"Wake up Demon!" I heard Stoick yell nearby. I groggily woke up and snarled in his direction. "Ever heard of a Viking being killed because he disturbed a dragon's sleep? I have because your going to be that Viking being killed next time you wake me up like that again." I growled before I felt myself being choked by the chains around my neck which was held by Gobber. "Sorry kid but we'll need you on the boat for the hunt." Gobber said with a hint of sympathy. I felt guilt in my heart and nodded but gave one last glare to Stoick before being taken away toward the docks.
Once we got there, the Vikings strapped me down after Stoick ordered me to transform into my night fury form which I comply. I couldn't speak but I could mentally speak with my brother. 'The humans are going to die if they get on the island.' Wolf said to me and my brother. 'They deserve it. Their alpha disowned his own son if my brother is speaking the truth.' My brother, Toothless, said in anger. 'I'm more worried about us if we get near to the queen's control.' I said fearfully before I started hearing Gobber speaking to Stoick. "Listen… Stoick… I was overhearing some of the men just now and, well, some of them are wondering what it is we're up to here-not me of course, I know you're always with the plan-but some, not me, are wondering if there is in fact a plan at all, what it might be?" "Find the nest and take it." Stoick responded which I snorted.
'Come to me, my child. Come to your Queen.'
No no! I screamed mentally to myself. 'Nightshift stay calm or you'll let-' 'Come to me my child. These humans have led you to suffer. They have shunned you from their tribe as your own did. Even Hiccup, your adopted mental shifter brother has abandoned you.' 'NO! YOU'RE LYING!' I yelled in denial but even then, Hiccup wasn't there to help me. Maybe he did abandoned me. NO! I felt her power over me grow stronger and pain in my head increased in attitude and I wanted it to stop so bad that I even resorted to begging to the evil queen. 'PLEASE NO MORE! STOP THE PAIN!' I screamed desperately in pain trying to quell the pain but with no success. 'Then let go of everything. Let your mind be opened to me and I shall heal you and love you my child.' The queen said soothingly. I couldn't take it. I was shunned from my family and the people that I knew and even Hiccup abandoned me. I wanted the pain to stop. All I wanted was to have a family and be loved. Maybe the queen can give me that.
With my decision, I chose to let go and instantly felt the queen take hold of my mind. 'YOU'RE FINALLY MINE, SHIFTER!' The queen roared and I came to realize I made a terrible mistake but it was too late. Everything went black when I felt her mind enter mine.
"What?" I said as I woke up and looked at a peaceful island full of dragons and humans working together in harmony. I don't know what happened, all I remember was of playing with Zyrus and going fishing and… then nothing. I felt so confused by my predicament that I almost barely noticed a passing human and gronickle. I stared in awe of the peace and happiness that I was shown there but then I saw my dragonic parents. The violet and yellow eyes of my parents took a look at me and rushed over to me. "Nightshift! Praise the great queen! You're alright!" Mother roared as she nuzzled me and I nuzzled her back. "Mother? What is this? This peace and happiness? As well as the humans! Why don't I remember?" I roared in confusion of everything happening around me.
Mother smiled lovingly at me and motioned me to follow her and her mate. I followed in obedience and smiled at her in love too before looking around again. How could I not remember how I became a mere hatchling of nine years to a thirteen year old? Why am I missing the last four years of my life? I tried to remember but a backlash of pain interrupted me and my sire turned to me in concern. "Nightshift are you ok?" He asked, causing me to shake my head. "I can't remember the last four years, sire. It's like someone wiped my memories to extinction." I said worriedly but then my mother nuzzled me. "You had an accident with a whispering death recently, my hatchling. You were flying when the dragon came out of nowhere and knocked you out of the sky, impacting on a large rock knocking you out cold. If it wasn't for your brother we could have lost you."
I nodded in understanding, putting the conclusion that the fight with the whispering death caused my memory loss but I still felt like something was wrong with the story my mother told me.
