Cloudjumper regurgitated a small pile of fish for Toothless and Hiccup. Toothless had no problem with the slimy saliva as he slurped up his breakfeast. Hiccup stared at the fish confused and back at Cloudjumper."What? It's squishy see. Melts in your mouth. The no teeth thing can't be a problem." Cloudjumper urged Hiccup to eat the salmon.
Another Stormcutter noticed Cloudjumper nudging the fish towards Hiccup. This one was a female. She was much larger than Cloudjumper. Her scales were blue with a green underbelly and lower lip. Her dark forest green eyes narrowed at the sight." I don't think human babies eat fish." She pointed out and sat next to Cloudjumper. The male Stormcutter rolled his eyes and looked up at her. He stumbled back. He gulped at her enormous size." My name is Firewing. " She extended a claw for Cloudjumper to take. He shook it.
"So what do you suppose baby humans eat then." He looked at Hiccup. Hiccup continued to watch Toothless chow down. The hatchling licked his chops and spotted Firewing. His eyes slit as he growled and curled around Hiccup."I think they drink milk. Which is a reason that they normally stay with their mothers for a while." Cloudjumper sighed."But... I've heard of using donkey milk as a replacement. I could show you where to find one." Cloudjumper cocked his head. Donkey? Hiccup poked the pile of drool were the fish had been and grimaced shaking the goo off of his tiny hand.
"If you think it will work."
Firewing led Cloudjumper to a small Viking farm some ways from the Bewilderbeast's cave. Toothless sat on the base of Cloudjumper's neck with his mouth open. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the wind in his face. Hiccup on the other hand was crying and holding onto Cloudjumper's frills with all his strength. Which wasn't much. Toothless closed his mouth and inched curiously over to Hiccup. He licked the humans cheek. Hiccup's eyes widened. He glanced over at Toothless and giggled. He hugged Toothless. The black dragon helped sit Hiccup up so they could both enjoy the fresh air. Toothless wrapped his wing around Hiccup to keep him from falling back.
"There it is!" Firewing landed outside of a field. The fence closed off acres of goats, yaks,horses, and sheep. But no donkeys. They switched their goal to snatching a goat which was a much smaller and easier to control animal than the yak. Toothless jumped off of Cloudjumper, tripping slightly, and perched on the fence. He bounced excitedly and bowed ready to chase the farm animals till they drop. He spotted a huge reindeer. The little dragon smirked and leapt over the fence. Firewing caught him and pulled him back."Don't even think about it." She scolded. Toothless pouted and pawed at a red beetle on the ground.
"See there's a healthy goat right there. We can take her back to the cave. But we have to take her kid too." She glared at Cloudjumper. She still was mad at him for getting Hiccup into the situation in the first place. Firewing carefully stepped over the fence. None of the animals payed attention to her. Most had probably never seen a dragon before and she was acting as harmless as possible."Hey you!" The farmer shouted from his house. He charged down the stairs with his steel sword in hand. She gasped and nipped at the goat attempting to pick it up but the goat escaped. She chased after the fleeing animal as she fled from the farmer.
Cloudjumper held back a laugh. Toothless laughed at the reindeer who had foolishly crossed paths with the tiny yet deadly dragon. Toothless squeezed under the fence and sprinted after the reindeer. He fluttered his weak wings and jumped as high as he could. Shooting harmless little plasma blasts at the deer. Hiccup peeked around Cloudjumper's frills and watched the chaos with confusion. Cloudjumper lifted his wings searching for Toothless. He growled in annoyance as he saw Toothless holding onto the reindeers tail with his teeth, that were apparently retractable. He rolled his eyes and flew into the sky. Circling the field.
Firewing bounded up over the goat and grabbed her in one paw. She picked up the goats baby with her other paw. She stopped running and sniffed the goats to make sure they weren't harmed. She heard a clanking noise as she felt the farmers blade clink against her much stronger scales. She turned around and opened her huge wings threateningly. She held back her head and let out a bloodcurdling roar. It caused the remaining farm animals to scurry into the barn. The Viking dropped his sword from his trembling hand and fainted on the ground. Firewing let out a satisfied chuckled and called to Cloudjumper to tell him she caught the goats.
She was a little taken back to see Cloudjumper carrying the reindeer in his claws with Toothless still biting it's short fluffy tail. Firewing followed the male dragon into the fluffy white clouds." You don't look too happy." Cloudjumper glared at his new friend to see her snickering." You know I'm really not."
Hiccup and the baby goat drank milk from the mother goat. Who didn't seem as disturbed by the many huge fire breathing winged dragons as you would think. Hiccup sat on Toothlesses head as the black dragon lifted his brother up to the goats udder." Are you sure that's sanitary?" Cloudjumper stuck his tounge out in disgust. "What the heck did you think that thing was for?" Cloudjumper didn't know much about mammals and the idea of milk was quite a strange idea to him. "I don't know. Attracting mates?" Firewing rolled her eyes. "Men." "What was that?" Firewing glanced up to see her mate approaching them. He looked a lot like her but Cloudjumper's size.
"Where have you been? You left me to take care of the kids myself." He rolled two eggs to their mother. "I'm sorry darling I was helping Cloudjumper here with his own hatchlings. Cloudjumper, this is my mate. Scorchclaw. Scorchclaw, Cloudjumper."
Scorchclaw nodded."Nice to meet you. Maybe we'll see you around." Cloudjumper smiled weakly. He refused to admit that he had taken a liking to Firewing. But it was just as well. He promised to raise Toothless and Hiccup on his own. "Bye!" Firewing yelled back at him. Cloudjumper swept Hiccup onto his wing. The baby giggled and sneezed. Toothless was busy gulping down goats milk. Which probably wasn't that good for him in such huge amounts. Cloudjumper picked up Toothless by the tail and put him down next to Hiccup. Toothless stuck his tounge out at the Stormcutter for interrupting his lunch. He turned around three times and pat down nonexistent dirt with his little paws and curled around Hiccup and drifted to sleep. Soon Hiccup had also fallen into a deep slumber. Cloudjumper just sat there afraid to move his wing and wake them.
I really love baby Toothless okay. Like you don't even understand my love for him. I just want baby night furies and DreamWorks keeps teasing me. Anyway, Firewing isn't a real love interest. She's just a friend of his. And I have another head canon that female Stormcutter's are bigger than the males. No real back up for the idea but I'd just like to see it. I have a few reviews to respond to. I was planning on Cloudjumper kidnapping a farm animal. But not a yak. They're too big and rambunctious. A goat is a lot smaller and I've seen goats. They can also be a lot nicer. Not all of them but some. Sorry. To another review, yes I do read the books. They are awesome! I also made a quick reference to them in this chapter. If anyone sees it you can tell me in the reviews. I always love finding someone else who reads the books. And lastly, I know it will be pretty hard to make Cloudjumper raising Hiccup sound realistic. But I do have a lot of ideas for the issue. I think they work and I look forward to more input on the matter. Thank you all for reading and please review.
