And after a bit of a break, I'm back with Chapter 3! This is a shorter chapter than #2, but I have this story planned out to what I want to hit in each chapter, so please don't hate.

This chapter holds so interesting information and I've worked on this a lot, so please enjoy reading!

~**linebreak**~

(Toothless' POV)

I woke with a small whine, my head pounding from the rough landing that I received from the night before.

"Ugh, what happened? Hiccup are you-"

Fear washed over me when I found myself alone, Hiccup no where to be seen or smelt. Memory came back of the attack and Hiccup falling off, blood running down his face as he disappeared into the forest. Now he was lost in there and those… things were after him!

"I saw him fall, he couldn't be that far away!" I attempted to reason calmly with myself as I took off into the forest, trying to pick up some sense of Hiccup. "He couldn't be that far away, he can't be…."

I perked up when I caught a weak sent of a human. I couldn't really tell if it was Hiccup, but I rushed forward, breaking through the foliage. Jumping into a clearing, Gobber stumbled back in shock.

"Toothless, there you are!" Gobber exclaimed happily, looking behind me expectingly. I knew he was waiting for Hiccup to appear as well, my ears drooping when his smile fell away. "Where's Hiccup…."

"I don't know…." I whined, my head hanging.

~**linebreak**~

(Hiccup's POV)

I moaned weakly as I regained consciousness, head pounding, body sore from being stuck in an strange position all night. Opening my eyes slowly, I was confused seeing the sun poke through the thick foliage. Night was rising last I remembered… how long was I out?

"I wouldn't move if I were you mortal."

I jerked away when two wolves popped out of nowhere, both glaring. Shaking my head, then regretted it as the pain worsened, I looked around attempting to find someone close by. I mean, who else could have talked?

"H-How hard did I hit my head?" I moaned softly, rubbing my head, believing that I had begun to hear things.

"Hard human."

I stared, as neither had opened their mouths to speak, but I could hear someone talking to me.

"Are you… is it possible?'

"Very possible."

While my mind attempted to come to the realization that, indeed, wolves were talking to me somehow, I studied them closer. The wolf standing to the right was gray in color, fur ruffled as if it had just finished a fight. It's paws and muzzle were covered with something a deep red, some of the liquid dripping off, eyes holding the same red color. The other was pure black, fur sleek, laying perfectly with it's form. Sickly yellow eyes bore into me, appearing to judge me.

"Are you two… really talking?" I asked nervously.

"Indeed we are," the black bowed it's head, "I am Hati, my counterpart here is Skoll."

"The physical forms of human hatred and repulsion." I whispered, mind somewhere between awe and fear. "This can't be happening…."

"Well it is, so I suggest you get out of your little daze quickly," the gray named Skoll growled, "He's already missing a leg, I'm sure an arm won't hurt-"

"You're not eating him!" Hati growled to his counterpart.

"Eat me, w-why are you going to eat me? What's going on!?" I demanded, looking between the two.

Hati shook his head before looking back at me. "We have been sent by our master to retrieve you. He wishes to discuss something… delicate that apparently you are involved it…."

"Who… is your master?"

"Odin."

I laughed weakly in disbelief. "W-What, Odin, the ruler of all the Gods, wants to see me? What for, what could he possible-" I paused, my dreams coming into my mind. "Does this… have anything to do with the World Tree dying?"

Both wolves looked at each other, looking worried.

"How do you know about Yggdrasil." Skoll demanded, growling darkly.

"I keep having these dreams, it asked for my help. But I don't know what to do…. Do you think Odin-"

"We can't think freely for our master, but if you come, he'd be more than willing to listen." Hati said.

I frowned, thinking. This was getting a little be out of hand, now the Gods themselves were getting involved. Well, I guess it make sense as it is their job to protect us and the remaining worlds. But how much could I trust this, I'm going in this alone with no way to escape if things turned bad.

"I will go…. But only if Toothless comes with us. Otherwise, I'm not going."

"A dragon, those demons, are not allowed near our master." Skoll barked.

"I'm not going anywhere without Toothless."

"I do not take orders from mortals! Hati, take and arm, we're dragging him there!" Skoll stepped forward, teeth bared. Hati quickly jumped in front of Skoll, teeth showing as well.

"We are not allowed to harm him! Odin will have our heads if we bring him in with shredded arms!"

"And I'm not going with you if Toothless isn't with me." I crossed my arm, leaning against the root to get comfortable. "Guess we're not going anywhere any time soon."

Hati growled darkly, but didn't move. "If your dragon is allowed to come…."

