A little story, it was just kinda hanging there, so I decided to take it up. Hopefully you'll enjoy this! J
I don't know how this all started, but I do remember the day I met him. It was a pitch black night, perfect for hunting in except I wasn't hunting for myself. I was hunting for the Chief. The Chief, was tremendous in more than one way. He was huge in size, weight, and especially appetite. The worst thing about him was that he was lazy. He lived deep in this ancient volcano and he would never come out because he was just that lazy. So he sent out this homing beacon 100 years ago, he summoned all the dragons and told them to feed him, and if someone didn't bring a ration, he'd eat them instead. No one could resist the call, so twice a day they brought him food. How? By attacking towns which people live in. My mother told me this story when I was little, so I'd been doing the same thing. Then it all fell apart in one night.
I'm the fastest dragon there ever was. So one night, I with a band of other dragons getting some food for the Chief and I do the huge part of distracting the people on the watch tower. I blow a couple of blasts of fire, then one of my purple fires. Then out of nowhere something smacks into me and ties me up! I fall like a rocket down, down then I hit the ground. I feel a sudden pain in my tail as soon as I stop. I moved my tail up around to look at it, but I couldn't move. Something was all over me, holding me very tightly and uncomfortably, rope. I used my teeth to try and bite it, nothing. I used my claws, nothing. I was stuck there until something or someone could help me.
Meanwhile I had to go back and feed the Chief, but I couldn't move. I twisted and turned but I only knotted myself further. I growled at the ropes, then sighed. My head, my tail, my whole body ached. So I closed my eyes.
The next time I opened them I saw a human off in the distance. I opened my eyes again and he was right next to me with a knife drawn. This is it, I thought, he's going to kill me just like the other humans. I never knew my life would end this way.
I leaned my head back and closed my eyes once more, expecting to feel the point at any moment. There was a pause. Then I heard snapping and the tight ropes were being cut. I looked up. The human was cutting the ropes!
In the instant that I was free I leapt on him. He had fear in his eyes and I was also afraid. I put on my fiercest face, telling him that he would never again touch me. Then I got up and tried to fly down the slope. This failed. I hardly got over the trees when I felt I was going down and landed in a ravine. Again, ouch. I turned and looked at myself to see what had gone wrong. I looked at my tail and half of it was gone! I paced in circles. I couldn't do anything without my tail! I couldn't fly most of all!
I felt eyes watching me so I looked around. That human was watching me. I made a face at him the snorted. I saw a pond and wandered slowly over and got a drink. I felt more horrible than I looked. I looked back around and the human was gone. Sighing I made a little fire nest, just the way I liked it then laid down. I had to think this through. It was near midday, and the Chief's next feeding would be in about 4 hours unless he's in a bad mood, then he eats more. But if I couldn't fly to the den, then I couldn't give him food. Then what would my life be worth if I couldn't feed the Chief? I laid there and thought and thought until my brain hurt, then I closed my eyes and fell asleep all over again.
It was early the next morning, I had gotten up still sore and my tail was still missing. Then I heard sliding on the rocks. I went and hid behind a large rock⦠it was that strange human again! Creeping up, I was ready to pounce on him when he turned around. I didn't have the nerve to kill him when he was looking, but, wait, he was carrying fish! I slithered down the rock and stood in front of him. He held out the fish to me. I looked at him. He looked at me. I crept forward and opened my mouth. I didn't want him to take the fish back so I started without my teeth showing. Then showed them and took the fish. I ate the fish and it was so good on my empty stomach, but my mother always taught me to be polite when someone gives me food. I rushed up, maybe a little too quickly for the human's liking and coughed the food back up for him to share. Then I sat back.
He just sat there. I nodded for him to eat it. He slowly took a bite then did a funny gesture with his face. Swallow it! I mentally coaxed. He finally did but also shuddered then did another funny look with his face. I tried to imitate it.
He walked forward and tried to touch my nose. I snarled at him and flew-fell away. When I was on the ground I made another little fire nest and laid in it putting my tail over my eyes. A moment later I look up and there was that pesky human! I snorted and got up and hung upside down on a tree by my tail. He sighed and walked over and sat on a rock. Then I heard a stick scratching on the ground, I thought that I had hurt his feelings. So I got up and walked over to see what he was doing. I looked over his shoulder and he was drawing a picture of me! I wanted to repay him so I grabbed a log and drew a beautiful picture too. He stood up and stepped on my picture, I growled. He just didn't respect my art! He took his foot off. Then he stepped on it again, I did the same. Then he learned to respect my picture. He stepped over and over then he stood in front of me.
He put out his hand to touch me again. I still told him no. Then he turned away and put out his hand. I decided that he wasn't as bad as other humans, and maybe, because he was kind he could help me. I stretched my nose forward and put it against his small, warm hand. The human heaved a sigh. I drew my head back.
The human said some meaningless words, I heard them but I didn't care what they meant. He said something around the lines of: "Maybe dragons aren't as fierce as we thought they are. You're actually pretty nice. I'll name you Toothless, because it looked like you didn't have any teeth. Well, it's getting late, I'd better go, bye Toothless!" the human waved his hand then ran off.
I sighed. Alone again. It was nice to have some company, even if it was a human. I again heard the beacon from the Chief, and I still knew I couldn't go. Actually, it was nice not to have to hunt for some lazy dragon. I was free, no chance of getting eaten. I was getting used to that life. I yawned. It had been a long day and I didn't even care to make my fire nest. I just found a cozy corner and curled up and sighed sleepily.
So yeah, it's in Toothless' point of view. It was just hanging above my head so I grabbed it. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! J
