And we made our way up to 90 views! The story is really getting more views faster than I thought it would ever have. In the meantime I already heard that somebody didn't know what dragon's nest Lelouch has found, XD so it made me wonder if any of the other readers already knew what Lelouch's dealing with, well maybe there is a little hint of this chapter. :p

I really hope people like it, and remember, the more reviews, the faster I'll update! Also, my exams are nearly over! Yay!

Lelouch: So... Enjoy the story?

Erchu! Oh man, that sneeze felt good...

"Hiccup, wouldn't you rather... I don't know, go investigate the island itself, instead of digging through the books?" Astrid asked. "Wait, just... Look, in this book Gobber talked about..." Hiccup said, never looking away from the pages as Astrid rolled her eyes. Toothless saw this and wondered if she could see her brain when rolling them back so far.

"Okay, Okay, what is it?" Astrid gave in.

"If a dragon is grumpy, angry or furious, then there can be some signs, like scales falling of, or losing their armor-like protection, claws grow faster, (Toothless looks adorably at his claws), and there is a severe sign that can cause mouth-problems for the dragon in question. It is called a firecough, going from a level one to a level three depending on how grumpy, angry or furious the dragon is. It can be identified by a lava-like goo that drips from the dragon's mouth. It is very toxic to humans, and very contagious for other dragons.

There has been no known way to stop this, other than to let the dragon spit fire, and not just a tiny bit. The dragon's fire is hotter than the goo, instantly burning the virus in it's mouth. But this seems to be very hard to do, since the dragon's teeth can not lit it's gas easily." Hiccup finished.

As the book read further, all it said was,

'SO! Now all you have to do, is capture a dragon, make it grumpy, muzzle it and put it in the nest, and you've dealt with your dragon problem!'

"See, that must be what happened, a grumpy dragon came by and the lava-goop set it on fire!" Hiccup said meekly. His smile faltering ever so slightly as he met Astrid's eyes.
"Yeah, and if it was the outcasts? We'd better be safe than sorry..." she pouted. Toothless nudged Hiccup. She did have a point.

The young heir ran a hand through his hair, turning, as he was thinking. He glanced at Toothless, who blinked in response. He didn't want to put his buddy in any kind of danger, especially if it was danger that involved Alvin. He sighed and lowered his hand and put it on the black dragon's head, patting, before he turned around and nodded. "We'll make preparations, after that, we'll take some of the others with us," Hiccup finally said, as he turned around again, "We'll wait till it's dark, then we sneak out, without my dad noticing..." Hiccup enthusiastically continued, not hearing the "Um... Hiccup?" coming from Astrid, "Then we fly to outcast island, and see what Alvin's up to!" He said confident, with a smile. But it quickly faded as he saw Astrid face-palming while she bit her lip and shook her head.

"Well, son, wha's all this I hear 'bout outcasts? Is th're ay problem?" a booming voice behind him asked.
"Well, dad, you see... We found an island, this morning, that was on fire." Hiccup began explaining. "Gobber told us this book might've helped..." Hiccup was cut of a his father snatched it away. "You do knuw that this's just a chil's book, now don't yu, 'Iccup?" Stoick said, inspecting the book. "Wait, what? But what about the firecough-virus?" Hiccup asked almost hysterically.

"That? It was jus' a trick to keep childre' and morons 'way from dragons. But now that we have no need for it anymore," Stoick putted the book on the nearby table.
"Then there's no other way to explain it! It must've been the outcasts! Grrrr!" Astrid growled at having intruders. She was like.. like... like a dragon mom trying to protect her babies. In this situation it was her island she was trying to protect.
"Listen 'Iccup, you can go, but not t'day. There's a sto'm nearing, an' by the looks of what the elder has said, it might be one of the worst sto'ms we've seen."

"What about intruders?" Astrid asked, flinging her hands while asking the question. "If anyone is stupi' enough to row all the way here, they'll be blown 'way by the win'." Stoick said.
"Um, but dad, what if they hide in the tunnels the whispering deaths made?" Hiccup asked now. "They won't be able to, since we will hide there!" Stoick really had it all sorted out!

"Wait, if the village hides there... then... Is it that big a storm?" Astrid suddenly asked in shock. "Aj" Hiccup's dad replied, looking down. The three were suddenly startled, as the doors of the great hall 'whammed' open. "It has already begun...The win's blowin' up, it is going to be a sturmy night, yu go find the others, I'll mind the rest of the village," Stoick ordered to Hiccup. Then he went outside and closed the doors behind him.

"Hey, when we go, we can use those new saddles Gobber made! That blue one will really fit Stormfly," Astrid cheered, as she scratched the dragon's chin, who seemed to like it. "Yeah, and that black one for Toothless willbe more comfortable for the both us, the old one needs to be replaced," Hiccup responded. He wouldn't throw it away though, it was his first saddle after all.

Loki. Lelouch thought about it, the thought waddling around in his mind, as he patted dragon. Loki was a god. A Norse one for all that matter of facts. But why did the dragons think he was Loki? Sure they have noticed his immortalness, but constantly looking into his eyes, when only a few moments ago they didn't even dared to glance at him. Forget it, he wasn't good in reading animals, unlike humans animals were hard to read, and unpredictable.

Lelouch looked back at the task at hand, patting the dragon, instead of looking around at every single one of the dragons. He met the warm blue eyes of the dragon and dragon flinched a bit, probably because of his eyes. Talking about his eyes that he even have his contact lenses in?

