Me: Hey everyone. I got something to say.

I was checking the reviews on my story when I came across one if you want to read it, go head. It's in the reviews. This Guest, who was too shy to review, left me not only a review of the story but also an advice and an eye-opener. The Guest told me I was repeating too much and that I needed to use more pronouns and that I should stop spoiling the chapters ahead of time. The Guest said that I should rewrite the chapters I had already to fix it, so I did.

Whoever you are, if you are reading this, you did not hurt my feelings. Thank you for letting me know about what I was doing. I did go back and rewrite what I could, but I will keep what you said in mind. Thank you.

And for one of you that asked, the dragons aren't Anthro, their Humanoid. They have a human body, but their skin is a different color, they have dragon tails, wings, horns, eta. Do you get it?

Now that's done, go ahead and read.


No One's POV

Hiccup walked forward between the small opening to the cove. He couldn't believe that he was this close. Hiccup looked into the cove from the opening but saw no Night Fury Hybrid.

Hiccup's plan was to give the Night Fury some fish since he seemed hungry yesterday. He also wanted to talk to the Night Fury, ask him questions, and learn why the Night Fury spared him. Hiccup couldn't deny that he was curious about the Night Fury and wanted to know more.

As Hiccup walked into the cove, he didn't see said Night Fury watching him from on top of a rock. He was justing laying on his back, letting the sun warm his skin after he got done trying to get out. He knew about the opening, but his wings prevented him from getting out. When Hiccup got near the cove, the Night Fury heard him so he was now on his hands and knees watching Hiccup.

The Night Fury was just thinking about the boy. He wanted to know more about the boy as well since he saw the boy yesterday. He had this feeling about the boy. Not only that, the boy's eyes had something about him.

Hiccup looked around as he walked. Hiccup couldn't see the Night Fury watching him because his back was turned to the rock. Hiccup held the pack that was on his right side with his right hand, his left hand near the opening of the pack.

The Night Fury smelled the fish and got hungry. He slowly lifted himself off the rock, his movement catching Hiccup's eyes.

Hiccup turned and gasped, taking a step back as the Night Fury stood up and stepped down the rock. The Night Fury nodded his head forward, telling Hiccup to back up a bit as the Night Fury crouched in front of him. The Night Fury didn't know why Hiccup was there so he wanted to be prepared in case anything happened.

Hiccup gulped and took a deep breath. Yes, he wanted to see the Night Fury, but it was a Night Fury, the most dangerous dragon around.

"Hi there," Hiccup said, his voice quiet as he hunched in on himself a bit, not meeting the eyes of the Night Fury, scared that looking him in the eye would make him angry.

The Night Fury blinked and tilted his head, slowly standing up as he stared at Hiccup. He saw how Hiccup hunched in on himself and how Hiccup seemed to try and not look him in the eye.

"Hmm," the Night Fury said as he walked towards the boy. He saw how Hiccup watched him with his eyes. While keeping an eye on the boy's face, the Night Fury started to circle the boy, taking a closer look at his shape and clothes.

Hiccup breathed slowly as he watched the Night Fury looked him over. Hiccup was reminded of how Snotlout and the Twins did that sometimes, making it hard for him get out or see who was gonna hit him first. Was the Night Fury gonna beat him?

"Hmm," the Night Fury walked a bit closer to Hiccup slowly, not wanting the frighten the boy further than he already is.

"Hi back," the Night Fury said, continuing to circle Hiccup.

Hiccup gasped, not expecting the Night Fury to talk to him. Still, it was an answer. Better than nothing.

"My name's Hiccup. What's your name," Hiccup asked.

The Night Fury paused his movement, thinking. Hiccup turned, hearing that the Night Fury stopped and was afraid he angered him, but once he saw the thinking expression he sighed in relief. None of this went unnoticed by the Night Fury, who was trying to remember his name. He remembered some things like he had a family back where he lived. After a couple moments of remembering, he got his name from a memory of playing with his little siblings.

"Toothless, my name is Toothless. My mother named me that since my father named my brothers and sisters," Toothless said, circling Hiccup again. (Yes, I know some of you hoped Hiccup would name him that, but I wanted to have Toothlesses mother name him that)

Hiccup gave a small giggle. "Your names like mine. Silly, stupid, and funny."

Toothless chuckled, making Hiccup shiver. Toothless's chuckle was deep but smooth. It made shivers run down Hiccup's back. Toothless stopped circling Hiccup, standing right in front of him.

