All in a day's work

'1'

You counted mentally as you pierced your sword through the first attacker's heart, his blood sprayed onto you after pulling it out. Damn it, you've just washed your armor recently.

'2'

Another, as you slid your blade across his neck from behind. Your movements are starting to get in the familiar rhythm as the fight progressed. Fortunately, you're already warmed up after the fight with the dragon riders.

'5'

You threw three daggers at their direction. Not even looking to make sure they're down, you have heard their bodies dropped to the ground with a thud among the grunts and shouts, plus the horrified look in your next victim's eyes gave it away, before they too roll to the back of his head.

Your whole body moved swiftly, depending on the adrenaline that pumped through your veins.

'6'

Quickly rolling out of the way, another one fell due to being shot for being in your previous spot. A shot to the chest.

You can't help but feel a tiny bit sorry for him, he died by a comrade's mistake, but it went as quickly as it came before you stabbed another while throwing daggers to finish the last two that were on the ground.

'10'

Ducking behind a barrel, you loaded up two arrows into your mini crossbows on your wrists. You carefully glanced behind the barrel, quickly pulling back, almost earning an arrow in the eye. You shot at the shooter, luckily receiving a satisfying drop to the ground.

'11'

Last two left. Before you can react, you hear a sharp whistle and then two explosions erupting behind you. You came out of your hiding place to see the charred remains of the last two guards, with Midnight landing in between them.

"13." You said with a smile. Then proceeded to relocate your thrown daggers. You can never waste good metal.

"Your welcome." Midnight bowed her head, looking up at you with a smugly, which again made you can't help but roll your eyes. "Ya, ya. Now let's get out of here." You mounted her and took off into the dark sky, where the rest of the rescued dragons are waiting.

"Light it up!" You shouted.

In an instant, the surroundings of the ship lit up, looking like a ring of fire. The lower deck of the ship exploded in pieces, causing it to burn and drown the rest of the ship. If there were any more survivors, there wouldn't be any now.

The first Hideous Zippelback you saved, in which you named temporarily Gas and Spark, flew towards you with four more Zippelbacks in tow.

"Great job, everyone. Now lets head to your new home." The dragons roared in cheer as Midnight took the lead. Finally, you calmed down and took in a deep breath of the morning wind, letting the chilly air burn your nostrils.

"I'm so gonna take a nap when we get home." Midnight yawned.

"That makes two of us." You chuckled, before yawning too.

Hiccup mindlessly pushed his food around his plate while the others gobbled their food, his food kept being poked and pushed around but it didn't seem like he ate anything. It's currently in the morning and the group had came down to the kitchen to find covered cooked breakfast waiting for them.

They excitedly ate the delicious food while discussing random topics, except for Hiccup. He has been quiet the whole morning except for asking them if they knew whether you have returned. All he received were negative answers.
