Into the jungle

It has been two weeks since we arrived here and since we arrived a lot has happened. Toothless has taken to giving rides to the children who ask for it by using the prosthetic I made him that allows him to fly on his own. The parents always give me some different fruits called camu camu, casho, Chambira, carambola, guava and papaya to thank me for allowing me to give their children the most amazing ride for each of them, which allows me to make a healthy collection of tasty fruits and I'm able to save the seeds from them so I would be able to grow them at home. Scaulder has taken to helping the fishermen catch his dinner so he didn't have to lie around all day doing nothing and the fishermen always appreciated the extra help and paid me by giving me some of the fish they caught. Shadow and Snowflake basically acted as my own bodyguards only leaving me when I went to the bathroom. Then there is me. Some things had changed for me like for starters I now knew Mayan language, the Mayan gods, and the things to expect when I venture into the jungle and what types of fruit are safe to eat. I had of course taken this all down in my journal so I would be ready for the jungle. I had also put together my own stall in the market place with some of my extra stuff. My stuff was a huge hit considering I now have four turkeys, two alpacas, some new blankets made of alpaca wool which is insanely soft, some blankets with Mayan patterns on them, some new Mayan banners, some Mayan weaponry, some fine small statues that I could use for decoration, some masks made out of a blue stone they call turquoise, some turquoise, gold and silver jewelry including earrings, a skull with the front covered in turquoise which I plan to use as a paperweight, some pottery, such as bowls, cups, vases etc, some old Mayan scrolls. I also got my ears pierced for a gronkle iron axe, which would be a rip off, but the guy also gave me some Mayan earrings. I had also made an earring using one of Toothlesses scales. I have also learnt how to fight using their weapons and make their forms of art and it was surprisingly easy. I had also been able to create some designs for the Mayans to help them in their lives and even caught a thief who'd been wanted for months now.

I was now in my room putting on my jungle armor and grabbing some supplies because today was the day I was going to explore the jungle for the first time. I was taking this trip on my own because I wanted to survive in the jungle without the help of my dragon or wolves since they weren't going to be with me all the time and I wanted to test my limits out there in the wilderness. I got a lot of trouble from Toothless, Scaulder, Shadow and Snowflake when I first told them but after a day they accepted my decision. When I informed Gukumatz about it he made sure I was ready for it by telling me of all the creatures that I would encounter in the jungle and how to handle them. The plan was to have Toothless fly me to a clearing in the jungle where I would get off before heading out into the jungle for three days before returning on the fourth where he would pick me up.

Once I had my armor completely on and ready I walked out of my room and down the stairs where Gukumats, my wolves and my dragons were all waiting for me. Once I came out of the building Gukumatz asked.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yes, I'm ready to face the jungle." He patted my shoulder.

"Good luck my friend. Until you return your dragons and wolves will be taken care of."

"Thank you, my friend." I then turned to Shadow and Snowflake and gave each a rub on the head. "Stay out of trouble you two." I then moved to Scaulder and patted his nose. "Try not to eat the fishermen out of house and home while I'm gone okay big guy." He growled a chuckle before I turned to Toothless and hopped on before saying. "Let's go bud." He growled before we took off.

Half an hour later

We had been flying over the jungle for half an hour now when I felt we were deep enough in the jungle when I spotted a small clearing. I had Toothless land there before I hopped off and grabbed my bag which had four blankets, three hunting nets, two fishing nets, some rope, some medical supplies, some water and some food. I then switched his tail to the self-steering before I went up to his head and gave his nose a pat as I said.

"I'll see you in a three days bud."

He growled in understanding before giving my face a lick, which in turn made me laugh before he took off leaving me to wander the jungle. I decided I should start by checking out the surrounding area and mark a path around it so I know where to come so Toothless could pick me up. I marked the trail by carving a mark into some of the trees that I passed. As I explored the jungle got a little denser so I began cutting away some of the plants with my machete. I walked for a few minutes before I heard what sounded like a river. I followed the sound of the water till I came to a large river with plenty of fish in it swimming around. I smiled before saying looks like I have a way to grab meat while I'm out here. I then decided I should find a place to camp out for the night. I ventured back into the jungle and looked around trying to find a flat piece of land to set up camp on.