Shroudcloud could not believe that Loki, their savior stood before him, even patting him! His purple eyes proved it! They were the same color as the dragons their fire! Purple ... though the red markings didn't match entirely, they looked unnatural, maybe it was to show normal humans who they were dealing with? He wasn't sure. Nootyflight's special color made the other dragons of the nest look down on her, judge her as a bad omen. The sleek dragon knew that he wouldn't stand a chance against some of the other dragons though. He was too inexperienced and too young to be able to be Loki's dragon.

He just thought it wasn't fair, Nootyflight had brought him all the way to the nest from who knows where, and Shroudcloud, he wouldn't even have the chance of flying him to somewhere. And he ha also tried to kill him! He had tried to kill their savior! But, it wasn't him who... it was Leader! He ordered Shroudcloud to do it!

The black dragon with the blue eyes moved his head to his shoulder, looking at Loki out of the corner of his eye. Loki himself cocked his head as he didn't undertand why the dragon suddenly didn't want to be patted anymore. Shroudcloud was about to look away, when his head quirked up at the most strangest sound he had ever heard! It was Loki's stomach, growling.

Leader let out a friendly roar to put the dragons to work; make a feast of fish, sheep, bison and other various things. Dragons flew up to go and gather everything. Some dragon mothers, younger and older dragons remained. Even Nootyflight had token of to somewhere.

Lelouch could now count the number of dragons that were in the cave, it was 10. He didn't see the dragon that brought him here, but the large dragon had remained at place, and the one who bit him didn't move a muscle. He looked up and wondered why almost all of them had left. He didn't like it one bit. He turned his head towards the toxic-eyed dragon, who now was laying dow as a cat, paws beneath it's chest, tail at it's side, before looking back to the dragon in front of him. It was about to take of if Lelouch hadn't raised his hands.

"H-hey! Where are you going?" Lelouch called out. The dragon seem to think about something, before it flapped its wings to stretch them, and lowered it's body to the ground. At first Lelouch didn't understand the gesture, until the dragon nudged it's head, as if to say, 'come on'. Slowly, Lelouch mounted the dragon. It was bigger than the other dragon who had literally dragged him over there, and it was only now that he actually noticed how uncomfortable it was, sitting on the back of such a beast. He needed something... like... like a saddle! That reminded him of Ashford academie's horse club. He had experience with riding horses but a dragon was a totally different level. For a moment he thought about the other people we had seen riding the other dragons. He slightly wondered if they used saddles.

But he could think of that later. He hadn't noticed that the big dragon had gotten up and snarled at the smaller blue eyed one.

"You better bring him back in time, and don't go near 'them'," He told Shroudcloud, who only nodded as to say he understood. He then began flapping his wings. He couldn't believe that Loki he was really coming with him! But it might've be only this time, so he better enjoyed this. He went through the tunnel, and delved into the water again, nearly forgetting that Loki might've wanned to know when to take his breath too.

Shroudcloud shot up from the water, his bat-like wings flapping open, taking them to the skies. It was now somewhere near noon, and the cold winter air filled his lungs like an explosion of freshness. Dogging several of the stone pillars that shot out from the ocean with a spin, he felt Loki shivering, and holding on tight. The cold wind against his skin could not break through the enthusiasm of being able to fly with his people's savior. But it seemed his excitement wasn't exactly shared.

"H-Hey!"

Shroudcloud turned his head at the young immortal, who squinted an eye. "S-Slow down will you?" he asked Shroudcloud, panicking a bit. The dragon only cracked up a... well, something that looked like a smile (think Toothles' first smile), before suddenly flapping his wings severely and gaining a lot of altitude.
"!" Shroudcloud heard Loki whimpering, then deciding they were up high enough, he opened his wings through their fullest extent and flew further on the wind.

"Sor-ry?"

Lelouch looked up. He didn't exactly expect the dragon to grumble an apology, but it wasn't like it spoke verbally. It also wasn't like someone was speaking into his mind, but it was more as if he just knew what the dragon wanned to make clear. He unconsciously placed a hand on the dragon's head.

Like an unspoken language, like... if your dog asks to go outside by sitting at the door! Or something like that... It was really hard to explain but then again, Lelouch figured it didn't have to be explained just to work. Then that deep voice in the cave must've been the bigger dragon's... Why didn't he notice something so peculiar like this sooner?

After thinking for a bit, Lelouch had to sneeze. Yes, he sneezed, ending his chain of thoughts. And this wasn't a good sneeze, it was going to turn out into a cold if not worse.
"Is Loki going to be alright?" the dragon looked at him again. He looked a bit tired, before answering, "It's nothing for you to worry about, dragon,..." he stated blankly, but then added jokingly, "it's not like a cold is going to kill me," as he saw the concern the drago-

"Shroudcloud," the dragon suddenly said. It made Lelouch look around, thinking whatever popped up in his head first when hearing the words. "What? Where?" he asked. He began to tense at all the thoughts who began running through his mind.
'Is it still burning? But, we're much too far to see any of he islands I-' again Lelouch's chains of thoughts were broken. "My name," the dragon added.
"I see..." Lelouch said, clearly relieved and less stressed. 'I didn't know they had their own names.' Lelouch thought considerably. He then just realized how much of a pain it would be if he had to name all of them.
