"Toothless. Come on buddy we're going on a little vacation," the, voice called out to the area. The area itself was rich with trees growing to large sizes as the sun beat down on the enclosed space. It was large, with a well sized pond housing the silhouettes of fish swimming in peaceful fear. Large boulders lied against the stone walls as well as near the pond. The owner of the voice set a decently sized rucksack next to the water as it reached within the sack, grasping and pulling out a trout. As the hand made its way back the green sleeve it was adorned with rode up the lanky, pale arm. The fish was then held by small pale hands as they lumbered over to the base of a tree, synchronized with the long legs the waist held together. The owner of the appendages was a seemingly young boy, fitted with a green tunic-like garb, held tightly to his small torso by a leather harness across his chest, lying beneath a brown fur vest. His legs were kept warm by darker green tights while his feet walked in tandem with fur boots. His face was boyish yet maturing slowly as his brunette hair grew to his neck, as the rest hovered over his green eyes.

"Come on Toothless we're leaving. Get up," he called to the black void of a beast that lied at the base of the tree. Its eyes opened slowly to reveal faded green and yellow eyes clutching onyx pupils. It stood and stretched its long body for a moment, rattling the saddle-like harness it wore. Its black body stretched into a massive length, its tail swinging slightly as a strap connected a leather tail fin identical to its black twin. Adorned on its body were incredible wings stretched open, wind billowing against the massive appendages. It stood on its four legs, reaching to the boy's chest, as the long ears on its head swayed in the wind.

The boy held out the fish to the beast, and swiftly its mouth opened to reveal pink gums; only for it to quickly grow teeth as it snatched the trout from his hands. It quickly swallowed the fish but began to gag. It heaved over and regurgitated the head of the fish it had just eaten. The boy looked at it for a second only to look away disgusted. "No thanks. I ate before I got here," he lied. He didn't want to eat another regurgitated half of a raw fish. "But Toothless, we're leaving for a while so let's get going," as his last word left his mouth he walked back, picked up his sack and climbed onto the harness the draconic beast wore. As he climbed on his feet rested into tanned leather stirrups wrapped around small metal bars. Resting his weight and moving his feet slightly in the stirrups caused the leather tail fin to shift to each movement he made.

He gripped the reins and shouted, "Alright Toothless, let's get out of here!" The incredible wings shot down as it started flapping, launching them up and out of the stone enclosure. They flew high into the sky as they passed over a village with people shouting in joy and celebration. He looked back down and saw all of them, happy, and ignorant of his departure. "Sorry Dad," he muttered looking back into the blue sky embracing the sun as it descended, "I just won't kill a dragon." Toothless looked back at its friend as they flew through the sky. Its tail shifted slightly and they began ascending higher towards the clouds. "Let's get above the clouds, no one can see us up there," he said to his friend as he smiled. Toothless gave an attempt to smile, showcasing its namesake as they soared higher.

Once above the clouds they looked out into the black night sky peppered with millions of stars. They looked around at the vast void, and continued flying, his feet and head shifting ever so slightly, and Toothless' wings beating down against gravity. They soared further before he saw a light in the distance. His eyes squinted as he tried to make out the unnatural light. As they reached the light their momentum ceased and they treaded the air. He looked down to Toothless who was equally confused, its face and eyes revealing its thoughts. His foot shifted slightly and they drifted closer to the light. He reached his hand out and touched the light, and as he pulled his hand back it clutched onto his arm and pulled them towards it.

He yelled in shock and shouted, "Toothless, get us out of here!" Immediately Toothless flapped its wings violently, but to no avail the light kept pulling them in until they were completely engulfed and the light vanished along with them.

Smoke and dust surrounded them as he slowly opened his eyes to Toothless nudging him with its head. He groaned as he heard the startled gasps of other people.

"There's no way."

"Zero couldn't have brought that."

"How did the Zero summon a dragon?!" The voices continued to scream, but he neither saw the owners of the voices nor did he understand them. Shakily lifting himself onto his knees, he peered over Toothless to say a lot of other people.

As he watched all of them, scared and curious, he heard a voice that sounded ecstatic, yet like the others he couldn't understand it, "I did it! I summoned a divine familiar just like a said I would! Take that Zerbst," the voice shouted out into the crowd. He slowly stood up to see that the voice belonged to a short girl, with long flowing hair that seemed to hold a pinkish hue in the sunlight. She wore, what he could only assume was, a uniform that consisted of a white blouse and black skirt, yet she also wore a cape and black stockings that gripped her pale legs as well, as her toes were bundled in black shoes. As he stood the people, most likely her classmates stared at him in confusion. He tilted his head slightly and Toothless stood on its copying his gesture, tilting its head in the same direction.

Soon enough laughter broke out and they all began sputtering words through what they saw as, hilarious. "She summoned a bound familiar and its master!"

