Chapter 7
Alvin's return.
Ariya roared at the man who was her father and charged at him. Fury growled as flames licked the dragons flank. Yet to the mans surprise the flames didn't harm them.
"How?"
"I thought everyone knew dragons were fireproof." Hiccup said suddenly realizing why they were...probably to protect them from Fury. Rai smiled as brightly as she could through her pain.
"Yes well I'm sure they aren't immune to steel." Fury said pulling out a long blade. Ariya jumped back avoiding the dark blade as it sprouted flame. It was slashed upward toward her heart.
Rai pulled out her own weapons and blocked the slash meant for Toothless who was busy protecting Hiccup from the flames of the blade.
"Never again will you bother us. I never want to see you or I will kill you." Rai said.
"Yes well this time I've grown smart. I've gotten friends." Fury snapped his fingers a bird landed not to far away from them. The bird changed into the god of trickery Loki. He smiled and bowed.
"I'm afraid your fight with death has finally ended Rai goddess of Lightning." Loki smiled as they were surrounded by Alvin, Loki, and Fury.
"Loki...run now and I'll let you live." Rai panted out through parched lips. Her whole body was sweaty with fever.
'Rai?' Hiccup called to her. 'Lets run, your going to hurt yourself more if we stay longer.' Hiccup said Toothless roared in response to Hiccups plea.
'Listen to the small one mother.' Ariya asked and gasped when Loki ran at the Night Fury trying to get at Hiccup. Toothless growled swinging his massive tail at the god. Loki jumped back and growled his own opal colored eyes swimming with gold. The white dragon roared and swung her own tail. It wasn't as impressive as Toothless' nor as big but it did hit its mark knocking Loki into the fire that was caused by the lightning.
Hiccup spotted Alvin walking up behind his guardian and did what he knew how to do. He picked up a huge stick and ran forward and hit Alvin in the back of the head while Toothless grabbed the now Unconscious man and tossed him into the trees where Loki was emerging.
Rai smiled at Fury. Although instead of a defeated look Fury smiled at her and bowed. "As good an challenge as always my love. Till we meet again." He bowed to Hiccup. "You've amazed me human...care for my son won't you?" He said disappearing in a plume of smoke.
"Where did he go?" Hiccup asked looking around at Rai who looked at Hiccup and shrugged which caused a huge bout of pain to run through her. Hiccup ran forward to help her stand only to be shoved over to Toothless who steadied the boy from falling or tripping over his fake leg.
"Why did you not listen?" Rai asked holding her shoulder. "You could have died! I am a goddess...your healer knows nothing of our healing abilities!" Rai said and grabbed Hiccup by the scruff of his shirt and pulled him close. "I almost lost you." Hiccup looked into the goddess's eyes seeing tears stream down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry Rai...Rai?" The goddess slumped over in Hiccups arms which being his scrawny self resulted in her laying on the ground and him sitting down with her head in his lap.
'You may place her on my back brothers. I will fly her to your home.' Ariya said. Hiccup looked at the dragon.
'Who are you? What sort of dragon are you?' Hiccup asked.
'I am Ariya. I am a Daydreamer or a female Night Fury.' Ariya said and nuzzled the sleeping goddess as she breathed easier. Toothless using his teeth to pick up Rai by her armored backing and placed her onto Ariyas back.
'I've never seen a female night fury before Toothless is the only night fury I've seen at all.' Hiccup admitted. He blinked and looked at them. 'Does that mean your almost extinct?'
Toothless and Ariya blinked and looked around at Hiccup again and both shaking there heads. 'Not at all brother we are just well hidden and prefur to come out when it best suits our coverings. Night...or day.
'Would you like me to fly you home little one?' Ariya asked Toothless growled at Ariya and walked over to Hiccup grabbing the back over his bearskin vest.
'Mine.' Toothless simply said. Hiccup huffed
'I wouldn't have taken the offer buddy.' Hiccup admitted and looked up or at least attempted to look over his vest into those green eyes of his. Toothless put him down and nuzzled Hiccup while making crooning and purring noises. Hiccup jumped onto his snout hugging him. 'Mine too' He said and heard a soft chuckle that sounded like bells ringing. Hiccup looked around at Ariya who seemed to be giggling.
'How precious. Keep hold on that human brother...there aren't many like him.'
'And you'll never have him.' Toothless said only to get a hiss in response from the female.

~A few Days Later~
Rai moaned as she rolled over and opened her eyes to an opened window. Cold air was coming into the room. It wipped over her face like a soft feather.
'You have woken mother?' Toothless' voice echoed in her head like it would normally do when she had to much to drink or was sick.
'Yes...' it took so much effort to even say that.
'I will inform brother. You haven't eaten since. My Hiccup was very scared you weren't going to waken.' His voice was lowered so not to harm her head to much.
'He'll never understand gods.'
'In a world of mortals mother...specially where there is a lot of death...the fear is there no matter what you are.' Toothless said.
'I see...' Rai said up slowly.
'My Hiccup is in the forge...I shall bring you breakfast.' Toothless said.
'No you won't...I will. She is after all /my/ rider.' Ariya's voice quipped.
'Sit down your not aloud in the house.' Toothless growled.
'I care not where I am aloud I go where ever she goes...'
The babble went on until Rai couldn't hear anymore. She figured she'd get some more sleep...since she wasn't going to be fed any time soon.
Authors Notes: There we go completed...although yes expect more. Imma end up doing a set of drabbles so you can better understand Rai.
