AN: Sorry for my French but, holy shit this chapter was massive. Not big but massive! Anyway now that my ego is inflated how about I talk about other things. First off I would like to say that I am in the 90's for follows and I'm giddy for 100 to come around. Also I'm not sure how this chapter will end out because I wrote it over 3 days and I'm not quite sure if it will affect it. If you can't tell cool, but if it does let me know if it's good or bad. So other then that I hope you enjoy this because it has a lot of story in it

I woke up to the familiar blackness of Toothless's wing above me. I began to listen to the rhythm of her heart and the speed of her breath… it was soothing. I started to think about the relationship I was building with Toothless. I have poured more of my feelings out to her then everyone I've ever talked to combined and she could relate to me. I realized that Toothless basically brought me out of a… tough moment in my life 'I couldn't be any luckier with a friend.' I thought with a slight smile on my face

'Or maybe more than a friend…' I shook my head at the thought after all how could a dragon "like like" a human? I myself didn't care for the species difference after all she has been kinder to me than anyone else I know, but I don't think I should risk saying anything after all, we just became friends. I sighed out at my dilemma cursing myself 'only you would fall for a dragon… freaking idiot.'

I felt Toothless shift behind me and heard her breath start to quicken "Good morning Tooth." I said as I pushed up on her wing which she moved rather sluggishly "Morning Hiccup." I stretched out my back feeling slight popping, I looked over at Toothless and seen she was doing the same "So how did you sleep?" She asked "Honestly I haven't slept this good in a long time." I replied

She hummed a little "That's good… so when are you leaving?" I looked up at the sky and determined that I still had a couple hours "I have a little while, how about we eat breakfast?" At the thought of food my stomach growled. I heard her giggle a little "Sure, I'll go get some fish." I watched her walk over to the lake and look in "How become you didn't fish here earlier?" I asked "I didn't want the lake to run out in case I got stuck in here." I quickly understood, if her tail got infected she probably couldn't get out "Smart thinking."

She smiled "Thanks." I remember a few seconds later that I needed to put some more paste on her tail again before I left. My head whipped around when I heard an explosion over by Toothless. I walked over and seen multiple dead fish on the surface of the water "Breakfast is served I guess." I mumbled out walking in the water pulling out six fish. After a few minutes she got four more out of the lake "I just want one." I said grabbing one from the pile. I felt a fish hit me in the face "Ow, what was that for?" I asked rubbing my cheek "You need to eat more."

"Yes mom." I grumbled out before grabbing the fish. I put some sticks into a pile before using a nightmare flame to light it. I coughed a few times considering I had only used nightmare flame twice "I'm still *cough* getting used to this." I wheezed out "It will got better." She said with a smile hinting at her lips "I hope so."

After coughing up a lung I cooked up the two fish on the newly made fire "You know, you haven't tried cooked fish, wanna try it?" I asked "I'll try it… if you eat one raw." Now that sounded disgusting but why not right? "Ok fine." I put the cooked one in her paws and grabbed one of the raw ones. I had to wipe off a little dirt on it "Ready?" She asked. I knew I was probably going to throw up but I nodded anyway. We counted down from three and took a bite… it was, not bad. It tasted almost the same as being cooked but the texture changed a lot.

"You know what… it's not that bad." I said taking another bite making sure "This isn't too bad either, but I like it raw better." I she said "I don't mind both ways, but it's a little bit slimy." I said honestly. It was probably the fact that I was becoming dragon that I didn't puke the second it touched my lips 'I wonder what else will change'

I looked up at the sun and decided it was time for me to leave "I best be on my way." Toothless nodded "Ok, I'll see you later then?" Don't know why but I remembered I forgot to do Toothless's tail again "Of course and when I get back I'm going to need to redo your tail." I said as I began to leave. After several minutes I arrived back at Berk and started to walk over to the arena for training

I arrived only a minute before the rest did. Gobber walked over and motioned me to come closer "Where were ya yesterday?" He asked. I knew it was going to happen "I was training and got lost in the forest." I responded calmly "You got lost? You never get lost." This is what I was hoping not to happen "Well it was dark… my bad." I seen Gobber eye me suspiciously "Did something happen?" I realized where he was going with this "No Gobber I didn't break anything or hurt myself in any way." I mentally chuckled wondering what his reaction would be if I told him I spent yesterday spitting out fire "You know I'm letting you get away with more than ye should?" I nodded my head and thanked him for stopping asking questions "Ya ya, but don't make me regret not asking."

