Chapter 2

The cold air smacked their faces as they flew high into the skies above. Hiccup and Toothless led the way as Zacor and Kairi followed close behind. It was then that Zacor noticed Hiccup's foot; he flew closer to get a better look. Toothless sensed this and slowed down his pace so Zacor and Kairi could fly close. Hiccup looked over to see Zacor examining his foot. Meanwhile, Toothless kept glancing over at Kairi, smiling each time she looked over, she returned the favor by fluttering her delicate dragon eyes.

"Hey Hiccup," Zacor said, raising his voice over the sound of wind. "If you don't mind me asking what happened to your foot?"

At this Toothless looked up at Hiccup giving him a sympathetic look. Had it not been for Toothless' last effort to catch the falling boy, he would not be here now. Hiccup patted Toothless affectionately and looked over at Zacor.

"I lost my foot around a year ago." Hiccup said. "Before now, my tribe was at constant war with the dragons. It was my father's wish to find their nest and kill them off. In doing so Berk would no longer be invaded by dragons. My Father used Toothless to locate the nest, since only a dragon knows of its exact location. However, in the nest was a dragon like no other, it was bigger and more powerful than any dragon we ever encountered. Toothless and I took the dragon down."

Zacor listened intently to Hiccup's words. If there is one thing Zacor knows, is that no matter how big or powerful a dragon may be, there are very few out there that can stand up to the raw speed and power of a night fury. He listened as Hiccup continued…

"The dragon we fought was very tough and took several hits, in the end it came crashing down into the Earth, but Toothless and I were not fast enough to dodge its tail. The tail hit us head on and sent me flying off of Toothless, he managed to grab me and shield me from the surrounding fire. However the impact destroyed my foot and so it had to be removed."

"You're very brave Hiccup." Zacor said. "Both of you are very brave." Hiccup smiled at Zacor.

"After our battle my Father saw that not all dragons live to kill and hunt, it took a little time but the rest of the village warmed up to the idea. Now a year later our village lives alongside the dragons peacefully. All thanks to us right buddy!" Hiccup reached down and patted Toothless, the dragon nodded in approval.

Both Toothless and Kairi flew lower; the Village of Berk was now in sight. They flew to the end of the Village on top of the hill where Hiccup's house was located. The dragons landed softly on the ground, Zacor got off first and walked over to Hiccup to help him off. Hiccup couldn't help but blush as he felt Zacor's arms support his own. He looked up at Zacor smiling and clumsily walking towards the front door.

Hiccup and Zacor walked into the house followed closely by Toothless and Kairi, it was then that Hiccup noticed his Father was awake. Stoick was sitting at the table eating a very large sandwich. Toothless immediately walked over to the table giving Stoick his big green dragon eyes, begging for food. Stoick noticed the presence of the new boy and new night fury. Hiccup spoke first.

"Dad…" Hiccup said. "I didn't think you would be awake, I was about to wake you to talk. This is Zacor and this is his dragon…Kairi, wait where's Kairi!?"

Hiccup turned around, but there was no dragon. Kairi was now sitting beside Toothless also begging for the sandwich Stoick was eating. She also gave him those very begging green eyes. At this all three Vikings started laughing. Stoick got up and ripped the sandwich in half, giving each half to Toothless and Kairi. The dragons swallowed their food whole and went down to cuddle close by the fire.

Stoick gestured to the two available seats at the table for the boys to take. Hiccup and Zacor walked over and sat down. Stoick took a large gulp from his mug and cleared his throat before speaking.

"I woke up because I was hungry son." Stoick said. "Who is this young man?" He looked over and gave Zacor a warm smile extending his hand to greet the young Viking. Zacor immediately stood up and shook hands with the Village leader.

"Hello sir." Zacor said, feeling a little shy. "My name is Zacor and I've traveled here from the North with my Dragon, Kairi. I was going to see you in the morning; I was looking for a place to stay. However sir, Hiccup happened to find me camping in the woods."

"I see," Stoick responded.

"Yeah Dad," Hiccup said, cutting into the conversation. "I kinda maybe said that he could probably speak to you about staying here in the Village, and possibly, you know, stay with us…here." Zacor looked up at Hiccup's Father giving him a calm respectful look.

"Sir," Zacor said, taking a seat at the table. "I don't mean to intrude, the reason I'm here is that I no longer have a place to live. He looked over at Hiccup sighing loudly before continuing, my entire village was killed by a group of Timberjacks."

Stoick looked upon the young Viking, he believed him, and he could see it in the young Viking's eyes. They had the look of a man who has suffered a great deal in such a short time. Hiccup looked over at Zacor feeling quite sad. Zacor never mentioned this at the camp. Zacor took a deep breath before continuing.

"It happened several months ago, it was snowing very hard and it was dark. My village was small, not like Berk." He looked up at Stoick who kept a calm face as he listened. "My Village was surrounded by trees and the Timberjacks set fire to the trees before slicing into them with their wings. The Burning trees fell on our houses destroying the roof and setting fire. I barely managed to escape deep into the woods. My Village, my family and friends, all of them died. We weren't prepared for an attack. Each sentence he spoke Zacor lost his voice it wasn't long before his eyes swelled with tears.