'Do not trust her.'
"Huh?" I crooned and looked behind me but no one was there. My parents looked in my direction and seemed to snarl but went back to their happy selves but I didn't notice. "Nightshift, nothing is there." My sire said matter of factly. I nodded in agreement but I still thought something was there.
We soon found ourselves in a cave, our home. I looked around and smiled only to frown in confusion. It's home but why doesn't it feel like home?
'Trust your instincts.'
I turned around but no one was there again but seemed to be my snarling parents. I backed up in surprise of this aggression but when they noticed they instantly stopped. "Sorry if we scared you hun. It's just that we're still a bit mad about your memory loss is all." My mother but I was still a bit suspicious of my parents behavior but I let it go for now. "Where is Zyrus? As well as Wolf? Shouldn't they be here, especially my spirit?" I asked only to be answered by Zyrus himself landing himself in the cave. "Hey little brother. Sorry if I'm a bit late. Had to deal with a few nadders." He said, giving me a toothless grin. 'Toothless? Why does that sound familiar to me like its what Zyrus is called but isn't.'
'Remember.'
I was so lost in thought that I didn't notice my mother trying to gain my attention before she snapped. "NIGHTSHIFT NIGHTFURIUS! LISTEN TO ME THIS INSTANT!" My mother roared in fury, scaring me to jump back in shock only to be whacked in the face by my sire's tail. "Listen to your mother, child, NOW!" He growled causing me to whimper and nod my head fearfully. I turned to my mother who was less than pleased. "If your done in wonderland we are going to have a feast alongside the humans at the hills tonight and I expect you to behave and don't forget to bring your mate." she said, causing me to double take that information.
'MATE!?'
"I'm sorry but did you say mate!? I don't remember gaining a mate!" I roared causing my brother to look at me coldly. "Looks like you hit your head harder than you thought. Of course you remember being mated to the light fury, right? If you did that, it would be really disappointing." I growled a warning of aggression only to be stopped by our mother. "Nightshift, that's enough out of you! Now go find your mate and… well mate until it's time for the feast to get started. Go on!" She growled, making me yelp and exit out of the cave and into the air.
I was so confused right now. I have a 'MATE'!? Since when did that happen!? And why are my parents acting so cold and so aggressive!? They were loving and kind parents. No, no something wasn't right here. I thought to myself before a white blur almost crashed into me. "Hey what gives!?" I growled only to stop when the white blur flew to my level and couldn't help but stare. Her body was shaped like a night fury but their was a few differences there, like she doesn't have any dorsal fins on her back and her earlobes are less than four than me and her tail fins were rounder than a sharper night fury's tail, she was also smaller than me and was pure white and looked at me with her ruby eyes.
I stared at the dragon coming to the conclusion that she was a light fury and snapped when I heard her voice. "Ahh, Maaaate~ I was wondering where you've been. I heard that you got hurt by a mean dragon and lost your memory. I'm so sorry love. But don't worry, it means we have to be… reacquainted with each other~" The light fury spoke seductively to me. I felt my cheeks become red despite my black scales and my heartbeat beat faster than I can count. I was so shocked that I didn't notice the ground until I crashed onto a bunch of rocks and barely heard voice again.
'This isn't real.'
"OW! Well that hurt." I mumbled in pain before I felt the light fury nuzzle my neck causing me to growl in pressure and embarrassment. "Aw, my poor mate has a boo boo?~ Don't worry my mate~ Once I ride you senseless, all you'll think about is ravaging my egg maker~" She said, lewdly staring at me with lust.
I shook my head multiple times and stared at her and stuttered uncontrollably. "S-So I h-heard I g-g-gain a m-mate b-b-but I n-never r-realized t-t-that I h-have a b-b-beautiful o-one." I stuttered to my 'mate'. I looked into her ruby eyes all I can see is lust and no sign of love anywhere which honestly confused me. Shouldn't I see love in her eyes? To only see lust in my proposed mate's eyes without love and gentleness honestly makes me creeped out.
