Lie After Lie

Chapter 12

"It had two heads, maybe three? And it made this weird sound, like nothing I've ever heard before." fishlegs described this 'dragon' or 'creature' he found while he was with meatlug. "It was like a..." fishlegs tried to describe but just roared weirdly and buzzing and whimpering.

"Oh my thor!" snotlout said annoyed. "That's incredible, fishlegs!"

"I know right!" fishlegs smiled.

"Wrong! Not getting me on loki day." snotlout smirked. "If it isn't already obvious to you all, I am way smarter than-" snotlout said before he stepped on a rope and got flung in the air as he hanged from the rope. The twins came from the sides laughing.

"LOKI'D!" they yelled as we just watched them.

"Ha ha ha! Fine, you got me. But I still don't believe fishlegs about that creature in the lagoon." snotlout pointed his hand towards fishlegs.

"Creature in the edge lagoon!" tuffnut said smirking "just when you thought it was safe to take a bath in a lagoon"

"Okay, any day now." snotlout complained as hiccup placed his hand on toothless as toothless blasted the rope to let snotlout go as he hit the ground. "Thanks. Much appreciated."

"Fishlegs are you sure this wasn't you just getting loki'd? It is loki day." I crossed my arms as he groaned.

"I didn't get loki'd then, it was real sigrid!" fishlegs argued. "Look, you can loki all you want, but I know what I saw."

"We've been swimming and fishing in that cove for months, fishlegs. Don't you think we would have seen something if there was something to see?" hiccup asked fishlegs.

"Are you sure it wasn't just the light coming through the fog?" Astrid also asked. "It can play really weird tricks. Especially at that hour."

"Sounds more like someone got loki'd by the fog." tuffnut rested his hand on his hip.

"It wasn't the fog, you guys!" fishlegs groaned. "There's something out there, something real! And, as usual, you won't believe it until I prove it."

"Pretty much." We all nodded as fishlegs sighed and walked off.

"The last time I saw the creature, it was heading for the deepest part of the cove." fishlegs says with a bucket of fish.

"Is it more like a big fish or a giant snake?" Astrid asked fishlegs.

"I don't know, it was hard to tell from underwater." fishlegs replied. "Everything kind of looked fuzzy and misshapen."

"You sure you weren't looking at meatlug?" snotlout chuckled.

"Ha ha, very funny" fishlegs gave snotlout side eyes.

"Well, whatever it is, we'll find it." hiccup said as I looked at my bucket of fish.

"Where did you two hide my axe?!" snotlout looked at the twins, annoyed. "I know it's loki day but come on, it's my favourite one!"

"Okay, let's fan out and look for the creature. Don't get too close to the water." fishlegs warned.

"How do we even know it's real?" snotlout complained.

"Because it bit me!" fishlegs showed snotlout the 'bite' which didn't look like a bite.

"That doesn't look like a bite, fishlegs. It looks more like a burn." I looked at his 'bite'.

"Grab your buckets! We're going to chum the water to see if it'll show itself again." hiccup frowned as we got closer to the cove.

"Not me, no way. Loki day trick" snotlout chuckled. "I can smell it from a mile away!"
