(Chapter Sixteen)

(Tirdas 7th) (With Draco)

The morning was cold, colder than usual but to Draco it's nothing different to how cold Skyrim was so it wasn't bothering him in the slightest. Actually, this was a nice feeling to Draco even though with the cold rolling in that's telling him that he'll have to do something before the snow falls.

He was sitting outside of his tent Galaxy lying next to him watching as he was drawing something in his journal. From what Galaxy can tell so far it's a structure of some kind, it looks small with the way how the size looks but he's never understood measurement and knowing Draco he might have it bigger than it looks.

"Fos los verilir?" he was courious to know what his brother was doing.

Draco stopped in mid-drawing and looked up from his journal to speak "I'm designing a home for us, with the cold rolling in, I don't want us to be outside in the snow"

That makes sense but Galaxy never had any trouble dealing with the cold since his scales and the massive amount of heat flowing through his body. He understands that humans are different and handle things differently but it can't be that hard to handle the changing weather, especially Draco. With Galaxy's blood flowing through his veins he shouldn't have problems dealing with it.

"Hi mindok Zu'u dreh ni really praag wah uful do krah" Draco nods his head.

"Yes, I know but it's to keep you out of sight just in case if people find this place so you can just go inside and hide if needed" he explains going back to his drawing.

Seeing that Draco was busy with his drawing he decided to hold the questioning till later on but he did have one thing that he was wondering "Fod dreh hi lost wah koraav tol sen?"

"Not till tomorrow, I'm giving him some time to get his weapon of choice made so when he does show he can start practicing with that instead of the crap ones in the arena" he knows it sounded like he was complaining but it was bugging him to see how in poor state those weapons were even though he understands that it's only for practicing.

At that moment Draco stopped drawing realizing something, he realized that he's thinking of building a house HERE of all places "Why the hell am I thinking of building a house here?"

Galaxy didn't know what he meant by that since he just explained that he's only doing it to protect them both from the cold and the vikings finding out that he's been hiding a dragon from them.

Draco shook his head removing those thoughts out of his head closing his journal "I'm going to go for a walk, I'll be back in a little bit"

Galaxy nods his head watching his brother grabbing kami then stand up leaving his side to walk off to clear his head. He can tell that he has a lot on his mind but more so than before they arrived on Berk. Not knowing how to help since he's why they're stuck there all he could do is stay by his side and heal.

But Galaxy knows that there's one thing that's taking up most of his mind and it's worrying about their family, Rias the most. He doesn't want to say anything about it since he knows something that Draco doesn't, but he's afraid of what'll happen when he tells him. The only person that could tell him without hurting him, at least more then most, would be Raven.

Raven's been the only one to be able to tell him things that not a lot of people could tell him without him denying, or hurting them for their so called "Lying" to him.

But, for now he'll just have to try his best to help out until something good comes their way. Which he's really hoping for.

Already out of the cove Draco began to follow the slowly forming path that's he been taking for the past few weeks and followed it towards the village but he doesn't plan to go into the village since he just wants to stay at his camp or at least close by.

That's the plan, but of course not all plans go as smoothly as hoped, at least not to Draco.

Not far from the cove Draco began to hear his name being called from the distance, it was a females voice and he knows too well who it belongs to. He really doesn't want to deal with her right now but if he doesn't do anything she might end up finding his camp along with Galaxy.

Not wanting to put his brother in danger he follows the voice which was coming from the edge of the forest or near it, she sounds like she's far into the forest not too far from him and his camp. Walking off the path he was taking he walks through a couple of trees and bushes he followed where the voice was coming from.

"DRACO!" the closer he got the more annoyed he became. He can't stand when people call out his name so much, it gets annoying.

"Would you stop!" he yells, the voice goes quiet.

He passes through a couple of branches that lead out to a small opened area of the forest, he sees Astrid standing there with her arms crossed. He glares at her making it clear that he's annoyed and snaps "What is it?"

Clearly not happy with him snapping at her she glares back and says "I came here to ask you how did you save us from that cave yesterday?"

He rolls his eyes "I found you, I didn't save you and your friends, that was the people of the village, all I did was go and get them" he explains with a sharp tone.

"Then how did you find us, we didn't tell anyone…" she pauses remembering that she told her mom about it.

"What?"

"Nothing, never mind" she looked away for a second then back at Draco which still was glaring at her waiting for her to finish.

"Thank you for saving us" after thanking him she took off heading back towards the village.

Confused at the sudden change of tone along with her thanking him Draco continued his walk through the forest now hoping that she was the only one to bother him for the day.

