The island came into view quickly as the clouds cleared way and I turned my Night Fury to land. Others were already there and looking over the hills of the place, but the most prominent feature was the two huge statues flanking a cave in the mountain. We landed quickly and I patted his head and walked over to the group assembled just outside the cave.
"What did you find?" I asked.
"A huge cave with complete columns and a huge fire place." a man said.
"Then why did you need me here so quickly?"
"We found this on the stone ring surrounding the fire place."
He handed me a very old journal that had ancient Nordic inscriptions all over it accompanied with illustrations. I came to realize that this was the journal of Hiccup the founder of the dragon world a thousand years ago. This was why they brought me in because I was the foremost expert on dragons and one of three people in the world who could read the inscriptions of this ancient people. I opened the first page and it said that this was Berk and land of kill or be killed because of dragons.
The information that was contained inside this journal was more valuable than anything else this island could possibly give. It gave the accounts of the man who found the peace between man and dragon and shaped the world that still feels the effects today. I carefully placed the journal in my bag and returned to my Night Fury.
"Now we get to learn how you guys were found."
About time you found it.
"I couldn't agree more."
I hoped on and we quickly launched into the sky heading back to my laboratory to fully evaluate the information in this book.

"Its about time they found the book, right bud?"
How long has it been since you left it there?
"Give or take five hundred years."
Toothless remained silent and I watched the team dig around my old home that had been left perhaps three hundred years ago. I couldn't remember the last time I saw people here but I supposed it was inevitable. Toothless and I had left this place well before to explore and only came back out of nostalgia for the old days back when or partnering was a delicate secret.
"Remember the old days, before we flew off?" I asked.
Yeah, those days were crazy with your father hunting us but it all worked out in the end and here we are, still together.
"Yeah but I wonder if things could have gone differently than how it did. Especially with you."
What don't want me anymore?
"No, that's not what I meant I just always wonder."
You should stop and get over here.
I sighed and layer down next to him and felt that familiar warmth that he gave off. It was still the same as it always was and reminded me of the first time I felt it. Way back when I only felt his nose but could still feel the warmth that he gave off. He was dozing so I drew symbols on his side with the blue fire. He purred against my touch and I drew the very first symbol I learned, the one that bound us together.

Now back at my office I could properly examine the journal, but soon became distracted by my Night Fury who kept bumping into me every time I tried to concentrate. He looked at me with pleading eyes and I looked at the clock and it showed 1:30 in the morning and then I knew what he wanted. I gave up fighting and shut off the lamp and walked slowly back to my room while he bounded ahead.
Once inside I slipped into my pajamas and looked over at him curled up and looking at me. I crawled into my bed now feeling the exhaustion of the day and he began to growl as I lay there. I look up and he stares at me and then I sigh and get out of bed and walk over.
"Your just a child, you realize that?"
He just stared and I sat up against him and he adjusted quickly to my presence. Soon he was curled around me and I felt his warmth bleed into me and it quickly put me at peace. It made me wonder how many times Hiccup and to do this with his Night Fury a thousand years ago.
