The Adventurous Adventures of Hiccup and Wrenlou

All I Remember, Part VI

"Alright," Dale said, looking at the teens in front of him, "today is basically practice. No new manoeuvres, no new flying tricks, just practicing what I've taught you so far. And Hiccup, no jumping off dragons please. I really don't like to see you fall."

Hiccup smiled weakly and nodded, avoiding Dale's gaze. He liked jumping off Toothless' back, free falling until the dragon caught him again, but he also understood why Dale didn't like it. If somehow, something went wrong with the tailfin while he wasn't on the dragon's back, things could go very bad in seconds.

"Okay. Mount up, get in the air, and practice some manoeuvers. It doesn't really matter which one you do and in which order, just do it, and of course, have fun!"

They nodded and quickly mounted the dragons, shooting up into the sky. Hiccup mounted Toothless and tried to move the tailfin, but something was wrong with it. Frowning, he looked back to the prosthetic and tried again. This time it opened without a problem, and he shrugged. He would look at it when the lesson was over. It was probably nothing, a little sand between the gears. It had happened before, never really posed a problem.

He quickly followed the other riders up in the sky, moving next to Wrenlou. The boy smiled to him, winking before Snowflake pulled into a steep dive, her wings tucked to her side, shooting straight towards the ocean. Hiccup smiled and went the other way, up into the clouds.

As soon as he was surrounded by the white fluff, he closed his eyes. It was a trust exercise, and he trusted Toothless completely. The dragon crooned softly, then ducked down. Hiccup felt his stomach leap into his throat, but he clenched onto the saddle, keeping his eyes closed.

Just above the water, he felt Toothless change direction, and he changed the position of the tailfin, allowing the dragon to make a sharp turn and shoot straight up again. He opened his eyes, grinning widely. In his time in Learners Bay, he had learned so much more manoeuvres, and he enjoyed all of them.

He petted Toothless' neck and the dragon roared, spinning past some rocks before shooting a fireball into the sky. Then he ducked under it, leveling out above the water. He exhaled slowly, petting Toothless head and the dragon crooned softly.

"Alright bud. Let's try something else."

Toothless crooned again, and with a swift motion of his foot, Hiccup changed the position of the tailfin. It moved with a rattle, and he looked back annoyed. He frowned, but the fin looked fine, so he steered the dragon up again. Toothless shrieked into the air, shooting past Broghan and his dragon, flying higher and higher into the clouds. Only when they shot out above the clouds did he stop, and Hiccup looked around.

"Alright. Toothless, we're going for a spin."

The dragon wailed happily and tucked his wings to his side. Instantly they were falling again, until Toothless opened his wings only slightly and they started spinning through the air. They spiraled towards the ocean, the wind rushing through his hair, and Hiccup let go of the saddle. With his arms spread out, he smiled.

Suddenly there was a snap, and Toothless shrieked. In an instant they were falling again, only this time the dragon failed to get his wings under control. When he looked back to the tail, he saw to his horror that the tailfin was closed. Panicked he tried to open it, but the pedal moved freely, and the fin didn't move.

"Toothless!" he shrieked, his arms flailing to grab the saddle.

Toothless wailed loudly, beating his wings to get his fall under control, but the sand kept coming closer at an alarming rate. In a wild spin, he was flung from the dragon's back, falling towards the sand screaming. Toothless screeched loudly and dove after him, trying to catch him mid air.

The dragon failed and Hiccup screamed as he saw the ground come closer. He tried to grab the saddle one last time, then he hit the sand with a loud scream. Pain exploded in his head and arm and he was covered by sand as the dragon crashed next to him. Someone screamed his name, but he lay dazed, gasping for breath while the pain seared through his body. He heard vague footsteps running towards him and felt hands turn him on his back. He blinked a few times, his eyes meeting Dale's.

"Stay with me..." the man mumbled softly, placing a hand on his cheek, "you will be just fine..."

