CHAPTER ONE

Hiccup glided along effortlessly. Miles above the ground, speeding across the sky on the back of his dragon, Toothless. He concentrated on the path ahead, working the lever that made his dragon's tail fin move in and out, so he may fly.

The beautiful coniferous landscape rushed beneath him, as he roamed the ancient island of Berk. Then, in an instant, the land gave way to sparkling blue ocean waves that seemed to stretch on forever. He looked back. The island behind him shrank into the horizon.

As Hiccup faced forward, he was greeted by a fresh rush of wind in his face. He grinned widely. He was feeling very happy. Ever since he woke up in bed to find his dragon, Toothless, in his room, his life had taken a turn for the better. Because finding toothless in his room meant that the entire Viking island of Berk had come to accept living in harmony with the dragons that they once hunted passionately.

After he woke up on that morning, he found out that the leg that he had lost the night before was replaced with an iron peg of Gobber's own design, complete with spring action. And best of all, Astrid Hofferson had kissed him … for the second time.

He had liked Astrid since he first saw her walking from a bar riot without a scratch on her. She was acrobatic, tough, and beautiful. Everything he was not. But somehow, for reasons that he still didn't understand, she had finally accepted his love.. But he didn't question it. He just liked it. He liked her. He loved her. He loved the way she punched him hard on the shoulder, and then leaned in to kiss him straight in his lips right afterward. And it wasn't like she was desperate, or giving herself away. It was a quick kiss, just enough to get him dizzy. Any longer, and he would pass out. He was feeling good.

It had been a week since then, and things had gone much the same. Flying with toothless, living in harmony with the dragons, and, of course, receiving punches and kisses from Astrid. He sighed dreamily. His dragon groaned silently.

'She's just a human', Thought Toothless. 'All you humans look the same.'

Hiccup, who didn't speak dragon, paid him no attention. He just rode on dreamily, his eyes only half open. He didn't notice that he was entering a foggy area. He paid no attention to anyone, or anything, and just thought of his love, Astrid. He thought about her, and the enigma of why she would kiss him, when before, she hadn't even looked at him. He continued in this dreamy trance, until he was sharply awakened by his delicate Viking instincts. He heard it first, a distant flapping noise. Toothless noticed it too. His pupils narrowed to slits, his ears flattened back vigilantly. His lips curled into a snarl. Hiccup heard it getting louder and louder.

Then he saw it. It was a blurry shadow in the fog. Slowly but surely, it got larger and larger. Finally, it emerged, and flapped past quickly. Hiccup barely saw it, an enormous blurry dragon flapping on past. It was a monstrous nightmare. And it was in terrible pain. It writhed through the air, shrieking in horror. And as it tumbled on past through the sky, hiccup noticed something that the average Viking would not. He noticed a small but deep gash, exposing raw flesh. Blood oozed slowly out of it.

"What kind of creature would attack a monstrous nightmare?"

RULE NUMBER ONE-

Lesson nearned:

If you want to keep a good relationship with your viking girlfriend, then you need to think about her. Alot. It will help you to appreciate her. If you don't, well... you'd better hope she's not as tough as Astrid. And if she is, then... you'd better hope you're not as wimpy as Hiccup.