"More like she summoned a peasant and his pet!"

"Well, it looks you still are a Zero!"

The girl slowly turned around to see the boy, as well as Toothless confused. Her head dropped and she started to move towards him. Once she was in arm's length she grabbed his shirt and pulled him to her, screaming as she held on, "Who are you?! Why are you with my familiar?!" As she screamed her eyes slowly began tearing up, but her anger was replaced with shock as she felt something press against her chest and forcefully threw her back. In her anger Toothless had used its tail to throw her back and stood between them as it lowered its legs to the ground and took on a predatorily defensive stance. Its wings spread outward and its mouth opened, teeth glowering at her. Its mouth steadily began to glow as a high pitched screech pierced the area.

However Toothless was stopped as the boy jumped in front of him, "Toothless, it's okay. I'm fine," his hands roamed his body as he explained to his friend. Toothless looked at him warily but the screech died down as Toothless moved to put itself between the boy and everyone else. As the boy sighed in relief one of the people behind him stepped forward. It was a relatively tall balding man. He wore blue robes and held a large stick while glasses rested on his nose.

As he stepped forward Toothless opened its mouth again and growled, succeeding in keeping the man back. The boy turned around to see the man as he called out, "Everyone I believe it is time to head back to the classroom."

As he finished all of the students floated up into the air, effectively shocking the boy, while they all shouted taunts to the girl who the man asked to stay, "Better walk back without a familiar Zero!"

She kept her head down while the boy looked on in amazement as the others flew away. The man looked back to the boy and spoke, making sure that Toothless didn't attack him, "Excuse me, but can you understand me," he questioned. The boy looked at him in confusion but remained silent. His eyes widened slightly in realization, but he began gesturing to himself. His mouth, his ear and back to his mouth as he mouthed words. After the short charade the boy understood what he meant.

Shaking his head he said, "I can't understand you." He knew they were empty words but hoped he got his meaning across to him. The man nodded his head and began speaking very low as he waved his stick to the boy. Toothless moved in front of the boy further to make it clear he was not to be harmed.

The man smiled slightly and asked, "Is that better? Can you understand me now?"

The boy looked at him in surprise, as did Toothless as it understood him as well. "Yeah," he started, "I can understand you now. But how did you do it?"

The man smiled, "Simple, it was magic." The boy looked at him in surprise. "Now why don't we introduce ourselves," he suggested, "My name is Jean Colbert. What's your name?"

The boy looked at Jean, contemplating how his "magic" worked and responded, "My name's Hiccup," Jean looked at him in confusion, "Great name, I know. But it's not the worst." Hiccup gave him a wry smile matching his tone as Toothless remained between the three of them. Jean looked down to Toothless and looked back to Hiccup, hoping his small gesture was enough for him to know what he wanted. Hiccup looked at Toothless and honestly smiled slightly, squatting down he began scratching Toothless, "This is Toothless, he's my friend."

Toothless shook his head in tandem with Hiccups scratching but remained apprehensive.

Jean looked down as he saw Toothless repressing his urge to loose himself in Hiccup's scratching. He smiled slightly, and looked back to the girl that had remained silent throughout the ordeal. However she did not remain silent for much longer, "Professor Colbert, may I please redo the ritual without summoning a commoner along with my real familiar," she pleaded as she bowed to him. Hiccup ceased his scratching and looked at them bewildered.

Professor Colbert shook his head as he spoke, "You cannot. This ritual is sacred. It is not meant to be done by trial and error." She looked down in frustration as she stomped over to Hiccup. Toothless stood intimidatingly, but Hiccup scratched him again and stood up, signaling him to stop.

She looked up at him slightly as she spoke, "My name is Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière. You should be thankful for this. Normally someone of noble birth would never do this for a commoner." She seethed as she brought out a small stick and pointed it at him, confusing both Hiccup and Toothless. "Oh Pentagon that rules the five powers, bless this individual and make him my familiar." She grabbed Hiccup's vest and pulled him down slightly. He looked at her baffled until she pulled him to her and kissed him. Toothless looked at them and laughed the best he could, but it didn't last long. Once they separated Hiccup's right hand began to glow and he clutched his wrist as he screamed in pain.

Toothless jumped between them and began growling as Hiccup slowly began to lose consciousness. He dropped to his knees and fell over, all the while Toothless growled at Colbert and Louise as they tried to get close to Hiccup. While stepping back Colbert saw Hiccup's hand. He quickly scribbled what he could see and began searching for someone to keep Toothless back so they could treat Hiccup.

Louise stood in shock and fear as Toothless growled at her making sure that she couldn't get to him. She stepped back but stayed near as Toothless did the same, laying one of his wings over Hiccup as he lied down next to him.

This was a challenge that I accepted and intend on doing my best to make this a story worth reading. Leave a review and tell me what you think.
