Through the Dragon's Eyes
Hi! I fell victim to Toothless' utter and absolute cuteness... :D so I am writing a fanfic based on the movies from his point of view. There will also be a few other Dragons' point of view. Toothless doesn't know Hiccup's name through the beginning part of their bonding time, nor is he really aware Toothless is his name at first either. I hope I don't make him too "human" Enjoy!
I can't get out! I can't fly out! The walls are too steep, I can't get my claws to find purchase! I'm stuck in this cove!
*8*
It was as if the Red Death was so mad at me for my lack of contribute he had set the world against me. Not only had I been shot down by the humans, I was crippled to top everything! A human device had managed to snag me out of the sky, preventing me from using my wings at all to soften my descent towards the Isle of Man and my impact with the ground was not gentle at all. I had skidded across the forest floor and with trees, rocks and Star's know what else... along the trip to where I had laid for a few days, my tail had gotten snagged on a pointed stick and the left side of my tailfin had been painfully ripped off... I lost consciousness for a bit too. But when I came to, a human offspring had found me! I was so terrified! The adult humans kill dragons! This offspring had a human weapon and spoke to me, or... it might have been himself, I wasn't sure because I was so scared! Shortly after resigning to my fate as this offspring's kill, I felt something odd. The device that had brought me down and held me captive was being loosened. When I had opened my eyes, I saw the offspring using his weapon to cut the device from me. And as soon as I had my chance, I grabbed the whelp and pinned him against the ground.
I had taken a deeper look at the offspring, his coloring was different from other humans I had seen... they were... nature like... his eyes matched the grass... Why did he free me? Why did he spare my life... I saw how scared the offspring was and let him go, a tooth for a tooth... I gave him a warning roar before I tried to return to the skies... only to find I could no longer fly... I landed in a cove and inspected why I couldn't fly and saw my tail fin... great...
So I have been in this cove for a good day or two just trying to get out. I was exhausted... and sore... I was in great shape for my breed, but nonstop crashing into the ground was starting to take it's toll. Not to mention I hadn't eaten in DAYS! I haven't been this exhausted and sore since I was a hatchling just starting to take flight... I took a break, I had to figure something out. My stomach growled... I needed food... I laid there about to whimper when I saw movement in the water of the lagoon that was in this cove. I looked deeper and saw FISH! I quickly dove my head in at the fish, but I couldn't catch them before they would swim away... if I was able to fly, I'd be able to snatch them out of the water before they even knew what happened. I sighed, not only was I feeling physically miserable, but I felt a deep sense of shame. I was brought down by the humans and now I was going to die of starvation... Night Furies were suppose to die in battle... that was our way.
Something caught my attention. I looked across the lagoon to see something fall from the rocks above. I followed it's path and saw the same offspring that had freed me. My guard came up instantly. Did he come to finish the job now? He stayed where he was, high on the rocks... he knew I couldn't fly now. This offspring was no fool. He was smart... it had me even more curious about the offspring. Not only had he freed me, he had relocated me... but didn't seem interested in fighting or killing me. In a herd of Dragons, he would have been killed quickly since he seemed to have no fighting will, disgraceful.
The offspring did not stick around long though. He must have sensed my discomfort with his presence and returned to his herd. Good. I'd rather not spend any time with humans. They did this to me. They killed my kind... they were monsters.

The next day the offspring returned. I could hear him coming. I had spent the night adjusting and studying my new surroundings. It was the smart thing to do now. Know where my advantage point where for hiding as well as attacking in case another Dragon or worse... the humans came. I could hear clear into the human herd. But I couldn't make out anything distinctive. But I located the offspring when he entered the forest surrounding the cove. I climbed a tall pile of boulders and waited. Wait, is that, fish I smell? The offspring had come down into the cove, he had some kind of human device with him again, but it got stuck in the rocks. The offspring quickly abandoned the device and walked into the cove with the fish. It was no mystery that he was looking for me. I watched him for a little bit, studying his body language before I made myself known. The offspring was, skittish. Like he was aware that I would prevail if I decided to attack. Human offspring were easy prey. I myself took no pride in hurting any human, much less an offspring, but I had to defend myself now.
