Property of Viggo Grimborn

Charpter 4 | checkmate.

Viggo began to think. Of everything. It was all connecting in his head, how hiccup could tame almost any dragon. It was because he was a dragon whisper. The hand thing he does, is just a way he can say he's a friend not an enemy.

Viggo began to smirk realising just how useful his dear hiccup could be.

Viggo stood from a distance and just listened. Admiring how hiccup and the death song was so close, they had a strong bond already. This could only mean they already knew eachother. Viggo looked down at hiccup and made eye contact with his property. Hiccups eyes were all watery and filled with anger.

" why. " hiccup said in a small weep.

" my dear, dragons will only be hurt if they are disobeying or giving us a hard time. We do what is best for business. We usually don't harm them as there worth more unharmed. But you see with this death song, it's worth the same amount just as long as its alive" viggo stated with a huge grin.

Hiccup felt vile, looking between his enemy and garf.

" can I Atleast tend to his wounds.? " hiccup asked in a low tone. Mainly because he was worried for garf and scared of viggo.

" do what you like, as long as you don't try to escape. I couldn't care less. " viggo stated while ordering one of his men to go take hiccup to tend to the death songs wounds.

Viggo followed, making sure to stay close to hiccup as they went to get supplies. Hiccup knelt down next to the wooden box, and pulled out a couple things which he thought would be the best. With viggo leading hiccup back towards the death song, hiccup could still feel everyone's eyes on him.

Once they reached the death song, garf made a weird tune which made Hiccup smile. Viggo didn't know what the tune was but he was very interested in how they communicated. Viggo was stood a little far back but just enough in range to reach hiccup.

Viggo ordered two of his guards to stand near the cage, just incase hiccup tried anything. Both guards where equipped with dragon root arrows, while one of them began to unlock the death songs cage. The other stood ready for anything to happen.

Hiccup raised his hand up and allowed the death song to sniff hiccup, placing his snout on the palm on the one legged Viking. Hiccup smiled at this and began to tend to garfs wounds. Hiccup started with the arrows, which were all pierced through garfs thick scales.

Hiccup began to apply cream to each arrow making the scales numb around them. This would allow hiccup to pull the arrows out without hurting garf to much. Hiccup waited 5 minutes for the cream to soak into the skin. While hiccup waited he began to disinfect all of garfs wounds. Hoping they wouldn't get infected.

After hiccup was done disinfecting all of garfs wounds he moved back towards the arrows, hiccup put his left hand arrow the arrow while he spoke in dragonese to try calm down the death song. Hiccups left hand applied pressure allowing the arrow to slip out a tad bit. While his right pulled the dragon rout arrow out of the death songs scales. This process was repeated for a whole 6 times till there was one more. But this one was different. This arrow was lodged right in. This one would hurt Garf a lot. And hiccup didn't want that. Hiccup started to think of ways he could get it out without hurting garf, but he couldn't think of anything.

Viggo took note of hiccups pause. Realising something was up.

" is everything alright my dear? " viggo spoke placing a his hands on hiccups waist.

Hiccup froze, at viggos touch.

"mhm. Yeah I'm okay, it's just this arrow. It's properly in. Pierced right through the skin, if I wanted to take it out I'd have to push the arrow through and get it from the other side, which would hurt garf. " hiccup spoke.

" Garf? " viggo replied confused at the name.

" that's his name. Garf. " hiccup spoke abit louder this time.

" so you do know this dragon? " viggo replied

" mhm. We have had him since he was just an egg. The rest of the riders and I trained him and made him apart of our group. " hiccup replied in a low tone

Hiccup began thinking of every possible way he could get that arrow out. It was to far lodged into the thick skin for hiccup to be able to pull it out, the only way out was from the other side. Hiccup could put numbing cream on the other side where the arrow would be pushed out. Allowing the numbing cream to soak into Garfs skin. But this would take time, and hiccup didn't know just how long viggo would want to stay out here.

After a long time thinking, hiccup left viggos grasp. Walking towards the injured death song, hiccup ordered to lay down. The dragon done exactly as hiccup told him, hiccup stood next to the death song, and applied some numbing cream. Then snapped the end of the arrow off, allowing the broken arrow to fall to the ground.hiccup picked up a metal rod, which was hollow inside, ordered the death song to spit onto the metal rod.

Once the death songs amber coated the rod, hiccup walked up towards the arrow as fast as he could before it hardened ontop of the arrow. This made it easier to pull the arrow out as it had a bigger hand mass and a lot more texture for hiccup to grip at.

Hiccup calmed the death song down, and in one quick motion he pulled the arrow straight out. Earning a roar, of pain escaping the death songs mouth. Hiccup looked down and apologised, telling Garf there was nothing else he could of done, the other options would of hurt more.

Hiccup began to treat and sew up garfs wounds. Once hiccup was finally finished garf thanked him in a happy tune leaving the young Viking completely forget where he was. It was like he was saving dragons with his best friends. But in reality he was held against his own will, and branded by viggo grinborn.

Once hiccup was finished, garf was put back into his cage. And hiccup was tucked back into the side of viggo. Viggos arm wrapped around hiccups slim figure, pulling the younger male closer.

Viggo and hiccup walked up towards toothless cage, once hiccup heard the sound of his best friend, tears pricked at his eyes, as his Legs ran towards that so comforting sound.

Toothless took note to the sound of footsteps slamming off the floor. Only to be replaced with pure joy at the sight of his best friend. Hiccup. Toothless jumped up from laying down, and rested his head against the bars while a dragon hunter began to unlock toothless cell. Allowing the dragon freedom to jump at hiccup, tackle his best friend to the group covering him in dragon saliva.

Hiccup began to laugh of pure joy for the first time in 2 weeks, since his imprisonment.

Hiccup laughed and turned as his best friend and him, messed on.

Hiccup used this as a distraction, thinking viggo wouldn't expect hiccup to make an attempt to escape mainly because toothless was missing his tail Finn.

Hiccup began to sing an all to familiar tune. One he sang to Garf earlier. Viggo froze at the noice ordering his men to surround hiccup. While a noise that copied hiccups melody relied.

Garf fired his amber at toothless making a cocoon, to protect his friend. While hiccup jumped on Garfs back. Garf picked up toothless in his mouth as the sound of flying arrows started to form.

Viggo stood still not even seeming amused at hiccups attempt at escaping.

Viggo began to raise his left hand, followed by a huge wall of dragon hunters to form.

Arrows began to pierce through the sky, far to many of them for Garf to dodge, Garth began to cry as he felt arrows pierce his scales, leaving viggo to say one singular word as garf, hiccup and toothless began to fall.

"Checkmate."
