New Night Fury?

Chapter 5

Hiccup's POV

Toothless and the other dragons dragged the six of us outside of the tent and a couple minutes later we saw white mist coming out from the inside of the tent and me and Astrid went in to see Stealthwave in a layer of ice. I went up to him and touched the surface of the ice and I felt heat underneath it, How? I looked back at Astrid.

"He's fine, it's like the ice is a protective layer as something is going on inside of it, like a cocoon" she came over and gasped as she felt it too, and then I noticed that his eyes were open, shouldn't they be closed. Then they moved and we backed up real fast and fell on our buts.

"You saw that too" she said and I nodded and then a rumbling sound came from the dragon shaking the floor and I realized that Stealthwave was laughing. 

"Don't do that to us, you scared us half to death" I yelled at him and his expression remained gleeful, and this confused me. Then the mist started to swirl and it formed words. 

I am in a state that uses little power while i heal myself. Need a-lot of concentration. Can't hear you talking due to the ice. Like this for a couple days, or weeks. 

What did he mean like this for a couple weeks, he won't be able to eat or anything and I saw his eyes close underneath the ice and it seemed to glow again and the ice got bigger, thicker, and he looked like he was dead inside of it. 

"Well that was" 

"Different" Astrid finished for me and we looked at each-other before walking out of the cave and telling the others and the dragons what happened and they went in and Toothless circled Stealthwave looking at him curiously. Then after a long while of talking and looking at Stealthwave in his strange state we eventually got cold and I issued a dragon race. 

-------------------------------

We were at the edge of berk facing the ocean, and I stated the rules. 

"We are to fly around Berk three times and meet up back here, and pushing shoving, and minor injuring is allowed. The Gronkle in-front of us will give the signal at random and" the Gronkle behind me burped casting out the signal and the others shot ahead. I sighed before quickly running over to Toothless, and we shot after them. A minute later we were halfway into the first lap and I passed Astrid. 

We went around for another lap and a half and it was the final lap and we had lapped the others once. Then she turned towards me. 

"Do you think that Stealthwave will fly again!" she yelled over the wind and me and Toothless slowed to be level with her, about halfway through already. 

"I don't know, maybe but it depends on if his state actually works on healing him" I said 

"Okay. Nice talking" she said suddenly and shot ahead and landed, winning the game, and we landed just after her. 

"Oh come on Astrid that wasn't fair, you used something that I cared about to win, cheater" I huffed playing around looking away and so did Toothless, mimicking my movements. 

"Well I had to do something to win" she said coming up to me and pecking me on the cheek before running off waving "I'm going to go and train, bye" 

I went over to Toothless who was being bothered by Stormfly, and he did his weird blabbing thing before grinning, and she flew off. Toothless tackled me licking me and I tried to push him off. 

"Come on bud, how many times to I have to tell you to stop licking--oof" I said before he pinned me with his head and then we went back, checked on Stealthwave, and went to bed due it becoming dark out. Three days later I was in the middle of checking on Stealthwave, and I saw that the ice was thinning and it was almost gone. Then the scout came in out of breath.
