Chapter 20: How To Start A Lightning Storm
It was a nice evening in Berk. I was getting some fresh air and just wanted to spend time with my friends. Lately, I've been wanting to spend time with Snotlout a lot more but I just didn't know how! Or where to start.
I could ask but there's just something holding me back.
As I was walking I saw a giant Monstrous Nightmare. It looked similar to Hookfang but was a light shade of green and had more friendlier looking eyes. Hookfang always looked so angry in a weird likable way.
It landed on top of a house beside a violet colored Gronkle. I smiled at them because they were just so cute!
As I was walking past the house, that the Monstrous Nightmare was standing on, it started to creek. I stopped and looked towards the sound. I noticed that the house was about it give in. Before, I could even blink the house got toppeled down. I stumbled backwards to avoid the debris. There were some Vikings who yelled in shock.
Then the house with the violet Gronkle started to tumble down as well and there was even more shouting.
This was the fifth time this week!
•●●●•
Hiccup gathered all of us in the arena
"The dragons have been destroying the village by landing on top of the houses. We need to figure out what we need to do to prevent them from destroying more houses."
Everyone tried to think of a plan.
"Wait, we want to prevent the dragons from destroying things?!" Tuffnut exclaimed
"No Tuffnut. We want to help the dragons destroy thing." I remarked sarcastically.
"Ooh, cool!" Tuffnut said nodding
"Oh, yeah!" Ruffnut exclaimed hi-fiving Tuffnut
I rolled my eyes as I continued on thinking of a plan. I saw (y/d/n) being playful with Toothless and was playing around an old rusted opened gate door.
(Y/d/n) perched on top of the gate door and looked down at Toothless. Waving it's tail slighty from side to side and then pounced on top of Toothless.
I giggled at their silliness and then the thought hit me.
"Perch..." I mumbled to myself.
Hiccup looked at me "What was that, (y/n)?"
Everyone looked at me curiously.
I blushed from getting called out "Oh! I was just thinking maybe we can build something where they can land and rest on."
"Like a bird on a tree branch?" Astrid asked
"Yes!" I said as I nodded
I looked around me and found some white chunky chalk. I picked it up and drew on the arena walls.
It was two parallel lines and a horizontal line connecting the two and a rough drawing of (y/d/n) perching on top of it. I took a step back admiring the art work.
"Something like this. Of course, it doesn't have to look exactly like this but--"
"That...that might actually work!" Hiccup exclaimed
•●●●•
The next day Hiccup got the whole plan fleshed out. He decided that metal would be a good option since there are plenty and are sturdy enough to hold the dragon's weight, hopefully.
It took everyone in the village to heist up the huge metal poles and make the metal pieces. The gang used their dragons to lift and place the horizontal piece in its respective place.
After the final piece was placed Astrid volunteered to test it out to make sure it will be able to handle the dragon's weight.
Stormfly hovers over the metal perch and hesitates "It's okay, girl. Just take it easy." Astrid reassured
Stormfly slowly landed on the metal perch and it supported her weight!
Everyone started to cheer
Hiccup, Gobber, and Snotlout all cheered out at once
"Yes! It works!"
"Way to go!"
"Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!"
I clapped happily that it worked! "It didn't break!"
"Wait, so we built these things so stuff wouldn't break? (Y/n), you said we were helping them!" Tuffnut exclaimed in confusion
I gave him a sideways shrug
"I don't understand you people." Ruffnut said
Both of them look upset.
"And they tricked us into helping them build them. I feel so used... and sweaty." Tuffnut stated and then tossed his stone hammer on the ground followed by Ruffnut.
Hiccup, Fishlegs, Snotlout, and I just stared at them as they both walked away.
•●●●•
Astrid and I were in our rooms and we were sitting on our beds across from each other. We shared a room together and the only thing between our beds is the night stand.
"That perch idea you had the other day was such a good idea! I don't think I've seen a single house get destroyed today!" She exclaimed
I giggled at the compliment "Thanks! Although, the perch above the well needs to get moved." I chuckled.
Astrid nodded in agreement "Yeah, can't believe we almost drank dragon pee!"
