Chapter 15: How To Use Lavender Oil
Shortly after I was done singing my friends came into the forest.
"(Y/n)!" Astrid called out
I stood up and walked towards them.
They all seemed very worried and stressed.
"We found out what was going on," Fishlegs said as he pulled out his botany book and showed me a page of a blue flower called Blue Oleander.
I shook my head "N-no. How did this happen?" I whispered as I read what the book says.
The flowers were poisonous to reptiles.
"It was Mildew. He planted these flowers all over Berk." Snotlout answered with his arms crossed. He looked upset and rightly so.
I felt so angry and disturbed but mostly I felt fear.
I'm angry and disturbed that Mildew went as far as to try and kill our dragons with poison. But I'm scared that (y/d/n) is suffering right now and that (he/she) might...die.
I started to tremble
"W-what's the cure?" I asked weakly. There was no mention of a cure in the book.
"In the Book of Dragons, it says there is a dragon who eats Blue Oleanders."
I remembered this in the Book of Dragons
"The Scauldron," I said breathed out
Fishlegs nodded and continued
"If it eats the flowers you can use the venom as an antidote," Fishlegs said as he grabbed the book out of my hands.
"B-but the Scauldron doesn't produce any venom! Does it?" I said in a slight worry. I don't remember this in the book.
Tuffnut spoke up "Gobber said it did."
Ruffnut added, "Hiccup, Stoick, Gobber, and Mildew left not too long ago to get it."
I started to feel doubt
"What if...Gobber's wrong? What if they come back empty-handed?" I said as I placed my hands up to my face.
'What if I lose (y/d/n)? What am I going to do' I thought
Astrid placed a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at her.
"We just have to trust them." She said softly.
I looked back at (y/d/n) as (he/she) was on the ground groaning.
"I hope Gobber's right. I hope they get the antidote," I said
Everyone left to take care of their dragons and I was alone again with my dragon.
I felt stressed and anxious. It made me feel hungry.
I reached into my satchel to pull out some bread that I got this afternoon.
Then I felt something rub against my fingertip.
I pulled it out and it was the lavender oil! I forgot I poured a little bit into a smaller wooden container earlier this morning.
I opened the container and my nose was hit with the flowery aroma.
Smelling it made me relieve some stress
I poured some on my fingers and rubbed a little bit on the snout of (y/d/n).
I noticed that (he/she) seemed to relax a bit. (His/her) body seems to loosen up.
Then, I thought back to this morning.
I needed to get the rest of that jar of lavender oil from the ditch.
"I'll be back (y/d/n)," I said in a soft-spoken voice.
As I walked into the village I ran into my friends who were outside. They seemed as equally stressed and anxious as I am.
They looked up at me. I reached into my satchel and pulled out the small wooden jar.
They all walked towards me looking at it.
"What is that?" Astrid said pointing at it.
"This is lavender oil. I got it from Trader Johann. Thought you guys might want to use it for your dragons." I handed it to Astrid
"It's not going to cure them but it will help them relieve some pain and make them relax a bit," I said thoughtfully
She looked at it and smiled at me "Thanks (y/n)."
She walked up to Stormfly: "So how do I use it?" She asked
"Just put a little bit on your fingers and rub it on her snout," I explained
Astrid did what I said and we noticed how relaxed Stormfly got.
"Hey! It worked." She said as she beamed at me.
"Oh! My turn!" Snotlout yelled he took the jar and did the same with Hookfang.
Then Fishlegs then the twins.
The twins handed me the jar back. It felt very light than before so I tipped it upside down and nothing but a tiny drop came out.
"Sorry (y/n)" Astrid said feeling bad
I chuckled "Don't worry I got more. I was actually was about to go find it in the ditch that we threw all our stuff in."
I turned around to leave but then Snotlout ran up to me "Let me come with you! I want to get my mirror back."
I did a half-hearted laugh "Alright, come on." I motioned towards the direction we were going to go.
We both headed towards the ditch.
I found my jar of lavender oil where I placed it.
However, finding Snotlout's mirror was going to be a challenge. He threw it in the pile without looking where he threw it.
It took us a while to find it...
Because it was under Gobber's silk skivvies.
Snotlout lifted up the purple silk and threw it to the side and grabbed his mirror.
"You got your mirror back now let's go," I said as I climbed out of the ditch.
Snotlout started to look around the stuff.
I fluttered my eyes in annoyance
"You're not going to steal anything...are you?" I asked as I crossed my arms.
"Me? Steal? I would never!" Snotlout said as he picks something up and examines it.
"Snotlout..." I said in a warning tone as I eye him.
He sighed and dropped it "Fiiine. Whatever you say." He then climbed up the ditch
When he was standing beside me I gave him a warm smile and slightly side bump him.
He then looked at me shocked for a split second but then smirked at me.
I wasn't expecting that type of reaction so I looked away and blushed
He then also slightly side bumped me and I let out a small giggle.
We didn't say much as we walked back to the village. I didn't mind though. Just being with someone, especially him, was enough for me.
When we got back Hiccup, Stoick, Gobber, and Mildew were back from the ocean.
Mildew didn't look too good. Gobber was holding him. He was moaning and groaning.
Whatever happened he deserves it. How dare he tried to kill my dragon, our dragons, with poisonous flowers.
I saw Astrid, Fishlegs, and the twins walk up to Hiccup. I also walked up to him followed by Snotlout behind me.
Astrid asked first "What happened?"
Hiccup chuckled "We got the antidote!"
We were all ecstatic.
I could have almost yelled so loud I would have wakened the whole village up!
"Well? Where is it!?" I asked excitedly
•●●●•
We were now all standing in front of Gobber's blacksmith shop.
Inside was Gobber, Stoick, and a pantless Mildew on top of a table.
A cloth was obstructing the window but the light from the inside showed shadows on the cloth.
I covered my mouth. Trying to contain all my emotions
"Can you believe we're all just standing around, waiting for something to come out of Mildew's butt?" Tuffnut said
We saw Gobber picking something off the wall
We heard Mildew begging "No-no-no! W-w-wait-wait-wait! Isn't there something a little smaller you could use?"
Gobber answered "Probably."
Then he stuck it in Mildew's butt. He screamed extremely loudly it was honestly music to my ears.
Astrid said out loud "That's the sound of our dragons getting better."
I chuckled "I hope Mildew learned his lesson." I said as I crossed my arms then
I smiled "Don't mess with our dragons or it's going to come back and bite you in the butt. Literally."
•●●●•
I stayed in the woods overnight with (y/d/n).
After Gobber finished screaming in the forest.
Poor Gobber, but he did a great thing. Extracting the venom from...Mildew's...yeah
•●●●•
Overnight the antidote worked and (y/d/n) was back to normal again!
I was woken up with snuggles from (y/d/n). I stood up and excitedly gave (y/d/n) a big hug.
Then I hopped onto (him/her) and flew into the village and I saw my friends flying on their dragons being so full of life.
I couldn't be anymore happier.