During his walk he let the sounds of nature fill his ears it reminds him of the forest of Skyrim, at least where he use to leave which wasn't far from Solitude. There wasn't much nature around but just enough for him and his family to enjoy.

"I hope Johann gets the letters to them soon, this is not easy to deal with by myself, I don't have much tolerance for these people" he says to himself.

Draco's always had problems with people even way before he ran into any vikings or anybody for that matter. People has always been annoying too him but ever since he met his now to be family he's gotten over that but only for them.

But now since he's alone (not counting Galaxy) he's gone back to avoiding interaction with people, or at least causul interaction but it seems like he can't avoid. Everyone just seems to come too him even though they can clearly tell that he's not wanting to deal with them.

That's why today he's just going to stay at camp so he can catch a breather away from the villagers even though it's already been slightly ruined due to Astrid finding him before the day could get fully started and if she found him then the others might come looking for him as well.

If that comes to be the case then he'll have to be on alert all day so that nobody gets close to the cove and Galaxy.

He knows that he'll be careful but if they get lucky and get the jump on him then he'll be vanuable and wouldn't have much of a chance too handle all of the vikings that might show up and kill him then they would come after him.

But what really bothers him is that Hiccup still knows about them but hasn't brought it up to him or to anyone else for that matter and he can't say it worriers him but it's concerning.

Maybe he'll confront Hiccup about it but since he's not done or said anything to anoyone just yet he shouldn't push his luck. Not having a clue if Hiccup really does know that Draco is staying with a dragon bothers him because if he were to confront him about it and he didn't know then it could ruin everything and just cause him trouble in the long run.

The only thing he could do is keep an eye on him which he's actually getting tired of doing, watching over people is boring for to him, that's why he would leave it to Raven or Sal since they usually don't mind doing it when asked.

Sometime Nima doesn't care for watching over someone but he doesn't really trust her with a job like that due to her child mind. Nima isnt one to sit still either so if she was left with someone the odds of her just leaving them by themselves are high.

Frey is surely not good with watching over people, she would just tell them to watch over themselves and leave them where ever they're at even if it's in the middle of danger or out in the middle of no where. That girl is beyond useless when it comes to things like that.

But this time it's his turn to do the job and keep an eye out for him since he can cause the most trouble for him and Galaxy .

His stroll through the woods came to a end when he heard the sounds yelling and roaring coming from the village. Knowing what that could mean, means that a dragon attack is happening but that doesn't make sense is that from what the berkians say they only attack at night so why are they attacking during the day.

Not wasting a second longer he took off in the direction of the village.

Nearing the edge before heading out into the open Draco could see everyone, plus the dragons fighting it out, he could even already smell the smoke from the fires that have broken out throughout the village.

Before walking out into the open he stops and takes a quick look at his person to see if he has anything that he'll be able to use to fight since he doesn't/can't use kami.

After a quick check he could only find the two daedric daggers that he carriers around "I guess these will have to do for now"

Pulling out both daggers he bolts out into the open. Once leaving the forest some of the dragons around there instantly noticed him and stopped fighting who ever they were fighting and went for him but some of them were cut down by the vikings that they were dealing with since they turned their attention away from them.

Only a few dragons, about 4 of them were able to fly away and went straight for Draco. Once they were right above him they landed and let out a loud roar trying to intimidate him.

The four dragons that stood around him was two Deadly Nadders, one Monstrous Nightmare and a new dragon he hasn't seen before.

The dragon was purple in color, body is flat close to the floor, small legs, small wings in the back and larger wings in the front, it almost looks aquatic, small horn in the front of th skull and has a ton of teeth.

Not sure what kind of dragon that is or what it uses as fire he went straight for that first. Not a foot away from where he was standing the new dragon opened its jaw lifting it's legs up off the ground and lets out a concussive sound (aka a sonic blast) that threw him back and pass the other dragons knocking him to the floor.

Sitting up off of the ground he quickly jumps back up to his feet he took note that if he got any closer then he just was that could've killed him and that it should be watched.

Seeing that it's right more dangerous then the other three before him he has to get rid of it first but the other three are not going to make that easy. The Montrous Nightmare was the second to make a move and lit it's self on fire before charging at him.

Draco dashed to the side barely avoiding the charge but not a second after dodging another loud blast knocked him off his feet once again but this time he landed on his side. Next one of the Deadly Nadders began to uses it's fire on him forcing him to roll away from it losing one of his daggers in the process.

Out of the way he tried to get back onto his feet back the other Nadder rammed him. During it's ram he grabbed onto the dragons horn and without hesitating he shoved his dagger into the dragons eye. The dragon lets out a loud screech before stopping tossing Draco off of it.

