Hey guys! Sorry for this repost but we know we are going to have M rated content in the future such as blood and gore and other things but we are determining between chapter notices or just changing Mind And Hearts rating all together so we are going to change the rating for week aand see how it effects us.
Hiccup's POV
"Wake up! Its time to go eat!" Hildegard walked in and clapped her hands. We had all fallen asleep.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I whined and rolled over, in an attempt to shut out Hildegard. I was too tired to wake up. Wait, was it time to eat already?
I got an answer from my stomach. It gurgled and hurt.
Ugh, fine. I'll get up. Wait a moment… do I have to fish for myself? Because that could be a problem for me… I babbled.
"Oh no! You don't have to fish here! Blizzard takes care of meals for us." Hildegard smiled happily.
What? How is that possible. Toothless asked groggily as he lifted his head from the ground.
"You'll see! Now get up off your lazy bum and lets go!" Hildegard smiled at us and then quickly turned to Cloudjumper. Toothless put his head down slowly, getting ready to go back to sleep. "CLOUDJUMPER!" Hildegard yelled and swiftly kicked Cloudjumper. At her yell, Toothless yanked his head up.
Up, ready, and reporting for duty Hildegard. Cloudjumper groggily got up and said this cyclically .
"Lets go." Hildegard jumped up on Cloudjumper's back and started off. I was so surprised she took off so fast that I could barely follow her. I stumbled off the ground and muzzily flew after her, Toothless not far behind me.
We came to open ocean when she stopped. I was confused. Why were we just over ocean? I really didn't want to fish. I already said I didn't want to fish, and I was assured we weren't going to be fishing for ourselves. I mentally moaned at the thought.
Umm, this isn't bearing any food so… I trailed off.
"Oh no, it will." Hildegard smiled. She stood up on Cloudjumper's back and swung her stick around. It made a loud crashing sound, and the waves below us started to form a whirlpool.
Oh my Odin, what's going on? I asked the sky, but as usual, I got no answer from the heavens.
"It's fine!" Hildegard shouted. At that moment, Blizzard the alpha burst forth from the water.
He opened his mouth, and out of it came thousands and thousands of fish ends. Like, fish butts.
Are we supposed to eat this? Toothless asked Hildegard.
"What? Is it not what you expected?" Hildegard's smiled faded for just a moment. Toothless noticed and answered quickly.
No. No it was not. Toothless said quickly.
"How come?" Hildegard's smile hadn't returned, but a frown had not taken its place. Just a look of slight confusion crossed her face.
The Red Death was a real Gooseberry. Toothless cursed at the alpha near Berk.
"Oh. Well, Blizzard is an amazing fisher. He protects everyone." Hildegard smiled as she talked about Blizzard. She really loves that alpha, I thought to myself.
Toothless flew around and caught a few fish in the air. I decided to do the same.
The fish were very good. I had eaten raw fish before as a dragon, and they always tasted bland and dry to me, but these fish tasted like the cooked fish back when I was a person. They were flavored and everything! It was like eating gingerbread as a human, a special treat.
These fish are amazing! I said happily, and took another fish from the sky to start chewing.
"I know. Blizzard's spit really soaked into these fish today." Hildegard grinned as she said this. I dropped my mouth open in horror at this. I was eating fish, soaked in another dragon's saliva? EW!
Tell Blizzard his spit is delicious! Toothless grabbed another fish and swallowed it. I shuddered at him. Toothless was willing to eat other dragon's spit? That he didn't know or trust? This was crazy.
Food! Gavin came flying out of the cave we flew out of and grabbed another fish in midair.
Cod for dinner? Thank you! Feather zoomed out behind him. I flew over to Feather and whispered in her ear.
Why are we all so happy about eating dragon-saliva-soaked fish? I asked.
Its a normal thing for dragons to eat fish another dragon wont. This often means the fish are covered in spit. Its normal and sanitary, don't worry about it. Feather whispered back.
