Toothless's description of his human form is going to be different from others. And I am so sorry about the short chapter. I've been having writer's block and it sucks. Next chapter will be longer though. I thank you all for your support and patience with my horrible updating time.


Not Possible

The sun stings my eyes as I groggily sit up. I push the arm off of my torso. Hold up. Arm?!

My head instantly snaps over to where Toothless is... or was. Instead of seeing my dragon, I see a boy, somewhere around my age, laying on the grass where my dragon should be. He has hair as black as night and embarrassingly has no clothes on. His skin is around as pale as mine with many freckles. I start scooting away from the boy as he starts to wake up. I can just see the color of his eyes before they close again, probably blinded by the sun.

I hear him groan as he starts to sit up. He slams his hand on the ground to keep himself from falling. His eyes snap open as they look to his hand. He practically screeches at his hand. I scratch the top of my head. Is this guy like not used to his own self or something? I ask myself as the boy tries to stand up.

He quickly catches his balance and slowly evens himself out. He looks at me, his head tilted in confusion. "Hali, you okay?" he asks which takes me by surprise. First, he is talking in Dragontongue. Second, how in the Nine Worlds does he know my name? I scoot further back, leading the boy to more confusion.

I dare to speak. "W... who are you?" I make sure that my eyes do not wander to places that I do not need to be seeing.

"Hali-" Before he can say anything else, a Monstrous Nightmare flies into the Cove, a wide grin on her face. She lands in the Cove, amusement flickering in her eyes.

"My, my Sklivacio," she says. "It looks like you've finally grown into your powers." She looks him over. "But apparently I need to show you how to change into human with clothes." She taps her tail on the top of the boy's head. The transformation is bright. I see wings starting to form out out of his back. Before I know it, a bright light shows up and I see my dragon sitting before me.

"Toothless!" I shout. I run to him and throw my arms around him. He wraps his wings around me. I pull back just enough to look him in the eye. "You never told me you could turn into a human." I try to look hurt, but it didn't work so well.

"I didn't know myself," he says. He nuzzles my neck affectionately. "Sorry if I startled you."

I hug him tightly again. "It's okay." I slowly release him. I look over to the Monstrous Nightmare (I still can't pronounce their names). "Did you just say that he's 'grown into his powers?'"

The dragon nods. "Yes. He, being the prince, has the ability to turn into a human at will. It uses a certain energy that Night Furies use to shoot their fire. But, if he fires a fire-bolt with extreme power, he could lose the power to turn into a human. So unless you really need to use a fire-bolt with that intensity, I suggest not using that energy unless it's a life-or-death situation."

"So, Toothless has the ability to turn into a human at will?" I repeat. The dragon nods. I can't keep calling her 'the dragon.' "Also, do you mind if I give you a nickname like I did with Toothless?" She nods again, interest flickering in her eyes. I look her over, thinking of a good name that describes her. It seems silly but, "How about Fireworm?"

"Fireworm," she repeats. "Sure! I like it." I smile. Fireworm turns to Toothless. "Now, like I said, you need to know how to turn into a human with 'clothes' on. I am pretty sure seeing you without them is going to make Hali a bit uncomfortable."

I smile sheepishly. "Wait, why would it make her uncomfortable?" Toothless asks.

"Well.. because...um," I stutter. I blow out a sigh of frustration. How do I explain this?

"Do you ever wonder why humans aren't showing their statuses?" she asks, saving me from answering. Toothless nods. "It's because they wear clothes. It seems like they are embarrassed about showing their status."

I nod in agreement. "Exactly."

Toothless looks at me confused, before shaking his head and turning to Fireworm. "So... about that human clothes thing..."

Fireworm nods instantly. "Hali, you might want to stand back." I back up as Fireworm bats her tail on Toothless again. I am about to question why she wants me to back up and why she keeps hitting Toothless on the head with her tail, until I am thrown back several feet as Toothless changes his form again. My back slams against the Cove walls when Toothless fully changes, this time with clothes which I am grateful for.

I see spots around my vision. My head spins as I stand up and sit back down, trying to settle my head down. I feel my breath becoming uneven, the spots increasing, narrowing my sight. I lie my head down, hopping to calm my vision.

"Hali!" I hear someone shout. I can't tell who it is as they come over to me. I reach my hand out, hoping to know who it is. I feel a hand touch my hand. I catch a glance of Toothless standing next to me, in his human form and fully clothed, before I pass out.


BOOM! Cliff hanger. Hopefully I will get the next chapter out sometime next week. And, again, I am really sorry about the long wait.
