All well. Anyway, hope you enjoy this one ;) And be prepared for some feeeeels! Again ^.^

Hiccup and Dagur were embracing each other for a good five minutes before they had to let go since Toothless was sitting there looking at and waiting for them. By then Dagur had to wipe some tears to make sure he was still tough looking for the sake of his dignity while Hiccup was waiting since he didn't let a tear fall. "So what now?" Hiccup finally asked. "Do I have to go back and face him?"

Dagur was quiet for a moment, stunned that Hiccup would ask that but he answered him with complete honesty, "Yeah, you have to..." With a sigh, Hiccup nodded to confirm that Dagur was right so Toothless shot out a plasma blast to signal the other two riders that they found him and to come over quick. Dagur then noticed how tense Hiccup was getting but how tight the teen's fist was getting. "Are you nervous? Scared? You don't want to see Stoick?"

"It's not that," Hiccup protested but then continued in a whisper, "It's just that, I've caused so much trouble and said stuff to him that I didn't mean...I don't know if he even wants to see or have anything to do with me."

"Hiccup, believe me I know Stoick will be pleased to see you."

"But I went berserk in Berk, his own village and-"

"Hiccup you have no idea what hell Stoick went through just to rescue you and Heather from me," Dagur chuckled but then got to seriousness. Even though he knew that telling Hiccup this might result losing him, but it's better for him to choice with his own will. "He went through those crazy blizzards, sneaked into Berserker island dressed as one of my soldiers, saved my life, and saved yours twice." Hiccup was looking at him in shock, taken aback to hear what craziness Stoick went through to get to him as Toothless nodded to confirm that Dagur was telling the truth. "I'm pretty sure Stoick wants to see you after going through all that and trying to gain mine and Heather's trust."

"He did that?" Hiccup gasped, his hand was over his head so he can process everything in his head. "I was sure that after everything I did that he would hate me."

"Didn't you hear that story he told us?" Dagur teased, ruffling Hiccup's hair, "Even as a baby you made that jerk have a change of heart. And I'm not going to put any pressure on you, never will or ever do that. This time, it's your choice whether or not to forgive Stoick for the lies."

Stoick and Heather were just coming out of another cave they had to explore to see if Hiccup was inside but found nothing except for bats and terrible terrors to their disappointment. It was about to get to the point when they would have to assume some scenarios but it was the most worst case scenarios. They didn't know if Hiccup somehow got out of the island, or was killed, hurt by a wild animal but they only prayed to the gods that Hiccup was okay and unharmed. But even though they found nothing, Stoick refused to give up, he just knew that Hiccup was out there somewhere. That was when they saw it as bright as day:

A plasma blast shot into the sky!

"THEY FOUND HIM!" The two riders exclaimed at the same time but they didn't take time to actually realize that since they both mounted on their dragons and flew up to find the location of where that plasma blast came from! Stoick was feeling overwhelmed, wondering if Hiccup was okay, if he wasn't ready to see him or just resent him like the way he did a few days ago on that day. "YOU NEVER SAW ME AS YOUR SON! SO GUESS WHAT, I HATE YOU STOICK! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! YOU NEVER HAVE OR WILL EVER BE A FATHER TO ME! YOU NEVER WANTED ME AS A SON SO I DON'T WANT YOU AS MY FATHER! YOU MADE ME FEEL SO USELESS AND WORTHLESS, YOU ONLY USED ME!" He shook his head at the thought of that, telling himself that Hiccup was only acting that day so it can be convincing to Dagur, but does Hiccup know that he knows?

"I'm sure it'll turn out fine," Heather reassured the chief as if she just read his mind. "The worst he could do is not forgive you and resent you, but I'm sure he'll want to see you just as much as you want to see him. Trust me on this."

"You're right, you're right," Stoick replied but then sighed as worry filled him up again, "But what if he does? What if he really does hate me? What if he hates me so much that he won't forgive me and run away!? If you were convinced enough that what happened on Berk was on their own intention then what's Hiccup going to think? After years of lying to him, do you really think he'll forgive me for all that and just like that?"

"Did he forgive you when apologized for disowning him?" Heather suddenly asked from out of the blue, much to the chief's surprise.

"What?"

"I said, 'Did he forgive you when you apologized for disowning him?'"

"Yes he did," Stoick answered, recalling the day when Hiccup and Toothless battled the Red Death but when he apologized, the boy made an apology as well! He was still grateful to this day that Toothless saved Hiccup's life so they can start over with their family relationship. "He forgave me despite those times I've hurt him."

"And you guys started over, right?" Heather added, "You gave each other another chance to heal the father-son relationship." Stoick nodded, wondering where the girl was getting at as she smiled, "Then if you both had the strength to start over three years ago then it wouldn't hurt to start over now and tend to the wounds in that tainted relationship. After all, what makes a family are the bonds made." All Stoick could do was nod as they were hovering over the spot, signaling their dragons to land in the center of the cover they haven't realized was there until they saw the scorch marks on some of leaves. The closer to they got to the ground where Dagur was waving, the more nervous Stoick was getting. It was like the same feeling he had when he found Toothless without Hiccup after the Red Death was defeated!

