thought '...'

speaking "..."

Halla's point of view:

I ran as fast I could to my next destination making sure that no one was around. Luckily for me no one was 'Now if only the guards aren't there either' I thought, slowing my speed down and focusing on my surroundings.

As I came to the dragon arena I became much more carful with my movements, making sure that I didn't give myself away. I wrapped my black cloak away from me brining the basket closer to me.

As I made it to the arena, I saw that there were only two dragons outside of their cages. The Deadly Nadder and the Nightmare, I took a quick look around and found no one was around so I began walking towards the dragon.

The Nightmare seemed to hear me first because it lifted its head as I stepped closer. However when the Deadly Nadder heard me it started roaring like it did when I was with Gabriel. It started to lunge at me. I stopped in my tracks, looking around to make sure that no one was coming.

I quickly ran as close as I could to the Deadly Nadder without having to worry about being eaten.

"Please please be quiet," The Deadly Nadder still, roared, its face in a snarl. "Please I'm not going to hurt you but you have to be quiet please." I said in a harsh whisper. However the Deadly Nadder did nothing, but spike her tail. "No please you don't need to worry I wo-" before I knew it I was ducking as spikes were flung at me. One of the spikes caught my cloak tearing it, but it was better then me being cut…again.

The Deadly Nadder was trying to fly towards me, but was brought back to the grounds by the numerous chains. That still didn't stop it from still trying to fly at me. However the Nightmare rose as much as she could and snapped at the Deadly Nadder. With a swing of the Nightmare's tail it gently slapped the Deadly Nadder.

The Deadly Nadder glared at the Nightmare before glaring at me, but it calmed down curling on ground, but its tail was still spiked. The Nightmare just shook its head at the Nadder before lowering itself as well. I walked cautiously to the dragons now worried about not only the dragons, but also the commotion that we started.

"I meant what I said I'm not going to hurt you," I said, walking closer to the two dragons walking closer to the Nightmare than the Nadder.

"I know us Vikings aren't exactly known for treating dragons right…" I gave a dry chuckle "that's an understatement…but I want to help so I brought some stuff." I said, taking the basket out from under my cloak. The basket context was a little disturbed from me jumping to the ground, but nothing seemed broken.

"I brought some blood berries for you two and some ointment for your wounds. I'm not sure if it will help any, but I" I started to fidget with the bowl berries "but I…felt like…I needed to do something." I said looking the Nightmare in the eye.

It looked at me with kind eyes and it nudged my head with its nose. I smiled giving a sad laugh. "You know for a while I hated Nightmares for what they did to my mom…for what they did to me, but my hate was misplaced and for that I'm sorry." The Nightmare nudged my hand as if she accepted my apology.

I placed the bowl of blood berries in front of the Nightmare and as it began to eat, I took the ointment out. I wasn't sure if it would help on dragon hide, but it was amazing when handling human cuts. As the Nightmare ate I stood up slowly "This may sting a bit like I said I never done this before" I said, dabbing my finger into the ointment. I walked over to one of the more noticeable gashed on the Nightmares back. It stopped eating to give out a long hiss. I stepped back "I'm sorry I'm sorry" as the Nightmare calmed down I went to another gash "your gonna have to bear with me" I said, dampening my finger again.

I ran out of ointment, but I got some of the bigger cuts and gashes. The Nightmare had finished the blood berries a while ago and was now just lying there giving low whines here and there, but for the most part taking the healing session better than I would have thought.

"There all done" I said, where I could have sworn that the Nightmare sighed in relief.

I walked in front of the Nightmare and smile "There all done…that wasn't so bad now was it." The Nightmare gave a playful growl and as I looked into its eyes I could see age. Where Toothless' eyes were filled with curiosity, youth, playfulness, and at times showed the nightmares that still haunt him. However with the Nightmare it was like looking into the eyes of an elder, you could see wisdom and intelligence, but you also saw the wear that life seems to give with experience.

I lifted my hand to the Nightmare's face and left it there. It didn't hesitate to touch it with its snout. I smiled, and the Nightmare gave an airy chuckle. The moment was ruined by a loud snort that came from the Deadly Nadder.