Landing on his feet he looks around for his other dagger but another sonic blast knocks him off his feet again, getting frustrated he says "Ok, this is getting real annoying"

Getting back up from his feet he bolted towards the already hurting dragon that's still trying to get his dagger out of its eyes. Able to get close to the injured dragon he jumps up and grabs his dagger and with a little bit of strength he pulled it to the ground yanking the dagger out.

Now with one of his daggers back he runs for the Nightmare which was charging for him again but this time Draco was ready and dashed too the side, lucky for him that the dragons fire went out a while ago. As the dragon passes him he lunges towards the dragons side shoving his dagger into it.

The dragon lets out a roar before pushing Draco off of him followed by hitting him with its tail. After getting kocked back he gets attacked by another sonic blast but this one was a little bit closer which had a more impact on him and blasted him a good distance.

Landing with a hard thud he let out a groan "Damnit, I need to get me a weapon or just get rid of that damn dragon"

Getting up was difficult for him due to his aching bones from getting knocked around like a ragdoll but once up and on his feet he ran into the village dodging the other dragons, falling debrie, and the vikings. While running he looked around for a weapon that was still intact but so far nothing's come up just broken or shattered shards.

He heads for the forge as fast as he could, at least humanly could trying to reach the forge. When the forge came into sight he saw that the dragons that he was fighting before have landed in between him and the forge blocking his way and they weren't alone.

There were three more dragons with them. Two more of those dragons that has that sonic blast and another Nadder.

For a while they had a stare down Draco thinking that they're just trying to keep him away from getting a weapon but when he heard a thud behind him he quickly turns around and saw another Nadder but this one was bigger and looked a lot like what that Nightmare from a couple of days ago looked like.

The dragon lets out a loud screech and rounded its tail at him knocking him back.

Draco was able to land on his feet this time but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt. He looks back at the other dragons and saw that they were standing there seemingly not getting involved which he's somewhat thankful for.

Turning his attention back to the bigger Nadder he notices that it has jumped up onto a rooftop. The dragon opened its mouth letting a small light grow brighter until it started letting out a couple of fire shots at him.

Being able to dodge them he tries to use this to get away but one of the other dragons has move and blocked his path. He moves away from that dragon back into the middle.

Seeing that they're not going to let him leave he only had one thing left that he could think of and that was to use kami. He grabs the hilt of his sword and began to unsheathe it but stops when he heard a couple of vikings yelling and began attacking the dragons that were blocking his path.

Following that he heard someone call out his name "Draco!" he looks around and saw that it was Gobber with a sword in hand.

Seeing that he got Draco's attention he throws the sword to him. Draco was barely able to catch it due to his arm being injuryed but still was able to catch it. Now with a weapon in hand he turns to see that the dragon has gotten down from the roof and was now charging at him.

Since Draco doesn't have much strength left he lifts the sword up and when the dragon got in close he moves a little to the right followed which left the neck of the dragon wide open and with all the remaining strength he had he brought down the sword onto the dragons neck cutting it clean off.

The dragons body ended up tripping over it's own head lunging it forward straight into a nearby building. The remaining dragons saw this and took off to the skys returning back to the nest.

Everyone in the village cheered in victorious, patting each other on the backs, throwing their helmets up into the air, and high fiving one another. Draco on the other hand just stood there watching the dragons fly off into the distance quietly.

Finally out of range Draco dropped the sword he was given and began to make his way back to his camp but someone grabbed his shoulder letting out a small groan he turns around and saw that it was Stoick.

"Well lad, I can see you got tossed around but that was still a good show you displayed out there" Stoick laughed. Draco didn't though.

"So, you were watching instead of helping?" he asked annoyed.

"No, I just arrived when I saw you cut the head right off that demon, but that's not important right now, right now I suggest that you should go to our healer with the rest of the wounded and get patched up, you look like you went through hel" Draco didn't know if he should be mad or not but he wasn't going to go to a healer that's for sure.

"Thank you for the suggesting but I'll be fine, I just need some rest that's all" he yanked his shoulder away from Stoick and began to walk in the direction of the bridge.

Not after a few steps his left leg gave out causing him to drop to the floor "Damnit" he cursed as he tried to get back up.

Stoick walked up behind him and held out a hand which Draco took even though he didn't want to "I really do suggest that you go to the healer, you are not fit enough to walk all the way back to your camp in the stat you're in"

"I said I'm fine, I don't need no…" Gobber's voice cuts him off.

"Lad, you're are goin' to the 'ealer and if I 'ave to I'll drag you there I will" Gobber warned. Draco glared at him.

