The Forgotten Warrior

Tending the Wound

Astrid

Then he walked over to the bed and set me down because he was still holding me.

You got to admit, he's stronger than he looks. He carried me into the caves, throughout the tour, and into his room where we talked for a while.

"This is where you're sleeping."

"Where are you going to sleep?"

"I was going to lay down with Toothless over there." He said pointing to a slab of rock with a few burn marks on it.

"What! No way!" I said stubbornly.

"Astrid, I was telling you, I wasn't asking. Besides, your injured." He answered back.

"Ugh! Fine, but I'm not injured!"

"Oh, yeah?" He said, before touching my knee.

I winced.

Great

"I rest my case." He said, walking towards the now sleeping Toothless and Stormfly.

Before you knew it, Hiccup and the dragons were sound asleep. But I on the other hand could not get a single ounce of sleep.

My knee was throbbing through the the entire night.

When we were fighting the dragon hunters, Hiccup and I faught back your back for as long as we could, but there was a short time when we got separated. Of course, in that short time I got hurt.

I was fighting this huge guy that had two swords in his hands. His swordsmanship was something to admire. Anyway, he sliced my knee pretty hard.

I finally fell asleep, only to wake up a few hours later.

Hiccup

I woke up and stretched. Astrid was still asleep, so I went fishing. I caught ten fish, four for Toothless, four for Stormfly, one for Astrid, and one for me. I also filled our bottles with water.

When I came back inside Astrid was just waking up.

"Hey, your up!"

"Yeah, I didn't get much sleep."

I turned my head to the side, in confusion, "Why?"

"My knee, remember..."

"Oh right!" I said walking towards her.

"Can I take a look?" She noddd.

I took off her boot and unraveled her leggings up to her knee. There was a gash from the middle of her knee to the left.

"Wow..." we both said in unison.

"Does it hurt?"

"Nooo!" She said dryly.

"Right sorry"

She sighed, "It's ok, do you have anything?"

"Yeah, hang on." I said, walking towards my satchel that was hanging on the chair that was at my desk.

I took out a small bottle made out of Gronckle glass that was labeled NFS. Then I walked towards her.

"What is that?"

"It's Night Fury Saliva. Do you remember it's healing powers?"

"Yeah."

I slowly poured a little bit on her cut and she winced slightly. Then I took a cloth and wrapped it around her knee, rewrapped her leggings and put her boot back on.

"There you go." I whispered.

"Thanks." She whispered back.
