What up peoplezez, NITRO PSYCHO here bringing you my first story in the How to Train your Dragon archives.

For those of you out there that don't like long waits between chapters, just bear with me, ok. I've got three other stories to keep track of, so my attention is pretty much stretched out. Plus I have like three weeks before I go back to college and I don't know if I'm going to go somewhere or not.

The story mostly takes place about 1 or 2 months after Hiccup and Toothless kill that giant dragon at the end of the movie. However, it will start in Seattle in the year 2052 for two reasons: one is to make sense out of what I'm putting in the story and two so that… ooh, spoiler alert… ahem as I was saying, the second reason is that hopefully by that time, someone would've invented time travelling.

Now for the disclaimer: I do not own How to Train your Dragon, I do own my characters and this story.

Enjoy

Seattle, Washington: sunny and warm 4 months out of the year and either raining or cold the remaining eight. The people here are rather nice on the days where it's not damp. The Mariners still haven't made it to the World Series yet, even though I don't really care much about baseball. It was also rated as the 10th largest city in the U.S. All in all, Seattle is a pretty nice place to live.

However, the one flaw I see with the city is a certain group of residents. No, I'm not talking about the usual stereotypes people complain about. This group falls into one specific category: dragons. Seattle has the 7th largest dragon population in the world and the 3rd largest in the U.S., falling short to New York and Boston. It used to be 5th behind Houston and Los Angeles, but two consecutive hurricanes and a governor who was surprisingly anti-dragon had forced them to move to other cities in the U.S., the bulk of which ended of here.

The dragons in Seattle are several of the older species. The most common one is the Deadly Nadder, a vibrant dragon that stands two hind legs, various spikes on its back, and shoots white hot fire. It possesses one of the largest wingspans and can fly long distances without getting tired. Their most notable weakness is that they're incredibly nearsighted, making it impossible for them to attack you if you're standing face-to-face with one.

Another common dragon out here is the Gronckle, a large, boulder-like dragon whose small wings make it able to fly in any direction, the biggest trait about them is their ability to eat rocks and turn them into fireball like blasts. Out of all the known dragons, Gronckles only have a limited number of shots and are very lazy.

The most aggressive of the dragons in Seattle are Monstrous Nightmares, known not only for the serpentine-like appearance, but are also the strongest, being that they have no glaring weaknesses. They breathe out a liquid fire, which they can use to cover themselves when attacking. I'd personally rate anyone who fight one of them a 9.5 on the vulture scale.

Hideous Zipplebacks are quite possibly one of the most unusual dragons in existence. Apart from their sickly green color, they're the only species that has two heads. One head breathes out a gas, while the other ignites it, making it adept at ambushing enemies rather than directly. While this makes it a plausible threat, the two heads are known to bicker a lot.

The Terrible Terror is in fact the smallest known dragon in the world. This makes them a threat to face in a group. You know when one of them is going to shoot fire because they let out a small hissing noise right before they do. The best advice when dealing with them: use your size advantage.

Last but not least is the world's most mysterious dragon: the Night Fury. Their black scales and cat-like movements make them invisible at night. They never miss with the bluebell flames, making them the best dive-bombers in the world. The best advice when dealing with one: run. You do not want to be in their line of sight when they're in a bad mood.

I never had to work with dragons in my life and I never intend to. These are the words that I desperately want to say. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen because of one stinking name: Toothless. See, several centuries ago, sometime after Hiccup and Toothless took out a giant dragon known as the Green Death, Toothless had been cursed and was unable to die. Ever since then, he had been living with his family, living alongside them generation after generations, right down to me and my parents. The bad part of it is that, when I was a kid, I had somehow climbed on top of him when he was apparently having a nightmare. The resulting buckling when he woke up apparently through me for a loop.

Years later, after countless psychiatric sessions, I've finally gotten over most of my phobias and my distrusts. However, I still suffer from what my psychiatrist's son calls 'Staying-in-the-Air-for-Way-Too-Long phobia' and 'Anything-that-is-Large-has-Wings-and-Breathes-Fire phobia'. And as much as I think the kid's simplifications are dumb, the kid had a point: the two things I haven't forced myself to tough out are flying and dragons. Let's just hope either of them doesn't end up being the death of me.

Well, hope you like the prologue

The purpose of this being the way it is was because I thought how the movie started was original and wanted to start the story the same way

R&R, plz. The more reviews I get for the story, the easier it will be for me to post chapters

NITRO PSYCHO OUT!
