So, language... yep, that was hard. I mixed a few languages together, using words from spanish, italian and dutch. It's not really about the correct grammar, just the words that Hiccup doesn't understand, and needs to learn. All these words come from google translate, which is, as you might know, not always accurate. So I apologize for any funky mistakes I made...

There's a list of words on the bottom, summarizing what words I used and what language they came from.

Enjoy!

The Adventurous Adventures of Hiccup and Wrenlou

Becoming Friends, Part V

'Wait... hang on, I think I got it... wait...'

Hiccup frowned, biting his lip. He was trying to remember the answer to the question Wrenlou had just asked him. Of course he knew the answer, but the tricky part was he had to know it in the language of Dragoncity too.

'No I don't got it. Man, this is hard! How did you learn mine in just three weeks!'

Wrenlou shrugged. 'Nobody came interrupting, I could focus all day long. Alright, different approach. Do you know Verdad o se Atreve? Truth or Dare?'

'No... I don't think I do... What is it?'

'It's a game. It's really simple. I start by asking you "Truth or Dare". You have to choose either one. Say you choose Truth, I ask you a question. Something like, I don't know... How old are you. For example. You have to answer truthfully, you can't lie. You get it so far?' Hiccup nodded. 'So, if you don't know an answer, just say "I don't know". Don't make stuff up. Alright, say you choose Dare. I can ask you something like, would you jump from the roof and trust Toothless to catch you. If it's something you would do, you say yes. If you then want to do it, you're welcome to, but ou don't have to. Again, if you're not sure if you would do it, just say so. Get it?'

Hiccup nodded, a little hesitant. 'So, I suppose I can't use Norse?'

'Just use the words you know. I will ask in my language first, then in yours, okay

Hiccup nodded again.

'Alright. You start.'

'But... me?'

'Just ask me Truth or Dare. And don't say it in Norse.'

'Okay... I think I can do that. What, what was it again?'

'Verdad o se Atreve. Just like that. You don't have to get the pronunciation right at the first try.'

'Eh... Vedad o se Atreve?'

Wrenlou laughed. 'Verdad. It's verdad.'

'Verdad... Verdad o se Atreve?'

'Yes, that's it! Hmmm... let me see... Verdad.'

''That's... truth, right?' Wrenlou nodded. 'Eh... So now I ask you a question, right? Any kind of question?' Wrenlou nodded again. 'Okay. I know how old you are... I met your parents... oh! What is Learners Bay like?'

Wrenlou scratched his head, frowning. 'What is it like... Well, it's a bay. Obviously. It's rather large. I think you have to see it as some sort of a U-shaped stretch of land. It's... damn, this is harder than I thought... wait, where's your notebook?'

'Em... I don't... Oh wait.'

Hiccup stood up and ran towards Toothless. After digging around in the saddlebag, he pulled his notebook and the pencil out of it. He ran back to Wrenlou and handed him the items. Wrenlou quickly flipped through the pages, stopping sometimes to look at one of the many things Hiccup had drawn. After some drawings of Lightcity, he stopped at an empty page.

'Okay, here's how it is...'

After a quick sketch and a lot of talking, Hiccup nodded. He had realized he had to see the bay for himself to fully understand what it was like. He did understand that it was quite a beautiful place, where the sunsets were always calm and the nights serene. After Hiccup had put his notebook away, laying it down next to him.

'Right. My turn. Verdad o se Atreve

'Verdad!'

'Lo que es Berk como?

'Eh... Did you just ask what Berk was like?' When Wrenlou nodded, Hiccup jumped up. 'Yes! I understood that!'

'Yes you did. Now answer the question. What's it like?'

'It's always cold. There's always snow. Wait, here, look.'

He showed Wrenlou the first page of his notebook, where he had drawn the map of Berk while he had gone looking for Toothless.

'This is the village. This is Raven Point, where Toothless came down after I shot him. Here's Thor's Beach.'

Wrenlou took the notebook from him, staring at the page. 'It really is tiny, isn't it.'

Hiccup nodded. 'Does that answer your question okay? I don't really like to talk about it.'

'Sure it does. Your turn.'

'Verdad o se Atreve.'

'Hmm...' Wrenlou tapped his chin with his finger. 'Atreve.'

'Okay... I dare you to stand on Snowflake's back while she's flying!'

'Stand on her back... I might do that. Not at the moment though, at Learners Bay.'

'But you would do it?'

'Sure! Why not.' He chuckled when Hiccup grinned. 'My turn again. Verdad... o se Atreve...'

Hiccup promptly started laughing at the way Wrenlou had asked the question. He had made it sound like it was something creepy.

'Verdad.'

'Again? Alright... Qué tipos de dragones viven en Berk?'

'Eh.. I understood the dragones... dragons, right?'

Wrenlou nodded. 'Qué means what, tipos is types, de is of, dragones you guessed, viven means live and en means in, or on. So the questions is...'

