Chapter 6 - Recovery On the Edge

Ernesti Pov

I proceeded to sit down next to Hiccup, I was worried about Fafnir and Hiccup must've seen my troubled face as he then said "Don't Worry Fafnir is fine he's resting in the hangar we've left plenty of minerals for him and a bucket of Magma so he'll be fine" I thanked Hiccup and we all sat around the fire pit. Stoick began saying "So Ernesti How's life on the edge, I know you haven't lived here long yet" I then replied "we'll it's peaceful and it's nice seeing other people it makes me happy as my family was slaughtered right in front of me" my hands began trembling and Hiccup placed his hand over mine saying "don't worry you don't have to say anything about that just live now and try to move on and we'll make the hunters pay" as I calmed down I began eating a fish which Stoick had handed me.

Half an hour later

A big green and red dragon came through the hut's door and laid next to Stoick, Stoick then began feeding the dragon some of his fish and began saying "Oh there you are Skullcrusher" as things calmed down everyone went to sleep except me and Hiccup

I asked Hiccup "could you drop me off at the Hangar I want to check on Fafnir" Hiccup nodded and we both got on Toothless and flew towards the hangar, it was a full moon the clouds were a glistening white and stars all over could be seen as we rode, Hiccup asked " will you need any coverings as I'm assuming you'll sleep there oh and tomorrow we're gonna explore a new island, I've left a map as to where we are going at my hut, we'll be gone around half the day so use that time to recover and if we don't return please come don't worry it'll probably be Snotlout making us slow " I laughed and said "No problem ill be fine I've got Fafnir but Hiccup but thanks for dropping me off". As we arrived I gave Hiccup a nod and he flew back towards his hut, as he flew out of sight in the pitch black night I opened the hangar doors so I could squeeze in, I then began walking towards the outline of Fafnir who was wagging his tail at the scent of me, he then began walking towards me and embraced me in his wings as he then laid back Down and I was under his warm wings and enveloped by his red underbelly and Green wings. I then began getting myself comfortable and so did he when we did we fell fast asleep on each other like we always did.

I decided to take a midnight flight and as I passed the hangar I then landed with Stormfly quietly as we saw the hangar door opened, I peered inside and saw Fafnir wrapped around Ernesti as I saw his figure through Fafnir wings and I heard them both snoring loudly, I smiled and closed the door and flew towards my hut thinking Hiccup and Ernesti have alot in common especially Fafnir and Toothless despite their size.

The next day Daybreak

Ernesti Pov

I awoke incredibly warm and refreshed so I snuck out of Fafnir's wing and opened the hangar doors fully so the sunrise could be seen I sat on the overhang outside the hangar and watched the sunrise, it was a beautiful crimson and pink clouds ahead with the sound of crashing of pink waves along the beach below. I then relaxed and let the wind play with my hair and I took long slow breaths to capture the essence of the sun. My thoughts were broken as large clanging was heard behind me and I turned to see Fafnir with his red glistening tongue out I then began talking to him "Nice to see your OK, come sit" I pointed to a space where he could lay and watch the sunrise with me, he then sat and began yawning as he scuffled his body around me giving me a place to lay my head as we watched the sunrise. I laid my head on his scales and he began to internally heat himself up for me and I began rubbing his golden crested head slowly in a direction which made his harder scales go up so I could feel his much softer and warmer scales underneath. Fafnir began moving comfortably as he enjoyed his little pamper I smiled and carried on watching the sunrise with him until we both drifted of into another relaxing sleep.

3 hours later

We both awoke from our nap and we decided to go for a nice easy flight, Fafnir lifted me up onto his back and we set of to do a lap around the island, as we flew we saw many terrible terrors flying around and some deadly nadders on the ground playing, as we finished our lap of the island we landed back at our half finished house and we decided to finish it, as I got of I then said to Fafnir "you know what to do" as he understood he went off flying towards the forest below, I then began building many things out of the wood we collected the day before yesterday, I made a door and a large hangar one and some steps and pillars, I began placing them in my frame of a house which was triangular based I began putting on the second floor after I'd installed my stairs, and after around 4 hours Fafnir returned with logs in his talons and more melted stone which he began spewing over the path to give it a good smooth feel. As I finished the second floor Fafnir built a large stone platform on top about the size of himself and made it quite wide so it pretty much covered the whole floor besides a bit of it which is where The stairs were, we finished putting up the framework for the second floor and placed a large ramp underneath as a stair for Fafnir so he could come up I then made Fafnir construct a spiral shaped roof and we decided it was finished so we now decided to sit on the large stone bed and look out into the ocean, after we looked at the mesmerising sea for a while we decided to fly around the island a little more and enjoy the sights.
