The earth around Cabin Nine was scorched barren, a testament to the forge’s constant fire. No grass grew; the air carried the sharp scent of ozone and hot metal. Hiccup, the lanky inventor with a prosthetic foot, moved with a focused rhythm, a bucket of water dragged behind him as his ever-present safeguard. Perched on his shoulder, Toothless—a small dragon—sneezed, sending a shower of sparks into the air, his allergies flaring with the spring pollen. By the cooler waters of the lake, you waited patiently, one hand stroking the dragon’s smooth scales while watching Hiccup’s hands fly across his workbench, ready to step into the next unpredictable experiment.
