AN: This is not my first fanfiction, but it is my first trip into the writing world of HTTYD. This is a One-Shot starting right after toothless and hiccup take off for their first flight. It is simply me trying my hand at a flight sequence to get started with my writing. Please no flames, constructive criticism is encouraged. Enjoy =D
They did it! The duo found themselves high in the air, flying freely. The restraint of gravity no longer had the scrawny Viking boy in its clutches. He felt free from the world in the sky with his best and only friend.
Its funny really, how this small intellectual boy with his crazy inventions and dry sarcasm found more care in a fire-breathing reptile then with his own people. While they shunned Hiccup and destroyed the boys confidence, Toothless showed him care and brought out the other side of the young Viking to be. He showed him how to be free and leave your worries behind. He showed him how all you need is someone that understands, someone to be by your side when you fall or stumble. And in return the clumsy youth gave him company and trust, he gave Toothless something to live for other than the gray monotonous life of kill or be killed.
The unlikely pair floated through the air unheeded, the newly finished tail prosthetic flapping about in the wind. Deciding it was time for the true test flight to begin he maneuvered his foot into position. After a quick glance at the small parchment he strapped to the saddle below they begun their descent.
Hiccup was still a little nervous that the the prosthetic breaking mid flight as it still was a prototype and had yet to be truly tested. But that was why they were in the air in the first place, to test the fake limb in heavy conditions.
When they neared the churning surface of the ocean Toothless adjusted his tail fin to level them out and dipped a wingtip into the crisp refreshing water below.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts yet again, Hiccup steeled his nerves and directed his nightfury companion towards a high rising sea stack arch. "Come on buddy, its go time." he encouraged his winged companion.
The two of them passed through unscathed and Hiccup let out a holler of joy as Toothless continued to fly along the surface of the water. Hiccup, distracted by their first victory failed to notice he sea stack in front of them. With a soft thunk, the dragon hit the pillar of rock and pushed off it with a holler of complaint. They launched off only to crash into yet another seastack. "Sorry, My bad." he apologized, only to receive a grunt and a slap on the wrist as a response.
He checked his sheet once again and clicked the prosthetic into position. "Yeah, yeah, im on it" The two quickly began to climb higher into the air to regain their previous altitude. The feeling of adrenaline running through their blood put a smile on their face as the wind rushed past them. The air started thinning out as Hiccup hollered up into the vast skies above them.
This all came to a sudden stop however as his slip of paper fell loose from the clasp in the saddle and began to float away. "Stop!" he screamed as the boy reached back to grasp the important piece of parchment. Hearing the yell, Toothless stopped climbing but that did not stop his riders momentum. The clasps tethering them together slipped up out of its hook and travelled upwards. Eyes widening as they came face-to-face, they began their screaming descent to the rocky ground below.
