(A/N) So I'm writing a few chapter before actually posting. Here's chapter two of Winged Allies, might change that title later though. Your all amazing, and please review! Stoick may seem a little OC and maybe Hiccup to, but that's because they havn't really talked or listened to the other till now, so it's gonna change there train of thought a bit.
"Dad what are we going to do?" Hiccup asked, his dad having a death grip on his sleeve. "I-I I'll think o-of something. You can't go get help, that Nadders to fast, and we can't cut these vines." Stoick cursed his stuttering, but he was more focused on fighting his trap to hold Hiccup so he didn't do something crazy.
The Deadly Nadder saw Stoick and Hiccup. It saw Hiccup cutting the vines, and cursed the boys weapon. The dragon lunged at them, but never made a blow. It growled ferociouslt as the Nightmare flamed up, pushing it to it's side.
Hiccups eyes widened at the same time as his dads. "D-Did he just..." He trailed off. "I don't know anymore." Stoick was confused as well. Another attack couldn't get thorough, as the Nightmare took the Deadly Nadders tail spine to it's leg. "No." Hiccups voice was quiet. If the Nightmare was down then...
A loud roar echoed thorought the air, and suddenly a large black dragon landed near Hiccup and Stoick. "That roar must've been the Monsterious Nightmares distress call." Hiccup said to himself as Stoick nodded. They observed the dragon who was protecting the Nightmare, and realization suddenly struck them.
"Night Fury." Stoicks voice was stunned, along with his sons expression. The Night Fury made the Nadder run off with one blast, before it turned around to smell the Nightmare. He roared, but not with anger. He sounded...sympathetic.
"I thought dragons couldn't feels sympathy. Then again, I didn't know they could be curious without killing either." Stoick was now talking to himself. This had to be some crazy dream. Suddenly the Night Fury lifted his head, before looking at Hiccup and Stoick with anger.
Once he had walked maybe five steps towards father and son, the Nightmare raised his head roaring. The Night Fury turned around, and the two dragons seemed to be in conversation.
What do you mean this boy didn't attack you? He's a viking! The Night fury roared in Dragoneese. He smelled like a woman who once saved me from an attacker. He looks like her to. He didn't fight me. He dropped his weapon, and lay under me without anger. He was afraid, but didn't attack. I've never seen a viking do that. The Nightmare protested. So he dropped his only weapon instead of hurting you? Now the Night Fury was confused. Yes! He used it to cut his dad free of his trap, but when I attacked, and pinned him down, the boys Dagur was far away. If he was going to hurt me with it, he wouldv'e been holding it tighter. I could tell he had no intentions of wanting to fight. He was just scared, just like we are when we're trapped.
Hiccup and Stoick watched the two dragons seeming to talk to each other, wile forgetting the thick vines around Stoick for a bit. After they finished within a few minutes, the Night Furys mood changed from angry to curious in an instant. He walked closer to Hiccup and Stoick, with wide pupils.
Stoick fought his trap, but the Night Fury roared at him, making him stop. He was stubborn, not stupid. Hiccup didn't back into his dad like he did before though. Instead, he looked just as curious as the dragons. The Night Fury sniffed him, then turned to his friend, roaring worriedly.
"He needs help. You can't remove that spine." Hiccup said to himself. The dragon nodded, then opeaned his mouth to reveal.."Toothless? I couldv'e sworn you had-" The dragon showed his teeth, then retracted them again. "Oh..." Hiccup smiled at his discovery, and the Night Fury sat up like he was.
"What is he doing?" Stoick asked, holding onto his son. The Night Fury seemed to mimic Hiccups smile with no teeth. "What? H-He's.." "Smiling?" Stoick finished his son. "Dad..if this dragon isn't threatening us, then don't we owe it to him to remove that Nadder spine? You always told me vikings fight and don't surrender. Only our enemy's will drop there weapons and give in. Dragons breethe fire and show there teeth in battle, but this ones doing the exact oposite. The Nightmare protected us." Hiccup looked down at his hands.
