A/N Okay, hi everyone! I just want to say that I am really nervous about how this story is going to turn out, I mean, I'm no Catherynne M. Valente, and I can't exactly use her main character's personality for Hiccup, so just bear with me. Please?

DISCLAIMER: I do not own HTTYD or Fairyland, all credit where it belongs. I only own my characters and the plotline.

Chapter One

"I think he's ready. What do you think?" The Gold Wind turned to his steed, Summer, the Lioness of Dry Gusts.

She growled and pawed at a cloud-beetle before answering.

"Yes. That Night Fury should come to, I think. Considering we only chose him because of his wonderful stubborness in making friends with...Toothless."

She said the word as though tasting it, as a snake tastes the air.

The Gold Wind sat up from the cloud he was laying on, causing Summer to hiss with displeasure, for his head had been resting on her flank.

"Very well," said the Gold Wind, clapping his canary-gloved hands once, or twice perhaps. I do not remember. "We shall need two clocks. Summer, my dear friend?"

The great cat stood up, or perhaps just sat up. I do not remember. (The Jarlhoppe Mines can do strange things to one's memory.)

Summer opened her mouth wide, and deep in the depths, two shapes began to form. What were they? They were clocks.

Soon they were completely formed, and the Gold Wind snatched them out with his canary hands, and gently laid them down on the cloud. Summer snapped her mouth shut, and the two stared at the clocks.

One was made of ebony, and the face, numbers, hands, and pendulum were silver. The arrows on the hands were purple-fizzling electricity, and the pendulum was a glowing crescent moon. The Gold Wind grunted in satisfaction, and Summer purred, "The Moon has had a hand in this, We will honor her tonight. Along the base of the clock was a silver plate, inscribed with Noche Oscura. "So that is the dragon's true name," Summer said with the faintest hint of a growl in her voice.

"But what of the other?" asked the Gold Wind. He sounded puzzled. Summer looked.

The other did not look like a clock at all. It was perhaps the size of a small pocketwatch, but it had four hands. On one hand, which was as red as blood, was the letter N. The next two told the time, and the last, which was short and fat, had an engraving of a crown wreathed in flames on it. The only number on the clock was twelve. It looked raggedy and careworn and much-used. But on a shiny, glittering plaque on the band around the clock was written in copper-flaming letters, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III.

Summer shrugged and batted at the iron chain dangling from the clock. "It has his name on it. It is his clock."

"Yes, I suppose."The Gold Wind replied, staring hard at the clock. "Well, let us send them there."

Summer sighed.

"I wish we could go. I miss my brother, Iago, the Panther of Rough Storms."

"I know, my friend," the Gold Wind said, stroking his Lioness of Dry Gusts. "But we are barred from Fairyland. Now, let us send these two there."

Summer opened her mouth again and breathed on the clocks. The air around them heated up.

The Gold Wind appeared to do nothing, but around them great bellows of wind started shaking the clocks as the temperature continued to rise. Suddenly the clocks rose into the air and each gave a tick louder than a Wyvern's roar and vanished in a blast of hot air.

"Well," said the Gold Wind, blowing his fingers as if they were cold. "according to those clocks it is one second past midnight. They have until midnight again."

"Yes, but we do not know how fast or slow their clocks may run." Summer pointed out. The Gold Wind laughed and ran his hand though the fur on her back, and she purred.

"Ah, my lioness, but how much fun they shall have there!"

Far away, in a place called The Lonely Gaol, two new clocks happily ticked and gloomily tocked with all the others.

A/N Yay! end of the first chapter! What do you guys think? Good? Bad? And yes, I used the name Noche Oscura for Toothless. I'm sorry! I forget your name but I'm sorry. All rights for that name go to the user who invented it. Reviews mean chapters up faster. :)