'She's using you.'
I gave her a little glare and growled when she tried to force me to lay on my back. I'm not sure I like this type of mate I supposedly gained. I always told myself when I was younger that I will have a mate who is kind, gentle, sweet and maybe a bit shy who will love for who I am, not what I have right now. Arrogant, lustful, mean and forceful.
'You are realizing the truth.'
The light fury seemed to widen her eyes when I refused to do as she says but that instantly changed when she snarled and glared threatening at me. "Listen here you son of eel eater, I'm horny and when I say 'what I want' I get what I want and you're going to do as I say!" She growled. "I don't think I like your attitude and how you're treating me right now, my mate." I mocked her before she slapped in the snout with her tail. Scales that hurt! The Light fury glared at me furiously but all I did was slowly look at her, coldly. "I don't think you understand that I'm your mate and-" "My mate? I don't think my mate will treat me like trash and tell me to do as I am told like a little hatchling. Also you don't seem to care about my loss of memories and only care to want me to mate with you… forcefully." I interrupted her, slitting my eyes before she pounced and attacked me.
'Don't lose.'
But unfortunately for her, I was quicker and whipped my tail to her snout knocking her down to the ground. I looked at her shaking my head about the audacity of her being my mate but then again, I didn't like how she treated me and started questioning about how this seems to be especially to my parents. But I wasn't able to think more when the sound of a plasma blast charging up which made me quickly dodge away from where I was standing before it was blasted to smithereens. I looked at the light fury and coldly glared at her using my shifter glare but instead of backing down she started laughing maniacally. "HAHAHAHAHA! Did you really believe that a simple glare would scare me! You must think you're so good. And did you honestly believe you can escape my power, shifter." She said before I unexpectedly felt my mind being attacked causing me to scream in pain.
I held my head in pain and then I fully remembered what happened. Sire died then I left and found Berk, Hiccup became my best friend and adopted brother, I reunited with my bond-brother Zyrus who changed his name to Toothless, Berk finding out about my secret and capturing me and Toothless, and letting the Queen control my… mind.
This… was never real.
'Break her control.'
I growled in pain and stared at the creature of the light fury and spoke. "I remember… this was never real. It was only you manipulating my mind… false queen." The light fury widened her eyes and took a few steps back in surprise before chuckling in a deeper familiar voice. "Well done shifter. You exceeded my expectations but despite what you know, you are already mine." The queen said before pausing and seemed to look into space before turning to me. "It seems the pathetic humans had the audacity to interrupt my slumber. No matter. Once I'm done with them I'll completely destroy your mind and remake it in my image. And don't worry about your shifter friend and your night fury bond brother. They'll join you soon enough."
After the queen said, the light fury faded away until no one was left but me. I growled in anger at being helpless and tried to find a way to get out of the queen's control but only to get a splitting headache. "Why am I so helpless!? Why can't I break her control!? Is it because I lost hope? Is it because I lost faith in my family!? Is it because I never prayed to you Noctis!? PLEASE! TELL ME HOW TO SAVE MY FAMILY!" I screamed in desperation and cried, I covered myself with my wings and sobbed praying for a miracle to happen.
And it did.
A flash of light came out of nowhere, and a beautiful night fury stood in the center where the light was resonating from. The night fury was of pure white light with feathery wings behind her back and multiple sky blue crystals covering multiple parts of her body. Her eyes are of pure green as the forests and showed the gentleness and kindness in her soul. The dragoness looked upon my broken body and just with her voice I moved. "Nightshift. Birth from a human but chosen as one of our own. Dragonic son of Stryke and Violet. Bond brother of Zyrus and Hiccup. My future Champion and King of Dragons. Listen to my voice, my child. I am Noctis, Mother and Goddess of Dragons." She said with a voice so pure and powerful that all my fears and pain went away.