15 minutes later

I still hadn't found anywhere to set up camp and I was getting a little tired. I decided I should take a break so I went up to a large tree and put the bag with the supplies down next to it before I sat down against the tree before taking out a papaya from the bag and used one of the knives I equipped my armor with cut the sweet fruit in to two peace's before peeling the skin off one half while setting the other half on the side. I began to eat the peeled fruit and enjoyed the sweet taste. I closed my eyes so I could enjoy the flavor of the fruit for a few seconds before I heard a tiny thump in front of me. I opened my eyes and saw two monkeys with white fur covering the top part of their body and upper parts of their arms while the rest of their fur was black. They also had the cutest little pink faces and little black eyes. I recognized them as Capuchin monkeys from what Gukumatz told me. They appeared to be looking at something with hunger in their eyes. I followed the direction they were looking it and saw they were staring at the other half of my papaya. I smiled at them before cutting it in two and held out the two slices towards the monkeys and said.

"Come on I'm not going to hurt you."

They cautiously approached my hands with the fruit. They slowly reached out and grabbed the fruit I was offering before holding it to their chests and backed up quickly. I smiled and continued to eat my own fruit while they ate the fruit I gave them. Once I was done eating I got up and decided to find a place to sleep tonight. I then looked at the two monkeys and asked.

"I don't suppose you guys know where I can sleep for a few nights." They looked at me confused and I just let out a small laugh. "Look at me talking to a pair of Capuchin monkeys." I rolled my eyes and shook my head. "I've really got to be more social with more humans."

I then watched as the two Capuchin monkeys began to climb up a tree. When they reached a branch and looked down at me. I stared at them for a moment before I shrugged and decided that I might as well keep looking for a place to sleep tonight. I then continued with my advances into the jungle while every now and again slicing away some forestry with my machete while marking some of the trees so I would be able to find my way back.

10 minutes later

I found a small clearing that would be big enough for me to camp in. I smiled before I heard a rustling from above before some leaves fell on me. I looked up and saw the two Capuchin monkeys from before. I chuckled and said.

"Are you two following me?"

They just gave me confused looks so I just shrugged and started to set up camp. I first put my bag with the supplies down in the middle before I decided to first set up shelter. I then put together a small shelter by stabbing four large branches into the ground and hanging the corners of a blanket I brought on top of them and making sure they were on tight. I then grabbed some soft leaves and placed them under my shelter before covering them with another blanket I brought with me. I looked at what would be my shelter for the next three days and smiled since I was satisfied. I then proceeded to put together a fire pit by grabbing some stones and place them in the outline of a circle on a dry spot before putting some dry would and leaves in the middle. I smiled before I looked around and saw that some wild animals could come and hurt me in my sleep. I decided I'd put up a fence around my campsite to keep them away. I then gathered a large amount of branches and sharpened the tops of them before I stabbed them into the ground around my campsite.

20 minutes later

I had just finished setting up the fence so I wouldn't have to worry about any predators walking into camp. I then decided to do some fishing to catch some dinner. I grabbed my fishing net along with some guavas I had in my bag and put them into my armors satchel. I then left through the makeshift gate I had put together and walked to the river. When I reached the river I set up the fishing net and went to a nearby tree. I sat against it and began to sharpen my machete to pass the time while I waited for some fish to get caught in my net. As I sharpened I heard the sound of something up in the trees. I looked up and saw two black monkeys with white patches over their faces. I recognized them as spider monkeys by the way they were using their tails like extra hands. I smiled at the way they climbed around the treetops. I smiled and put my machete away and watched them for a bit. I watched them for five minutes before I saw one of them take a piece of fruit from the tree and give it to its friend. I smiled at the kindness of the one monkey I then took out my notebook and gently sketched them. Once I finished I decided to check my fishing net. I walked over and pulled the net out of the water and found it had about twelve piranhas so I'd have dinner tonight, and breakfast for tomorrow. I smiled before picking up my net with the fish and putting it over my shoulder. I then began to go back to my campsite.

I arrived back at camp easily with no trouble and used some rope to hang the fish up on a nearby branch to let them dry before I decided to start a fire to cook my food since it was getting dark. I hit to stones near the wood to get a spark made a fire easily. I then looked up the tree where the two Capuchin monkeys were and found them still sitting on the same branch. I smiled at them and took out two guavas before I looked at them and asked.

"You guys coming down for dinner?"

They slowly crawled down from the tree and up to me. I kneeled and gave them each a guava. I then gave each a gentle scratch on their heads and to my surprise they didn't scurry away in fear but actually leaned into it. I smiled at them and said.

"Well looks like I've made some new friends."

