A month had passed since Drago Bludvist's attack on Berk of which all the village had finally managed to clean up the mess, to relax Hiccup went flying to clear his head of his troubles of which instead of random flying randomly he chose to finally pay his respects to the Bewilderbeast that his mother lived with. Along the way he ran into some pirates who tried to rob him and kidnap him for a bounty, luckily Toothless managed to help Hiccup most of the time but in the last minute two pirates had tried to stab Toothless Hiccup stopped one with his sword inferno but the last one cut open his hand. In pure anger from the sight of his best friend wounded Toothless fired a powerful plasma blast to the pirates thus also setting the ship ablaze, Hiccup thanked Toothless for helping him but he was uncomfortable with the fact that Toothless killed those two yet he knew it was for the best. Going through his saddle bag he tried to find something to wrap up his hand but unfortunately he didn't have anything stray cloth to wrap up his hand, looking at his wound he found it strange that his wound followed the grove of his hand. Letting loose a grunt Toothless told Hiccup that they had arrived on the island where the massive Bewilderbeast body lay, patting Toothless Hiccup soon directed him to a place to land. As the two were landing Hiccup noticed that the body was in a different position as when he last saw it, surprisingly it showed no sign of decomposition yet its skin appeared to hold life within them. Upon finally touching the ground Hiccup approached the giant body, he then stretched out since it was a long flight from berk to this island.

"Well bud here's the king who my mother served all my life, in truth I had some resentment towards him but now looking how things ended up. I actually want to pay my respects to him, he was a very good king." Hiccup then went through his bag and pulled out a clump of dragon nip with a small bouquet of flowers, walking over to the body he placed them on the ground. Looking around the body he noticed that there was a large metal piece lodge within the Bewilderbeast's skin, asking Toothless for some help the two ripped out the large piece of metal out of the giants flesh. A stream of warm blood steadily came from the wound along with a grunt of discomfort, Hiccup was amazed at the sight of the massive kings being alive. Placing his hand on the wound he just opened he checked for a pulse but in all his excitement Hiccup used his wounded hand to touch the wound, the moment the blood touched his open wound he immediately felt as if his veins were filled with molten Gronkle iron. Hiccup began to wither in pain as he felt the pain spread quickly through his body, the pain suddenly grew more intense as the pain reached his eyes to which felt as if something was changing in his eyes. Eventually the pain began to fade slowly of which left Hiccup panting and sweating, once he was back on his peg leg and his foot he wobbled over to Toothless who gave a concerned look.

"What in Odin's beard was that about, that was the most painful physical thing I ever had to go through while I was awake." Hiccup said shaking his head, his eyes were sore but more so he felt as if something about them changed. "To tell you the truth Hiccup I was not expecting that sort of pain to happen to you, I thought you were dying but luckily you're still whole." Said a voice that was new to Hiccup, hearing it he went on guard drawing out Inferno. "What's wrong Hiccup, I don't smell any intruders in the area. What could be the issue this time, look if we're done here can we go back to flying." Hiccup then focused where the voice came from of which he turned to Toothless, folding down inferno and putting it back on his side before he went on to talk to Toothless. "Bud, did you just talk to me or have I finally died from some sort of infection?" Hiccup said looking directly at Toothless who gave him a weird look, he opened and closed his mouth a few times before he gave hiccup and honest answer. "Hiccup I've been able to talk since we met, I just know you can't understand a word I say since you're not a dragon." Toothless said clear as sunlight, he soon made Hiccup fall over unconscious from shock. Waking up some time later Hiccup asked what had happened to him of which Toothless said he didn't know, suddenly the Bewilderbeast began to groan in pain. The massive creature soon opened its eyes to see Hiccup, adjusting itself it looked Hiccup directly in the eyes before it spoke with strain in its voice. "Young one, tell me what exactly your issue is and allow my wisdom to help ease your mind." A deep and mighty booming voice said to Hiccup, he then looked to Toothless who before he answered what the King told him.

