they enjoy will continue for generations to come.
Yes. This is a very good thing indeed.
And there we are! Hope you enjoyed it! Let me know in a review or p.m. Thanks!
