RECAP: Ruffnut simply wasn't up to the challenge, and she herself acknowledged that. As a result, she decided to step down from her spot in the debate, but Hiccup had an instant answer for this; Getting Gobber into the mix. Alongside this, Gustav and Snotlout have revealed to Morgan that they're going to the debate to help him out, so technically, he only has to defend himself against two other vikings, not including Gobber since he's neutral. Although Gustav is extremely reluctant, Morgan had promised the two of them that if they truly do help him in succeeding, should he gain the role of Chief at the end, he will appoint both of them as significant power-holders.

The huge warmth of the Rookery Island, a place where the dragons usually only come during Snoggletog, made for it to resemble a tropical-like temperature. The red, shiny rocks had embedded within it's mountain-like formation, as well as being surrounded by combinations of coloured water in the front of the big curve of the island, with the shallows looking light green, and as it went out, it became gradually and gradually within the same tone as the rest of the water of the ocean. This was clearly a good explanation as to why the dragons come here for Snoggletog; it's like an incubator.

Throughout the course of the morning so far, however, the dragons, including Toothless, Skullcrusher and Cloudjumper, and the rest with riders and some who came from the dragon hangar (not all of them) at the lower part of Berk, had stayed here for longer than what they're usually accustomed to. It's been the case in the past that they've stayed here for a total of 3+ days, when Hiccup thought Toothless had left him, as that same initial thought was running rounds in the heads of Stoick and the rest at the time, only to find that Toothless had actually went looking for Hiccup's helmet, and that everyone else's dragons were only laying their eggs. This was quite an unusual take on their pattern. The past few months, specifically before Morgan had even woken up on Berk, they've repeatedly been doing it; not every morning, but the occasional one, they'd take some brief time away from Berk to relax and get their own time with their fellow reptiles, and then they'd make a return. The only dragon who didn't really do it in terms of the most frequency was Toothless, because, as mentioned before, he sometimes sleeps with his best pal in his two-story wooden house on his stone slabs. This doesn't mean that he hasn't done it a numerous amount of times, though, because he has. He's just the only dragon who's stayed behind in the past. There's been times however, when Toothless has slept in Hiccup's house, and he's still flew out to the Rookery Island the morning after.

There were about 20+ dragons on the island at the moment, and for the first time in a while, Cloudjumper and Skullcrusher had both followed. The other dragons amongst that lot were also Hookfang, Grump, Toothless, Fanghook, Meatlug, Stormfly, and Barf and Belch. Some of the dragons were scattered amongst the rocky-surfaces, with some standing and sitting on the top of them, whereas most of them were scattered on the front surface, where the curve was most visible. All of them were situated just about ten spaces away from the warm, shallow, light green, eye-engaging water. Toothless wasn't amongst many of his fellow reptiles, unlike the rest of them. He was just sat there, free of the presence of the other dragons, just studying every part of this island, and it was clearly a sign that he was feeling quite lonely. Wherever he directed his black head towards, there was always dragons sitting together, some together in two, or some in packs. His puppy eyes just couldn't look at any part of the red, rocky and hard-island without the fact that he's the only one of his species being rubbed into his face.

As his ears were flat on his scaly head, Toothless gradually let his wings slide onto the rocky surface that he's currently on. He was sat down, this time, looking out to the clear view of the water. He looked at the light-green shallows briefly, but then his eyes were caught onto the sunshine that had partly to do with the magnificent heat inflicted upon this place. He'd give anything for Morgan to be here at this moment in time, just so he can finally show that guy his inner feelings. He was feeling incredibly down because of two reasons, in which one of them has already been mentioned; he's the only Night Fury in existence, so when it came to things like the mating season, he was all alone and without a partner. Morgan being a human hasn't stopped him from feeling the way he has, and it'll continue to be that way for as long as it takes for him to get his claws onto Morgan, so he can have him all for himself. Speaking of which, Morgan not being here is also why he's feeling down, alongside the fact that Snotlout had potentially seen him attempt to pounce onto Morgan last night. The Night Fury recalled what he did last night, and it was clear to his head that he probably did become a bit aggressive, but that was due to his impatience. After hinting it to Morgan, without Morgan getting the catch until now, Toothless was wanting to get it on for ages. It's funny that such a cute appearance can conceal thoughts and personalities, because there wasn't a single chance that anybody would of thought of Toothless to be this desperate of wanting to mate, considering that he's kept his cool throughout the past years.