I stared at the goddess in awe after I removed myself from my wings and she smiled at me causing me to blush and look away. 'Holy Scales! She's the most beautifulest dragoness I've ever seen!' I thought mentally but was interrupted by a beautiful laugh from Noctis. "Why thank you, my child. I am glad you find me beautiful in your eyes. And yes, I know what you were thinking. I always knew." The goddess said with a gentle smile causing my heart to break to pieces. 'How is it I'm being so vulnerable to her?' 'Because when I show myself, all my children's hearts open to me.' I yelped in shock, causing her to chuckle and she looked at me with pure love only a mother can have with her hatchlings.
"Tell me my child, why do you believe you have lost?" She asked me and I looked down in shame. "I… I wasn't able to stop the queen from taking control of me. I put the humans in danger. And my brothers… I don't know what's happening to them. I thought I was able to resist but I failed. I failed my family, my friends…" I looked up into Noctis eyes. "...I failed you. I never prayed to you, Noctis but please I beg of you to stop this monster from killing the innocent humans. Please… Stop her because I failed everyone."
She never spoke for a while but soon she smiled motherly at me. "My child, you never failed me nor have you failed anyone." She said, causing me to look at her. "You haven't failed because you haven't given in to her yet. You still have the will to fight and I know that you will continue fighting." She says before giving me a little lick on the cheek. "Now go, my child. Show my fallen child that she faced the wrong Shifter." Noctis says before the wind blew and small pieces of her were blown away. (Think of Master Oogway's death scene in Kung Fu Panda).
I stared at where she was before narrowing my eyes in determination. "Time to make the Red Death in my image of her. Dead and covered in her own blood." I stated with a growl before closing my eyes and focusing on where my spirit half is. 'Wolf? Are you there?' You mentally replied gaining a response. 'Nightshift!? You haven't given in to the false alpha! HAHAHA! It's great to hear you but I'm a little stuck inside this barrier!" Wolf replied causing you to focus on his location. He was where Sire died from the whispering death.
I opened my eyes and flew towards Wolf's location with great before I landed to find Wolf inside a purple ball of energy. "Nice ball." I commented causing Wolf to roll his eyes. "Yes, it even has a tasty taste to it." He growls sarcastically before becoming serious. "Now get me out of here. The only way to get back to the real world is to merge as one again." I nodded as you take a step only for the ground to burst open causing you to fly into the air before landing on your paws. I looked up and growled to find the same whispering death that killed your sire right there. "A tasty hatchling wanting to free his other half? You will fail as you failed to save your sire." He growled with a grin. "Using my memories will not stop me, False Queen. I am getting out of here and taking back my body." I growled as I blasted the fake dragon with my plasma blast only for it to burrow into the ground.
I took to the air as the ground below me exploded as the fake whispering death tried to bite me. I snarled as I slammed my claws into the fake dragon and pierced its scales as the fake dragon roared in pain before shaking me off. The dragon blowed its fire at me only for me to dodged its attack and counter it with another plasma blast. The fire hit the dragon and I quickly went over it and changed into my human form before making a horizontal slash with my blade right between its head and rest of its body.
I landed and sheathed my blade while the two halves of the dragon fell to the dragon with its blood coating the grass. "Nice try but that wouldn't have stopped me." I snorted before the purple barrier surrounding Wolf dissipated and he landed in front of me. "Encore! Encore! That was marvelous!" Wolf said, changing his tone to an artist that's observing his masterpiece. I chuckled as he and I reemerged as one and we were about to escape our mental prison only for us to still be here.
"Aren't we supposed be back in the real world?" I asked Wolf only for him to not respond when I felt a dark shiver go into my spine. I looked up to find a terrifying dragon hovering as its red slitted eyes stared at me. "Alpha Shifter." He says with a psychotic smile. "Looks like we have to defeat this memory." Wolf whimpered but ready to fight with me. "He's not a memory but a nightmare… A nightmare that I will not run away from." Igrowled determined as the red and black dragon landed and changed into a human. The dark shifter. My nightmare and memory of that dark day. I am not going to lose this time. That was when I was only six. I'm older and have changed. I am ready to face him again.
