Chapter 14B
Viggor was up at sunrise, and immediately began working on the prosthesis for Hiccup. Unfortunately, Gobber was already inside the shop working on his own invention. That was when the competition began. The two of them worked on opposite ends of the shop. On a few occasions, they reached out for the same tool, which resulted in the two Vikings butting heads and sharing insults. After a couple of hours of non-stop labor, they bothended up finishing at the same time. “This should do it. I think Hiccup‘ll like the improvements I’ve made here,” Gobber said out loud, inspecting his completed invention. “That thing? No Viking would be caught dead using that piece of junk,” Viggor mocked. “Now mine, on the other hand, is a piece of art! Hiccup will be able to do things he’s not been able to do in a long time.” Viggor held up his prosthesis in triumph. It was impossible to describe; it was a jumble of wood, steel, and coils that did not even come close to looking like a foot. “That is a sad piece of... I don’t know what to call that thing. The one thing I know about Hiccup is that he lives by one motto: keep it simple, stupid!” Before Viggor had the chance to rebut, the door to the back room of the shop swung open. Hiccup walked out of the room, and was startled to see both of them in the shop. “Oh, wow, It’s that late already?” “Hiccup?” “I hope you two don’t mind, but I went ahead and built my own leg.” Hiccup showed off his new prosthetic leg. “It’s just like the old one, but I added some of my own modifications. I made it spring loaded so I can jump and even dismount from the saddle much easier.” Hiccup demonstrated its capabilities by taking a few steps forward. The steel latch slid up when he put his weight on it, and then slid down once his weight was off it. There was no mistaking the improvement in his walking pattern. That slight limp in his walk was virtually gone. After taking a few steps, he stopped and bent his knees. He jumped two times and landed perfectly each time. It had been a long time since he was able to do that without stumbling. “Well, I think I’m gonna go have some breakfast. See ya!” Hiccup exited the shop, leaving the two stunned Vikings with their creations in their hands. Hiccup’s stomach growled impatiently as he walked through the village. After hours working on this new prosthesis, he was beginning to fear that he possibly missed out on breakfast. He had been so engrossed in his work, that he had no idea how late it was getting. “There you are! I’ve been looking—” Astrid ran up to him, but stopped when she noticed his new prosthetic leg. “Did you make that?” He felt good that she took instant notice to his handy work. “Why, yes I did,” he replied proudly. “And I made some big modifications to it. I added a spring to it, to give me more agility. I can now run and jump without tripping or stumbling, and I can dismount from Toothless’ back much easier.” “That’s amazing!” Astrid replied. “You never cease to amaze me!” “I see you have your new leg now, excellent!” Alvin said, approaching the two Vikings. He was starting to get into an annoying habit of interrupting their conversations, almost as if he deemed his matters more important. Hiccup did not want to carry any unnecessary grudge towards the Viking chief, but the way he came out of nowhere and interrupted his conversations with his friends was starting to get on his nerves just a bit. “Yeah, I woke up early and couldn’t fall back to asleep, so I decided to build my own prosthesis.” “You possess some great skills, there’s no denying that,” he replied. “Anyway, seeing that you are now free to ride your dragon again, I was hoping you would help find StormFly and try to convince her to return to the village. This tantrum has gone on long enough, and it’s time that she came back home.” “I don’t see why not. Toothless, Astrid, and I will start looking first thing after breakfast.” “Great to hear, son!” Alvin slapped him across the back and walked away.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
