Alright! The first chapter for the fourth story! Let it begin! And leave a review! Change will have the same schedule as Mistake; a chapter every Tuesday and Saturday. I should also say that Change is going to be MUCH shorter than the first three stories.

Chapter one: Heir to the Tribe of Night Warriors

Astrid walked through the village, admiring the new buildings. It had only been three months, but the events involving Drago Bludvist felt like a distant dream. She stopped for a moment to look up at the newly made statue of Stoick the Vast. Hiccup ordered for it to be build a week into repairs. It looked amazing sitting up next to the Great Hall. The sun had come up not that long ago and Astrid was returning from a "before morning" walk. She turned and walked to her house. She opens the door. "Dad?" her father was sitting alone at the dinner table.

"There you are Astrid," he smiled, "You took off much earlier this morning than usual. Come, sit down. I have some wonderful news."

"Oookay?" Astrid hesitated; the last time they had "news" for her she ended up as a slave. "What is it?" she sat down, "Where's mom?"

"She's out back giving Stormy a bath," He explained. Her dad looked at her with all of the joy in the world; maybe this news wasn't to bad? "You know how Hiccup left last night for the Annual Treaty Signin' with the Beserkers?" he asked.

"Yeah, I can't believe that it's that time of the year already."

"Well, he stopped by here before left," he explained, "He took me quit by surprise if I'm honest. Hiccup asked for your hand in marriage."

Astrids heart skipped a beat as she jumped from her seat. "Really!?" she nearly shrieked.

"Yes he did," her father smiled, "You'll be married in three months times."

"I can't believe it!" Astrid hugged her father than kissed him on the cheek, "Thank you!"

He chuckled, "I'm glad that your happy with this one."

Astrid ran out of the house with more energy than she's ever had in her life. She rounded her house and found her mother just finishing the bath. "Mom! Mom! Mom!"

Her mother turned around. "Well I can see that he's told you," she chuckled.

'Told her what?' Stormy cocked his head.

Astrid hugged her dragon, she had so much energy suddenly, "Hiccup and I are getting married!"

Stormy lit up, 'Alright! That's great!'

Astrid patted her dragon then took off into the Village.

"Whoa now!"her mother called out to her, "Where are you going now?"

"To my friends!" Astrid yelled back.

"Okay, but don't go tell he entire village! That's Hiccups job for when he gets back!"

Astrid rolled her eyes, "Fiiiine!" Then she took off again.

O

Hiccup and Toothless flew over the open sea back to Berk. The Singin' had gone well and Hiccup was happy to see the buildings all rebuilt. Sharpshot, Hiccups Terrible Terror, was curled up in front of Hiccup, snoozing away. "So Toothless," Hiccup yawned a little, "How's Raven?"

'Eh, grumpy,' Toothless sighed, 'She's been demanding fish all the time. I thought I was the Alpha!?'

Hiccup laughed, "Have you figured out why?"

'Mmm...no. She really won't let anyone touch her.'

"Well she's your mate," Hiccup pointed out, "Shouldn't you know?"

'Yeah, but...eh...speaking of mates,' Toothless glanced back and gave Hiccup a grin.

"What?"

'Oh don't pretend like you didn't go somewhere before we left,' Toothless said with a bit of sass, 'I know that you went to Astrids house. I'm so happy for you Hiccup!'

Hiccup chuckled, "Alright, yes. We're gonna get married in three months."

Toothless smiled his toothless smile and chuckled his Night Fury laugh, 'I'm a little clueless on human marriage. When are you suppose to have kids?'

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Hiccup stopped that train of thought, "I-It is way to early for something like that!"

Toothless chuckled, 'I'm just teasing you bud.'

They flew in silence for only five minutes before Toothless' ears suddenly perked up. "What is it Toothless?"

'A dragon...it's in trouble,' Toothless turned his head to the right, 'That way.'

Hiccup listened, "But...I don't hear anything."

'Neither do I,' Toothless admitted, 'I can sense it. It's because I'm the Alpha.'