The dark shifter smiled psychotically as he roared fiercely and charged me with his claws. I quickly unsheathed my blade and swung as his large claws impacted with my sword as I swung upwards. The impact caused the dark shifter's arms to go up as I did a spinning kick only for him to dodged my kick and grabbed it before slamming me into the ground. The dark shifter tried to slammed his claw into my face but I moved my head to the right as his claw pierced the ground beside me. I swung my claws into the stuck claw and pierced it as the dark shifter roared in pain as he grabbed my head and threw me into a tree.
I quickly looked up and found the dark shifter pouncing me but I lifted my legs catching him and pushed with all my strength, skyrocketing him into a bunch of trees. The dark shifter roared in anger and charged me with unnatural speed and tried to slash me but I was able to counter with my blade and slash with my sword as well as kick him as he dodged and counter as well. This went on for a few minutes with slashing and kicking until the dark shifter had enough.
The dark shifter caught my blade between his claws and kicked me into the ribs causing me to let go of my sword and hit the ground. I looked up and quickly slammed my claws together to catch my own sword as the dark shifter slowly starts lowering it down towards my chest. "You will die shifter. And no one is here for you." He growled in enjoyment as the sword started piercing my chest as I gritted my fangs in pain.
"Any last words." The dark shifter snarled with glee as he watched me try to push the blade back up. After a moment I smirked causing the dark shifter the growl. "Yeah but they won't be my last. The reason why we shifters die from you is because we are afraid. We are vulnerable to you because we fear you. But I'm not afraid." You say as you push the blade back up as the dark shifter tried to push the blade back down into your chest. "We die because we are afraid of you. What will happen if we aren't afraid of you any more?" You continued as you slowly get back up and put your blade close to the dark shifter's neck, who's starting to become afraid. "When I first met you, I was afraid and you called me weak. But in truth because of you, you made me stronger. Able to conquer my fear." I said as the dark shifter tried to remove the blade from getting closer to his neck.
"I'm not afraid anymore."
The blade gets closer.
"I am a Night Fury."
The blade gets even closer.
"I am the Alpha Shifter."
The blade gets even more closer.
"I. Am. NIGHTSHIFT!" I roared and pushed and swung with all my strength through the dark shifter's neck. The dark shifter stood there with shock before his eyes rolled in the back of his head and his head falls off his body as it drops. I stared at the dead corpse as I spoke with humor. "Fatality." Wolf snorted with a laugh as I walked away from the corpse and towards the light that just appeared. "Ready to kick evil queen butt?" Wolf asked mentally. "Let's go save our brothers." I replied as everything around me disappears with a flash of light.
I opened my eyes slowly before widening them when I see flames around me as the boat was on fire. 'This was not what I had in mind of rescuing.' Wolf said as you tried to break off the restraints but it was no use. "What did the Vikings use to keep me here!?" You roared before a familiar squawk was heard and the same female nadder from the ring landed with… Hiccup and Astrid!?"HICCUP!? ASTRID!? THANK NOCTIS AND YOUR GODS THAT YOU'RE HERE!" I yelled with joy as Hiccup got off of the nadder and turned to Astrid. "Go help the others!" He yelled as she nodded and flew where the evil queen was being attacked by other dragons with… wait.
"Is that the teens riding on those dragons!?" I yelled bewildered offthe scene. "Long story! Okay, hold on. Hold on." Hiccup says taking the muzzle off of Toothless. While Hiccup takes off Toothless's bindings you watch as the teens fight the queen. I can see Fishlegs who was on a gronckle and Snotlout who was riding a monstrous nightmare making lots of noise to disorinte the bigger dragon. I was impressed but I can see the noise is affecting the two small dragons as well. I see them lose control of their flight and Snotlout slams into the queen and lands on her head as Fishlegs crashes stating he's ok only for the gronckle to be on top of him. I see the queen about to step on Fishlegs and you see Snotlout slamming his hammer into the queen's large eyes causing her to miss Fishlegs and the gronckle by inches.