'What types of dragons live on Berk?' Wrenlou smiled and nodded. 'Em... we have Deadly Nadders, Gronckles, Hideous Zipplebacks, Monstrous Nightmares...'

Pesadilla Monstuosa, I'm familiar with those. I have no idea about the rest though...'

'Pesadilla... Monstruosa... That's a Monstrous Nightmare? What's a Night Fury?'

'Furia Noche. Fury of the Night. You know what, how about you ask me one more, I ask you one more, then we just drop the whole game. I think it's easier if you just ask me.'

Hiccup nodded. 'My turn, right?'

'I can spare you the question. Truth. No, wait, Verdad.'

Hiccup smiled. He pulled his legs up, wrapping his arms around his knees as he stared out over the ocean, trying to think of a question.

'What do you learn in Learners Bay?'

'Flying, obviously. Fighting, both with a bow and a sword. You said you had a bow, so you have some experience right? We built it up. We start with shooting at stationary targets, while being still ourselves. Then the targets stay still while we move, then the other way around. The last step is moving while shooting a moving target, like when you're hunting from the dragons back. With sword fighting we learn different things, and we train both hands. Besides the weapons and the flying, we also have history, astronomy, science. Bunch of other boring things.'

'It sounds great! History of Dragoncity?'

Wrenlou nodded. 'Of Dragoncity, and of the Night Fury's. We also learn how to act in certain situations, like when things go wrong. We are taught some basic medical knowledge, which was how I was able to save your life.'

'Awesome... I can't wait! I want to go there now!'

'We'll get there soon enough, don't worry. Now it's my turn again. Verdad o se...'

'Dare!' Hiccup shouted. 'No... em... Atre...ve, right?'

'Okay... dare it is. I dare you to show me your most dangerous stunt when we are in the Bay.'

'I can do that... yeah, I will do that.'

Wrenlou smiled, but Hiccup grinned. His most dangerous stunt involved jumping from the dragons back, falling freely through the sky. He doubted if any of the riders at Learners Bay had ever done that.

'Wren? When did you start flying lessons?'

'About six months ago, at the start of year three. Now, come on, ask away. If course the language is a lot more than just words, there are nouns, adjectives, verbs... grammar... you know, the whole thing, but knowing words will help you learn. I could start by telling you the basic things, is that okay?'

'Sure... I guess.'

'Right. You know good day.'

'Buona... giornata, right?'

'Yes. Now, you should know good night.'

'Eh... I don't think...'

'Think of the Night Fury, what is night?'

'Noche! Buona noche!'

'Not entirely. It's buona notte. Usually we say buongiorno and buonasera, which means good morning and good evening.'

'Buongiorno and buonasera... I can remember that.'

'Alright. Now, what do you want to know right now?'

'I don't know... can you tell me some dragon riding terms? Like... wings or something?'

'Wings are vleugels, the tail is called a staart, legs are piernas...'

'Wait! Let me write it down!'

Hiccup grabbed his notebook and pencil, quickly flipping through the pages until he found an empty one. He quickly scribbled down the words as Wrenlou repeated them, adding more. His list grew and grew, spanning almost nine pages when Wrenlou stopped.

'You should read some books. It really helped me. We have a few books in my language as well as yours. I used those to learn.'

Hiccup nodded. His mind was spinning. As he was reading the list of words again, he frowned.

'Wrenlou? Can I ask something?'

'Certainly.'

'Is it hard? Your language?'

'I don't think so, but I was taught it from the moment I started talking. I don't think it will be too hard though, and I'll be here to help.'

'Okay. There's just so much to learn. Your language, your rules, fighting, flying...'

'You'll be fine. You already know how to fly. You've been flying before I did. You've been on the run before we started flying with our dragons, surely you are better than we are.'

'But I didn't have my dragon since he hatched. Our bond is different.'

'That doesn't make it any less strong. You and Toothless are close, very close.'

Hiccup smiled. 'Wrenlou? What is my name in your language? And Toothless'? And Snowflake's?'

'You mean literally translated? Let me see... Hiccup would be Hikkie, Toothless... Toothless would be Tandloos, and Snowflake is fiocco di neve.'

Hiccup chuckled, then started laughing. 'Hikkie? Really? Oh my gods... I like your language! I like that name!'

'I will NOT call you Hikkie.' Wrenlou said, standing up. 'I will not. I refuse.'

'Okay okay, I guess we can stick to Hiccup. What's your name?'

'You mean translated? Well, Wrenlou means gentle, if that's what you mean.'

'Really? Gentle? That suits you.'

Wrenlou started laughing. 'Yeah, I guess it does. Okay, enough with the language today, it's boring. Lets go somewhere fun.'

'My head is spinning anyway. And I think I'm getting a headache.'

'Hmm... I know the perfect place to clear your head. Come on.'

