Chapt 1 Taking off
Toothless roared with delight and flapped above the clouds. He steadied his wings out and glided. Toothless looked over to see Gothi's house, perched high above Berk. Toothless tilted his wings to the right to glide closer to Gothi's house, when a sudden, but very strong, gust of wind swept his right wing under him and went he spinning out of control. Toothless roared in alarm and folded his wings and snapped his tailfin closed. The night fury stopped spinning and dropped like a opened his wings back up after a few seconds of free falling. He hovered for a few moments, gave one one big flap, tucked his wings in dove, but this time, was diving head first. His tailfins, real and prosthetic, and secondary wings were both folded tight as he dove.
When Toothless was about 100 feet above the treeline, Toothless flared his wings out, and a large gust of wind pulled him up. Toothless then opened his tailfin and flapped forward, looking for an open space to land. Toothless soon located an field of grass by a lake surrounded by large rocky walls. Toothless realized that this was the place Toothless had landed after Hiccup had set him free from the bola. It was also where Hiccup had earned Toothless's trust and helped him to fly once again. He looked around. He saw the now worn shield that had gotten wedged between two rocks the first time Hiccup come into the cove to see Toothless.
Toothless dove down and skimmed the small lake in the middle of the small snow-covered valley. Toothless pulled up slightly as he approached the sandy bank. Toothless fluttered his wings and jumped down onto the sandy ground. Toothless folded his black wings and walked up the bank into the snow.
As the dragon waded around in the knee high snow, he soon realized how hungry he was. So, the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself shuffled through the snow back to the water's edge and crouched and stood as still as he could and waited. After a minute or two, a fish finally swam up to the water's edge.
After a moment of pausing, the night fury struck. A moment later, a whole salmon lay squirming helplessly in Toothless's paws. With one swift swipe, Toothless slit the throat of the salmon with one talon. The silvery-colored fish almost immediately fell limp. Toothless was about to throw it up into the air and eat it raw but he stopped suddenly. He remembered how Hiccup would cook his fish before eating. Once, though, Toothless had snatched a bite of cooked fish and actually found it quite good.
Okay, so you need fire to cook fish, but if I fire a blast, it'll explode the fish. I guess i'll just have to breathe a gentle, but hot plasma-fire. Just enough to light a soft fire. But i'll need sticks to keep the fire going. Toothless decided, and picked up the salmon in his jaws to go find some kindling.
After Toothless had a good pile of sticks collected, he dug a shallow pit in the dirt and threw in all of the sticks in, and lit the sticks with a puff of light plasma fire. He then hooked a talon under one of the fish's gills and held it over the fire.
Soon the fish was cooked and Toothless threw it in the air caught it in his widely parted, and very hungry, mouth. Toothless then yawned and looked around for a sturdy tree. He lumbered over to a large oak that was bare of leaves. He flapped up to a large limb looped his tail around and hung suspended from the the tree by his tail. he then wrapped his wings around him like a bat and soon fell fast asleep.
Toothless roused awake and blinked his open, only to be greeted by darkness. Toothless, after befriending Hiccup, had started being awake during the day and sleeping at night. But instincts told him to sleep during the day and hunt and fly by night. The night fury spread his wings and swung himself upright, throwing himself over the branch and dipped a few feet before he inches from the ground before whipping his tailfins open and fanned his wings, swooping upward.
Toothless kept his tailfin out as flapped up above the clouds so he'd have room for error. Toothless steadied his his wings straight out and glided. He tilted left wing down slightly he tilted slightly in a spiral. bringing his his wings straight up again, he thought, Let's kick it up a notch.
Toothless twisted into a barrel roll and pulled his wings into a steep dive. He shot out the clouds and dove toward the ocean. He whipped open his wings and skimmed the ocean above some thunderdrums that were swimming just above the surface of the water. He flew over one thunderdrum's wing and then made a daring, very tight barrel roll under another thunderdrum's wing as it came above the surface. He roared with farewell and goodnight to the thunderdrums, who roared back, and flew upward. Once he was back up high, he tilted his wings and back in the direction towards Berk. As he shot forward, He knew Hiccup, along with the other vikings, would all be asleep. So instead, he dove down towards to the whole wad of sea stacks that made and excellent obstacle course. First gliding through the arch, He then tilted his wings so he was flying completely vertical, and flew through the next two sea stacks. Toothless tightened himself and prepared for the next set. As he came to the next sea stacks. a black mass shot in front of him. Toothless roared in alarm and pulled his wings up to a halt and see what happened. He saw nothing more, so decided it was nothing and flew on. Toothless looked up at the partly clouded night sky decided, he wanted to be up there, above above the clouds. Where a night fury belongs. High up in the sky.
Toothless angled his wings up soared up towards the clouds and the night sky. The nightfury burst above the clouds and glided. Toothless tipped his head his head upward to look at the stars. The stars were always so pretty, and the Aurora Borealis that appeared most winter nights. He liked to go on night flights with Hiccup to go stargazing. Hiccup, Toothless was hit with a pang of sadness. He missed Hiccup already and he had only left yesterday. Toothless was lost in thought when, something black burst out of the clouds directly in frontf him. Toothless roared in aggravation and alarm as the shape disappeared once again. He flapped and hovered in place, looking around desperately searching for the thing. he then heard a familiar sound that was only made by one creature. Ruuurrrrr
And from out of the clouds, shot a nightfury.