I then got up and went over to see how my fish were doing while my two new monkey friends went back up the tree to enjoy their guavas. I then went over to my fish and felt them to see if they're ready to start cooking. They were still wet so I just went over to the fire and sat down by it. I took out my journal again and looked at the capuchin monkeys sitting on the branch and began two sketch them. I continued to sketch them as I waited for some of the fish to finish drying so I could cook them properly. I waited a couple minutes before I checked the fish again. I smiled as I felt the piranha fish because they were now dry and ready to cook. I took four of the piranhas and impaled them on sticks before I held it them over the fire and began to cook them. I cooked them for two minutes before I felt they were ready to eat. I took one and took a bite and found it to be quite delicious. I then proceeded to enjoy my meal of fish.

Once I was done I looked at the Capuchin monkeys who were looking right back at me. I smiled at them before lying down on the grass and looking up at the stars. To be honest it had been a while since I the last time I just laid down and enjoyed the beauty of the stars. I then heard the crunching of leaves approaching me. I looked towards the sound and found the monkeys approaching me. I saw them simply giving me curious looks so I merely smiled and lay back down as they it me. Once they were right behind me it they leaned their heads over my face as I chuckled as I said.

"Sometimes you've just got to stop and enjoy the little things in life like the beauty of the stars." They then lay down next to and looked up at the sky. I then saw that one was a male while the other was female before I returned to stargazing.

10 minutes later

I let out a yawn and decided it was time for bed. I then got up and went over to my makeshift shelter and rested under it and it wasn't long before the monkeys climbed back up their tree I then leaned out from my shelter and looked at the two-capuchin monkeys and said.

"Goodnight." They simply stared at me. I then laid my head back and let sleeps sweet embrace take me.

Morning

I got up and stretched out my limbs while yawning. I smiled before getting out of my little shelter and looked up at the capuchin monkeys and saw them fast asleep on the tree branch while their arms and legs dangled on the sides of the branch. I chuckled at them before I walked over to my fireplace and put some fresh wood on it so I would be able to start another fire. I then decided to try catching some more fish so I would have some fish to eat I picked up my fishing net before I walked out of the campsite and made my way to the river where I set it up. I then decided I might as well go back to camp to have breakfast. Once I made it back I found the monkeys were awake and waiting for me. I smiled at them and said.

"Morning you two I take it you guys wants breakfast."

They just looked at me confused and I smiled at them before grabbing the two guavas for the monkeys to eat. I took out a papaya for myself to eat along with the leftover piranha. I sat down against the tree and ate my fruit while my fish cooked while the monkeys enjoyed their share of the food. Once I finished the fruit I ate the piranha. Once I was done eating I decided I should go check my fishing nets. I then stood up and looked at my monkey friends as I said.

"I'll be back in a bit you guys." The monkeys just stared at me confused.

When I reached the river I found it filled with more fish than it was last and smiled. It did however take me a little longer to get the net back to the camp though. When I got back I hung the fish up to dry and since there wasn't that much to do I decided to explore the jungle a bit. I then grabbed some fruit incase I got hungry before I said.

"Time for a nice little hike." I then looked up at the monkeys. "You guys want to come?" They merely hopped onto the branch above me so I guess they wanted to stay up in the trees. We then began our little walk into the jungle.

1 hour later

We have been walking in the jungle for an hour stopping every now and again for me to mark our trail and the walk has been amazing since I have seen so many new species of bird, bug, frog, rodent and snake. As we walked I heard a snort coming from the side of us and looked and found a peccaries glaring at me before it charged. The Capuchin monkeys quickly got off their branch and jumped onto the branch above me as I caught the peccary in charge before I twisted it to the ground pulled out my knife and stabbed it in the neck bringing a quick end to its life. I smiled at the body before looking at the monkeys as I said.

"Sometimes you have to defend those who are trying to defend you." I then looked at the animal I just killed. "Guess I have some more food for tonight guys."

I then picked up the Peccary body, which to the weaker version of me would be impossible since it's two hundred pounds, but since I've been working out so much with my dragons. We then began the trip to the camp.

Once we got there I was exhausted from carrying the dead Peccary. I quickly dropped it before collapsing on the ground while I said.

