Ello!

Anyone see Star Wars: Rogue One! Amazing!

Also, if you're into a more modern day Hiccstrid, I've got a new book coming out called Deserted, and I'd love it if you read it!

First chapter is out now!

Gonna be good!

Warning: Will most likely have Tuffnut overload, as I am prone to doing.

HICCUP'S POV

I wake up to nothing but pain.

A searing pain quietly exploding through my entire body.

I groan loudly, rolling onto may stomach slamming my fist on the ground. It probably wasn't my smartest move as that was the place I was most injured, and groaned again until deciding it was time to move.

I rolled over again and tried, to sit up, Toothless helping me. I looked around the cave to find it deserted, and started a slight panic.

I got up, causing me to feel light-headed, but I ignored it as I sort-of limped over to the cave, not even realizing I'd hurt my foot during the battle.

I walked to the front of the cave, hearing nothing but the harsh wind.

Then something landed in front of me, and I was shocked to see Tuffnut riding Windshear.

"Tuffnut?" I blinked, taken aback by him on Windshear.

"What? It's no so hard to believe I could own a razor whip."

I wasn't in the mood for his games. "Why are you riding Windshear?"

"Oh. That. I made a bet with her." He put shortly.

"And what bet would that be?" He queried.

"That I could ride Windshear without falling off. I almost got it to. I was coming back here and I fell off. It's really windy and her scales are so smooth I fell right off. Ugh, I hate losing bets. Luckily she didn't see me. I think I can get away with not telling her. Ah, but I'm telling you! There goes that plan. Now I'm gonna have to pay. It's all your fault Hiccup. Now I have to---"

"Tuff, where is everyone?" I asked, rolling his eyes.

"Oh. They went out to help you, though you look fine to me. I mean you're standing and everything." He speculated, dropping a bag on the ground.

With my initial panic and annoyance for Tuff subsided, my pain came back full force. I doubled over and moaned.

"Okay, maybe you do look that bad." Tuff theorized. "Anyway, they'll be back soon." He looked around the cave. "I'm supposed to find a pot..." He muttered, wandering into the darkness. 

Hiccup sighed a short choppy sigh. "Thanks for the help, Tuff." He snapped, turning back towards the entrance of the cave.

"Where'd they go?" He whispered to himself.

Then a figure appeared in front of him. It was a female figure, so there was a 2/3 chance that it was someone sane.

But as he looked more clearly, he saw that it was no any of the Dragon Riders.

He guessed he should have realized from the giant Triple Stryke. Triple Stryke?!

He stumbled backwards, ending up falling on his back and his vision exploding with stars at the impact.

Toothless jumped in front of him, snarling at the newcomer before looking back to make sure Hiccup was okay.

The girl calmly walked forward, her Triple Stryke protecting her.

"Please... Leave me... alone." He rasped, scrambling away from the stranger.

"You are Hiccup Haddock, no?" She said looking down at the shriveled boy.

He nodded once.

"Your friends are very kind." She stated before vanishing into the darkness of the cave.

Yet another person landed at the entrance, but this time, thankfully, it was Astrid.

She saw Hiccup and rushed over to him. "Hiccup what's wrong."

He wanted to talk about the mysterious girl who was trailing Tuff, but decided he pain was too great "Can't... breathe." He wheezed.

"Echo!" She called into the cave as Heather, Ruff, Snotlout, and Fishlegs came in.

"No... time for... games." He said sarcastically.

"Hiccup, do not be making jokes!" She snapped worriedly.

"I was just making sure Tuff didn't get lost." She noted as Tuff appeared beside her.

Hiccup scrambled back, his emerald eyes wide.

"Hiccup!" She said as he groaned in pain.

"Sorry, Hiccup. My name is Echo." She confirmed.

He started coughing painfully as he looked at her.

"Now if you don't mind, I'd like to help you." She snorted, rolling her eyes.

He looked at Astrid.

"You need to get better, Hiccup." She sighed. "We're running out of options."

He nodded.

"Great, let's begin!" Echo said/