Stoick was about to say that it was a crazy idea, but then he saw his sons expression. The boy looked upset, and he seemed to be expecting something harsh.
"But aren't you afraid i'll mess it up?"
Stoick could help.
"Hiccup there's something I need to tell you."
He was interupted before telling his son about his mothers opinions about the war.
Stoick remembered earlier that night, and sighed. He was trapped, and Hiccup was stubborn. Maybe he could let his son have the ideas, just once. He didn't know why he felt this way, the past few events, seeing his son, thinking about his wife, he just felt the need to act more like a father with Hiccup. Something that if he thought about it, he lacked.
"Alright, but only if your sure it won't hurt us." Stoick sounded unsure, but he agreed. Hiccup looked up, once again surprised, before nodding. He ran to the Nightmare, and quickly pulled the spine out. The dragon roared in surprise. The Night Fury ran over, and suddenly had Hiccup under him. "Son!" Stoick shouted, but what he saw was something he couldn't believe. The Night Fury was nuzzling Hiccups Stomach and under his arms causing him to laugh.
"St-stop, I-I..I can't b-brea-" Hiccup couldn't help but laugh. He fought as hard as he could to get up, but the Night Fury just made his laughing sound, continuing to nuzzle Hiccup. Suddenly, the dragon started using his two front paws to bat at Hiccup. The boy under him started swinging as well, talking nonsence.
The Night Fury seemed to get bored, and dropped his head on Hiccup, causing the boy to lay flat wile growning. Stoick couldn't help but smile, it was funny, and it was his son having a ton of fun. The Night Fury started licking Hiccup, causing the boy to make disgusted sounds, and the boy got up, wiping saliva off of himself. "Useless reptile." He said, only causing the Night fury to use his tail to wack the boy, making him fall into a pile of dirt.
Stoick couldn't contain it. He let out a loud laugh as Hiccup fell. He covered his mouth, but it was to late. Hiccup sat up looking at him, the Night Fury having the same expression. "It's not funny!" Hiccup shouted stubbornly. "Your right, it's not." Stoick held up his hands as much as he could with the vines, but couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, the Monsterious Nightmare walked towards him. Stoick put on a serious expression and held up his fist. The dragon, on the other hand, pushed his head against Stoicks hand, telling him to lower it. "I must be crazy but..why do you want me to be still?" The Nightmare simply used his teeth to cut the vines as soon as Stoick was still.
The viking cheifs first instinct was to fight, but then he remembered he'd be dead if it wasn't for this dragon. Vikings were strong and feirce, but as cheif, Stoick didn't fight just to fight, at least he tried not to, it didn't make him look like who he tried to be. He refused to say thank you, but instead looked up to the still night sky. There weren't any raids tonight, so he didn't have to be on Berk at this particular time.
Suddenly, he heard Hiccup hiss in pain, and looked to see his son holding his arm. The Night Fury seemed sorry for something, and he licked Hiccups arm gently. The boy seemed to calm instantly, as if the Night Fury saliva felt helped. Suddenly a large guest of wind blew in, causing Hiccup to shiver at the cold, frosty air. Stoick was about to walk over to help his son, but the Nightmare flamed up, laying between Hiccup and Stoick, wile the Night Fury curled up around the boy, his tail acting as protection from anything around.
"What the." Hiccups expression grew soft. He hadn't had someone protect and hold him because simple cold since...he couldn't even remember. He was unsure of what to do, so he looked to his dad. Stoick was at a loss for words, seeing A dragon acting like this, it was so foreign to him.
"Dad, why are these dragons so different than the ones we've seen? Have you ever seen a dragon not attack someone? Has there ever been someone who didn't fight a dragon and it didn't fight them?" Hiccup asked. Stoick sighed. "Actually, I wanted to tell you about that before."
