This chapter is very very short and I apologize for that, but I promise that a new chapter is coming in two day if not tomorrow. Enjoy!

dracologistmaster: Why thank you *blushes* you have no idea how much a compliment like that means, especially since I hope to become a published author one day.
Hiccup found himself in the forge every moment of the day, fixing and changing the tail fin. Luckily for him Gobber was away in the Dragon arena all day, fixing it up for the start of this year's classes, the very classes Hiccup dreaded attending, the classes that would have made him ecstatic a mere year ago.
During this time he made quite a few advances, most apparent of all the dragon saddle. Now which Viking would be crazy enough to pair those words together, the entire archipelago would wonder.
He stopped working for a second and simply sat there absorbing the events of the last few days, the last five days had been so wild that he hadn't really paused for a second to just think, which was quite unusual for the likes of Hiccup.
If the soon to be dragon rider wasn't in the forge, he was out well, trying to ride dragons, a nightfury to be exact. All the flights had been fails so far, but there a two types of failure, not all is quite that bad you see. Luckily for Hiccup his failures were the good kind, the ones that steadily led him toward his grand breakthrough that was quickly approaching.
However, for the time being we must satisfy ourselves with the tale, not of his great achievement, but of one that will be essential in the coming days…
They crash landed once more the tail was still not quite right, he began to think of what he needed to change when he heard a large animal purring and thrashing around not five feet away. It was most definitely Toothless, and indeed it was. However the nightfury had never acted this way, the boy pondered the dragons actions and finally decided that it must have been the grass. This grass was different from the grass near the village, and the grass there wasn't even half as tall as this. He plucked a few pieces to study, maybe it could come in useful, it seemed to have a calming effect on dragons.
Hiccup sat in the cove Toothless curled up beside him, the boy petted the dragon half mindedly, the other half of his head far far away perched in the dragon's cage. The cage that held the two Vikings he wished to rescue. "Toothless," he murmured. The dragon's ears instantly perked up, and he cocked his head, "What is it Hiccup?" then the dragon starred guilty at the ground. "If this is about me throwing you off my tail yesterday, I'm sorry. Honestly I had no idea…" to Toothless's relief he was cut off, turned out it was something else. However the relief disappeared when he heard the despair and guilt in his human's tone.
"I need to rescue the two other Vikings," he sighed, during all these hours of planning and working he'd had refused to acknowledge the real reason he needed to bring Astrid and Fishlegs back. He didn't want to think about it…
Haha I feel so evil, sorry for the cliffie I couldn't resist. Anyway, sorry again for the short chapter this is a preparation chapter, the action is soon to come. I'm also sorry if the weird narrator style threw you off, I just could not resist, I find I rather like writing that way.
