AN: Hey guys. Totally forgot that the last chapter wasn't finished yet. So here's the rest :-D
Chapter Fourteen: An escaping dinner (…) -Part 2-
Before they settled down for the rest of the night, Hiccup and Toothless made sure that this island really wasn't inhabited. But except for a few rabbits and squirrels they didn't find anything.
Hiccup crashed down on his makeshift bed and was lost in the world of dreams.
Despite the eventful night before he couldn't sleep for long.
Before sunrise he was up again and sat on some cliffs while watching who the east turned from black to blue to blood-red.
He sighed and turned the tooth in his hands.
Something of the previous night still bothered him.
"You will regret coming here. You all think you can have our island. You all think we will give it to you. But this is our home and we won't let you get your dirty hands on them."
"We gonna kill you and when we are done, when gonna send your body as a warning to your people. We will never give you them."
"You want our treasure! You planned to attack us with your beast there!"
The chief's word echoed in his head.
What had he meant? What treasure?
Hiccup doubted there was anything valuable on the island.
He looked again at the tooth and turned it in every possible way.
He then realized something he hadn't seen before.
There was a hole in the bottom that had been sealed with something so that it was hidden from sight and only recognizable when looked directly at it.
He carefully shook the tooth and to his own surprise he heard something inside moving.
How had he not noticed earlier?
To give him credit, he had been in a life and death situation. Maybe that's why.
Carefully he pocked the sealed hole until it gave away and something fell into Hiccups lap. It was some kind of stone, big and heavy and see-through.
He picked it up and held it against the rising sun.
"What is that?" he wondered and turned it.
And then, suddenly, the stone started to glow. First he thought it was the sunlight but when the stone in his hand actually started to glow, he dropped it with a yelp.
It rolled into the grass and continued glowing.
Fascinated Hiccup stretched one arm out and touched it carefully. It was pleasantly warm and as his fingers touched it, the warmth seemed to spread into his whole body and eased the pain in his limps and the small scratched on his hands and arms disappeared.
When he pulled his hand away, the stone stopped glowing.
"Wow."
Hiccup heard about those stones.
They were called "Frigg's tears".
According to the legend, Odin was wounded badly in battle. Frigg thought he would die and started to cry over his wounds and some tears fell into the wound and healed him. The rest fell from Asgard and froze into stones that still had the ability to heal.
He though it was just a fairytale for little kids but here he stood corrected.
And suddenly he could understand why the cannibals were so afraid of intruders. The chief had said that there were more of those. If other clans would hear that, they would come and conquer the island, killing everybody to get the stones.
Hiccup thought back to the boy. No, he couldn't let that happen. He wouldn't tell anybody.