"Whoa really?" Hiccup was amazed, "Cool." But then he got serious, "Come on. Let's go help it." They took a sharp turn and flew off in the direction that Toothless was sensing it from. A few minutes later they were flying over and island. It looked to be Thorrock Island. "Oh you have to be kidding me," Hiccup groaned. Down in the forest below they saw a group of Dragon Hunters cornering a young Deadly Nadder. The dragon looked hurt and scared. "Really?" Hiccup rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Even after the event with Drago?"

'Why do their clothing seem familiar?' Toothless wondered. They hovered in the air in hope of a good plan yet unknown to the group of Hunters behind them.

One of them readied his bow. He looked back at his friend. "Send a Terror to the boss," he chuckled. Then he lined up his aim, "We have the Alpha!" He released the Dragon Root Arrow. It flew through the air and hit Toothless just behind his back leg. Toothless yelped as the Dragon Root effects cam fast.

"Whoa!" Hiccup shouted as they fell out of the sky.

'Waaa! What's going on!?' Sharpshot jumped from his sleep. They hit the ground hard. Toothless moaned in pain.

The Hunters, who had just captured the Nadder, quickly turned and charged them.

Hiccup jumped to his feet, ignited Inferno, and was ready to fight. But suddenly another arrow flew through the sky and landed in between him and the Hunters. A ball was attached to it. When it hit the ground the ball exploded and smoke filled the area fast. "Smothering Smokebreath smoke," Hiccup coughed. He tried to wave the smoke away fast and Sharpshot flapped his wings hard.

When the smoke did clear Hiccup saw that the Hunters had Toothless and were taking him. "Hey!" Hiccup shouted, "Get your hands off of my dragon!" He charged them but another arrow came down and filled the air with more smoke. Hiccup was forced to step back as he coughed. This smoke lasted longer and when it finally disappeared the Hunters and Toothless were gone. "Sky Sharpshot!" Hiccup ordered quickly, "Find them!"

Sharpshot took off without a second thought and Hiccup ran off in the direction they were heading when he saw them last. After a few minutes of running through the forest Sharpshot flew down to Hiccup. He circled around his head, 'This way!'

Hiccup followed Sharpshot to a beach. He spotted their ship a few meters out into the ocean. "Give me back my dragon!" Hiccup yelled at the top of his lungs. But all he could do was watch the ship leave. He wasn't a fast swimmer and he couldn't ride Sharpshot to them. "AHHHH!" Hiccup screamed, "I'm getting sick and tired of Dragon Hunters!" He threw Inferno on the ground in rage.

'Getting angry isn't going to help,' Sharpshot landed on Hiccups head, 'Send me back to Berk. I'll get help.'

Hiccup took deep breaths, "Right. Be fast."

'I shall!' Sharpshot jumped off of Hiccups head and flew out to sea. Leaving Hiccup on the island.

O

Hiccup stared out at the sea; it had been close to two hours since he sent Sharpshot to Berk. He prayed that he'd be able to get to Toothless before anything bad happened.

"Whoa! Whoa! Tracker! Tracker whoa!"

Hiccup turned to see who it was. "Wa!" he shouted as a green and white Titan Deadly Nadder suddenly appeared from nowhere and tackle straight into him. A figure was flung from the dragon's back. The Nadder pinned Hiccup to the ground as it sniffed at him wildly. Hiccup tried to push the dragon off him, but it didn't move.

"Ohhhh….Tracker! What in the world!?"

Hiccup looked behind him and saw an older girl slumped over a fallen tree. He noted her black, scaly armor.

She slowly pushed herself up. "I am so feeling this in the morning," she groaned. The girl stood up and rubbed her stomach as she turned around. "Tracker stop!" she gasped. She ran over and pushed her dragon off of Hiccup, "I am so sorry. I don't know what got into her."

Hiccup stood up and whipped off the Nadder saliva, "No it's fine. This isn't the first time a dragon has tackled me to the ground."

The girl pushed her dragon back some more then looked at Hiccup, "Wait….do I know you?"

"Uh, I don't think so," Hiccup didn't recognise her.

"Would you happen to be…." she thought hard, "Hiccup Horrendus Haddock the….Third?"

