Hey! Look who decided to get off their butt and update this thing!
The pair had been attempting to track the Night Fury, but with little success. After another dead trail, Hiccup sighed.
"Looks like it's good at covering its tracks, Bud," he scratched near Toothless' chin nubs gently, "It's getting late. Let's land down on that island and rest up a bit before going home, our family will be getting worried soon." Toothless warbled in agreement before tilting into a shallow dive towards the island.
As they spiraled down towards the island, Hiccup noticed the sad look in Toothless' eyes, and put his hand on the dragon's neck. "Hey, it's okay, Bud. Look, at least we know there's another Night Fury out there at all! We'll find it, I promise." Toothless crooned and leaned into Hiccup's touch, blinking in appreciation as he did so.
All of a sudden, a dark shape flew off of the island and sped past Hiccup and Toothless, throwing them off balance. Hiccup managed to stay on, and he quickly maneuvered the prosthetic to help his friend regain stability. The pair turned quickly and saw the dragon speeding away. Toothless chirped a roar, and with a quick glance at each other, the two seamlessly dove and gave chase.
No words needed to be spoken as the two pursued the other Night Fury, both dragon and rider working on instinct. Toothless roared to the other dragon, in hopes that he could catch its attention. The Night Fury stopped and looked around, hovering momentarily, before Toothless saw it's ear frills spring up in alarm and it dove away flying even faster than it had been previously. Needless to say, Toothless was confused. Shouldn't the other dragon be as excited to see another Night Fury as he was? Hiccup noticed Toothless cock his head and warble questioningly.
"Don't worry, Bud," he reassured the dragon, "It's probably just shy," Toothless snorted a bit, but continued on. The other Night Fury was gaining speed quickly; in order to catch up, Toothless folded in his wings and fins (With Hiccup adjusting the prosthetic accordingly) and moved into a dive to increase his speed.
Within seconds they had almost caught up to the other dragon. Toothless pumped his wings to move up the last few tail-lengths when the other Night Fury swerved to the left and dove towards an island. Hiccup and Toothless followed. Once on the island, the other Night Fury was nowhere to be seen.
"It couldn't have just disappeared," Hiccup thought aloud as he hopped off of Toothless. He switched from his riding prosthetic to his walking one as Toothless warbled to Hiccup, who looked up and jogged over to his friend.
"You find something, Bud?" He asked, scratching lightly behind his ear frills. Toothless warbled again, and walked forward a few paces. He stopped and looked back to make sure Hiccup was following before sniffing the air and starting off again. Every so often, he would stop and listen or sniff before heading off again.
Hiccup followed, a bit bemused,"Perhaps Toothless should be reclassified as a Tracker Class dragon," he joked to himself, when the dragon in question stopped and warbled excitedly. Hiccup looked up and saw a cave. The pair looked at each other with identical excitement in their eyes before heading into the cave mouth.
So there you go! Chapter two. Yes there will be more chapters, how many? I have no idea.
Until next time,
