Even though people aren't really reviewing, I'm going to continue to write the story.

As for the length/date of updating for the chapters, I will try to make them longer and upload them every few days or so, or one a week at the latest.

As always, I do not own HTTYD. I own only my OC's.


Crouching down low in a slow bow, I mumbled, "S-sorry, Alpha"


Auster's POV

I couldn't believe I was so stupid to not notice the dragons scent; he was the Alpha, how could I not?! And more of, he seemed to be extremely protective of the human. So I stayed in the bow until he told me to get up.

"You will not hurt Hiccup in any way or form, got it?" He snarled at me. "Yes," I said reluctantly. After hearing my answer, he stepped back and left me facing Hiccup, a astonished look on his face at his dragon. He obviously didn't know what the Alpha could do.

After getting over his surprise, he took on a more serious, but gentle, expression and extended his hand once more at me. I knew he was trying to gain my trust, but I don't just give my trust to anybody. I grumbled and turned around, flopping down on the ground and bringing my tail around gently to try and cover my face. Seeing this, he started to speak.

"Oh no! Toothless, what did you say? Now you made the dragon mad." He said to Alpha. He just grumbled, saying "You don't know what I did." Hiccup continued speaking to Alpha, and I took on the opportunity to stand up and walk over to the trees I had sheltered in earlier, laying down in some thick bushes with only my tail slightly poking out. Then I fell asleep, certain that they would not find me.

Hiccup's POV

After arguing with Toothless about him making the dragon mad, I finally gave up and turned back to where it was laying, only to find that it vanished! I looked around the cove, but saw nothing. Turning to Toothless, I saw that he was just as clueless as I was. I sighed. That dragon didn't look like anything in the book, so it must be a new species, but if I couldn't gain its trust I couldn't take it back to study it. I shrugged. Maybe I was wrong, and it was in the book.

"C'mon, Bud" I said as I climbed on Toothless's back. "Let's go ask Fishlegs."

"I don't know, Hiccup" Fishlegs said as he paced the room with the Book of Dragons in his hand. "I've never heard of any kind of dragon like that, and it isn't in the Book."

"Well than," I told him. "we just need to train it. It shouldn't be too hard."

"Oh, yes" Fishlegs said sarcastically. "It 'shouldn't be too hard' to train a dragon that can disappear without a sound, challenges the Alpha -a night fury Alpha, at that- without a second thought, flat-out refuses our best dragon trainer, and is completely unpredictable because we don't know its behavior, personality, or stats!" he cried, yelling out the last bit. "Do you want me to continue?" Fishlegs asked worriedly.

"Please don't" I said. "You're only making it seem worse than it is. As long as the dragon stays in the cove, we should be fine. I saw some injuries on its wings, so-" I was interrupted by a roar and cries of "Dragon attack!"

"Oh, that doesn't sound good" I said as I ran out the door and jumped on Toothless.

Auster's POV

Okay, originally I wasn't planning on attacking the village with a drunk viking on my back. Somehow that happened. But before that...

Flashback-1 hour ago

After Hiccup and Alpha left, I became bored. So bored, in fact, that I started talking to Griffin inside my head. (This is Auster's voice and this is Griffin's voice)

So how much do you know about Berk?

About as much as you do.

Did you know there was a new Alpha?

I could sense two changes in leadership. One was evil, I could feel it sinisterness. But soon after it changed again, into a gentle one, like it was before it was evil.

Did you know it was a night fury?

No.

Do you know much about night furies?

*silence*

Griffin, what are you not telling me?

My species has a...ancient memory of night furies. Our species were close, so we knew much about each other.

Okay, can you start with how many night furies exist?

By what I know, there is a-

We were interrupted by a large flap of wings and the arrival of a monstrous nightmare. A burly man jumped off the dragon, not seeming noticing me even though I was sitting in the middle of a clearing. But as I heard him speak to his dragon, I noticed that he had a slur to his words. That meant he was drunk.

Drunk is not a good thing on a viking.

How do you know?

Have you seen Kaider after 15 quarts of mead?

Good point.

Watching the viking carefully, I took in him and his dragon.

His dragon was large, red with black stripes, and had a fiery temper. But he seemed to know when his rider couldn't take care of himself, and do it for him. Obviously, this was one of those times.