"Now that was a real workout." I took a few deep breaths before going to my satchel and grabbing my water jug and taking some gulps of water. When I was done I let out a sigh. "That was refreshing." I then walked over to the fish and checked how they were doing and found them drying well before I looked at the capuchin monkeys. "Well what do you guys want to do now?" They stared at me confused before I chuckled. "Why don't you guys go and do whatever you want to do for a bit while I start carving up the Peccary?" They then just walked off into the jungle thus leaving me alone. I smiled since it meant I could get some peace while I cut up the Peccary. I then took out my knife and started to skin and carve it.

Half an hour later

I was finally done with skinning, cutting and hanging the meat of the peccary up. I had laid the skin out in a sunny spot to dry when I heard the shaking of leaves. I turned towards the sound and found the two Capuchin monkeys on a branch before they climbed down and came up to me and dropped some fruit at my feet. I smiled at them and guessed that this was their way of saying thanks for being so nice to them. I smiled at them before I gave each a scratch on the head as I looked at them and said.

"Don't get used to it I'm leaving in a few days."

They just gave me a blank look before I chuckled and rubbed their heads. I then went over to the fruit the capuchin monkeys gave me and put them away in my bag. I then decided I might as well relax now so I took out my journal and began to sketch some of the things I had seen in the jungle before I dozed off.

Sun down

I woke up with a jolt and saw it was getting dark so I asked myself.

"How long was I asleep?" I then stood up and stretched out my limbs. I found one of the Capuchin monkeys sitting in front of me while they stared at me curiously. "Dinner time I guess."

I took some of the fish I had caught for me. I then went over to my satchel to grab some fruit for the monkeys and some water for me. I went over to my satchel and grabbed some fruit for the monkeys. Once I picked out some Guavas and mangos I reached towards the opening to get some water before the jug of water I wanted just popped out of the top. I then took the jug and looked at my satchel as I said.

"Thank you."

I then walked away to give the capuchin monkeys their fruit before I realized that my bag just gave me my water jug. I then noticed that one of the monkeys was missing so I put the jug down and gave the one monkey her fruit before going over to my satchel and looking in. I saw a pair of eyes staring right back at me and smiled as I noticed they belonged to the other capuchin monkey. I chuckled before gently picking him up and saying.

"Well aren't you a curious little fellow."

He then climbed onto my shoulder and sat down. I rolled my eyes at this and walked over to the fruit I left for him and his friend. I kneeled down in front of the fruit as he climbed down from my shoulder. I smiled at him before I lit the fire before I grabbed a piece of the Peccary meat and put it on a stick and over the fire to cook.

Half an hour later

I just finished supper and decided it was time for bed. I got up and stretched out my limbs before looking at the monkeys and said.

"Goodnight." They just climbed up the tree and waved at me before I went into my shelter and rested my head against the ground and said. "I wonder what adventures tomorrow will bring for me."

Morning

I woke up to the sun shining into my face. I got up and left my shelter before stretching out my limbs that had gotten stiff over night before I got out of my shelter. I walked over to the fire pit and threw some wood on it before starting a fire to cook myself up some breakfast. I had some of the peccary meat I had and put some fruit aside for the monkeys. As I ate breakfast I began to wonder what I should do today. I began to think about the different animals around the jungle and how I would love to take some home with me to train to help me. I decided that I would spend my day studying some of the animals to learn about their species so if I do get some I can take care of them properly, catch some poison dart frogs to take home so I could use some of the toxins that cover their skin and explore the jungle a bit. Soon enough the two monkeys I had befriended were up and eating the fruit I left for them. After breakfast I proceeded to make a basket out of some long grass to carry the frogs I plan on collecting so they can't escape and cause the animals or me harm.

One hour later

I smiled at the fine basket I had weaved since it wasn't to big that the frogs would have plenty of room to crowd around but wasn't too small that they would be all cramped up and at the bottom I put a wooden bowl which I could fill with water for the frogs. I looked at the basket and said to myself.

"And dad said I was wasting my time learning how to weave."

I chuckled at that before I grabbed some fruit from my bag for the monkeys, and me before putting into the satchel, which came with my armor before, picked up the basket for the frogs and put it on my back (Like a back pack) as I said.

"Time to do a little collecting." I looked at the monkeys. "You guys coming." They simply walked up to me and climbed onto my shoulders. I smiled at them before I began my trek into the jungle to collect some frogs.

10 minutes later

I arrived at a moist peace of forestland were there were many mossy trees and wet grounds so it was a perfect place for frogs to live but if you wanted to find some you have to look carefully for them. I then took the basket off my back and next to me before the monkeys climbed down my body and onto the ground. I smiled at them before I walked forward into the land and began my search for some frogs.