FLASHBACK

"Oh son..." Stoick whispered with heaviness on his shoulders as he collapsed on his knees in front of the nightfury when he didn't see his son anywhere in sight through the ashes of the Red Death. "I did this.." His head was bowed down to the ground, he didn't intend to look up as his eyes were gathering tears. He didn't realize that the rest of the village were mourning from behind with the dragons, all he can feel now was grief, sadness, great loss. Hiccup, his Hiccup is dead and it was all his fault. If only he just listened to Hiccup, if he just take the chance to actually take his son's words seriously then maybe, maybe Hiccup could have been alive. He could have still be with him as a family, but no. No, he had to be a fool. He had to be the same terrible father he was for all those years. He had to hurt his family. He was the fool who did otherwise and didn't listen to his only son as he disowned him at the process!

So many times, he thought he was doing the right thing but in reality he was a fool. Stoick remembered that day when baby Hiccup disappeared when he returned from a failed rescue mission, how he prayed to Odin and Thor to give him another chance to do better. However, that chance was up now, he paid the price for his foolishness.

He suddenly heard the nightfury wake up, as the creature looked at him with those acid green eyes. All Stoick could do was look at the dragon with sorrow as he whispered, "Oh son...I'm so...I'm so sorry." If he could, he would jump into ten volcanoes, give up his chiefdom, let the dragons tear his limbs apart, even die in order to see his son for one last time to at least make up for all the wrong he ever did to the boy. He had no idea if this was the words of the gods, a miracle, or luck but the nightfury looked at him for another three seconds until he slowly unfolded his wings.

Stoick had no idea what the dragon was doing until he saw a familiar unconscious small body of a freckled, auburn hair boy tucked safely underneath the wings, completely unscathed!

"HICCUP!?"

Without hesitation, Stoick scooped his boy in his arms hoping against hope for a sign that the boy was alive. He didn't see any signs of breathing as he brushed some of Hiccup's hair away until he tossed his helmet to the side and pressed his ear closer to the boy's chest. As if the gods have once again heard his prayers, he heard a strong heartbeat coming out of his little boy. He gasped with relief, holding his son tighter as he choked with happiness. "He's alive! You brought him back alive!"

END FLASHBACK

He only hoped that things would turn out right, that his son will see how much he loves him. Thor knows how many chances Stoick was given, that day of the battle gave him a serious wake up call as the other times.

Meanwhile...

The closer Skullcrusher and Windshear got to the ground, the more anxious Hiccup was getting as he tried to get himself to breathe properly. Sure Dagur gave him a reassuring smile and a pat on the back to calm down some of his nerves but he was still feeling some doubts. So many worse-case scenarios were being played all at once in Hiccup's mind but the moment he saw Stoick get off of Skullcrusher, he panicked. Maybe this wasn't a good idea...He must be furious with me! He might disown me again or attack! I wouldn't be surprised if he hates me up to this point! He was about to make a last minute run for it if Dagur wasn't there to grab his arm in time to keep the teen put while Toothless blocked anyway of escape. "It's okay Hiccup," Dagur whispered, "Stoick won't hurt you, I promise." Hiccup nodded, trying to look convinced while he tried to convince himself that what Dagur said was true. However it's not everyday you see Dagur the Deranged calm and comforting so seeing this kind of behavior his older brother did wasn't helping his nerves calm down.

Dagur could see how nervous Hiccup was getting the closer Stoick approached but he knew that the man would never hurt him. However if that was the case then he made sure he had an extra knife hidden in his boot to handle the situation with a slice. But he hoped he didn't have to resort to any violence after everything that happened the past two days.

He won't hurt you, he won't hurt you, he won't hurt you.. Hiccup repeated to himself, seeing that there was no way out this. Dagur said he won't hurt you. You know Stoick will never hurt you or your siblings...He won't hurt anyone...Unless they are traitors to the tribe, done so many crimes, and nearly kill his own! He didn't notice how nervous Stoick looked, he didn't see the reassuring nod Heather gave Stoick, he even didn't hear the man send a silent prayer. All that grabbed Hiccup's attention was that Stoick was approaching him as Toothless happily approach Windshear and Skullcrusher as they began their own dragon conversation. When he was only a few feet away from Hiccup, the two stood still in silence, too afraid to speak as they stared effortlessly.

Dragon POV

"I see your boy is looking very nervous seeing his adoptive father," Skullcrusher commented, "And that he's with the deranged one, what happened?" He was almost too afraid to think that Dagur played mind games with Hiccup again to cause another trust problem.

Toothless sighed but answered as calmly and simply as he could. "When Dagur and I found Hiccup, he attacked him so he could make a run for it but the deranged human caught up with him and managed to calm him down without any exaggeration! He apologized," The nightfury gasped as if it was the most amazing thing that ever happened, which probably was. "He even hugged Hiccup, he explained his actions and told him what kind of crazy things Stoick had to go through to find him without exaggeration! If I didn't know better, he was really acting like an older brother..."

"The same thing happened between him and my rider," Windshear commented in shock, "He came clean and told Heather everything, he asked for forgiveness and saw the wrong in his actions...Do you think that their older brother is really changing his ways?"

That was one thing everyone seemed to want to know... Did he? And did Dagur change in time to fix the broken bond between the father and son?
