It was a normal day for Hiccup the Night Fury.

"Alright, I got you this time!" Hiccup was chasing a yak by the open fields. The herd dispersed at her arrival but there was one yak that couldn't get away from her. She tried cornering it but the yak ran towards some evergreen trees. It was then she charged her plasma blast and shot it at a sapling tree in front of the yak, hoping it would fall down and change its course.

However, the yak ran into the forest before the tree could fall. Instead, the sapling fell on top of Hiccup when she couldn't stop her speedy pursuit. "OW!" Hiccup shook her head to remove the sudden shock. The yak stuck out their tongue before trotting away. "Great...Even a yak laughs at me." Hiccup rubbed her head. She slid out from underneath the tree and walked the opposite direction from the forest.

Hiccup peered at the mountain ahead of her. She heard sounds of the Night Furies from afar, enjoying whatever they were doing on that side. "Better grab some herbs for Gothi." She sighed tiredly.

Hiccup flew on top of a cliff and found a good patch of herbs for Gothi. There are certain herbs that were only available on her side so she collected them for when she meets the elder dragon. In return, Gothi and another Night Fury called Gobber give her fish which saves Hiccup from hunting. Now you must be wondering why Hiccup is the only Night Fury that resided on this side of the island?

She nipped at the stems of the plants while recalling the day she and her mother first arrived on the island. Her mother was gravely injured from getting away from the Red Death but at the time of her arrival, she wasn't welcomed. The Night Furies gathered to shoo her and the Red Death away from their home, but the Alpha's mate attempted to help Hiccup's mother and her. However, the Red Death killed the Alpha's mate and the enraged Alpha killed the Red Death with a plasma blast into the Queen's mouth.

Hiccup hummed to herself remembering how her mother couldn't make it that night, the tears streaming down her eyes as she kept apologizing to her daughter how she was leaving her alone. By the time the Alpha returned, he was still furious. Despite Hiccup's mother passing on, he turned his rage to Hiccup and blamed her for the death of his mate instead. He forced his right hand Gobber to bring her on this side so that 'this hatchling wouldn't cause misfortune for the other Night Furies'.

"I was just a hatchling at the time. There's nothing I can do about it now." She thought as she bunched the herbs in her mouth. She had thought about leaving the island many times when she was little but despite her hunting skills and the scarcity of fish on this side, to her it feels like home. She knew everything there is to know about the neglected side of the island. Hiccup didn't mind being alone besides, she talks to Gobber and Gothi...well Gothi doesn't actually speak, but she still appreciated their time.

As Hiccup was about to bring the herbs back to her cove, she heard a screech not too far away. Her ears perked up in worry as she leaped over to the cliff where the source of the sound was coming from. Hiccup dropped the herbs when she saw something she never thought would happen.

"Are those humans?! I thought they couldn't get past the harsh tides and the Scauldrons out there! How did they end up on Night Wing island unscathed?" Hiccup looked at the said sea not too far off and noticed the tides were calmer than usual. She thought it was strange but before she could think any further, she heard the younger dragon squeak for help from inside a wooden cage.

"Quiet you beast!" One of the human's slammed their axe at the cage, but they fell back horrified when the older Night Fury roared to protect the hatchling. Hiccup growled lowly at the two-legged beings. She was just as angry as the other fury trapped in the cage.

"We gotta hurry and get back to the boat! More might come at this rate and we don't have enough men!" Another human went to help the one that fell, but the male fury continued to roar at them.

The female fury hesitated as she watched the scene unfold. She shook her head to get rid of her anxiety. One mistake could end up hurting them or, she might end up getting caught too. Knowing that those two were more scared than her, Hiccup finally found her resolve as she took a step forward. "I can do this. I won't screw up." The dragoness chanted the same line a few times before diving down the cliff. Hiccup swooped at their direction while the signature shrill from any Night Fury is heard in her descent.

The men below shrieked out: "Night Fury!" "Get down!" It was too late, Hiccup's plasma blast collided against the wooden bars, freeing the two Night Furies. She shook the broken wood that flung onto her while landing in front of them. She opened her wings and emitted the most intimidating roar she could muster.

Since they were just lackeys, the humans screamed while running back to their boat and sailed off as fast as they could. "I did it! Yes!" Hiccup fluttered her wings in celebration but she had to get back to the two dragons. She gnawed on the ropes until it snapped. "Are you two okay?"

"We're okay. Right buddy?" The taller Night Fury glanced at the small hatchling who yipped happily in response.

"What are you two doing out here? I thought no Night Fury from the other side of the mountain comes here?" Hiccup asked them.

"Errr, long story."

I recently fell in love with this series so I'm pretty new to the fandom. Please treat me kindly! :D Since I usually do fanfic's of another series on a different account (this isn't my main, I just made this recently) I'm just posting this fic here as more of a 'fun stress relief kind of thing' because the things I usually type on my main are usually overly complex, unique and long. I think not a lot of people look at them anymore now since I think the fandom is dying anyway. I just wanted to do something simple for once and not feel pressured by anything and let my imagination go wild (cause I always plan out my stories, this one I'm just going with the flow). I know I did more telling than showing in this chapter and I don't usually do this (showing is always better fellow writers) but hopefully it won't happen in later chapters...if I do end up continuing. If there are any mistakes, please let me know! However if this fic doesn't work out, I'm just gonna delete it anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
