silverwolvesarecool: Nah, they'll probably learn a bit more about it before they go for it. Hopefully...

"The Gemsho," Astrid repeated, and Hiccup nodded, sobbing and crying still. "Hiccup, what is it?" Astrid asked tenderly.

"A d...d-d-dragon," Hiccup gasped out.

"How did you know it was a Gemsho?" Astrid asked. "I've never heard of that kind of dragon before. What is it?"

Hiccup shook his head, tears falling from his eyes. "It...it called itself t-t-the Gemsho," Hiccup sobbed.

"It...called itself," said Rosie. "But dragons don't talk!"

"Rosie, hush," said Valarie. She took Hiccup's hand and felt for his pulse, disliking and frowning at the sweaty feel of his skin. "What were you saying, Hiccup?" Valarie asked. If this was a way for them to learn more about what had done the horrible thing to Avril and Hiccup, then they needed to figure it out.

"Th...the d-d-dragon t-talked," Hiccup said. He grabbed ahold of Astrid's arm with both his hands as if it were the only thing keeping him alive, and the girl let him. "It...i-i-it t-told us t-that it was t-the Gemsho, and t-t-that it w-would k-k-kill e-everyone, a-and m-m-make them a-all suffer." He started crying again, harder than before.

"I d-d-don't know i-if it was a d-d-dragon or not," Hiccup stutted, cried, and gasped. "D-d-dragons d-don't t-talk...d-do they?"

No one answered him, too busy trying to hear him out, while Astrid comforted him with soothing nothings and clumsy arms, not knowing what to do.

"It...it f-found us at R-Raven Point," said Hiccup. "I-I'm s-s-scared, Astrid."

"Maybe we can train it," said Astrid.

Hiccup shook his head. "Dragons who kill without reason can never be trained," he said, and sobbed.

Valarie looked at Astrid, and Astrid instantly saw that she was to drop the conversation. Talking about it was only seeming to make Hiccup worse, and so that was the last thing they needed.

"Hiccup, we're going to give you some broth," said Valarie, taking the bowl and spoon from Rosie, scooping some of the liquid onto the utensil and holding it out to her patient. Hiccup shook his head, though, shying away from the spoon.

"Hiccup, you have to eat something," said Astrid. "It's the only way you're ever going to get better." Hiccup remained unmoved. "Hiccup, please," said Astrid. "We need you to eat this, and then that's it, okay?"

Maybe it was the pleading tone of her voice, or maybe it was Hiccup's hunger getting to him, but either way, Hiccup nodded, and then managed to consume the rest of the broth in the bowl. It took nearly ten minutes, since he caught his breath after each spoonful, but he did it eventually, and when he did, he seemed exhausted.

"You can go to sleep now if you want to, Hiccup," said Astrid, and Hiccup nodded, sinking into her arms and going limp as sleep finally took him.

"The Gemsho," said Gina. "A talking dragon...what does that even mean, Astrid?"

"I don't know," said Astrid, "but if Hiccup says that there is a talking creature out there who wants to kill us, then how can we tell him otherwise? This thing is effecting him and Avril. If he says something, we had better believe it."

At that moment, the front door opened, and Snotlout ran up the stairs. He gasped at the sight of his cousin, and then shook his head to knock him out of his stun.

"Astrid, we're holding a meeting at the Great Hall right now," said Snotlout. "You are requested."

Astrid knew that she should go; she knew more about the creature...or, the Gemsho, than anyone else (besides maybe Hiccup) did. Maybe her insight could help the other Berkians figure out what they were to do concerning the problem at hand.

"Okay, I'm coming," said Astrid. Snotlout nodded to her, and then raced back down the stairs, out the door, and towards the Great Hall. Astrid gently moved Hiccup back to the bed, laying him down and pulling the blanket over his body. She said goodbye to Hiccup (although he was sleeping) and the healers, and then headed off herself.

The other townsfolk were already at the Great Hall, and were mumbling to each other in hushed tones. It was quite clear that they all had a good idea concerning the reason the meeting was called; it had been somewhere around a week since Hiccup had saved Avril from the storm, so they were all well-aware of Avril and Hiccup's current conditions.

However, Astrid didn't think any of them knew anything about the Gemsho. Even if they had heard about it, they certainly didn't know what it was called, or the fact that it talked (which it did, according to Hiccup).

Once Astrid and a few other late Berkians arrived, the doors were closed, and the meeting began. Stoick stood up on the far end of the Great Hall, ready to start the meeting.

"I have called this meeting on the behalf of Hiccup, and Avril," he spoke, his voice booming and echoing across the vast building. "Hiccup woke up recently, and told me that...well, he called it a dragon, but he also told me that he wasn't sure." He took a step backwards as the crowd started mumbling again. "Do any of you have any information?" He glanced at Astrid, and she knew that it was her turn to speak up.

"I do," she said, and then stepped forward after Stoick nodded for her to do so. She stood in front of the Berkians, and spoke loudly. "Hiccup woke up again just a few minutes ago, before the meeting started," she stated. "He told me that the dragon is called...the Gemsho."

"How would Hiccup know that!?" one of the more ignorant villagers shouted. "It could have just been delirium, because of that gash!" People agreed almost instantly. Tons of the villagers had seen the wound Hiccup got when he landed all the while back, and word spread like wildfire on Berk.

"No, it's not," said Astrid, trying to choose her words carefully. The crowd died down eventually, focusing once more and Astrid and what she was going to say. "Hiccup knows...because the dragon spoke to him." People gasped, but no one spoke. Astrid took a deep breath, and then finished: "Hiccup encountered a talking dragon."

NOW, TO THOSE THO THINK THAT HAVING THE GEMSHO BEING A TALKING DRAGON IS LAME, I WANT YOU ALL TO KNOW THAT I GOT INSPIRATION BY WATCHING "THE HOBBIT" AND SEEING SMAUG AND HEARING HIM TALK. I THOUGHT IT WAS AWESOME AND I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE IT, SO...yeah. I don't know why my capslock was on that whole time...eh. XD