Astrid congratulates Snotlout causing him to pause which the queen takes the chance to try to shake him off. "GET OFF OF ME, ANNOYING FLESHLING!" She roared as Snotlout hangs on for dear life. That was when I noticed that the queen looking at me and smiled evilly before she turned her body and swung her tail destroying some ships and slammed her paw on the ship that Hiccup, Toothless, and me were on. We went into the water but since me and Toothless were restrained we snuck down to the bottom with Hiccup trying to release Toothless.
'Hiccup! Don't! You need air!' Me and Toothless pleaded Hiccup to leave us but he wouldn't listen. That was when he stopped trying to release Toothless and widen our eyes in horror that he's drowning! That was when we spotted something, grabbed Hiccup and went to the surface. Toothless roared for Hiccup but at least he was safe. We realized that there was no way we would survive this so we speak mentally with each other. 'I love you, big brother. And I'm glad we get to see each other again.' You say with a smile. 'I love you too, little brother. And I'm glad as well.' Toothless says as we closed our eyes, ready to accept our deaths.
That's the end everybody. I'm sorry the chapter ends like this. Thank you for reading from the beginning to the end. Have a good day.
SIKE!
I heard something swim in front of me and I opened my eyes then to widen them in shock when I see Stoick right in front of me. Toothless growled at Stoick only for him to grab my restraints and rip them apart, freeing me before going to my brother and doing the same. I was shocked but happy nonetheless as Toothless and I flew out the water with Stoick in tow. We shook the water off of us before turning to Hiccup. "Let's do this thing." Toothless growled as I nodded with a toothless smile. "You got it, bud." Hiccup says as he straps himself in on Toothless's saddle. Before we left Stoick stopped us by grabbing Hiccup's wrist. "Hiccup. I'm sorry… for-for everything." He says sincerely as I smile. "Yeah, me too." Hiccup replied with a smile. "You don't have to go up there. The both of you." Stoick replied as he also turned to me. "We're Vikings. And I'm a Shifter. It's a occupational hazard." I said with humor. "I'm the proud to call the both of you my sons." He says as Hiccup replies, "Thanks dad." I was shocked but I shrugged. "Don't expect me to call you dad after this." You joked as Stoick chuckled with a nod.
You and Toothless took to the air and flew up high. "Oh we flyyyyy! Oh we flyyyy! We're going kick some evil dragon butt." You sang as Toothless laughed before we spotted the red death sucking a bunch of air trying to swallow Astrid and the female nadder. "Time to dive and save a princess!" You say, diving with Toothless and Hiccup behind you. "What's a princess?" Toothless asked curiously as we charged our plasma blasts. 'We'll tell you later!' Wolf mentally replied as me and Toothless shoot the evil queen but it caused Astrid to dismount from the deadly nadder and start falling.
As Astrid screams and was about to splatter on the ground, Toothless caught her and Hiccup asked, "Did you get her?" We looked down and found Astrid smiling at us as we give her a toothless smile and friendly purr. Once we put Astrid down safely, we went towards the queen and Hiccup observed her. "That thing has wings!" He says as me and Toothless dived at her. "Then let's see if she can use them!" I roared as me and Toothless blasted her causing her to fall down. "HOW DARE YOU!" She roared as she spread her wings and took flight after us. "Do you think that did it?" Hiccup asks as I glanced back before rapidly flying, barely getting eaten by the queen. "Yes and I almost got eaten!" I roared as the queen tried to catch up to us. "Well she can fly." Hiccup stated as I snorted. "You think?"
