PRELUDE
Maybe in one point in time, there were hundreds of Night Furies roaming the wilds. Maybe they were as common as any other breed of dragon, ravaging villages just as much as they.
All that's known now, since the dragons on Berk have been trained and Hiccup and Toothless are heroes, there's still one question, "Where DID all the Night Furies go?"
Toothless seemed to be the only one of his kind seen in the last hundred years. Hiccup constantly fought to find something about the disappearance, but he always failed.
As the years passed and the teenage gang of dragon riders on Berk grew into young adults, Toothless matured into a full adult. Small spikes lined his jowl and the top of his head, the trail of spikes down his back had grown, creating a difficult problem for Hiccup's saddle.
And as time went on, Hiccup felt more and more responsible for keeping his dragon grounded. He wanted to find others of his kind; to more understand them and hope that Toothless wasn't alone. He was never prepared for the one day, when all of that changed.
CHAPTER 1
"Toothless what are you doing?" Hiccup pressed his pillow over his head as his dragon stood in the above window, a strange and LOUD rumble calling from his throat.
It was in the Middle of the night, and half the village was being awakened by the, roar...or growl...Hiccup wasn't sure what the new sound was.
Everyday the Night Fury presented him with new information about his kind, but this?
Hiccup sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes drowsily, "Toothless!" The dragon turned and purred, cocking one of his ears to the side. His master huffed, "Can you wait till morning Toothless? Your waking EVERYONE up."
Toothless warbled and dropped down from the window, licking Hiccup as he passed. With a deep sigh, he stepped once around the room, then lowered down into the floor.
Hiccup sighed and fell back onto his bed, "Thank you."
The next morning, Hiccup awoke again to a deep thundering, but this time is was his father pounding on his door, "Hiccup! You need to come get your dragon!"
The boy shot up out of bed and stumbled sleepily to the door. He opened the door, rubbing his eyes, "What?" Stoic crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, "Your dragon; he's driving everyone insane."
Hiccup nodded and stepped out the door into the hallway, "I'll take him flying; maybe he's upset about something."
He stepped down the stairs and out the front door, cupping his hands around his mouth, "Toothless!"
A crash sounded and the dragon bounded around the side of the house to slide to a stop in the snow. His deep black scales were extremely shiny, too shiny.
Hiccup bit his lip, "What were you doing?"
Toothless purred and turned to rush back around the house, appearing a few moments later with a polish rag from one of the shops in the village. Hiccup sighed and watched his dragon flip his head around with the rag in his mouth, the fabric running over his legs and shoulders. When it fell away his scales shined like gems.
Hiccup rolled his eyes and chuckled at his dragon's efforts to clean himself. Without much grass growing in the winter, the dragons really didn't have anything quite soft yet sharp enough to clean their scales with. Toothless was just smart enough to use rags and other cloths.
"Let's go flying bud."
The dragon froze and dropped his rag, smiling his trademark dragon smile. He wiggled excitedly and turned for Hiccup to mount. The boy climbed aboard, deep thought running through his head.
There was something strange about Toothless that morning; something almost nervous and giddy. The change stumped Hiccup.
The pair took off in the sky and soared over Berk, the cold winter wind ripping by. Hiccup knelt over Toothless, sighing, "You need to stop doing,...whatever you're doing and calm down Toothless. Snogletog is coming and everyone doesn't want you causing trouble while they're preparing."
The dragon crooned, swooping to the left to bank around the tall cliff behind the village. Hiccup frowned, trying to redirect his dragon, "Toothless, where are you going?" He adjusted the harness to turn his dragon right, but he didn't cooperate. They began to spiral down towards the trees, Hiccup shouting, "Toothless!"
