"How...how was I supposed to know they would react like that?!" Hiccup said stressed, wringing his arms and pacing, gesturing everywhere as he continued his frantic explination, "Hey it's not like Toothless and I ASKED for them to attack! No, he didn't have to eat one but it isn't our fault they took it out on someone innocent!"

Mother l;aughed patiently at the flustered Viking, putting her hand up in the 'calm down' gesture.

"Relax my Summer! No one blames you for the attack on Winter. It was not your intention to harm anyone, therefore you cannot be held responsible for the Fey's actions."

Toothless nudged his rider gently, head bowed and murmuring as if apologizing, and Hiccup rubbed his head assuringly "I know bud. You were just curious. But for future reference, if it looks like a dragonfly...ask first before you eat it."

The Night Fury 'hrrrrrrrrmmmm'd his understanding and nudged his friend, nodding towards his saddle. Hiccup looked at Mother Nature, and she waved him off. "I suppose you must begin your training in really spreading your season before the next meeting, in wich you will debut as the new Summer. Fly around the Mohave, and practice raising the heat and controlling...those new helpers of yours."

Hiccup smiled. Controlling fairies was a definite fail on his part, so he had made a deal where he could work with something a little more his speed.

"Alright Bud, lets herd these Terrors and Fireworms to the desert and get training. We have a LOT of work to do!"

ROTG

Jack woke in the same place he had fallen asleep in, but there was something different. Wind was being blocked by something at his back. Pushing against the mound of white, he expected the pile to yield and let Wind in. His suprize came when he realized whatever he was shoving, it wasn't snow.

"What?" he asked, looking closer. His eyes went wide. "A Unicorn!" Jack had seen a few of the awe-inspiring beasts over the years, protecting the pure of heart and the innocent from who-knows-what horrors. He didn't expect one to come to his aid of all things.

"Why...Why did you choose me?" he asked hoarsely, refusing, out of the upmost respectr, to make eye contact.

You really don't recognize me do you...Daddy?

The words floored him.

Suddenly, the look of regognition crossed Jack's face, and he threw his arms around the powerful, graceful neck, tears freezing on his face as his joy fought to control itself.

"I thought I would never see you again! Oh Snowdrift!"

The mighty beast blew his nose in a contented sigh, and hugged the boy with his neck.

"Thank MiM! Thank MiM OH Snowdrift...my Snowdrift...You're back. I don't know how and I don't care...You're back!"

As long as you remain pure, Jack Frost...I always will be.
