10. I need help
When I woke up, the world was spinning with me, but when I pieced together the black scaled something next to me is Toothless I immediately crawled closer and checked his pulse. Good. Slow and steady. We were on something wooden... it was a ship. An old Berk ship. Piece. It's safe. For now.
We've broken a few of the rock pillars, ended up in a boat, which was probably broken further by us. I got my knife out of my pocket, I cut myself by the progress, but I wanted to hurry, I don't want to risk to wait HERE, so close to that monster. There were a crack on the wood, I just "stabbed" it making it bigger, I didn't care I broke my finest knife three times, when it was just a handle, the wooden plank gave up under us. We fell on the water, we luckily didn't flipped the raft, we didn't fall into... thou the flag fell on us. Thank Thor just the flag.
I felt better and better so I tried to climb up, to get a scull, than I jumped down, checked on Toothless: still unconscious but no more, his wings are fine, looks like no broken bones anywhere, I hope he will be alright.
I started to row, I was scared so so so terrified! It was. Deadly. Calm. Everywhere. I became so jumpy, I got scared by the sounds that I made! Ohhhh my goooshhh... just let me get out of here in one piece! I couldn't see anything because of the fog, I assumed from the destroyed rocks where is the nest located, so I rowed exactly to the opposite direction, otherwise I relied on my instincts. I have to get us out.
I couldn't allow myself to being tried but I couldn't deny I was exhausted, my muscles going to hurt tomorrow I know for sure...
I worked hard and harder and harder, I couldn't even tell how much time passed since we arrived to this god forsaken place. It was my fault. I was naive to believing everyone is reasonable. Because of me a children is dead! I'm awful. And I thought it's possible... agrhhh. I'm such an idiot. I hope Torch is fine. Somewhere.
More fog. More pillars. More fog. More pillars. Is there even an end?!
I felt like hours had past, but I lost my perception of time, so I can't tell. I had rechecked Toothless for few times, when I saw he has lots of scratches. Still this is the worse I found, but he wasn't waking up which worried me.
We did it! The fog was disappearing, there's less and less rocks. Thank god. We reached the never-ending sea, I wouldn't have though one day I would be so happy to see it!
- TORCH! WHERE ARE YOU??
I roared, hoping for the best, he wasn't that near to that beast he had chance to escape..
- WHEREWHEREWHEREWHEREWHERE...
- RIGHT HERE!
Soon the nightmare appeared from where we came from, panicked like I had never seen any dragon.
- WHAT HAPPENED?! WHAT HAPPENED?! I WAS SITTING FAR AS YOU TOLD SO, WAITING AND THINKING HOW BORING THIS IS WHEN I HEARD SO MANY ROARS I COULDN'T TELL WHO WAS IT AND WHERE I WAS SO CONFUSED...
- Calm down budy...
- ...THAN THERE WAS MORE SCREAMING DRAGONS STARTED TO RUN AWAY I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THAN...
- Okay-okay you can tell us later...
- ...A RAID CAME FROM BEHIND THEY SAW THE MOUNTAIN, TURNED BACK TO THE FOG WITH THE FOOD FEW OF THEM EVEN DROPPED IT ...
- But..
- ...THEY HEADED TOWARDS ME BEFORE I KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING I WAS INTHE MIDDLE I COULDN'T FLY OUT, THEY GOT ME HURT WHEN I WAS IN THE WAY SO I JOINED THEM...
Omg. He won't stop, will he? I looked around... and realized we are way too close to Berk. Omg. The whole village is watching, they sat a boat sail. Omg. OMG. I flipped the flag on Toothless.
- ... I SAW WHISPER SLICED AND LOT MORE DRAGON TOO THEIR GUTS EVERYWHERE ...
- Torch! Humans coming!
- ...I PANICKED AND WHEN I SAW YOU FLY I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...
- GO HOME AND GET HELP.
He backed away shocked at my loud voice, and shook his had.
- What?
- GO AND GET HELP. Tell them I'm at Berk. They will know what to do.
- Ok..
- NOW!!!
He finally turned around fast and started to fly away when I heard viking shouts from the small ship. I turned around worriedly, I recognized the warriors, even though it's strange how they got older. I was speechless. I sat down and lay my head at Toothless back... and I tried to think of something.
They cheered how I scared away the dragon by shouting... well they don't know I can speak Dragonesse, which basically different types of roars. They told me to get on the boat but I shook my head, they had emphatic look on their faces, asked few more things but when I didn't reply they didn't bothered to try to make conversation with me. They dropped a rope that I knotted to the wood I was using as a boat.
Well. I'm in a deeeeep shit, am I not?
I stared the island and I was glad I had my helmet on, so they don't know who I am, and my white face because I doubt if there any blood remained in it, and now I'm as scared as when the monster attacked us.
