Your POV

I was walking to Gothi's hut with Snotlout beside me, arms intertwined and holding each other's hand.

I told him that I wanted to work for Gothi again.

I didn't tell him why but I had a dream last night.

It was back at Dragon's Edge it felt like I was reliving all the adventures we had. We fought the Dragon Hunters, Ryker, Viggo, Krogan, and the worst bastard of them all...Johann.

Viggo is kind of an exception though, he did save Hiccup's life. But he was a jerk at the beginning.

Anyways, when I mean 'we fought' I mean my friends did most of the fighting. I never really did hand-to-hand combat, if at all. I couldn't really hold a simple sword right. I only fought during really critical times. However, I did end up finding a suitable weapon for me.

But mostly I was good at something else and it was medicine.

My adoptive mother taught me when I was young. Now, I wasn't an expert at that age but I was good for a 10 year old child.

She would help heal the people in our village when they got hurt or got the common sniffles, as we call them.

Well, it brought back memories four or five years ago before we even created Dragon's Edge.

-flash back-

When I arrived at Berk I had the amazing opportunity to join the Dragon Riders. Combat with dragons was part of the training later on. However, in the mean time Gobber taught hand-to-hand combat.

I was good with combat on my dragon but hand-to-hand combat was not my forte. I always got pushed down. A lot. Especially from Snotlout and Astrid. They're both very tough fighters.

It's been a few weeks now that I came to Berk. I had to stay with one of the Riders since there wasn't a home available for me and also because I was only fourteen years old. I got to stay with Astrid. Her parents seemed like tough people but kind people. Just like Astrid.

It was early morning and I got ready and headed towards Berk Dragon Academy, which I helped named!

Not too long ago I got my own dragon, (Y/d/n). (He/she) was a beautiful Sand Wraith and was my very first best friend. We bonded together very well. I was scared of (y/d/n) at first but I turned to trust.

Today we are going to do combat, obviously, but in the air, not only that but also some maneuvers to dodge attacks while in the air. I was nervous because this was the first time I was going to do that.

I arrived at the academy, which was just an arena that used to be used to fight dragons, not anymore now. Hiccup and Astrid were already there. Fishlegs was right behind me. And of course, Snotlout came a few minutes late and the twins shortly after.

So far everything was going very well. Until I was getting ready to do my maneuver. I wanted to really impress Snotlout and my friends.

But I guess my dragon could feel the tension in my body because in the middle of our maneuver I got tossed off my dragon and my side got slammed into the arena's hard wall and I landed face-first into the dirt.

I had trouble breathing for a few seconds. I was sure I was going to die.

Everyone ran up to me in a panic including my dragon who was behind them. They all asked if I was okay. My dragon did a low gurgle sound, as if to apologize for what had happened.

I was embarrassed and tears were forming in my eyes. I didn't dare to cry in front of everyone especially Snotlout. I don't want to be seen as weak.

Snotlout lifted me off the ground and I leaned against him "Are you alright (Y/N)?" I can hear the worry in his voice.

I gave him a painful smile. "Yeah, I think so." I let go of him but the pain shot through my body and I lost balance but got caught by Snotlout.

"You need to go see Gothi." Hiccup said worriedly

"Gothi? Who's that?" I haven't heard that name before.

Snotlout started to talk in his spooky voice. "Okay, so there's this creepy old lady named Gothi who never talks and always hits me with her stick. She throws these special stones called runes on the ground because she thinks they can tell her what'll happen in the future!"

Everyone just looked at him.

"What? It's true!" He said

Hiccup shook his head. "Snotlout, can you take (Y/N) to Gothi?"

He nodded and left the arena.

Apparently, she is the Village Elder. She does the important stuff, like crowning the new chief for the tribe, officiating marriages, oversee rituals, use runes to predict the weather, and does the healing.

When we arrived, I saw Gothi for the first time. I saw Gobber too.

Gothi is a very short old lady. Well, Snotlout was right with that one but she wasn't scary or creepy at all! I thought she looked like a sweet lady. I noticed she was carrying a stick that Snotlout mentioned.

I waved at her smiling to get her attention. She started to write on the ground. It was in a language I couldn't read.

Gobber started to translate. "What brother, you're her?" I looked at him confused. Even Gobber was confused with that sentence.

Suddenly, he got hit with Gothi's stick. I covered my mouth with my hand almost letting out a laugh. I take it back maybe she's not all that sweet.

