Chapter 4

"Come on Toothless! Let's go again!" Toothless shook his head in mock annoyance as Hiccup once again persuaded him to perform another flip.

The two were riding together alongside Astrid. They were racing and Hiccup, being the young mischievious chief of the village, he wanted to make his suppoed win stylish.

Toothless tilted his hea to the sky and Hiccup adjusted his tail. Toothless shot up into the sky and flew higher and higher. Then Toothless stopped. He fell over backwards and Hiccup put the tail on 'auto pilot.' He dropped from the saddle and the two fell from the sky. They looked at each other and Toothless stuck his tounge out, letting it flap in the wind just like a dog. Hiccup laughed.

Firestone, watching from the sky, looked on with envy. Her wing was still injured and it would be a while before it would heal. She huffed in annoyance. Flying meant everything to her. It was freedom, it was fun, it was her whole life. The sky was where a Nightfurry belonged, not on the ground! And it was because of Bloodvist that she was stuck this way.

"Hey, Firestone." Firestone looked at her claws as if they were very interesting. She knew it was Joleen.

"You know I find it odd, that you can speak like a human but you act like a baby dragon." Joleen chuckled

She sighed. She wasn't really paying attention. Firestone just wanted to fly.

But Joleen seemed to sense her distress, "Hey. What's wrong Firestone?" She asked in a soothing voice.

Firestone shook her scaley head angrily, "I just want to fly!" She complained, "I feel so vaunrable down here and trapped. Flyng is everything to me!" She sat down with a thump and her ears drooped.

"You are young and impatient Firestone. Let your wing and spirit heal, then you may be free." Though she spoke wiser beyond her years, there was a distinctive hint of sadness in her voice. And regret.

"You may be free, as a dragon. But as a human, who cannot fly and the daughter of Drago Bloodvist, I can't ever be free. He is my father and no matter what, I cannot hurt him. He raised me and he is family. He would never let me be free. As soon as Hiccup defeats him, he will go to plan once again and drag me with him. I never be free from his grasp." Firestone looked up in surprise. She had no idea what her new friend had to deal with. No she knew and she felt sorry for the young viking.

"I'll make sure you're free Joleen." She said, her green eyes blazing, "I'll make sure of it. I promise." Firestone draped her wing over her friend and ket her cry. She brauggt her closer and concealed her in inky blackness. Firestone looked up to the sky and shot a blue firey plasma ball into the sky, a sign of her promise to her new master. She was hers now and nothing would ever change that.


Hiccup, cheered as he crossed the finish line, "Great job Toothless!" He petted his dragon nicely and Toothless rolled over, his taik wagging a bit playfully.

"Good run Hiccup. Didn't think you'd have time now that you're the chief of the village." Astrid appeared, her beautiful blonde hair flowing in the wind. Her dragon Stormfly landed neatly and Astrid walked off. She turned to the blue dragon, "Thanks Stormfly! Go get some food!"

Stormfly squawked and flew off.

"You want me to tell you how it's done?" Hiccup teased.

"As if!" She punched Hiccup playfully and Toothless nudged Hiccup roughly, forcing Hiccup to fill the gap between him and Astrid.

Astrid laughed, "What's wrong with Toothless?" She smiled.

"I-I don't know. He just- Hmm!" Hiccup broke off as Toothless pushed him again, making him crash his lips into Astrid's. They closed their eyes and leaned in closer. Behind them, Toothless seemed to snicker, as he stared innocently at the cute couple.
