How To Be A Dragon Whisperer

Chapter 2: Big Choppers

Everything belongs to dreamworks, I only own Tom and my dragon OC Chopper.


This forest is so big, I can't imagine anyone being able to find their way through it, but that loud roar from before made me want to see what it was from; I'm still wondering how this happened, I had just came home and met my mom for dinner, I went to bed after that, but when I woke up, I found myself on an island in the past, not to mention I not only met a real life dragon, but my great grandfather Hiccup as well. 'Could this be a dream, sure doesn't feel like it. Besides, I don't think I would've met my great grandad in a dream anyway, I never even met him until now.'

Another roar was heard around the forest, but it was different than before, the noise that I heard came from behind me; I felt a sudden surge of fear overwhelm me, whatever made that sound had me at a stand still. That's when I felt it, there was this warm air coming from behind me, or to be more specific, someone was breathing on me, making a low growling sound that was animal like. I tried to turn as slowly as I could, and when I did I found another dragon in front of me. It was actually the same as Toothless, but the only major difference was its eyes, they were blood red. 'Okay, just stay calm, if this actually is a dream, there's no way I can get hurt.'

That same strange thing with Toothless happened to me again, the dragons growling sounded like actual words saying 'I would eat you, but you're way to scrawny.'

"Wait, who are you calling scrawny," I exclaimed, only to have him growl again. "Okay, I'll admit I'm skinny, but I could kick your scaly ass any day!"

That might've been a bad thing to say on my end, the dragon roared and tried to use his claws on my chest, my shirt got cut and I could feel it on my skin as well. He flew off, but as he extended his wings, his right wing hit a tree branch, causing him to fall somewhere far away. "Oh man, he should've saw that coming."

I thought of walking back the way I came, but something stopped me, it was guilt; I felt like that wouldn't have happened to the dragon if I didn't enrage him, what if he got severely hurt? "This feels like a bad idea, but I have to help somehow."

I tried following where he fell, running as fast as I could, but I ended up falling from a cliff and into a small lake; I was actually glad no one saw that, but as I got out of the lake, I found that same dragon from before. Something was wrong with his right wing, it looked like a bone was moved out of place from that hit. I realized something else, the dragon looked thinner than Toothless, I don't think he's been eating for a while. I tried to walk towards him, but he growled at me and moved away. "Wait, I'm sorry for what just happened, I shouldn't have said that to you. I want to fix what I've done, so let me help you."

(A/N: You can probably tell where Tom is, it's where Hiccup found Toothless.)

The dragon growled at me again, asking why it should trust me. "Because... I'm the only one who can. So please, trust me."

The dragon watched me from where he stood, staring into my eyes as I stared into his, I don't know what he thought, but he finally gave in and came closer to me. "Okay, now let me see your wing."

The dragon struggled as much as he could to open his wing up, but the pain just gave him a hard time; luckly he was able to open it enough for me to examine it. "I was right, it was broken, maybe I can fix that."

I saw a tree branch on the ground next to a tree, a idea ran into my head with it, so I went to grab it and came back to the dragon. "Put this in your mouth, it'll ease the pain."

He did what he was told, placing the branch in his teeth. "Now then, this'll hurt... a lot."

By using what I learned from my mom, I moved the broken wing and realigned it back in place. The dragon felt so much pain that he broke the branch in his mouth and fired a blue fireball at the wall. "Sorry about that, must've felt painful huh?"

He only gave me a look that said 'What the hell do you think!?'. "Sorry, but how does your wing feel?"

The dragon felt hesitant at first, but as he slowly opened his wing, he realized that his wing felt better, it didn't feel painful at all. "I'm glad you feel better, but you might want to fly tomorrow, you need to be careful."

He seemed glad, but then he started to sniff the air, walking even closer to me; he started walking around me, right until he stopped and kept smelling my left pocket. "What... oh yeah!"

I actually forgot, I rummaged into my pocket to grab a snickers bar I never ate. "You must be hungry, if you like you can have it."

That's just what he did, he didn't even give me a chance to take it out of the rapper, he just snatched it with his mouth and ate it. "Man, so you were that hungry?"

The dragon only gave one of those dragon sounds and sat down in satisfaction, so I sat down next to him. "Glad you liked it, too bad it was all I had."

The dragon gave off a grunting sound, saying that he agreed. "So, do you have a name?"

He gave another grunting sound, he didn't have a name, but he said that he was known as a night fury. "A night fury, just like Toothless, wait, how come you have teeth then?"

To my amazement, when he opened his mouth, the dragon had nothing but gums. "What, I could've sworn I saw teeth."

The night fury's teeth appeared instantly, they were as sharp as blades! I had jumped back in fear as he made a sound that sounded like chuckling. "Dude, those are some big choppers! Oh wait, that's a pretty good name, do you like it?"

He thought about it for a couple of minutes, and finally gave me a nod of approval. "Alright, then I'll call you Chopper." Chopper then gave me a dumbfounded look. "What do you think I was talking about, besides, you need a name to go with your title." He said the name was weird. "I thought it fit pretty well, since you have those sharp teeth. Oh yeah, my name is Tom."

Chopper gave off a weird look, saying that my name and my outfit was unfamiliar to him, asking where I came from. "Well, you see I... would you really believe what I say?" I asked, he said he wouldn't at first, but since I fixed his wing, he said he would try. "Okay, hope your comfortable, cause this might take a while, and I'm not good at explainations."

So I told Chopper everything, I told him I was from the future, explaining as good as possible how life changed; that vikings were no more, people had different lives, but he was more surprised when I told him that dragons became extinct. "I'm sorry to have to tell you that, I wish I knew what happened to all the dragons in the world."

I didn't say anything else, I fell into fetal position, waiting for a reply. That's when I heard it, tell me more about your life. "Do you really want to listen?" Chopper gave a nod, I'll tell you mines if you tell me yours, that's what he said. "A dragons story, when you put it that way, then alright."

So we started talking together, I told him all about me, it didn't really look like he was listening since his eyes were closed, but the way he had his left ear up made me know he was listening; then I heard his story, it felt so profound, I just kept listening in astonishment, Chopper had the voice of a wiseman, but the funny thing about it was that he was actually 25 years old! Before I even knew it, we talked all the way till nightfall. "Wow, our stories were so long that it lasted till dark."

He gave out a sigh to agree, I got up and walked a few steps away from him. "I'll let you have your space, have a goodnights' rest, your wing should be better tomorrow."

I laid on the ground, as hard as it was, I did my best to sleep, but the cold air made my skin crawl; it felt as if I was aggravated by the air itself, but thinking about it, the thought of not seeing my mom again made me a little sad. I then felt something, my body was being lifted up a little bit, when I woke up, I found Chopper sitting behind my back, his rough but comfortable scales pressing on my back. "Thanks, this is nice of you."

For fixing my wing, and for keeping me company, that's what he said. Chopper unfolded his left wing and wrapped it around my body, it gave off a warm feeling, it felt nice. "Chopper, is it okay... if we could be friends?"

I didn't hear anything, there wasn't a sound in the whole forest, but as I fell soundly asleep, words started to come into my mind, those words made me smile, they said 'Yes, I'll be your friend, because you're... an intresting human.'