The offspring watched me as warily as I watched him. I took a few sniffs of the air to make sure it was indeed, fish, that he carried. My stomach growled, but the offspring didn't seem to hear it. I lowered my body defensively to the ground, growling warningly at the offspring. He seemed to heed my warning, but held the fish out to me with his talons. The smell of the fish was too much to resist as I carefully inched my way over to the offspring. He made no fast movements, he seemed to sense the tension between us and that I was on edge. When I got as close as I felt comfortable with, I began to reach for the fish with an open mouth, retracting my teeth so I wouldn't frighten the offspring. After all, he wasn't trying to frighten me. His body language was submissive and skittish, so I doubt he was here to do any harm. But then I saw a glint catch my eye, I looked at the offspring's waist where I saw it and my eyes fell on the offspring's weapon. I immediately backed off and growled at him. The offspring reeled back and looked down at his waist, seeing what had me upset. When I saw him reach for it, I snarled and braced myself. To my surprise, the offspring ridded himself of the weapon on the ground, but I wasn't leaving it to chance, I gestured my head towards the lagoon and chuffed at him once. I wanted it out of his reach. He seemed to understand me and kicked the weapon into the water with his leg. Seeing no other weapons on him, after seeing the one weapon fall into the water. I felt alot better and sat down on the ground and regarded the offspring for a moment.
The offspring's demeanor changed, he seemed a little calmer now that I felt more at ease. He held out the fish to me again and this time I approached him without hesitation, but still cautious. I got a little closer this time and reached for the fish.
"Huh, toothless... I could have sworn you had-" This offspring made alot of racket, I grew impatient and extended my teeth and snatched the fish from his talons, gulping it down quickly and licking my lips.
"Teeth." the offspring finished what he was saying. I narrowed my eyes on this whelp and approached him again, intending to get a better sniff and look at him, but also to see if he had more fish. He backed up against the nearest rock, intimidated by me.
"I don't have anymore." he said to me, his tone frightened. I looked at him, wondering. The offspring was pretty thin, maybe he didn't get to eat much in his herd. Maybe...
I began to pull the fish from my gut and threw half of it up into his lap. The offspring made a sound of surprise before I sat back and watched him. Sharing with him wasn't so awful, he did come to feed me. I have my pride as a Dragon to be gracious. But the offspring just stared at me, not knowing what to do. I gestured towards the fish I gave him. He hesitated before taking a bite. The noises he made were strained, and his face contorted into weird ways. But he wasn't completely accepting the fish, he didn't swallow. So I swallowed loudly, telling him to swallow. The offspring did, but he didn't seem to like the fish as much as I had. But then his face did a weird thing. I looked at his mouth for a moment before I curled my lips and stretched them out like he had. The offspring looked at me in awe. This felt weird.
The offspring got up on his hind legs a little and reached out for me with his talons. I immediately reeled back, folding my ears back and growling lowly. I didn't want him touching me. I snarled at him and quickly flew away, only to crash again a few feet away. I shook off the sting from the crash and decided I was tired. Using my fire, I scorched the ground, warming it up before laying down where I had scorched and settled in for a nap. I saw birds above me, I only see these creatures where there are trees... not on my island... where Red Death laid demanding food. I was torn from my thoughts when I saw the offspring had caught up to me and was sitting just a few feet from me. Geez this thing was getting annoying now. I flopped my head back down and moved my tail, using my remaining fin to block him from my sight, figuring if I didn't see him and ignored him, he return to his herd. After a moment, I felt movement and moved my tail out of the way, seeing the offspring had reached out to touch me again. I let out a mild growl at him and the offspring got up and moved away, seeing me annoyed. I sighed and got up, shaking my head as I moved towards the tree. If I slept high up, he couldn't touch me... and I prayed he would just leave. My nerves and patience had reached their limit... humans were so aggravating, but this offspring... was twice that!
Let me know what you all think! I want to see reactions before I write the next chapter, so I left off here!