"Yes, indeed," Toothless smiled, "Our names are also different and unique."

Hiccup looked Toothless in the eyes after Toothless said that. Hiccup never really thought about his name like that, he always thought it was silly and stupid, something people can laugh at.

Toothless saw something in Hiccup's eyes. Wanting a closer look, Toothless walked towards Hiccup.

Hiccup start taking steps back at every step Toothless took closer to him. Hiccup didn't see the rock the size of his ankle so when he stepped on it, he fell to the ground. Hiccup was now crawling away from Toothless.

"Wha...wait...what are you...doing," Hiccup stammered, thinking Toothless was gonna hurt him.

Hiccup crawled into a rock, making any other movement backward impossible. Toothless took this as his chance and swooped down.

Toothless had legs on either side of Hiccup's, his left hand on the rock next to the right side of Hiccup's head, and Hiccup's hands were against the rock, gripping it.

Toothless's face was about a couple inches away from Hiccups. Toothless moved his right hand to Hiccup's face. Hiccup flinched and yelped in fright, moving his head away from Toothless's hand. Toothless froze at this and moved his hand away before smiling kindly.

"It's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you," Toothless said, repeating Hiccup's words from where they first met.

Hiccup stared at Toothless, breathing heavily. Hiccup didn't like being touched. The abuse of what he went through made him fear being touched because almost every time he was he got hurt.

"Every time someone touches me they wish to do me harm," Hiccup said, eyes filled with fear.

"I'm not one of those people," Toothless stated, shaking his head.

Hiccup gulped as Toothless moved his hand towards his face again. Hiccup didn't yelp, but he only flinched away when Toothless's hand barely touched his skin. Hiccup closed his eyes when Toothless touched the left side of Hiccup's face.

Hiccup flinched away again and let out a shaky breath, trying to get his breathing under control. Something touched the left side of his face, him making him flinch yet again. Hiccup then noticed how soft it was. Opening his eyes, Hiccup realized that it was Toothless's hand, gently stroking the side of his head.

Toothless was staring at Hiccup, smiling gently. He was trying to get Hiccup to calm down by rubbing the side of his head. Hiccup moaned, loving the feeling of comfort it brought since all he knew was pain when a hand touched his skin because it was either a slap or a fist.

Hiccup turned his head back to Toothless, looking him in the eyes. Toothless leaned his head back, smiling.

"Hiccup, just look into my eyes, okay? I saw something in your eyes that I want to take a look at," Toothless smiled. Hiccup gave a small smile and nodded, doing what Toothless said.

As Toothless studied Hiccup's eyes, Hiccup studied Toothless's.

To Hiccup, Toothless's eyes were wild and untamed like a beast, but at the same time, they were gentle and tame. How something that can look untamed can look tame at the same time is something that fascinated Hiccup. Toothless's eyes also held this curious look, which was understandable because Toothless was searching Hiccup's eyes for something. What Toothless was looking for Hiccup didn't know. Hiccup also saw some longing in Toothless's eyes, but Hiccup didn't know what. All Hiccup knew right now was that he could get lost in Toothless's eyes.

To Toothless, when he looked into Hiccup's eyes, he could see what they held deep within them. Pain, anger, betrayal, devastation, and misery. Those negative emotions made Toothless angry since Hiccup was about the same age as him if Toothless guessed right. There was a longing in Hiccup's eyes, a longing for many things that he didn't have. But Toothless also saw some positive emotions. Positive like: determination, courage, intelligence, compassion, creativity, and leadership.

But Toothless also saw something else even deeper within. Toothless saw something wild and untamed, something ever so slowly coming to the surface, but was struggling. Toothless let out a little gasp and moved back a bit, closing his eyes for a second.

Hybrids have this sixth sense, they could see the soul waves of people, other hybrids, or even their own. So when Toothless opened his eyes again to look at Hiccup's soul, he got quite a shock.

Hiccup's soul was like a Night Fury's. His soul waved like rip tides, uncontrolled. Yet, at the same time, there was this gentle wave about them. It wasn't human. This is what Toothless saw, what he didn't see was that parts of Hiccup's soul wave reach out to his, and the fact his soul waves and Hiccup's soul waves followed together.

Toothless couldn't believe what he was seeing. He was told about this kind of being. A being who was born with a soul like one of them. It was rare. But was super, super rare to have a soul of a Night Fury.

