First of all, this is my very first How to Train Your Dragon Fanfic. So please go a little easy on me.

Second of all, this is just the prologue. It shows you what kind of person Jay is. The first chapter will be when Jay is actually meeting the Night Fury and the story actually begins. I just wanted to have this so that you would understand what kind of person Jay is.

Third of all, I know that I need to update my other stories people who follow me. I just had this idea in my head and It wouldn't leave me alone.

Forth of all, POV stands for point of view if you didn't already know that, so this prologue is from Jay's point of view.

Fifth of all, I hope you enjoy! Read on.

Jay POV.

I had never thought of myself as selfless.

For if people were concerned I was differential. I didn't care much for people. They deceive and trick, they lie and cheat. I don't hate all people, I just don't trust them. For some I know are kind and honest, it is just that you can never tell who is really nice and who is trying to trick you. I wasn't a social butterfly, I was a lone wolf. That was just how I was.

But with animals- it was different. I seemed to connect with animals. They don't try to deceive you, they don't spit hurtful words. They may hate you, but at least they are truthful about it. No animals hate me now, but sometimes they hate all people and don't trust me until they get to know me. Animals are great judges of character. I learned quickly that if a tame animal that generally likes people growls or barks at a person it means that person isn't nice. For they could smell if any creatures had been afraid around it, they can see every little detail like if there was another's blood under their nails. They know if they hurt any animal or person. It is odd, how much they know about a person just by smelling them and looking at them. I wish I was that good at judging people. Sometimes I wish that I could trust people as easily as I trust animals. But I am as I am, I don't trust people but I trust animals with a passion.

Still, I had never really thought about the fact that I would risk my life to save an animal that I hadn't even met.

But when I saw that kitten drowning, I didn't think before rushing to save it. I hadn't thought about how I could die if I jumped into the fast-flowing extremely-cold water. I had just seen a small kitten drowning. I had seen it move its tiny paws to try to keep afloat before the waters pulled it down, out of sight. I had seen small bubbles float upward, had the image of its blue eyes wide with terror imprinted on the back of my eyes.

Now, I was at the water's edge, Trying to catch a glimpse of its pure white pelt. I saw it only for a moment before the small lump of fur was pulled back below. But I now knew where the kitten was. I jumped into the rushing water. I was completely submerged in the water. The freezing water was so cold that it hurt. It hurt in the aching on my bones and the rush of air from my lungs. I found it hard to swim, hard to move my body at all. I opened my eyes, hating the burning sensation that filled them as they were exposed to water. The water was oddly clear, and it didn't take me long to see the small white ball of fur that was a kitten.

I could just barely see that its tiny chest was moving up and down from where I was. I managed to fight the current and swim over to it. Once I reached it I pressed it close to my chest with one hand. I then proceeded to swim to the surface. I made it to the surface and quickly raised the kitten's head above the water.

A roaring had filled my ears as I fought the current to reach the bank. I managed to reach the edge and placed the kitten onto the bank. I then put my arms on the edge of the bank, preparing the pull myself up. I was breathing heavily, gasping for air. Then my hands met a patch of ice, and they slipped. I found my firm grasp gone, and grasped desperately for purchase. None was found, and I was quickly submerged again into the water.

I had still been gasping for air when I slipped, so the water quickly filled my mouth. It chocked up my throat, spilling into my lungs. I gasped in panic for a moment, before common sense took over and I clasped my mouth shut. The cold was so shocking that it seemed to freeze me all the way through. My hands reached out, trying the swim to the surface, I kicked my legs out. Desperate. Panicked. The currents pulled me deeper. My eyes opened and were caught in the shimmering of the lake surface, so far above me.

I didn't feel cold anymore. My limbs felt heavy, useless. I couldn't see the surface anymore. My head was pounding and my ears were ringing. My body was unresponsive, refusing to keep on swimming. I fell completely limp, my eyes slid closed.

I could almost feel my life as it slipped away from me. Feel it leave with the last of my warmth and thought.

Then I knew nothing more.

I know that wasn't much, but hopefully it helped you understand Jay a little. The first chapter will be longer than this. And yes I know this is all deathly and angsty but I write better that way. But anyways, I hope you enjoyed this! I posted the first chapter already if you want to read it! I'll see you shortly, well not really see you but have a one-sided conversation with you and only if you decide to read the chapter. But You get my point...