I turned to the Deadly Nadder. "Don't worry I didn't forget about you." I said pulling another bowl of blood berries and placing it in front of the Deadly Nadder. The Deadly Nadder tipped the bowl over and turned its face the other way.

"Hey" I shouted, trying to stop the rolling berries. "That was uncalled for, if you didn't want them you could have just ignored them." I snapped, this dragon was really starting to annoy me.

I'm not the one that shot it with an arrow, I'm not the one that caged and chained it. I pouted, picking up the remaining berries and placing it in the bowl. I raised the bowl to the Nadder's face where it turned the other way; I moved the bowl the other way and the Nadder just turned the opposite way.

I scowled slamming the bowl down. "Fine than don't eat the berries that will help you." It glared at me and I glared back, completely forgetting that this was a dragon that could kill me in a second.

It gave a low growl and I mimicked it although mine didn't sound as vicious. "I'm just trying to help alright, so let me help." The Deadly Nadder glared at me for a while longer before lowering its head and taking a small bite of the blood berries. It lifted its head back to me as it slowly chewed the berries.

I smiled 'Its progress' I thought. "Are you going to let me patch up your wing?" The Nadder looks at me giving me a hard look. The Nightmare gives a small roar, which causes the Nadder eyes to narrow and jaw to clench. After a while I sighed thinking that it's not going to happen. As I turned away getting up the Nadder grabs the bottom of my cloak. As it gives me a slight pull I look back at it, the anger is it eyes is gone, but they were still wary.

I smiled "don't worry I'll try to make this quick" I said, reaching into the basket and pulling out another small container of ointment. "Now this is going to hurt, but it should fix your wing and shoulder." It nodded its head and I walked closer to the Deadly Nadder and found the wound make by Gabriel's arrows. "Alright you ready" I said, dabbing my finger in the cold ointment. It roared and I dabbed my fingers into the ointment smoothing it over the wound. I could feel the Nadders body tighten and shake, but its didn't utter a single sound.

"Almost done your doing good" I encouraged adding more ointment and spreading it more smoothly. After a moment the wound was covered in ointment and I stood up walking over to the wing. "Ready" The Deadly Nadder cooed and I placed some ointment on the top of the Nadder's wing. I sighed in relief the arrow had hit the top part of the wing which left a deep wound, but nothing that would leave permanent damage. 'The Nadder can still fly.' I thought, adding more ointment. The Deadly Nadder wing shook. "Its alright, I'm done" I said, capping the ointment.

Just as I was about to walk away the Deadly Nadder's tail swooped underneath my feet. "Woah" I said, falling on my butt "oww that hurt" I yelled looking at the dragon. It did nothing but scoot closer to me. "What's going on?" I asked as I watched the Nightmare reach for my basket and conceal it under its wing.

"Wha-" but before I could finish my question the Deadly Nadder lowered its wings covering me, the same way the Nightmare did with my basket.

That's when I heard it voices and footsteps. 'Shit' I thought, scooting closer to the dragon in an attempt to make myself smaller. 'This is bad really bad.' I thought, wrapping myself in my cloak.

I couldn't exactly hear what the man were saying, but their voices and footsteps were getting closer. 'Oh Odin help me' I thought, closing my eyes to give a little prayer.

Finally the man were close enough for me to hear them.

"Huh it seems that Nadder has been acting up again," said one man.

"Nothing, but trouble that one seems to be." Another one said.

"At least it still has some fight in it. Can't say much for the other one, it's to beat up to be any use to the trainees."

"Definitely not a trophy for the best Viking in the dragon academy."

The other one laughs "ah please you might as well say it, its not good enough to bring honor to Ash."

"That's true that boy is the embodiment of what it means to be a Viking. The way he trains and fights…his father should be proud."

"Ayy if only Stoics daughter was quarter of the Viking Ash was maybe she wouldn't be that much trouble." My jaw tightened 'Like I want to be a Viking.'

"Halla is a horrible Viking, what do you think of that story of her taking on three dragons."