"I don't believe it. Coming across a Dragon Soul is rare," Toothless said to himself, forgetting that Hiccup could hear him.

"What are you talking about," Hiccup questioned.

Toothless his head, snapping out of his trance.

"Something that I'll tell you later," Toothless said, backing away from Hiccup and standing up, "Sorry for invading your personal space, but I wanted to get a closer look of your eyes. You could have stood in one place, but you kept moving back."

Hiccup blushed, his face turning a deep red. "Oh...well...someone touching me never was a like of mine, especially since they all brought me pain. Physically and emotionally."

Hiccup got up and brushed himself off.

"Yeah, I saw negative emotions in your eyes," Toothless said, his eyes narrowing.

Hiccup gulped. For some reason, he felt bare.

"What did you see," Hiccup asked, looking like he wasn't bothered at all.

"Oh, nothing. Just pain, anger, betrayal, devastation, and misery. Also a longing for many things that you don't have," Toothless listed.

Hiccup cast his eyes to the ground. Forget about feeling bare, now he felt naked. Toothless just read him like an open book. Hiccup was awed just as he was embarrassed.

Toothless watched all this, taking note of it. Toothless now knew that Hiccup had a self-confidence issue. Toothless wouldn't let that stand.

"But I also saw determination, courage, intelligence, compassion, creativity, and leadership within your eyes as well."

Hiccup looked up at Toothless, his eyes meeting Toothless's once again.

"You...saw that," Hiccup asked.

Toothless nodded. "Yep! You don't look like much, but if one took the time to get to know you, they will see that you hold a lot of talent."

Hiccup blushed, "Thank you. No one really said that about me."

Suddenly, their stomachs growled. Toothless and Hiccup's eyes grew wide as they looked away from each other. Toothless rubbed the back of his neck while Hiccup moved side to side on his feet.

"I..uh...brought some fish," Hiccup said, gesturing to the bag, "I saw you try to get some fish from the pond yesterday but you didn't catch any."

"Haven't eaten since yesterday," Toothless stated, "How about you?"

Hiccup shrugged, "Yesterday last night."

Toothless gestured to his cave.

"We can eat over there. I'll get you some wood. I know humans need to cook their food so they eat it without getting sick. We can talk while we eat," Toothless said, walking over to a tree and picking up the dead branches before reaching up and pulling dead branches from the living ones.

Hiccup nodded even though Toothless could not see him. While Hiccup walked over to cave, pulling the pack off his shoulders as he did so, Toothless grabbed a couple logs before he walked over to the cave.

Setting the pile down, Toothless grabbed some logs and started to set them up. Hiccup grabbed a stick and put a fish on it. Toothless sat next to Hiccup, firing a small blast of fire towards the pile of wood, setting it ablaze.

While watching his fish cook, Hiccup glances over at Toothless while fiddling with his fingers. Hiccup swallowed nervously before looking down at Toothlesses tail, which laid by Toothless side.

Hiccup saw the damage. He saw how Toothlesses tail was torn in some places that can be stitched back together, but if it's not done right and not treated Toothless will never fly again.

"I'm sorry," Hiccup said, bowing his head, "If I didn't accidentally shoot you down your tail would never be this way."

Toothless looked at Hiccup in shock before snorting and shaking his head. Toothless waved a hand in front of Hiccup's eyes, being careful to not touch his skin.

"It's alright. I'm not angry anymore. Besides, if you didn't accidentally shoot me down I'd still be under the Queens control. You freed me," Toothless said, trying to lift Hiccup's spirit.

Hiccup looked at Toothless with confusion, "Queen?"

"Ah, yes, the Queen. She controls other Hybrids with her singing and forces them to get food for her or they become food themselves. I could block her out, but since I didn't know she was there when I flew over, she took control over me."

"So she's the cause behind the raids," Hiccup asked.

"Yep, she is. I forgot that you Vikings didn't know about her," Toothless said.

Hiccup flinched at being called a Viking, his eyes narrowing as he glared at Toothless.

"I'm not a Viking!"

The sudden outburst made Toothless lean away from Hiccup and stare at the boy with wide eyes. Hiccup realized what he just did and looked down.

"Sorry," Hiccup apologized, grabbing his cooked fish from the fire.

Toothless moved back to where he was and asked, "Touchy subject?"

