AN: So I think I'm getting better at writing longer chapter (Tell me if I'm not) which is cool. Also I had a guest bring up a very good point that I would like to address "There is nothing in canonical HTTYD to indicate that Astrid ever teased, bullied or was mean to Hiccup." That is very true but fanfiction put her into that group just because it adds a little story and emotion. Anyway In this story Astrid didn't bully, tease, or hurt him in any way but she didn't do anything to stop it either while being aware which upsets Hiccup because they were friends. Now with that out of the way I would like to thank the guest that informed me for the little mix up. Another bit of big news… I hit 100 follows! I freaked out my family coming over because all I was saying to myself was "100 follows… wow." Ya I felt a little awkward. So I want to thank my currant all 104 followers and 65 favorites for getting me to that number. So enough this rant has gone on too long and I will say enjoy the chapter!

I woke up to the sound of whimpering behind me "Tooth are you ok?" I felt het start to shake behind me "N-no please stop… don't hurt her!" I quickly pushed off her wing "H-Helen please I'm sorry…" I started to shake her "Toothless wake up!" I shook her harder "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…" I went to her head and grabbed it. I felt a wetness on my hand "Tooth please wake up please, it's just a nightmare." I said as I slightly shook her head. I watched her eyes open slightly "H-hiccup?" I sighed in relief and gave her a hug "It's me Tooth don't worry I'm here." I felt my shoulder start to get wet "It felt so real…" I rubbed her back "They always do but remember, it's not real." I heard her sniffle "Thanks for waking me." I lied down next to her head "No problem at all Tooth." I watched her for a few minutes and she got back to sleep, I soon followed

I felt something nudging my side "Hiccup it's time to get up." I groaned and opened my eyes "Please tell me I'm not going to be late." I didn't want to be late again "No but I let you sleep a bit longer and I brought you breakfast." I sat up and thanked her. I grabbed the fish and started eating it. My mind was still trying to prevent me from eating it raw but it still didn't taste bad in the end. I looked up and decided that I would have to leave in a few minutes so I grabbed the rest of the herbs from last night and turned it into a paste "This will be the last time I do this. It's healing up nicely." I said as I put the little paste I had left onto her tail "I can't wait to be able to fly properly." She said looking up to the sky. I looked up too wondering what I would be like to fly. I decided that my time has run out "I'm going to have to leave. I'll see you later." She looked back down at me "I know, see you later." I grabbed the basket and walked out of the cove

I arrived and started to go to the arena. I looked around and saw lots of commotion with people moving towards the docks. I found Gobber in the crowd "Gobber what's going on?" He turned to see me "Your father is returning, oh and training is canceled." I felt stupid after all I've been to my dad returning before "Oh ya, I forgot." I decided it best for me to greet my dad down at the docks so I followed Gobber

I waited with Gobber until the boats docked… at least what was left of them. The boats were loaded with people so I'm going to assume that most made it to another boat before theirs sank. I watched my father's boat pull up, multiple people began to come off with their weapons and spare cloths. My dad stepped off and greeted Gobber "So did ye find the nest?" I watched my dad's face begin to darken "Not even close." He said "Oh wonderful." Gobber and I are the few that can be sarcastic in moments like these "Please tell me you're at least having better luck here." Gobber shrugged "Nothing great but nothing bad either. Your son's getting a little better though." I saw his face crack a slight smile "Good."

I decided now would be a good time to welcome him home "Welcome back dad." I watched him lighten up at those words "Ahh yes, it's good to be back." He gave me a quick hug "So Gobber said you're getting good at training, is it true?" I felt a little guilty considering I've done nothing to get better, but I nodded in a yes "That's my boy!" He said following it with a chuckle. I grabbed his bag of cloths and started walking with him back to the house "Are you training at home too, or just with Gobber?" I could tell he was trying to start up a conversation "I'm training out in the forest." I heard him hum a little "That's good…" I felt it start to go awkward and the trip went silent from there

We got to the house and I brought the cloths he brought back up to his room. I came back down and seen my dad rubbing a helmet gently "Who's helmet is that?" I asked curiously. He stopped rubbing it and stood up "It's yours." My eyes widened a little; I never thought I would get a helmet from my dad "D-dad I don't know what to say…" He smiled and gave me the helmet "Your mother would have wanted you to have it…" I began to rub the smooth surface in the front "… it's half of her breast plate, I-it keeps her close." I was a little wierded out but it is one of the nicest things I've ever gotten from my dad "Thank you dad." I said putting it on my head to try it on. It's a little too big for my head but I didn't care if it was useable, it was the thought of it that I cared about "Oh ya and I forgot…" I watched him quickly go up the stairs and herd stuff being moved "Ahh here it is." He came down the stairs with his hands behind his back

