HI spoilers for the future of stolen heir. i neeedded to write the toothless meets hiccup scene with all the little changes that occur cause this is an au lol.

Hiccup freezes in his tree as he hears a loud crash. There should not be loud crashes on their island that he was not part of. His eyes sweep the tree tops and sees them tremble to the south against the blowing of the wind. Something big. Had Dagur heard? Debatable. Dagur had taken up a hobby of cave exploring that took him both underwater and deep into the heart of their island. Now more than ever with both of them growing bored from avoiding the market for the last month since the- 

Hiccup shushes his brain. He needs to investigate. He hurries off to look for the source, soon coming across broken branches and disturbed roots. He sees blood scrapped across a tree. But the sound of footsteps makes him duck down. Multiple footsteps. There should never be multiple footsteps on their island, since it should be just his brother and he. 

He silently stares out at the passing men. Those emblems were not of the Acumens. He bites his lip and then trails them. He recalls the oath to his brother. Death to all who ventured into their land. He hated the idea of killing anyone, but the threat of Berk finding out his home island or enemies finding their home island through word of mouth terrifies him. They had not talked about what to do if/when the Acumens, or more specifically the Grimborns. Hiccup had not taken as much offense as Dagur had but… he follows his brother. And his brother had wanted to put a large pause on that particular alliance for now. 

The hunters, who he knows are of the Spiteful Scufflers tribe, follow the broken branches with increasing noises of excitement. Hiccup finds his stomach filling with bile, brain clawing at him about the last time he had been alone around members of this tribe. He then comes up with an idea and dashes ahead. He covers up the trail and alters it. Maybe he can avoid bloodshed if he can make it look like their prey escaped. He scoots up trees and marks them up with blood and broken branches, looping back around to the shore. He then hides in the underbrush nearby and hears the steps approaching. 

The hunters curse and spit and howl. 

“The Night Fury got away! DAMMIT!”

Hiccup finds his breath stalling.

“I thought I saw you hit it chief.”

One of the men offers up.

“I hit it! It must have escaped the bola. Stupid of us to trust anything made by the  Bloodwrathers.”

Hiccup feels a flash of offense but keeps silent. The men get on the boat and sail off in the direction that they thought the Nightfury went. And Hiccup scrambles back to the original path of breakage. A Nightfury!! On their island?! The child of lightning and death, that spat a type of blue flame from on high that exploded the ground. He is terrified. He cannot let such a creature live and prowl on their island. He pulls his knife from his belt to rest in his palm that is coated in what he knows now is dragon’s blood. 

He finds the downed dragon lying deathly still, perhaps killed by the fall. Hiccup flinches down and ducks down with a hiss. He recognizes the bola as one that he had designed specifically for shooting higher and faster. He steps forward hesitantly when he sees no movement from the creature. Terror slowly starts to fade. Perhaps it is already dead. The knife stays clutched in is left hand tightly as he pokes the beast with his metal foot. The dragon shifts and huffs out a breath and he flinches back, crashing into a tree with a gasp of fear. He sees arrows buried in its hide. Oh… those look… Acumen. They must have been stolen or bought from the Dragon Hunters. So dragon root. Which either needed treatment or had to be slept off. But it would mean it would be easier to stab it. He finds himself starting to babble 

“You're a threat. I can't let you hurt my brother. I can protect him. I can protect him!”

His voice gets louder as he tries to overcome his nerves. The dragon’s eyes open and Hiccup finds himself looking into one of them. Green like his. Green like his brother’s. It looks so scared. So so scared. Scared like Hiccup was when he woke alone. Scared like Dagur had been when Hiccup was being threatened. 

He raises the knife, hands shaking violently.

A hopeless fear that makes Hiccup squeeze his eyes shut in an attempt to shake off his hesitation. The dragon makes no noise. No threat, no plea. The eye had such intelligence in it and yet there was no noise. 

He looks into its eye again. And this time it is the dragon that closes its eyes, clearly resigned to its fate. Hiccup hates that. 

He cannot do this. He cannot kill the beast that was kin with those that had ruined his ex-village and snapped away his leg. He is reminded of the fear he had seen in the eyes of the monstrous nightmare and he looks back over the dragon. It is bleeding too much, the blood on his hands is evidence of this.

“I did this.”

He whimpers, looking at the bola that he knows was shot out of a weapon he made. He had made a creature feel his fear and he finds himself crumpling. He takes a few steps back. But he cannot leave the Nightfury like this. He takes a step forward and then another. And then he falls to his knees to start cutting the ropes, murmuring words to the beast as he works.

“I'm cutting the ropes. Please don't murder me to death while I'm cutting the ropes.”

The ropes start snapping as he cuts. 

And then the dragon is free!

Then the dragon rolls over and tackles him to the ground, pinning him with its weight as its wings flare out behind it. Hiccup gasps, trying to stay in the moment as his mind claws at him with memories of other times when he had been pinned. The dragon roars into his face and Hiccup whimpers and then sobs. The noise seems to startle the dragon. The wings fall down and the dragon closes his maw. A muzzle presses closer to Hiccup’s face and the nostrils flair as the dragon sniffs. Hiccup feels no air getting to his lungs and his mind is swirling. 