"Okay well to be honest great Bewilderbeast, I came here under the impression that you were dead. I wanted to show my respect to you and all but when I pulled out that piece of metal from your body and your blood pooled out. I placed my hand to check if you were still alive of which in all the excitement I forgot about the wound on my hand, once your blood touched my open wound I felt as if hot molten metal entered my veins." Hiccup said showing his hand to the great white dragon, Toothless wanted to say something but he was distracted by Hiccups eyes and the fact of what was wrong with his hand. Where the wound would have been stood nothing but a clean palm, in sheer amazement he examined hand for any sign of healing but no luck. "What in Odin's beard is going on, I had a gash in my palm from some pirate." He looked to both his hands before he looked to the two dragons in front of him, he then sighed walking around the beach Hiccup found that he must be losing his mind. "This is just great, I can understand dragons now and what's worse is that I had to go crazy to do so." Hiccup said making Toothless stop chewing his armpit while the Bewilderbeast raised his head slightly, Toothless then approached Hiccup and tested to see if Hiccup was lying. "Hiccup are you telling me that you can finally hear my voice, that I can finally reach you?" Hiccup nodded yes of which made Toothless backup and looked to the Bewilderbeast to ask what this means, the two then tell Hiccup to approach them. Upon looking into Hiccups eyes the Bewilderbeast found that the legends were true, he then said that he would tell Hiccup the legend but he would first need the help of his fellow dragons.

"Then please allow me to help you out there Bewilderbeast, I mean after all you're a good king." Toothless then let out a roar which soon summoned a massive swarm of dragons all saying "You called is my king." Hiccup looked to all the dragons who then awaited his orders, Toothless then told them to help him move the Bewilderbeast to their home where he could be examined and treated. It surprised the Massive dragon that the new alpha was such a small dragon but he accepted the fact, after he had left them both Hiccup and Toothless alone. "Come on bud let's see if we can salvage anything worth our time, hell I bet we might just find something that could benefit the other dragons." Hiccup said as he mounted Toothless, the young night fury sighed before he took off of which he focused on trying to find a way to tell his best friend about his eyes. "Umm, Hiccup how do I say this nicely. I think that when we get back to our home island, you need to look in a mirror because I think that dragon blood left you with another gift besides healing your wound." Toothless said as he flew around the island. Hiccup nodded not fully listening thinking that he was going crazy, he soon directed Toothless to land near some wreckage of a destroyed dragon trap. Gathering it up he tied it all together with some rope he found in a destroyed ship then asked if Toothless could carry the bundle to Berk. "Sure thing Hiccup though again I will tell you to look into a mirror when we get home, but I feel I'm just wasting my breath since most likely you're just ignoring me." Toothless then got on top of the bundle where he made sure the holding harness above it was in place, joining him was Hiccup who then started to work Toothlesses tail fin.

The two flew for a while without much going on but upon Toothlesses mind dwelled the worry about his best friend, he knew that the island of berk wasn't known for accepting new thing right away of which they would most likely try and chase him away. Nearing the island Toothless saw that the Bewilderbeast laid upon the nearby beach where several of berks Vikings were on guard while Valka stood up for the gentle giant, dropping off the bundle in front of the forge where Gobber dragged it into the forge. Both Chief and alpha then flew to the massive dragon where they began to calm down the people of berk, Hiccup told them that this was a different dragon that attacked them and that it needed help thus Hiccup brought him here to be healed. "I must say young human, you speak with much authority to your people. I must commend you for talking to your people and calming them down, though I worry about what they will do when they see your new eyes." The Bewilderbeast said as he turned over to reveal the many wounds on its under belly, Hiccup ordered Valka and Gobber to begin trying to heal the massive giant. As Hiccups orders were happening Toothless walked to the face of the Bewilderbeast of which he told the giant all that he had missed, he ended the conversation with the fact that if the Bewilderbeast wanted then he could live on this island as long as he understands that he is the Alpha of this island. "I will accept those terms young night fury, though I feel I may be a burden to those who used to live under my rule." The Bewilderbeast said before wincing as Valka applied some herbal paste on the stab wound Hiccup opened when he pulled out that metal fragment. Walking to the front of the of the Bewilderbeast's face where he talked to the giant, hearing that the gentle giant planned on making its nest on the island that Astrid named "Knock-out cavern" Hiccup welcomed the dragon to Berks population. "Before you leave I think you need a name, I feel that your name should be Frost since your scales are white as frost." Hiccup said as he patted the dragons jaw, the dragon accepted the name before he was carried away.

