Hiccup's POV

The sun was starting to set and I was about to leave the cove. All the dragons were there for the time being and some of them *cough*Hookfang *cough* were not happy about it.

I was about to leave when Toothless's ears perked up.

"What is it bud?" I asked.

I then heard Black Ice's roar and Toothless had a look of worry in his eye.

"Bud...we have to intercept them before they get to Berk" I said, hopping on Toothless's back.

I clicked into Toothless's stirrup and we took off. We flew high and fast, praying no one, especially Ora saw us.

I looked around and saw Black Ice and we dove down.

As we got close I saw Ironclad was not on top of Black Ice at all, but in his claws and unconscious.

"Ohh crap" I said to myself.

We finally got close and were flying beside Black Ice. I leaned forward and saw a large amount of blood on Ironclad's head and he wasn't wearing his armor.

"Bud, ask Black Ice what...actually no" I said "We need to get him to the Healer stat." I said.

"Black Ice! Follow us! And set him down gently when we get to the ground!" I yelled and I clicked Toothless's stirrup, picking up our speed and spending us to the ground.

I saw the town and I prayed to about 10 different gods that Ironclad would be ok and Ora wasn't watching. The last thing we needed was for her to show us what she can do with that hammer.

We pulled up at the last second, landing right in front of the Healer's Hut. Black Ice hovered a little bit above the ground and set the still unconscious Ironclad down.

I saw all the Riders, including Astrid running to where we were.

"What the hell Hiccup! I thought we were trying to keep this a secret!" Ari yelled running towards us.

They all gasped as soon as they saw the situation in front of them.

"Klint, help me carry him inside. Kol and Heith, I need you to try and keep our guest away. Astrid you too. Ari, you are on stand by. If the Healer needs anything you are ready to fly to wherever to get it. Helga, you are with me you have some Healing knowledge that could help." I said.

Everyone nodded, snapping into action. Klint and I carefully picked up Ironclad, trying not to injure him further. Kol and Helga ran off to hopefully intercept Ora or any of her crew. While Helga opened the door and made a path for us.

The Healer quickly saw the situation before her and cleared off a table, throwing a couple books, scrolls, and a few unlit candles onto the floor.

"Here" she ordered and we placed Ironclad on the table.

"What can we do?" I said.

"We need to try and stop the bleeding" she said "We need bandages, lots and lots of bandages. They are in the cabinet to your left"

I ran to the cabinet and opened it finding stacks of bandages. I grabbed all of them and ran back to the table, handing them to the Healer.

"We need to wrap his head, apply pressure, and keep it elevated" she said, starting to wrap the bandages around his still bleeding head.

The healer then handed off the bandages to me, as she ran to grab some herbs.

"Klint, keep his head elivated. Helga, you work with the Healer, do whatever she tells you" I said.

Helga ran to the back an started mixing something with the Healer.

Once I finished wrapping all the bandages Klint placed an old blanket under his head.

The Healer came back and inspected his wrapped head.

"Will he be ok?" I asked.

"He should be" the Healer said.

"When will he wake up?" Klint asked.

"Who knows, I can try some smelling salts but I don't want to wake him too soon" the Healer said.

"Klint I need to find out what happened, stay here" I said.

He nodded and stood by Helga. She cradled his head

Klint nodded and I walked outside. I saw Ari and she ran up to me.

"I have Sparks circling high above if needed. Is he ok?" she asked.

"He'll live...hopefully" I said, looking down.

Toothless nudged my hand and I patted his head.

I then lifted my hands seeing them stained red.

"Ari...wet cloth please" I said, strained.

She gasped and nodded running into the hut.

I then turned to see Black Ice, a worried look on his face.

"He will be ok. I need to know what happened though" I said.

Black Ice then looked down and I turned to Toothless.

"He is saying that Ironclad asked to be brought to the evil one. Black Ice obliged and they headed to the island. Once there Ironclad and him battled. The evil one was defeated but his trickery remained. He attacked with a rock from behind. Black Ice was not able to stop the attack but saved his rider. He then started a chain reaction of the resident volcano on the island and well.."

I blinked a couple times.

"Hiccup" I heard behind me. I turned around to see Ari and a cloth in her hands. I said thanks and started to wipe off my hands.

"I saw him in there...he looks so peaceful" Ari said.

"He is a fighter, he won't go out because of a hit to the head." I said.

Ari sighed and said she was going to the cove to tell the other dragons the situation.

"What is the situation exactly?" Ari asked.

"Well Ironclad went to where Corey was. They fought and Corey lost. Corey, being a sole loser, threw a rock at the back of his head. Black Ice went crazy and started a volcanic eruption" I said.

Ari whistled and patted Black Ice's snout.

"Remind me to never get on your bad side" she said.

"No kidding" I said.

Ari then ran off to the cove and I heard my name called again.

"What now!" I groaned turning around.

I saw Kol and Heith running to me.

"We...tried..." Kol said, breathing heavy.

"She...she is coming" Heith said.

They both collapsed breathing heavy and I looked down at them.

"Who!" I said.

"ME!" I heard and looked up.

I saw Astrid trying to convince Ora to turn around and she was bee lining for me.

"Ohhh the gods hate me...I mean they really REALLY hate me" I said to myself.

"Hiccup! What are these-these dragons doing here!" she yelled pointing at Toothless and Black Ice. I stepped in front of them protectively.

"These are our...pets?" I said.

"I expected something like parrots or ponies but this!" she yelled.

"I know, I know." I said "But trust me here, they won't attack you unless you attack them or one of us."

"I highly doubt that" Ora said, gritting through her teeth.

"I swore to you that no harm would come to you and I am keeping that promise" I said putting my hands up, hopefully stopping Toothless and Black Ice or Ora for that matter from doing anything rash.

