Hey guys, I'm back! Before I get to my next story about the Tournament, I'd thought it would be a great idea to write a story about Toothless since my previous stories involved my characters. I figured that Toothless should get the spotlight in this one. Anyways, enjoy!
It was a cool day in Berk. The sun was high in the sky and dragon and viking alike were working hard to prepare for the upcoming winter. Whenever a cool breeze swept the town of Berk, it would send a shiver up the residents' spines, motivating them to work faster.
After the incident with Drago, most of the dragons from the Bewilderbeast's nest and the ones from Drago's army all moved to Berk as they had nowhere else to go. That meant the residents had to work twice as much to get wood and fish. Luckily for them, he called upon his allies from Draconia to help him and his village.
9 years ago, when Hiccup and Toothless killed the Red Death, as in any other battles, people were hurt, dragons and Vikings alike. Gothi alone couldn't handle all of the injuries by herself, especially the dragon ones, as she knew nothing of dragon anatomy. In response to that, a dragon healer known as Serenity, was dispatched from the land of Draconia, to help heal the wounded dragons on Berk. But even after all the dragons were hurt, she stayed there on Berk as Stoick offered her the position of dragon healer on Berk. As time passed, and problems grew (Outcasts, Berserkers, Screaming Death, etc.) the rulers of Draconia went to Berk to establish an alliance to help each other out in need.
Now, Draconia is a beautiful land. It is the homeland to all the dragons that roam this Earth. On that land mass is a castle,carved out of a castle-shaped mountain. It started out as a series of deep caves. As Draconia developed the caves became rooms made of marble, gold, and cement. The biggest room in the castle is the great hall. The castle is 1,000 ft high and has over 300 rooms. On one side of the castle is the capital city, Bluegreen, on the other side is a vast cove known as Castle Cove with its own small harbor, known as Royal Town. Castle Cove is sealed by a 2 mile long wall. The golden castle gates are in the very center of the wall. The king and queen of Draconia are Re and Aurora respectively. Tenor is the prime minister of Draconia (Every kingdom needs a government,yeesh). They also established a home on Dragon Island, turning it into another castle. They use that castle during the summer so that they could get away from the homeland and be near Berk in case something happened. They return to Draconia during the winter.
Those three dragons are a bit different than the dragons from Berk. They had long, thick necks, long tails, large wings, and one pair of horns on the back of their narrow heads. Re, a green dragon and Aurora, a blue dragon, had the bodies and legs of large wolves; Tenor the black dragon, had the body and legs of a panther. Re and Aurora were the size of Clydesdale Horses while Tenor was the size of an Arabian Horse. They each wore armor in the color and design of their choice, with their own personal crest on their head plates: Re's was a green dragon with his wings open and held a golden apple in one talon and a golden music note in the other, it was surrounded by a blue circle; that crest was the crest of the country he ruled over. Aurora's crest was a huge snowflake made out of sapphire and turquoise stones that matched her scales. Tenor's crest was a silver crescent moon surrounded by silver stars.
Re and Aurora were Whippertails, meaning the last third of their tails had no bone, just solid muscle. They could be used to grab stuff and are thin enough to be used as whips. Aurora was the daughter of the Dragon God, Draco. With that being said, she was born with magic and can do countless things with it,except raise the dead and create life like her father could , on the other hand, was the most unusual dragon. Part of him was a Blackfang, meaning his teeth were pitch black and so venomous, they could kill anything in an instant. In addition to that, he had the skin, eyes, wings, tail, sonar flaps (instead of horns), and spines of a Night Fury. Tenor had been abandoned as an egg, and grew up with Re and Aurora, who were quite positive that he was the only Night Fury hybrid in existence.
Serenity is a young woman who was kicked out of her family at the age of 5 for being friends with a red dragon named Ruby. Ruby then decided to bring her to Draconia where he thought she would be safe. The dragons took her in, and did something that has never been attempted with any other human being ever. They turned her into the first human dragon in history. She is a dragon rider and dragon healer. She travels the world to learn about the dragons outside of Draconia, before Re called her in and asked her to come back home. She helps out any dragon who is sick or injured, so she is well-known amongst the dragons. She lives in the castle with the royal dragons.
