CHAPTER ONE
STRANGE EVENTS
-Intro-
six months had passed since the battle with Drago's Bewilderbeast, the reparations of Berk where still in progress and Hiccup was finding his place as chief, and with help from his mother and Astrid made things easier. most of the new dragons that had come with the black Bewilderbeast just opted to stay in Berk due to the convenience and the simple fact that it was where their new alpha resided
just as Hiccup had, Toothless had to find his way being an alpha to such a big colony of dragons that laid scattered across the whole island, but he soon found out that is not that hard of a job to do, true he had to keep track of as many dragons as he could but besides that and the occasional fire or fight here and there things where pretty much paradise. it had taken the effort of many dragons and Vikings to break the ice the Bewilderbeast had left all over the relatively small village but they had managed to clear it out. the reconstruction of the village itself was not that much either. Hiccup and him along with some of the other riders helped rebuild the village, getting it done in less time that they would've without the help from the dragons. but then again that had happened just over five months ago, and right now life was close to perfect in the island...
-a year later, present time-
Toothless had spent most of his day sleeping in the warm rays from the sun just outside of Hiccup's house. his rider had been very busy lately and he ended up with nothing much to do but sleep, not that he didn't like that by any means, he loved the warmth from the sun and the softness of the grass he was currently sleeping on, it was his favorite spot to relax. while immersed in his sleep he heard the sound of some approaching footsteps...or footstep, to be precise. he opened one eye just as Hiccup plopped down next to him with a sigh. "enjoying your downtime eh?" a soft croon from his dragon was the only answer he got as Toothless closed his eye again "I'll take that as a yes then" Hiccup pressed his back against the reptile's sun-warmed scales and closed his eyes as well, after a few minutes he sat back up "Toothless?" he said patting the dragon's head "what do you say if we go out for a small flight?" at the mention of flight Toothless instantly stood up, fully awake, and started to quickly nudge Hiccup to get up and in a matter of seconds both where high above Berk
there where not many things that Hiccup enjoyed doing, especially lately, but flying sure was at the top of his list. the sheer feeling of the wind rushing past him and the exhilarating sound produced when Toothless reached his top speed was just sheer fun, he loved it, both did, and after loosing up some steam with some tricks and high speed maneuvers both ended up peacefully gliding above the clouds as the sun finally met the ocean in the distance. Hiccup laid down in the black dragon's back, looking at the clear sky above them, he closed his eyes enjoying the fresh temperature and beautiful scenery that Berk always offered at sundown, a growl from his dragon made him sit straight up again "what is it bud?" the Night fury was looking down to the clouds beneath them, they went down under them and Hiccup could finally see what was going on, there was a big dragon flying some distance beneath them, and when I say big, I mean BIG dragon, a fully grown Timberjack was gliding at an unusually low altitude, it stayed on the same position before finally landing at the far end of the island opposite from the village "what is a Timberjack doing on Berk?" Hiccup asked himself, it was an unusual thing to see a Timberjack, even more this close to Berk, they usually stayed in bigger islands with large forests that they could live in. Berk was not small by any means, but it wasn't that big either. exited Hiccup decided to get closer to the Timberjack, it had a slightly darker color than others he had seen, it probably came from the south, somewhere with a little more humidity and maybe even slightly warmer temperatures. after some time of flying around the Timberjack both dragon and rider turned around and headed to the village, just as the other dragon found a place to settle. back at his house Hiccup was glad to find his mother and Astrid talking comfortably in the table while Stormfly tried to persuade Cloudjumper to play a game with her, but as soon as Toothless entered she ran towards him, knowing that he was a more playful dragon that the Stormcutter
"Hi mom, Astrid"
"where were you for the past hours?" Valka asked
"I decided to take a time to relax after the meeting and went flying with Toothless"
"and how was it?"
"I-it was interesting, to say the least"
"and why is that?" Astrid asked standing up
"well just before coming back we spotted a Timberjack"
"a Timberjack?, this close to Berk?"
"yeah do you know what would it be doing here mom?"
"I wish, is not like this is their ideal habitat nor their migration route"
"the thing here is that it actually settled in the other side of the island"
"are you sure Hiccup?"
"cut up some trees, burned some others, scorched the ground a little. I'm pretty sure it was settling down"
"well I might get over there sometime tomorrow with Cloudjumper to take a look"
"maybe I should go too"
"no, you have to stay and manage the village, the dragon races are almost here and the people want to know how is everything going to be organized"
"right..."
"well, I'll leave you two to talk, I'm going to get some sleep" she looked at her dragon "come on Cloudjumper, we have quite a day tomorrow" Cloudjumper crooned and followed Valka into her room. leaving Hiccup and Astrid alone
"so you really have no idea what a Timberjack would be doing here?" Astrid asked
"not a clue, and you?"
"I'm know as much as you do"
"well hopefully my mom will get something about it tomorrow"
"hopefully. how was the meeting?"