Half an hour later

I would say I caught a good number of frogs since I had captured thirty of them and of different species. They were all now in the basket with a full water bowl. I smiled at the two-capuchin monkeys and said.

"Well I'd say this was a good catch." They just looked at me curiously before I put the basket back on my back, kneeled in front of the two monkeys and held out my hands. "You guys coming." They just climbed up my arms and onto my shoulders. I smiled and we walked back to the camp.

10 minutes later

We arrived back at camp easily and I set the frog basket down against the tree with my stuff before. I looked at the position of the sun to see it was lunchtime. I then heard my stomach grumble and I laughed as the monkeys got off my shoulders and went over to my bag with the fruit in it before opening it and pulling out some fruit for them. The male then came up to me and held up a Carrabolla as an offering. I smiled at him before taking the sweet fruit and said.

"Thanks, little buddy." I then proceeded to eat the fruit.

Half an hour later

I had just finished enjoying my lunch with my two monkey friends and said.

"Well guys the day's still young so what do you guys want to do now?" They merely climbed up a tree as I smiled. "So climbing trees? Sounds good to me."

I then walked up to the tree and unsheathed the hidden blades in my armors wrists and shoes before I walked up to the tree and stabbed one of my wrist knives into the tree and then began climbing the tree by continuously stabbing the blades into the tree and pulling myself up. Once I reached the branch the monkeys were sitting on I didn't stop. I just kept climbing until I reached the very top of the tree. I at down on a branch and looked at the view and found it to be breathtaking. I then saw a flock of birds fly by and smiled at their beauty. I then heard a cracking sound before the branch I was standing on broke. I immediately began to fall but I had trained at home for this so I was ready and reacted by taking my whip and used it to grab onto a branch and swing. I swung onto a strong branch and looked down to see I was just ten feet from the ground. I smiled and retrieved my whip as I said.

"Now that would have hurt." I then hopped off the branch and onto the ground. The two monkeys immediately came up to me with concerned looks. I chuckled at them before I scratched their heads. "Don't worry I'm alright." I then went over to my shelter and lay down under it to take a nap.

Two hours later

I woke up and stretched out my limbs a bit. I got out of my shelter and saw it was nearing sundown so I decided to start a fire and get started on dinner. I started a fire easily and put some peccary meat over it and began cooking it. Once the meat was done cooking the two monkeys walked up to my sides where I took out a guava broke it in two and gave each apiece. I then got my own supper and we began to enjoy dinner. Once dinner was done I looked at the two-capuchin monkeys and said.

"Well time to turn in so I will see you two in the morning." I then went into my shelter let sleep embrace me.

I got up with a yawn and a feeling that today was going to be a good day. I got out of my shelter and walked up to the fire pit and put some wood on top of it so it would be ready to be lit at lunch. I then grabbed some fruit from my bag as my capuchin monkeys came down from their tree. I gave them their fruit as I said.

"Morning guys. Here's breakfast." They tucked into their breakfast. I smiled at them before enjoying my own breakfast.

Once breakfast was done I got up and looked at my monkeys before kneeling and said.

"Well I'm going to explore this jungle a bit more guys so are you two coming?" They walked up to me and climbed up my arms and onto my shoulders. "I guess that's a yes."

I then walked out of camp and went exploring with my two monkey friends. I then realized how long I've known them and I had yet to give them names. I then decided against it because I didn't want to get too attached to them since they probably won't want to come with me when I left the jungle and giving them names would just make saying goodbye even harder than it had to be. I shook the thought off before continuing into the jungle.

1 hour later

I heard the sound of a waterfall and decided to go check it out. When I arrived at the location of the sound I found a beautiful waterfall leading into a beautiful crystal blue lake. I smiled and decided that I should go for a dip. I let my two monkey friends off my shoulders before taking off my armor leaving me in nothing but some pants I wear under the armor and my stone of good fortune which I never take off. I then ran and hopped into the water and felt a rush of coolness cover my body. I rose up from the water and let out a relaxed sigh. I then lay on my back and just floated on the water as I looked up at the sky. I sighed and said.

"I wonder how things are going back in the village. They probably threw a great big party to celebrate me leaving." I then rubbed my chin in thought. "Maybe I should go back for a visit when I get home after all it's like they say you can't run from your problems and it would be nice to see Gobber again and maybe break a few of the other teens bones for all they put me through. Heck I might even be able to show everyone the truth about dragons." It was then I decided I'd return to the village for a visit and face my past and my people after I got settled back in when I get home.

