Magnus's POV:
After a few hours with the dragons, I see Hiccup coming into the cove. "Hey." He said, "You okay?"
"Yes," I say Non convincingly. "No."
"What's up?" Hiccup asked me. I shake my head. "Oh come on, I won't tell."
"You're not going to let this go, are you?" I ask and he shakes his head. I sigh, "When that Gronckle had me pinned, I asked it why it wasn't trying to kill me... and it said something... in dragon. I understood it Hiccup. But what it said... unnerved me."
"What did it say?" He asked. I felt a nudge on my side and I see Stormstryker comforting me.
"Thanks Storm" I say, "She said 'why would I kill another dragon.'"
"Come with me." Hiccup said, getting up from his spot next to me. "I want to show you something"
I hesitate but get up to follow him. We walk all the way to the dock. "Why did you take me to the dock?" I ask.
He ignores me and walks up to a boat that doesn't have the berk colors. "This boat... it has a past that you wouldn't remember." He says before continuing. "I don't even remember it. I only remember what Dad told me about it." He says looking at me with an unreadable expression which I only seen on him once before. "He said that it had a note on it with a baby next to the note. The note said, 'Whomever finds this baby, be warned of what it is.' Dad ignored the warning and took the baby in and raised him as his own. Do you know who the kid was?"
I think for a moment before saying, "Me?" He nodded.
"You've been kind to every dragon you've run into. I think... there's a legend of a half dragon half human that is said to end the war of dragons and humans." Hiccup says to me once we got back to the cove.
"And you think that's me?" I ask.
"Yes. It makes sense. Why else would you be able to understand dragon?"
"Does dad know?"
"I think he suspects that." Hiccup responds, "What are you going to do about training? If dad finds out you got kicked out of dragon training, You'd be dead in a matter of milliseconds."
"Don't remind me." I say, "I'll talk to Gobber and if I have to, get on my hands and knees and beg to get back in."
"I'd have to see that."
"You won't get to. I've never had to do that, and I won't start now." I say then tackle Hiccup to the ground.
"Hey! Get off of me!" He said, then he sees something behind me. "Oh no, no, no, no. Toothless stop."
Then I feel a bone crushing wight on my back. "Owwww. Toothless get off." Then that wight doubled. "STORMSTRYKER!!!!" I scream at the top of my lungs.
"You did that to your self." Hiccup said from beside me.
"How did you...?"
"I noticed that you loosened your grip once Toothless hit you, so when you did that I slipped out." He responds.
"Cool... now... can... you... get... your... dragon... off... of me? I... can't... breath..." I respond between breaths.
"No." He says simply.
"Fine then." I say still out of breath. " Toothless, Stormstryker... Lick attack..." I say pointing to my brother.
"Ok... if you say so." Stormstryker says and I could hear the smirk on his face.
"No not me... Hiccup." I say as he and Toothless start to lick me. "Stop.. it."
"No" Toothless says to me.
"I will bring the village here." I say playfully.
"You wouldn't dare" both dragons say in mock hurt.
"Hey Hiccup, how about a hug?" I said, walking towards him with my arms wide open.
"I'm good..." He said backing up. "Toothless, crush." Then the breath is nocked right out of my body.
"Get... off." I say in between breaths. "Toothless,... I can't... Breath. And it feels like my spine is going to break." With that said, he finally got up. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to make a trip to Gothi's."
"Here let me help wash the dragon drool off of you." And then I gave Hiccup a slobbery hug. "ughh... that's disgusting."
"You did this to yourself." I say with a smug look on my face. Then I hear two dragon laughs behind me. "See, they get it." And then I hear two sets of feet approaching and jump out of the way just before they hit me. "Not getting me a third time."
"Dang it." Storm says. Then I ran to the lake to wash the slobber off of my face.
And after that I whistle to get both dragons off of poor Hiccup. "Thank you." He said.
"I'll be at Gothi's if you need me. I need to get rid of this pain." I say, walking to the healer's hut.
A few hours after that I went to Gobber's to get back into training. "Gobber! I need to talk to you." I call into the blacksmith stall.
"What do you need?" Gobber asked me, irritation in his voice.
"I want to get back into training. I'll do anything you need. I'll even take an extra shift for you here at the stall." I say, planning to continue. But before I could, he interrupted me.
"There's no need for that. You can get back in, on ONE condition." He responded.
"Anything"
"What happened with that Gronckle?" Then I spent the next hour explaining what happened on that first day. "I see. Alright, see you tomorrow. And as punishment for that outburst, you can teach the class tomorrow, while taking it."
I nod, "Goodnight Gobber."
Once I get back to the Haddock residence only to see Hiccup sitting at the table and I see that he made dinner, and he's surprisingly good at cooking.
"How'd it go?" He said once he saw me.
"Well, I got back in, but I have to teach the class, while attending it." I respond.
"How's that going to work."
"We'll just have to see tomorrow." And after that conversation, we both start to eat in silence.
After I finish I went straight to bed, because I knew that I'd be waking up before the sun is even up.