I thanked him again and walked over to the other teens "Today we will be fighting… the nadder!" He surprised us by pulling the lever and jumping out of the way. The nadder shot out and started to look around at all of us. Then it locked onto me "What are you!?" Not gonna lie, she sounded angry. Right before I could say anything she charged me which I avoided with a side roll. After successfully not dying I talked to her in a voice that couldn't be heard by the others "I'm not here to hurt you." I watched a spike fly by my face "Not what I asked!" I evaded a few more until I had one hit me in the side

"Hiccup!" I kept my ground and tried again "I will tell you later but not with the Vikings around." She must have accepted because she went after Snotlout. I looked at the spike that hit me in the side, it wasn't bad it just gave me a nice gash on my side and got caught in my vest 'Pain… love it' I thought sarcastically. I walked out of the arena up to Gobber in the spectator section "You ok?" I nodded my head yes. I watched him rub his mustache "I've got to ask, what you do in your training?" I felt it just hit me that I just evaded a nadder, guess the powers are kicking in "You know running, pushups, ect…" He looked like he bought it

The fight lasted about twenty minutes until Gobber had enough and put the nadder back in her pen "I swear on Odin's beard you lot are getting worse." I heard a few of the teen's grumble, mostly Snotlout "Tomorrow no one bring any weapons." They all started to complain and Gobber put his hand up "No… weapons tomorrow, I have something planned." I could already tell that we were not going to enjoy tomorrow. After he dismissed us I walked a few laps around the arena until everyone was gone. I checked around just to make sure, after all I wouldn't want someone seeing me talk to a dragon.

I walked down to the nadders cage/pen "You wanted to talk." I stated through the door. I heard some shuffling before I heard her speak "Yes, I do." I had a hard time hearing her through the door so I pressed up closer "What is it you want to know." I asked knowing lots of questions would be asked "I can hardly hear you." I groaned, I really didn't want to risk letting her out but we wouldn't be able to talk properly if we kept doing this "I'm going to let you out just… don't kill me." I hoped the nadder was in more of a mood to talk than kill. I walked over to a lever that would open her cage and pulled it

I watched her come out slowly and what I could assume looking for other Vikings "I swear this isn't a trap or anything like that." She huffed out a little before exploring around to see if I was lying. After a minute of checking out the area she walked back over to me and did what I assume to be sitting "What are you?" I wonder how many times that would be said in the future "I'm a friend." I replied casually, she didn't look like she enjoyed that answer "Fine, then why do you smell of night fury Viking." She spit out the last bit "I have become friends with one and see her quite a bit, which probably explains the smell." She looked surprised then doubtful "Prove it."

I stood there a few seconds wondering how I could possibly prove that "Umm… how?" I thought about it for a few seconds until it hit me "Toothless…" I watched the nadder reel back her head "What?" I looked her in the eye "The night fury I have become friends with, her name is Toothless." The nadders eyes widened at the name "You… actually became friends…" I nodded in a yes. But I guess if I heard a dragon say it was friends with a viking I would be surprised and doubtful too

"So you're actually not here to harm me?" I laughed a little "I couldn't hurt you if I tried, if anything I was worried you would kill me." She looked at me funny "How? I can actually feel the power of whatever is you are radiating." Well now I've learned that dragons can tell I'm a Volkin…great "Ya I kinda… don't know how it fully works yet." I responded slowly "So like I've asked… what are you?" I'm highly debating if I should tell her, but it's not exactly like she could tell Gobber or something right?

"I'm the Volkin." I said hoping this wasn't a bad idea to tell her. She didn't reply she just stood there until she warbled a little in what I can only assume to be a chuckle "The volkin are just a myth."Wow she didn't even believe me "Well humans can't speak to dragons but what am I doing?" I watched her shake her head "No way, it's not possible those are just stories!" I shook my head in a no "But they aren't just stories." I was really hoping at this point that this isn't a bad idea "Ok you're a volkin… still very hard to believe." I shrugged "Not exactly like I believed it either at first."

I watched her shuffle around nervously "Does that mean you came to help us then?" I stepped back a step "What do you mean?" I asked "I mean are you going to get us out of here?" I forgot that I'm basically talking to a prisoner "Yes I will." She started to jump around until I put up my hand for her to stop "I will but not right now, I need to make it look like an accident otherwise I will be killed." She looked saddened that she couldn't leave but she nodded in understanding "Thank you, before you go back do you have any more questions?" I asked "No but can I ask you to do something?" I shrugged "Depends on what it is." I thought I heard her sigh "Can you please tell Toothless that Stormfly is sorry? She'll know what it means." I didn't know who Stormfly was but I assumed that Toothless would "I can do that as long as you can be patient with me in getting you out." I watched a sad smile start on her face "Thank you and of course I'll be as patient as you want." I put her back in her cage and started to walk out of the arena

I made it to town and went over to the forge to get work done for Gobber. I walked In and grabbed my apron "Ah didn't think you would come to work today." I walked over to him "Well here I am what needs to be done?" He pointed over to a small pile of axes and tools of different types before leaving to do something. I grabbed an axe and started to sharpen it "How the Hel do people break this stuff so quickly?" I mumbled to myself "How about by using it." I jumped a little and looked over to where we collect weapons to see Astrid. I set the axe down and wiped the sweat that already was collecting on my brow "What do you need Astrid?" She set her axe on the counter "I put a chip in it while training and I was hoping you could fix it."

