Mia, Mini and Mist had been back in time for a year of complete bliss. Over that time Mini had begun showing she had more than just her metamorph magical abilities, happy because it meant she could play with her big sister and best friend more, floating Mist's fish for her to catch. Crawling was a great time for her mother and sister, both were always on the patrol to make sure she didn't get into trouble, though it was Mist who spent the most time with her.
When the little girl had called Mia 'mama', the woman had sobbed for the entire day, hating and loving that it had happened. Since then she was babbling out various words, speaking Norse instead of English, when Mia had apparated to the island, she had placed a translation charm over herself, she only spoke in old Norn and it would fade as she became fluent in the language.
By her first birthday, Mini was walking about hesitantly, holding onto a lead that Mist wore at all times. Mia had modified the carrier that she used to hold her daughter, her sling was not suitable anymore, and wanted the little girl to be able to appreciate flying. She loved it and her third word, Mist was her second, was fly, and she said all three of her favourite words all the time.
Beside their little family, there was a male who would come around almost every day and that was the still unnamed Night Fury. He showed up the day after his first visit with 3 flowers in his teeth, one for each female, and that had earned him a place in Mia's family. Over the year, his and Mist's relationship had grown stronger, they were very much in love now.
Then, one day, Mist was acting incredibly odd, as though she knew something was going on. Being afraid she was going to try and leave, Mia didn't want to her to hurt herself, the witch placed a restraint charm onto her, "I'm sorry baby girl but I can't risk you going and dying on me."
She rubbed heads with the witch but still would sit in the cove, looking into the air, waiting for her love to come home to her. But it wasn't the Night Fury who came, it was a Monstrous Nightmare, one that was obviously not trained. Mist was inside having a sleep after Mia had ordered her to, the witch was fishing again, grateful that the fish in the pond seemed to breed incredibly fast, and Mini was walking about the warded off area her mother had made for her.
The wards went off and Mia spun, hoping that it was the male Fury but her heart almost leapt out of her chest when she saw the juvenile reaching over the ward and looking at Mini as though she were lunch. Instantly, the witch began sending curses to the dragon, running towards it to try and drive it back from her daughter. It didn't work well, the Nightmare only went back a few feet but it was enough for the witch.
She dove forward, covering her child, at the same time the dragon got sick of her interfering so had lunged for Mini. She felt the long teeth sink into her right leg and let loose a scream to the only one who could help, "MIST!"
Keeping her body fully covering her daughter, Mia could feel her own blood dripping onto her from the dragon's mouth that was eating her leg. From the cave, she saw her best friend screaming out, plasma balls already forming and firing as soon as it was safe. The Nightmare had no chance of surviving, it all but exploded into a million pieces, but Mist wasn't worried about that. She had instantly licked the bleeding stump, knowing her saliva healed, that was how she had saved herself from bleeding to death.
Mia felt her injury close and weakly grinned to her friend, "Help us up Mist, we're going to need to find someone to fix me."
Mist offered her the same lead that her sister used, standing on her back legs and walking them all awkwardly back towards the cave. Inside, she watched as Mia packed everything away, and eagerly took her tack from the rock shelf, knowing they were leaving for good and she could now be with her love always.
"Alright, alright, I know, you miss him," Mia downed a Blood Replenish potion from her stores, feeling the light headedness vanish. Saddling up the dragon, the witch made sure that her daughter was safe and in place, before hopping up, "Go slow baby, I'm hurting and might not be able to hold on."
The Night Fury nodded and carefully walked out of the cave, flapping a few times so her family was secure, and moving off. She knew exactly where to go, her love had told her all about the creations his rider and best friend had made and knew that he was the one that her own rider and best friend needed.
As she approached the village that she had seen upon arriving, Mist began calling out to her love, and she could hear him responding from the forest below. Looking down, she saw him turn and run back through the forest underneath her. A brilliant smile graced her face and it grew when she heard Mia, "Lover boy seems to have missed you my girl."
Mist purred in happiness and began to descend before the forest ended, meeting the male. Toothless greet his love but then smelt the blood and saw the state the woman was in, adding his own saliva to the wound, Mia able to feel there was more power behind it than there had been before. Lifting her head, she weakly smiled and scratched the male, "Hey boy, we've missed you at the cove. Don't go leaving our Mist alone for that long again, okay?"
Toothless nodded and then motioned with his head for her to follow him. Mia was barely able to keep her head up but she forced herself to sit tall, Mini safely held in her coat but her head out and watching everything. As they breached the forest end, her eyes were instantly locked with the green eyes of a man about her age, who looked beyond shocked at what he was seeing.
"Toothless, what's going on?" Hiccup asked, his hand at the ready by his sword, only to have his friend beat it away and grab his clothes, pulling him towards the new Night Fury and humans.
"I am Mia, and I think your Night Fury is trying to get you to help me," Mia said weakly, not feeling very well, "A Monstrous Nightmare juvenile tried to think it could have my daughter for lunch, didn't expect Mist to be sleeping in the cave."
Hiccup moved quickly forward, grabbing the witch as she got off of Mist, stunned again at how tall she was, he was 6 foot 1, she had to be 6 feet tall. Easily lifting both her and the young girl looking out from her coat, he looked to his mother, "Can you take care of both Mist and Toothless?"
Valka nodded, walking forward and easily handling the two Furies, "Take care of her my son."
He quickly walked into his hut, he had only just become the Chief after his father's death, Toothless had only been alpha for a day, and now he had a strange woman who needed his help. Placing her onto his bed, he removed her coat and went to take the young child when her hair suddenly changed colour to match his, "What the hell?"
"I apologise. My daughter and I are touched by the gods with magic, she is young and cannot control it as well as I can," with a shaking hand, she put Mini onto the floor, "If you get your mother, Mist is the best babysitter around and loves her little sister."
"Of course," Hiccup took the child into his arms and went to the door, waving for his best human friend Astrid, "Astrid, can you please take this little one to my mother. Tell everyone to not be worried if she changes appearance or does unexplainable things, we are being graced with the presence of those touched by magic."
The blonde nodded and her smile grew large as the girl she now held had hair just hers, "You are a very pretty little girl. What does your mother call you?"
"Mini," a big grin and she placed her hand onto Astrid's face, "Pretty."
The chief shook his head as he laughed, closing and barring the door, and began to remove his armour. When he turned around, he was again shocked to see the woman had also removed her armour and most of her clothes, she had only her leggings and breast wrap still on. Seeing him looking at her, his hands frozen in the air, Mia gave him a smirk, "I'll handle Night Fury saliva on me, Monstrous Nightmare won't do and I got it all over me."
"You are very beautiful," Hiccup said without thinking, his face going bright red when he realised he had said that aloud, "Umm."
"Thank you," for a second, she couldn't feel the pain but then it hit, "Oh sweet merciful gods. Damn thing ate my potion pouch with my leg, I only basics in the cave."
Finishing his armour removal, the auburn haired man dropped to the floor by the bed and held her down, "You must remain still, I've got a drink to ease your pain but it will knock you out."
As she took the cup, Mia hesitated for a second, "What is your name?"
"Hiccup," the chief helped lift the woman up so she could drink, and smoothed back her hair when she was taken into sleep, murmuring to himself, "Very beautiful."
