Curse of the Lycanwing

8

I kept opening my eyes for a little bit, but I kept closing them fast. I saw the sky and the stars. I was moving. My body was all torn up. Claw marks were engraved into my flesh and that thing took a nibble on my shoulder. One leg was missing, good news is it was already fake. Everything else that monster grabbed was not. I was hurting all over both inside and outside. I saw what I thought was Fishlegs and Meatlug, but I couldn't tell. I couldn't tell what anything was. 

Something was dragging me. I assumed it was Toothless. My eyes closed, for a while. I began to feel something slimy moving around on my face; my torn up face. I slowly opened my eyes. Fishlegs and Toothless were both staring at me. 

"Hi." I said. 

"Hiccup. Oh thank Thor you're alive." Fishlegs said hugging me. 

"Ow." I said. 

"Sorry." Fishlegs said. 

Toothless growled and smiled. He licked me and nudged me. It didn't hurt my torn up body that much. 

"Hiccup. What happened?" Fishlegs asked. 

"Something attacked me in that ravine something fast and vicious." I told. 

"These claw marks are not like anything I've ever seen before. And that bite mark-" Fishlegs started. 

I heard Stormfly and Windsheir. Heather and Astrid looked pretty worried. 

"Hiccup! Are you alright?" Heather asked. 

"Been better." I said. 

"What happened Hiccup? What attacked you?" Astrid asked. 

"I don't know I couldn't see it. But it was fast and dangerous." I said. 

"Is he going to be okay?" Astrid asked. 

"He should be fine. But I don't know about that bite mark." Fishlegs said. 

"Incoming!!!" Tuffnut yelled. 

Barf and Belch were spinning out of control. I could hear the screaming. They didn't land near us. But they did destroy several trees.

"Ugh. Sorry about that. We kind of hit something." Ruffnut apologized. 

"Whoa. Hiccup you look like that ragdoll that Old Boar tore up." Tuffnut remarked.

"Yes thank you." I said. 

"And where did you get that sweet bite-mark?" Ruffnut asked. 

"I was attacked by something with eyes red as blood." I said. 

"Red as blood? That sounds like...Lycanwing!!" Tuffnut said striking a rather funny pose. 

We all stared at him like he was mad. 

"Tuff, the Lycanwing is a myth. There's no such thing." Fishlegs said. 

"Didn't we already establish this when Tuffnut got bit by that wolf?" Astrid asked. 

"Yeah, of course we wouldn't have to do that whole episode if it weren't for someone..." Ruffnut said looking at Snotlout. 

"It wasn't all my fault." Snotlout defended. 

"Oh it definitely was." Ruffnut said. 

"No it wasn't!" Snotlout yelled. 

"Yeah it kind of was." Astrid said. 

"Shut up Astrid." Snotlout said. 

This was getting out of hand. I had to calm this situation down. 

"Guys calm down. Can we just get back to the edge?" I asked. 

I tried to stand up. But my legs were as weak as sticks. I began to slip. Toothless saved me from falling onto the floor. Fishlegs helped me on Toothless. 

"We should get him to Gothy." Astrid said. 

"Then it's to Berk." I said.
