Chapter 1
The night sky was brightened by stars and the crecent moon. A shadow flashed across the moon and if you had blinked you wouldn't have seen it. A crack of thunder and a flash of blue light. A rock exploded close to a village and people screamed in terror. More explosions could be heard in all different places. It was the work of a dragon. That's right, a dragon. Finally free, the big creature exploded one more house and took off as fast as it came. It flew over the land getting closer and closer to the ocean. That is until it was shot down. A spear hurtled towards the dragon and it didn't have enough time to dodge. The spear peirced the dragon's right wing and it screeched. It fell to the ground in a flurry of wings and legs. It's green eyes widened in fear as it got closer to the hard ground. Then it hit. The creature bellowed in pain as it caught it's breath. It slowly stood up and ran, ignoring the throbbing pain in it's wing. The angry shouts of the villagers sounded farther and farther away from the dragon as it ran. It's ears were flattened om it's head and it's right wing hung uselessly by it's side. It didn't stop running until dawn. It flopped onto the ground and panted heavily. It was safe now but it couldn't fly. The dragon brought it's wind close to it's side and inpsected it. The dragon winced as it touched it's nose to the wound. It was still bleeding heavily but the spear was gone.
A wave of dissiness crashed over the dragon and it layed it's head down. It closed it's eyes and sighed in relief. It was free from the ckutches of the village. A village and paople was not a good place for a dragon to be, especially the last Nightfurry.
The Nightfurry relaxed a bit and soon fell asleep.
The black dragon woke up the next morning stiff and in pain, but the villagers' voices had returned. The dragon's heart sped up and it lept to it's feet. It sprinted away from the voices and didn't stop. A mou tain soon came into sight and the dragon did not hesitate to begin to climb. It used it's claws to scale the mountain. Though it's wing began to hurt more and more, the dragon kept climbing away from the village.
By sunset the Nightfurry had gotten to the top of the mountain and had found a cave. The dragon seemed to smile as it gladdly climed in. As it settled in, the dragon saw it. A flash of black across the sky. The dragon shook it's head crossly. That couldn't be another dragon. All the dragons had been captured. But it was a dragon! The Nightfurry could tell It looked up at the sky and with it's excellent eye sight, it could see the dragon clearly. It was a Nightfurry! Another Nightfurry!
The Nightfurry grinned and threw it's head up to the sky. It roared with all it's strength. Maybe the dragon would help a fellow Nightfurry! The dragon turned it's head towads the direction of the injured Nightfurry and the young Nightfurry perked up when the dragon began to fly towards it. That was until it saw who was riding the dragon!
'Viking!'
The Nightfurry growled and scrabbled to the back of the den. As the dragon got closer the Nightfurry began to panic. How stupid could it have been?! Calling for a dragon who was without a doubt a dragon of a villager! Of course no dragons were free around here!
The Nightfurry curled it's tail closer to it's body and flattened it's years. It began to glow blue as it charged itself for a shot. But it would wait until the dragon rider got off. It didn't want to shoot the dragon! It wasn't it's fault! It was being told to hurt other dragons.
The dragon soon landed on the ledge and the viking got off the dragon. The Nightfurry began to open it's mouth until it saw it was only a young viking. It closed it's mouth but still glared at the viking.
The boy suddenly gasped, "Toothless! It's another Nightfurry!"
'Toothless? Ssnce when did dragon slayers name dragons?'
The boy took a hesitent step toward the Nightfurry and gingerly put his hand out.
'What is he trying to do? Trick me into trusting him?' The dragon's pupils shrunk and it pressed itself closer to the wall.
The boy smiled, "It's ok." He cooed and took another step, "I won't hurt you girl." The dragon understood his words and heard truth in his words. She took a closer look at the boy and saw he had brown hair. He wore a bit of armour and had a peg leg replacing his left foot. A symbol of the dragon was on his armour and his eyes seemed gental and kind.
As the boy got closer she got less scared. Then the boy looked away and continued to hold his hand out. She cocked her head in confusion and looked at the Nightfurry for reasurrence. The dragon made sounds with it's throat and the injured Nightfurry understood him, "He won't hurt you." He said.
