Bab 6: Gronkle Island
AN lol just said I'd be back tonight but just thinking about writing later made me want to now also MC and Velkhana/ Bifrost in chap comments
My journey took around a week of flying while stopping to rest along the way it was an interesting journey though I've seen a few dragons I've never heard of before like one that covered itself in bones and another that had 3 tails with stingers on the end. Alas my travels came to an end when I landed at my destination, it was a beautiful island in its own way. Dark Deep is the ancestral home of the Gronkles but is home to a few more species including the bone dragon from earlier.
Roaming the island I quickly realise it has one troublesome species however, the Whispering death. Bifrost freezes them fairly easily since they're blind and won't really dodge with not being able to see the attacks and all but in my first hour of being here I've had to fight two and one of them snuck up on us causing me to fall and hurt my arm. I cant move it right now so I only hope it'll heal quickly. It was dark when I arrived so I decide to find a nice place to set camp for the night. I ended up settling on a small cove surrounded by rocks on 3 sides and the ocean on the other. It's not perfect but hopefully it'll keep me out of sight.
The next morning didn't start well I was woken by a roar. Getting up I saw a dragon up on the rocks above us before it started to curl up and roll down the hill towards me at alarming speeds. I quickly hop onto Bi frost and get him to blast at the dragon forming a pillar of ice in between us. I assumed the dragon would go around but it simply broke through it slamming into me and my dragon with its tail. It sent me off and into a small crevice along the walls surrounding my camp. I could tell it got hit by the tail too just not as bad as imagine Bifrost did. My bones ached and my good arm was bleeding for a multitude of cuts. The most concerning was my side which was now a deep purple color beneath my armor. I had to find Bifrost but I couldn't find it in me to yell for him never mind get up and look
Hiccup POV
We got to Dark Deep around midday thanks to Fishlegs discovery regarding the Dragon Eye but something was wrong. Their weren't any Gronkles in sight and their were these giant stretches of ice that reached for the skies. Whatevers going on I'm gonna get to the bottom of it.
Eivor POV
I wake up against the cold rock, my body still screaming in protest to any attempt to get up but my speech is back at least albeit still strained and quiet. My good arm is at least back up and running so I start carving a message into the wall in case this is it. I can tell I'm not gonna be moving around anytime soon which gives me great concern. Bifrost can't bring me food and I cant get it myself. Which is a problem but it's small compared to the issue of water, knowing I have around 3 days tops I need a solution fast. The situation feels dire but I'll figure something out, I have to...
Fishlegs POV
I came back to Dark Deep for a second time, this time with Snotlout. I was here to fight the Quaken. Once I saw it this time I noticed something different though, it left side was drenched in blood. I started flying away when it chased me but as we passed some rock formations I heard a loud crash behind me. Turning around I saw Eivors dragon Bifrost pinning down the Quaken only to breath ice onto its side. The Quaken howled in pain before shaking off the ice drake and slamming a tail into its side sending it skidding along the rocks.
It flew towards Bifrost before Hiccup and the others blasted it drawing its attention away from the wounded dragon and to themselves. A battle between the dragon riders soon took place leading me to find myself alone with Meatlug in the Quakens nest. Me and Meatlug tried to run away but the Quaken cornered us at the entrance. Hiccup told me to run but to where?! All I could do was close my eyes and stand my ground. I waited for the dragons attacked but it never came, I heard a thud and gasps from the group. Opening my eyes I saw Bifrost on top of the Quaken once again but the wild dragon was frozen solid, cold wisp of air dragging off its body to dissipate in the wind.
Eivor POV
I hadn't heard the sound of battle raging somewhere on the island for a little bit now, I can only assume it's the dragon that attacked me before. I hope it isn't Bifrost or if it is I hope he's won. Originally I had been worried about water but I realized I wouldn't make it long enough to dehydrate anyway. My arm was bleeding profusely and it wasn't stopping soon. I could feel my vision getting dimmer as darkness creeped ever closer from the corner of my eyes. I took one last look at my message 'Eivor of the Raven Clan, I died fighting a dragon, with sword in hand and a smile on my face I await the Valkyries'. I give one big grin and a hardy laugh before I feel everything go dark and I fall into the black embrace.
Astrid POV
Eivor was somewhere nearby, his dragon was on the island and lead us here to a small clearing surrounded by walls of stone. I could tell he made camp here but he was nowhere in sight, the camp was ruined with tread marks from the Quaken littering the place and ice seeming everywhere. The dragon who Fishlegs told me was Bifrost was to the side being helped by Fishlegs and Hiccup. He had lots of injuries but nothing to serious. I could only hope Eivor wasn't worse off.
We looked for a while with nothing to show until we heard a sound. I faint laugh echoing from the sides of the wall, running over I found it a small entrance just a bit larger then Fishlegs, it was hidden in the shadows of the cliff. Running to the entrance and peering in I saw him, Eivor. He was sitting there with his mask covering his face.
I noticed his arm was bruised and bent at an awkward angle, I assumed it was broken which is easily fixable with time. My biggest concern was the fact he wasn't moving when I called him. Calling the others over I climb in with Snotlout and move closer to Eivor. I'm right in front of him when I move to his right side deeper in the cave while Snotlout gets ready to grab the other. I bent down but I stopped when I grabbed his arm and my breath hitched, I couldn't in the dark but his whole right side is wet with blood. We lift him and out to Fishlegs who was waiting with bandages for us. I lay Eivor on the ground and Fishlegs hands me the bandages as I start wrapping his wounds.
1 day later
A day had passed and Eivor is still asleep but I know he's still alive at least. The other riders had gone to Berk but I waited here someone had to keep on eye on the wounded viking. I did however decide to leave for a bit to fly my dragon, Stormfly had been bugging me for hours. Going out for a bit should be fine anyway but I'll lock the doors just in case.
Eivar POV
My eyes slowly flicker open, I'm in some room I've never seen before. "Kinda lame for Valhalla" I say to nobody in particular. I notice the windows have metal bars on the outside. It doesn't look bad it has a design it follows rather than straight like a prison cell. Even if it looks nice it still concerned me regardless. I walk around the room eyeing the different weapons and shields that decorated the walls. It certainly feels viking at least. I look around to find my leather armor but its without success, I guess topless is todays esthetic.
I walk to the door and attempt to walk out only to find it locked, I can see I'd need a key to open the thing without using force I doubt I can muster with my injuries. I start to back up to make an attempt when I hear wingbeats. A dragon? Not knowing whether its friend or foe I grab an axe of the wall before hiding beside the door. After a moment the wingbeats changed to footsteps that moved ever closer, that was until I heard a knock on the door.
"Astrid? Are you in there?" came the all too familiar voice of Hiccup, I hadn't seen him since I helped him fight the Snow dragons on that island a few weeks ago. I cant open the door unless I break it down which is possible with the axe but I dont think Hiccup would like it. I resign myself to wait for someone to open the door but before that I hear a second set of feet approach.
"I'm right here Hiccup, what's up?" her voice sounded a bit different since the last time I heard it but I could tell it was Astrid since I know Roughnut smell would have reached me had she been outside.
"Weird I could've sworn I head something inside..." Hiccup says illuding to me I imagine
I couldn't see what happened but I could hear the sound of the lock moving on the door. It swings open revealing me now standing in the middle of the room rather than beside the door. I make eye contact with Astrid, she looks well uh more grown up I'll say but I cant help but notice she looks a wee bit mad if he glare said anything...
