(Toothless's P.O.V.)

I growled as I flew home, relieved that I am doing it safely, hearing the soft murmurs of my newfound mate, and the warbling of our two hatchlings as they rode one by one on my back and my mate's back. It's very strange to not feel the familiar weight of the saddle and Hiccup altogether, and I kinda missed my old tail. For some reason, despite falling in love with my mate, I was very lonely without Hiccup or Harry.

Behind us are the Berkian dragons including my rider's friends' dragons, giving rides to their hatchlings on their backs, following me home as I led the way. I smiled as I saw the familiar island, and I roared piercingly loud, with the others roaring or bellowing out. I flew closer and closer, seeing the Vikings coming out into the clearing that laid before Berk, and I looked over, searching for the red-brown hair of my rider, or the night-black hair of my rider's soul mate. I growled happily when I saw them running, smiling, and calling me.

{"TOOTHLESS! Bud, I missed you! Oh, Harry, look, he got a mate and kids!".} Hiccup called for me as I landed softly, not wanting to jostle my son along. I crooned happily as his scale-less hands hugged around my neck, rubbing into my cheek. I heard Skychaser calling for Harry as she landed gently, as she had two of her sons on her back, while her mate, Windstrike had their daughter on his back. Harry laughed merrily as I watched him reunite with Skychaser, {"Hey, girl, had a good time on Dragon Island?".}

Dragon Island, huh? That's a good name for the hatchery island. I heard my mate's worried crooning for me as she didn't understand why we weren't fighting at all. I noticed that Berk seems a bit destroyed. I remembered that Meatlug told us about having to leave her eggs on Berk when she came this morning, proclaiming that Fishlegs contained her from being on Dragon Island. I figured that the eggs must have hatched here, and partially destroyed Berk by accident. {"Wow, so female Night Furies are a bit different, huh?".} Hiccup mused out loud as he noticed my mate with a close look, and he smiled, calling Harry over, and Harry came over, smiling gently at my mate.

My mate has a dark purplish-black pelt, with gold-burst eyes, yet she is a carbon copy like me, only a bit smaller and more lean. Harry called his mentor, Merlin in his old native language, beckoning Merlin to take a long look at my mate, the familiar want of being a Rider in his eyes, and Harry told him how to approach my mate carefully.

My mate hissed softly, and I crooned softly, shaking my head, gesturing with a purr as Hiccup did the bond touch like he did that day months ago, and my mate snorted softly, and came slowly as Merlin held up his hand, smiling gently with his eyes sparkling in awe and I can scent that he wants my mate's friendship and Rider/Dragon Bond. My mate relaxed as she and Merlin bonded, and Merlin spoke something, no, a name.

"Starlight.". My mate blinked in confusion until I told her that Merlin gave her a name. Starlight purred happily, and nuzzled her newfound Rider with affection and wary steps. Hiccup then gasped in surprise, {"Wait, we got to name the hatchlings, can we, Toothless and Starlight?".} I discussed the matter with Starlight and she nodded, and I smiled my gummy grin. I turned around, picked up my son in my maw, and put him down, which he immediately padded into Hiccup's lap as he sat down.

Hiccup laughed softly, {"You're quite a friendly one, huh? And walking so fast, too. Let's see, how about Flashwing?".} I chuffed a little at that, as it's not right at all. {"Hiccup, have any better ones than that?".} Harry giggled softly. Hiccup shook his head in amusement, and tickled my son under his feelers which he purred at. {"He's basically a mini Toothless with his mom's eyes. Oh, I think I got it. How about Nightshot?"}

I tilted my head, gave out a mixed purr-growl, and Hiccup smiled, {"Almost got it, huh? What about Nightpaw?".} I purred happily, and Hiccup chuckled as he rubbed Nightpaw's wings. Our daughter wobbled as she tried to fly down to the ground, but whimpered as she got her face into the ground, and Merlin picked up her gently, murmuring softly. Starlight crooned lightly as she kept a careful eye on her Rider holding our daughter who's then babbling happily. She looks like Starlight with my eyes.

I heard Merlin speak, "Moonclaw". Starlight purred happily, approving of our daughter's new name. Moonclaw, it's perfect. I saw Harry smiling, and I took a long look, surprised to see him strangely looking older, taller, yet he looks like the same more or less. I took in his scent and realized that some strong magic must have aged Harry to be Hiccup's age. In my eyes, that makes the soul bond even more stronger and equal, very equal now.

Harry laughed, {"About time! Astrid just named Skychaser and Windstrike's daughter 'Cloudtail'.".} I nodded approvingly, and I crooned lightly as I nuzzled Harry, curious if he had named the sons yet as Skychaser's his dragon. {"Oh, you want to hear if I named the boys yet?".} I snorted with a look. {"Alright, big guy. The light green one is named 'Pinespike', and the light purple one is called 'Splashwing', what do you think?".} I thought quickly, and I warbled approvingly, happy for my best friends.

My rider's father called for a celebration at the big communal den, and we all went there, interacting, laughing, playing, conversing, and more until it was well into the night, and I was so happy to be back in Hiccup and Harry's private place, resting upon my flat rock, with Nightpaw sleeping upon my back. Stoick and the others was still at the big den. I smirked when the boys nearly made out, but they stopped in mind not to bother my son as he's way too young to see anything like this, which I was grateful for.

-Next morning-

I sighed softly after I thumped the ceiling two times, and sat down besides the old wing and the saddle, with Harry watching over Nightpaw, waiting for Hiccup to come out.

{"Coming, Toothless. I was just..".} Hiccup happily proclaimed until he saw me upon the white-snow covered ground, and I chuffed softly, watching Hiccup taking in everything. He then chuckled, {"Bud, why did you pull this out for? Come on, you have a better tail, let's go bareback flying.".} I circled around, not letting him touch me, {"What the? Toothless, come on, stop fooling around.".} He tried to approach me again, but I dodged him heading back to my old spot, looking at him seriously, with him looking quite confused yet curious at me. {"Toothless.".}

I looked down at my old tail, then got up, looking back at the new one, impressed that Hiccup did make this, giving me freedom, but it's not the same. I really missing flying with him, the old way. I then made my decision, knowing that Hiccup will be happy at the end of this. I looked back at him, then smashed, destroyed the new tail with Hiccup shouting in despair, then confusion, then shock once I pulled the saddle closer, crooning and whimpering to tell him that I needed him like he needed me.

He then gave a bright smile that rivaled the stars, his eyes widening in happiness and awe, then I finally was back in the air a few minutes later, the wind rustling Hiccup's fur coverings, the sun warm on my scales, the sound of the tail clicking in harmony with the paddle. Vikings and dragons has found Berk, a desolate island in the freezing, cold Northern seas, and Vikings has called this time of the year, Snoggletog. Dragons has no idea why they called it that, and with the war between Vikings and dragons gone long ago, and to this year, it had promised to be a great Snoggletog, and it has. Winter takes hold most of the year, but those who hold close to their hearts, they are able to fight back against the cold.

{"Alright, bud, you ready?".} Hiccup asked softly and I growled happily, and I felt his feet gather up into my saddle, then flipped from his jump, screaming in joy! {"Whooo! Yeah, baby!".} I fell in side next to him, grinning toothless, spun Hiccup with my paw. This Snoggletog was the best for me. My best friend gave me a pretty amazing gift, but in return, I gave him a even better one. Hiccup then landed back into my saddle perfectly, and we flew so fast, brushing off the snow off the tall trees as I roared in happiness in harmony with his shout of triumph.
