There he was…falling into the flames. Hiccup could feel the flames lick his body as if tasting their new coming food. Of course, since he was falling into blackness and certain he would die, he saw his life flash.
The days of his childhood when he was just but another child were the first. Yet even then he was considered different. He wouldn't fight like the other boys, he would always walk around. This was probably the main reason for his bully problems.
The next was his upbringing with his father. From the time his mother died from a sickness, to which everyone blamed the dragons for, to now. Seeing each day as he always got in the way, hindering everyone, and disappointed everyone as a Viking.
But then a happy thought came to him. His mother, a big girl, yet one of the slimmer ones. Her hair was of the same dirt brown as his own. But her eyes were the most clear. They held in them a sort-of loving stare to them. Each time she looked at him, he felt her warm embrace, one he knew he would never feel for real.
His final thoughts of life went to his dragon, Toothless. By now, he knew that meeting toothless was, in a way, fate by Odin's hand. From their first flights together, to their little activities, they grew close. From the mimicking of his drawings, to the facial expressions, Hiccup could see that Toothless was special.
But that was when he saw it, the eyes. Every memory of toothless, every look Hiccup got from Toothless, was familiar. The emerald green eyes that looked at him with curiosity, caution, and a sense of danger at first; but now was different, now they held a loving star, and a slight sense of shyness. The black scales on the body made Toothless somewhat skinny with slight curves. If he had to guess, at that moment, Toothless seemed a kind of cute, and feminine, all wrapped in a tom-boyish attitude. "But that's impossible…or is it?" he thought to himself.
The flames were now swallowing him, darkness consuming him. But he felt no burns, no pain, just an embrace…a warm, tender, scaly embrace. He didn't know if it was intuition, or a connection he had to Toothless, but he, in that instant, knew that his dragon, was a dragoness.
