The Value of a Life

    What?! Where? How? "The answer to 'what' is that I saved Toothless by moving him out of the arena at the last second. The answer to 'how' is teleportation. Arcanis can teleport others as easily as they can teleport themselves. As for his location, Toothless is on a somewhat nearby sea stack to the west of the island." Revealed Gothi. Hiccup then took of in a westerly direction in search of his friend.

   Gothi smiled a small smile and turned to walk out of the cove. "Where will you go? Mildew is probably looking for you as well?" Asked Astrid. "There is an island about a days flight to the west. That is where I will be. You and your friends are welcome to join me." "Thank you for the offer, but we have to stay and fight Mildew."

   "Very well. I was no match for him on my own but maybe with time and training you could defeat him together." "Training?" "Training on how to fight effectively and how to strengthen the mind." "Could you stay and teach us?" Gothi looked at Astrid and then looked around at the sleeping riders and their dragons. "Perhaps. However, we cannot do it here. It is far too risky, for all of us. Meet me on the island I told you about and we will begin training."

   Astrid nodded and looked out to the west. Gothi followed her gaze. "Do not worry, Astrid. He will be back. Just give him time, he needs it. They both do." Astrid sighed and nodded. "What did Mildew offer you for helping him?" "Peace, happiness, a chance to start over." "Why did you save Toothless?"

   "I decided the life of others was more valuable than my peace. I couldn't stand by and watch as he destroyed the lives of others." Astrid nodded and went over to Stormfly and fell asleep. Gothi shifted and flew to the sea stack to inform them about the plans for the future.