Thinking about this and staring into the direction of the sun, Toothless suddenly felt the ground thump, in which it was due to Cloudjumper suddenly appearing next to him after briefly flying to get here. Cloudjumper had understood that Toothless wasn't particularly keen on him yesterday, but that didn't stop the Stormcutter in wanting to try and cheer him up. There was a ton of purring coming from the big dragon, as he was towered over Toothless like a pile of bricks. Toothless looked at Cloudjumper's smiling, red and grey curved forehead, no longer feeling angered like he was yesterday. It's just that when Toothless was in the moment, he couldn't be bothered to let it all fall apart. Toothless appreciated it, but no matter how caring the gigantic Cloudjumper is, he was still huffing with tons of air from his throat. There needed to be something that could cheer Toothless up, and as soon as Cloudjumper had acknowledged that Toothless was still upset, not only from his body language, but from his puppy eyes eyeing up the floor, with his forehead aimed directly at it as a shine suddenly made itself out on his eyes, the Stormcutter acknowledged the Night Fury's status alongside Hiccup. Cloudjumper had his four wings on the ground, with his red hooks on his front two holding onto it, before he suddenly ducked downwards towards the ground. Toothless turned around to Cloudjumper, looking suddenly curious with what the Stormcutter was doing, only to realize that, he's actually bowing down. This cheered Toothless up quite a bit, considering that he's the Alpha of all of the dragons. It felt like those holes in his heart were suddenly filled in. Cloudjumper stood back up with his wings, before pelting his head back upwards to Toothless.

Toothless couldn't help but re-do what he did when the two dragons initially met. As a result of Cloudjumper acknowledging his status, Toothless felt playful, and thus, he rushed over towards Cloudjumper's left pair of wings, before ducking down to climb into them. This caught Cloudjumper by surprise, and his head was moving exactly like it did the first time Toothless did it; with his eyes and his natural smile following every single pace that the Night Fury was taking. Once Toothless was fully under there, he sat up underneath his wings, and smiled right at Cloudjumper with his retracted teeth, but this time, the Stormcutter didn't remove his two wings from Toothless; he kept them there, as a way to say to Toothless that he too is also in a playful mood. Once Toothless ducked down and slowly made his way out from under the wings and back into the hot warmth of the island, the other dragons had suddenly flew over to the vicinity.

Many of the dragons were intrigued at Cloudjumper's and Toothless's interactions just now, but at the same time, they had all acknowledged Toothless's position as the Alpha of them all. Toothless briefly turned his black scaly head towards Cloudjumper's towering, muscle-filled body, before looking back to the crowds of dragons standing near the water, and overall, covering up the red-orange combined rock surface that they were all standing on. In the distance surrounding them, the various mountain-structures of Rookery Island had glimpsed a magnificent view as did the sunlight. All of the dragons that had just turned up, including various species of them, such as Shovelhelms and more wild Gronckles, had suddenly decreased the height at which they were standing; in response to Cloudjumper's movement just now, they all felt the need to bow down to Toothless, and not one of them did it in a reluctant style. They were all letting of purrs at the same time, whilst some were sneezing. Toothless felt incredibly cheered up at this, and, in order to embrace it, the Night Fury felt the need to unleash his authority, from a vocal standpoint.

Toothless unleashed his black leather-texture wings, utilising the tail fin his rider had made for him to suddenly dart up and off the ground away. He made a swift turn amongst the clear light blue sky as all of the dragons were watching on, before Toothless had landed his four paws onto an elevated bit of rock which gave him a clear view of the majority of the island. Toothless, once again doing the cute sounds, looked back over to Cloudjumper and the dragons surrounding him, and in the mix of those dragons were the main ones of Berk, like Stormfly, Hookfang, and so on. Standing above here, Toothless's black scales were receiving the biggest portion of the sun light as he got a clear view of the entirety of the island and the water surrounding it, as well as the light-green water behind all of those dragons.

Toothless suddenly gripped upon the position he was standing at with his claws, and, moving forwards slightly, he unleashed a gigantic roar which had sent shockwaves through the air. The dragons below were caught by surprise, but the roar genuinely did sound intimidating. Once Toothless had closed his mouth, the Night Fury's expression said it all; focused, determined, and not to be played with. He looked like he was angry, but that was just his motivated face coming on after solidifying his status as the Alpha. As a response, all of the dragons below had once again bowed down to Toothless, much to the Night Fury's delight. His expression currently, looking down at the bowing dragons, was reminiscent of what it was after he roared at the end of the second HTTYD film.

