Authors note: this is my first ever story/fanfic and I would love to get reviews as to how I should update the story. I WILL NOT CONTINUE if there isn't much intrest. And comment what Toothless's born name is. I cannot decide! Here it is...

Prolouge:

Long ago, before there was a Toothless and Hiccup, before there was even dragon attacks on Berk, the night furies disappeared. Most of the flock left to migrate and reach their hunting grounds, only leaving behind the young, eggs, and their parents.

As the flock flew north, suddenly the lead dragon, Shadowclaws, yelled, "I feel something strange, like some sort of magnet trying to throw me off course". The other dragons started feeling it too.

"I've never felt this at all during our migration back home", rumbled Shadowclaws' best friend and mentor, Grawthing. "we would be wise to be cautious and avoid this pull, no matter how strong, for we are Night Furies!" he shouted, boosting everyone's spirit.

But the farther north they went, the stronger the pull, until the Furies had to stop altogether, or it would be too overwhelming.

Then all of a sudden, Gleam, a lesser female, started screaming in pain and agony. All the others were alarmed by this, and called to Shadowclaws for help. As Shadowclaws pushed through the magnetic force, Gleam started shaking and glowing.

She cackled and roared, "You puny Night Furies! You are all so weak and cowardly, especially you….um…..Shadowclaws!" "What are you Gleam? Some sort of possessed spirit? Do you need our help to escape to the higher skies?" Shadowclaws asked in terror. "Shadow, Shadow, Shadow…you are right about one thing. I possessed this slave. But she isn't very strong….hmmm…." said Gleam.

"Who are you and why are you possessing her?!" Shadowclaws was frightened, for him, his flock, and Gleam. "Ahh yes. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Destroyer and I possess Gleam because she will lead you through the magnetic field right into my claws!"

Shadow looked at everyone and mouthed "FLY!". But Destroyer saw and froze all the Furies except Shadow in place. The Furies weren't like flying statues though. They were also being mind controlled by Destroyer. Gleam laughed as they fought against the invisible restraints, but little by little the Furies got tired, and each fell into possession of Destroyer. Shadowclaws pleaded with Destroyer, "why are you doing this?" She just laughed and forced his mate, Moony, and Grawthing to take hold of him and follow Gleam.

Deeper they went into the magnetic field. Soon they reached the place where Destroyer started forcing herself into his mind. But he could clearly feel it was a weak attempt and wasn't affected. The place was a rocky, volcano island, with no plants or animals in sight. Shadow gulped. Then a huge roar sounded over the volcano, and millions of dragons took flight, not from command, he realized, but fear. Shadowclaws was about to meet Destroyer…

Moony and Grawthing shoved and scraped him and forced him up the mountain of stone. As they reached the inside, Gleam suddenly swooped down into a long and narrow tunnel, with the rest in tow. Shadow thought the cave was perfect to fit a full grown Night Fury, a little too perfect. Then he relized he and his flock were about to get trapped in a cavern, and if they grew a bit more, they wouldn't fit through the didn't tell his discovery to Destroyer, though.

As Shadow was led into the cavern, he saw a pit with many carvings in the ground shaped like a Night Fury. As each one walked to a different carving and lay down, the Fury would be freed of Destroyer, only to be forced to stay in that position forever. Once each Night Fury was in place, Gleam grabbed Shadow so Moony and Grawthing took their own position. Shadowclaws was forced into a mini pit in the back of the group.

Tears were streaming down Gleam's face. She then walked into a small pool that evaporated as soon as she drank. Nothing happened. Gleam then flew out and brought back fish. This was her job until Destroyer set her sights on a Viking villige. Gleam wasn't around very often after that, only to bring fish.

As a few years passed, Shadowclaws relizied what the water potion thing did. It kept her in her young body so she could walk in and out without a problem. As opposed to everyone else, who were growing. A century passed, and still Gleam stayed young. But he could feel the restraints slipping, Gleam was fighting with herself and moaning all the time. Finally Gleam broke through enough to tell everyone that Destroyer was dying and had laid an egg, which was hatching tomorrow. Everyone groaned, for the egg would mean another baby Destroyer with stronger powers and would be taught by Destroyer. Which was exactly what happened. Shadowclaws prayed for the first time on his life. Someone please save us. Someone please save us. Someone…..