A heavy thud indicated another dragon had landed, and not long after Wrenlou appeared on his other side, looking down at him with worried eyes. He groaned, fighting unconsciousness, but Dale's face swam in his vision, and he couldn't stay awake. With one last whimper he fell from consciousness, his vision going black.

Dale's eyes widened as soon as he saw Hiccup and Toothless go down. He always kept a closer eye on the young boy, mainly because of Toothless' artificial tailfin, and now it seemed like his worst fear had come true.

"Hiccup!" he screamed, running forward, "Hiccup!"

The boy hit the sand and his fear peaked when he saw how Toothless almost crashed on top of his rider. Stumbling in the loose sand, he fell to his knees, taking Hiccup's shoulder. The boy was breathing ragged, blood dripping from a large gash on the side of his head, his left arm and hand bent in an unnatural position. Hiccup's eyes fluttered as he placed a hand on the boy's cheek, mumbling softly.

"Stay with me... you'll be just fine... stay awake Hiccup, stay awake..."

"Hiccup!"

He looked up. Wrenlou came running towards them, Broghan on his heels. Both looked incredibly worried and Wrenlou was at the brink of tears as he knelt at Hiccup's side. Dale took a deep breath, trying to calm the panic that swirled inside him. In all his years of teaching, none of his students had ever fallen like this.

"Broghan," he said, his voice only slightly shaking, "go to Dragoncity. Get a healer. As fast as you can."

The brown-haired boy nodded and stood up, whistling to his dragon and he was sin the air flying towards the city in mere seconds. Dale looked back at Hiccup. The boy had lost consciousness, but the pained expression was clearly visible on his face.

"Dale..." Wrenlou whispered, "what happened?"

"I... I don't know," Dale admitted, "he... he just went down... it had to have been the tailfin, it couldn't have been anything else really..."

Wrenlou looked back at Toothless. The dragon looked fine, pressed against the ground with worried eyes never leaving the boy. He looked up when Wrenlou approached him and whined softly.

"Shh... it's not your fault..." Wrenlou muttered while walking around the dragon, towards his tail.

Dale looked up when he came back. "And?"

"Definitely the prosthetic. The wire is snapped in two. He wouldn't have been able to control it at all... oh gods... he will be okay, yes? Please tell me he will be okay..."

"I... I don't know..." Dale muttered, stroking a lock of hair from Hiccup's forehead, "I really don't know... let's get him inside, shall we?"

Wrenlou nodded and stood up, silent tears slipping from his eyes as he helped Dale to lift Hiccup from the ground. He carried the boy to his cabin as careful as he could and gently lowered him onto the bed.

"Stay with him," he told Wrenlou, "I'll be right back."

Wrenlou nodded, tears burning in his eyes and as soon as Dale left, he sat down next to Hiccup. As he stared down at his face he couldn't help but think back to when he had first found him, how still he had been then. Tentatively he reached out, carefully touching Hiccup's cheek, trying to get some reaction, but the boy kept still, not acknowledging the touch. His left arm was resting on his chest, clearly broken and bent the wrong way. His left hand was also broken, the bones in an unnatural position, and his own hand hovered above Hiccup's injured one. He didn't dare touch it though. Even if he had read every possible medical book, he was no healer, and he might make things worse. He looked up when Dale came back, carrying a bowl with steaming water.

"Here," the man said, handing him the bowl and a clean cloth, "hold that on his head."

"Is the healer here yet?" Wrenlou asked softly, wringing the cloth a little before carefully placing it on Hiccup's head.

Dale shook his head. "No. And you know that Dragoncity is a fair distance away. It may be some time before he arrives," he looked at Hiccup's broken arm, "you read the medical books right? Do you know how to set a broken arm?"

"I...in theory, y...yes," Wrenlou stuttered, "I... I never did it for real though. I can't do it. What if I make things worse?"

Dale sighed, placing a hand on Wrenlou's shoulder. "Wrenlou, I know you've always wanted to become a healer. And I know that because of everything that's happened, it never worked out. You read the books, you know what to do. That means you also know that is we don't set the bone, he might lose his arm when the healer get's here. And we don't want that, do we?"