"What's that?" I said asking the obvious. I saw a smile go across his face before he brought out a book from his back. I was confused; it isn't like Vikings like to read or had books. He handed the book and I read the title "Complete Guide Of Weapons Part 2" I looked at my dad surprised "When did you get this?" I watched him rub his hands together "Well I've had that book for a while, but the weapons in it were a little to foreign for me which is why I assumed you might like it." I did a quick flip through it and seen lots of weapons that I have never heard of before. The katana, gladius, rapier, and lots of other weird ones "Thank you dad… I really like it." He patted me on the back "Thought you would." I looked a little closer and realized that it showed you the history of the weapon, how to build it, and how to use it 'Maybe I'll find something in here that I might use' I thought flipping around it a bit. I spent about half an hour before wanting to go see Toothless "Hey dad, I'm going to the forest to train." I told him "Ok see you tonight." I began to walk out of the house when I just realized that now I couldn't sleep with Toothless anymore 'Damn…'

I got a few more fish out of storage before returning to the cove. I walked down through the little crevice "Hey Tooth are you here?" I called out. I didn't hear any response 'Guess she's out fishing' I decided while she was away I would do what I had said to my dad and train, bet he wouldn't like this type of training though. Instead of raining my flame I have decided to change a body part into a dragonic one. I looked at my right hand and decided to turn it into a night fury's. I closed my eyes and imagined the look of Toothless's paw and thought about that becoming one with my hand. I opened my eyes and concentrated on my hand for a couple minutes. I seen a little flash of light, that wasn't that bright, before seeing my hand with scales and claws on them "Whoa…" I turned around to see Toothless. I didn't even hear her come in. I looked at my left hand and tried the same thing; it happened a lot faster this time now that I knew what to do.

I looked back over to Toothless and grinned "I think I'm getting the hang of this." She had a look on her face that worried me "Tooth what's wrong?" She shook her head "Nothing's wrong I just… have a question for you." I felt a fear start to rise in me "What is it?" She looked like she really wanted to ask "Well I was wondering if you wanted to… go flying with me?" I sighed out in relief that it wasn't a "Bad" question. Then what she just asked me just sank in "Like as in actually fly?" She nodded and then nervously dragged one of her paws across the ground "Ya… if you want to." I laughed a little at her nervousness "Of course I will." Her nervousness melted away instantly "Really?!" She asked excitedly "Of course I will."

She jumped around "Why were you nervous for asking." I asked "I thought you might be afraid of heights." She said "You don't have to be worry about that. Also how will I fly with you?" I asked wondering how we would do this "Well you'd ride me of course." She said back. I felt myself start to blush deeply and looked down. I shook my head 'Gods I'm sick' I thought as I quickly brought myself back to normal "So when do you want to do this?" I asked "Well I was thinking now, unless you don't want to." I thought about it for a second before deciding that I did want to fly "Then let's do it, just go slow ok?" She nodded before lowering herself closer to the ground. I climbed on and sat a little bit behind her front legs "Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked worried "If I didn't Tooth I would tell you, but this is something I want to do." I responded "Just don't go too fast." I added "Ok ready?"

"I'm ready." I felt her tense up before she jumped into the air, I gripped her back tightly. I felt my body start to tell me that this isn't ok, but I ignored it. I looked back to see the ground getting further and further away, I loved every second of it. We got to a decent height nearing the clouds "That was the fastest we should go for this trip." I heard Toothless say underneath me "Tooth this is… amazing." I said putting my hand on her shoulder rubbing it "I knew you would enjoy it." I looked down over her sides and seen Berk, it's beautiful. We flew slowly above Berk to a point where we couldn't be seen "Can we go higher, I want to see a cloud if that's ok." I asked her. She started a slow ascend up to the clouds. When we reached them I swiped my hand expecting it to be fluffy but all I got was a cold wet hand. I wiped my hand off "So clouds are water?" I heard her hum out a yes

We were flying around for a while when I decided to ask what Thor wanted me to "Tooth why do dragons raid Berk?" I felt her falter in flight for a second "Why would you ask that?" She responded "It's just… from what I can tell dragons can fend for themselves so why attack us?" I asked wondering what was so bad "I'll tell you when we land but for now I just want to enjoy this flight with you." I agreed and began to enjoy the flight again. It was starting to get dark and I told her I needed to get back "Ok I'll bring us back just give me…" She quickly shot up into the air causing me to nearly fall off "What are you do…" I seen a horde of dragons around us and pushed myself close to her back "Tooth what's happening?" I whispered. She didn't respond but instead started to duck and weave through sea stacks that had appeared. We did that for a minute before a giant mountain came into view 'I assume this is the nest.'