Hiccup looked up and smirked. "Okay, Toothless and Matt, time to disappear! Come on, bud!" He yells as we go into a bunch of dark clouds where the queen can't see us but she almost got me. "WHERE ARE YOU, SHIFTERS!?" The queen roared as we fired a plasma blast from both sides. "WHERE ARE YOU!?" She roared in rage as we continued to blow plasma blasts at her. "That's it!" She roared as she unleashed lots of fire around her, trying to hit us. "Hiccup watch out!" I warned as Hiccup dodges but the fire caught Toothless's fake tail on fire. Hiccup looks back to see the damage. "Okay, times up! Let's see if this works." He says as Toothless dives as you follow him by his side. The queen spots the two of you easily thanks to the flaming tailfin and dives after you. "You are mine, Shifter!" "COME ON! IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO!?" Hiccup yelled as Toothless's tailfin burned more. "Just a bit longer, brother." You growled as the queen lines up with the two of you and starts gassing up. "Hold… NOW!" Hiccup yelled as me and Toothless fire our plasma blasts right into her mouth and sparking the gas. "How you like that!?" You roared as you and Hiccup and Toothless pulled up as the queen crashes.
But it wasn't over yet. The two of you were trying to escape the explosion caused by the queens gas. She was like a living bomb. You were almost free and barely dodging the tail being free. But Hiccup and Toothless weren't so lucky. "No! NO!" Hiccup yelled as he and Toothless smashed into the tail and Hiccup dismounted and became unconscious. "Hiccup!" Toothless and I yelled as Toothless went after Hiccup and I was about to follow but a piece of the Red Death crashed into me and I felt the hard ground before becoming unconscious.
The first thing that came to me was that I was in pain. All over. "Ow." I groaned trying to stand up only to lose my strength and fall into bed. Wait bed? I looked down and found myself on a bed, my bed to be exact. I was home in my room. "Wolf? What happened?" I mentally replied as Wolf appeared next to me. "You got hit by a piece of the queen causing you to crash and become unconscious. I don't know what happened next since I was in the same state as you were." He replied as I shake my head in pain before remembering something important. "Hiccup! Is he alright!?" You say as you rushed out of bed only to fall. You looked down and found…
Your feet stuck to the bed sheets. "At least I didn't lost them." You joked as Wolf snorted. "How amusing. Lets hope Hiccup is alright." He says as he disappears and you walked out of your room before spotting Hiccup and Toothless. They were alright! "Hiccup! Thank the gods and Noctis, you're alright!" I yelled in joy hugging him. I just noticed I used Noctis's name. It felt… right saying it. "Well most of me anyway." He said with a smile as you chuckled. "Yeah, getting unconscious damaged your… pride." I say slowly noticing his left leg. It wasn't there anymore but a prosthetic. "Hiccup… I…" I had no idea what to say. How could you? "Yeah. Look on the bright side. I'm like Toothless now. A tail for a leg, right?" He says optimistically as I laughed. "Ok, that was good." I say as I opened the door before closing it again after spotting a monstrous nightmare. I turned to Hiccup and Toothless. "I didn't just saw a monstrous nightmare roaring outside our home, right?" I say as Hiccup nodded as Toothless purred innocently like he knew something we don't.
I opened the door again and saw Snotlout riding the monstrous nightmare. "Come on, guys, get ready! Hold on tight! Here we go!" He yelled as he and a bunch of other vikings flew. Hiccup and me looked at the village in shock as we see a bunch of vikings and humans getting along. "I knew it. We're dead." Hiccup says as you nod. "I think I'm dead too." I replied with equal shock before feeling Stoick patting the both of us. "No, but you gave it your best shot. So? What do you think?" He says as everyone spots us. "Hey look! It's Hiccup and Matt!" "Hiccup, Matt, how are you two doing mates?" "It's great to see you two up and about." The Vikings says as the dragons spoke as well. "The shifters are alive!" "Thank goodness. How are you doing shifters?" "You saved us from the queen!" I couldn't help but laugh at the dragons enthusiasm. "Turns out all we needed was a little more of… this." Stoick says motioning to Hiccup and me. "You gestured to all of us." Hiccup says in shock as I wrapped my arm around his neck and give him a noogie. "Yes he did!" I laughed as everyone laughed as Hiccup tried to get me off of him.