"I'll follow, without argument."

"…Very well. Skoll will keep an eye on you, I will go find your dragon."

~**linebreak**~

(Toothless POV)

I whined softly as I watched the search parties returned empty handed, Gobber looking lost as well.

"It's alright Toothless, we'll fine him." Gobber said, petting my head gently. "It's not that big of an island and he's smart enough to know to stay put until we find him."

"I hope so" I said, which he only heard as a rumble.

"Want some fish, bet your hungry." He offered, but I turned away, eyes closing. I heard Gobber sigh in defeat. "Alright, try and cheer up Toothless. Try to cheer up a little, I know we'll find him."

I didn't reply, I didn't have the energy. He didn't understand, none of them did, Hiccup was in danger. If I didn't find him before they did-

I sat up, letting out a deep growl. They did this, they separated me from Hiccup. When I find those miserable hairballs, they'll be sorry….

My ears twitched to attention, hearing something running towards the camp at a great speed. Jumping up, I growled darkly at the approaching form, getting Gobber's attention.

"What is it Toothless?" He stood next to me, peering into the foliage. A sleek black wolf emerged, landing before me, yellow eyes narrowing.

"Hati." I growled darkly, Gobber stepping back slightly.

"Toothless, I presume." Hati replied cooly.

"Calm down, it's just a wolf Toothless." Gobber said, trying to calm me down.

"Rather dense human." Hati laughed softly.

"If he can't hear you speak, then he won't know any better." I argued.

"Your human can hear me just fine."

"You have Hiccup…. Where is he!" I roared, "I should tear you apart for what you did!"

"How would you find him then? Magic makes an amazing barrier."

"Which will go away if I kill you!"

"Doubtful, if Skoll is still with him."

"You left Hiccup alone with that blood-thirsty idiot!"

"He won't be harmed, we've made an agreement."

"…What sort of agreement…."

"He has agreed for us to take him to see Odin, but only if you come."

"What does Odin want with Hiccup."

"I'm not allowed to share. This is a matter between the human and my master."

I glared at Hati. "Hiccup has nothing to do with the World Tree."

"And yet the tree has been visiting him in his sleep."

I growled darkly; Hiccup, why did you tell them. "Is Odin going to help him, these dreams… they're hurting him, I know they are."

"I'm unable to know what my master will do," Hati answered, "Now, would you like to see your human?"

"…Lead the way."

We both ran off into the bushes, Gobber shouting my name as we disappeared into the foliage. I kept up with Skoll, letting him stay a little ahead to lead as we tore through the foliage.

"Don't even think about running human."

"I wouldn't really be able to get that far."

My heart hammered hearing Hiccup strait ahead, his scent becoming clear to me. Racing ahead, I broke through a wall of bushes and entered a small clearing, eyes landing on Hiccup instantly.

"Toothless!" He called out, standing, smile breaking across his face. I didn't answer, I didn't see the need to. Tackling him back to the ground, I nuzzled against his chest, purring happily. "I'm glad to see you too bud." He laughed softly.

"Now that you are reunited with your dragon, shall we go Hiccup." Hati asked, sitting next to Skoll. Hiccup calmed instantly, smiling fading, looking away from me.

"Yeah…."

"Don't push him," I growled darkly, "When he's ready, then we'll go."

"Time is of the essence dragon," Skoll growled, "Our master won't wait long."

"They're right Toothless," Hiccup laughed weakly, "Wouldn't want to keep the Lord of all Gods waiting."

I let out a whine of worry as Hiccup climbed onto my back; I heard his leg click into place.

"It's going to be ok buddy," he patted my head to comfort me, "Alright, I'm ready."

"Very well." Hati nodded.

"Try and keep up dragon."Skoll mocked.

~**linebreak**~

(Hiccup's POV)

I hear Toothless growl at Skoll's taunt before taking off, the two wolves following. I jumped when Hati appeared next to me, nothing more than a wolves head, the rest of his form a blur.

"Why is your leg missing Hiccup?" He asked.

"Oh um…. I battled against the Red Death with Toothless and we won. But I lost my leg in the process."

"And you can control Toothless, as he flies anyway."

"Um, yeah. See, I kind of knocked Toothless out of the air, damaging his tail fin. So I built the saddle and everything so I could help him fly again."

"But only if you are with him?"

"Well, I did build him a tail fin where he could fly alone. But he didn't really like the idea."

"I see…."

Before I could ask him why he wanted to know, Hati shot up and took his place right next to Skoll. The land and the sea below had disappeared, the colds surrounding us completely now.