I knew this was her uncle's axe and that it was a important to her "Of course, no problem." I began to grind it down the chip, once that was gone I began to smooth out the rest of the blade. I finished off after a few minutes by cooling it in some water. I brought it over to her and set it down "I fixed the chip in the lower part and sharpened it." I said business like. She gave me a few coins and started to walk away. Then she stopped and I heard her sigh, then she turned around "So you said your training yourself?" I was a little surprised she asked but I didn't really care "Why do you care?" Now she looked surprised "I thought that maybe… maybe I could give you some tips?"

I was wondering where this was coming from "Now why would you offer me help?" I asked suspiciously. I watched her fidget nervously; she never fidgets or gets nervous "I thought you might want some help." I just about completely lost it "Help!? Astrid you have no idea how long I've needed help." She was about to say something but I cut her off "I've basically lived in Niflheim for the past eight years and now you offer help?!" She turned away "I needed time." "Time?! You've' had eight years and not once in all of them did you help me or even ask for help for yourself. Why is that?!" She started staring at the ground as if it was the most interesting thing on Midgard "It's complicated." She said quietly "No please explain."

She sighed and looked at me, tears were starting to form but she blinked them away "You know I was very close to my uncle." I nodded "Well when the flightmare killed him I just… I couldn't believe he was gone." I already knew this "But that's not all, when he died the villagers saw the fearless Finn Hofferson freeze in fear from that vile beast and it brought great shame to the Hofferson name." I knew this too but I didn't think people really thought that much of it "For the longest time we were known to be the clan that's warriors will freeze in the face of an enemy." I watched tears form in her eyes "After the funeral I heard some villagers talking about how my uncle died a coward's death and would spend eternity in Niflheim." She put her head down on the counter "Then why ignore me?" This didn't add up. She pulled her head up "Well the village's taunts got to my parents and they forbid me to see you because they said you were… well…." I knew what she was going to say so I shushed her

This did change my views of her a lot more then what it was before, but it didn't mean she was forgiven. I sighed; I would give her one chance to prove that she wasn't lying. Before I could say anything I saw her walking away "Astrid." She walked a little faster into the village. I pulled off my apron and ran after her. I caught up to her near her house; I put my hand on her shoulder "Astrid." She turned around with more tears threading to fall "Astrid, I'm not going to say I forgive you…" She started to turn back to her house but I kept her in place "But I am willing to give you a second chance." She looked very surprised "B-but why would you do that?" I smiled and put my other hand on her other shoulder "Because lucky for you I believe I second chances and maybe have a little weak spot for you." She hugged me. I was shocked for a few seconds before returning the hug "Thank you." She whispered to me, we sat like that for a few seconds before releasing. She smiled "I will do my best to build back our relationship." I believed her "I'm going back to the smithy to finish up some work… I'm happy we talked."

We parted ways and I went back to the forge. I grabbed my apron and put it back on "So what was that about?" I heard Gobber say. I grabbed the axe I was working on "Just mending a few relationships." I heard him sigh behind me "I hope so." I spent la little over an hour fixing random tools "I think I'm going to call it Gobber." I said cleaning up my workspace "Ok lad, I'll see you tomorrow." I put my stuff away and walked down to the docks. I went over to a storage building and grabbed ten fish for us tonight. I didn't want to take too much otherwise someone could notice it missing. I walked back up to my house and grabbed some fresh herbs for Toothless's tail. After deciding that I had enough I put the basket on my back and went to the cove

As I was walking down into the cove I remembered what the nadder wanted me to say to Toothless. I saw her laying on a rock "Hey Tooth." She cracked open an eye "Hey Hiccup." She said as she stretched out. I grabbed the herbs and a fish for myself "I brought some food for us." She thanked be before digging in. I took the liberty of putting on the paste as she was eating. It took her a few minutes to finish before I decided to tell her about my visit with the nadder "So the nadder knows what you are?" I nodded my head yes "Yes. And she had a message for you." Her ears perked up a little "What was it?" She asked curiously "She said to tell you that Stormfly is sorry." She froze "Tooth are you ok?"