I then swam to shore and dried off. I then put my armor back on and allowed my two monkey friends back onto my shoulders before walking back into the jungle. I explored it a bit more before I heard a loud roar like from an angry cat. I immediately said to my monkeys.

"Hold on guys."

I then took off running towards the sound. When I got to the source I found a very large snake, which I had heard people call an anaconda but this one was larger than any I had seen and it was hovering over the twos dead forms of a large golden cat covered in spots and a black furred version. I think they were called jaguars. The anaconda then circled the jaguars it killed revealing its right side to me and that's when I saw a it was missing its right eye. I felt my blood boil, as this anaconda was quite a famous snake to the Mayans for it was the beast that took Gukumatz's wife when it came into the city looking for food and tried to kill Gaya when she was a baby but her mother distracted it and got killed instead. That night Gukumatz lost the love of his life, Gaya lost her mother and many other innocent Mayan people lost their lives trying to catch or kill it. When I heard what this snake did I promised that if I ever saw this anaconda I would make sure it never harmed another and it looks like I'm about to keep my promise. I immediately took out my machete and my two monkey friends got off my shoulders figuring out I was about to get violent. Then just as the anaconda leaned its head forward to start eating the jaguars the right side of its head was looking in my direction so I was in its blind spot and I remembered from dragon training the best place to attack from is the blind spot so with out hesitation I took out my machete. I then screamed as I ran forward and brought my machete down on the back of the snakes' head with all my strength instantly cutting it off. I took a few deep breaths before sheathing my machete. I smiled down at the head and said.

"You won't be harming another innocent life ever again."

I then looked at the two jaguar bodies and frowned as I said.

"I was too late to save them." I began to feel teary eyed and then noticed the black female ones eyes were still wide open. It sickened me to no end so I gently kneeled and closed her eyes myself as said. "Rest in peace dear cats of the jungle."

I realized the anaconda had squeezed them so tight it not only suffocated them but also broke their ribs. I sighed and knew that this was simply the way of the jungle. I then stood up as my two monkey friends walked up and looked at the anaconda head for a moment before looking up at me and they immediately started bouncing around in what I'm guessing was joy at the death of that horrible snake. I smiled at them before the female of the two appeared to be attracted to something in a nearby bush since she walked over to it before she began acting like it was trying to tell me something by continuously waving her arms around and directing me to the bush. I slowly approached the bush and checked what was bothering the monkey. I moved some of the branches out of the way and gasped as there were two baby jaguars cuddled up next to each other and staring right up at me. One was black like the female jaguar while the other was golden like the male. My eyes widened at seeing the now orphaned cubs and had a flashback to the day I found Shadow and Snowflake. I realized that this was the same thing that happened with them and like them I couldn't leave these two jaguars out here to die. I picked up the anaconda head and tied it to my back so I could get it stuffed for a souvenir from the jungle before I gently picked the two jaguar cubs up noticing the golden one was male while the black one was female as my two monkey pals climbed up my body and rested on my shoulders. I then began the walk back to camp.

When we got back I gently placed the cubs down on my blanket to rest and put the head down by the tree, next to the bag where I kept my stuff. I saw it was getting dark so I lit a fire to start cooking dinner. I gave some fruit to the monkeys and gently opened up the jaguar cubs' mouths to see if they were ready to eat fish. I checked them both and found them both to have good teeth and judging by this and their size I would say they're two months old maybe three. I then grabbed some fish to roast for my dinner. I stabbed the fish on sticks and jammed the sticks into the ground near the fire so the fish would cook while I fed the jaguar cubs. I took a fish and cut it up into small pieces for the jaguar cubs. I sat down under the shelter and gently picked the two cubs up before I placed them each on my lap and gently hand fed them the fish bits. They each quickly bit into the food I gave them and when they were done they fell asleep. Once they were asleep I gently placed them on the blanket and got my own fish to eat. As I ate my fish I began to wonder how my capuchin monkey friends would take to me leaving tomorrow. I also began to wonder how Shadow and Snowflake would take to me bringing the jaguar cubs into our family like would they be happy to have new siblings and treat them nicely or be jealous and treat them aggressively. I shook my head and remembered that I raised Shadow and Snowflake to be kind gentle creatures that would only attack when hunting, in self-defense, obeying orders from me or protecting something they care about. I decided I'd deal with it tomorrow when I see them again. I then went into my shelter and laid near the cubs and went to sleep.