"Well, most of Hiccup. That bit's my handiework. With a little "Hiccup Flair" thrown in. You think it'll do?" Gobber says gesturing to the metal leg on Hiccup. Hiccup lifts it up and comments, "I might make a few tweaks." Everyone chuckles before we felt Astrid punching us in the shoulder. "You have to find better ways for me to feel pain." You say as Hiccup groans in pain. "That's was for scaring me." She stated as you chuckled as Hiccup says, "What, is it always going to be this way? Cause…" Astrid interrupts Hiccup by kissing him shutting him up. "... I could get used to this." He says as you chuckle before putting your hand up when Astrid turns to you. "I will accept hugs but no kisses. You surprised me the last time but you can be Hiccup's girl." I say as Astrid rolls her eyes and hugs you before kissing you on the cheek. "What did I just say?" I say bewildered as everyone chuckles at you.
Gobber passes Hiccup a new rebuilt tailfin before we heard the familiar sound of, "Night Fury! Get down!" The Vikings yell as Toothless jumps and crawls on them trying to get to HIccup and me. "Really brother?" You growled as Toothless chuckles.
Soon Hiccup puts the new tailfin on Toothless and mounts him. "Ready?" Hiccup asks as Toothless snorted. "Always. Ready Nightshift?" Toothless asks me as I go into my night fury form. "I been ready forever! Let's fly!" I roared as we took to the air alongside with our new friends.
This... is Berk. It snows nine months of the year, and hails the other three. I want a warm month! Night fury's don't like the cold! Anyway, the food that grows here is tough and tasteless. The people that grow here are even more so. The only upsides are the pets, but to me I say companions. While other places have… ponies or talking birds, we have… dragons. And I'm proud to be one of them.
"And that was how we are here today." You ended your story as everyone heard everything. "That was a great story! I loved the part where you decapitated that evil dragon man things head off!" Tuffnut yelled, making a slashing motion as Ruffnut pretends to slice her neck making death noises. I chuckled at the Twins enthusiasm of my story. "I liked the part where you met a family that wanted you as their own." Fishlegs says as you and Toothless sighed sadly. "Yeah, I wish my mother and father were here to see me now." You say taking a drink of water from your cup. "Do you think you'll see your mother again?" Astrid asks concerned as you shrugged. "I don't know. But If I did that will be a great day." "What do you think happened to that evil guy anyway?" Snotlout asked for once a reasonable question. "The Dark Shifter? Hopefully never. I can't imagine what he will do if he finds out I'm alive." You say as Stoick grabs your shoulder. "If he comes for you then we'll be ready." Stoick says with a smile as everyone nodded. I chuckled as I take another drink of water. "Thanks guys but lets face it. There is no way he knows I'm even here."
If only I knew that I was wrong.
On Dragon island where the corpse of the Red Death is, a dark shadow appears on the skull of the red death. The shadow belonged to a hooded man with scales of black and red covering him. "You have failed me to kill these humanssss. But you revealed the Alpha Shifter. Hehe. Soon, I will devour his soul. But I will watch. Observe him. It will take weeks, months, years. Hehehe! Oh to taste his blood. But first, time to visit an old friend. I hope you'll expect me, Drago." The man reveals his red slitted eyes. "Because soon their will be war! HAHAHAHAHA!" The man laughed psychotically before disappearing away into the shadows.
The last chapter of this story! Its done! My first story is done! I should of finish this all those eight months ago and for that I am so sorry but don't worry, this time I'm going to do one or two pages a day before doing other stuff. I hope you loved it and hope to see you in the next story that I will publish along with this. Nightshift Race to the Edge. Thanks for the support and I'll see you in the next one!
