Chapter 15
Toothless was excited for the opportunity to fly again; trying to fasten the harness on him, while he was this excited, was a difficult task. There was no calming the Night Fury down when he got like this, so it took Hiccup longer than it should have. “Okay, we’re ready to go. I supposed now is as good of a time as any to test out my new leg.”
Astrid took her place by Toothless’ neck, stroking him to keep him still for Hiccup’s first attempt to climb onto the saddle with his new prosthesis. The Night Fury lowered himself giving Hiccup the chance to get on his back.
Hiccup put his makeshift foot into the stirrup’s tread clamp; the spring loaded coils in his foot pressed down as he put all of his body’s weight on it in the process of climbing. It was successful in handling the weight. The coils gave his left leg additional strength to make getting up on the saddle easier than ever before. As his weight came off his prosthesis, it locked into the clamp.
After positioning himself comfortably on the saddle, he tested his new leg once more to see how it handles controlling Toothless’s artificial tail-fin. Carefully, he pushed his knee down to causes the tail-fin to expand. His foot remained locked into the clamp without any problems. He pulled up his knee, and the tail-fin collapsed and his foot yet again remained locked into the stirrup.
The final test was to see how easy it was to unlock his prosthesis from the latch. He put weight on the prosthesis until the coils were pressed down, and with a soft metallic CLICK he could slide his foot out of the stirrup. Sliding it back in, he put pressure down on the coils again and it relocked perfectly.
Astrid smiled up at Hiccup. “I’d call that a successful test.”
“So would I.” Hiccup offered his hand down to her.
She grabbed his hand and accepted his help up onto the saddle, sitting behind him. Hiccup could feel her arms wrap around his waist. He could almost feel the enthusiasm and anticipation radiating from her. It’s been awhile since the last time they flew together. There was a serious task to be done, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t have fun doing it. An aerial view of the island was a relaxing adventure; an adventure that both of them could use right about now.
“Okay Toothless, we’re ready to —”
Hiccup looked around to notice a large crowd of Vikings gathering around them. The news got around the village that Hiccup and Toothless were going to fly around the island, and they were all anxious to see them take flight. The children, in particular, were the most excited to see the Night Fury in flight with their own eyes. After hearing all the stories of the adventures of Hiccup and his Night Fury, this was their first time that they were going to see one in person.
Astrid put a hand on his shoulder. “You’re a hero to these people.”
Hiccup looked out at the children that had gathered around. He could see the anticipation in their eyes, waiting to see their legendary hero take to the sky on his dragon. “I know, and it feels very weird.”
Toothless let out an impatient grumble; he was ready to fly, and could not understand what the delay was about. Sensing his restlessness, Hiccup decided not to keep him waiting. “Let’s go Toothless.”
Toothless grinned as he extended his wings. Hiccup did his part and extended Toothless’ left tail-fin. With everything set, the dragon leapt off the ground. The on-looking Vikings cheered as the Night Fury cut through the sky with great agility and swiftness. They had seen many dragons fly, but the way a Night Fury flew was more beautiful to behold. Of all the flying dragons, they ruled the sky like no other. Very few Vikings ever got the opportunity to behold one of these rare creatures; and that was why they cheered with great exuberance.
It did not take Toothless very long to reach above all the trees of the island. Before long, they were flying through the white, billowy clouds. “Aw man, I can’t tell you how much more I can do now with these new improvements!”
Astrid smiled, happy to see Hiccup back to his old self again. She had no idea of the nightmares he’s been having been still plaguing him, but right now, he was like a new man. “Then, how about you show me?”
“How about it, Toothless; feel like indulging a little?”
The Night Fury was more than willing to display some fancy maneuvering. Astrid held onto Hiccup tightly as Toothless nose dived towards the tree tops. The sharpness of the wind stung their faces as the tree tops grew larger. Enjoying the sensation of the wind in his face, Toothless inadvertently stuck out his tongue which whipped around in the wind.
“Let’s give the upward spiral a whirl,” Hiccup said, tapping Toothless’ neck.
This was a move that proved quite challenging. The hardest part of it was the very beginning; to start this move, Toothless had to expand his wings just enough to slowly break out of the nose dive, while Hiccup had a rapid session of expanding and retracting the tail-fin. Up until now, doing that was very awkward and painful; with the new coil spring system he installed, the strain on his leg, as he did this exercise, should be greatly diminished.
Toothless understood what they were going to do, and was willing to give it a try. He remembered their other attempts to do this trick... they all ended in failure. The point that always caused the failure was when the break out of the nose dove, and immediately trying to jump into the first spiral upward. Every time they tried, either Toothless successful made the spiral but failed at angling himself to re-ascend, or he ascended upward and failed in doing a perfect spiral. He was just as determined as Hiccup to get this maneuver perfected.
“This is it, Toothless; we’re gonna get it this time! Now!”