Morning

I was sleeping peacefully when I felt something pawing my face. I just gently brushed it off before I felt something lick my face. I then groaned and said.

"Okay I'm up I'm up." I then grabbed the creature that was licking me and found it to be the little black jaguar cub that was staring at me curiously. I chuckled as I got up and picked the young cub up noticing that it was a girl. I smiled at her before I felt the other cub paw at my waist as if asking. 'Can I have my sister back?' or 'Can I play to?' I smiled down at the little cub before picking it up and found it to be male. He gently pawed at my chest and I laughed. I then remembered that today was the day Toothless was meant to come and pick me up so I needed to pack up camp. I then gently put the cubs down and said.

"Time for breakfast."

I quickly went over to the fireplace and put some fresh wood on it. I then lit it before putting some fish over it to cook while I fed the two cubs and monkeys. The monkeys came down from their tree to get some breakfast like they normally did so I gave them some fruit while I cut a fish into piece's for the jaguar cubs. I gently fed the cubs their fish while looking at the jungle and said.

"I think I might actually miss this dense jungle and it's dangers." I then looked at the monkeys who were eating their fruit. "I'm really going to miss you guys." They gave me curious looks. "I'm leaving today and I'm guessing you guys don't want to come with me on my adventures." Surprisingly they came up to me and climbed on my shoulders and began nuzzling my face as if saying 'You aren't getting rid of us that easily.' I smiled at them before scratching their heads and said. "Welcome to the team then guys now we better finish breakfast so we can start packing up camp."

I then ate my breakfast while the monkeys returned to theirs. Once I was done I instructed the monkeys to put the extra fruit into my bag while I let the jaguar cubs play with each other since there wasn't much they could do now. Once that was done I began to take down my shelter. I started by rolling up the blankets and putting them by my stuff. I then took my leftover fish and put them in an empty basket I brought with me to carry stuff. I took a swig of water before putting some of it into the wooden bowl in the poison dart frog's basket along with some cut up guava fruit for them to eat and possibly attract some bugs for them.

Once camp was packed up I put all my stuff together and knew I would have to make two trips. I started with the stuff I originally brought with me such as blankets, tools and a basket of fish for Toothless. Before I left I looked at the monkeys and said.

"Keep an eye on things here guys. I'll be right back." I then went to the meeting point and just as I arrived a screeching sound filled the area right before Toothless landed in the area. The moment he laid eyes on me he jumped me and continuously licked me while I laughed. Once I was finally able to push him off I said.

"Easy bud I still have some things I need to go pick up from camp." He nodded. "Toothless wait here. I'll be right back and enjoy the fish I got you."

He then immediately began to walk towards the fish basket at which I rolled my eyes. I then hurried back to camp and grabbed the leftover fish and placed them in a basket and put it over one shoulder while I put the poison dart frog basket over the other. I tied the anaconda head to the top of the baskets before picking up the jaguar cubs and said.

"Time for us to get going." Then the two Capuchin monkeys came up to me and rested on my shoulders. I smiled before we proceeded back to the clearing where Toothless was waiting. When we got to the clearing and Toothless spotted us he took one look at the jaguar cubs and monkeys before he gave me a look, which clearly said 'More strays? Really?'.

"Don't give me that look. The cubs are orphans and the monkeys and me bonded over my stay here in the jungle." He then noticed the snakehead on top of the baskets and gave me a worried look. "I had a run in with the anaconda that killed some of the Mayans but don't worry I killed him before he noticed me and I'm keeping the head as a souvenir."

He just let out a huff before I tied the baskets to some hooks I added to his saddle to carry them after I moved into the hideout and started fishing with my dragons. I then gently put the jaguar cubs into a bag on the left side of the saddle I added to carry some extra stuff I find like fruit, minerals or in this case orphaned baby animals. I then tied the snake head to the back of the saddle and made sure it was on tight so it wouldn't fall off. The monkeys climbed onto the front of the saddle. I smiled at them before hopping onto the saddle and we took off.

Half an hour later

We arrived back at the city and landed behind the building I sleep in and before I could get off my saddle I was tackled off it by Shadow and Snowflake who proceeded to lick my face mercilessly. I laughed at them as I said.