Suddenly, we both heard multiple loud cracks outside then we heard screaming outside and someone yelling fire. We both looked at each other and went outside as I grabbed my satchel by the door.
Once we went outside many houses around us were on fire and lighting everywhere.
Luckily, Stormfly and (y/d/n) were right beside the house and we rode on them and flew above the village.
Down below I saw a small green Terrible Terror surrounded by burning houses and it screeched.
There were too much fire and (y/n/d) wouldn't be able to handle the heat if (he/she) gets too close. I pointed down and got Astrid's attention
"Astrid! That Terrible Terror needs help!"
She looked down and flew in and Stormyfly grabbed it and placed it down in a safe place.
As we were flying around I saw Vikings creating a bucket brigade trying to distinguish the fires and some Vikings riding dragons who were caring large water troughs.
On the ground we saw the gang in front of the Great Hall all gathered up and Hiccup looked distraught.
Astrid and I landed in front of Hiccup.
Hiccup looked at Astrid "I-I need your help. I need to find Toothless!"
"I just saw him by the Great Hall." Astrid said as she gestured her head towards the Great Hall.
Hiccup walked towards Astrid and reached out his hand and she quickly grabbed him, helping him get on Stormfly and flew off.
The gang watched as they flew off towards the Great Hall.
Suddenly, lighting stuck close by and I flinched in fear as my dragon jumped to the side almost making me fall off.
I pressed against my satchel and it felt off. It felt flatter than usual. I opened it and noticed my diary, the most important thing I own, is not in my satchel. I pressed against my chest and noticed my locket is gone as well.
I gasped and it brought attention to myself.
"I'm an idiot!" I said in a panic "Come on (y/d/n)! Let's go!" We quickly flew off towards my house
•●●●•
I landed and got off of (y/d/n) and the house was on fire. It looked like it just caught on fire as the wood is barely burned outside.
(Y/d/n) crawled slowly backwards in fear. I stood there and shook in fear as well. It started to give me bad memories.
The twins, Fishlegs, and Snotlout landed beside me.
"(Y/n)! What are you doing?" Fishlegs said in a slight panic voice.
I looked behind me at them. They all looked confused and concerned. I looked forward. I need to make a decision now. My heart was racing and my mind was being all jumbled up.
I took a deep breath, preparing myself, and ran towards the house.
"(Y/n)!" Fishlegs yelled.
I grabbed the handle to pull the door open but it was too hot and slightly burned my hand.
Meanwhile, Fishlegs and Snotlout is shouting at me to come back while Tuffnut and Ruffnut is saying I lost my mind and wondered if I want a death wish and my dragon roaring at me.
I ignored them and took several steps back and slammed myself against the door with all my might. Forcing the door to open the other way before anyone got close to me.
I almost tripped on myself but manage to catch myself. Inside was hot and there was so much smoke. It was loud and it was very frightening. The fire was crackling while lighting was striking outside.
I coughed as the burning smoke got into my lungs.
I covered my face with my elbow and went towards our room.
I can hear Snotlout shouting out to me "(y/n)! Are you insane? Get out of there!"
I can't though. I need to get it, the diary and my locket. If I lose them I feel like I would lose my memories of them.
I squinted as the smoke burned my eyes I finally made it to the steps to our upstairs room I ran upstairs quickly. I looked to my right and looked on the top of my desk across the room. I quickly ran over to the desk.
The book was laying closed on the desk and the cover was covered with dusty ashes. I picked it up and brushed it off. I opened the book and my locket was nicely snuggled between the pages as it hangs down.
I quickly shut the book and shoved it in my satchel. I turned around, before I took a step, I heard a loud creek and started to run out of the house full of fear. A beam, that supported the roof, fell to the floor with a huge thud to the left of me and I tripped over my own legs as I tried to avoid it.
I pushed myself up with my hands and ran towards the door and made it out before part of the roof fell in front of the door. I fell to the ground on my stomach, completely exhausted. I turned on my back with my arms out and started to breath heavily.
Snotlout, Fishlegs, the twins, and my dragon ran towards me and looked down at me with concern.
