Vikings write in what...? Norse?
Hiccup had no reason to think Castiel would be out of bed- the fact that she was awake was more than most would be expecting but Aurora kept nudging him to pick up the pace. It was likely that she was just REALLY excited about the improvement in her rider's condition and wanted him to see to her- he agreed, she'd probably be pretty shaken if the healer's assumptions proved to be correct. He had wanted to be there would she came to... Hiccup glanced ahead when Aurora hurried in that direction and immediately noticed why she did.There was Castiel and whether or not she agreed, she was a viking as she put on a brave face despite the pain she must be in. He made his way closer as she opened her mouth to speak and refused to falter when no sound came out. When she turned her head away he gently tugged her forward into a hug, being mindful of her ribs and he just held on both for her comfort and his own. He'd be worried she'd never wake. It was just her voice- she was still here. There was a strain to his own voice as he spoke near her shoulder, a slight waver rocking the words: "I'm so glad... you're okay." It was more than he could express.
During the long flight there had been nothing but the biting wind and breathing- a strain of which was not his own. Hiccup had never held onto anything tighter in his life than that moment he was clutching smooth scales and further more the young woman that he hunched over upon Aurora’s back, holding her steady as they flew for Berk.
That was two days ago and her recovery was slow.
He’d spent enough time sitting near the bed that it became a concern and his mother had asked Astrid of all people to talk to him- not able to find the words to comfort him herself (it’d been such a long time since they were last family). Hiccup was rightfully surprised to see her as her hands grasped his and she lowered herself eyelevel with the chair. “Hiccup, I understand your upset but you can’t spend every moment of your free time waiting for her to wake up.” While she was being gentle he could tell by the way she nipped at the corner of her lip that she wanted to say ’if she does’ and they were both thinking it so no secret there. No one was really sure if she would simply because she hadn’t yet.
“Someone should.” He had reason to be upset with her but he wasn’t. “When she wakes up.”
Eventually Astrid convinced him to come down to the Great Hall for dinner because Aurora was watching the girl and she’d be fine in the meantime. Astrid assured him of this and the protesting rumbles within his gut decided things for him. At that point, he wouldn’t have been allowed to say no. So now he was sitting at one of the tables with only the minimum crowd, consisting of all the similarly aged Vikings along with Toothless. The sum of which stopped speaking when Aurora came bouncing up aside from a rude comment on one of the twin’s parts and a whack from the other- he couldn’t be bothered to sort that out. He immediately got to his feet, scooting around the table to touch Aurora’s forehead with an uncertain smile before starting towards the massive doors. With all her excitement it could only mean Castiel had woken up.

Well that post was a bit much ^^ Also I imagine dragon saliva is so sticky to stop bleeding. After all... what animal doesn't lick its wounds? must be something to it.
“Castiel!” Hiccup managed to close his fingers around the hilt once more, twisting and desperately yanking his foot free from the rocks but it was too late. Already Drago followed through with his first strike and though she reached for a weapon it was no good as a hard blow threw her back against the rocks with a sickening thud. A word tore raw from his throat as he rushed to intervene: “NO!” His plea was not answered by the man but a dragon. The hard shell of a large skull thrusting forward and flinging Drago across the sands. Hiccup slowed finding the bane of so much suffering at his feet and though the man struggled to rise Hiccup put a halt to that. Lowering his sword’s tip to his throat- so close that the heat traced angry blisters across the skin but Drago Bludvist didn’t dare move because looking up into Hiccup’s eyes he realized this young man was one he should have never trifled with. The realization came to late though.
Even after everything Drago had done Hiccup delivered a quick and merciful death- though the man probably didn’t deserve it. He rose the blade high and struck straight and true, piercing the heart. For one sheer moment the man’s body convulsed but then he was still and it was over. The bewilder beast shifted its unwavering gaze towards the scene of death and Toothless rolled free of the fight to snarl and then bellow a terrifying roar at the massive dragon. For a moment it just stared back at the night fury but then it slunk down towards the water, bowing its massive head as it sunk backwards into the surf and retreated. Toothless went on screaming though- blasting the air with plasma with anger not yet subdued. Several of his dark charcoal scales had been torn from his hide to reveal raw flesh and though he was the stronger dragon in the scuffle he had held back against Aurora and clearly got worse off for it.
If ever Hiccup was torn between rushing to the nightfury or the girl he got past it quickly. A limp body taking all of his focus as he hurried to Castiel’s side, dropping to his knees to grasp at her body- arms coiling around her slender frame. Already he was dreading the worse but her breaths were coming short and pained, rattling and alive beneath broken ribs. He took a breath of his own and squeezing his eyes momentarily shut, lowered her carefully back to the sand to readjust his hold of her: folding her legs over one arm and resting her shoulders against the other. He cradled her to his chest as he straightened. Injuries were pretty common place around Vikings but even so she would need a healer. He had to get her back to Berk. He moved towards Toothless who had gradually began to calm, moving to comfort Aurora as she stirred from her daze.
“Toothless.” The main line that controlled his tailfin had snapped, flight would be impossible with it in that state. Even so he pressed on “Castiel needs a healer.” The night fury slowly turned- nudging the girl in Hiccup’s arms to poke his tongue at the back of her skull and lick the wound until it stopped bleeding. Hiccup knew Toothless couldn’t take them and the Skullcrusher wouldn’t get them back fast enough. “Aurora…” He’d reach a hand for her but had none to spare. He knew she must be confused in a fair deal of mental distress after all that had happened and that he shouldn’t ask anything of her so soon. “I… know this must be hard… I won’t ask you to come to terms with all that happened.” There was a slight tremble to his voice, worry for his friends. “But I will tell you that none of this is your fault.” He swallowed hard, knowing he should have come better prepared- not thinking he could do this all alone. “Castiel is hurt and we need to get her to Berk.” He stepped closer to the white dragon hoping that she understood that he needed her in order to get there and usually he wouldn’t be so cautious if not for everything that had happened. “Your babies are alright, she protected them but now we need to help her.”

