Chapter XVIII

I felt some hot air on my face like someone was breathing near me. I heard a small growl and opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was a pair of big green eyes staring at me. When I fully opened my eyes I saw Toothless right in front of me. He was here. He was okay.

,,Oh, hey Toothless."I said and he started nuzzling and nudging me.

,, Okay, okay! I'm happy to see you too, bud. Now just...Awgh!" I let out when he stepped on my groin. I sat up immediately and then remember what happened. I looked around in shock.

,,I'm in my house." I said realising. I looked at Toothless who was leaning over me excited.

,,You're in my house?! Does my dad know you're here?" I asked panicking but he just started jumping around knocking things over.

,, No Toothless! Aw, come on..." but then I stopped. I felt something diferent. Actualy I couldn't feel anything. I looked down and saw why. I sat at the edge of my bed putting down my mechanical prosthetic leg. Toothless landed by the bed and approached calmly, sniffing my new leg. He raises his eyes to meet mine. He seemed aware of what I is going through. I braces myself on the bedpost and tried to stand on it. I winced and stifled the pain. I tired making a step but stubled. Luckly Toothless caught me before I fell down.

,,Thanks bud." I said and we headed to the door together. I let go of Toothless to open the door just to find a Monstrous Nightmare outside. I quickly closed them again in shock.

,,Whoa! You stay here." I said to Toothless. I cracked the door open to find none other than Snotlought on the Nightmare.

,,Come on guys, get ready! Here we go!" he said to a group of Vikings also riding dragons. Now that I looked around I saw dragons all over the place. They were on the ground, on the roofs, flying in the air and no one was trying to kill them.

,,I knew it, I'm dead." I thought out loud and then a laugh form my dad came next to me.

,,No but you gave it your best shoot. So? What do you think? It's a little cramped but we'll find a place for them to stay since the dragon island was destroyed. " he said putting an arm around me, gesturing at the village.

,,Don't wory dad. I think I know a perfect place for them to stay." I said with a smile remembering our little getaway paradise. I think it will be perfect for them.

,,Hey, look! It's Hiccup!" yelled someone and the next moment I was surounded by many Vikings.

,,Turns out all we needed was a little more of...this." dad said, gesturing.

,,You just gestured all of me." I said and he nodded with a proud smile.

,, Well. Most of you. That bit's my handiwork. With a little Hiccup flare thrown in. Think it'll do?" asked Gobber pointing at the mehanical leg.

,,I might make a few tweaks." I said making everyone laugh. The next thing I know I was being tackled by something big. When I looked up I saw Heartbeat licking my face.

,,That's for scaring the hell out of us." said Rina offering me a hand to stand up.

,,What the...?" I started but she shut me up pressing her lips on mine. It only lasted for a few seconds but it felt like an eternity.

,,I take full responsibility." I said smiling at her.

,,See Stoick. We didn't have to wory about a thing." said Gobber.

,,Yes it seems so. They get along better than ever." my dad agreed.

,,What are you guys talking about?" I asked a little confused.

,,Well you see, we kind of got you two engaged when you were little." said Gobber.

,,WHAT?!" everyone yelled.

,, We were planing to break it of since no one knew about it, but now I don't think we need to." said my dad winking at us. We stared wide-eyed. We looked at each other and started laughing with the others who were amused by our reaction.

Gobber handed Rina a rebuilt saddle, rigging, and tail which she gave to me.

,,Welcome home." she said hugging me. Right now my life couldn't be more perfect.

Suddenly, Toothless pounced on the crowd, crushing several unsuspecting Vikings under his weight landing next to Heartbeat.

,,Night Fury! Get down!" yelled someone. I guess old habits die hard.

Toothless eyed the new tail excitedly, wagging his tail. They both groan and grumble while Rina and I exchanged a sheepish grin. We knew exactly what they wanted.

We buckled up and my new foot snapped into the modified stirrup fitting in perfectly.

,,You ready?" I asked the three of them.

,,What do you think?" she said and we took off in extra speed.

This... is Berk. It snows nine months of the year and hails the other three. Any food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides are the pets. While other places have...ponies or parrots, we have... DRAGONS.
