A New Life in Httyd

Bonding With Dragons

Leaving Hicca on her own little mission, I ran back to the village, as I headed toward the village healer. Climbing the stairs that looked as if you'd break them on each step you took, I made my way up towards the hut on the small cliff.

"Hey Gothi can I get some medicine for wounds?" I asked as she began scribbling in a box of sand on the ground with her staff.

"Why do I need it? Oh no reason, you can never be too careful you know." I say, smiling hoping she believes my words. Squinting her eyes at me she sighed before going into her hut to grab cloth and some other things which I assume is the medicine I asked for, as she stuffed them in a bag.

"Thanks a lot, Gothi you're the best!" I yelled as I took the bag before carefully running down the steps as I made my way back to the village center.

Stopping by a fish stall, I bought a few decently sized fish. I also took some water in a skin pouch before racing toward the forest. As I walked I couldn't help but notice how scenic the forest really is when I'm not fighting for my life.

Sighing to myself I walked for a while before finally reaching the cave where I had left the Skrill. Entering the cave I see the Skrill sleeping, as I begin approaching closer it jerks awake, turning its head toward me and growling before realizing who I was and snorting at me.

"Nice to see you too."

Snorting, the dragon looks at the fish I had brought with me before slowly getting up, still hurt from our battle, it begins to walk toward me.

"As promised I brought you some fish." Holding out one of the fish I threw it to the large dragon as it caught it in its open maw. Quickly devouring the large fish it turns back to me, grunting for more as I give him the rest of the fish I had brought.

Setting the fish on the ground, I watched as the Skrill began to move closer to eat the fish. Moving toward the back of the dragon's legs, I put the bag down before opening it. As I did this the Skrill looked up, growling at me as I took out the medicine.

"Try not to attack me. This medicine will help you heal faster. Unless you want those cuts to become infected." I told the Skrill as it snarled at me before going back to chowing down on the fish.

"Good." Taking the medicine I carefully spread it across the wounds and cuts it had before bandaging them with the cloth I had.

"There, that should do it." Wrapping the cloth a final time I took a step back before sitting on the ground, as I took out the pouch of water before drinking some.

"Want some?" I asked the dragon that laid beside me. Grunting the dragon opens its mouth. Taking it as a sign I began pouring water into its mouth as it drank, probably from dehydration now that I thought about it.

After emptying the pouch I stared at the dragon taking a real good look at it without us fighting. And I have got to admit it looked awesome.

'This dragon... there must be no other dragon like it.' Thinking to myself I slowly lifted my hand up towards its head. As I did this the Skrill looked at me grumbling a bit before letting me place my hand on its head.

"Wow... how can your skin be so smooth but hard at the same time?" I asked no one in particular as I brushed my hand across its skin. "Sorry I did this to you, but you did kind of try and kill me." I laughed at the dragon before it swished its tail forward hitting me in the back of the head.

"Hey!" Turning back to the dragon I saw it grinning and making a sound that resembled laughter. "Very funny, anyways I'll be back later, I'll be seeing you soon." Leaving the cave I began walking back to the village, smiling in satisfaction with my progress with the Skrill.