"Why is there blood on your hands?" Ora said "What's going on?"

"Nothing! Nothing!" I said.

Ora raised her eyebrows and pushed me aside, heading to the Healer's hut.

"Thor Almighty! Can't I catch a break!Astrid I need you to run and tell Ari what's going on!" I said and Astrid took off.

I groaned mentally and started chasing after Ora.


Ironclad's POV

I was floating in the air.

It felt like I was one Black Ice, surrounded by clouds.

I opened my eyes to a blinding white light and covered my eyes.

I slowly moved to sit up, and my eyes adjusted to the light.

I looked around to see nothing but white.

"Where am I?" I said, standing up.

I looked down and saw I was in my simple tunic and pants, I touched my face and didn't feel the leather of my mask.

"What happened to me?" I said, gripping the side of my head, trying to remember what happened

"Ironclad" a sweet voice said behind me.

I stopped breathing.

I knew that voice. I recognized it anywhere.

I slowly turned around and saw her.

She was as beautiful as I remembered. Her hair was braided to the side and she had a large smile on her face. Her eyes sparkled and I couldn't feel my body.

"Cal-Calypso?" I stuttered.

"Hello Ironclad" she said tilting her head slightly.

I then sprinted towards her and she opened her arms to me.

I held her tight and spun her around, my face burrowing into her hair.

"I missed you...so much" I said setting her down and holding her even tighter.

I inhaled her scent, a million spices I could never identity but made my knees go weak.

Calypso lifted my face to her's and I leaned in, kissing her with as much passion as I could muster.

"You have been so brave" she said when we broke apart and we started into each other's eyes.

"Where...where are we?" I asked looking around.

"You can't be here...not yet" she said looking down.

"Is this Valhalla?" I said and she nodded then shook her head.

"So...yes or no?" I asked laughing.

"Both" Calypso said kissing my forehead and leaving my arms.

"What's going on?" I said.

"I missed you and I can't wait for us to be together again but you can't stay" she said.

"Why?" I said.

"You have unfinished business, people you need to look after" she said.

"But.. I want to be with you" I said.

She sighed and walked back to me, placing a hand on my face.

"Think of the Riders. Of Hiccup! Black Ice!" she said.

"I can't keep living in a world where you don't exist" I said.

"You are strong, Ironclad. You can endure anything." she said kissing me again.

I sighed "You were pregnant when you died. I know now"

Calypso nodded her head solemnly.

"I knew you would find out one day. I was only a few weeks along at most." she said.

"Did you suffer? I mean are you happy here?" I asked, placing my hand on top of her's.

"I am really happy here. I can't wait to spend eternity with you" Calypso said.

"I love you" I said.

"I love you too." Calypso said "But it isn't your time. We will be together again, someday."

We kissed again and when we broke apart and she looked at me with a mixture or sadness and love.

She then pushed me away and I fell into the white light again.


Hiccup's POV

"Why do the gods hate me!" I cursed trying to stop Ora from entering the hut.

"What's in there Hiccup! want answers!" she yelled.

"I know! I know!" I said jumping in front of her and putting my hands up.

"There is a logical explanation for all of this" I said.

"Well?" she asked.

"I...I...well you see... I said.

Ora rolled her eyes and pushed past me.

"Ahh! Fine! One of out friends is injured alright! We don't want his.. ummm.. condition to get worse by you busting in there!" I said.

"Why would that hurt him if I looked?" Ora said "What are you hiding?"

"He is...well...how do I explain this" I said.

"Hiccup! He is up!" Helga yelled from the inside.

"I think I need to see this man for myself" Ora said.

"Fine! But if you try and lay a finger on him Odin help you!" I said.

"Like you can hurt me?" Ora scoffed.

"Not me...Helga" I said muttered and then shuttered.

Ora had beat me to the hut and had burst through the door.

I quickly followed and saw Helga on a stool next to Ironclad. Ironclad was still on the table but he had a blanket over him and I couldn't see his face because of Helga's position.

Klint was leaning against a wall and once he saw us he quickly straightened up and placed his hand on his sword.

Helga turned to see us and gasped standing up quickly and knocking the stool over.

"Ora! what are you doing here?" she said.

"I came to see the little patient. I wondered why you are all keeping him away from me. Is he a criminal?" Ora said.

"No!" Helga said.

I heard Ironclad groan.

"Can you all keep it down!?" he moaned.

"Who is he exactly?" Ora said, putting her hands on her hips.

"No one!" Helga said faking a laugh and looking at me with a tinge of worry.

Ora sighed and started walking towards Helga and Ironclad. Klint looked at me with his sword slightly drawn but I put my hand up.

I mouthed 'wait' and he nodded.

Ora might do nothing.

Or she might do something.

I just hoped it was the latter.

Helga looked at me and I jerked my head to the side.

Might as well get this over with.

Helga then stepped to the side and I saw Ironclad.

His head was still bandaged and but he was starting to sit up on his elbows.

"Ahh Hiccup. It feels like I was run over by about twenty Gronkles and then about thirty Monstrous Nightmares. What happened?" he said looking at me.

He then saw Ora standing beside him.

He then said something under his breath and a look of complete and utter shock crossed his face.

"Ora?" he chocked out.

"Ironclad" Ora said, her voice catching.

"What...how?" Ironclad said.

"You're alive" Ora breathed out.

"You're alive" Ironclad repeated.

Helga and Klint looked at me with confusion in their eyes and I was probably doing the same.

"Welcome back-" Ora said.

I was wondering what the heck was going on. Did they know each other? Well i guess so but when? How? What was going on?

"-little brother" Ora said, finishing her sentence.

My mind went blank.


Please tell me what you think!
