A/N- Posted 6/26/2015 I don't own HTTYD.

So I apparently haven't been paying attention. A friend of mine asked how many people were following my story to which I shrugged and replied maybe 60 or so. As I was replying to reviews I noticed that the number was a bit larger than that, the story has breached a 100 followers! I gapped at it for a moment and sat there thinking "When did that happen?!"

So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you, to all of you that have followed, favorited, and reviewed this story continues on because of you.

And now on to the story!

Hiccup's POV

Yang's words left me beyond perplexed. Who or what was a "Kaal Dov"? And why did he feel the need to bow to me? He knew something, and whatever it was it pertained to me.

Suddenly, I heard a noise in the rafters above me. Looking up I was surprised to see a familiar face.

"Sharpshot! What are you doing here?" I exclaimed in a hushed whisper.

He turned his head to the side before giving a small chirp.

"Toothless sent you, didn't he? Oh, crap, Toothless! He is probably worried sick. I better go check on him. Let him know I am ok. Come on Sharpshot."

Sharpshot gave a low whistle before leaping down onto my shoulder. The impact reminding me of my sore muscles. It had been a while since I had worked that hard aside from training with Toothless.

I snuck through the village. I was surprised to see there weren't any patrols. The village almost seemed eerie with the lack of any sounds except the occasional loud snore. My path was light by the comforting auroras that spanned the night sky. Sharpshot fell asleep on my shoulder. He must have been following me all day.

It took a while but I eventually found my way back to the beach were I had left Toothless and Groenn this morning. I glanced around looking for the dragons. I quickly spotted Groenn asleep, resting where I had seen him this morning, but where was Toothless?

Sharpshot suddenly awoke and leapt off my shoulder. I wondered what the sudden commotion was until I was forced to the ground by a large mass falling on top of me, my breath forced from my lungs with an audible "oomph". My dazed brain panicked, had I been followed from the village?

My fears were quickly subdued when a familiar, wet tongue began to cover the back of my head and back with dragon saliva. After Toothless had quite literally drenched me in saliva, he finally took a step back and allowed me to stand up. During this Groenn had woken up and wandered over, Sharpshot perched on his head like some kind of weird crown.

I turned to face Toothless. He was furious. Not only could I see it on his face (if his scowl was any sharper he would cut himself) but now that I had by breath back I could feel it radiating between our bond. "Where have you been all day!" he shrieks.

His sudden outburst left my ears ringing. "I found the village," I responded, rubbing my ear hopping the buzzing would subside, "and I got captured." As soon as I said it I knew it was the wrong thing to say.

Toothless became even more worried pushing me to the ground again, looking for any signs that I had been harmed. I decided, that my safest bet at this point would be to let the dragon let his worry take its course, I was going to be able to dissuade him that I was fine until he had completed his inspection.

After another minute of Toothless sniffing me and checking me over, he gave a low humph before crouching down on the ground. "So, how did you escape?"

I sat up but decided that standing at this point would be pointless. "I didn't, an older man in the village, the blacksmith in fact, took me into his home. He has been designated as my guardian. It would seem luck is with us for once. I should be able to find some spare time to sneak into the forge and repair your tailfin."

Toothless contemplated my words before responding. "Just be careful Hiccup. If you let something compromising slip…" He didn't need to finish. I could feel the resolution in our bond. If the villagers turned on me, he would attack the village, killing everyone until either he died or the whole village was destroyed.

"Well I have had a long day, so I better get back so I can get some sleep."

To this Toothless raised an eyebrow before leaping on top of me. "Where do you think you're going? You're going to sleep here where I can keep my eyes on you." Before I could respond he continued. "I will wake you so you have plenty of time to return to the village before anyone awakes."

At this point I was too tired to argue so I grumbled under my breath about a certain overprotective dragon before settling down to sleep.

Toothless's POV

Hiccup quickly fell asleep at my side, safe, where he belonged.

Groenn chose now to speak up. "Why didn't you tell him?"

"He didn't need the extra pressure."

"We don't have long though, he may need a little pressure."

