Prologue

Hiccup shivered, sneezing as he rummaged through the baskets of that day's catch, wiping his nose with one arm, teeth chattering. "These days feel colder than usual for the season, right, bud?" He glanced to Toothless who's attention was riveted on the fish glistening in the late afternoon light, pink tongue lolling out happily with a promised meal. Hiccup rolled his eyes.

Carefully storing most of it away safely, he kept one off to the side for his friend. Suddenly, a deep growl penetrated the boy's thoughts. Glancing back again with confusion, the dragon was no longer watching the fish, but staring at the sky, tail lashing slightly, metal clinking on the ice. Following his gaze, hiccup thought he saw a streak of blue in the sky, but it was gone faster than he could blink. He turned back to Toothless who was no longer growling, but still fixed at the clouds.

"What is it bud?" He ran his fingers against the warm scales of the night fury's head, who in turn, nuzzled his hand affectionately. "You're acting odd... Maybe I should let Gobber have a look at you." Toothless looked quite unimpressed with this idea, sitting back on his haunches. Laughing, he shook his head. "Alright, alright. No checkups. Now, lets get this inside so we can all have supper. I'm starved"
Yet he still felt worried, even as they made their way into the house.

Dreams came that night. Strange dreams of blue eyes, piercing as the moon, and a hand as cold as ice brushing the hair from his face. Comforting and unsettling all at once. As it began to fade, a laugh full of joy carried on the wind outside and it to, faded as hiccup woke abruptly, jolting upright in bed. Eyes wide, he scanned the room for reassurance, trembling fingers gripping the wool blankets tightly as his heart beat a rapid tempo within his heaving chest. He could still feel those icy fingers against his cheek
