Unique (a HTTYD Fanfic)

NO.

I don't know how long passed in the state I was in, I felt empty again and I felt like all hope was lost, my home, my son and a family I had found again seemed to be destroyed without a moments notice. It was like the world was drained of all it's color and beauty leaving behind a cold and barren land never to grow a plant again. I walked though those days like the dead and nothing seemed to bring me back for a great while, most of my days are spent either in the hut in bed staining at the roof or at the willow tree on what felt like the edge of the world stair ring out into the ocean watching, waiting for anything that might mean something.

It wasn't untill late winter when I snapped out of the dream like state I was in one day and I will forever be greatfull for the words that were said they day.
Thora was packing food for the men in the forges that day and was going to deliver them soon,

" alayah? Do you want to come with me to the forges?"

" no."

"Alayah, come. On. You've been in this hut for nearly the whole winter you will get sick! Come on your going with me."

" Thora..."

" NO!"

Thora slammed the basket of food down onto the table with the shout before turning to look at me a Frown on her face and a fierce glare set on me.

" I AM SICK OF THIS.. THIS MOPING ALAYAH! YES YOUR VILLAGE WAS BURNED BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW THERES NOBODY THAT SURVIVED HUH?! YOUR SITTING ON YOUR RUMP DOING NOTHING TO EVEN FIND OUT IF THE WORDS THEY SAID ARE TRUE?"

"AND EHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT IT THORA? IVE LOST MY VILLAGE AND I HAVE NO IDEA IF ANYONE SURVIVED LET ALONE WHERE THEY WOULD BE! IVE LOST MY DAUGHTER ALLREADY AND MY SON ONCE! I-I won't be able to handle knowing if I've lost him again, for real this time, I- I want to know if anyone survived but I'm so pained by the thought that what if he is not among the survivors Thora?!"

" how will you know if you don't try and find him? He might be alive and move on without either of you knowing each outher are alive as well, Alayah I know you have been though a lot but I want you to know that if that was my son out there alone thinking I was dead I would try my most to try and find him agin and if he is not among the living then he is with his sister. And that is that, I can't watch you waste away thinking something is true if you have never sought out the answers for yourself."

She looks away from me and my head drops my eyes burning with tears and my gaze burning into the wooden floor. I hear her take a deep breath gathering her basket once again, her footsteps fade and the door opens quietly before shutting harshly.

I stare at the ground thinking of her words as they seem to stab into my soul tearing open new wounds and old ones as well, it hurts because I know she's right. As my mind thinks my body seems to move of it's own accord and soon I am laying on my bed facing the wall of the hut. I lay for quite a long while afterwards before coming to a realization.

I don't know if anyone's alive or not, they have a army of dragons and have plenty of time to escape.. they had to have been attacked a bit after I was, but it's been months and it's winter they could be anywhere Its going to be hard to travel with a boat- I'm a dragon! I can go anywhere I don't need a boat or rations let alone worry about winter! I will find my son and the survivors of my home.

After that exhaustion pulled me in like a sea dragon slowly dragging me down into darkness. I let the darkness fade a new fire burning in me and for the first time since I heard of burk frigg stirred and started to thrash in excitement of the flight to come.