Feeling somewhat accomplished Hiccup removed his helmet and turned to face his people. They all gasped upon seeing his eyes, asking what was wrong Hiccup was brought a shield polished to the point it was a mirror. Looking at his reflection he saw that he had dragon eyes, his usual forest green eyes had changed to dirty yellow slit like eyes of which changed as he expressed emotions. Running to his house he went on ahead and tried to think of how this could have happened to him, suddenly Toothless came barging in with worry in his eyes. "Hiccup, what's wrong. Is your missing leg bothering you or….let me guess, you saw you're new eyes didn't you?" Toothless asked him of which he was too frantic to even fully listen, eventually Toothless just slapped Hiccup with his tail of which made him listen. Toothless listened as they both went over everything up until the change that Toothless remembered, suddenly Hiccup remembered the burning pain he felt when he had that open wound on his hand and touched Frosts blood. Toothless then comes to the conclusion that it must have been his blood that allowed Hiccup to gain dragon eyes along with the ability to talk to dragon, with that realization Hiccup went out to confront his village. Astrid was the first to confront him and demand answers as to why Hiccups eyes were dragon eyes, with a smirk he demanded that all of berk gather in the great hall. As soon as everyone was in the hall Hiccup went on to explain what happened, by the time he finished he told them that the other side effect of Frosts blood was the fact that he could now communicate with dragons.

To demonstrate this fact I will demonstrate by having Sven whisper something to any dragon around anything he chooses, I will the approach the dragon and listen to what they say." With that said silent Sven walked over to a wild Raincutter and whispered something into its ear, when he gave the signal Hiccup turned around and walked to the dragon. Asking the dragon what had silent Sven said (though it sounded like strange dragon grunts and gurgles) Hiccup said that Sven whispered that he took his wife's last yak butter parapet, hearing this Sven's wife pulls out her club and prepares to use it on her husband. Astrid was the first to react to the Hiccups demonstration of which she looked him right in the eyes and found that inside he was still the same awkward man she fell in love with, she then turned to tribe and said that they had nothing to worry about. The village all cheered but they did admit that it will take some to get used to but they will try, Valka soon came in and announced that Frost will be fine but he will need to rest up. "Okay that makes everything a little better, listen up people once Frost is back up on his feet this will mean that we will be able to obtain more food for the dragons and us but not only that it will also mean we have a powerful new ally to help us when we truly need. This dragon is to be treated with as much respect as we can, we all witnessed the power of one of his kind thus I must say that we will be able to fortify our home." Hiccup announced of which made his people chat, they did indeed remember the power of a Bewilderbeast from when Drago Bludvist tried destroy them. Some of them had fear from that experience and from nearly dying, others thought the idea would make berk stronger of which would spread their fame as warriors. In the end Hiccup looked to see Toothless making similar announcement to all his dragons, Toothless then told them that from now on Frost will be their comrade under his rule. Concluding the gathering both Hiccup and Toothless dismissed everyone, choosing to take things slow both the chief and alpha walked home where they came in to find a roaring fire with a large pot cooking a sort of stew.

"What's all this, who started cooking this while I was out?" Hiccup asked but he soon got his answer when Astrid came out with several bowls and some silverware, she had her vest off and her ponytail off her shoulder to back. "Sorry I should have warned you but I wanted to surprise you, I even had Stormfly go have some fun. I tried making some stew my mother taught me to make but I don't know if it's any good, no worries I didn't experiment like I did that one snoggletog I mean grant it I invented a holiday beverage for the dragons but horrible for the Vikings to drink." Astrid said with a smile on her face, looking to Toothless the two of them took a whiff of the stew and found it to be mouth watering. With a smile Hiccup agreed to eat her cooking and Toothless even agreed as well, as she served the food she saw as both chief and alpha drooled over her stew making her smile. The moment both of them tasted the sweet stew they found that their taste buds were in paradise, both of them finished their bowls clean. "Astrid I think you got a recipe from Valhalla, I can't even believe that I was eating food this delicious." Hiccup said handing the bowl to Astrid as he requested more, hearing the compliment made her blush redder than a tomato. "Oh come on Hiccup, it's just a stew no need to go soft on me just yet." Astrid said before she served herself, she and Hiccup ate in a somewhat silent house of which the only noises that could be heard were the sounds of the fire cackling and the sound of Toothless grunt as he ate. When it was all over Hiccup removed his armor and began to help her with the dishes and even the clean up, Hiccup scrubbed alongside Astrid who in turn just couldn't help but smile on her face. Looking into his eyes she saw that nothing truly changed with Hiccup but only his eyes, grant it when she first saw them she was afraid but she loved Hiccup more than she was afraid.

