Chapter One: A New Life
"Hiccup!" Valka cried out as she ran into her home. She watched in mute horror as the giant Stormcutter stood over her infant son's bassinet. She looked for anything that could help her kill the thing before it harmed her son. Her eyes narrowed onto the sword on the wall, and she immediately grabbed a hold of it. She started walking slowly towards the Dragon and her son. When she heard a sound she wasn't expecting. Laughter.
Her baby boy, Hiccup, was laughing. She stopped and stared at the owl like Dragon, and saw what it really was. Harmless. She saw that it was slowly rocking her son, and never before had she seen such an act, but before she could put the sword down the Dragon turned its gaze towards her. The Dragon's eyes turned to slits when it saw the sword, and before Valka could throw it to the ground. The fire had already been unleashed from the creatures throat. Immediately igniting the building, and Hiccup started to cry for his mother. Valka tried to get through the flames and to her son, but she couldn't.
She watched as the Dragon turned back towards the bassinet, and before Valka could blink it took a hold of him. "Hiccup!" She screamed as the Stormcutter took off with her only son. Almost immediately Stoick burst through the door brandishing his axe, but immediately dropped them when he saw his wife sobbing on the floor.
"Val what is it. What's wrong?" He asked, but then he turned his head towards the now knocked over bassinet, and immediately knew what happened.
"I-It took him Stoick. Our baby is gone!" Valka sobbed and Stoick wrapped his arms around his grieving wife. He bowed his head as he felt tears fall down his face. He only held is wide tighter to him, and he vowed to kill every last Dragon he saw. If it meant that no one else in his village had to go through this.
"I'm here Val, I'm here everything will be fine I promise," Stoick said softly as he hugged his sobbing wife, and stared up at the starry night sky. He just hopped he could keep that promise.
While miles away a Stormcutter also known as Cloudjumper flew towards his sanctuary. He flew with a group of other dragons towards Dragon Mountain. He held the infant close to his chest as he flew, but that didn't stop the crying. Cloudjumper knew that it would take a while for the infant boy to stop crying, but he was fine with that. Cloudjumper just hoped the Alpha would allow him to have the infant as his own Hatchling.
Cloudjumper swooped down towards the ocean, and he flew through the many twists and turns of Dragon Mountain. He felt the infant shiver and Cloudjumper immediately pulled the infant tighter into his body. He didn't want the child to get hypothermia. He was about to swoop down to the last tunnel. When something caught his eye. It was barely distinguishable in the shadows, but Cloudjumper knew something was definitely there. With a quick turn in direction he swooped down to the ledge, and saw that the object was an egg. Black as night, and Cloudjumper immediately knew what type of egg it was, but he didn't understand what it would be doing all the way out here. Though he wouldn't leave the poor thing to die. So he gently scooped the egg up in his back paw, and took off down the tunnel.
Cloudjumper soon emerged into the large space that was Dragon Mountain. The ceiling made of beautiful ice. While the floor was filled with ferns and grass, and a beautiful lake. While in the middle of that lake lay their Alpha. The almighty Bewilderbeast. Cloudjumper swooped and gently put the egg down before landing on his hind legs. He held the infant gently in his arms.
"Yes Cloudjumper?" A wise but kind voice asked, and immediately Cloudjumper bowed as best as he could.
"My Alpha, I am here to ask for permission to take a infant human in as my own," Cloudjumper stated, and he heard the Bewilderbeast chuckle softly.
"My child you not need to ask me that. My sanctuary is for anyone that needs a home to call their own. A place where lost souls can finally become whole again, but if it's an answer you want. Than yes you have my permission, but I see an egg beside you child. What of that?" The Bewilderbeast said, and Cloudjumper sagged in relief. Before answering the question.
"I found the egg on a ledge in one of the tunnels. I didn't want to it to perish so I took it," Cloudjumper responded evenly, and he watched as the Bewilderbeast think about his response.
"Than you will take care of that Hatchling as well. Now what are the names of the two new Hatchling's to our sanctuary?" The Bewilderbeast asked, and Cloudjumper started to think about the names. He knew that arguing with the Alpha about taking the egg in would be pointless, because he would have taken the egg in anyways, but he didn't know what to the name the Hatchling's. Before he know exactly what to call them.
"My Alpha I will call the human infant Hiccup, respecting his mother's choice, and I will call the Night Fury Hatchling Toothless," Cloudjumper stated proud of himself for coming up the names. He could sense that the egg was a male, and he hoped he was right.
"Good and strong names. Now I must ask you why you stole the infant child Cloudjumper," The Bewilderbeast said and immediately Cloudjumper nodded in understanding.
"Because, he wasn't afraid of me. He looked at me and I felt like I was staring at a wise old man, and not an infant. So when his mother attacked with a sword I reacted. I ignited the house, and took the infant with me. I don't fully understand why, but I can feel that this young boy is special," Cloudjumper explained and the Bewilderbeast seemed to accept his answer.
"Alright Cloudjumper, I believe you will be an excellent father to these two, but my only restriction is that you may not mate until these mature," The Bewilderbeast stated and Cloudjumper nodded in understanding.
"I won't my Alpha I promise," Cloudjumper said with another bow. Which caused Hiccup's head to raise a little, and immediately the infant started to giggle and reached towards the King Dragon. The Bewilderbeast looked at the child with kind eyes before turning his attention back to Cloudjumper.
"Take good care of them Cloudjumper," The Bewilderbeast ordered and Cloudjumper immediately nodded.
"I will my Alpha I promise," Cloudjumper said with conviction, and the Bewilderbeast nodded before submerging underwater once again. With a sigh Cloudjumper turned his attention back to the infant and the egg, and he only know wondered what he was doing.
Hope you guys liked it. Hopefully this story will be unique and not a cliché, and there's a reason why Toothless is still in his egg. I'm sorry for all the misspelled/missing words.
