This is Berk a very small island but big enough to contain dragons. We use to be at war with them but that's another story. That's me Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third and Toothless he's a night fury there's many dragons around here but only one night fury.
I did a spin on Toothless the wind hit my hair. This is the life. I saw the skies going round and round then we stopped we finally did a spin without me having to get hurt.
"Yes finally!" I shouted in the joy. Toothless wanted to celebrate to he threw fire out of his mouth. Ugh… not again. I duck but still manage to get burn a bit I saw he found it hilarious. "I think that's enough flying for today," I told him he gave out a whine. I pat his head in empathy. "I know bud but we can't fly forever," I told him. I wish we could. We reach the ground I saw Astrid land with Stormfly.
"Hey Hiccup," Astrid told me. I couldn't help but to put a silly smile. I saw Toothless laugh he gave me a smirk. That's my girlfriend Astrid and her dragon.
"Hey M'lady," I told her she smiled.
"How do you feel about you know," She told me.
"I'm all right don't worry," I replied. Today is my mom birthday she passed away years ago. Toothless saw my change of mood he purred I pat his head. I wish I could remember her bit more all I know her name is Vallaharama. I left as Astrid flew away. That's Stoick the Vast chief of the tribe also-."Hey Dad," I saw he wasn't much in the mood either. He gave a cough.
"So you went to fly Toothless," Dad pointed it out.
"Yes of course," I answered. I saw the pain in my Dad's eyes.
"I have to go," He told me and left he gave Toothless a stare. I sigh I walk inside my home. I take out my notebook do scribbles no inspiration came in mind. Toothless did a couple circles lied down to sleep.
"Hiccup," I jumped I turn around see Gobber.
"Oh hi," I say drop my notebook. Gobber is my mentor and my Dad's friend.
"Is your father, you know like … sad?" He asked.
"Um yes he locked himself in his room," I told him. I remember the way he stared at Toothless. Gobber was doing the same thing. Toothless seem very frighten and confused about this. Gobber quickly saw me looking at him.
"Nice drawing you got there Hiccup I have to go Goliath kind off pooped in front of your house," He told me quickly left. I went to get some food in the kitchen I saw Dad he stared at Toothless.
"Hiccup can you keep Toothless outside just for today?" Dad asked me.
"Why?" I asked Toothless always ate here and sometimes Stoick will throw him some food and Toothless would catch.
"Son," He told me I quickly took him outside. I sat down quickly. "Hiccup you want to go to the graveyard with me?" He asked I nodded my head and stood up. We went walking like always Toothless came along with me.
"Toothless um….. You better stay sorry bud," I told him he whined sat down look at me angrily. I followed Dad we reach a tombstone we both stare at it. After long time of silence I made up my mind. "Dad, why are you being," I paused and thought of the right word," different with Toothless?"
"Hiccup I think it's time I told you this," He told me he didn't look directly at me.
"I'm listening," I answered him.
"You know your mother died because the flu," Dad told me, "well I lied." I was shocked.
"So how did she die then?" I asked him.
"It was a dragon raid like any other day you were just barely one year old. She was minding the torches taking down a Monstrous Nightmare. She always took them down with one hand. When you fight a Monstrous Nightmare comes with a price a Night Fury. Oh she hated does when she was about to slash its head came the Night Fury it threw a thunderbolt." He stopped he didn't have to go on. I already knew what happen.
"Dad do you think it was Toothless?" I asked him nervously.
"I don't know Hiccup I was going to tell you last year. I knew if I told you would seek revenge or I don't know. But then you know the whole dragon war ending," He told me. I tried not to panic what if Toothless killed my mom. How old was Toothless anyway?
"Dad its okay," I answered him. Silence came sweeping down on us. Dad began to cough really hard he almost lost balance. "Dad are you okay?" I asked.
"Yes I just need to rest," He said and left I stared at the tomb.
"I'm sorry mom," I apologized I had probably befriended the reason why she's not here. I was sad the only memory I have of her came to my head.
"Oh my sweet little Hiccup so small you are you'll do great things," She would sing to me. Rock me back and forth slowly. "I know you will," She left a kiss in my forehead.
Toothless ran to me and started licking me." Toothless stop," I tried my best not to be too tough on him it wasn't his fault. Maybe it wasn't him. Maybe he did it but the queen dragon had control on him. Wasn't his fault I couldn't help but wonder? Toothless is the only Night Fury his species must be extinct he may be the only one.