Hiccup immediately tied up the extra flaps (which were his ’wings’) and straightened the moment he noticed the man approaching- feet crunching in the grainy sand. He extended his sword again, the warning clear but Drago wasn’t compelled to stop. He continued to approach while drawing the hatchling out before him. Hiccup’s gaze was hot with hatred. He wished he was in disbelief but these were acts of cruelty that the man in front of him was fully capable of without any regret. With that inhuman smile of his- Drago flung the hatchling away across the beach and successfully distracted Hiccup who only barely managed to block a strike when Drago brought out his own weapon. Steel clashed and his arms shuddered, he had to pull back.
It was at that moment Toothless had shrieked but whether it was for the close call on his part or his hatchling being mistreated- he could not be sure. He was sure that if Aurora had seen she would not have attacked again and instead probably would be pushed to attack the man despite the trance she was in. That was her baby BUT she had been facing the wrong way to see and kept on blocking Toothless even as he reared up, showing all his teeth. They continued to struggle on the beach but even as sand was kicked up every which way- claws groping and teeth tearing at scales as wings thrashed- Hiccup had his own fight to focus on.
“I had always intended to kill you boy,” Drago pressed his point with another strike and Hiccup retreated a step as he blocked it. “But Stoick got in the way.” The man was ruthless, his strikes without reason. Hiccup kept guarding- waiting for an opening to return a blow. “I should have killed him a LONG time ago!” But this was not just a physical assualt and his teeth gashed together, pain of a lost love one still too fresh as it was torn open again. And Drago laughed as he never had any right to. "and now..."
Once more Hiccup blocked but he misplaced his footing and his metal prosthetic got caught up in a few of the rocks and unable to retreat he was thrust down by a hard kick. "He can't save you this time." He hit the ground with a grunt, sword jarred from his grip. He tried to recover from this but Drago stepped down on his leg and rose his own sword and even as Hiccup groped backwards for his weapon and Toothless howled out for him- he didn’t think he’d make it.

lol, it's only fair Skullcrusher gets to help ^^
lol, more like just a real hard hit directly to the throat should do it and it's more like crushing the vocal cords.
I mean to kill him? any number of things could do that. Hiccup could strike him down with his sword after he attacked Castiel or one of those plasma blasts from one of those dragons could kill him or better yet- Skullcrusher could fulfill his revenge for his deceased rider and crush Drago's skull ^^

Hiccup is pretty smart but a hand is complicated. The best he could probably make it do is open and close- she wouldn't be able to move the fingers individually... As for making her mute- her vocal cords would have to be severed OR I think a hard hit to the throat could damage them- if the struck was just right. We can make her mute if you want. If that's the first thing you were thinking of.
What kind of permanent damage you thinking? Like a really nasty scar or more along the lines of blindness? If not a loss of limb...
I mean Drago could easily throw her backwards into that outcropping of rocks or fling her into the water. But I don't think they'll be getting back on that bewilderbeast's head in any case. This fight is probably going to end up taking place on the beach though it's currently hard to predict.