"Hey guys I missed you to." Once they let me up they took notice of the two-capuchin monkeys sitting on Toothless's back staring at them curiously. I chuckled as I got up I pet their heads as I said. "Shadow and Snowflake say hello to two new members of our group."

I watched as Shadow and Snowflake slowly moved towards the two monkeys before leaning their heads towards them and before the wolves knew it the two mischievous monkeys had climbed onto their backs and were digging through the fur on their heads. Shadow and Snowflake looked at me confused before I chuckled and said.

"Just let those two do what they do guys."

I'm guessing Shadow saw the bag the jaguar cubs were in because as the Capuchin monkey was digging through his fur he walked over to Toothless and nudged the bag with his nose. When it nudged him back he growled at it. I replied to this by saying.

"Aw calm down you whiny wolf. I just forgot to tell you about our other two new family members."

I then took the bag and gently put it on the ground before the two jaguar cubs crawled out and looked up at the two wolves curiously. Snowflake approached them and looked at the two curiously before leaning her head down to the little gold jaguar and gently flipped him over before tickling his belly. I smiled at her before I looked at Shadow who was nuzzling the little females face. I smiled at the sight of them getting along.

I then heard footsteps running towards me from behind me. I turned and found my friend Gukumatz approaching me with a smile on his face. I smiled back as he said.

"Welcome back my friend. How was the jungle?"

"Thanks, and the jungle was amazing I even got some new friends and a souvenir that I think will put a big smile on your face." He then gave me a curious look.

"What would that be?" I then untied the anaconda head and pulled it off the saddle before showing it to Gukumatz. When Gukumatz laid eyes on it his jaw dropped as his voice shook.

"Is that- "I cut him off.

"Yes, it's the head of the Anaconda that killed your wife and some of your people."

Then before I could process what was happening he had me wrapped up in a big hug. Once he put me down he had both hands on my shoulders as he said.

"Thank you for ending the life of that devil snake Hiccup. Whatever you want you got it whether it be riches, women, food, land whatever it is you wish for you shall have it." I rubbed the back of my head.

"That's alright all I want is to get this head stuffed so I can mount it on my wall back at my hideout." He looked at me confused.

"Really? That is all you want? Honestly Hiccup I will give you some of our most beautiful girls, our most valuable riches and our finest land if you just ask for it for you have been a blessing to my people since the day you arrived." I looked at him confused.

"And exactly how have I been a blessing?"

"You brought my daughter back to me on the first day you arrived, you designed a water spreading machine allowing farmers to water their crops more easily which will aid my people for the harvest, you captured a thief who the guards had been after for months, you have sold weapons to my warriors which are far stronger than our regular ones, brought happiness and joy to the children by having your dragon give them rides, you've made Quetzalcoatl open up to us because before you came he never let anyone near him without hissing or lashing out at someone but now he's so friendly to people and now you have avenged my wife's death and the death of so many Mayans. You are a blessing Hiccup and a great man." I rubbed the back of my head and gave a chuckle.

"Please stop I'm blushing."

"Honestly Hiccup you just have to name it and it will be yours." I smiled at him before motioning to the anaconda head.

"Can you get me someone who can stuff this thing?"

"I'll have one of the servants take it to a man I know who is excellent at turning animal bodies into hunting trophies and honestly think about taking some women with you when you leave. After all it must get lonely on that ship with only your animals and dragons to keep you company." I felt my face go red and I realized Gukumatz was messing with me a bit.

"I'm not like that." He chuckled.

"I know you aren't Hiccup I was just joking but I have seen the way some of the female servants look at you and I'm sure some would fall over each other for a chance to be serving you." I looked at him confused.

"How do you know this?"

"I caught some gazing at you when you were exercising in the courtyard one morning and heard one say she wouldn't mind helping you in the fields." It felt like my head was going to melt off my head out of embarrassment before I shook my head.

"I really don't need any servants. I've trained my dragons and wolves to help me with everything."

"You amaze me Hiccup. Now come the slaying of the devil snake must be celebrated."

He then led me and Toothless into the palace with the two capuchin monkeys on my shoulders while Shadow and Snowflake trailed behind us while carrying the two jaguar cubs.

AN: Okay guys I hope you enjoyed the chapter and if you look at the length you will understand why it took me so long to write and post. Well the length and the fact that my family vacationed in Cyprus for two weeks were there were no plugs that my computer charger could use. Anyway I hope you liked the chapter because I am going to start writing chapters for my Alpha and Omega stories again so the next one may take a while so sorry and have a nice day.
