Trust chapter 5

Loki had been wandering around the island for the past 40 minutes. It had been over an hour since Hiccup had left the camp. Loki had started to get worried so he had decided to go looking for him but had no idea where to look. He was new to this island and couldn't figure out where Hiccup would go so he had decided to wander around aimlessly. He had wandered into a forest ten minutes ago. He had disliked it ever since he had entered and found a quick exit after a few minutes of being in there.

He heard a loud roar from the forest no more than a few minutes after he had left. A good thing he did leave for whatever is in there sounds angry. Most likely something coming onto its land…Hiccup. It was then that a loud scream echoed through the forest. He raced back into the forest, trying to find the location of the noise. The forest making the scream echo. Unable to pin point the noise, he decided to run in its general direction.

Through the trees, he could see an object fly into a tree with enough force to crack the bark. When he got close enough he could tell that the object was toothless. He could also see that a dragon stalking towards him. He looked back to Hiccup and he wasn't getting up. Why the hel wasn't he getting up? He started to run faster and collided with the side of the dragon, knocking both him and the dragon into a tree.

The dragon quickly got back to its feet and glared at Loki, who had gotten up just as quickly and positioned himself in front of Hiccup.

'How dare you. This land is mine, little dragon. Get your own prey.' He hissed out.

'This human is not my prey but my companion. I will be taking him and you will be on your way.' Loki hissed back, with as much venom as he could muster. It was hard for him to not show the worry in his voice.

'I don't think so. I will not allow some filthy human on my land.' He lunged to the side in an attempted to reach Hiccup but Loki jumped in his way, connecting head on with the dragon. They began to bite and rip at each other's scaly flesh. The dragon grabbed onto Loki's neck intending to fling him off when Loki's clawed foot connected with the dragons soft underbelly. The dragon reared back, snarling in pain, releasing Loki's neck. He stumbled back into a protective crouch in front of Hiccup. He would not allow some worthless piece of dragon harm Hiccup.

'How dare you call me worthless. Compared to me, you are nothing.' The dragon roared as Loki's less than cancelled thoughts were heard by the dragon.

Loki laughed at the other dragons rage, 'Oops, did I think that out loud? My bad.' Loki said sarcastically. Faster than the dragon could see, Loki flung himself onto the dragon. He began to scratch, claw, and bite at the dragons body where ever he could reach. There was nothing else for him to do. The dragon was bigger and stronger, the only way for him to have a chance is to use his speed and even that was a long shot.

The dragon began to buck, trying to knock Loki of. He ran into a tree, trapping Loki in between him and the tree. Leaning all his weight into Loki, crushing him into the tree. Loki could here bones snapping under the weight. In an attempt to release himself, he shot fire from his mouth, connecting with the dragons face causing him to rear back. Loki quickly stumbles away. He realized he is bleeding from the neck from when the dragon had bitten him. He doesn't know how much longer he can keep this up.

He looked to Hiccup and sees that he is out cold. Loki then makes a decision, the only way to save Hiccup. He taps into his magic and shifts into his Aesir form. The dragon looks at him in stunned confusion. Loki raises his hand, casting a spell and the dragon erupts into flame. He can here the others screams but ignores it as he rushes to Hiccup.

He kneels down beside him. Blood is coming from his head. If he was not as injured as he was or already used magic to obliterate the dragon, he would have been able to heal Hiccup. His magic depended on his health and the amount he stored in him. He had natural healing abilities but would have trouble in healing the other.

Loki then looked himself over. He had a bleeding neck, broken ribs, and gashes along his back and sides. He was far too injured to heal someone else. His magic was also almost depleted. Having to stay in a dragon form took up magic along with using the spell against the dragon and it was too far from Berk to fly. It would take hours and Hiccup barely had 10 minutes before he would bleed to death.

Loki was starting to feel faint from his own blood lose and his self healing ability was forcing him into an unconscious healing state. He put his hand against the tree that Hiccup was up against as his vision began to blur. If his self healing could save his own life then it could save Hiccup. With that decided he forced his self healing to stop. He concentrated on the hand that was behind Hiccups head and force the healing into him. After Loki was sure that he had stopped the bleeding from all of the wounds on Hiccups body, he removed his hand. He slumped down next to Hiccup with his back against the tree.

Unable to focus on anything else, he looked to the charred body of the dragon. He was exhausted and felt the effects of removing the healing from himself. He looked up into the sky. Wishing he could see his brother one last time. He felt tired, so very tired. He closed his eyes and soon drifted off into nothingness.