By the time they finished Hiccup planned to head to bed to rest for the next day but deep down he wanted to spend some quality with both Astrid and Toothless, unfortunately he knew that tomorrow he would have to handle his many chiefly duties to attend. Walking up stairs to his bed room he gathered his discarded armor and put it on the desk across the room and soon took off his prosthetic leg where he then set it next to his bed, preparing for bed he heard the swooping noise of Toothless as he came in for the landing. Landing in through the sky light Hiccup had in his home of which he could close by simply pulling a simple pulley system, Toothless walked over to his slab where he heated it to the point it was glowing red and laid upon it. "Good night bud, hopefully tomorrow is better." Hiccup then grabbed his candle and blew it out, looking to Toothless who at the time was chewing on his armpit again. "See you in the morning Hiccup, I hope the great goddess Freya fills your heart with her purifying fire." Toothless then drifted to sleep upon his sleeping slab, several hours passed before Toothless awoke from dream. The dream had told him that he should test Hiccup to see if he is worthy of the greatest gift a dragon can give a rider, even more so Toothless was told by a woman standing with the light to her back. Following his dream he let out a call that summoned all dragons of which he told them to meet around Frost, asking Cloudjumper to help him fly he soon joined the swarm of dragons as they encircled Frost.

"I apologize for calling you all here at such a late hour but I need your help, you see I plan to give my rider the ultimate gift any dragon can give their partner. I need all of your help to make this gift as you all know the legend, in short I plan to make a dragon stone." Toothless announced as he stood in the center of a massive swarm of dragons, they all murmured in response to their alpha's announcement but soon they await his further orders. "As a sign of respect I will allow you all the choice in making this stone, all who decline will not be thought less of nor will they be treated any less with respect. All who will help I thank you from the bottom of my heart, this will be a very difficult project and I expect from all who help me the best. So who will help me, and who will not?" Toothless then looked all around expecting to see some dragon decline but to his surprise, not a single dragon declined his word of which made him make that pride filled stance he took when he first became Alpha. With a loud roar one of every dragon there tore off a single scale, beginning with a large scale from Frost leading all the way down to a terrible terror scale. Once all scales were in a pile Toothless carried all the scales together and had Frost lightly freeze the scales to hold them together, he then had grabbed the bundle and flew as high as he could before he dropped the bundle. As it fell he ordered all dragons to breathe their great fire and other things at it, the fire heated the bundle to the point it glowed so bright that it could have blinded any Viking if they were awake. Once the fire breathers stopped all the dragons who fired water sprayed the glowing bundle of which made it glow with even more colors than normal, from above the changewings and several other dragons fired their acid at the bundle making it change into a stream of colors slowly. The color begins to speed up when all the thunderdrums began to scream around the bundle making its color change a lot faster and even shaping it. Gathering up his Plasma inside his body Toothless soon made his scale glow blue just like when he fought the tortured Bewilderbeast, upon reaching the point he was at his peak he ordered all dragons to cease their blasts. The bundle continued to glow and stream colors rapidly as it fell Toothless locked on to it and fired his strongest blast of plasma at it creating an explosion, Frost then breathed a blast of ice that soon encased the bundle making it flash a final light before Toothless approached the bundle.

Walking to the frozen item he examined it and say that within the ice was a large rock in the center, Meatlug soon came up beside him and soon used her tail to shatter the ice and soon Grump got up and bit the rock shattering it to reveal a midnight blue gem that swirled with an unknown substance. Upon looking closely Toothless could have sworn he saw a dragon marking glowing in the center and a small little dragon creature swimming within the stone, after examining the stone Toothless thanked every dragon in his nest and took the stone in his mouth of which Cloudjumper picked him up and carried him home. Sneaking back up stairs Toothless set down the stone and walked up to Hiccups sleeping form, keeping his teeth retracted he took Hiccups hand into his mouth and focused on giving Hiccup the test. Closing his eyes Toothless entered Hiccups mind and began to explore his mind, he found all of Hiccups dreams and his memories but he soon stopped when he found Hiccups true self. He stood in the center of a dark room without any of his armor on and the fact that he had both his legs, around the room Toothless could hear all of Hiccups doubts and his pains as they voiced to him. Using his own voice he asked Hiccup several questions, he began with testing Hiccups loyalty then moved on to dragon like questions such as the code of any dragon. Soon Toothless asked the most important of all to Hiccup of which, he then moved to approach Hiccup to get the answer face to face. "Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third, will you swear your honor, your life and even soul to gods that you will not abuse the power of the dragons?" Toothless then stared him right in the eyes waiting for his answer, Hiccup didn't even hesitate when he replied with true honesty and passion. "I Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third do swear my honor, my life and my soul to the gods that I will not abuse power of the dragons no matter what happens." Hiccup then stood tall showing pure honesty as he said, he even showed in his eyes pure authority. With a smile Toothless left Hiccups mind with ease, opening his eyes he lets go of Hiccups hand and walks over to where he set down the dragon stone. Returning to Hiccup he set the dragon stone down before he began, slowly pulling the blanket down to expose Hiccups chest, he then used his left claw to left his tunic enough to expose his riders bare chest.

