Hmmm

Edited oct 21 2021

When I arrived back at Burk it was night, hiccup and toothless were waiting for me at my hill. When i landed I could see toothless calm down and he ran up to me in excitement nearly running into me in the process, hiccup was drawing with paper and a charcoal stick nearby and after toothless calmed down I lumbered over to him curious as to what he was drawing. The picture was hard to make out in the campfires light but It looked like the stars, I laid down near the two boys relaxing and listening to the doctor scratching of hiccups paper, he rested on toothless's side as I watched them.

That night was calm and quiet one of the last ones that we would get but at the time we didn't know that. That morning I woke up toothless curled into my side and hiccup gone, I waited for toothless to wake so I laid there a wing over him to shield him from the harsh sun while he slept. The day passed smoothly not too fast nor too slow, toothless did wake up eventually and as much as he grumbled about leaving my warmth he was hungry and I had already ate early in the morning so I had nothing for him currently. It was mid afternoon when I saw a few boats and some dragons flying closer, knowing that there was dragons with riders it eased my tension and concluded this was probably the peace mission returning that valka was talking about.

I  went back to watching the horision going deep into my thoughts, the wind softly blew through the village reaching me on the hill in the end. I was used to this and the smells of the people and dragons along with many fish and sheep but tonight was.......different. A scent something that I've remembered form long nights of nightmares and fear conforming and tears and happy ness. It smelled like my son, I raced down the hill as fast as I could searching through the village for anymore hints even the possibility that he would be alive, the caves were a dead end it's hard to distinguish the human smells under all the dragon ones. I had run through the village twice so far tasking as many different routes as I could getting small hints of the smell here and there.

I felt like I was going crazy the ruckus I made probably panicked some people because later hiccup came to find me as I desperately searched every building trying so pick up his scent enough most of the scent was old but there was traces of a new scent here and there that gave me enough hope to continue. Valka was with hiccup and they both tried to calm me down but I was frantic I had to find my son he's here I know he is I didn't realize that I could cry tears in my dragon form and valka and hiccup looked shocked to see that I was crying and frantic.

" hiccup, we have to get her away from the village she might hurt someone and it's getting late"

" I know, I don't know what gotten into her though she's crying, and she looks desperate mom. How are we supposed to get her away?"

I ignored them I had to find him he's here somewhere if I just try and find him... he must be alive I have to apologize i-i just have to find him he's my son! Through my frantic searching and crying I took another path through town trying to pick up his scent. As I turned a corner I saw hiccup and toothless waiting with valka,
'Elder, calm down, go back to your hill and rest your not in the right mind'

' child please I smell my kin he's here I thought he died please let me find him! I have to talk to him please! I'm desperate I smelled him earlier today I know he's in the village he- he has to be-'

' elder nobody new has come to the village, you are tired and lack of rest and grief have made you smell things of your past, please go back to your nest and rest'
