Razor: Hello all happy people. It's another chapter for How to Train Your Dragon- Let the games begin!
Nuse: It's becoming really awesome because me and Razor are paying attention to each detail.
Night Eve: And coming up with outrageous ideas. Who would ever think about eating a Pinecone?
Bahirebishiek: I did once, by accident.
Ninja: How did you eat one accidentally.
Bahirebishiek: I have no idea. I picked up a pinecone and i ate it because i thought it was chocolate.
Nuse: So how does i taste?
Bahirebishiek: Crunch. Not half-bad if you ask me.
Razor: That's...nice to know. Anyways, enjoy the chapter.
Night Eve: Razor does not own HTTYD.
Ninja: You are one disgusting person, Abhi.
Bahirebishiek: What? Who could blame me, i was only five!
Nuse: But don't you have a limit on what you can or cannot eat?
Bahirebishiek: What limit?
Razor: O.O;
A few days had passed since Hiccup went missing after the wyren attacked. They left the cave with all of them in total despair. They went out of a different way than they had entered. They were at a lower level and there was a half frozen lake that stretched out before them. They made a meager camp. Without Hiccup to lead them, they didn't know what to do. They would all argue like Ruffnut and Tuffnut. Toothless entered depression, when Astrid or anyone else looked in his eyes, they knew what he wanted.
On the afternoon of the third day, Ruffnut and Fishlegs went out to a part of the woods to gather sticks for their measly fire going on. They had walked a while before Fishlegs decided to speak.
"It's different without Hiccup." said Fishlegs miserably.
"Oh really, you big oaf." replied Ruffnut quiet harshly and rash. She missed Hiccup too. She had a slight crush on him before, but when he fell for Astrid part of her died inside. She ignored this pain and replaced her crush with a friendship she will never have again. She coutinued to pout until she tripped over a log.
"Stupid log." said Ruffnut. She gave a weak kick at it. Walking and lack of food depleted her strength. Ruffnut didn't see it because she was giving ridiculous comments about the log. Fishlegs did see it. Ever so slightly, he saw the log move.
"Hey it's not a log. It's a person." said Fishlegs. "Looks like a dead one too."
"A person? What would a person go out here on his own in this weather and condition?"
"But we are." Ruffnut punched him in his arm.
"Ow!" Fishlegs yelped and looked guiltily at Ruffnut.
"Let's see who this person is…" said Ruffnut. She bent over and brushed the snow from the person's face. It was a small person, very thin and cold. His skin had turned blue and he looked dead, but if you are an observant person, you might see the slight movement of his breathing. Ruffnut and Fishlegs looked at the face in total awe.
"Oh my Thor!" shouted Ruffnut. Fishlegs fell over.
"It-it-it's…."
The two Viking teens looked at each other in excitement.
ONE DAY EARLIER
Hiccup awoke again. He was very cold and could barely function his leg. He looked above. There was tons of scattered winter trees surrounding the area. He sat up with his good arm. He remembered in a jerking motion that his arm was still in a sling and dislocated as ever. He had recovered from the hallucinations and almost completely forgotten about them, however, they continued to return to him as flashbacks. He looked at his fake leg, cleanly snapped in half.
"Oh great." he muttered.
The fake leg had snapped in half because of the strain, but why was the cut so neat? He looked closer. He saw that his fake leg did not snap because of strain, but someone had cut it. Cut it?
"Why would someone cut my leg, there was nothing but wyrens back there…" thought Hiccup. He knew he was in no condition to walk because of his dislocated arm and his fake leg cut in half. He looked down and saw a lake, frozen perhaps, but still water. Hiccup was very thirsty so he took a handful of snow and ate it. It wasn't much help because it made him thirstier and he didn't like the cold sloshing in his throat, but it was better than nothing. He looked around for something to eat, but there was nothing. Frustrated, he picked up a nearby rock and threw it a tree. The tree was weakened by the wind and a couple of pine cones fell down followed by a huge tree branch. Hiccup flinched when the huge branch fell to the ground.
"Is there anything to eat around here?" thought Hiccup. "All I see is trees. No fruit. There probably fish in that half-frozen lake, but it's a long way from here. What to do…"
Hiccup looked around until a pinecone caught in the corner of his eye. He picked it up. He pondered awhile if he should eat it.
"Eat it? Don't eat it? Oh the things I do for survival" muttered Hiccup.
He took a bite out of the pinecone. It tasted like the forest and not half-bad. It was very crunchy and hard to swallow. When Hiccup swallowed the first bite, he started to feel better.
"This is worse than when Toothless tried to feed me his fish that he regurgitated." thought Hiccup taking another tough bite from the pinecone.
After he had eaten about two pinecones, his stomach quieted down. He didn't like pinecones and would very much rather eat Toothless' regurgitated raw fish.
"Toothless…what are you doing now? I hope you're okay, buddy. Keep the others safe until I find you." thought Hiccup.
