HTTYD : what if gruffnut was Thrown Overboard when he was eight?

Starting to Go back to berk..which takes awhile

I was with ruffnut and tuffnut. I knew that I was going to go back to Berk soon, I would have done so years ago if I knew where exactly I was but I didn't because I was unconscious when gilder found me and brought me to this island. I have traveled around but I didn't go too far because I was afraid I would get lost and couldn't find my dragon friends that I had on this island...so I just ended up staying here for some years but now that I've been found by my cousins and their friends, I can go back to Berk. I felt joyful for the first time since I was tossed over board when I was a kid. I'm going to be so happy to see my other relatives that I haven't seen in years. I wonder what they are like now? How much has changed since I've last been there? I'm not completely sure I'll fit in, it will take a while to get things back in order for my life, I wonder if my dragon friends will follow or stay here? I thought as I followed my cousins and their friends from on top of darksky. I hid a smile, I was finally going home and to the rest of my family.. I thought as we all headed in a certain direction. Hmm... I started thinking, I hope they didn't feel guilty about what happened years ago. It wasn't their fault after all, I was the one who saw and knew what I had to do to save my cousin. So I did what I had to even if it meant I had to die.

Though I was scared of dying but it would be worth it if my cousin lived because of that. Though I also wanted to live for them. So I did my best to live even though I had zero chances to live long enough for them to come back. I still managed to live though, which actually surprised me but also relieved me as well. That meant I could one day see my family again. Which I looked forward to until now, because that dream is going to become reality. I'm going to finally meet my other family again after so long. Which made me happy, but I wonder.. do they all still remember me? Little gruffnut... that's me.. do they remember or wanted to forget so they don't feel the pain? I thought before I decided to ignore that idea that popped in my head, I guess I'll just have to wait and see when I get there don't I? That's ok though it's going to take a few days to actually get to berk. I thought. Oh well.. I wonder what kind of island we will be stopping at for the night. I thought about it but I was unsure since there were quite a few different islands to stop at. After almost all day of flying, we finally stopped at an island, I scanned it, making sure there wasn't anything to dangerous to us or our dragons. I nodded, satisfied that I didn't spot anything dangerous, at least for now.

I settled down with my dragon, darksky, who curled up around me. I laid against her, I allowed myself to relax for the first time in a long while. I closed my eyes for a while before tuffnut asked a question. "So how did you manage to survive gruffnut?" He asked me and I opened my eyes. "Hm? I survived because of glider. She's a scauldron, she heard me sometime after I was thrown off and brought me to the island where I've lived ever since. I did want to go back home but I had no idea where I was at all, and the other islands nearby where exactly safe at all. Then I end up meeting all types of dragons afterwards. It was pretty interesting to meet all of them and not get hurt. Then a few years later and I meet darksky here." I said and they nodded, they understood how meeting a new dragon can be exciting, especially if they don't try to hurt you at all, even though most dragons he meet went new or different dragons that they had every seen before, it was still pretty exciting to befriend a dragon. To me, I'm glad I have dragon friends, they all helped me so much since I was a child and I'm extremely grateful for them being there, I don't think I would have survived otherwise. Now I've actually survived long enough that I meet my two favorite cousins again and I'll be meeting the rest of the family soon. I'm glad, I wasn't sure if I would ever meet my family again, it's been a long time since then and I don't doubt it at all that they all miss me and might blame themselves.

They might expect me to blame them but I don't. It wasn't any of their fault that happened to me, it was that guy who threw me overboard when I was a kid. To be fair he tried to attack my cousin, so I attacked him first before I got flung overboard and almost drowned to death until glider here saved my life. I'm excited and nervous to meeting the rest of the family for the first time in many years, tuffnut and Ruffnut I didn't really have to worry about them. Because when we were kids, it was like we were triplets instead of them being twins and me being their cousin. We were and still are that close to each other. That won't change even if I was dead or still alive and far apart. We are and always will be family and the best of friends. I smiled as I curled up next to darksky and fell asleep.

Oh god that took so long to update! Im so sorry it took so long! Now finished with 1009 words! Yay finally. I hope you like and comment what you think. I somewhat lost my inspiration on this which means it will take a lot longer to update since I have no idea what to do after the next chapter of this one. The next chapter gruffnut will be reunited with the rest of the family. Well until then.. ja ne~!