Zacor cried hard, he tried to stay calm but emotionally it was too much. Stoick placed a firm hand on the boy's shoulder. He believed him and couldn't imagine the pain he has suffered. Stoick looked over to see tears in Hiccup's eyes, it truly was very sad to think he was alone. Toothless and Kairi got up from the fire and went over to their boys. They rested their heads on their laps. Hiccup and Zacor both looked down at their dragons smiling for the comfort. It was then that Stoick took a better look at Kairi.

"Zacor," Stoick said looking over at the new Night Fury. "How did you find this dragon? Hiccup's dragon is the only Night Fury our Village has ever encountered. And this is a female Dragon, is she not?"

Zacor took a deep breath and dried his eyes.

"I didn't find her." Zacor said. He looked into Kairi's eyes and smiled. "Kairi found me." Both Hiccup and his Father looked at one another before bringing their attention back to Zacor. "The same night my Village was attacked I fled deep into the woods. I was afraid and alone, I was hungry and I didn't know if I was being followed. It didn't help much that it was a blizzard outside. I managed to find a cave and entered it to escape the storm. I made a fire to keep warm. It was then that in the entrance of the cave I saw two green eyes staring at me. But for some reason I wasn't afraid, or worried. She must have sensed me. Soon after she turned around and left the cave. I waited and around an hour later she returned with food. She came into the cave and laid the food by the fire. I realized then that she brought me food to eat, as thou she was caring for me. I took the food and cooked it over the fire. When I was tired she let me sleep next to her to keep warm. When I woke up she was still there. Kairi has stayed with me ever since.

Stoick stood up, giving Zacor and his son a caring smile.

"I have seen and heard many things," Stoick said, looking at Toothless and Kairi. "But never have I encountered a dragon quite like them. They are as affectionate and protective as they are deadly. You boys are lucky to have them. He looked over at Zacor. He placed a firm hand on his shoulder giving him a look of sympathy. "Zacor I am sorry for what you have gone through. I know the pain you speak of, the fear of being attacked as well as losing loved ones. It's almost too much for one Viking to endure. The fact that you are able to smile and be human says a great deal about who you are."

Hicccup and Zacor looked up at Stoick feeling a sense of relief. They listened as Stoick spoke.

"You don't have to worry anymore. You have earned my trust, and you and Kairi may live here in my Village."

Both boys stood up from their chairs feeling overjoyed. Zacor was about to thank Stoick but before he could, they watched as the Village leader was tackled by Kairi. She licked Stoick affectionately. Both teens roared with laughter watching the night fury slobber all over his face. Zacor went over to pull Kairi off. Hiccup's Father picked himself off the ground smiling as he patted Kairi. The three Vikings took to their seats once more. Kairi went back over by the fire to lay down with Toothless.

"Hiccup," Stoick said, looking over at his son. Hiccup looked up giving his a Father a curious look. "If Zacor will be staying with us then I trust you know he will be staying in your room as there's no other room in our house." Hiccup looked over at Zacor and smiled, both boys nodded in approval. "Alright then it's settled, now Zacor since you will be staying in Berk I have to ask is there any skills you are proficient in?"

Zacor looked up smirking.

"I can mold steel as well as caving wood." Zacor said. Hiccup couldn't help but smile, now knowing this he was hoping Zacor would work with him and Gobber at the shop.

"Excellent!" Stoick said, "Another apprentice for Gobber, outstanding! Well I must say this has been quite an evening, you boys should get to bed. Tomorrow night we shall throw a feast in celebration of Berk's newest Viking and our newest Dragon. You need not worry Zacor, you are in good hands. Hiccup's bedroom is up the stairs, that's where you will be sleeping."

Hiccup looked over at Zacor; he saw happiness in the Viking's eyes. He must have felt overwhelmed by such a warm welcome. Hiccup also couldn't help but wonder why his father is so accepting of Zacor. After only one conversation he gave him permission to live in the Village, to live in his home?

Zacor excused himself and went upstairs followed closely by Kairi, who was followed closer by Toothless. Only Hiccup and his Father were left at the table, Hiccup looked over at his Father, giving him a very curious look.

"Hey Dad," Hiccup said, "Why do I get the feeling you're not telling me something." Stoick smiled and looked into his son's eyes.

"Hiccup everything I do is for a reason." Stoick said. "The reasons may not seem clear to you at first, but know this, what I do and what I decide is always for the good of you and our people. One day you will understand." Hiccup gave his dad a slightly annoyed look.

"Thank you for clearing that up for me." Hiccup said sarcastically.

"My point Hiccup is not to worry about this now." Stoick said, placing both hands on his son's shoulders. Hiccup's knees buckled under the weight of his Father. "What I want you to do is make Zacor feel very welcomed. Introduce him to the village and show him around. You may not be able to see it now, but everything happens for a reason, goodnight son."

Stoick returned to his room to leave his son to his thoughts. Hiccup wasn't exactly sure what his Father meant. However, if there's anything Hiccup has learned, it's best to just follow his heart and let things play out. With that Hiccup took to the stairs to join Zacor and their dragons.