"So… where are we going?" I asked.

"We're almost there Hiccup, don't worry." Hati replied.

"We're meeting them in the sky?"

"Yes mortal, we are," Skoll snapped, "Now quiet down, we're here."

I looked around, see in nothing but white clouds. My stomach churning as Toothless dove down, landing on one of the many clouds.

"H-How are we doing this?" I gripped the saddle tightly as we moved forward, "Where are we going?"

"It's alright, we're heading inside." Hati said. The next instant, he and Skoll diapered into the sky. I gasped softly as a veil washed over Toothless and I, the vast sky being replace by a long stone hallway.

"What…. Where are we?"

"A small meeting area. Just follow us, they're waiting." Hati replied, he and Skoll walking through the hallway.

Toothless followed, I could tell he was glaring at the wolves in front of us. The hallway suddenly opened up, a large room surrounding us, torches the only source of light. Before us stood a large platform, four people placed atop, staring down at us. Sitting on a large throne, a grizzle looking man glared down at me with one eye, the other hidden by a leather patch. He had black hair and beard, wearing a robes of blue and silver.

To his right stood a woman with red hair, green eyes, and pale skin, looking at me with concern. She was dressed with what appeared to be thin sheets of gold draped over her carefully, golden flowers placed in her hair.

To the opposite side stood two men, both looking about the same age of each other. One held short blonde hair, gray eyes, wearing robes of pure red, golden armor placed over them; he was looking at me with curiosity. The other also held gray eyes, but more cold then the other, black hair, and had robes of green and gold covering him, his face holding one of deepest digest as he looked at me.

I began to shake as the man from he throne stood, a long spear suddenly appearing in his hand.

"We have brought the one named Hiccup master." Hati and Skoll bowed low.

"You two have done well." the man spoke, voice deep and rich. "Please stand to the side." They did as they were told as he defended the stars, eyes narrowing onto me.

"Hiccup, please dismount, you have nothing to fear here." I did as I was told, keeping a hand on Toothless, looking at each person nervously. "Do you know who I am."

"…Odin." I answered weakly, eyes traveling to the woman. "And… you're Frigg…."

She smiled softly. "What a bright child…."

I faced the other two. "You're Thor," the blonde nodded, "and… Loki." The other sneered, but I just assumed that was a yes.

"Child, do you know why you are here." Odin spoke again.

"It's about Yggdrasil, right?"

"Indeed it is."

"You're going to help me find it?"

"Why would we show it to you mortal." Loki demanded.

"Because it keeps asking for my help, to heal it somehow. But I don't know where it is."

"It visits you?" Frigg asked, "How?"

"In my dreams. I've been having them for months now and they've been getting worse."

"Why would it come to you for help?" Thor asked.

"I don't know, I was hoping maybe you… could tell me."

"We have no answers…." Odin replied.

"My dear, don't think negative," Frigg spoke quickly, "The tree has gone to him, not the other way. He couldn't be responsible-"

"He rides a dragon, a Night Fury no less!" Loki interrupted, "His past speaks louder than his feeble attempt at innocents."

I stepped back slightly, Toothless blocking me from the Gods. Odin watched this in silence before his attention landed on my prosthetic leg.

"You lost your leg…."

"Battling against the Red Death…." I finished.

"Why would you do that."

"It was threatening my village and my friend."

"Friend?"

"Toothless."

"This is absurd! Father, don't listen to him!" Loki stormed down the steps, stopping next to Odin. "He's a mortal and what do they want the most? Power! He has control over a dragon, he's defeated a monster that even plagued us! Now he's destroying Yggdrasil! Why, for power! To overthrow you and become a God!"

"What, no!" I panicked, "I want to help, I want the dreams to stop!"

"A simple excuse, a pled, nothing more than a cover up."

"Enough!" Odin demanded, striking his staff down. The room filled with silence, the only thing I could hear was the furious beating of my heart. "Hiccup… what are you trying to accomplish."

"N-Nothing, I just want to help. I don't understand what's happening…."

"He lies." Loki hissed.

"I'm not lying! Please, I'm not tying to do anything wrong, I don't even know what's really happening! Yggdrasil keeps coming to me for help and I don't know what to do!"

"As soon as the Red Death fell, Yggdrasil quickly began to die. Something you were responsible for."

"Toothless helped me! I was trying to help my village and my friend, that's all!"

"Why is it that your dragon can't fly without you?" Loki sneered, "Like having that control over him?"

"No! I made him a tail fin so he could fly on his own, but he rejected it!"