Okay. I said shakily. Okay. I can do this. Its fine and normal and sanitary. I said again, more confident. I grabbed a fish out of the sky.
It still tasted amazing. I was getting full.
Time to go to bed. I'm fuller than a volcano! Toothless pointed to his stomach after we all met up in a circle.
But aren't volcanos…Gavin started to reason with Toothless, which i knew was never going to work.
Don't question my expressions! Toothless shot back at Gavin, even though Gavin never meant any harm.
Can we just go to bed now? I whined. I was tired and full. And everyone knew that I did NOTHING when I was tired.
Yes! Lets. Feather said. She started to fly off to where we were napping earlier, and we all followed. Even Cloudjumper and Hildegard came with us.
Toothless' POV
Why do you always snap at dragons? I think you could start hurting their feelings. You're too stubborn. Hiccup confronted me when we got back to where we were planning to sleep for the night.
I don't mean to. Its my nature. I said simply. And it was the truth. I rolled over in an attempt to show that I wanted to sleep.
Feather, what does that mean? Hiccup asked Feather specifically.
Night Fury's are naturally a bit stubborn. Some more than others. Like Toothless is more than others. She explained. Except, Hiccup was a bit of an exception.
I can still hear you, even if I can't see you. I called over my shoulder.
Well, you can't see my imitation of you. Hiccup said. I assume she then did it because a large eruption of laughter took place behind me. I whipped my body and head around to see it. She had stopped by that time.
Oh, you just missed it. Cloudjumper's deep voice hid a bit of laughter he must have been trying to hold back.
It was pretty great. It looked just like you. Gavin smiled and laughed a little.
See Hiccup? If we're teaching you things different dragons are prone to do, we should mention Nadders. I said smugly. Feather shifted slightly.
But we aren't typical Nadders. We don't care about looks.She shot a look at me, as if to tell me to be quiet. She's scared of me, I thought. She didn't want me to tell Hiccup the faults of her species, but she got to know the faults of our species. How rude.
Nadders are EXTREMELY vain and self conscious. I said, revealing the couple's weaker spots.
We are not self conscious. Okay, maybe Gavin is, Feather said this quickly, and Gavin spoke over her.
Hey! He argued.
But that's not his fault. Anyway, Terrors are really greedy and they are categorized as the weakest and lowest class dragons. She was clearly trying just to teach Hiccup about dragons. I wasn't trying to do that.
And Nightmares are very bossy. Gavin added, trying to be helpful.
I wouldn't have guessed. Hiccup rolled her eyes. I knew who she was thinking of: Hookfang. He was a jerk.
Look, why don't we just have her meet other dragons and let her form her own opinions about them? Cloudjumper asked. Even not knowing her history, he knew how to handle teaching her. I decided to make a joke.
Because we must cast our opinions on to her! I made my voice deep when I said this, but it was only a joke. Feather smiled easily and Gavin laughed heartily.
Alright, alright! Enough of dragon stereotype class for tonight! I'm going to bed. Hiccup turned over. Everyone else followed suit and got comfortable. Cloudjumper and Hildegard got up and flew off somewhere, not forgetting to tell us "goodnight".
Goodnight! The rest of us shouted to each other in unison. We had all really grown together. It was nice, I supposed, to be part of a bigger family than just Hiccup and me.
Hiccup's POV
Hiccup? I heard a voice over me, but I was asleep and trying to stay that way.
Hiccup. I could tell it was Toothless now, and I decided to just play it off like I was asleep.
HICCUP! He yelled in my ear, and I got up to yell at him.
WHAT DO YOU WANT? I asked impatiently, being loud enough to show my anger but quiet enough not to wake anyone else.
I can't sleep. He said and he rubbed his eye and yawned.
So why did you wake me up? I narrowed my eyes, so not to let in as much sunlight.
I needed a friend. He said quietly. Was he trying to make me feel bad about being mad at him? I wasn't about to feel bad about that. He woke me up, after all.
Go talk to Cloudjumper then. He's probably awake. I turned over.