At this moment, the rider noticed me and started towards me, mumbling something. I could only make out some words, such as "Tuffnut", "Ultimate dragon trainer", and "Wild dragon". The nightmare tried to grab him, but just received a punch in the jaw, which hit the pressure point and knocked him out. Then the human started coming towards me again.

I snarled and raised my wings in warning, the whole 80 foot wingspan high in the air. The human just snorted and reached for something in his pocket. It was a knife. I growled, low and warningly, as he took it out. But instead of trying to throw it or stab me, he simply tilted it in the sun, and a dot of light appeared on the ground. I pounced on it, dropping my wings and becoming quiet. When I landed on it, it disappeared! I looked around and I saw it, sitting near the humans feet. Quietly, slowly, I crept up and jumped on top of it, and it vanished again!

Before I had a chance to find it once more, I felt a heavy weight on my back. Twisting to look behind me, I saw the viking on my back, holding on to my neck! I snarled, and flipped onto my back, but he held firm. I jumped into the water, keeping him submerged, but he wouldn't let go. Finally, I raised my wings and took off. He seemed to yell something at that time, but it was too muffled by the wind.

I was heading for the ocean, where I could simply do barrel rolls until he fell off into the water, but he jerked my head painfully towards the village. Not wanting to feel the sharp sting of my neck being pulled painfully, I obliged and glided toward the center. As I started to land, I could feel the viking pulling my jaws open. Obviously he wanted me to breathe fire, but I didn't think it was a good idea, so I resisted. I then received a punch to the face and more pulling, so I gave in. I was malnurished, injured, and tired, and I didn't want to fight this heavy strong figure that was seated astride me.

Opening my jaws, I unleashed a torrent of white flame towards a large building connected to a mountain. The front wood door caught and started burning. Being turned in the opposite direction, I flamed some wood buildings.

As I was being turned again, I could hear a woosh woosh woosh sound growing louder, feeling the rider jumping off, and then the next thing I knew, my wings were pinned to my sides and I was falling towards the ground.

30 yards, 20, 10, 5... and then black.

Hiccup's POV

After jumping on Toothless and getting filled in by Astrid on what was going on, I ordered vikings and dragons: "Try and put out the Great Hall and the houses, then move all valuable objects, weapons, and food to a safe place!" I was expecting slight hesitation before they started the jobs I put them to, but they immediately ran to do the tasks. Then I remembered, I was Chief, and they'll do what I say without a second thought. "I'm still getting used to it," I said to Toothless as we flew to help Astrid.

"Snotlout got drunk and is atop the dragon," she said. "You get him off and I'll take down the dragon with a bola." I nodded and flew just below the dragon, yelling to Snotlout to jump on. He obeyed, and leapt onto the saddle, swaying slightly. Oh great, I thought. He's too drunk to even balance on a saddle, much less make even slightly good choices. So that's how the dragon got here and went crazy. Then I could see the dragon get hit by the bola and go down, hitting the ground with a thump.

Landing next to it, I checked to see that it was unconscious. Turning around to survey the village, I could examine the remains of the attack. The Great Hall was slightly scorched, but not too damaged. The houses were empty at the time, and despite having a few crowded houses for the next few weeks, nothing too important was broken or destroyed.

Turning to Astrid, who was waiting expectedly for orders, I said, "Take the dragon to the arena and put it in one of the stalls. Make sure it's wings are tied." "Should I muzzle it?" Astrid asked me. I hesitated. I didn't like muzzling dragons, but if I didn't it might breathe flames. "Muzzle it." I said to her. She nodded and called to other villagers to help her carry it to the arena.

I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned to see Fishlegs. "Was that the dragon you saw?" he asked me. I nodded, too full of adrenaline to speak. "You know, that dragon looked an awful lot like a mutant night fury," Fishlegs continued. I looked at him in surprise. "Do you really think..." I trailed off. Fishlegs took in a deep breath. "Yes I really do. And if that dragon is a cousin of the night fury, than that could mean-"

"It means that there could be more night furies out there" I finished.


Two notes:

1) A bola is the rope with two metal spheres attached to it at the ends. It is what Hiccup used in the first movie to take down Toothless.

2) Snotlout and Tuffnut were having an argument about who was the ultimate dragon trainer, besides Hiccup. They were both extremely drunk at the time, and Snotlout stormed out into the forest to find and train a wild dragon, which is how he came across Auster.

ALSO, I STILL NEED IDEAS AS TO WHAT TO CALL THE SPECIES.
