"AHHHH! Ahhh! AH!" Hiccup yelled as he scrambled across the room, as if he was trying to run away from his new dark-brown appendages. He continued his panicked laps around the room until he ran himself into the dresser, his face falling right into a plant resembling grass. He found himself suddenly very relaxed, his pupils dilating as he limply collapsed to the floor. He dumbly smiled, the edges of his vision blurred as he stared at the ceiling.
"Well someone found the dragon nip." Said a strange new voice. Hiccup looked over, tilting his head as his eyes narrowed, his vision returning to normal as he sprang to his feet.
"Where am I?" Hiccup said, hostility clear in his voice. The flame of anger died down a bit when he saw that the person who had approached him was a child; about 10, maybe 11. He had light orange medium-length hair that was rather messy and strands of it hung in his face. His eyes were dark brown, and he was wearing a pretty standard outfit, a mere pale green shirt and dark green pants. The only thing that threw him off was the dragon-like wings, tail, and horns... similar to a terrible terror's.
"Your in the number one underground village in the world!" Said the enthusiastic kid. "Well... the only underground village in the world. That I know of."
"Why am I here? Who are you?" Hiccup snarled back. Despite the age, he still needed answers.
"Well, I'm Kayden. You're here because we saved you from certain death."
Hiccup narrowed his eyes, trying to recall what had happened.
He and his friends had gone to Changewing island because for some reason, some Typhoomerangs had come onto the island. The dragons had become defensive towards them and began attacking. Most of them held up well, but Hiccup had been shot down by a changewing. He could remember falling off toothless, who had strangely not been hit, and he heard his roar before he blacked out.
"How could you have saved me? I was shot with acid!" He spoke with confusion and uncertainty.
Suddenly, another stranger entered through the doorway. He looked to be about 18, rather muscular. He had bright white hair with streaks of light yellow that was slicked back. He had a faded blue shirt with spiked shoulder pads, dark blue pants, and brown boots with bent down tops. He had a spiked belt and one spiked fingerless glove. He also had patches of dragon scales all across his body most notably on the right side of his face, nadder-like wings and tail, but no horns.
"The Great Dragon. He can heal anyone." The man said, smirking a bit. "I am Thornwing. I have been charged with the task of being your mentor. What is your name?"
"I'm Hiccup... what do you mean by mentor? And why do you both have wings and tails? Why do I have wings and a tail?!"
"All will be explained soon. Come, it's dinner time."
Everyone turned their heads as Hiccup, Toothwing, and Kayden walked through the halls of the strange underground community. It would have been a normal village, if it weren't for the fact that everyone had dragon wings, tails, and horns. They all looked at him, intrigued by the newcomer. Hiccup felt rather uncomfortable with everyone staring at him. He felt something on top of his head, and when he reached on top of his head, he felt what seemed like... night fury ears.
Eventually they had reached a cave that looked like a picnic area. It had patches of grass all over, with picnic tables all over, and a small kitchen off to the side. Some kids were chasing each other in some sort of game.
Hiccup, Toothwing, and Kayden sat down at an empty table. He was handed a plate with fish and some sort of salad.
"So... do you guys have some kind of chief?" Hiccup said sheepishly as he picked at his food.
"Yes we do. He should be coming here soon to announce that you've joined the village."
"Ok that's great, I was wondering-"
Kayden and Toothwing motioned for him to be quiet, looking to their right in full attention. He almost spoke, before he looked over and saw a man in chief's clothes, medium length sandy blonde hair with dark red streaks, and the dragon like features of a rumblehorn.
"As many of you may have noticed, we have a new member of our village. I expect all of you to treat him with the upmost welcoming and kindness." He spoke with a thick russian accent that boomed from the tall rock podium. "I ask that the newcomer come up here and introduce himself."
Kayden and Toothwing nodded to him to go up. Hiccup raised an eyebrow, not knowing how he could get up to the incredibly tall pillar. Kayden flapped his wings, and Hiccup nodded in response, remembering his brand new night fury-like wings. He got up, flapping his wings and beginning to take off.
He gritted his teeth, finding it more difficult than he thought to fly. He jumped, getting a bit higher but not yet flying. Just when he thought he couldn't do it, he stayed in the air once he lifted off. He smiled, flying the rest of the way to the chief, almost falling but always getting back on a steady pace. He finally reached the top.
"What's your name?" The chief welcomingly said.
"My name is Hiccup, but I have a few questions."
"What do you want to know?"
"Look, you guys seem nice, and I have to admit... having dragon wings is pretty cool. But I can't stay here. I have my own village, and my friends have no idea where I am!" To this the chief sighed, shaking his head. "Come with me, my boy."