"Yeah," Hiccup said, taking a bite of his fish.

Toothless grabbed a fish from the pack, taking a bite. The silence was tense. Toothless looked over at Hiccup and wanting to end the tense silence, he asked an out-of-the-blue question.

"So how old are you?"

Hiccup almost choked on the piece of fish in his mouth at the question. After swallowing the piece of fish, Hiccup stared at Toothless, a playful glare on his face as well as a small smile.

"Good way to ruin the tense silence," Hiccup said sarcastically.

Toothless made the same face and smiled back at Hiccup.

"I had to say something," Toothless stated.

"Yes, yes you did," Hiccup agreed, "But you could have waited until I was eating what was in my mouth."

"Well, I'm sorry."

Both boys looked at each other for a couple more seconds before they burst out laughing. Toothless held his chest as Hiccup fell on his back. After the two got over their little laughter fest, they sat straight up, but smiles on their face were present on their faces still.

"I'm fifteen," Hiccup answered.

"I'm fifteen too," Toothless said before saying, "At least, I think I am. I remember I was just turning thirteen when I was leaving my home."

Hiccup looked questioningly at Toothless.

"You think you are? You remember? Are you saying that you have memory loss?"

Toothless shrugged. "Memory loss or amnesia. All I know is that I had a life until I fell into the clutches of the Queen. She took over my mind and my memories faded away. They're coming back, but it's slow."

Toothless finished his fish and threw the bone in the pile before grabbing another fish to eat. He continued.

"I remember that I have a father and mother, an older brother and sister. I have a little brother and sister who are twins since they were born at the same time. I'm the middle child. I know that my family loves me because I have memories of it. I remember that my pack loved me. I don't know why I left, but I left for a reason. I just don't remember what."

Hiccup frowned. He didn't know what it was like to forget, but he did know that Toothless wanted to remember.

"But I also remember these feelings."

Hiccup looked back at Toothless as he started talking again.

"I remember feeling that something was missing. I know what your thinking. How could I be missing something? I had a family and pack who loved me, but something was missing. The more that time went by the more it affected me and my family and pack noticed. I remember talking to my father and the rest of my family and someone else, a female most likely, about something, but I don't know what. What I do know is that I left because of it."

Hiccup lifted a hand to Toothless shoulder.

"I hope you find out why," Hiccup said, smiling.

Toothless looked at Hiccup and smiled back.

"Thank you. I hope so too," Toothless replied.

Toothless reaches out and gently moved Hiccup's bangs out of his eyes. Hiccup manages to not lean away, but he can't stop the flinch from escaping. Toothless frowns and moves his hand away. Hiccup moves from Toothless's shoulder and looks down, self-hate in his eyes.

"What's your story, Hiccup," Toothless asked gently, "It must not be good if you can't stand other people touching you."

"Not much to tell. Your life is better than mine," Hiccup said, hugging his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around them, "And it's not that I can't stand people touching me. It's what they did to me why I can't."

Hiccup closed his eyes before opening them. He had a chance to tell someone what his life was like, a chance to let the pain out. And he was taking it.

"My name, Hiccup, means runt. The people of Berk don't like me. To them, I'm a mistake, a disappoint, and a disgrace. Not even my own father gives a care about me. It's always "Hiccup, stay inside! Can't have you destroying the village!" or "Hiccup did it Cheif! He was near when it happened!" or "Hiccup, start changing and act like a real Viking!". Because I show emotions, draw, looking like this, and that I'm different they treat like trash. Like just throw me away and get rid of me so I'm never seen again. The village bullies me. My cousin Snotlout and the twins, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, beat me. I had no choice to end my friendship with Fishlegs because he and his family was getting criticized. My former crush, Astrid, told me to get my head out of the clouds and start acting like a Viking today before I went to find you. Stoick, my father, doesn't listen to me because he thinks that I'm saying nonsense and tells me to grow up or deal with it.

The day that I found you trapped in the bola I found out that Stoick arranged a marriage between me and Camicazi, the daughter of Chiefesss Bigged Boobed Bertha and heir to the Bog-Burglars tribe. A marriage that I'll be forced to do if I don't find a way off Berk by the end of the month. Stoick said that marrying Camicazi will make me useful and if I do marry her, I leave Berk. Stoick just wants me off Berk because that is what the people want. Camicazi is wild and crazy. Sure, she had a crush on me, but I don't like her. Gobber, the only person that cares about me, is trying to help me off Berk, but nothing is coming up. I just want to go someplace where I feel like I belong and is loved for being who I am. A place to call home. Berk isn't home to me. Hasn't been ever since I gave up on trying to be like everyone else two years ago."

