Chapter 14: We Are The Hearts

(Hiccup POV)

I take in a slow breath.

In and out. The air is wonderful and I slowly very slowly became aware of noises around me. Curiosity feeling me I open my heavy eyelids.

Everything is blurry.

But there.

The wood is a deep brown with patterns swirling through and across the wood. Greyish light is filtering through the window and I spot a darker shape over me. I place him in a heartbeat.

Toothless.

I once made Astrid describe him to me and everything she said was true, every detail, the dark scales running across his back and the toxic green eyes mirrors of my own meet mine. He stares at me for several seconds and my breathing hitches.

I can see.

See.

The world isn't black anymore, there's light, life and color.

Toothless moves towards me sniffing me curiously and I force my breathing to steady, "I can see." I choke. The words process in my head, I can see.

Toothless's eyes widen with surprise and multiple other expressions. Expression. I haven't seen someone's expression for so long. Toothless blinks several times before he moves forward and rests a talon on my stomach. I shoot upwards clutching my stomach giving a pained yelp. I stare up at the room, of my house.

It looks exactly as I remember it. Beyond a few more scars and a small amount of destruction, probably Toothless.

I blink several times and stare at the familiar walls and then turn my attention to Toothless. "What the…?" I say and look at Toothless whose eyes are wide and excited as he shakes back and forth with energy. "I'm in my house?" I question. My eyes widen and I look at Toothless.

"You're in my house!" I say. Oh this is the end for both of us! Toothless jumps onto the rafters and I watch him with tired eyes, "Toothless!" I groan he looks down at me in between his feet. "Come on!" I mutter as I lift up the blanket and freeze.

I stare at the my feet.

Foot.

The missing half of my left leg, everything a little past my knee is..gone. I hold the blanket in my hand in shock for several moments before I drop the blanket and slowly lower my right leg down and then the peg leg. Toothless jumps down and sniffs the leg and looks up at me, eyes full of sorrow. I look into his big green eyes, then slowly I grab the edge of the bed and stand.

Cats.

I lean heavily on my right leg and pain shoots through the left leg as little pressure is put on it. I take in a deep breath and then I take a small step forward, the pain is incredible, equivalent to getting a hot metal bar pressed against the skin. I fall forward and prepare myself to smack into the ground, but I land on Toothless's neck instead. He pushes me up and I lean against him. "Thanks, bud." I whisper to him.

I will do something about the leg later. Right now, I need to get Toothless out of here.

I stumble slightly again and Toothless forces me to make him take most of my weight. Using him as a crutch we slowly make our way to the door. Toothless's tail sweeps around us and I stare at it for a second, before looking at Toothless. A leg for a tailfin.

I look back at the door and slowly reach out a hand grasping the metal and pull open the door.

A Monstrous Nightmare flies by so fast I gasp and slam the door shut. Shutting my eyes tightly with frustration and pain. I peel open my eyes and look back at Toothless, "Toothless, stay here." I command.

Toothless gives me a look of annoyance but I ignore him and pull open the door. I step outside and stare at Berk in complete and utter shock.

Dragons. Light, everything.

It's covered in a fresh dusting of snow and looks completely new. People are rushing around everywhere and I feel like crying out for joy. Looking through my own eyes is different than watching things through Toothless's.

I take a few staggering steps forward staring at the new Berk in shock. Dad comes up the steps to me and I look at him before giving a soft shrug, "I knew it. I'm dead."

He laughs and puts a hand on my shoulder, "No, but you gave it your best shot." He promises. His happy expression falls slightly and he gives my shoulder a quick squeeze, "I wish you could see it."

My words fail me.

After a moment I look up at him and meet his eyes, "Dad," I say then my face twists into a smile, "I can."

His eyes widen and he stares at me for a long moment, "You…" He says but his tongue it appears has caught. I nod anyway and he lets out a booming laugh.

Heads jerk up from the village and they race up toward us, "Oh, look it's Hiccup!" They shout and for once actually sounding happy. Weird.

I blink a few times and look up at my dad he smiles, "Looks like all we needed was just a little bit more of...this." He says.

I follow his hands, "You just gestured to all of me." I say. More of me. Not less.

Gobber breaks through the crowd, "Well most of you, that piece of works mine, with a little Hiccup flare thrown in, do you think it'll do?"

I look down at the peg and shrug, "Eh, I might make a few tweaks."

Laughter ripples through the crowd. I smile slightly.

A sudden rib crushing hug crashes onto me and my breath catches, the tightening pressure is gone as quickly as it had appeared and Dagur pulls back lifting a hand up, "How dare you be so heroic, Hiccup. I was so worried, was he dead was he not…" Dagur trails off and smirks. I meet eyes with him and return the gesture.

"Hiccup!" This time, Mom and Heather squeeze through the suffocating round circle of people. Heather rushes up to me and gives me a soft hug after a moment I return it squeezing her tightly. We release and Valka moves next to Dad staring at me widely.

A sudden snowball to the face jerks me to the left and I stumble on my peg slightly waves of pain shooting through me. Astrid, strolls through the crowd staring at me her eyes narrowed. Oh boy.

"That's for scaring me." She declares. I let my shoulders drop before looking back at her. It's been roughly a six months plus since that day she found us in the woods, maybe more who knows how long I was unconscious. My voice re-enters my throat.

"Okay! Is-is this how it's always going to be because-" I'm cut off as Astrid grabs the front of my shirt and tugs me towards her. Our lips meet and she pulls away a few seconds later. I stare at her, "-Could get used to it." I finish.

Astrid laughs slightly and I turn as Gobber hands me a saddle and tail fin. I take them from his arms and he smiles at me, "Welcome home." He says.

I grin and there's some shocked gasps, and a cry of, "Night Fury! Get down!" I turn and watch as Toothless jumps on my uncle, Spitelout before he walks over to me. Astrid laughs and I smile and the dragon.

I limp over to Toothless and I grin, "You ready to join the skies again, bud?" I ask, Toothless nods eagerly and I lift up the saddle and with the help of Heather, Astrid and Dagur manage to get the tail fin in working order.

I swing onto his back and click my peg leg into place on the new stirrup made for the prosthetic. Astrid laughs from atop of Stormfly and Heather climbs onto Windshear and Dagur onto Shattermaster. I smile at her before I open the tail fin with the stirrup and Toothless jumps into the air.

The wind rips through my hair, freezing the tips and a chill whirls through the air But with wings, in the air, there is no cold only freedom. Toothless's wings pump once, twice before he rockets upwards trying to touch the sky.

Casually we breathe with the pharaohs, you will hear our voices echo.

We are the hearts.