"What my dad wouldn't give to find this." We shot in through a little hole in the side and came out inside to see a huge chasm. Toothless brought us to a little perch over viewing the chasm. I watched as lots of dragons came in dropping their food into the chasm "Wow, don't even have the decency to eat it." I mumbled out annoyed. I kept watching until a groncle came last and spit out a half eaten fish. I watched it start to fly away until I heard a growl that could only come from Niflheim. The groncle tried fly faster but I watched in horror as a head as big as a house come up and ate it "Tooth please we NEED to get out of here!" I yelled at her. It must have done the trick because she shook her head and started to look for a way out. Unfortunately the monster in front of me also heard me "A human in my nest?! Unacceptable!" I saw a bunch of dragons take off as fast as they could while crying out in fear. I gripped Toothless's back expecting the quick take off. I yelled out when she took off because it was extremely fast. I looked behind us to see the behemoth starting to come up after us. I watched it get a Zippleback before going back down

We made it back to the cove in record time. I hopped off of her and knelt down on the ground to keep myself from falling over "Tooth… what the Hel was that?!" I said after a few seconds looking up at her "That is why we raid the Vikings." It made sense; it was almost like a bee hive except this bee hive is a mountain and has a dragon that is almost equal in size to it. I now understood why Thor wouldn't just tell me "So… that was exciting." I said sarcastically. I heard Toothless huff "That monster needs to die." Whoa that was a quick change of mood but I did agree. I watched her head fall "But it's not possible." She said quietly. I put my hand on her shoulder "That tyrant will fall, maybe not now but she will even if I have to do it myself." I told her confidently "That's the thing Hiccup I don't want you to." I was confused "Why wouldn't you?" She turned her head to look at me "Because I really like you ok and I don't want to lose you." She said with a tear going down her face "I can't lose you too." She whispered out. I gave her a hug around her neck "You won't." I whispered into her ear

I kept hugging her for a minute before pulling away. I watched her smile sadly "I know you will try to bring her down in the future no matter what, but it scares me." I looked into her eyes "I wouldn't try anything unless I was positive that it would work so don't worry." I'm going to assume those words helped because I watched her visually relax. I looked down at my hands and realized that they were still dragonic 'Whoops.' I concentrated on making them normal again. After a few seconds a familiar flash happened and they were normal 'That's better'

I remembered the fish I brought and grabbed them "Here's some dinner, figured you might me hungry after almost dying I know I am." I joked "Thanks, I guess death does make you hungry." She responded taking a few fish. I chuckled at her response before getting a fire started with nadder fire this time. I began to cook my food because I'm still not used to the sliminess of it being raw. As it was cooking I brought out the book my dad gave me and lied down next to Toothless "What's that?" she asked as I sat down "This, will help me defend myself." I said "Good I don't have to worry about you when I'm not around you." I rolled my eyes before opening the book

(AN: These are real facts if you're into it) I went to a chapter called Japanese weapons. The first one I seen was called a Tekkan, a duller heavier blade designed to be used against an armored target and a Hachiwari which did the same but it had a little curve to it allowing for armor to be dug into. I went further and found a Kama also known as the Sickle. It was basically a scythe but with a straighter handle designed to slash at enemies. Next I saw a Kunai; this was a throwing knife with a V like shape to it. It was also used to scale buildings and be used as a tool. I marked the page wanting to come back later to this one. Then I found a Bo staff, a long wooden stick that was long in size. It said that this weapon was liked because it could be used in many different ways from slashes to jabs. I flipped through lots of other weapons like hammers, bows, knuckle dusters, and more.

I was at the end when it said that the last two weapons were hard to make but extremely deadly I read the first one called the Horokubiya, this was a bomb that was created by some people called the Chinese. It talked about some kind of black powder that I had never heard of before so that was out of the idea. I began on the last weapon… the Katana; a sword designed to be very quick, very sharp and could withstand lots of abuse. It said that it was the soul weapon of a samurai whatever that was. I looked at how to make it. It consisted of heating up metal folding it and repeating many times. There were other things too but I won't go into details. I marked that page too

I sighed after reading and set the book down. I looked over at Toothless that had fallen asleep "I hope you sleep well tonight Tooth." I said as got comfortable on her side. Her wing went over me "You too Hiccup." I was a little surprised but I thanked her before going to bed

'I will free the dragons from that beast…'

AN: I hope you guys liked the little bit of Japanese weapons, I didn't go too far in detail but I did say the truth. So one last thing before I go to the reviews, how is my summery in the beginning? I know a lot of you would say fine but I look at it and am like "Ehh sounds kinda good… I think." Either way I want to change it and am open to ideas via PM if you're willing to throw an idea my way. Now on to the reviews

scribe0magic- I might add a little god action later, this just seemed like a little better option for the moment

Guest- I'm sorry you feel that way but I will fix their relationship because I believe Astrid will be a good friend for Hiccup.

Guest- Thank you greatly for pointing that out so I could clarify it for everyone. I hope that I made her not look as bad as some portray.

RedHawkdude- Ya great stories, I just fell in love with it. Also little side thing, do multiple people work on those stories then?
