Don't hate me, this is my first fanfiction.
Tv series never happened. Set after Snoggletog.
þegn(1) crept into the cave, careful not to disturb Elder, the old gray dragon was weak and dull, well beyond his juvenile years.
''What is it þegn...?'' he rumbled, his eyes still closed.
"Elder, I bring news. You wont believe what happened'' þegn, a blue terrible terror, waited patiently for his reply.
At last, with much effort, the old dragon lifted his head to meet the terrors gaze.
''Yes?'' He rasped ''What is this news you bring?''
''It's the mother, she's been killed!''
At once the old dragons eyes shot open, his body frail, but eyes showing as much determination as his more 'youthful days'.
Within seconds the elder was on þegn. ''Who did it? Tell me now!'' he shouted
þegn opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off when Elder looked up, 4 Nightmares were flying into the cave.
''Sir! I believe you've heard the news?'' the first Nightmare said, giving a bow of respect.
''Actually, þegn still has some explaining to do, it is about the mother, is it not?''
''Yes it is sir, a Night Fury took it down, I've never seen anything like it!''
''B-but, I thought Night Fury's were extinct!'' þegn exclaimed, still pinned under the Elders claws.
''He was carrying a human also! Who would of thought it. A traitor to save us all!'' the brown Nightmare scoffed, ignoring þegns exclaimation.
''And the speed he flew at!'' the second Nightmare continued. ''It was that prosthetic tail that gave him so much power, the human was controlling him! What a sight it was to see! But enough of that, Elder, you can go home now! The nest is free of mothers power!''
Elder was staring blankly at the wall. ''Get me Krellr(2)'' he ordered þegn. His eyes showing no expression as he stared into the wall.
þegn stared on, confused at the Elders sudden change of expression.
''NOW!'' he roared, þegn squeaked and scurried out of the den.
It was hardly a mouses heartbeat before a Nadder walked into the den, her feet making a delicate tapping sound on the floor, her beautiful eyes glinted in the dark light of the cave, and even in the darkness, her almost white scales could be seen.''You wanted me Elder?'' she asked, her voice crisp and clear.
Elder turns his head to the Nightmares and þegn. ''This conversation for only her ears.''
The Nightmares stood up and bowed, before leaving the cave, þegn dipped his head and padded outside, before spreading his wings and taking off into the sky.
It was only when he was absolutely sure they were gone, did he turn back to Krellr.
''The mother is dead'' he whispered.
Her eyes widened at the news.
''S-she was killed by a Night Fury. O-on a rider'' he stuttered.
''Isn't this...A good thing?'' she asked, the confusion in her voice obvious.
'' . This is bad, it is very bad. The prophecy was correct...''
''No, no that can't be true! That, that's just a story and you know it! We can't bring them here now! We need time to recover! Spring isn't even showing signs of budding yet! And we cannot let a HUMAN into our land! You know that!''
Elder dipped his head, and let out a long sigh, a puff of smoke following. ''That's the thing, I don't know how the Night Fury will take to this, and how he will fly without his rider. I'm afraid the riders duty is fulfilled, we must now focus on the Night Fury. I am sending you out to bring him here. Peace is now with humans and dragons, and both will join us in the final battle. Something very bad has come, I can sense it. It knows the mother is dead, and now has the power to unleash it's fury.'' His voice was thick and heavy, and his voice shook before finishing .
''The prophecy has no need for the boy anymore...But it will only fuel the Fury's anger...''
Hiccup yawned and stretched his arms, Winter was finally beginning to release it's grip on Berk, the nights he had been mentally recording were getting
longer, minute by minute.
He lay in his bed, his face to the ceiling, his mind wandering back to those moments of when everything had changed.
But of course, silence can only last so long, he heard the all too familiar *THUMP* on the roof, signalling Toothless was starting to get grumpy, he was always grumpy if he didn't get his daily dose of flying with Hiccup.
''Alright Alright I'm coming!'' he yelled. ''Bossy reptile.'' he muttered, but smiling all the while as he put on his leg and opened the door to the outside.
The cold wind that gushed into his house cause Hiccup to gasp and shudder. Even with the worst of the Winter over, it didn't mean that it felt any less freezing in the morning. The town was quiet, with only a few farmers going to tend to their sheep, and some vikings starting to set up their stalls. Hiccup breathed the cold, crisp air before proceeding to head towards Toothless. Toothless was standing patiently behind the house with the saddle and tail, ever since Snoggletog, and when toothless removed his automatic tail, he would bring out his old tail to make sure Hiccup wouldn't do anything ''funny'' and try to switch it back, Toothless preferred the feeling of being one, moving, and working together. Hiccup, on the other hand, always carried it around with him on long journeys, or if bad weather was expected to come, as a ''spare'' in case it got damaged, or if he became too injured to fly.
''Well! You ready to go on your daily flight bud?'' Hiccup asked the black dragon. Toothless nudged him, as if trying to say ''Come on! Get on with it! I wanna warm my scales up!'' Which, he was actually saying.
Hiccup chuckled and climbed onto his back, hooking his prosthetic into the saddle, and with one swift movement, Toothless launched himself into the sky.
The flight was pretty routine, nothing out of the ordinary, Hiccup stopped off at the farthest place he would dare go in this unpredictable Season, a small island. It was quite simple, a small stream, a few pin trees, and a thick forest on the other side of the Island, hidden from their angle by a large mountain.
Once Hiccup and Toothless had landed, Hiccup hopped off him and stretched his arms, stiff after all the flying. They had been flying for about two hours, and a two hour journey back. Hiccup rarely flew this far, but today he was feeling adventurous.
''Ok bud, we're going to rest for a bit, and then we'll head back.'' he replied. The dragon purred in response and lay his head down on the sand.''
Hiccups eyes opened to a strange rustling sound, he turned his head towards the forest but realized it was too dark to see.
Wait. Too dark? Dear Gods, had he slept all day? He was jerked out of his thoughts as a low rumbling sound came from the had awoken to the sudden change of the beat of his riders heart, and growled at whatever was rustling in the bushes. No sooner than he had did that though, did a dragon step out of the bushes, calm and relaxed, but showing a hint of wariness and a glare that said- ''Don't you try anything now''
''Well what do you know? It's just a Nadder toothless!'' Hiccup laughed. ''Woah, what beautiful colors you have!'' He gasped at the Nadders white scales, glinting in the moonlight.
''I am here for you. Night Fury. I have searched many moons for you.'' The Nadders hiss was slow and smooth.
''Who are you? And what do you want?'' Toothless growled, wrapping his tail protectively around his rider.
''I told you, I am here for you. My name is Krellr, and I come with an important message from Elder.''