When Toothless scanned his puppy eyes across all the dragons, one thing became extremely clear in his intelligent brain which actually didn't put him down in his mood due to the dragons acknowledging his status; he was like a sore thumb in terms of not having a mate.

The reason why all of the dragons had extended their staying time on this island was because they were all looking for a future mate. Yes, it's odd to say that it's the mating season. Yes, it's odd to say that in the midst of an election coming up back at Berk, but this has all been building up from the get-go. Even during Morgan's first few days on Berk, and before he even got to Berk, all of the dragons kept leaving Berk for the duration of the mornings, before coming back for the rest of the day, and they'd even come here at night time. It was because they wanted to have a mate chosen before they actually went ahead with their pleasures, so they wouldn't be alone come the actual season. It's also an odd thing to claim that the vikings of Berk don't know about something called a 'mating season' for their dragons, and well, truth be told, it's the last thing on any of their minds, so of course they wouldn't know about it. Even during Snoggletog, they aren't aware.

The main reason why this is important to know is because over the past years, Toothless, to be frank, has been craving a mate during those times. During his bonding with Hiccup, it didn't bother him, but as the times following the dragon war went on, Toothless gradually and gradually became in need. None of the dragons surrounding him had particularly interested him; they were all...the same as one another, and he wasn't even thinking about a human mate at all. It's already been revealed as to why that's suddenly been abolished with Morgan around. He just senses something fresh and unique in him. After all, Morgan did come from an entirely different world, but a world that knew of Berk and the dragons. Morgan was, as a matter of fact, the only human that Toothless would mate with; the rest aren't even thought about. Hiccup is his best friend, and the rest are his close friends. No matter how the dragons will react when Toothless, and even he knows he'll do this if it comes to it, forces Morgan to do it when he's took him elsewhere, he'll always look at Morgan as the one. There's no changing it; but one thing Toothless needs to do is to in fact, tone it down on his aggressiveness when he's around Morgan. When he had seen the young lad look at his pack last night by accident, he wasn't shy by it; he actually wanted Morgan to stare at it. Nonetheless, it's safe to assume that Morgan doesn't feel the same way about Toothless.

Speaking of Morgan, Toothless wanted him to be here as he had made his alpha roar just now, so he could stand besides him.

Suddenly, keeping up with the trend of following Toothless, Cloudjumper had stealthily flew up towards the mountain-like surface of Rookery Island to stand with the Night Fury. He clawed upon his landing with his red hooks at the front of his first pair of wings, adjusting his position. Toothless turned around to Cloudjumper, raising an eyebrow-expression towards the Stormcutter. Cloudjumper, walking on his two feet and his wing-hooks over towards Toothless, aimed his yellow eyes and red-curved forehead to the Night Fury, and the dragons below were all going back to what they were doing before initially bowing down to the Alpha dragon. As a way to finally restore peace between eachother following the brief provocation moment the Night Fury and the Stormcutter had yesterday, the two of them nuzzled together, with Toothless having to raise himself up to stand on his two paws to reach Cloudjumper's head. It was truly a cute sight to witness. The two of them purred, closed their eyes once their heads connected, and ultimately, their friendship was instantly fixed from last night.

Maybe now, it was time for Toothless to somehow make it clear to the other dragons that he's chosen Morgan as a mate, but it'll be hard.

This warm, rocky island, in which the water felt like it was steamed up the minute you'd go to put your hand in it, gave off the vibe of being on a holiday. The light blue skies made for a sensational feeling, the sun was extremely bright, but most uniquely, the different-shades of water that changed depending on how close they were to the island provided it with the title as being one of the most unique pieces of land nearby on Berk. It had suddenly became the place that the dragons were using to find a mate.

Following why the dragons have been, over the past few weeks, and before Morgan even initially woke up on Berk, coming here at night and in the mornings, it's safe to assume that there is indeed a mating season that seems to be the last thing on the minds of the vikings. This upcoming election will literally be in the midst of the season, as well. It's also been revealed that Toothless has been waiting for a mate of his own over the past years, and now, with Morgan on the horizon, he's chosen him, but it's going to take a lot of effort and patience if he truly wants Morgan to feel the same way, which is 100% unlikely to happen. With the debate fast approaching, and with everyone in it preparing themselves for confronting whoever's the other four (apart from Morgan, Snotlout, and Gustav since all three of them know they're in it together) will the fact that it's the mating season cause a disruption in the process, with one particular candidate being in the eyes of a dragon?