Hiccup looked confused, but the Night Fury seemed to sense Stoick was uncomortable. He used his tail to pull the cheif toward himself and Hiccup. "Gods I hope no ones out in the forest." Stoick mumbled. He looked to his son who had curiosity filled eyes.
"Hiccup, your not the only person i've known who tried to do something other than fighting dragons." Stoick inhailed deeply. "Wh-when you were a baby, your mother...she would say stuff like the dragons meant no harm, and we were only making it worse. No one listened, and the fights continued. She was the only person with that opinion. One night she protected you from a dragon, and the dragon set the house on fire. I had to save you, but it took her. I never got to figure out why she had a different opinion, and I swore revenge on every dragon I met. Maybe, with you, I can figure out what she meant though. We always said dragons could only be killed. I said the best thing someone could do was get stronger. I've been proven wrong though. You didn't kill a dragon, sure, but you...this." Stoick gesture to the Monsterious Nightmare and the Night Fury.
He stayed quiet for a moment, looking to Hiccup who seemed to find his own hands the most intresting things in the world. Stoick took another breathe and continued. "I'm just afraid the same thing will happen to you. It's why I don't ever want you getting into trouble Hiccup. Your my only family, my son, and...i've been trying to be a father." He finished, wile wrapping an arm around Hiccup. He could only imagine what his boy must be thinking.
"Dad, the more we kill, the more come. But...maybe there could be an alturnative to fighting them. Think about it. We didn't fight the Nightmare, so it told the Night Fury not to fight, and it listened. If that can keep going on, then being allies with a few dragons, could lead to more and more not fighting us. Maybe they could even help us find the nest. Just think about it. The more dragons that don't want to fight, the less people have go thorough the same thing you went thorough. Less people could fall to dragons, because they'd be protecting us. We didn't hurt the Monsterious Nightmare or Night Fury, so they protected us from the Deadly Nadder. Imagine if Berk had certain dragons on it's side. We'd have advantages and more protection. We could save more people, and fight in both land and air." Hiccup went on about his idea, and for once in his life, Stoick listened.
"Hiccup, I would love to protect more people, but we have no idea how many dragons will help. And no in the village saw what we saw. What if the other dragons attack?" Stoick sounded concerned. "Well, we do have a Night Fury on our side, so that helps in battle against dragons that don't listen if things went down hill." Hiccup look to his dad with a detirmined expression, and Stoick couldn't help but smile as the Night Fury had the exact same expression.
"I don't know Hiccup. Vikings and dragons have been enemy's for so long." As Stoick said this, the Monsterious Nightmare licked the side of his face as if encuraging him. Stoick had a disgusted face, and no matter how hard he tried, Hiccup couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Hey!" Stoick sounded defnesive. "I-I'm sorry but the look...I just can't get it out of my head." The Night Fury gave his own laugh as well.
"Aw come here!" Stoick sounded forcefull like he was punishing someone, and he picked his son up. "Hey!" Hiccup shouted, hanging upside down. "Put me down!" "But it's funny." Stoick said in an irritating tone. "No it's not! I'm sorry I laughed!" Hiccup tried to escape but he couldn't. Finally Stoick flipped is son right side up, and was holding Hiccup off the ground.
Hiccup looked to his father, and his smile turned to one of longing and confusion. Stoick looked surprised and confused as well. How long had it been since they were this close? "D-Dad I..." Hiccup had no words, and neither did Stoick. He never realized how good it felt being this close to, and just having fun with, his son. Hiccup had been a Toddler when he'd last had a moment like this with him.
No one was around, and it wasn't like Hiccup talked to anyone, so Stoick did something he never did. He kneeled down, embracing his son in one quick movement. "I'm sorry I havn't done this." He whispered, as Hiccup tried to wrap his arms around him, only able to hold onto his dads shoulders. "It's fine dad thank you." Hiccup lay his cheek against his dads coat before looking to the Night Fury. "Thanks Toothless." He whispered as quietly as he could, and Toothless simply wrapped his tail around the two, wile the Monsterious Nightmare sheilded them from the midnight cold.
