Kapitel 31: chapter 10
In the time Hiccup was gone, disaster struck on the Isle of Berk. His theory of Meatlug's eggs being in that barn was correct, and all of them had hatched in the huts of the Vikings.
Astrid had thought it would be a good idea to wrap bows around the eggs and place one in everyone's hut as a new Snoggletog tradition, but when the eggs hatched the huts got damaged from the explosions.
As people were running around trying to put out the fires and gather the Gronckle hatchlings, Stoick looked over the damage sadly.
He sighed as Gobber came up to him.
"Ah, Gobber, this is a disaster."
"Ah, it's not so bad." Gobber tried to reason, but it was obvious that Snoggletog was in shambles this year.
"Oh, not that bad? The village is destroyed. The dragons are still in mating season and won't return for a few more days. Let's face it–this holiday is a complete– What are those people looking at?" Stoick asked as he stopped himself mid-sentence and looked at some Vikings that were focused on the sky.
Stoick took a closer look at what they were all looking at and noticed that there were shimmering figures in the sky.
"What is that?" He asked.
As the figures came closer to the island, it was revealed to be Hiccup and all the dragons with the figurehead boat filled with hatchlings. Everyone's eyes widened when they realized what was going on.
"It's Hiccup!" Stoick shouted.
"And our dragons!" Astrid added as she spotted Stormfly in the flock that was following the boat.
The Vikings cheered in joy as the boat was placed in the plaza and all the dragons landed. When the boat tipped over, all the hatchlings spilled out with it. Everyone ran to their dragons and the hatchlings as Hiccup hopped down from Hookfang and backed away from the crowd.
"Yeah! Whoo-hoo!" Snotlout shouted as he ran towards Hookfang joyously.
Fishlegs spotted Meatlug and smiled.
"MEATLUG!" He yelled out as he ran to her and encased her in a hug.
Astrid ran to Stormfly with a huge smile on her face.
"Stormfly! You're back! And look at the cute little ones!" She said happily as she crouched down to look at Stormfly's hatchlings.
"Hahaha! Well done, Hiccup!" Stoick said as he clamped a hand onto the boy's shoulder.
"Thank you chief. Wasn't planning on this, but the dragons were eager to come back." Hiccup replied as he looked around the plaza a bit down in the dumps, but it went unnoticed.
"Everyone! Grab your dragons! To the Great Hall! We finally have something to celebrate!" Stoick bellowed and everyone cheered.
~~~HTLANF~~~
It was a full-blown celebration as soon as everyone entered the Great Hall. People were singing songs, spending time with their dragons and loved ones, and some were even getting drunk off the mead.
Hiccup stayed out of the way in a corner as he watched everyone mingle.
'If only Kala were here to see this..' He thought sadly, feeling very left out.
Snotlout made his way over to his little cousin with Hookfang when he noticed how down he was. He patted him on the shoulder and leaned against the wall they were next to.
"You okay cuz?" He asked and got a shake of the head as an answer. "I know it must be hard seeing everyone with their dragons man, but you did an awesome thing. So, thanks."
Hiccup smiled a bit and nodded, but the smile instantly vanished.
"Snotlout..where do you think she went..?" Hiccup asked as he looked at the floor.
"Not a clue." He said.
Hiccup sighed and kicked his right leg out of boredom. Snotlout looked around the hall and smirked when he saw Kala enter in human form with something hidden behind her back.
"Wow, man, I wouldn't wanna be you right now! I mean you brought back everyone's dragon except yours!" Snotlout continued, trying to pry his cousin into looking where he was.
"Yeah, you know, this is not helping, at all." Hiccup said glaring at his cousin.
Snotlout rolled his eyes and a small smirk as he grabbed Hiccup's shoulders and turned him in the direction Kala was coming from. Hiccup's eyes widened when he spotted her.
"KALA!" He shouted as he sprinted the best he could towards her.
Kala smiled and met him halfway and they kissed each other passionately. Kala kept her hand behind her back though.
The Vikings saw this and cheered. Gobber noticed and nudged Stoick.
"Stoick look!" He said with joy in his voice.
Stoick looked over at the two teens kissing and smiled.
"Well would ya look at that."
'Not what I envisioned for him, but he seems happy. Can't say I'm too happy about it myself. Though, I can't do anything about it. Hiccup still resents me from being disowned. I cannot afford to lose any more of his trust.' The chief thought as he looked away from the couple.
Hiccup and Kala pulled away from one another and rested their foreheads together panting softly. They locked eyes and smiled at one another.
"Welcome home milady.~" Hiccup said with lovestruck eyes.
"Glad to be home.~"
"Don't ever leave that long again. Please." Hiccup pleaded and Kala giggled.
"No promises my love.~" she said playfully then she set the item that was behind her back on his head. "Happy Snoggletog."
Hiccup's eyes widened and he felt what was on his head. It was his helmet. He smiled brightly and hugged her as tight as he could.
"Happy Snoggletog milady."
~~~HTLANF~~~
The next morning I awoke to Kala jumping on the roof. I smiled as I got up.
"I'm coming, Kala!" I shouted as I got dressed.
Once my prosthetic was on, I made my way outside.
"Alright milady, come on down. I was just–" I cut myself off when I saw her on the ground with her flight gear in the snow.
Kala pawed her saddle towards me and I smiled.
"I'm guessing you only want the automatic one for mating season?" I asked as I picked the saddle up.
Kala purred and nodded with a smile on her maw. I got the saddle on her and took the automatic tailfin off her tail and replaced it with the manual one once the snow was off it. Kala nudged me towards her back and I obliged and secured myself onto the saddle, then I opened her tailfin and we took off for our morning flight.
~~~HTLANF~~~
Winter in Berk lasts most of the year. It hangs on with both hands and won't let go. And the only comforts against the cold are those you keep close to your heart.
"Okay love, you ready?" Hiccup asked me as we flew.
I nodded with a determined look on my face and Hiccup unhooked his prosthetic and somersaulted off my back as we both flipped into a freefall.
"Yee-haw!" He shouted in joy.
I laughed and tapped him, spinning him in the air as we fell.
Turns out, that was the best Snoggletog ever. Especially for it being my first one. That year, Hiccup gave me a pretty great gift.
Hiccup hooked back onto me and we sped past one of the mountains on the island, making snow fall off it as we passed.
"Whoo-hoo!" Hiccup yelled happily.
I purred and sped up, going past trees and other mountains.
But I gave him a better one!
~~~HTLANF~~~