Toothless remained silent through Hiccup's story. He was ticked beyond belief! How could people be cruel to one of their own?! How could a father treat his son with so little respect?! How could they all treat a boy like he was nothing?!

"Well, if it helps, I like you," Toothless said.

Hiccup snapped his head to look at Toothless in shock.

"You had the chance to kill me or get someone, but you didn't. You are here right now to have someone to talk to, not just to get answers. You're not like them and be proud of it. So who cares about what they say about you? Move on and let go. Be who you are and don't let them drag you down. They hurt you physically and emotionally, but not mentally. Your mental mind is stronger than any of them combined. I can tell," Toothless said with a sharp nod of his head.

Hiccup just gaped at Toothless.

Here, a Hybrid, a Night Fury Hybrid, was telling him to be who he is. That he liked Hiccup.

"Thanks. That means a lot to me," Hiccup said, almost in tears.

Toothless nodded a smile towards Hiccup. The two stared at each other, smiling. Afterwhile, Hiccup blushed and looked away. Hiccup rubbed the back of his neck nervously, a small smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Toothless watched Hiccup. He saw how Hiccup's cheeks grew red and how Hiccup rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. And he thought that it was very cute.

"So, what's a Dragon Soul," Hiccup asked.

Toothless blinked and chuckled, shaking his head.

"Well, I'll tell you the short version right now. I'll tell the longer version later. A Dragon Soul is being who was born with a soul of a Dragon Hybrid. While the being still has a human soul, a dragon soul is mixed within it. It's hard to come across a Dragon Soul because the dragon part of the soul is buried deep down but it comes to the surface after awhile. Your soul was like a Night Fury's, rip tided and uncontrolled yet having a gentle wave about them. It's super, super rare to have a soul of a Night Fury," Toothless explained.

"So, while I have a human soul in me, I have a Night Fury soul in me has well," Hiccup asked.

Toothless nodded, "Yep. While the Vikings would view this as a curse, it's actually a blessing to us Dragon Hybrids. Being a Dragon Soul means you can sense things people can't and have abilities that others can't do. To be a Dragon Soul is great honor, but to be a Night Fury Dragon Soul is even more of an honor because it's every super rare like I said. I believe only a few had a Night Fury soul, just can't remember how many."

Hiccup chuckled. He had the soul of a Night Fury, the most feared Hybrid of them all. Vikings feared the Night Furies Hybrids with every ounce of their life. And Hiccup, someone they ridiculed, had a Night Fury soul that was part of him.

To Hiccup, it was ironic. Why?

"I find it ironic that Vikings fear Night Furies. But I, Hiccup the Useless, have a Night Furies soul inside of me. They literary have a Night Fury among them," Hiccup mused.

Toothless laughed, "Bet that they will be shocked when they find out."

Hiccup nodded with a smile. A thought came to Hiccup then as he bit his lip. As Toothless stopped laughing, Hiccup raised his hand to Toothless, palm out.

Toothless quieted up.

Hiccup was nervous. He didn't know why he was doing this, but he wanted to be able to touch others and have them touch him without flinching. But it was up Toothless to do the rest. Hiccup turned his head away from Toothless and closed his eyes.

Toothless looked at the hand Hiccup was holding out to him and with only one second of hesitation, closed his eyes and turned his head away. Raising his hand palm out, Toothless pressed his hand against Hiccups.

Both took a deep breath as one and opened their eyes. Toothless and Hiccup looked at each other and smiled.

Toothless moved closer to Hiccup, sitting side by side.

Smiling, Toothless slowly wrapped his arm around Hiccup shoulders, pulling him closer. Toothless wrapped a wing around Hiccup, keeping him warm. Hiccup bit his lip to keep himself from flinching. Hiccup laid his head against Toothless shoulder and Toothless laid his head on Hiccups.

They didn't care that they just met, they didn't care if they were supposed to be enemies.

All they knew as Toothless handed Hiccup the pencil he dropped yesterday was that they needed each other.

Toothless wanted to help Hiccup and Hiccup wanted to help Toothless.

And that was what they wanted to do.