"Yeah," Hiccup stepped back a bit, " How do you know that?"

Suddenly the girl lit up like a Snoggletog tree. She bolted forward, grabbed both of Hiccup's hands, then started spinning him in a circle. "The Hiccup!? The one with the Night Fury!?"

"Uh...y-yeah?"

The girl released Hiccup and turned back to her dragon. "That's why you went crazy!" she smiled, "I can't believe that we actually found him!" She hugged her dragon's snout.

'I knew that I smelled a Night Fury!' the Deadly Nadder finally spoke.

"Um...excuse me," Hiccup interrupted their celebration, "Would you mind telling me who you are?"

"Oh….right," the girl released her dragon and turned around. She cleared her throat, "My name is Luna Hild Gounouf the First, O Heir to the Tribe of Night Warriors and First Granddaughter to the infamous Brynjar the Powerful, uh, you can just call me Luna.

"Wait...did you say Night Warriors?" Hiccup stopped her.

"Yes. Why? Have you heard of us?" Luna lit up a little more.

"Yeah, my mom mentioned your tribe before," Hiccup explained, "She said that you told her that the Night Fury was the dragon of your people...uh...my mom is the women with the Stormcutter."

"Oh yeah," Luna nodded her head, "I remember her. I was nine years old when she showed up."

"She also said something about a "Right of Passage"," Hiccup informed Luna.

"Oh that," Luna said casually, "My people must go through it to be considered a member of our tribe."

"What do you have to do?" Hiccup asked.

Luna smiled big, "I'm glad you'd asked! You see, when someone from my tribe is born they are given a dragon, uh, baby dragon. They spend their whole lives with that dragon learning to become a Dragon Tamer. Then, when they're old enough, they must go through the "Right of Passage". They have to go out into the world and tame a unique dragon! Like a Skrill or Snow Wraith."

"And what dragon are you going for?"

Luna looked at Hiccup and smiled even bigger, "A Night Fury!"

"Night Fury?" Hiccup nearly gasped.

"Yep," Luna nodded, "As you already know the Night Fury is the Dragon of my people. Hence the Night in Night Warriors. But, it's been a thousand years since my people have communed with them."

Hiccup instantly forgot about the situation he was in, "Your….people communed with Night Furies?"

"Use to," she corrected him. Luna turned around walked to her dragon. She patted Tracker then turned back to Hiccup, "Night Furies are migrational dragons. When it gets too warm they fly somewhere more colder. But…..a thousand years ago they didn't come back. We really don't know why."

"Do you think something might of happened to them?" Hiccup felt his heart sink a little.

"Maybe," Luna said bluntly, "I'd love to witness their magic."

"What do you mean by "magic"?" Hiccup asked.

Luna chuckled, "Well, from the stories I've heard it's obvious that you've experienced their magic many times! It's the bond. Stronger than a bond with any other dragon! Night Furies are dragons that can change someone's whole world!"

"You're right on that," Hiccup agreed.

"The magic is shown through their love, "Luna continued, "their personality, their loyalty. They're a dragon that nobody can ever forget." Then Luna's face changed from joy to sadness, "But my people have forgotten."

"How?"

"Well, it's been a thousand years," Luna reminded Hiccup, "They remember Night Furies, obviously, but it's equally obvious that they've forgotten their magic. The feel of it. The joy it brings. That's why I'm looking for Night Furies. I need to-I must-find some and bring them back home."

"Some?" Hiccup questioned, "You want to find more than one?"

"Yeah," Luna nodded, "A girl and a boy. I want to repopulate the dead flock at my home. Which is why when I've been looking for you! You didn't find one you found five! Can I see them?"

"Huh?"

"The Night Furies!" Luna puppy eyed Hiccup, "I think you named him...Toothless, right?"

"Oooh, yeah," Hiccup chuckled nervously as he remembered, "Uh...about that…"

The joy was instantly sucked from Luna's face, "What? What happened?"

"Uh," Hiccup tried to avoid eye contact, "You see...I was on my way back home when Toothless got hit by a Dragon Root Arrow. And….uh... some...Dragon Hunters had took him." Hiccup readied himself; he expected her to explode.

