Chapter 4

Louder and closer the sound of footsteps but it fades away swiftly. Then, a door was sounding like it was closing. Jeremy wakes up finding himself lying on his own bed. He feels a bit pain on his head but he can endure it. His mother was sitting beside him, looking very worried. Astrid kisses his forehead and asked if he is fine. He slowly pulls himself up, sits upright and gently nods his head to answer his mother. Then, held his mother's hand and hugged her. He looked at her with the eyes of a child, seeking for the lost warmth of a hug. Astrid was surprised. She wondered if Rinnelda was the one who has smoothen her son's icy heart.

"Where's Rin, Mum? I mean Rinnelda. Is she fine?"

"Don't worry, she's fine. I'll go and get her."

"Mum, I'll go. She'll feel better if sees me walking." Jeremy was very insisted to see her although he knows that she is fine.

"But you're just… Okay, if you insist, let's go then."

"Thanks a lot, Mum."

"The guards had caught the culprits that had injured you. They will be sent to the Dark Dungeons."

"Mum, don't be too harsh on them. They were drunk so they can't think clearly what they had done."

"We'll talk about this with your Dad later. Now, let's meet King Craig."

Jeremy slowly walks to the Great Hall where all of them had gather. Rinnelda was sitting alone at a corner. She was looking dreadfully worry. When she saw Jeremy walked in, she was delighted and hugged him. He was also happy that Rinnelda was safe. Hiccup and Craig were talking while the others were worrying about Jeremy. They were busy talking about the trade route that they had forgot what had happen.

"Dad, how's things?"

"Son, are you fine? I was just talking about our trading with King Craig." Hiccup somehow seems to be worried too.

"I'm fine. I felt a bit strange today. I felt like I'm going to do something impossible."

"Impossible?" Hiccup scrunches his forehead that indicates his blurriness.

Suddenly, the big door of the hallway opens and Maggie was wearing a pyjama with short pants. He was also wearing a joker's hat and his face is drawn by children who live in the farm. His mouth was coloured bright red by the children too. Not to forget, he was still holding a pillow. He rushes to the Great Hall because he said he had a dream telling him that something is going to happen today. All of the people who heard and saw him, laugh until their belly hurt; it was even funny to Hiccup and Craig. Both of them laughed and hit the table with their fist. The sound that they made was like the sound thunder. The birds flew away after being frightened by them. Maggie was a bit humiliated by his actions, even though his reputation as a Royal Tutor. Later, their eyes were focused on Jeremy. He was crouching on the ground as if he was in pain.

"Jeremy, are you fine, my dear?!" Astrid was terribly worried.

"Please speak to us, Jeremiah!" Rinnelda was in the burst of crying.

"Hurry, call the doctors!" Hiccup commands.

Before Maggie could leave them, Jeremy stood up. He was giggling and laughing! All of them were shocked, especially Hiccup and Astrid.

"That's… That's the funniest outfit I ever saw in my entire life!"

Astrid immediately hugs her son and the tears of joy were falling from her eye. This was the first time that their son ever laughs. They were really surprised that how fast the changes that occur to Jeremy since Rinnelda came. Astrid thinks Rinnelda has the touch of an angel and she was sent by Athena to them. It was a miracle even the priest and the priestess in the kingdom would not even believe it was amazingly true! The truth was Rinnelda does have the touch of an angel. That was her Gift. It was passed down from her grandmother to her mum and to herself. She had a vision telling her to come to the land of the North.

"Thank you, mighty Goddess. You had fulfilled my wish." Jeremy muttered to himself.

Many years later, Jeremiah Stoick Haddock ruled a kingdom of his father's and ancestor's. The trades have increase since he married with the daughter of the kingdom of the East. He is also blessed with children and it was just the beginning of a more terrific things!
