Sunrise To Arcaniss, Hicstrid Talk, Shifter Visit, Change Realize Confortation

Sunrise
   Woken up by his transformation to normal, he walked outside and climbed up the cove to see the sun rise. He put his chin in his hands and thought about what had transpired over the last few days while waiting for the others to wake up. A few minutes later, Astrid climbed up and sat next to him on the boulder.

"What are you thinking about Hiccup?" "Life, mine and the dragons future. Astrid, if Fishlegs isn't able to help me, what am I going to do? I cant exactly live a normal life with this curse." "I don't know. But, if anyone can find a way, its you." "Thanks, Astrid." "Your welcome, now lets watch that sunrise."

They watched the sunrise until the dragons flew up from the cove. "Time to go I take it?" Hiccup asks. Yep. I think we may have have ruined a moment. Oh...oops. Hiccup sighs. "Ready to go?" Astrid asks. "Yeah. To Fishlegs's house we go."

To FIshlegs's House They Go
"Over the river and through the woods to the Fishlegs' house we go. La la la." They sang as they crossed the river and walked through the woods.

   "Wait, why are we all singing? And why aren't we flying?" Astrid asks with a confused and surprised and embarrassed face "Um...I have absolutely no idea." Hiccup responded. They then stopped the singing and flew the rest of the way to the house of the Fishlegs. I liked the singing. .Sigh.

   When they arrived at his house, it was midday. Astrid knocked on the door and Fishlegs opened it. He yelped and backed away as he saw four sets of eyes looking at him very seriously.

   "Relax Fishlegs, it's just Astrid, me, and our dragons." Hiccup said. "Oh ok. I thought you were the twins." "Why?" "No reason." "Well then. Fishlegs, I think I may have been cursed and I need your help."

"Cursed?" "Yeah. I become a nightfury at sunset. Can you help with your dragon knowledge?" "Cursed? Yes! I knew that magic existed!" Fishlegs yells excitedly. Group facepalm.

Arcaniss
"Wait what?! Fishlegs this is serious, Hiccup's life has been changed forever and a blink of an eye and all you can think about is the existence of magic!?" Astrid demands as she charges at Fishlegs with her axe.

Stormfly jumps between them causing Astrid to stop. "Sorry, sorry, I'm just so excited! Magic exists!" Fishlegs pleads for his life. "Toothless, could you calm him down?" Requests Hiccup. Toothless wacks Fishlegs on the head with his tail (Gibbs style).

After a wack on the head, the over excited Fishlegs turned into an excited Fishlegs. With a second wack, Fishlegs turned into a talk-to-able excited Fishlegs.

"So Fishlegs, based on your excitedness, I'm guessing that the book of dragons says something about curses. Right?" Hiccup asks. "Yep. There's this species of dragon that is rumored to be able to use magic. Not much is known about this dragon except that it can cast curses. There is also an unproven rumor that it can shape-shift. It's called an Arcaniss."

"Is there any information on how to reverse curses?" "Let me check. No, sorry. I don't know much about the Arcaniss but maybe Gothi knows something." "Thanks Fishlegs" They then left.

"It's going to be sunset soon, we should head back to the cove." Astrid recommends. "You're right, lets go." And so they climbed on their dragons and left for the cove. When they got there they went into the cave and fell asleep.

A Hicstrid Moment
Hiccup's inner thoughts: Shifting forms hurts, a lot. That is why when I shift back to human at dawn, I wake up. It's a very awakening experience...That was a bad pun.

   As Hiccup arouse he was surprised to see that Astrid was awake and sharpening her axe by the exit of the cave. He walked over to her and sat next to her. She turned around and looks at him. "So, you were cursed by a dragon it seems." She said. "Apparently."