Hiccup followed Wrenlou down the beach. They walked along the seashore, the sand slowly turning to stone, the path taking them up. They stopped at the edge of a cliff and Wrenlou turned to Hiccup.

'This is amazing. Watch.'

He hopped on Snowflake's bare back, holding on to one of the spines. He gestured Hiccup to do the same with Toothless.

'We can't go flying! He doesn't have his tailfin! And I thought we were forbidden to fly...'

'Oh, we're not flying. Look.'

Snowflake launched forward, jumping off the cliff with her wings stretched. Hiccup gasped as he watched her fall, but suddenly, she shot up, not even moving her wings. Toothless wailed, moving closer to the edge. Hiccup jumped on his back. It felt strange to be on the dragon's back without the saddle. Toothless wailed again, then jumped of the cliff, like Snowflake had. After falling a little, the wind caught the dragons wings and carried him higher into the sky. Hiccup's eyes widened in amazement.

'How is this possible?' He shouted to Wrenlou

'No idea!' Wrenlou shouted back. 'Isn't it great?'

Hiccup smiled widely. For the first time he was flying Toothless' without the saddle. The air lifting them higher and higher felt warmer than the rest, but he didn't even care. Toothless wailed loudly, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. When Hiccup looked over at Wrenlou again, his smile got even wider.

Wrenlou was standing on Snowflake's back.

He had an almost ridiculous smile on his face as he waved at Hiccup. Carefully he sat down again and steered Snowflake closer to Hiccup and Toothless.

'That was awesome!'

Wrenlou shrugged. 'Here it's easier. The current keeps you from falling.'

'It still looked dangerous.'

'That's because it was.' Wrenlou looked down. 'We should get back down.'

Hiccup glanced at the ground. The island had shrunk, no more than a rock on the ocean.

'How do we do that?'

'Easy, we glide down. Come one.'

Snowflake flapped her wings, leaving the upward current. She circled down, hardly using her wings. Toothless followed. Hiccup was clenching onto the dragon with all his strength, afraid he might crash, but nothing happened and they landed safely.

'That was so amazing! Can we go again?'

Wrenlou laughed. Not the moment. Maybe later. Right now we have to go back to Dragoncity. It's getting late again, and tomorrow we have to get ready to leave. Lot's of packing, very boring.'

'Are we leaving tomorrow? I thought we were laving the day after tomorrow.'

'We are, but it's best if we pack tomorrow. That way we can leave early. It's been nearly five weeks since I found you, the sooner we get back there, the better.'

Hiccup nodded, the dragons ran along the beach, chasing each other, their riders still on their backs.

'Wrenlou? Do you ever fly bareback? Besides there, I mean.'

'I want to, but Dale won't let me. He says it's to dangerous. But I think it's the ultimate trust exercise. You have to completely trust your dragon if you have nothing to hold on to. So I will fly bareback, even if he says no.'

Hiccup smiled and looked at Toothless tail. He felt guilty for ripping the fin and robbing the dragon of his flight, but now he realized what he robbed himself of. He would never be able to fly Toothless bareback, unless he could come up with some contraption to control the fin without the saddle.

The fin would grow back, Wrenlou had said, but it will take time. Fifty to eighty years.

He sighed. Toothless would have to wait fifty to eighty years to be able to fly without him again. By that time, he might not want to anymore. Maybe he wouldn't even be able to do so anymore. Maybe by that time, he needed the weight from his rider to steer straight.

'I'm sorry bud.' He mumbled, placing his head on the dragon's head.

Toothless crooned in response, running faster to be able to run next to Snowflake. When they slower their pace, Hiccup couldn't imagine how different his life would have been if he hadn't shot down the dragon, or if he had killed him.

And what would have happened if Toothless had never lost the tailfin?

He would have never learned the truth about dragons, that's what. He would still be the screw-up, the runt.

He shook his head, pressing his hands against his temples to get rid of the memories and questions that suddenly flooded his mind.

'Hiccup? Everything alright?'

He looked up at Wrenlou and smiled. He nodded, the memories fading, his questions buried at the back of his mind.

'I've never been better.'

'Good. That's good. If anything's wrong, just tell me, okay?'

Hiccup nodded again. Wrenlou had been with him constantly for the past few weeks, and he wondered what he would have done without him. How different would waking up have been, if Wrenlou had given in to the demands to go back to the bay. Would he have decided to stay then? Would he have found a home?

He didn't want to think about it and pushed the thought aside.

Wrenlou was the first real friend he had ever had, and the best friend he would ever have.

Words I used for the language of Night Fury Island:

Hikkie and Tandloos are the names of Hiccup and Toothless in dutch. It means the same, but personally I think Hikkie sounds like an endearment, something you would call a child.

Again, I apologize for any mistakes in the words or sentences. Google translate helps, but can't really be trusted. Feel free to correct me if you do know the proper way to say it, and I'm open for more words!