They will ask about me. What should I tell? They probably think I'm a survivor. Yeah I could roll with it. I'm an unfortunate survivor who lost his friends in a fight. I'm the only one. Whats under the flag? Ummm... some supply that I found... and my dead friends belongings for the family? And I don't want anybody to touch it because they are personal and I want to place them by myself? Sounds good enough.
We arrived. Omg. I still don't know what to say! Such a big crowd and noise. I nearly forgot what is it like. My father shouted to calm down his people, and it shook me out from my daydream.
- Let the lad have some breath! Are you okay?
I wanted to nod but I shook my head.
- What happened? Come tell us. I guess you were searching for the nest, weren't you?
I don't want to leave Toothless' side... but... it would be the best if I take the crowd away from him.
- Come.
He held his hand out for me, I accepted.
- Take his stuff from the boat!
He shouted but I interrupted loudly.
- NO!
- Why not?
- My.. my... my.. ship was destroyed... With everyone on it. I... I... collected their personal belongings for their family... I'd like to take care of it by myself.
- Umm okay than. But before it, come, have something to eat and If you don't mind we would listen your story. I guess you didn't find the nest, did you?
We walked up to the village.
- ... we did.
- WHAT!
- There were too many of them, we had no chance...
- Where it is?!
- I'll tell you... but can we wait with it?
- ...Why not. Come on take of your helmet.
- I'd rather not. I had a big wound that needed to be taken of, and I'm glad I stopped the bleeding. I've lost too much blood already I wouldn't survive if we'd change it right now.
- Oh. Wow. Sorry. Half day later I think we can change it, our elder will help you injury.
- Thank you. Could you do me a favor?
- Of course. What is it?
- Do you have some captured dragons? I have to rip one apart! Or more! It's not full of pride but I just have to.
I tried to say it with enthusiasm... I hope they'll take it. I'm so proud of myself! I came up with such a good lie within a few minutes!
- I understand your feelings... both my wife and my only son was taken from me, and killing these beasts helped me too. Currently we have a nadder and a nightmare I can offer them to you. Gobber, bring them here!
Ohhh myyy gooshh! I can't believe it! It's working! IT'S WORKING. Wait did he just said I was killed by one? ... it's totally understandable but hey it's weird to hear I'm dead...
- Until than we have time. What's your name?
- Can we talk about me afterwards...?
- ... I'd like to know who is on MY island... but you've been through a lot, I can see you are still shaking. I guess we can wait... but is there anything you would like to share 'till than?
I knew it. He wants to know where's the nest so he is playing nice. Thanks Thor I told them I know!
- We saw the Queen.
- The Queen? What is it like? Is she a human like the Dragon Conquer?
He laugh try to lighten the mood. Wow. I wouldn't have guessed he can do that. Or ummm it wasn't a joke? I don't want to know what peoples think about me y.y
- Nope. Hm. You have quite a mountain here. Is it big?
- ...umm what? You can see yourself! It's pretty big...
- Yap. That monster three times bigger. Maybe more.
- WHAT?! You are joking.
- I saw with my very own eyes...
- Get your paws of me you filthy smelly human! Grrrrr
- You overgrown chicken! Know your place!
He hit the nadder with the face of the axe, which made him obey. Poor dragon! I started to act like I'm going to hurt them but instead I spoke up, acting like I'm just a way too angry human who is shouting to scare them.
- I'll help you get free but help my friend, he is down at the docks.
- What? You speak our language?!
- I am. I was called by many names, for example Dragon Whisperer.
- Oh! I'm sorry for not recognizing you earlier!
- No need to apologize. Break free and I'll cover your back. My friend, a nigthfury is unconscious, he is on a ship. Please help.
- Of course!
- Fire on!
He covered himself with fire, I throw three throwing knife to the nadder's rope, while the the nightmare slapped a few vikings on it's face with his tail, but when a deadly blow was striking down I saved him with my sword. He immediately avoid fighting and ran for his freedom behind the nadder who was already in the air. I took down few more attackers, and when they realized what I'm doing I ran of to the edge, I jumped down and I called for them.
- Help!
I fell on the nadders back and I led them to the docks, I jumped down next to Toothless, I throw the rope to the nigthmare, he pulled it. A few viking reached us, I was saved by a few spike but it wasn't soon enough. When I looked up he had an arrow in his belly which was followed with more. The nigthmare and my "ship" was far out of my reach, he turned around to help but I screamed:
- JUST GO! DON'T TURN BACK! FIND MY FRIENDS!
- Where?
- IF YOU GO STRAIGHT EVERYONE WILL KNO...
Someone grabbed me, though the nadder spikes, shove me to the ground, than I felt a hard hit on my head. Everything was blurry again, the world spun with me.
I saw legs, and more legs. They were dragging me. I didn't care. Toothless will be in safe hands, I don't care about anything else. The calming darkness surrounded me.
