Toothless' Daughter

by Verdantia Akalixi

An injured young Nightfury is driven from her home when disaster strikes. Separated from her kin, will the dragonriders of Berk be able to help her find a new home, or will she flee until there is nowhere else to go? And why is Toothless acting so weird? *Pretty much dead unless someone gives me a good reason/idea to keep writing*

1. Chapter 1

Here I am again! I know this is short, but the second chapter will be posted today or tomorrow ;) You know when you just get an idea and have to get it down as fast as you can? Yeah, that was this.

She was a dragon. A dragon spiraling and diving, changing directions on a dime and wings spread as wide as they could go. A dragon that was maimed and bleeding, part of her tailfin torn and a deep gash on her foreleg.

She had to escape. She hadn't meant to steal the two-legs' food! She had just been so hungry, unable to hunt because…Don't think about it, just fly! Despite her mental struggles, flashes of memory sprang unbidden to her mind.

Ash, hot and piercing. Tongues of fire rolling down the mountain. Heavy boulders, glowing hot, thudding into the ground after plummeting from the grey sky. Dragon screams as her nest is overtaken by on of the advancing, hissing tongues as they ate everything in their path. Mother desperately herding the hatchlings into the sky, fleeing as fast as they could fly.

The two-legs had shot pointy sticks at her, tearing through her delicate membrane, and in a panic she had flown away, as fast as she could – and then, as she was approaching another island, two-legs on dragons had appeared and begun chasing her! So far they had shot no pointy sticks, but that could just be a result of her desperate pleads to their dragons. Zooming through the sky like lightning, breathing harsh and labored, the young Nightfury, hardly older than a hatchling, was panicking. She had to get away!

After what seemed like hours of the high speed pursuit, fatigue, starvation, and blood loss started to overtake her. Her flight slowed, wings folded, and a black haze started to blind her vision.

With that, the young dragon plummeted to the ground, only vaguely aware of a black blur appearing out of nowhere and breaking her fall.

Thanks for reading! If anyone has ideas for the plot or the characters, or concrit, or anything no matter how small, let me know - even a simple "I liked it" would mean a lot to me!