But I want you to be that friend. Toothless said. I was too tired to be touched by his sentiment.
How touching. Lets go get something to eat. I got up, staggered for a few steps, and took off.
He followed me, and we went where we were yesterday for dinner.
More fish? I asked, unenthused.
Unless you have another suggestion. Toothless gave me his signature smile.
How about… a deer? I asked, eager to taste one. Little did I know that I didn't like deer.
That's a bit too hard to catch. Toothless admitted.
Ah. Rodents? I suggested, not wanting to eat fish. It was the only dragon food I'd ever had, and I was bored of it.
You? You want to eat a rodent? Last time I ate one, I barfed in your bag. Toothless laughed for a little, until he saw my face.
YOU did that? I roared.
Maybe… He said quietly.
TOOTHLESS! I yelled.
Sorry! It wasn't my fault, I swear! I was in the house, and Stoick shoved the bag over my mouth so he wouldn't have to clean up afterwards! He laughed a little, and I slapped him. He just kept laughing. So I kept slapping.
That's so nasty and rude! How could you? I roared, but he was snorting and giggling too loud to hear me, let alone shut up.
Okay! OKAY! I got it. I'm sorry. Toothless surrendered to me. I slapped him one last time.
OW! Why'd you do that? Toothless rubbed the sore spot where I had slapped him repeatedly.
I need something to do for fun. I said quietly.
Hey! But, umm, I have a question. Do you like it here? Toothless asked me, his pupils going wide.
Yes, but… I trailed off, unsure of how I could put my thoughts. I loved it here, but I liked it better in the peace of our island. It was quieter and more relaxed. Like a vacation every day. Where I could catch up on my sleep.
Do you want to go back? Toothless asked me. I wasn't sure where he wanted to go back to.
To where?
The island. He said matter-of-factly, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
A little. I admitted.
Then let's go! He said. He wanted to go home, too. That was our new home, I guessed. We had spent a lot of time there.
But what about Feather and Gavin? I asked, still unsure of going back. I needed a reason to stay here a little while longer.
We'll leave them a note. He said simply.
Okay then. Lets go back. I smiled, feeling warmly about going home.
Sunstreak's POV
Do you actually think it could be him?! I squinted at the tapestry hanging outside of the Viking village. It looked like him, it had to be.
I don't know, but I think we should track whoever he is down. Moonblaze said.
Agreed, are the twins coming? I asked. We both knew this would be a very popular subject with them.
Sure, I think they would like the adventure. Moonblaze smiled.
Alright, I'll get them up and we will leave immediately. I turned around to alert twins, who were resting back further in the forest.
If it is him, we will want them to be there to see his misery come to an end. We smiled at the thought of having our hopes and dreams come true.
~Turtle's A/N
This was short! We're publishing early, and we're really planning out the next chapter before its time. Which is weird for us, since Karter is always like "No, we shall not plan the future. Don't use units of time! Grrrrr."* First of all we are publishing early so we DON'T plan ahead and time just takes away from the feel of the universe they are in! XD ~Karter (See?) And so on. He's been on Bacon and Will a lot for editing chapters, so yeah. I got back from vacation, and now I'm really tired. But I skied and I rode horses and all that jazz. I tried to learn how to play ping pong. Based on how bad my coordination is, that didn't go too well. I'm going to see Insurgent tomorrow LUCKY DAUGHTER OF THOR! ~Karter and I'm so excited! Enjoy this short chapter if you can, because the next few will be really long. Talk to you whenever.
I need to end with a quote or something to make someone (Karter) happy. So, here goes. "Push up your nerd glasses and move ON with your life!" ~Turtle *...Ok… eh whatever its you! Be yourself and dont be ashamed of it! ~Karter Like seriously? You tell me to end with me, myself and I, and you butt in? Unbelievable. * It was a compliment though :( ~Karter You know I don't do compliments. Whatever. "Go fudge yourself."~Turtle … I'm just going to slowly back away now XD… ~Karter
~Bigs' A/N
