Author's Note:
This fanfic will be kinda short, but I'll make a sequel. Enjoy! It's a "half human, half dragon" fic.

Hiccup sighed heavily as he and his fellow Dragon Riders approached Dragon Island. They (him, Astrid, Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut and Fishlegs) had been told to go investigate Dragon Island because of some "weird, pained screeching" Mulch and Bucket, two Viking fishermen, had heard last night while hauling in the last catch of fish before winter. It was now approximately two weeks until the first snow set in and from there it would only get worse for Berk, Hiccup's home. Blizzards, hail, treacherous ice... It made the young Viking shiver just to think about it. Already it was starting to get chilly out and he was wishing now that he'd worn his extra thick fur vest like his father, Stoick the Vast (and Chief of the tribe) had told him to. Oh well. The screeching was probably nothing, anyway. Mulch and Bucket could've easily confused the pained screech with a regular dragon screeching.
"I'm bored," proclaimed Snotlout, Hiccup's cousin. Not again, he thought. He's been complaining since we left.
"We're almost there," he said, trying to pacify Snotlout. And they were, anyway. Hiccup could see the rocky land mass they had dubbed Dragon Island (for its many species of dragons, obviously) on the horizon. Soon, the teens had landed and dismounted their dragons (or dragon, in Ruff and Tuff's case; they rode a two-headed Hideous Zippleback named Barf and Belch); Ruffnut and Tuffnut were bickering again, but Hiccup tuned them out and scanned the beach. Just as he had expected, there were no signs of any injured dragons. If there had been a fight between two dragons, there would have been signs of a struggle, such as broken trees and scorch marks on the ground. But the shore was pristine.
Hiccup was about to tell the group not to bother going further inland to search for the injured dragon since there probably wasn't one when the twins started at it again.
"Did you just tell me to shut up?" asked Ruffnut angrily, her eyes flashing.
"So what if I did?" Tuffnut asked, leaning towards her with his arms crossed menacingly.
His answer was a punch to the nose, which started to bleed heavily. Tuffnut clutched his nose while jumping up and down in pain and crying out, "Oh, I am hurt! I am very much hurt!" over and over again. Snotlout and Ruffnut laughed while Fishlegs looked nervously at Astrid, who was frowning disapprovingly at them.
Suddenly, Toothless perked up and ran straight inland. "Toothless! Where are you going, bud?" Hiccup asked his dragon. Toothless just ignored his rider and continued to sprint away from the teens and their dragons, seemingly following a scent.
Why would he just leave? Hiccup thought. But his musings about Toothless were interrupted by Toothless himself, for the next thing Hiccup knew, Toothless had come running back to the shore, panting heavily. However, upon noticing Hiccup staring, bewildered, at him, the Night Fury galloped over to his rider, bit his sleeve and dragged Hiccup away from the group. "Woah! Toothless! Where are we going?" Hiccup asked, pulling back. But Toothless just crooned and pulled on his sleeve harder, nearly causing Hiccup to fall flat on his face. Catching himself, Hiccup looked back at his friends, who simply shrugged and made to follow. It's not like they were busy or anything.
So Hiccup allowed his dragon to drag him further and further away, retracing Toothless' path from when he'd run away earlier. Finally, they arrived at a big, black rock. "Your dragon's an idiot," said Tuffnut, gloating. "There's nothing here."
Toothless just snapped his tail fin at the arrogant boy while leading Hiccup around the rock to the back. What Hiccup saw made his stomach drop.