Snotlout bent down and lifted me up, helping me sit up.
"Are you crazy? You could have died!" Snotlout cried out at me.
"But I didn't!" I gave him a laugh
He looked at me unamused and my laugh started to die down and turned into a sorry smile as I blushed.
"Sorry." I apologized. I stared at Snotlout and saw how distraught he looked I slightly frowned in shame and averted my eyes away.
"Why did you run inside a burning house?!" Fishlegs exclaimed
I looked up at Fishlegs "I had to grab something important." I said to him as I furrowed my eyebrows
"Was it important enough to risk your life?!" He was still shouting, probably still panicking.
"Yes! Yes, it was important enough to risk my life. To me at least..." I said as I trailed off looking down.
"What did you have to grab anyways?" Tuffnut asked
I didn't answer right away. I wasn't so sure if I should share it with my friends just yet.
"I don't want to talk about it." I mumbled.
(Y/d/n) walked over to me and softly licked my face. I smiled at (him/her) and petted (his/her) head lovingly.
I noticed some Vikings coming towards the house including Astrid's parents and some Vikings flying on dragons and distinguished the fire.
I looked up at the house and sighed, at least the house didn't completely come down. Just a couple of fixes here and there and it will only take a couple of hours.
As the fire got distinguished Astrid and Hiccup came flying over.
I turned around and stood up.
"Hey, looks like you found Toothless." I said casually
Astrid gasped "The house!"
I looked at the house. It's not on fire anymore but it is burnt a bit. I saw Astrid's father moving part of the roof out of the door way and going inside right behind was Astrid's mother.
I sighed "Yeah, but it--"
"(Y/n), ran inside when it was on fire!" Fishlegs blurted out, interrupting me.
I facepalmed and did a heavy sigh.
"She said she had to get something important" Tuffnut added
"Yeah! But she won't tell us why." Ruffnut said
Everyone just looked at me wanting answers.
I looked at them and felt my face getting heated up "Well, I...I di...do...I--"
Snotlout stepped in "Come on guys! She said she doesn't want to talk...about...it..." he said as he trailed off.
Everyone now had eyes on Snotlout. Kind of surprised that he actually was standing up for someone.
We all just stood there for a second in awkward silence before Hiccup cleared his throat.
"Anyways, Mildew wants to banish Toothless because he thinks Thor is angry at him and the people are agreeing with him!"
I looked at Hiccup, confused "Why? Didn't you say Toothless always helped the village out?"
Hiccup nodded "That's what I'm saying!" He looks down at Toothless "but I guess it's not enough to convince Mildew and the others." He said sadly patting Toothless.
He then looked up at all of us. "Let's meet at the store house tomorrow afternoon and figure out what Thor is angry about."
We all nodded in agreement and everyone split off not before I grabbed Snotlout.
"Thank you." I whispered at him.
He slightly blushed and gave me a grin "No problem! You're my best friend after all." And then gave me a wink and flew away on Hookfang.
I smiled and then frowned. The word best friend sounds so nice but I don't like it for some reason. It doesn't sit well with me.
Suddenly, Astrid called me over. "Come on, (y/n)!"
I saw her waving at me. I smiled and nodded and ran over to the house and went inside.
•●●●•
Astrid's parents, Astrid, and I got to work early in the morning. Inside, the damage wasn't too bad there was some debris from the roof here and there. In Astrid's and my room it had a lot of ashes and burnt pieces of wooden beams on the ground and a very big one was on top of my desk.
I looked at the beam.
'Glad I grabbed the diary.'
It didn't take too long to get it all built up again.
We then headed towards the store house were Hiccup wanted us to gather at.
•●●●•
As we were flying I noticed the sky started to grey. We landed and hopped off our dragons.
Suddenly, lighting started to strike again.
"Another storm is coming." Hiccup said as he pets Toothless who growled softly
Tuffnut, who was sitting on the stone steps behind us, started to talk "Thor tore a hole in the Great Hall. Maybe he's hungry? I know I am." He said as he looked at his sister.
"We need to make Thor happy. But what do you get the god of Thunder and Lightning?" Hiccup asked out loud while walking towards Fishlegs.
