The Dragon Thief of The Edge ( A HTTYD RTTE Fanfic )

Chapter 10: Part 3 of Dragon Eye of the Beholder Part 2

It's was now night, and Vera & her dragons were now at Gothi's hut with the Dragon riders and Gobber. The six baby dragons sniffed the air curiously when Gobber open the pot of soup he had made for Gothi.

Gobber: It's the old bat's weakness, ( to Gothi, knowingly: ) isn't it? Come on. You know you can't resist Gobber's homemade yak noodle soup.

Vera's eyes widened in shock when the elderly healer downs the entire pot of soup in the matter of seconds. Estrella and all the baby dragons had looks of shock on their faces as well, except for Fearless, he had a cute impressed smile on his face.

Vera: ( under her breath, but the riders still heard her: ) Holy mother of Thor. She downed that like a Hobgobbler on a feeding frenzy.

Fishlegs: ( to Hiccup: ) Does any of what she said make sense?

Hiccup shrugs his shoulders in response before stepping forward to Gothi and Vera followed him.

Hiccup: ( to Gothi: ) Now, tell me about this bite mark-

Vera: ( to Hiccup, as she gently smacked him in the back of his head: ) ¡Espectáculo ella algo de respeto!

Astrid: ( while looking at Vera, with an impressed smile: ) Alright, I like this thief.

Hiccup: ( as he rubs the back of his head where Vera hit him: ) Ow! What-

Vera: ( to Gothi, respectfully: ) You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, ma'am, if it's too traumatic for you.

Gothi thought for a moment then sighed before she picked up her staff and started writing in the dirt.

Gobber: ( translating Gothi's writing: ) When I was a turkey neck- ( gets hit on the head by Gothi's staff, making the baby dragons laugh ) Ow! Teenager. Sorry. I had a longing to climb Glacier Island to find pure glacial water known for its healing properties. So, I went with two vegetables. ( Gets hit on the head by Gothi's staff again ) Ow! Vikings. Sorry. ( Chuckles ) I'm a bit rusty.

Vera sighs before she had Gobber move aside.

Vera: ( to Gobber, politely: ) Let me try, before you risk getting yourself knocked out cold.

Gobber: ( as he steps aside after getting a nod of approval from Gothi: ) Alright, lass. You can give it a go.

Vera: ( translating Gothi's writing: ) We had only been at the summit for a few hours when we were hit by a terrible snowstorm. That's when it attacked.

All the baby dragons, except for Fearless hid under Estrella's wings as Vera continued translating Gothi's story, but Fearless calmly listened with a cute smile on his face.

Vera: ( translating Gothi's writing: ) It was vicious. Relentless. And impossible to see in a white-out. The Snow Wraith. It bit me and gave me this scar before it hurled me into a mound of snow. I'll never know why it didn't finish me off that day. I left knowing only one thing, that I never wanted to see that dragon again.

Gothi gave Vera a grateful smile for being able to translate her writing with very little problem, which Vera happily gave a smile back in return, then Vera's smile disappeared when she heard Hiccup speak.
