(Okay, Stoick's death hurt all of us, and he was just a good character, swallowing his pride, accepting a new way of living and repairing his relationship with his son and finding his wife, SO CLOSE and yet SO FAR, but we are talking about Stoick the Vast here guys, like he said, it takes more than a little fire to kill him, let's see what happened)
Toothless POV
That monster was heading towards Hiccup and me, in truth, though I'd never admit it, I was scared, this monster that calls himself Drago, he and his beast defeated the alpha, right before my eyes, I saw members of my own kind, being drawn to this thing, this beast, stripped of their own free will, of their own minds. But I kept my utmost concern was for Hiccup.
It was almost too painful to watch, Hiccup trying to talk some sense into this man, I felt sorry for my rider, he is a kind and wonderful human who believes in the good of any and every creature. But this Drago, he was nothing but evil, insanity, and darkness, pure awful darkness, I couldn't see, not even a glimmer of hope in his dark, soulless and merciless eyes. He uses his lost arm as an excuse, at that very moment I so wished I could talk to him, or rather, scream at him. I lost half my tail, Hiccup lost his leg, and we found a way to keep going, and ended up putting the old prejudices aside and making a world for both dragons and vikings in peace.
But him, he enslaved, torture and probably even killed countless innocents for his own selfishness. How could he even attempt an excuse like that. Then he looked at his pet, then at me, and though for only a glance, I could tell, he had something twisted coming from his skull.
"No dragon can resist the Alpha".
What did he mean, by... ow, there was a sudden pang, as if something was hitting my brain, making bounce around in my head, I shook, I growled, trying to think of something, anything to stop the torture.
"Stop resisting, it will only worsen the pain", that voice, deep, hard and cold sounding, and yet somehow inviting, " come to me, just relax, give in to me and everything will be alright"
I started to listen to the voice, could I just end the pain now, just like that, but I could still hear the sound of Hiccup, concerned, and worried, and it was as if his voice was reminding me of the danger, warning me not to obey, but the longer I resisted, the more intense the pain, the voice was becoming louder, stronger and more forceful, overpowering Hiccups pleas for me.
"Give in to your master, give in to my command"
I began to loosen my grip, ease on the fighting in my skull, and before I knew it, everything went black.
Controlled Toothless POV
Emptiness is all the dragon felt, hollow, only there to serve it's master, "kill him" a simple order for the reptile, he approached the figure he was order to kill, but as he approached something happened, this human, something in his head stirred, blurry and hard to make out, like a memory from a half remembered dream, the faint sounds of the human, pleading, pleading for him ?
"Toothless no, no", the human kept repeating. Toothless ? Why did that seem familiar, and that voice, warm and kind, something told the dragon he simply could not kill him.
But the order was clear. What could be done ?
What if he only stunned him, caused him pain, though not lethal, that would please his master. With mind set, a blast was breathed, but it didn't hurt this human, it hurt another one. Then something happened.
Toothless POV
I shook my head, and opened my eyes, I felt as though I had just woken up from a deep sleep, though memory of the dream escaped me, but though I was indeed awake, my greatest nightmare was right in front of me.
Stoick was on the ground unconscious, both Hiccup and Valka were beside him, Valka put her head to his chest, after a few moments, her eyes dulled and began to fill with tears. Hiccup's face became first a look of shock and disbelief but soon turned into the look of hopelessness his mother was sharing. I suddenly had realization, like a flash before my eyes, I saw a flash of blue and purple light, and a large silhouette being hit by it, a quick memory, now I understood.
I did this.
I tried to approach Hiccup, but he yelled with anger and pushed me away, I didn't blame him, he had plenty good reason to, I gave in to the monster and because of that, I had become one.
As I treaded away, I felt empty, no longer even having the want to go on, and before I knew it, I heard the bewilderbeast roar and things once again became black.
Present Day
The night fury looked back on these things on top of his and his rider's home. It had been four weeks since the battle, the bewilderbeast was conquered, Valka returned, sharing her information on dragons to the town, and Hiccup was chief, all should had been right with the world, but it wasn't for Toothless.
"Hey Tooth" the dark reptile was taken from his deep thought by the nadder.
"Hi Stormfly", he answered dull and dryly. The nadder's face became one of concern, "what wrong, come on you can tell me".
"Nothing is wrong", he snapped spitefully, maybe too more than intended, but the spiked reptile didn't seem offended and actually became more sarcastic.
"If that's so, then why are you sitting here alone, staring off in to space, the battle's over, I would think you would had been the most relieved and happy about it".
"I am it's just that...*sigh*, I don't know" he answered in defeat just before thinking up something for quickly changing the subject, "but what are you doing here, shouldn't you be flying with Astrid ?"
This earning him a smirk from the female, "I'm not flying with my rider for the same reason your not with yours, their both a little busy at the moment, now quit changing the subject".
The night fury sighed again, knowing he wasn't going to be fooling Stormfly, it was Stormfly he was talking too, he looked down at the ground below and gave a half-hearted laugh, "take a guess".
The nadder turned her head to the direction of his, it was Valka with some younger children around her asking for stories about her twenty years with the dragons and luckily for them, Valka is a great storyteller. Stormfly got a clue and sighed herself.
"Toothless, please don't tell me your still upset over what happened to Stoick"
"He's dead Stormfly, they were a big happy family again and I ruined it for them, I ruined their happiness, Hiccup saved my life, fixed my tail and gave me a new trust and view on humans, and how do I repay him, by killing his father and..."
"TOOTHLESS STOP, please, I can't stand to hear this, it wasn't your fault, we all were put under the influence, I betrayed my rider too, remember", Stormfly stood in front of Toothless and made him look her in the eye, "but you broke free, you saved us, all of us, what happened had happened and it couldn't have been helped, but here we are now, safe and sound, Toothless...it's time to let go".
Toothless saw the true concern and sadness in her eyes, she was a friend that truly cared about him, "your right, I know your right, but I don't think I can completely forgive myself for it".
The blue and yellow reptile nodded, "I understand, just promise you'll try and not cling to it", "I will".
She smiled, "good, I'm going to get some fish, want to come ?", he nodded and as they were about to take off, "oh and Toothless ?"
"yeah ?"
"Try to take a break from all the frowning, it's not a good look for you", she laughed and took off with Toothless laughing and following her pursuit.
And unknown to the two dragons, in a village, miles and miles away from Berk, someone slowly started to open his eyes for the first time in weeks.
(OKAY, now you may be thinking that this Stoick story may be missing a very important factor, Stoick, but it's only the first chapter, I just wanted to address what happened and how it affected the one who caused it, Toothless, read and review and see you soon)
