The night fury
Hiccup was standing in his full length practically growling in front of the man. He was furious his eyes like a night fury´s throat just before a blast. We all were waiting for that blast.
Toothless didn't come to stand by his rider and friend. It was weird at first but now I think he stayed back so all around him could see the power Hiccup possesses by himself and not only through dragons.
But what the night fury did do was to move to stand right behind Hiccup making himself as small as possible, head held low.
Then Toothless opened his wings.
From the man´s position it looked like Hiccup had two massive wings dark as any night. At that moment Hiccup wasn't a dragon only in soul, no – he had the two most obvious features of a dragon; he had wings and he had fire. He was a dragon.
We had a dragon as our chief and he protected us as fiercely as one.
Stoick would have been proud and I dare say he would have shivered looking at his son right now just like all of us did – looking at all his power.
Stoick´s power had been authoritative, composed; it´s presence was there for all to see on his wide shoulders. You could see at first glance just what you got after yourself if you challenged or, Thor help them, picked a fight with him.
Hiccup´s power was different.
He isn't authoritative; he doesn't like to tell people what to do. He isn't build like power – you could easily miss him entering a room. Hiccup isn't calm or composed – those words just don't fit in the same sentence with his name. And if you look at him you do not see the power nor do you see the threat because all he holds in himself is peace. That´s what he offers you first no matter what intentions you have shown.
But you can break the calm. Hiccup is the chief and if he inherited something from his father it is the urge to protect. Poke him and you get an understanding smile. Poke anyone behind him and you will see just what his power is like. It may be well hidden but by god is it fierce. Hiccup will lash out and bite fast. With Stoick his opponents could see the bear-like man coming at them – with Hiccup they can see nothing before they are on the ground.
It was all on you in an instant, all burning fangs and biting flames. Hiccup´s power is different but it is not any less than his father´s. Because he is Hiccup and he is feral when the fire takes aflame in his eyes.
Many have heard of Hiccup´s lashing power, about his eyes, his fire, and his wings. Many have learned the hard way. Now when I visit the other Viking camps and cities I hear them talk about our chief. Guess what they call him, what they call my Hiccup?
The night fury.
Comments appreciated, darlings. I'm on a new territory here and wondering if I should stay.