"nothing out of the ordinary. lots of people, talking all at once. not the best combination when you want to have a peaceful meeting where you actually discuss something"
"you should really try to find a way to organize them and actually let you talk"
"I have, but you where busy with the twins today and that got your hands full"
"will there ever be a meeting where I don't have to be there for people to behave?"
"I'm looking forwards to that day. what did the twins got stuck today?"
"it was more Snotlout. Tuffnut started teasing him about how he would never get Ruff and well, things escalated very quickly from that point on"
"I wonder who will Ruffnut stay with at the end"
"she's still into Eret"
"and how long do you think it will take for her to realize that she's fighting for a lost cause?"
"with Ruff you can never know"
"yeah"
"well I'm going to go back to my house, I'll see if I can help you out with the meeting tomorrow"
"please do" Astrid smiled back at Hiccup before calling Stormfly, she gave Hiccup a small kiss before walking out the door with her dragon in tow. with a sigh Hiccup started to walk up the stars followed by Toothless, he plopped down on his bed staring at the ceiling as the Night fury heated his rock for the night. in less than an hour both where soundly asleep.
Hiccup slowly opened his eyes the following morning, sunlight peered trough his slightly open window, he sat down on his bed and looked at Toothless. the black dragon was curled up on his rock with his wings hanging off the sides, the young chief couldn't help but smirk at the image. he reached out to grab his metal prosthetic and putting it on before dressing up properly, he descended the stairs slowly and took something to eat before getting out of the house.
-Toothless' POV-
it had been a long time since I had a good night of sleep, I usually ended up waking up in the middle of the night (thanks to the nocturnal nature of a Night fury of course) and stay up for an hour or two before being able to go back to sleep. but this night was different, it managed to sleep soundly trough and even got the luxury of waking up later than I usually do.
I opened my eyes and found that Hiccup was not in the room, poor guy, he needs to get some time off, I stood up slowly and stretched my wings, accidentally knocking over one of Hiccup's many sketchbooks on the floor. before anything else happened I decided to go outside. downstairs next to the stairs was a basket full with fish, I ate it contently and continued to head for the door
once outside I couldn't help but notice something different...something was off, I didn't know if it was just me, or some sort of alpha instinct, but I felt like there where more dragons than the day before...I looked around and saw multiple groups of Terrible terrors that stuck together, a small group of Monstrous nightmares , all with different colorations than the ones I had seen before, all had a darker scheme. in a nearby hill even three Rumblehorns. these where dragons that I was sure where not here yesterday, they had moved over night. why and where did they came from? I had no idea, but I was going to figure it out. I approached the closest dragons, being the small group of Nightmares, I knew that these dragons could be very stubborn at times, I learned that from Hookfang, but I had to give it a try, I needed to know why where all these dragons appearing on Berk
Casually I walked towards the group, when I was close enough they turned around, looking directly at me, not a tiny bit impressed
"Excuse me, I would like to ask why and what are you doing in this island and if the other dragons came with you"
A brown Nightmare, the one in the middle, spoke first "and why, may I know, should we tell you?"
I was taken back by the acidity of the tone in which he answered. I stood straighter and looked directly at him "I am in charge of this island and the dragons that inhabit it, if you are to stay, I must know why are you here in the first place"
"Even if you are in charge of the island, you have no power over us" he added closing up in me. Now I knew for sure there was no reasoning with this one. My eyes turned to slits as a growl formed in my throat, my back spines started to glow a little "you're not our alpha"
what?...my curiosity instantly got the best of me again "what do you mean?"
"You might be a Night Fury but that doesn't give you any power over us. we only answer to our Alpha, not you"
"where do you dragons come from?" instead of receiving an answer the group just flew off. With an exasperated sigh I turned to the group of Rumblehorns, as soon as they saw me approach they turned around to face me, immediately bowing down, I stood straight and looked at the one in the front
"Greetings, alpha, my friends and I come from an island far to the south of here, we have to move out due to an accident and we would like to request your permission to stay here"
"you may stay here as long as you play by the rules, but I must ask, are all the other small groups of dragons here with you?"
"yes, we all come from the same nest"
"and what happened to make all of you move out?"
"Our nest got attacked, we fought back but after a while of fighting we realized there was no use, we had lost many dragons by the time some of the groups decided to leave, the ones that stayed where the ones closest to the Alpha"
"When did this happened?"
"Almost two days ago. Our island is a day's flight from here"
"Who is your alpha?"
The three Rumblehorns glanced amongst them before the one on the left, a gray and sliver one, nodded "our Alpha is another Night Fury"
My eyes widened, another Night Fury?. Hiccup and I hadn't actually explored much of the south, not that far at least. I nodded "thanks for your information" I said as they bowed again as I left
As I walked back to the house i started to think about what the Rumblehorn had said, another attack?, and not that far from Berk, aside the fact of the other Night Fury...one thing was for sure now, I had to find a way to tell Hiccup and set course towards that island, find out who attacked it and find more clues about their alpha
Ok so i don't know if i should keep this up or not so your feedback really helps me out. reviews, critiques, ideas, anything you have will be greatly appreciated.