There was a downhill slope to the direction of the half-frozen lake. He attempted to stand up a couple times but all the time failed. There was no use. He was just about to give up when he saw the broken branch. An idea popped into Hiccup's brain and he shifted towards the huge branch. It took a couple of grabs to grab it since his finger and hands were so numb. He clambered on it and inched it forward a couple times until he was in front of the downward slope.
"Okay, let's see if this works." said Hiccup giving one final shove an the branch came hurling down the downslope. "Woaahhh!"
Hiccup hung on as the branch and Hiccup sled down the downslope in the direction of the half-frozen lake.
IN THE PRESENT
Astrid and Tuffnut managed to catch a medium sized pile of fish. They piled the fish and divided it up equally. The Viking teens shared 6 fish while the dragons each got 2 fish, but 4 fishes for the Zippleback. The dragons gladly accepted their food and gobbled it up very quickly. Toothless ignored his food until Astrid managed to get him to eat half of a fish. The fire was dying out so they couldn't cook the fish until Ruffnut and Fishlegs got back.
"This sucks. I'm so hungry." muttered Snoutlout.
"We're stuck in a very big snowy mountain, what you expected?" retorted Tuffnut. Astrid was still by Toothless' side, trying to convince him to eat when she heard shouting in the distance.
"Hey! Guys!" Ruffnut came running over with a giant branch followed by an eager Fishlegs holding a figure in his arms.
"Look who we found!" shouted Fishlegs. In his back, he held a half-dead person dangling from his arms.
Toothless' head popped up. He smelled a very familiar odor. He turned around and looked at Fishlegs who was holding the figure, too mangled to recognize. Toothless raced towards Fishlegs, startling everybody, including Fishlegs who dropped the person on the snow. Toothless happily pounced on the person, licking his warm red tongue on his face. After a few moments, the person's eyes opened and he looked up at the happy Night Fury. The person smiled and opened his mouth to say something.
"Well hello, buddy."
IN THE PAST
Hiccup raced down the hill and he had to figure out how to control the increasingly speeding branch. It was a bit like driving Toothless which he is an expert at. He used his good leg, which was a bit different because he always used his fake leg to steer, to steer himself around the mounds of snow and rocks sticking in his way.
"Wooohooo!" shouted Hiccup. He imagined that he was riding Toothless again, it was so much fun. He and his friends should try it sometime!
"My friends…where are they? Did something bad happen to them? Did Toothless fail to protect them?" thought Hiccup.
He was distracted for a second and was not paying attention to the huge jutting rock. Realized at the last second, but it was too late. He and the branch were tossed into the air a few meters away. He landed with a grunt on the snow. He was so close to the half-frozen lake, but yet so far. He was too tired to try any more stunts like this.
"This never happened with Toothless and I, hasn't it?" thought Hiccup.
He thought about his best friend Toothless for a while. He missed his dragon, he really did and…Astrid. He missed Astrid too. He missed her warm hugs and kisses. He felt awkward for a second before thinking about the rest of his friends. Ruffnut and Tuffnut, the annoying twins, they would not stop arguing for at least ten seconds when they started. Fishlegs was all brainy, always studying something about dragons or something smart that he didn't understand. Snoutlout always liked to pretend to be brave, when actually he wasn't really at all. Then he started to think about Antonia. He had only met her briefly, she had revived him from a storm and found all his friends. She was dead for sure…or is she? Hiccup didn't know if Antonia ever survived that attack, but he didn't think anyone would be alive after all that. He thought about his father, Stoick the Vast. He missed his comments and even missed being scolded by him. He really loved his father, he was the only family member he had. Snoutlout was his cousin, but he wasn't that close to him. He didn't remember who his mother was either.
These thought wandered around Hiccup's mind when he decided to fall asleep in the middle of the snow. It wasn't a very good idea, but he knew there nothing he could do anyways. He curled up to preserve body heat. He closed his eyes and almost swore he heard distant shouting. His friends? Maybe he was just hallucinating again.
IN THE PRESENT
The gangs were all very happy. They had found a person who was mistaken to be a log by Ruffnut and it turned out to be the person they least expected it to be. It was Hiccup. The gang was so overjoyed. Toothless would not stop licking Hiccup until his frozen skin became sticky with dragon saliva. Hiccup kept laughing while everyone else cried with joy. Snoutlout shed some tears, hugging Hookfang. Tuffnut and Ruffnut repeatedly gave each other high fives. Fishlegs hugged Meatlug and would not let go. Astrid ran over to Hiccup and hugged the sticky boy covered with dragon saliva. She punched him.
"Hey!" protested Hiccup.
"That's for scaring me." said Astrid scolding. She was delighted to see Hiccup alive and well.
"You know, this is not really the best time to be hitting-" Astrid leaned forward and gave a kiss to him.
"That's for everything else."
"You know…I did get used to it." said Hiccup smiling.
