The nanodragon ignored the question.
"Just say the word Ziggerastica and I will come. However, fee warned... You can call on my Most Glorious Aid just once, and once alone. When I have repaid my debt you will become just another smelly, repellent human to me. So choose your time wisely, Boy-with-Spots-no-his-Ugly-Nose, choose your time wisely..."

And with that the rude little animal gave a last shake of his wings and flew out of the window.
Hiccup wasn't quite sure what to make of this conversation. It seemed unlikely that a creature as small as Ziggerastica could be as powerful as he seemed to think he was. But on the other hand, I need all the help I can get, Hiccup thought gloomily.