Earlier today, while Hiccup had been scouting the village, Groenn had been scouting the direction we had come from and spotted some dragons searching on the horizon. Thankfully they hadn't come near the island at all so we weren't noticed. These dragons were under the control of the queen, however. You could tell by the way the moved as if an appendage of a larger beast. SHE was looking for us.

Thankfully we were still out of range of her control. I could tell that her range had been expanding and now she had a direction to which she could focus her efforts. I estimated we only had a moon cycle before she reached us. One cycle before we would have to leave again.

A week passed. Hiccup came back to us every night and told us of the days passing. When he spoke about the man that had become his guardian, I was intrigued as well. The words "Kaal Dov" resonated with me but I couldn't remember what they meant.

When I learned that Hiccup had started calling himself Zeymah, I was both humored and a little humbled, especially when I told him what it meant. When I had named him Zeymah, I was naming him as my brother. Hiccup told me he was proud to be my brother.

I still hadn't told Hiccup of our timeline, but it was looking like I was going to have to, as much as it disheartened me to do so. Hiccup was happy here. He enjoyed working with Yang and Gallaghar, when he was there.

Hiccup said that Gallaghar seemed a little strange to him. He only showed up to help at the forge for a few hours every day, the rest of the time he was working on his "project". At first Hiccup thought it was some kind of blacksmithing project but that quickly fell through simply because Gallaghar was never at the forge.

Yang continued to be a mystery to Hiccup. Whenever Hiccup mentioned the first night he had been here and the title "Kaal Dov" Yang simply ignored him. According to Hiccup though, Yang excelled at blacksmithing. Hiccup learned new techniques in his smithing work. Ways to bend the metal back in on itself to strengthen the final product. Advanced cooling and molding methods that astonished Hiccup. I for one didn't have a clue what he was talking about.

Hiccup's POV

I enjoyed myself while on Droutt. The work I did for Yang taxed my abilities to the limits and Yang taught me so much. However, something seemed off about Toothless, I figured he was tired of being grounded for which I couldn't blame him. I missed the skies as well. Unfortunate, I never had the time nor opportunity to work on his tailfin.

Eight days after landing on Droutt, I ate dinner with Yang and his family. It seemed like a fairly normal evening. Not much was said during these meals and Gallaghar almost never participated. Which made his sudden interruption of the silence so expected.

"It's not working father, it isn't getting any better. I don't know what to do."

Yang put down the bread and meat he had been eating and acknowledged his son. "I told you that it may not work and yet you still tried. For that you have done well. You learned to try even when it seems hopeless, now it may be time to learn to know when to back off and let someone else try." As he said the last part however he started looking at me.

His son noticed his stare and looked confused for a moment before returning to his meal. The rest of the meal continued as normal. I, however, contemplated the event that had just transpired. I assumed that whatever wasn't working had something to do with Gallaghar's project. The way that Yang had said let someone else try, while looking at me made me pause. Did he mean me?

I laid on the covers that had been laid out for me as bedding and continued thinking as I waited for everyone in the village to go to sleep so that I could return to Toothless. A few minutes later I was startled out of my thinking by a noise from Gallaghar's room.

A minute later, I saw Gallaghar come in to the main room. I sat up a little to try and decipher the situation. My confusion continued when he walked straight towards me and motioned to me to follow him.

I got up, put on my boots and my coat, and followed him out the door. Sharpshot sat on the roof and was about to hop on to my shoulder like he normally did when I returned to but I stopped him with a motion of my hand. Gallaghar continued his way through the village and out in to the forest. I was startled to find as I followed him that he moved his steps made no noise.

We continued on for several minutes, deeper in to the woods. I was worried at first that I wouldn't be able to find my way back but my fears were quickly allayed by the presence of Sharpshot following quietly in the tree tops behind us. He would be able to help me find my way back.

So then my mind went back to wondering what was going on. I was about to speak up and ask when Gallaghar turned and motioned me forward.

"Look," he whispered, pointing in to the clearing ahead of us.

Before me was a large clearing dominated by a large boulder in the middle. I was about to ask what I was looking for when I noticed something. That wasn't a boulder; that was a dragon!

A/N- Another dragon! Hope this chapter didn't disappoint. Please leave your thoughts and comments in a review!