"In the past, I know Thor's enjoyed a sacrifice or two." Fishlegs said casually
"Like, human sacrifices?!" I exclaimed with raised eyebrows.
"Let's sacrifice Tuffnut!" Ruffnut suggested as she pointed her thumb at Tuffnut
"Okay, what time should I be there? There better be fire involved." Tuffnut said as if it was totally okay.
"Nobody's gonna be sacrificed!" Hiccup said emphasizing with his hands
"Not yet, anyway." Added Snotlout while he had his hands on his hips.
Astrid spoke up next "I had an aunt who was cursed by Odin once. She had to pay tribute to him by sailing to the end of the Earth." She said as she talked with her hands.
"Did it work?" Fishlegs asked with wide open eyes.
Astrid shrugged "I don't know. I guess she couldn't find it, because she kept showing up from the opposite direction."
"The gods have never been mad at anyone from our family." Fishleg said then let out a gasp. He took a couple of steps back behind him "Knock on wood" he said as he knocked on the wooden steps, leading to the store house. "Hop on one foot" He then started to hop on one foot towards Snotlout. "Slap a Jorgenson" And got his open palm up. Snotlout raised his chin up as if to dare Fishlegs to slap him. However, Fishlegs ended up just poking him.
Snotlout looked down at where he got poked at and Fishlegs let out a nervous giggle. Then Snotlout pushed him and Fishlegs let out a yelp as he tumbled backwards.
"If I were Thor, I would want a giant statue." He said as he walked towards Hookfang and stood on his long snout and then lifted him up.
'That's not a bad idea!' I thought
Snotlout continued "Of myself, Snotlout, as Thor!" He said as he flexed his arms.
'Nevermind...'
"You do know we're trying to make him happy?" Astrid said. She was not amused.
"Exactly!" Snotlout said as he started to kiss his biceps.
Astrid gaged while covering her mouth "I think I just threw up in my mouth."
I looked at Astrid with concerned and back at Snotlout, he was still kissing his biceps!
"Actually, that's not a bad idea." Hiccup said looking at Astrid
Astrid correct Hiccup "It's not an idea, it's a reflex."
Hiccup furrowed his eyebrows "What? No! I-I mean the statue."
"You want to make a statue of Snotlout?" I said with a raised eyebrow as I pointed at Snotlout who still was kissing his biceps.
Astrid gagged, covering her mouth "There I go again."
Hiccup looked between Astrid and I in confusion "No! Not Snotlout!"
Snotlout finally stopped kissing his biceps and furrowed his eyebrows towards Hiccup
"Thor!" Hiccup finished
"Oh! That makes so much
more sense." I said nodding
Fishlegs walked up beside Hiccup with a finger on his chin "Hmm, Berk has never given Thor a statue."
"Well, then it's high time we did!" Hiccup said smiling
•●●●•
Everyone started to work on different parts of Thor.
Snotlout already worked on the hammer part and got that done.
The twins were working on some sort of part of the body. The metal pieces were around Barf and Belch. They were hammering them down to get it nice and smooth until Ruffnut started hammering on Tuffnut's helmet
"Yowch!" He exclaimed and glared at her and started to hammer Ruffnut back
"Ouch!" Ruffnut yelled
They both started to hammer each other on the head. Back and forth. I shook my head as I chuckled.
Hiccup walked up to me as I was working on Thor's helmet
"Wow! This looks amazing, (y/n). But um..." he said as he pointed at his head
I looked at him, confused, and walked beside him. I noticed I somehow accidentally placed one of the "horns" upside down!
I laughed "That does look a bit silly."
Suddenly there was rumbling of loud thunder and I jumped
"Hehehe, I don't think Thor likes that. I'll fix it right away."
I hurried over and started to pull the "horn" off
Next, Hiccup went over to Snotlout who was in the blacksmith "Great job. Uh, one issue." I peeked in to see what Snotlout was doing. "Thor's knee bends the other way. You know, like a knee... on a person?"
Snotlout lifted up one of his legs and bent it as Hiccup was walking away.
