‘Hang on, Snotlout…’ said Hiccup wildly. ‘You don’t have to do this. I’ll think of something…’

Hiccup had an appalling premonition of disaster.
‘Windwalker! Don’t take him!’ cried Hiccup.
Windwalker was an obedient dragon, and in normal circumstances he would have obeyed Hiccup. But Windwalker had followed enough of what was going on to know that this was their only chance. He gave his master an apologetic, slobbery nuzzle, and knelt down so that Snotlout could climb on his back.
‘Why you have to have such a mess of a riding-dragon, Hiccup, I really do not know,’ scolded Snotlout. ‘You’re the son of a Chief, for Thor’s sake…’
Snotlout reached out and gave Hurricane a last sweeping pat on one regal, shining side. He rested his head briefly on the Hurricane’s flank and whispered, ‘You’re a good dragon, Hurricane.’
Before Snotlout climbed on to Windwalker’s back, he remembered something.