"Excuses father, must have trained that dragon to think he needed the mortal, this is all he has."

"I'm not… I'm not doing anything wrong…. I just want to help!"

"I cannot allow that Hiccup," Odin said, "I must stop this before Yggdrasil falls into a worse state. Whether it's intentional or not, you've started theses chains of events."

"Father," Thor spoke cautiously, "what are you saying."

"In order for Yggdrasil to thrive again, I must end Hiccup's life."

My heart plummeted when I heard Odin's verdict, Toothless growling darkly.

"Father no!"

"There must be another way!" Thor and Frigg attempted to come to my defense, but were kept at bay by Hati and Skoll.

"I wouldn't fight this if I were you mortal," Loki advised, "It'll make it easier for everyone."

Odin had barely taken a step forward when Toothless fired, causing Odin to step away. Taking this chance, I mounted onto Toothless, taking off quickly down the stoned hallway. I winced as something cut into my right arm and landing into the wall in front of me, blood pouring out from the cut and dripping from Odin's spear. Reaching the exit, Toothless took to the skies, diving down to the lands below as quick as he could to find a place to hide. Looking back, I let out a sigh of relief finding no one following us.

An island quickly came into view, but I panicked seeing it was not the one we had left.

"Where are we…."

Spotting a small cave, Toothless landed and rushed inside, growling darkly back on the sky above. I dismounted, hissing slightly as I applied pressure to my right arm. I placed a hand over the cut, blood continuing to flow freely. I dressed it quickly, thankful that I hadn't lost my pack and supplies in all of this.

"Could this day get any weirder?" I laughed weakly, trying to make myself feel better. Toothless whined softly, laying next to me, looking up with concern. I sighed and laid my head on his, feeling absolutely lost. "What do we do Toothless…. We're lost, separated from Gobber, and being hunted by Odin."

I stood, pacing, Toothless watching me in worry.

"So I was right, leaving Berk did make everything worse…. But if I had stayed, would they have come for me anyway? I would have put the whole village in danger then. Gothi did say I had to leave, it's almost like I didn't have a choice. But she said I would find answers to everything. And all I've found out is that the people who could have possible helped me think I'm the problem." I gripped my forehead in frustration, thinking hard. "Odin said the World Tree started dying after Red Death was killed. But that's not a bad thing, so why would doing anything negative harm anything. And if it's true, how am I suppose to know!"

I was called back to my senses when Toothless let out a roar, glaring at me, silently telling me to calm down.

"I know, I know, freaking out won't help anything." I replied, looking out at the sky. The sun was beginning to set, some stars starting to come out. "I really wish I was home right now."

(Normal POV)

"You missed, how did you miss, you never miss!" Loki growled as Odin pulled his spear out from the wall.

"I wasn't aiming to kill…."

"Father, don't tell me you've gone soft."

"Of course not!" Odin defended, "But there's something about that boy, you must have felt it…. Something's different… I couldn't bring myself to end him."

"He's not to be trusted father, please believe. Next time we find him, we must end him and his beast."

"Yes, we must do something…."

"The end of one life, a small but is nothing if it means keeping the rest alive." Loki spoke calmly.

"But is this person you blame really the reason behind Yggdrasil's slow death?" Thor asked, intervening.

"What do you mean, it has to be him! That little mortal has broken a Night Fury! A monster like that under his control shows how dangerous he is!"

"He said the dragon was his friend, nothing more, no master and servant. If the dragon wasn't a friend, it would have no problem leaving the boy behind to be killed, it would be free. But as soon as the boy was threatened, the dragon defended him. That shows how kind-hearted this boy is if a dangerous beast is more than welling to protect him."

"Odin, you mustn't listen to Thor, he clearly doesn't see the danger-"

"There is not danger, that boy is innocent!"

"His involvement with the downfall of the Red Death is what triggered Yggdrasil's fall and he planned it!"

"No mortal could know that event coexisted, if they even do! We couldn't bring the downfall of that great beast, we should be grateful, not trying to kill him!"

"I suppose I must also pity you for not being able to bring it down yourself."

"You little-"

"Enough!" Odin demanded, Loki and Thor falling silent. "I will decide what to do next. Whether he was involved or not, he still needs to be found."

"Yes Odin." They replied, bowing as Odin passed them.

"Your words are false brother," Thor growled to Loki, "And I may not be able to show proof, but I do know that child is innocent. I'll find him before you."

"Just try to succeed, my trackers will find him again with ease." Loki scoffed, Skoll and Hati joining him.

"We shall see brother…."
