*facepalm* I've been writing Snoutlout instead of Snotlout. I shouldn't have trusted that site. Oh well.
Snotlout glared at the dragon as she watched her eggs intently. He glanced at the gash of his shoulder before standing up. She whirled around to snarl at him, and he plopped himself down with a sigh. He waited as she nudged her eggs and slowly got up. The sleek framed dragon flared her wings and ascended in a thrust. She flew up a but before so reached the narrower entrance.
The dragon switched it digging its claws into the sides of rock and jumping out with a flick of its tail. Snotlout stood up and turned to dash farther into the ravine. He found a rock side and eagerly starting hoping on his feet before running to the wall. He jumped and grabbed a ledge with an extended hand. He found footholds and started to climb upwards.
Snotlout sighed in relief as he went on, easily jumping and slipping up the wall. Scaling it seemed easier than he'd thought. A loud roar announced the arrival of the mother, and he glanced around for somewhere to hide. He saw a little overhang just under him and jumped off. He landed in a knelt and carefully walked along the jutting stone.
A small chamber was in front of him, which made the overhang resemble a porch. Snotlout hurriedly walked into it and pressed himself into a corner. There was a flash of red as she flew past. He waited in dead silence as her claws clicked against the stone. He heard a confused rumble and heard the sound of claws scraping on rocks and showering down.
He recognized it as her climbing and waited. A large hand came over the side and her head appeared. He managed a small yelp and immediately covered his mouth. She let a sort of rumbling purr before turning and jumping back down. He blinked in surprise and slowly began to walk to the entrance.
He knelt down abd peered over the edge to see her shredding at an oxen. Snotlout glanced farther up the wall before standing and walked to the side. He slowly slipped back into place and began his slow ascend.
Toothless was assured his rider was there by the constant shifting. He raised his head and turned to look at Hiccup. He was fast asleep, though he could sense he wasn't sleeping so soundly. The Night Fury carefully nudged his wing under Hiccup send slid him onto the grass.
The black dragon stood up and slowly turned to foe the stars. He whisked his tail before turning and walking deeper into the forest. His breath billowed out of his nostrils like smoke as he walked through the cold forest. As he walked, the mist grew denser and he felt small droplets condensating onto his body and sliding down like sweat. He paused to shake himself before continuing.
He poked his head into a clearing and caught sight of a roaming deer. He trotted past it and instead focused himself on the lake. He crouched down and stared at it intently, waiting silently. As h thought he saw movement, he dove forward and snapped his jaws at a fish. Toothless pulled it out and tossed it aside.
He continued his routine until he had six fish in a pile. He sat back and threw a fish up, opening his jaws to let it fall in. He briefly chewed it before swallowing. He picked at a few more, though he stopped when he saw there were two. Toothless nudged one with a talon before thinking. He crouched down and quickly regurgitated one. He turned and sat back down, only to shoot forward and snatch one last fish. He ate the nicely sized trout before grabbing the remaining three by their tails and walking off.
When he returned, Hiccup was slowly sitting up and yawning. The Night Fury rumbled a greeting before dropping his catches. The chief blinked and looked up at Toothless.
"Well look at you." He murmured playfully before slowly drawing one towards himself. Toothless grabbed the remaining two and walked over to Hookfang, teasingly whacking the back of Hiccup's helmet as he passed.
The Night Fury sat down and tossed the two fish. Hookfang lifted his head groggily and glanced down. The Monstrous Nightmare dipped his head before sniffing one and devouring it. Toothless twitched his ear flaps and turned to walk to his friends side.
Hiccup's eyes were narrowed as he studied the sky. It was ever so slightly brightening, and the clouds were slowly shifting colors as the sun's rays replenished them. The Night Fury watched as stars were blotted out-unable to match the brightness of the sun. He glanced down ad saw Hiccup sigh once more.
"Oh yeah. Rod is gone." Toothless rumbled a bit before grabbing the fish and dragging it away.
"Oh come on," Hiccup got up and watched him, "I'm still going to eat it."
He blinked as Toothless dropped it and spewed a small spurt of fire at it. He delicately flipped it before doing the same. He licked his jaws and retracted his teeth a few times before leaving them tucked in. Toothless dragged the fish over and dropped it in front of Hiccup.
"You know, sometimes I forget you're a dragon," He murmured as he bent down and picked up the cooked fish. Toothless rumbled in amusement and turned to watch Hookfang as the Monstrous Nightmare paced. He seemed to have regained his composer and was ready for a plan to save Snotlout.
Toothless rumbled to him and nudged Hookfang's side as he walked over. The Monstrous Nightmare stopped and turned to look at him. The Night Fury jumped up and pushed all of his legs against the tree trunk and flared his wings to soar down to the ground.
Once he landed, he raised his rump and lashed his tail playfully. Hookfang's twitched his wings and rolled his eyes away from the sight. Toothless jumped up and flapped his wings a bit before landing and giving Hookfang a hopeful look. The Monstrous Nightmare give him a sideways look. He turned and watched as Toothless pranced around a bewildered and perplexed Hiccup.
"What's up with you?" His rider asked in confusion. Hookfang suddenly sprang over and playfully rolled in the clearing with Toothless. They broke up and teasingly pawed at each other. Hiccup brightened when he saw the two chasing each other and acting as if nothing was wrong.
Hiccup slightly shook his head with a smile. "Toothless, you truly are a surprising dragon."