But one fateful night changed their lives. One day, Berk was raided by a group of dragons, led by a Night Fury-a female Night Fury named Windwalker-when Hiccup and his friends found a map in an abandoned ship. The dragons easily stole the map back, but as the raid concluded, the Berkians found out that the female Night Fury had a rider, who coordinated the raid. His name was Chris, and he turned out to be the long-lost adopted son of Re and Aurora-who found him as a baby, unharmed, in a burnt down village where they then raised him as one of their own-when Hiccup and his Draconian allies tracked him down. From there on, they realized that Chris had to raid Berk because he and his nest were in a war. And that the map they found was a key component that could've changed the tide in the war Chris's nest was fighting-the dragon-Song war. With help from the Berkians and Draconians, they were able to win the war, and stop the onslaught of dragons.
Chris was a tall, young man. Maybe a year or 2 older than Hiccup was. He had short black hair, big ears, tan skin, and had a strong, yet lean body frame much like Hiccup's. He wore black pants with black boots that had thick fur lining the top of his footwear. Accompanying his waist was two twin swords strapped to his left side. On his torso, was a dark colored shirt, which was covered by a slim winter trench coat with thick fur accompanying the ends of the sleeves. Windwalker, his dragon companion, was a female Night Fury with honey-golden eyes. Across her right flank were 4 scratch-like scars.
In the aftermath of it all, Serenity and Chris got married and had a beautiful little daughter named Edelweiss, Re and Aurora had 2 hatchlings: Apollo and Avalon, and Tenor and Windwalker became mates and had a daughter named Black Widow. Avalon and Apollo were the son and daughter of Re and Aurora, and siblings to Chris. Princess Avalon was teal green with purple horns and lavender eyes. She wore purple armor with a big green maple leaf insignia on her head plate/crown. Her brother Apollo was blood red with golden horns, spines, and eyes. He wore dark red armor with a gold insignia of a dolphin jumping over a lyre, surrounded by a wreath on his head plate/crown. Like their mother, they also had the gift of magic and were slowly mastering it. The youngest of the dragons was Black Widow, the hatchling of Tenor and Windwalker. She, like her father, was half-Blackfang and half-Night Fury. She had the scales, sonar flaps, wings, fins, eyes, spines, and body of a Night Fury, and the long wolf-like legs, long neck, narrow head, and black teeth of a Blackfang. She had red eyes and a red hourglass shape on her forehead. She wore black armor with the same red hourglass insignia on her head plate/crown.
Many things have happened since the dragon-Song war. Windwalker got promoted to Captain of the Guard, they battled a deranged dragon named Hael, almost witnessed Serenity dying, and now Chris and Hiccup have been chosen by the sun god Sól to participate in a deadly game. Out of all the events in their lives, this particular one is the most dramatic. Especially for Toothless.
The royal dragons, alongside the dragons of Berk, teamed up to help the fisherman bring in extra hauls. While they did that, the viking gang was chopping down wood. Serenity and Valka were with the other wives of Berk, making extra clothes. Hiccup and Chris were with their dragons, finishing the construction of a longhouse with a team of vikings.
"Alright, on 3 we'll slowly place the roof onto the house", Hiccup commanded as he mounted Toothless. Both Windwalker and himself had harnesses strapped around their saddles to help them lift the roof.
"Okay, you ready Windwalker?", Chris asked his dragon companion. Windwalker nodded, crouching down, getting ready to take off.
"Now", Hiccup shouted.
Both Night Furies sprang into the air, flapping almost simultaneously to keep the roof level. They had to flap twice as much since the roof was heavy.
"Now slowly move to your left Windwalker", Hiccup asserted as he gesticulated her to move in the right direction.
Windwalker snorted as she steadily floated over the house.
"Good. Now lower it."
Windwalker and Toothless worked in tandem, steadily lowering the roof until it was firmly settled on top of the house.
"Great. Now, finish up", Hiccup ordered as he pointed to the group of vikings watching nearby.
Both Night Furies landed next to the house. Their riders then moved to remove the harnesses attached to their dragons.
"We did it", Hiccup panted as he dismounted his dragon, wiping the sweat off of his brow.
"Why are you sweating? Windwalker and I did all the work?", Toothless huffed.
"Yeah, without us, it would've taken you hours just to finish the roof", Windwalker agreed.
"Well, without our guidance you guys wouldn't even know how to put the roof on", Chris smirked.
Windwalker sighed in defeat, rolling her eyes.
Just then, the rest of the dragons landed near them and approached them.
