( Back on the Edge )
Battlestrike and Tesla were at their nest on the ship with Indigo and Little Tooth snuggled up around the three hybrid eggs, Tesla walked out from below the deck, the pack of scarred dragons and the older baby furies quickly noticed that the flightmare was looking at the nursery with a worried and somewhat conflicting look in her eyes, as she was worried about the fury eggs getting cold without her being there, but she knew that her and Battlestrike's eggs also needed her.
Scardian looked at the flightmare in understanding, before a glint appeared in his yellow eyes that read that he had an idea. He then turned to his pack and squawked at them, telling them something that you couldn't understand, but what the scarred nadder said caused Tesla's eyes to widen slightly in surprise as the other scarred dragons made sounds in agreement before taking off.
( Meanwhile, back with the dragon riders )
The gang, their dragons, Stoick, Gobber, and Gothi had followed the map to the entrance of the hidden cave where the Scauldron's heart was located, with Gobber carrying a satchel with Gothi's healing supplies. Both Hiccup and Astrid let out sighs of relief when they saw Saga waiting for the group at the entrance, but the couple soon shared a worried look when they saw the panic in the alchemist's eyes.
Saga: Thank the gods, you made-
The twins suddenly pulled the alchemist into a group hug.
Ruffnut: Thank Thor, you're okay! We were worried sick.
The twins then released the alchemist from their embrace, and Tuffnut had both his hands on Saga's shoulders.
Tuffnut: And don't worry, we're going to throw Snotlout off a cliff once he's asleep.
Snotlout: Hey!-
Saga: Now's not the time! ( To Gothi: ) Hello, I'm really happy to see you again after so long, but the stormcutter, Serenity really needs you.
Fishlegs: Serenity?
Gothi gave Saga a firm nod in response.
The group then followed the alchemist inside, and when they got to the underground pond, the wounded stormcutter was laying on its side and was letting out weak whines of pain from the wound across its chest. Saga watched in worry as Gothi and Gobber went to the wounded dragon, but then Stoick gave the alchemist a reassuring look.
Stoick: Don't worry lass, the dragon is in good hands.
Tuffnut and Ruffnut then stood beside Saga and both placed a hand on her shoulders, as they and the rest of the group watched Gothi treat the wound across the stormcutter's chest, while Fishlegs and the twins were also in awe at seeing the dragon's appearance.
The lighting the underground pond provided made the dragon's pearly white scales shimmer like freshly fallen snow in the night.
Saga: ( silently: ) Please Thor, let her be okay.... I can't go through with the feeling of losing someone again...
The stormcutter silently growled in pain as Gothi began cleaning the wound, and Gobber gave the dragon a gentle pet on the head to comfort the large dragon.
Gobber: ( to the stormcutter: ) It's alright, she's just cleaning your wound.
Once Gothi finished cleaning and treating the dragon's wound, the stormcutter slowly turned her head to Saga and made a weak purr at the alchemist's direction.
Gothi and Gobber then walked to the group, and Gothi wrote something in the ground.
Gobber: She says " The dragon should have enough strength to make the journey to your outpost in the morning, once the wound has settled. "
Gothi then once again wrote something in the ground while looking at Saga with a stern expression.
Gobber: She also says " And this time, Saga, don't leave without a proper goodbye. "
Saga: ( chuckles nervously ) Don't worry, Gothi, I won't. ( To the gang and Stoick: ) I'm going to stay the night here with Serenity to keep her company. Alright?
Saga then walked away from the group before anyone could answer and she went to the stormcutter, who purred as the alchemist started giving her gentle pets.
( Slight time skip, at night )
Saga was still at the underground pond with the stormcutter now named " Serenity ". Saga was laying a pillow and blanket on the ground beside Serenity when the alchemist spots her friends and their dragons coming into the underground pond with their own pillows and blankets.
Saga: ( tilts her head to the side at the gang ) What are you guys doing here?
Astrid: ( with a smile: ) What's it look like? We're staying the night here to keep Serenity company.
Tuffnut: If the newest member of the alchemist Thorston dragon family and the alchemist Thorston sister by heart are going to sleep in a cave....
Ruffnut: So are we.
Saga looked at the group in shock before giving them a grateful smile.
Saga: Thanks, you have no idea how much this means to me.
Serenity watched curiously as the riders spread out and began laying down their pillows and blankets on the ground. She then looked at Saga with a purr as the alchemist sat down on the ground and put her blanket over herself.
The large dragon then slowly curled her tail around the alchemist, to much of the other riders' surprise as to how quickly the dragon had bonded with Saga.
Snotlout: So, Saga. What made you come up with " Serenity " as a name for her?
Saga: Well... The name " Serenity " derives from the Latin serenus meaning " clear, bright ", so I thought the name suits her.
Serenity purrs in response before she slowly lays her head down to go to sleep, and, as if on cue, Saga let out a tired yawn.
Saga: Night, guys.
Saga heard the series of nights and goodnights from the group as she laid her head down to sleep. After a few minutes of silence and once Saga had fallen asleep, Fishlegs, the twins, and Snotlout turned to Hiccup and Astrid.
Tuffnut: Okay, all four of us has come to agreement that you both have till we get back to the Edge to tell Saga or we are locking all three of you in a room.
Astrid: What are you talking about?
Hiccup: T-Tell Saga what?
Ruffnut: Oh, you both know what we're talking about. And you both better treat her right, or you'll be facing the wrath of the Thorstons...and Battlestrike and Tesla, because let's be honest, those two would, and probably have when we aren't looking, kill for me and Tuff's new little sister.
Tuffnut: Mostly Battlestrike, he's scary with those death slicers for claws.
Snotlout: Anyway! ( To Hiccup and Astrid: ) Tell Saga about your feelings for her before you three drive us all as crazy as Dagur.
Hiccup and Astrid's faces reddened in response as Toothless gave them a knowing look with a raised brow.