I walked in and leaned against the stone forge and crossed my arms. "Yeah, Snotlout like a knee on a person." I teased.
He furrowed his eyebrows at me and rolled his eyes. "I know what I'm doing!"
I just chuckled "Okay okay" I then went back to working on Thor's helmet.
•●●●•
I finally got finished with all the parts I needed to get done. Which include the hands as well. Luckily, I didn't make any mistakes this time.
"Okay, guys, we better start welding these pieces together." Hiccup said as more lighting started to come our way.
Hiccup looked at all of us. "Yeah. I think Thor's gonna like this."
•●●●•
Snotlout finally fixed Thor's leg piece and he did the other leg correctly!
Snotlout bumps slightly into my side to get my attention "See? I told you I knew what I was doing!" He said to me with a smirk
"I know I know." I said as I rolled my eyes and smiled with a blush.
We put all the pieces together and Hookfang and Stormyfly welded the metal pieces nicely.
Then with Barf and Belch, Hookfang, (y/d/n), and Toothless we all lifted up the statue and flew it towards the Great Hall.
•●●●•
We gathered everyone in front of the statue that was hidden under a giant cloth. There was some chatter withing the crowd.
Hiccup walks in from of the statue "Attention! Attention everyone!"
Everyone looked at Hiccup and quiets down
"Okay, so, I know we're not exactly Thor's favorite people right now, but I am confident that this beautiful statue will go a long way toward getting us back in his good graces! So, without further ado..."
Hiccup and Toothless grabbed the cloth and revealed the statue.
People were in awe. There were whoas and wows.
The gang looked at the statue and smiled. "Whoa" Fishlegs and Ruffnut said in unison.
"Well done! Thor will appreciate this tribute, and will smile upon us once again!" Stoick said to the crowd after looking at the statue.
We all cheered and clapped in happiness, hoping that we finally pleased Thor.
However, Mildew wasn't pleased. He walked towards the statue "You really think this is enough to appease the mighty Thor, while you allow a Night Fury in your midst?!" He turned around and yelled at the cheering crowd "You're fools! All of ya!" And to add dramatic affect there was lighting that lit up the grey sky.
I started to feel doubt. "Are we really fools? Do you think this would work?" I asked out loud
Snotlout looked over at me and placed his arm around my shoulder. I stiffen and blushed from the sudden contact but Snotlout doesn't seem to notice "Don't worry! I mean look at that hammer and those legs! I think Thor is going to love it!" He said smiling proudly.
I gave him an awkward smile "Haha, yeah." I said shyly.
I mentally hit myself 'Why am I so awkward!'
•●●●•
Later that night I tried to get closer to Snotlout. I just wanted to talk to him and get to know him more but something keeps holding me back!
I seemed a little creepy because I kept following him. Jumping behind barrels, stalls, and houses. Trying to avoid getting detected.
As I was following I accidentally kicked a tiny pebble. It made a noise and I dived behind a house as Snotlout and Hookfang looked behind them.
I didn't want to be seen as a huge creeper but it was so hard to talk to him without feeling like throwing up.
Not like Astrid throwing up when Snotlout was kissing his biceps.
No, it was more like...nervousness?
I quietly growled at myself 'He's my best friend! Right?! Yes! Yes...We already established this...'
As I was about to gather up all my courage to talk to him lighting started to strike, in fact, it was even worse than yesterday.
I peeked out beside the house I was hiding.
Snotlout and Hookfang went off some where else.
I sighed in defeat. I saw (y/d/n) running towards me, frighten from the sudden and many lightings coming down.
Again, like yesterday, it started to strike everywhere.
I got on (y/d/n) and flew up into the sky. I saw an angry crowd that was following Mildew leaving Hiccup's hut.
'They must be looking for them.'
•●●●•
I couldn't find them in the air so I landed. It didn't take long until Mildew came up to me and ask where they have gone.
I didn't say much all I did was shook my head and gave him a shrug. It wasn't a lie since I didn't see him either.
There was still lighting hitting the ground and all around us so Mildew was still convinced that Toothless is still on the island
He gave me a growl "He must of gone into the forest if he's not here!"