Toothless spread his wings half-way and their free fall began to level out. Hiccup lightened up on the tread petal slightly until they were near level, and then pressed down hard, expanding the left tail-fin completely. Toothless unraveled his wings the rest of the way and immediately leaned left to begin the spiral. As Hiccup again lightened up on the tread, Toothless flapped as hard as he could to ascend as he began his spiral.
This was the moment this whole maneuver would either succeed or fail. Again, Toothless did everything perfectly, and for the first time, his leg was not failing him. As the Night Fury Began to ascend, the dragon put all of his weight to his left, causing him to fly sideways. As that moment, Hiccup once more pushed down on the tread petal and fully expanding the artificial tail-fin. Toothless curved around and succeeded in starting a spiral that ascended back up into the sky. They flew four complete spirals before reaching the clouds where they had started; they had successfully pulled off the upward spiral maneuver.
Hiccup raised his hands in triumph as they leveled out and flew on a straight course. “Yeah!”
“You did it!” Astrid rewarded Hiccup for his accomplishment with a kiss on the cheek.
His face began to glow, but before he could relish it, Toothless went into a celebration mode of his own. He spat out a puff of blue flames. “Toothless… wait!”
Toothless swerved at the last second, narrowly missing the mist of flames. Hiccup and Astrid bowed their heads to avoid being seared. “Ow! Hot!” Astrid complained.
Toothless repeated the game and spat another puff of flames. Like before he dodged the flames at the very last second. “Toothless, it’s too dangerous to play Dodge with TWO of us up here!”
Dodge was a game that Toothless introduced to Hiccup on their very first successful flight. Not only did the Night Fury find it thrilling to play, but Hiccup believed that it also helped him keep is instincts sharp, not to mention that he liked the feeling of the flame’s heat spraying in his face. Hiccup wished he had known about this on their first flight; his hair had gotten fairly singed and his face was slightly burned. Since that first time, they played Dodge quite often, and Hiccup had learned how to avoid getting burned.
When Toothless realized the situation, he switched to another form of celebration. He swooped towards the tree tops, spinning rapidly. The two Vikings held on tightly, clenching their eyes to keep the spinning world from getting them dizzy. Hiccup was worried about Astrid who was not fastened down into the saddle as he was. Neither had she ever done anything like this on a dragon before; he had no idea how she would handle this maneuver.
His concern was unwarranted, as she was laughing while holding onto him for her dear laugh. She was not one to shy away from danger; she ran to it with a shield in one hand and an ax in the other. As nerve wracking as it was, Astrid enjoyed every moment of it.
Toothless ceased his spinning and went to gliding just out of the reach of the trees; the branches tickled his stomach as he sliced through the air. With the rough riding now at an end, she lightened up on her hold of Hiccup and enjoyed the view. Four basic brown dragons pierced through the tree tops and soared through the sky. None of the dragons paid them any attention as they flew past them to their unknown destination.
“We should’ve caught Stormfly’s attention by now. For a gold dragon, she’s pretty hard to find.”
Hiccup was thinking the same thing. The chances of finding Stormfly up from the sky were minimal; the tree tops were too thick to see through, making it way too easy for the Mood Dragon to hide. She seemed content to merely watch them up in the sky from her hiding spot down below. “Perhaps it’d be better if we get the gang together and search the forest by foot.”
“Agreed,” Astrid replied. “But on the way back, let’s check out the volcano.”
“Sounds fun.”
Informing Toothless of the change of plans, they made their way towards the top of the mountain. The giant mountain towered over the rest of the island like a sleeping giant. As they got closer, the more intimidating it became. This volcano had a very dark presence to it, and Hiccup began to question if they should stay away from it. The smell of ash, acid, and smoke that emanated from its mouth served as a secondary warning. The third warning came from Toothless, who appeared to be apprehensive about the volcano.
“Strange, Toothless doesn’t want to fly over the Volcano.”
Astrid pinched her nose. “Who can blame him; I feel like my lungs are burning.”
Hiccup felt the same with his lungs. Something was seriously wrong, and he had to know what it was. He rubbed the Night Fury’s scaly neck. “Come on Toothless; just allow us a quick look down.”
Reluctantly, the dragon agreed, and cautiously flew over the mouth of the volcano. What they were expecting to see, was dried-out, lava rock inside the volcano; that would have been a sign that it was dormant. Instead, what they found, was much more unsettling. The Volcano was filled with red-hot, flowing magma. “Uh, this mountain doesn’t look all that dormant,” Astrid said with a horrific look on her face.
Hiccup was astonished at what he was seeing. It all explained the foul order that was coming from the mountain. “You’re right, this mountain’s active. This thing is gonna erupt, and soon.”
“We’ve to get back to the village and warn everyone! We’ve got to begin evacuating the village.”
“Back to the Village, Toothless,” Hiccup said to his dragon. Happy to get away from raunchy smell of the volcano, the Night Fury took off quickly for the village.
After the Night Fury departed, a pair of bone-like horns peered out of the flaming-hot magma. From within the magma, and unsettling growl echoed. The horns swam through the lava, as if inspecting what was happening outside the volcano, and once their curiosity was quenched, the renumbered.