The other one broke into laughter "Three dragons…HAHAHAH…. that girl would be dead if a baby one came at her…HAHAHA…three." The man still laughed and I couldn't help, but tightened my fists. "That girl is good for nothing," he said, his voice getting sober "she's the reason we lost the best archer on the island. The reason her mother died."

My heart stopped. It was more hurtful to hear someone else say it than it was for me to think it.

"Skulluim that's uncalled for." The other man claimed astonishment in his voice. I know Skulluim he was a good Viking one that my father valued he was usually with my father on his trips to the dragon nests, but for some reason he said that he would guard the livestock. I had never heard him talk before and now I wish he would just shut up.

"Its true and you know it. Rather have Valhallaram here than that talking fish bone. Besides if she was alive she could have given us a better heir."

"Skulluim that's enough your drunk"

"I might be, but that doesn't mean this isn't true and you know it. Can you see yourself honestly seeing yourself ruled by Halla" he says spitting my name like venom. "It would be chaos, Berk would be destroyed in an instant."

"uhh Skulluim lets just do what we have to do and get out of here alright…think you can manage that with your drunken self."

"Yah yah"

There was a long pause

"Skulluim"

"Yah"

"Where's the axe?"

"I thought you had it"

"No I thought you had it"

"You stupid idiot we have to kill the Nightmare before sunrise elders order." The dragons seem to give a screech at the exclamation that luckily sheltered my small gasp.

The man ignored the dragons roar probably used to the dragons screeching. "Pht I don't see why it has to be before sunrise"

The other man sighed, "Don't question the elders orders" he sighed again "come on lets go, the faster we do this the faster we can go home."

"I still don't see the rush that dragons gonna die one way or another what's another day or two."

With that said the two men walked away discussing something between themselves. I waited a moment longer trying to figure out what I had just heard. I wasn't sure what I should react to first.

But as the Deadly Nadder raised its wing and I saw the Nightmare I knew exactly what I had to focus on.

I stood up and ran to one of the spikes the Nadder had thrown at me. I didn't even care about being quiet or unseen I need to get the Nightmare out of this. It would be impossible for me to destroy the chains, but luckily for me the chains were attached to anchors that were locked in. I grabbed one of the spikes doing my best to pick the lock. I had done this before at the forge just for fun, but now it was important.

I worked the lock as quickly as I could and sighed with relief when the lock finally opened. However the Nightmare just laid there and even the Nadder had a sober look on its face.

"No" I said, working the chains off the Nightmare being carful to not drag the chains over any gashes or cuts. "No no no" I said kneeling in front of the Nightmare just as I thought, its eyes were vacant. "You can't give up," I shouted, lifting its head up. "You can't die like this." But still there was nothing. "Oh Thor why…why does every dragon I meet seem ready to die. " I shouted, standing up. "You have to get up, please you have to get out of here." My voice was getting louder and hysterical, but it still had no effect.

It wasn't until the Deadly Nadder started to shout as well that the Nightmare even twitched in acknowledgement. It looked at the Deadly Nadder and than at me. I was near tears I could feel the tears about to fall, but I can't cry right now.

Toothless jumped at the chance for freedom when I gave it to him, but the Nightmare didn't see interested in living. 'Its not like you can give someone a reason to live at the drip of a helmet.'

As the Deadly Nadder started to screech louder I couldn't help it I feel to my knees. Trying to wipe my eyes before looking at the Nightmare. "Please get up…I can't make you live, but please," I said raising my head to look it in the eyes I could feel a tear run down my face. "Find something to live for…please get out of here." I shouted, I lowered my head as the tears started to stream down my face. That's when I felt something press against my knees. It was my basket.

I lifted my basket in my lap looking at the Nightmare. That's when I saw it, the spark, the determination to keep on living. It rose on it two back legs shaking any remain chains on it. I stared smiling through my tears and before I knew it the Nightmare scooped me up and I was resting on its back as it gave off a giant roar. I gripped its lower neck not really sure what else to do and watched as the Nightmare burned the chains that once caged it to a crisp. Before giving off another loud roar.

However before I could cheer I heard loud footsteps coming our way and from the sound of it, it was more than just two people, but before I could look or even start panicking the Nightmare had taken off running top speed into the forest.