"Well Hiccup, you now have more than enough fish to feed your village", Re voiced as he folded his wings in.
"Thank you Re. I appreciate the help", Hiccup replied.
"Oh it's no trouble. Even if we weren't allies, I'm sure we would've still helped."
At that moment, Serenity and Valka came up the hill. Chris smiled and took her hand in his.
"How are you my love?", Chris asked.
"Oh I'm fine. The other wives and I just finished making clothes. By the way Hiccup, not to brag or anything, but you have enough clothes to even keep the dragons warm!", Serenity exclaimed.
"I hope so", Hiccup chuckled.
"Well if there isn't anything else, we'll be headed off", Re announced.
"Already?!", Valka gasped.
"Yes ma'am. As much as we like it here, we have to check on kids and make sure they don't cause too much trouble. But if you need us, I suggest you tell us within 2 days because we plan to head back to Draconia at the end of those 2 days", Aurora explained.
"Alright. Again, thank you Re for helping us."
"Anytime", Re smiled.
Chris and Serenity mounted their respective dragons before taking off with the rest of the Draconians.
Valka and the dragons left to their dwellings, leaving Toothless and Hiccup by themselves.
At that moment, Astrid approached them with Hegan in her arms.
"And how are you my lady?", Hiccup smiled, embracing his wife and child.
"Nothing much. Just dealing with our son is all", Astrid responded.
"And here we thought being a Viking was tough", Hiccup said.
"Eh, you were never much of a Viking anyways", Astrid teased.
"Haha, very funny", Hiccup answered, the sarcasm heavy in his voice
Astrid laughed before looking at Hiccup in the eyes.
"I love you."
"I love you too Astrid", Hiccup stated before pecking her on the lips.
"Now let's go home. I'm tired after a day of being chief."
Astrid stepped back and punched Hiccup in the arm.
"Ow! What was that for?!", Hiccup groaned as he rubbed his arm.
"That's for complaining", Astrid said before giving him another kiss,"and this for everything else."
Hegan started giggling uncontrollably.
"Oh great. He likes seeing his daddy get hurt", Hiccup asserted.
"At least now I know what to do whenever he's upset", Astrid smiled.
Hiccup smiled as he wrapped an arm around his family and escorted them back to their house.
Toothless watched them intently as they departed, heavy thoughts on his mind.
He sighed. Toothless then trotted over to the cliff near the Haddock residence and sat on his haunches, looking out over the ocean. The sun was setting, sending out rays of gold and orange across the sky.
Toothless gazed out past the horizon, before turning away from it. He headed into the Haddock house when the darkness of night swept the skies. He looked up at the stars for a bit before entering the house. He went into his room and plopped down on the slab of rock. His room was reasonably spacious and had a wide doorway to accommodate him; it was right across from Stormfly's pen, who was soundly asleep. In fact, he was the only one awake.
Toothless was the alpha of all the dragons of Berk, and constantly defeated any force foolish enough to mess with the island he called home. He had an intelligent human for a best friend, who not only saved his life multiple times, but also taught him that not all humans are bad. For that, he considered that man his brother. He would gladly die for him. He should've been happy. He had everything he ever could want. Almost everything he could want.
He felt like a burden. Sure, he was apart of Hiccup's family, but he didn't feel like it. Hiccup had a wife and a child. Alas, Toothless didn't have that.
"If only I had someone to share this with", Toothless whispered to himself.
He hated to think this way, but his dream of having a family flew out the door when Windwalker and Tenor became mates. Sure Windwalker and him got off to a rocky start, but he figured they would grow from there. But even then, she didn't seem interested after all was said and done.
Maybe it was because Tenor was a royal dragon and that he was prime minister of the dragons' homeland. Maybe alpha wasn't enough.
Toothless growled in disapproval.
"No no. I shouldn't think like that. I should be happy for them", Toothless mumbled.
Toothless sighed in defeat.
He closed his eyes and prayed to Draco.
"Dear Draco, please let me find a mate. I just want to have love in my life. That's all I ask. Please Draco, help me out."
Even if he did pray, he figured that a god like Draco didn't have time to meddle in the lives of mortal dragons. Draco was probably busy doing something like running the heavens and here Toothless was asking him to do a favor.
Toothless slumped his head to the ground.
"Maybe I'm suppose to be lonely."
Little did the he knew that a series of dramatic events would unfold that would change his life for better, or for worse.