Once Hiccups chest was exposed he took the stone in his gummy mouth where he soon placed it upon Hiccups chest, placing his front claw on the stone he soon focused on the magic that dwelled within it. The stone glowed brightly and soon flashed as it slowly sunk into Hiccups chest, it nestled itself into his sternum only exposing a quarter size remain of the stone on his chest. Hiccup thrashed as the stone entered his body of which concerned Toothless, once it was all over Toothless back away marveling at his work. Suddenly the stone small flashed of which Toothless soon saw as around the dragon stone appeared the mark of the night fury and several dragon scales grew in random areas of his body, looking closely Toothless noticed that the scales were night fury scales of which made Toothless smile a bit because it meant he was closer to Hiccup. Heading back to his sleeping slab Toothless went on to get more sleep, several hours later Toothless was awakened by the sound of Hiccup screaming as he woke up to find like his body he changed. "Great Odin's ghost, what in Helheim happened to me?" Hiccup screamed, waking up in a grouchy mood Toothless looked to Hiccup telling him to calm down and let him just get five more minutes. Shutting up Hiccup looked over his body trying to find all the changes that had happened while he was asleep, he eventually stopped when he saw the quarter sized gem sticking out of his chest with a large tattoo of the night fury symbol using the stone as its eye. Eventually Toothless got to do his Alpha duties but the first thing he expected were the questions Hiccup had for him, with a deep sigh Toothless answered the questions as they came. "Look Hiccup if you want answers on the stone embedded in your chest then you might want to ask Frost, he's a lot older and possibly more information on the damn thing." Toothless said as he walked out the door to do both their duties, Hiccup soon quieted up and went on to handle his village, Toothless did his job as alpha which was similar to Hiccups duties. Around noon Hiccup flew over to Frost who answered the questions on the stone as to his knowledge, Hiccup learned that a dragon stone is made when a human reaches the highest compatibility and thus is given a dragon stone. The stones coloring told who the riders dragon was and also how many dragons worked to make the stone, Frost only knew very few abilities of a dragon stone but the true potential of a dragon stone is unknown. After getting all his questions answered Hiccup flew to Astrid's station where he found her drilling their warriors harder than Snotlout's skull, when he appointed her as his right hand warrior she took the job seriously to the point that any warrior that failed to meet her expectation was soon throw through her personal training course.

With a smile Hiccup called to her making her stop yelling and stop spinning her ax in her hand like a baton, the warriors looked to Hiccup as savior thanking the gods he came distracting Astrid. They chatted a bit before he left of which he asked her to meet him at the cove later tonight, she blushed a bit as she answered but soon he left hearing the warriors groans as she restarted their drills. Hiccup couldn't help but feel sorry for them but in the end he knew that it was all for the best of berk, from there Hiccup went on to continue his chiefly work. He had several domestic disturbances, some arguments to settle, fair over trades, incorporate some new children into the tribe and marry a few couples together. Hiccup soon came to a finish with all his duties and headed to cove where he laid upon the ground near the water where he began to relax, soaking his only foot in the water where he cooled it down to ease his muscles. Waiting there for several minutes he opened his eyes to the sound of Stormfly's wings of which warned Hiccup that Astrid was there, he got up and greeted her with a kiss to the cheek of which she smiled at him. "You know Astrid this day has been a complete pain in the ass, I'm just glad that I can spend some time with you." From there the sun began to set of which made the mood, looking into one another's eyes where they then moved on to kissing each other with true love and passion.

Unknown to them a Drago Bludvist plotted his revenge on berk on top of his Bewilderbeast's head, in sheer frustration he came to a true conclusion from focusing his mind. "I think it's time I visited my home archipelago, if memory serves right it held some pretty power dragons there with a very useful artifact." He then smacked his dragons head to go towards the South, he held an evil glare as he sat on his dragons head.