The dragon gives a shaky huff, pupils shifting wildly as dragon root buries into the dragon's veins. The Night Fury sniffs at his leg as Hiccup starts forcing himself to gasp through his racing heartbeat. The beast sniffs his hands and hair gives a soft warble and steps back. Hiccup shivers and whimpers as tears drip down his face. The dragon takes another shaky step back as the dizzying effects of dragon root start to flare. 

Hiccup slowly sits up and then blacks out from the lack of air and panic. He wakes up moments later to the dragon stumbling about and crashing into trees. Hiccup cannot leave him out in the open like this. His brother is far less hesitant than him.

[Pilotredsky] "The Scuffler EP" : Wow, I can't believe that this EP still sounds awesome like the third day in a row. [Zock] "Blackbird" : Found this earlier, and it made me wanna check out the artist more. "Hollywood Days" : Very pleasant and easy listening for work, a bit in the smooth/lite-jazz territory. [Bobbing] "Thank You for Singing to Me" : Fantastic and super tight EP that kicks ass from beginning to end. [Moon Hooch] "Acid Mountain" : Wait, this is just a single?! [Wardruna] "Runaljod - gap var Ginnunga" : I've been listening to many of these songs out of order for years now, but hearing them all play out in sequence properly makes the experience even more affecting. [Paul Simon] "Graceland" : Great music, but just not the right pick for when I was listening, so I'll have to return to this at some point. [Glasys] "Defective Humanity" : I still think that "The Pressure" EP is a tighter project overall, but as a development thereof "Defective Humanity" has tons to offer, and explores a broader gamut of interpretation on it's themes. [PJ Harvey] "Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea" : I'll have to check out more by the artist, because I'm super down with the vocal performance, which is excellently complimented by the instrumental. [Evan Marian] "Parallels" : My lovely partner gave me a better set of earbuds to use at work, and hearing a much fuller juicier bass tone on an album I already really love was a crazy treat. [Talking Heads] "Remain in Light" : I don't know why I had such a bias against Talking Heads, but despite my best efforts to the contrary I did in fact enjoy the album quite a bit. [August Burns Red] "Guardians" : Metal is still something I'm learning how to listen to properly, but I love the tones that this group gets, and it's no wonder this is one of the first groups I stumbled across.

BLAZE OF BURN CREEK'S SECOND LITTER MID-SAGA UPDATE

Blaze, sporting a youthful version of his coat now, busies himself preparing for the brutality of the summer months. With seven pups to tend to, it is unlikely that all of them will survive.

This hunch is correct. Despite their best efforts, the demand of feeding all seven pups while defending against the terrors of Amethyst Mountain's competition proves too much.

Their daughters all fall, one by one, before even half of the summer is over.

Leaving Freyja and Blaze only with their two sons, Thor and Loki. The two boys cling to each other tight while their parents struggle to keep their bellies full.

With incredible dedication, Blaze and Freyja keep Thor and Loki alive into their older adolescence, when they are ready to start hunting and helping their parents defend their turf.

The boys prove to be skilled scufflers, surely their parents' genes shining through, as they help Mom and Dad maintain territory borders in between hunting the elk herds that roam their turf.

The year passes, even if a bit slowly sometimes. But Thor and Loki make it onto the other side, joining each other as full adults in their parents' pack.

WOLFQUEST:AE THREAD BLAZE-'Burn Creek Pack Pack 2M'

Talon's first litter is of age now, while he and Nightingale are caring for their third litter of pups, the grown ones start making some important life decisions. While his littermates decide to venture further off, Blaze is recorded as staying within the territory of his birth, helping strengthen borders while mom and dad are busy.

Blaze, despite his sickly health in youth, is a healthy adult. He has no trouble hunting for himself while on his own, picking off the weaker elk calves

It's a bit into the season when Blaze comes across some of the Dispersals his mother and father haven't chased off yet. In particular, a female from the Hayden pack (Hayden 53f) makes her presence known.

Their courtship is fairly long, as Blaze is torn between kicking her out and continuing to entertain her.

Though it eventually settles in a decently lengthy trial period where she helps Blaze during several hunts and excursions chasing off other invading wolves from both the Rescue Creek Pack and others further off.

After properly sizing each other up, the two seemed to feel confident in the others hunting abilities enough to solidify their courtship and pair off together. The Hayden Pack female was now recorded as 'Burn Creek 3F' nicknamed 'Freyja'

Food

Inspired by a query I received on my Discord today, I thought there might be some interest in listing what the core cast's favourite foods are. This is in universe, so don't go expecting any chocolate or fancy exotic fair.

---

Peyton and Peidyn: Dumplings in a rich, savoury stew, preferably pork if they can afford it. Norfolk dumplings are a bit lighter than their counterparts, using a raising agent in place of the fat you elsewhere find. I used to have this kind of thing all the time at my grandparent's house, typically with a lamb stew.

---

Abelyn and Anadora: Apple Johns, apples wrapped in pastry. Now I'll admit this one was new to me too, but you can bet I'm going to give the recipe a go when I get a spare day to try it out. I couldn't for the life of me find a decent online recipe for this, so I've taken a picture from one of my reference books.

---

Louis and Leila: Scufflers, typically warm from the oven with liberal lashings of butter. They're not from round these ere parts, so this is actually a traditional northern recipe, otherwise known as stotties, oven bottom cakes, or flatties. Think Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Northumberland.

---

Keldan and Kelda: Samphire, no special preparation or fuss required.

Have fun, but don't go burning down any kitchens!