She looked back at the boy and his hand and slowly moved her head forward. She closed her eyes and was about to touch his hand until, "Look! We've got 'er! And another one too! Two Nigutfurries!"
She opened her eyes and ran towards the entrance of the cave, knocking the boy off his feet. She saw the vikings. They had found her! She raised her wings and f,apped them as she jumped off the ledge
"Wait!" The boys warning came too late as she realised what she had done. She had forgotten she couldn't fly. She fell towards the ground and screeched in fear. She curled up and shook. This was it. But the pain never came. She felt claws on her back and looked up to see the Nightfurry! The Nightfurry looked down and smiled at her. The boy was on his back.
"Is she ok Toothless?" He asked his dragon. He grunted and she sighed in relief. She was safe and the boy had saved her! A viking!
She hadn't realised the pain in her wing but it soon became unbarable. She wailed through clenched teeth and she fell unconscious.
She groaned as she felt a nudge on her foot. She cracked her green eyes open to see Toothless. She groggily sat up and Toothless shot up. He raced to her side and helped her up. She nodded in thanks and looked around. Wooden walls surrounded her and she saw a desk, a table, and everuthing that vikings owned. She saw she was laying on a bed. She wanted to know where she was but she couldn't ask, not yet anyway.
Toothless spoke to her, "Are you ok?" He asked and cocked his head, "My friend Hiccup patched up your wing and told me to watch you."
She nooded. She felt ok despite a small pain in her wing. She lifted her right wing up and saw white bandages covering her injury. She lowered it and looked at the other Nightfurry.
Suddenly there was a creaking noise and she snapped her head towards the noise. She prickered her ears as the same boy came through the door. He smiled when he saw me, "How are you feeling?" He asked. He walked towards her and smiled. The dragon's teeth came out and she attempted a grin. The boy laughed and held outhis hand again. This time she put her head forward without hesitation and let the boy pet her. He then scratched her under her chin and she fell to the ground. She rolled over and stared cutely at him.
"Hmmmmm, we need to give you a name." The boy said, "How about Marly?" She shook her head in denial, "Bell?" She cringed, "Sherly?" She huffed in annoyance, "What about Firestone." She grinned in response.
"Alright, Firestone it is then." The boy put his hands on his hips, "My name is Hiccup." He said, "And this is Toothless." He pointed at his Nightfurry.
"So, the villagers did that to your wing huh?" Toothless asked. Firestone wanted to talk to him but she didn't know if was safe yet.
Toothless cocked his head, waiting for a response, "Do you talk?" He asked.
She sighed. She'd have to talk sometime, "Yes, the villagers did this to me." She shut her eyes as Hiccup gasped. The thing was, she hadn't growled, moaned, or roared these words. She could only speak human.
"Y-you can speak human?" Hiccup asked. She looked away.
"Yes. I can understand dragons but I can't speak their language. Only human." She whispered, "I was born like this. I never saw my parents. I was all alone." She shut her eyes again, trying to get rid of the terrible memory, "But then the villagers came. They told me they'd caught my mother and father and killed them. They wanted to do that to me too, until they found out I could speak human. They didn't take care of me and used me all my life as a dragon translater as they slayed dragons. I escaped but they shot my wing with a spear." Firstone lifted her wing to show Hiccup, "They did this to me." She sat down and waited to be taken away and used again. Instead she felt hands on her neck She looked down in surprise when she saw Hiccup hugging her and stroking her comfortingly.
"You don't have to worry anymore." He said, "Here in Berk, we rescue and tame dragons. Here, dragons and vikings are friends. Toothless here is my best bud. Isn't that right Toothless?" Toothless trotted over to us and licked Hiccup on the face.
Hiccup cringed, "Awwww, Toothless! You know that doesn't wash out!" He laughed and affectionetly gave his dragon a noogie.
Firstone smiled at the sight, 'A village where dragons are free to fly! It's a dream come true!' She closed her eyes in content. She was safe here. She would never be captured again.