He then lead the group into the dark and dense forest.
Soon after Astrid landed beside me. I ran up to her "Where is Toothless and Hiccup?" I asked. She shook her head sadly "They flew off the island. Hiccup won't be coming back until they realize it's not Toothless' fault."
I nodded sadly she then took off and went towards the Great Hall.
I got back on (y/d/n) and flew up. I did an aerial view for a couple of mintues carefully trying not to get struck by lighting. I wanted to see where Mildew and the Vikings have gone.
As I was flying up high I saw Vikings pushing something quickly what seemed to look like a cart. As I looked closer it was Toothless strapped and chained down and Hiccup wasn't with them!
I thought the worst. They captured Toothless without Hiccup knowing!
The storm started to get worse so I landed.
I started to run around the village and I couldn't find the gang. I looked at one place that I missed.
The Great Hall.
I ran over there and they weren't sitting by the steps. So I ran up the many stairs.
I slammed the door open. Inside was just the gang talking to each other. There seems to be no one else.
They all ran over towards me as I was trying to catch my breath.
"(Y/n)! What happened? What's wrong?" Fishlegs asked
He must have seen the worry in my face.
"I-it's Toothless. They caught him..." I said as I was catching my breath. I continued "...and they're going to send him off into the sea."
"Where's Hiccup?" Astrid ask hastily
I shook my head as I furrowed my eyebrows. "He wasn't there with him."
Astrid ran outside followed by everyone.
Astrid looked around haphazardly and then pointed towards the blacksmiths "There he is!"
We all ran towards the direction of where Hiccup was.
Luckily, it wasn't too far.
"Hiccup! They've got Toothless! They're about to float him off to sea." Astrid said worridly.
"I know. Why do you think I have this?" Hiccup said calmly as he looks at us
The thing he was holding looked like some sort of pointy weapon made of metal
"Oh, tough one. How many guesses do we get? Five?" Tuffnut said as he had his hand on his chin as well as his sister.
"Oookay... Astrid, fly me to the docks!" Hiccup said as he pulled Astrid.
We saw them running in the direction of Stormfly and got on then flew off.
"He sounded awfully calm. I hope he knows what he's doing." I said as they flew off to the docks.
I wanted to see what his plan was though and curiosity got the best of me.
I ran towards (y/d/n) who was behind me
"Where are you going?" Snotlout asked
I stopped and turned around "To see what he's going to do." I said casually and got on (y/d/n) and flew towards the direction of the docks.
•●●●•
I landed at the top of the cliff that leads down to the docks.
It looks like Astrid and Hiccup just got there just in time.
Hiccup jumped off of Stormfly and ran up to the Vikings
"Stop! You could get rid of Toothless, you could throw him off the edge of the world, but it's not going to stop this lighting from destroying Berk."
"What's he going on about?" Someone said beside me
I gasped and looked to my left of me.
"Snotlout? What are you doing here?" I asked. He was sitting on Hookfang looking down at the docks
"Can I not be here?" He asked sarcastically looking up at me unamused.
I rolled my eyes "No, Snotlout you cannot." I replied sarcastically back
He crossed his arms looked away and I playfully leaned over and softly punched his arm and giggled.
The twins and Fishlegs flew in beside us to watch what was going on.
I looked back at Hiccup and listen to what he has to say. He lifted up the metal weapon that he showed us back at the blacksmith. I couldn't hear what he said because of the lighting.
"What did he say?" I asked outloud
"Something about metal and lighting hitting it." Fishlegs said to me
Hiccup continued "We never had a lightning storm like this until we put up those perches, that statue, right? And they're all made of metal!"
"Oh, bah! You ever heard of anything so insane?!" Mildew said as he hit Hiccup's metal weapon out of the way with his staff as he walked in front of him.
Hiccup ran beside Toothless and lifted up his tail "Y-you see? This is where the lighting struck Toothless. On this connecting rod... this metal connecting rod!"
"What? You know. I don't like Mildew but this does sound insane." Snotlout stated
Lighting started to strike around us. I looked behind and saw lighting striking the metal perches and only the metal perches.
