I yawned loudly as I woke up to the sun reflecting on the water.
The reflection blinded me so I moved over to the shade and was preparing to try and get more sleep before Hiccup arrived, but my stomach interrupted telling me that I needed to eat.
Knowing that I would never get any sleep now, I began to think about things.
"A hiccup will be our savior."
Correction: "A Hiccup will be our savior."
A small human viking, the connection between humans and dragons, called Hiccup is to be the one that ends the war.
I smell fish!
"Hey Toothless. I brought breakfast. I hope … I hope you're hungry. Ok, that's disgusting." He said using using his foot to kick the giant basket of fish open.
He stepped out of the way as I went for my breakfast. I heard listing things off, but didn't really care until I heard the word eel.
EEL!
I did want any sane dragon would do when they learned that they had eel in their breakfast.
I snarled at the fish.
Hiccup picked up the eel and I let out a Night Fury scream at the sight of it.
He quickly tossed the eel away, but I could still smell it on him. He cleaned his hands off on his fur vest, telling me that he wasn't fond of eel either.
I didn't even notice him move away, I was too busy focusing on my breakfast.
I had my head in the basket hoping to find more when i felt my tail fin balance out.
I was so surprised the basket just fell off my face.
In my excitement I did not stop to wonder how, I lifted my wings and took off.
When I was just a few feet away from my escape, without warning I started to dive towards the rocks only for the wind to catch under my new tail fin and I finally took to the sky.
I was finally free from the Queen, from that cove and I just wanted to fly, but...Hiccup. I thought of the first time he came to see me. He needed me and it burned my heart to think I could leave him.
"Oh my, its working!"
Where did that come from?
I'm staying.
I twist right and head back to the cove.
"Yes, yes I did it."
I turned and find Hiccup on my tail. I flick him off and he landed in the water.
Not even a few seconds after Hiccup lands in the water my new tail fin failed and I splashed down.
Further down, I can see Hiccup cheering.
Good for him.
He swam over to the edge and began pacing.
I sighed and joined him. Not pacing.
I watch him pace and mutter to himself for five minutes before I lightly headbutt him in the stomach.
"Hey Toothless." He said. "My dad is going to kill me." He said when he looked up at the sun.
I whined. Why would his father ever kill Hiccup? Aside from being the savior, but he doesn't know about the prophecy. Hiccup looked at me and laughed at my reaction.
"You don't know my father."
I tilted my head in a silent prompt to continue.
"My father is the chief."
I froze. My earlier thoughts attacked me.
The chances of me flying again match with Hiccup being born of nobility.
"Oh no, now your scared." He moaned. "I'm an idiot."
I forced my head under his arm.
That made him smile.
"Your the first person to ever accept me. You know that?"
He smiled at me.
"i'd better head back." he said as he scratched my neck.
For some reason, he picked up the eel and slipped it under his fur coat as he left.
I turned and want back to the shade. I lay down and looked at my new tail. And only one thought went through my head.
My best friend will help me fly.