Wrenlou shook his head and wiped the tears from his face. Then he turned to Hiccup's broken arm, his hand hovering over the fracture.

"I can't do it," he whispered, "I can't hurt him more!"

Dale rounded the bed and sat down next to him, pulling him close. For a while the man said nothing, he just held Wrenlou against his chest, rubbing his back while the boy cried into his shoulder.

"Please Wrenlou," he whispered, "I don't want Hiccup to lose his arm because of this. I need yo to do this."

Wrenlou nodded and dried his face with his sleeve. Then he closed his eyes for a moment, trying to recall the information on broken bones, and he took a deep breath while he took hold of Hiccup's arm.

"I'm sorry..." he mumbled, "I'm so sorry..."

With a swift motion, he snapped the broken bone back in place, and Hiccup bolted upright, screaming at the top of his lungs. Wrenlou took a shuddering breath, regretting hurting his friend like this, but he held Hiccup's arm while Dale pushed the boy back down. Hiccup shuddered and fell unconscious again, an opportunity Dale seized to quickly bandage his arm to keep the bone in place until the healer came. Wrenlou also set the bones in Hiccup's hands, and by then he hated himself. Hiccup had become restless, tossing and turning as if he was plagued by nightmares, and sometimes he would cry out an incoherent word in Norse.

"Stay with him," Dale said, "I'll see if the healer is here yet."

Wrenlou nodded and Dale stood up, when he was about to open the door, Wrenlou's soft voice stopped him.

"He can never know I did this..." Wrenlou whispered, gesturing to Hiccup's arm, "I don't want him to know I hurt him on purpose."

Dale smiled weakly. "I won't tell him. Wait with him. I'll be right back."

After the door closed Wrenlou sighed and looked at Hiccup. He started to carefully wash the blood from his head as much as he could.

"Please be okay," he mumbled, "please Hiccup, please wake up."

Hiccup only groaned while he washed the blood away, still tossing and turning, but he showed no signs that he would wake up soon.

Broghan nearly crash-landed in front of the hospital in Dragoncity and, ignoring the shouts from other riders, he ran inside, Moonchaser's wailing in his ears. He simply ran into the first room he saw, and the two healers looked up frowning when he barged through the door.

"We..." he started, gasping for breath, "he..."

"Easy," one of the men said while standing up, "take a deep breath. What's going on?"

"He... fell..." Broghan coughed, "Hiccup, he fell... His arm's broken for sure, and he hit his head. We need a healer in the Bay, right now."

"When did this happen?" the second healer asked while he started packing a bag with some medical supplies, "from what height did he fall?"

"I came here right after," Broghan said, taking a sip from the glass of water he was offered, "maybe an hour ago? And I don't know... high enough to break some bones."

"Alright, I'll come with you. Wait outside, okay?"

Broghan nodded and emptied the glass before giving it back. As he walked back to Moonchaser, the image of Hiccup falling towards the ground wouldn't leave him alone. He didn't have to wait long. Only a few minutes later the healer came out, followed by his dragon.

"Lead the way," the man said, mounting the dragon, the bag firmly on his shoulder.

Broghan nodded and Moonchaser spread her wings. As fast as he could he flew back, but because he was still young, Moonchaser did not yet possess the speed and strength of the healer's dragon, and soon he had fallen behind. He didn't really care. The sooner the healer was with Hiccup, the better. Had it been Wrenlou who had fallen, his heart had exploded with worry and fear. He was still worried, but he didn't feel the same throbbing concern he knew he would have felt for Wrenlou.

When he finally arrived at the bay, he found the healer's dragon curled up outside of Hiccup's cabin. Snowflake and Toothless were also there, Snowflake curled around Toothless as the ebony dragon whimpered his concern. He landed, but was afraid to enter, so he lingered outside, soon joined by Leila and the twins. His own worry was reflected in their eyes and he sighed. Hiccup had become a part of their group, a part none of them wanted to lose again.
