You are not the only ones who hate me.

I hate me too. I was so caught up in my book that the time just went away. And I really didn't want an entire month to be spent undone, I can't leave you guys hanging like that! Anyway, I unfortunately didn't write a lot for this one, but I'm going to continue it in the next chapter. I gotta admit, I really don't like how this chapter came out, but I can't stand another second leaving you in the dark.

I do however think I will be doing a KH fanfic if anyone likes that, do keep your eyes peeled.

Anyway, please enjoy!

Chapter 13 Part 1

Nice day. Hiccup thought.

It was true, the sun was shining brightly from its place in the sky, its rays passing through the sparse white clouds and making the snow and ice seemingly shimmer with gold ore. The glaciers and the Sanctuary were standing tall as always, their oddly shaped structures adding a sense of beauty and elegance to the landscape that Hiccup found absolutely captivating.

Hiccup hummed as he drew the picture in his journal, which to note, was a complete opposite to the chaotic storm outside.

The boy felt a puff of hot air glide over his shoulder, a sharp contrast to the cold wind and occasional droplets of rain that surprisingly didn't land on his drawing. Turning his head slightly so that he was still sitting forward, he glanced behind him to see a familiar set of green eyes.

Toothless was gazing over Hiccup's shoulder at his drawing through narrow pupils and occasionally looking up at the actual thing in front of them. When the boy caught his eye, he gave him a look which was accompanied by a little noise that clearly stated, "You did it wrong."

Hiccup laughed lightly and said, "Never question the artist, bud. You never get a straight answer." He shook his head when his dragon snorted in his face and dramatically flopped down on the icy ground as he let a slight huff escape him.

The boy chuckled quietly and looked back out from beneath the small overhang they were sheltering under. The rain was pelting down so thickly that it looked like a curtain or a blanket and the clouds completely blotted out the sun; the sky itself seemed to be dyed a near endless black as it cast a shadow over itself.

A lighting strike suddenly flashed in the distance, causing Hiccup to jump a bit. The boy closed his leather journal with a snap and slid back to place both the book and his charcoal pencil in one of Toothless's saddle bags.

"Come on bud," Hiccup patted his dragon's black-scaled hide, "we better get inside before everyone flips out again." Thoughts of the past two weeks entered his mind. His mother and the dragons were practically following them everywhere he and Toothless went. Not the mention that he had been told strictly by his mother that if they so much as stuck a wing tip a mile out from the Sanctuary neither Hiccup nor Toothless would be able to so much think about getting up from the ground.

Yeah, he's been pretty cautious the last few weeks.

Toothless stood up, clearly possessing the same worries. Hiccup walked over to his dragon and swung himself onto the Night Fury's back. He clicked his feet into the stirrups and grabbed onto the saddle horn before crouching low in his seat.

"Let's go home bud."

Toothless warbled in reply and the pair soundlessly took off into the storm-ridden skies.

"Oooohhh boy…" Hiccup muttered as he guided his dragon through the air.

Never mind the pouring rain around them, that wasn't so hard to deal with when you were so close to home. No, mind the lightning. The lightning was okay at first, just appearing randomly in the distance every now and then, but after a little while it started to worry the two. Every time it struck it seemed to be advancing on them, and at one point Hiccup was so surprised that he almost fell off Toothless's back.

As of right now, the pair were pushing themselves to the extreme. Toothless was putting as much force as he could into his flying, and Hiccup was doing his best to guide them to the glacier's entrance.

Come on, come on... Hiccup thought desperately as he scanned with his eyes. Suddenly, a dark circle in the glacier's side appeared through the rain.

"There!" Hiccup pointed at it, and his dragon began to turn…

And then a stream of lightning hit them.

Both dragon and rider faulted before they started to drop out of the sky. The pair screamed as they fell, but Toothless somehow managed to open his wings and slow their descent. Hiccup looked back at the Night Fury's tail and his heart dropped. The lightning bolt had hit the artificial tailfin dead on; it had utterly decimated the metal connecting rod, leaving a twisted black material in its place, and had almost completely burned away the tanned leather. Hiccup turned his attention back to the front after giving up hope on any type of aerial recovery and focused instead on the Sanctuary entrance.

Hiccup and Toothless pulled and pushed against the wind and rain as they tried desperately to aim themselves at the hole. Lightning and thunder raged around their heads with some of the bolts nearly landing a second blow.

"Come on, bud! We can do this!" Hiccup cried over roaring storm. Toothless screeched back before folding his wings and clamping them to his sides. He dove towards the entrance. Hiccup screwed his eyes shut and pressed himself down on his dragon's back. Not a second later (though it felt like hours), the sounds of the storm died down a little, and the winds and rain stopped showering down on them. Hiccup slowly opened his eyes and sat up straight.

And started laughing when he realized that they were inside.

Toothless gave his rider a look as he cackled like a madman on his back, then he sighed plopped down onto the ground.

"Aw, what's a matter bud?" Hiccup wheezed. "Am I annoying you with the soothing sounds of my majestic voice?"

Toothless turned and glared before standing back up and walking along the jagged passageway that led to the main cavern. Hiccup caught his breath and started to I clip himself from the saddle as they trudged along.

Hiccup was just removing the final clip when they emerged from the tunnel. Toothless stopped walking when they were out partly to let Hiccup slip off his back, but the other was the giant blue eye staring at their faces.

"Oh, hehe… Hello, your majesty!" Hiccup said timidly. "Hey, so… We got back on time!" The boy pointed out.

The white Bewilderbeast groaned loudly before puffing a breath of ice at the pair, blanketing them from view. The cloud cleared a few seconds later however, revealing a pair of icicles.

Hiccup blatantly took notice of the fact that they were frozen solid. The King had seen the rain on them and frozen them into place. Why did he-?

"HICCUP!"

"I'M SO DEAD!"

To be continued…