My eyes went wide "No, he's got a point, Snotlout." I said looking at him
"What?" He said confused. I pointed behind us at the metal perches.
"Look, the lighting only hits the metal perches!"
As if on cue multiple lighting bolts hit many of the metal perches but nothing else.
Snotlout looks back at me surprised.
I looked back down at the docks. It seems like the Vikings are not believing him though.
"Look, if you don't believe me, I can prove it!" Hiccup ran up to Astrid and she lifted him up on Stormfly.
Then they flew up and then Hiccup hops off Stormfly and climbs onto the mast.
It looked like Hiccup told Astrid to go.
As she was flying away from Hiccup. Astrid then saw us and landed by us. Meanwhile, Hiccup raised the weapon.
"You'll all see for yourselves!" He yelled out
"I can't watch!" Fishlegs said covering his eyes
Hiccup raised the weapon high "When I attach this metal rod to the top of this mast, the lighting will be drawn to-"
Suddenly, he got struck by lighting.
"Hiccup!" Stoick and Astrid yelled in unison. I gasped in shock.
Hiccup was swaying and then fell into the water. Astrid flew down to the docks and pushed herself through the crowd.
Toothless manages to break out of his chains and swims after Hiccup. Luckily, not before long, Toothless pulls out Hiccup from the water.
I flew down to the docks quickly and got off of (y/d/n). I had to make sure Hiccup was okay.
I pushed myself between the large Viking crowd and saw Stoick holding Hiccup, Gobber was there too. I looked to my right and saw Astrid was standing in front of the crowd shocked.
I walked towards Stoick. He looked at me with worried eyes and I gave him a tiny smile.
"May I?" I asked politely
He knew what I was going to do. He stood up and took a step back
I kneeled down and placed my ear against Hiccup's wet chest. Hiccup's heart rate was a bit slow but nothing abnormal.
I looked up at Stoick with relief and smiled "He should be fine. He was just knocked out from the lightning. He is lucky though. Getting hit directly like that would have fried him and killed him. As of now, he just needs rest to recover."
Stoick nodded at me "Thank you." And lifted his son up and took him home.
•●●●•
The next day, after the storm passed by, everyone in the village started to take down the perches. I was standing outside Hiccup's hut with Tuffnut and Snotlout. I wanted to make sure he was really okay. I made sure I brought some stuff from Gothi.
Tuffnut and Snotlout wanted to ask the chief something. Not sure what.
Stoick, Gobber, and Hiccup walks out of the hut. He looks sadly at the statue that was coming down.
"Oh, we worked so hard on that statue. Kind of a shame we have to just scrap it for parts."
Stoick placed a hand on Hiccup and looked at him "Well, maybe we don't have to. Why don't you take it to one of the high points on the island and leave it there?"
"Good idea, Chief! I would've thought of it myself, but I'm not the Chief." Tuffnut said as he turned around and walked away.
Snotlout smiled and gave a thumbs up towards Stoick and Hiccup and started to walk away with Tuffnut "Oh, we'll handle that for you."
I looked at the chief and Hiccup. I hand Hiccup some medicine that Gothi gave me. "Here Hiccup. Take this. In case you start to feel sore just take a drink of this and you should be fine within mintues." I gave him a smile and he smiled back and I turned around and followed the two boys.
After I caught up with them I asked "Are you two thinking what I'm thinking?" I said deviously
We all grinned at each other
"Mildew." We all said together.
We got all our dragons and Hiccup came over to help us as well.
•●●●•
We carried the statue and placed it down in front of Mildew's home. Just for safe measures I jumped down from (y/d/n) and obnoxiously knocked on his door, while holding in a laugh, and ran back to (y/d/n) and then flew up.
Mildew came outside and stared at the statue and then Hookfang dropped the rope on top of Mildew's head.
Mildew stared at the rope confusingly and then looked up. That was our cue to fly away. As we were flying I heard Mildew yell "You'll pay for this!"
I couldn't help but burst out laughing
"I'm not sure that's what my dad had in mind, guys." Hiccup said anxiously as he watched Mildew.
"Oh, I'm sure he'll be fine." I said waving at Hiccup
