Chapter 6
Rescue

Hiccup stumbled in the forests, as he blindly walked through the forest. He doesn't care where he ran as long as it was away from his village.

Away from Astrid.

He can't believe that his plan actually worked. When everyone was sleeping, Hiccup was awake as he began to work on his plan. He decided to run away from his village so that no one will be infected by this incurable disease.

Hiccup was expecting for some chase from either by the dragons or by the mysterious people, but he didn't hear any footsteps or even flapping of wings, birds excluded.

He wondered on why the window was opened that night when he searched for it. He also noticed that he had more energy that he expected so escaping was easier than he ever expected.

Hiccup suddenly fell down on the ground when he got tripped by a root of a tree. He groaned but immediately got up and walked anywhere but behind him. He may be blind but he knew the forest like the back of his hand – if he could see them, anyway – but he did not recognize this part of the forest, which was good because he was going away from his village.

He constantly got tripped by something he cannot see or even know and also got knocked into something solid since he can't see where he was going.

Occasionally, he was coughing but he didn't throwing up blood. He did know that whenever he coughed or puke, RJ did the same thing at the same time he was. He knew that their symptoms were synchronized so he knew the pain RJ felt.

Hiccup doesn't know how long he had been walked, but he knew it was very long. He began to feel tired and hungry, and lonely. But he kept moving on, not slowing down.

Hiccup was already prepared to die, like how he faced the Red Death five years ago. But this time it was different. Five years ago, Hiccup didn't believe it was actually reality. That time, he thought he was dreaming and if he died, he will eventually wake up.

This time, he was wide awake and didn't think that this was a dream. This was reality. If he died, he will die. The difference between today and five years ago was how mentally prepared he was to die.

Five years ago, when he was facing the Red Death, he was wishing he would die so that he would wake up from his dream that turned out to be a reality. Today, he wasn't sure if he wanted to die. Sure, he wanted to die to save his people but at the same time he doesn't because of his father, Toothless…

…Astrid.

He wanted to live waking up beside her, feeling her soft hair through his finger, inhaling her sweet scent every morning and taste her delicious lips everyday, and then got assaulted by the said lips for three hours straight.

Also, getting the sweet mood ruined by Toothless thumping the roof. And then his father blast opened the door and asked them if they 'rock the bed' yet since he was begging for grandbabies.

Those very thoughts managed to make Hiccup breathed out a laugh. He certainly already missed them.

Suddenly Hiccup felt very weak and very tired. His legs suddenly gave out making him fell to the dirt ground. He was breathing slowly as he decided his final thoughts since he had no energy to speak.

'So this is it. My time is finally end. I'm going to die,' he thought. He then closed his eyes that streamed with tears. 'I'm sorry dad, for not being the son you wanted. Toothless, I'm so sorry for making you grounded forever. Astrid… I always love you even in the afterlife. I love you all. I guess… this... is… goodbye' he passed out.

It was at night when he passed out and the forest around him was quiet, not even a hoot from an owl was heard.

The silence was suddenly broken by the sound off huge flapping of wings. Two dragons landed beside the fallen boy. These dragons were new to Berk.

::Is this…?" said one of the dragon as she sniffed the fallen boy.

::Could it be?:: said the other one as he stared in shock at the boy.

::Yes, yes it's him! It's the same boy who took down the Red Death! It's him!:: the female dragons roared excitedly. The male dragon smelled the boy for a moment. He breathed in deeply before he noticed something.

::He's infected by a disease:: he said as he kept sniffing. ::A deadly one:: his eyes widened, making the female stared in shock. ::He's barely alive. We need to bring him to the king immediately!:: the female didn't even hesitate to gently pick up the fallen boy and flew away.

The dragons flew as fast as they can to the nest of the king, fear ran through their veins that the boy will not survive from the disease if they were not going to make it in time. As they flew to the nest, some dragons flew to them.

::Where have you two been?:: answered a dragon but he didn't need answer when he saw what the female dragon held in her claw. He stared in shock. ::What happened to him!?::

::He seem to be infected by a deadly disease::

::We need to bring him to the king, ASAP!:: the dragons parted to give way for the female dragon to reach the nest.

The female dragon hoped that the king will kind enough to cure the boy but she sure that he will since the king was eager to meet the boy who stopped the war between Vikings and dragons.

She was pretty sure that this wasn't the meeting that the king was expecting.

She carefully maneuvered around the giant icy nest of the king. Nearby dragons stared in shock at what she held in her claws. She landed on a cliff and gently put the boy down on the ground. She rushed to the edge of the cliff and yelled.

::My king!:: she yelled as she panted. Her yelled gained the attention of the giant white beast before her. The king lifted his head and looked at the female dragon.

::What is it, my humble Hobblegrunt?:: the king said calmly, curious on why the female dragon was in sheer panic.

::He needs help!:: she yelled again. Feeling the needs to help others, the king stood and looked at what she was gesturing. When his giant green eyes landed on the human form, his eyes were widened in shock.

::Is this the boy?:: he asked the Hobblegrunt as he leaned in closer to inspect the boy.

::Yes, my king. He is none other than Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III himself:: the Hobblegrunt bowed. The king could smell that the boy was infected by a deadly disease.

The Bewilderbeast, the alpha, the king, was expecting a meeting with the dragon savior Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III. He heard a lot of stories from his faithful servants that came and went from his nest and he found out that most Vikings in the Barbaric Archipelago called the boy as the Prince of Dragons.

He then, made up his mind.

::Is the disease curable, my king?:: the Hobblegrunt asked as dragons started to gather around, stared in shock as the boy they all knew so much laid there, looking weak and deathly ill. They all were scared that he might not make it.

::It is curable:: the dragons looked at their king with hopeful in their eyes. ::But it haven't been done before:: he told all of them.

The Bewilderbeast king bit the inside of his mouth, making his mouth bleed a bit. His servants stood back as he gathered his icy breath and puffed it out towards the boy.

Instead of pure white icy mist, this mist was mixed between white and red. The mist surrounded the boy and formed a misty sphere around him. Slowly, the red color of the mist slowly disappeared as Hiccup breath them in.

Hiccup then took a very deep breath, now sucking the mist fully through his mouth. All of the dragons, including the alpha, stared as the mist slowly got sucked in by Hiccup who ached back and breathed in even deeper.

Soon enough, the boy began to relax and fell back into slumber. This time, the mist was fully gone and his breathing was regular unlike the raspy one before. The dragon king knew that the cure was successful as the dragons celebrated.

At least, the boy will live up the name he was given by the Vikings.
