Bleberist,an elder Nadder,flew alongside his herd to go fishing for the Queen. The Queen is an unruly and cruel beast who was feared by many dragons. Any who defied her were eaten to 'reinforce' the rules of the nest. That is how she kept her power over the nest. Centuries ago, the nest and it's dragons were protected by Night Furies. The, one day, the Queen came, killed off the Night Furies one by one, and took the nest by force. What was once a beautiful island was now a charred land, with a dormant volcano in the center. But, by some unknown reason, she missed a single Night Fury egg, buried deep into the soil. The egg to the Former Night Fury leaders themselves. After the Queen took control, the Skrills took it upon themselves to take the egg and leave it on a safe island, far from the nest.

AN: Hello everyone! This is my first fanfic, so some advice is always welcome. This chapter just covers the background of how I think the nest got taken over by the Red Death. The chapters will get gradually longer. Please, send in some ideas if you can and i'll try to put it in this fanfic. This takes place before and during HTTYD and follows Toothless on his journeys from Hatch-ling to teenager. Anyways! That's all for now! Have a nice day.