"Ow! What brought you here! Sorry." Gobber said as he rubbed his head.

"Oh. I just got in a little bit of an accident. I got some scratches on my arm. It's not a big deal." I said, I tried to be strong and tough.

Snotlout rolled his eyes.

I showed her the many small deep cuts on my arm. She hits me with her stick. "Ouch! Okay...maybe it is a big deal." As I rubbed my head.

Snotlout snickered and I blushed with embarrassment.

She went to work and grabbed some dried leaves and flowers that looked really familiar, hot water, and a small wooden mortar and pestle. She then crushed the leaves and flowers with the pestle while adding the water into the mortar and then slowly made a paste. She walked towards me and started to apply to my wounds.

I slightly wince but I started to ignore it as I smelled the aroma from the paste, it smelled spicy in an odd way. It reminded me of... Then something hit me.

"Mmh! Are you using Yarrow? I love that stuff! It's one of the best ways to stop bleedings, it's also used to reduce fevers and clear sinuses too. This stuff is like magic and its so common!"

Gothi looked up at me and at Snotlout. He just shrugged. She then put down her mortar and pestle and started to write on the ground again.

Gobber started to translate "Where did you learn to know this?"

I looked at Gothi and smiled

"Ah...back at my island my...mother. She was, I guess, a healer. Just like you. She taught me a lot about remedies and herbs."

She looked at me and then continued writing on the dirt.

"Would you like to return bore and help me?" Gobber translated.

Snotlout and I got confused again

Gothi hit Gobber's head for his bad translation.

"I meant to say 'learn more and help me!'...old Bat" Gobber said and also made sure to mumble the last part but Gothi heard him and she was about to wack him for the third time until I cleared my throat and raised my arm then I gave Gothi a nice smile, giving her the hint that I still needed to get patched up.

She glares at Gobber, placed down her stick, picked up her mortar, and continued applying the paste. She then wrapped my arm in a cloth and gave me what seemed to be like rosemary and water to help ease my aching side.

As I finished drinking the rosemary water I answered her question.

"Thank you, anyways, I would love to work with you Gothi! There's always so much to learn about medicine..." I thought for a second. "But how can we communicate? I can't read the words that you write."

She started to scribble something in the dirt.

"She says that I... can help you teach the language..." Gobber said as he looked at me.

I smiled widely "Would you teach me? Please?!" I begged.

I wanted to be a useful team member during combat. Not just a weak little girl with no upper body strength and be completely useless on the ground.

"Well...I mean..." he trailed off. It sounded like he didn't want to do it. So I gave him my best puppy face.

"I really want to learn Gobber. This would help my friends tremendously. Please! You gotta understand!" I begged harder. I might have showed a little weakness but I wanted to be useful.

Snotlout was shocked when he heard this. But I ignored it.

Gobber looked at Gothi and she gave him a you-better-say-yes look. And then he sighed and looked at me "Fine, I will teach you..."

"Yay!" I hugged him with excitement but flinched in pain when my arm touched him. I took a few steps back and held my arm.

"But what about dragon training, (Y/N)?" Snotlout asked with slight worry.

I looked over at Snotlout and frowned "Oh, yeah."

Gothi wrote something on the dirt. "She said you will start tomorrow after dragon training," Gobber said

I jumped with happiness and excitement. I looked at Snotlout "I'm still going to go to training!"

I then looked towards Gothi "I will be here right after training! Or whenever you need me." I said with a shrug.

Gothi nodded at me and it seemed like I was good to go.

•●●●•

When we left Gothi's platform area I looked at Snotlout "Can we go back to the Academy? I know I'm not in good condition to train but I want to watch you guys train at least."

He looked at me with some concern "Are you sure?" He asked with a raised eyebrow

I nodded, eagerly wanting to watch the gang especially Snotlout.

He shrugged "That's fine with me."

"By the way, Snotlout" he looked at me curiously "please don't tell anyone what I said back there." I said giving him an awkward chuckle.

He put up a finger by his chin "Hmm...I don't know..."

I scoffed "Snotlout!" I whined.

He gave out a laugh as he nodded and smiled "I promise I won't tell."

I smiled radiantly at him "Thanks"

And with that, we headed to the Academy and I finally was able to work on something that I was useful at and more passionate about.

And that's helping others through medicine.