"Gobber, like I just told Stoick I don't need no…" Gobber cuts him off again.

"Yea, yea, I 'eard ya but I'm not going to let you talk your way out of this, you may be strong but just lookin' at ya is hurting me and you won't make it to ya camp in yor stat even if we let ya" this was getting tiring for Draco.

He stops talking and goes back to walking towards the forest. Again not far from where he was standing before his head became fuzzy and before he knew it he fell to the floor onto his sides blacking out.

Both Gobber and Stoick run up to the lad that's now passed out. Stoick looks at Gobber and says "We need to send him to the healer" Gobber nods in agreement.

Stoick called out to a couple of vikings near by and had them send Draco to the healer to rest up. Quickly picking him up they took him away and towards the healers hut.

"That lad, I'll admit he's a tough one but he's still human, honestly I'm surprised he survived what he just went through"

"Stoick, that lad, I will say this, he's just as stubburn as you probably more so" Stoick glared at Gobber.

"I'm not that stubburn" Gobber nods his head and says "Yes ya are, you just don't think you are"

With a huff Stoick walks off leaving Gobber in the plaza. Gobber couldn't help but laugh, he can't believe how stubburn both of those two are but Draco is probably the most stubburn person he's met so far, at least Stoick would go to the healers when told.

After done laughing he heads over to his forge and began to help out the best way he can to help the village clean up and that's too forge some nails and tools.

(Time Skip)

Draco's eyes began to flatter open, upon opening he was met with a roof above him. Alerted he sits up, in doing that a arching pain went up his spine causing him let out a groan. The pain eventually ceased after a second or two, once it did he looked around the room again and noticed that he was in a small room that's possibly the healers hut since that's the only thing that comes to mind.

"I see you're awake" says a voice coming from his right.

He looked over and saw that it was Gobber along with a small old women. Clearly not happy Draco glares at them out of annoyance "I told you I was fine, I didn't need to be brought here"

"Actually lad, ya did, your arm is badly bruised, received a little head trama, and some of your ribs are even bruised" Gobber explains.

Draco realizing that they have looked him over he looks down and sees a bandage wrapped around his chest along with one wrapped around his arms and he could feel one on his head as well. Gobber could see in the lads eyes that he's not happy but what they saw under that armor and cloth was frighting to him and even Gothi.

The amount of scars he had covering his body was almost impossible since most of them looked fatal but here he is still kicking. One scar in particular should've finished him off with how deep it went.

Draco could feel Gobbers eyes on him and clearly aware that Gobber's wanting to ask him some questions he kept his eyes down to his lap and said "If you're going to say something, say it"

"Lad, I'm not going to pry to get information from ya, I haven't told Stoick either but I would like to know one thing, how are you still standing?" that sentence just condradict itself.

"You just tried to pry an answer out of me"

"Lad, I'm not tryin' to pry it I would just like to know but if you don't want to say anything then ya don't 'ave too"

"I don't want to, so if we're done here can I leave" Draco was about to get up but Gobber placed a hand on his shoulder and pushed him back down.

"Lad, I can't let you do that, you're in no shape of leaving this hut and that's final" he was clearly mad at being force to stay but he can't do anything drastic and if he is as bad as they say than he can't risk it.

Defeated he lays back up against the wooden piece of the bed and stared at the wall. Both the healer and Gobber smiled seeing that they won they were about to leave the room to let Draco rest some more but before they could fully leave the room Draco speaks up and asks "What time is it?"

"It's night fall, you've been out for a whole day, you were really beat up" Draco was surprised that he's been out for a whole day but it isnt the first time.

"Ok" that's all he said before the two left the room closing the door behins them.

Still staring at the door Draco couldn't help but become curious about the dragons of the archipelago since he's never seen that dragon that knocked him around. He wonders if theres if thers more dragons that he's never seen before.

"I'll have to talk to Galaxy" he whispers to himself.

He thought for a little bit longer wondering if Galaxy's going to be ok without him. He knows that he shouldn't worry about him and that he can handle himself but since he's stuck in here he can't help it.

Seeing that he's got not much of a choose he layed back down into bed and closed his eyes hoping that the night can end and he can leave this place and go back to Galaxy.

A couple minutes have passed and Draco have fallen asleep a lot faster then he usually would but in a way he's lucky. Just around the corner in the hall stood a figure it stood there not moving, or even breathing.

If anyone were to walk up to it or see it they wouldn't be able to tell any details of it. The only thing they could say is that it looked like a human, a short one.

Before disappearing it spoke in a soft tone "Careless…"