She backed up and ran to the other side of the cove crying "Toothless!" I quickly ran after her. I made it over and seen her crying curled up on the ground. I walked over slowly "Tooth…" I put my hand on her "Please just leave me alone…" I rubbed her shoulder "Please Tooth, what's wrong?" She just cried harder. I took my hand off and started to hug her "Shhh, it's ok; it's ok just let it out."

Her cries soon turned into silent sobs "I-I'm sorry Hiccup it's j-just a hard topic for me." She got out shakily "It's ok Tooth if you don't want to talk about it." I said soothingly. She shifted around and I let go of her "No I want to tell you." I nodded "Ok, take as much time as you need."

I heard her take a deep breath "I have told you that I'm not a much liked dragon in the nest…" I nodded a yes "Anyway what I didn't tell you was that I did have a good friend a few years ago, a nadder… her name was Helen… but she passed." She took another breath "We were on a raid here on Berk and she was in charge of distractions to keep the Vikings away from the food. But under her command was a nadder named Stormfly… she got shot down with one of those vines with rocks on the end." I didn't know where this was going "Helen always looked out for everyone especially Stormfly because she was the newest to her group. So she went in to rescue her, she burnt off the vines and Stormfly flew away." I seen a tear leak down her cheek "But one of the Vikings threw an axe and c-cu…" I quickly started hugging her "its ok you don't have to continue." She shook her head "I'm fine… a Viking cut into one of her wings so she couldn't get away." I cringed "But the worst part is when he started h-hacking at her, a-and laughing while he did it." I felt like I was going to be sick, I couldn't imagine how she felt "And I did nothing to stop it, all I did was watch her die." I turned my head away for a second "After the raid I tried to stay away from all of the others, most didn't bother checking on me unless they were picking fun at me…" She closed her eyes looking down "Tooth, look at me." She turned and looked at me with watery eyes "You couldn't have done anything to stop it and whatever you do don't let it eat at you please." She gave me a sad smile "I came to terms with it a while ago; it's just that I haven't thought about it in a while."

I kept her embraced for a minute "Are you going to be ok?" I asked worried "I'll be fine, and thank you for being such a caring friend." I smiled "No problem Tooth." I shifted to lie on her side with her looking over at me "If there is anything you need ever… please let me know." I said "I will thank you… for everything." I leaned over and kissed the top of her head "It's no problem." I just realized what I did and blushed "Today's been a long day, let's get some sleep." She agreed and I sighed out in relief that she didn't ask why I did that "Good night Hiccup." She said as she put her wing over my body "Sweet dreams Tooth." I said as I got comfortable to sleep

'Gods, I just kissed a dragon…'

AN: So I added a little more Hiccup and Toothless time in this chapter, a little bit of Astrid, and a sad story… I did a lot this chapter. Either way I would like to now talk to the reviewers

Nightfurylov3r- I did come up with an idea for that thanks to you informing me and Hiccup can change body parts (Any of them) at will

scribe0magic- Ya I read that story too but mine is changed a bit from that one. Also not really sure on the whole kids thing yet

Guest (MMM)- I'm glad you enjoy them and yes they will. Also I've seen you review on here a couple times, I would recommend getting an account on here (Just a recommendation)

Guest- I'm happy it is a liked change, and in my opinion a lot of the dragon have their strengths and weaknesses but the night fury has a little more of an advantage a lot of the time. Also I didn't even think of the speed stinger, but I don't think I'll have him do that otherwise any battle scene would be boring to read. But good thinking though.

Sun Fury- Well you've gotten to see a little bit of Astrid now and his dad… ya probably won't go well for him

RedHawkdude- Ya you know, just a little visit with a god… nothing too extreme

Guest- Well then by the gods of Asgard… thank you :-)

- I honestly didn't thinks so but I'll believe you. Also it would be more effective but dragons don't shoot fire from their hands err… paws

Kennayil- Thank you for all of the help you gave me it will be used, and I thought it would be a clever thing to do for readers with the god thing

Guest (dovahkiin)- Thank you I did

So that is all of the reviews. Shout out to Kennayil for giving me advice on romance. Also to the core of justice- I'm sorry I couldn't do that I just don't think I'm up for a task like that.

So one last thing, I have been reading a story on fanfiction that doesn't have hardly any follows or reviews and it is FANTASIC and I would like to show some people this story because I enjoyed it so much and it deserves much more credit. Be warned it is a very big story and has some sexual parts (He/she warns you) but if you read it I can almost guarantee that you will like it

Finding Yourself

By: Nightstar Fury

So please I'm begging you guys to check that story out even if you don't read it just check it out it is probably one of the best I have ever read (still reading). So other then that I will see all of you in the next chapter, I hope you enjoyed

You took the time to read this; you can take the time to review