But instead he watched as Luna took in the situation and suddenly grab his hand and yank him towards Tracker. She climbed onto her dragon and that was when Hiccup noticed that there was no saddle. "On," Luna patted the spot behind her.

"Excuse me?" Hiccup didn't follow.

"Get on," she repeated, "We're going to rescue him. Now. On." She patted the spot again.

"What? But I've sent a Terror Mail to Berk," Hiccup explained.

"Nope. It'll be too late, "Luna said bluntly, "Come on." She stuck out a hand.

"O-Okay," Hiccup reached up and took her hand. He climbed onto the Titan and readied himself for take off.

"Alright," Luna patted her dragon, "Tracker. Rescue."

Tracker's calm demeanor suddenly shifted to serious and she shot up into the air. Hiccup nearly fell off at the unexpected speed. How did Luna not fall off!? He reached forward and grabbed Luna's shoulders. He held on tight as Tracker began to circle in the sky. Her armor felt familiar somehow.

Luna laughed, "Impressed?"

"Yeah," Hiccup got back his composer, "I've never ridden on a Deadly Nadder so fast."

Luna smiled at the compliment. Then she turned to Tracker, "You've got the scent?"

"Already?" Hiccup was amazed again.

"Yep," Luna patted Tracker, "Let's go!"

They flew off and within five minutes they had reached the Draogn Hunting ship. Luna looked down at it. "Just one?" she noted, "Seems simple. Alright, Tracker. Attack their sails!"

"Wait, shouldn't you think of a plan first?" But before Hiccup could protest anymore Tracker shot down at the Hunters.

"Dragon Rider!" one of them shouted They scrambled to get their weapons.

Tracker released her fire and the sails went up in flames. Then she flew past the ship at blinding speed. She did a u-turn and flew back at the ship. She flew towards the right side of the ship before stopping. Tracker let out a loud and mighty roar; both the air and water shook with it.

One of the Hunters, startled by the roar, fired a Dragon Root Arrow. It sank into Trackers side. Tracker landed on the ship as if it wasn't there. Hiccup didn't understand.

Luna hopped off of her dragon. The Hunters readied their weapons, but Tracker growled and they lowered them. Luna walked over to one of the Hunters and grabbed him by his collar. "Where's the Night Fury!?" she demanded.

"D-Down below," the man trembled.

Luna released him, "Bring him up. And free any other dragon you might have!"

The man quickly turned and ran down below deck.

Hiccup slid off of Tracker, stunned, "Luna, How..."

"This isn't the first time I've faced Dragon Hunters," she informed him, "I've...kind of made a reputation with them."

"Wow," Hiccup liked it, "B-But what about Tracker? She got hit by a Dragon Root Arrow."

"Oh that?" Luna walked over and pulled it out; Tracker winced at the sharp pain. Luna turned to Hiccup, "She's been hit by them so many times that her body has built up an immunity to them."

"Wow," Hiccup repeated.

Suddenly a Deadly Nadder, a Monstrous Nightmare, and a Gronckle exploded from below deck. They flew away quickly. Following them slowly up the stairs was a pain-filled Toothless. "Toothless!" Hiccup rushed over to his dragon. Toothless groaned.

"Quick Tracker!" Luna ran over to Toothless, "Hiccup help me keep his mouth open."

"O...Okay?" he did as she instructed.

Tracker then came over. She leaned forward and spit some of her saliva into Toothless' mouth.

"Eww," Hiccup said, "Why she do that?"

"I said that she built up an immunity to the root, right?" Luna closed Toothless' mouth.

"Yeah?"

"That also means that her body is now making an antidote for it too," Luna explained.

'She's right,' Toothless could feel the pain going away, 'I feel way better!'

Hiccup smiled and hugged his friend, "I'm so glad your okay bud."

"I think it'll be safe to throw these Hunters in jail," Luna though out loud.

"Hiccup!"

They turned to see the Riders flying towards them. "Well," Hiccup stood up, "Now we have enough dragons to take them there."
