'This is Berk. It snows nine months of the year and where all crazy breaks loose. Not like the Berserkers, thank the gods, but still a bit crazy since we have dragons.' At the village hall there sits a group of teens eating together, those are my friends, well most of them anyway. 'There is Astrid, a warrior who's quite hot-headed if you get on her bad side and her Deadly Nadder, Stormfly. Fishlegs, a very smart person who's quite large for his age and his Gronkle, Meatlug. Then there is Snotlout with his Monstrous Nightmare, Hookfang, and the twins, Tuffnut and Ruffnut and their Zippleback, Barf and Belch. The reason why I said most of them is because even though I get along with the twins, they still are a bit of a handful, and Snotlout, ooohhhh, when we first met for the first time he was not the most friendliest viking and a showoff. Oh, and the boy with the prosthetic leg, that's my best friend Hiccup. He was the first and only viking to ever accept me into the village before the peace and we have a lot in common. For example, we weren't accepted in our villages and were treated very lowly. Hiccup told me once that his father ignored him most of his life, and was nicknamed the 'Useless' and asked about my father. I became hesitant, but when I looked at Hiccup's eyes I saw understanding, kindness, and a friend. I told him my darkest secret, that my father beat me and the village shunned me as the 'Wretch'. Hiccup was horrified and hugged me, telling me that I have a friend to care for me. I cried and that was when we became the best of friends. Later that day, Stoick came to me and overheard me and his son's conversation, and told me that I will always be treated well here. He opened his home as my home as well and I got closer to the Haddock family, especially Hiccup. That was perhaps the best day of my life ever.'

While my friends were sitting around eating, a black dragon came out of nowhere and snatched Snotlout's chicken. "H-Hey!" Snotlout yelled to the thief. 'Oh that's Toothless, he's a night fury, the offspring of lightning and death itself, he's Hiccup's other best friend and his dragon.' Toothless chortles and swallows the chicken whole, ticking Snotlout who was red in anger. The Great hall's door opens, revealing a boy at least Hiccup's size but with a bit more muscle, black hair and a scar across his left eye, and his eyes are forest green like Toothless. 'Oh that's me. I know I don't look like much, but cross me, my friends and family, especially the dragons and you'll wish you'd never met me. Although, that rarely happens since I'm always kind and extremely calm in situations but tick me off you'll get my heart striking glares that rivals Astrid's herself and even she flinches.'

Toothless turned his head to the sound and perked up by the sight of the boy. Toothless roared in joy and pounced on the boy and started licking him. "Gah! Toothless! what are you-No! HAHA-Stop it! HAHAHA! Do it to Hiccup!" The boy laughed. "Not until you say it!" Toothless laughed still licking the boy. 'Oh I can understand dragons and Toothless is also my-.' "Toothless." Hiccup glared playfully to his dragon. The boy couldn't stand it. "O-Ok! HAHA! I love you too, Toothless! You'll always be-HAHA-my protective and loving brother! HAHAHA!" Toothless finally stopped and nuzzled the boy. "And you will always be my loving little brother, Nightshift." 'Oh that's my dragon name, my human name is Matt.' "Oh of course, you prideful eal-eater." The boy spoke in dragon. "PRIDEFUL!?" Toothless growled. Astrid smirked at the sight of the boy and Toothless playfulness. "Hey Matt, if you're done, I saved you a spot by me and Hiccup, and there's fish." Matt perked up at the sound of fish and quickly vaulted over the table to sit by the two. "What's with you and fish?" Tuffnut asked playfully then Ruffnut punched him in the face. "OW!" "HEY! Leave my babe alone!" Ruffnut said. 'Yeah Ruffnut has a crush on me; I will always have nightmares.' Toothless shuddered in disgust. "I do hope that a female night fury will come to our island soon." Matt lifted his eyebrow while shuddering off Ruffnut's advances. "Are we still doing this conversation, again?" Matt asked annoyed in dragon not wanting to let his friends hear this conversation. "You want Ruffnut as your mate?" Toothless retorted. Matt almost threw up his fish but he was able to hold it in. "Of course not! But who wants me as a mate. They'll have you since you're bigger, stronger, and smarter than me." Toothless couldn't believe that he was hearing this from his brother, how could he think those things!? He's acting like Hiccup. "WHO WANTS YOU AS A MATE!? Don't say those things! They will go head over tail for YOU! You have great skills at both fighting and flying and besides they will look for a mate that will show them love and be there for them, and You are capable of that! And by the way your not smarter, YOU'RE the SMARTEST!"

Their argument gathered the teens attention, with mixed emotions. "A-Are they going to be f-fine?" Fishlegs stuttered. "Of course they'll be fine." Snotlout said with a nervous voice. "You think he'll become scaly again?" Tuffnut said gleefully. Ruffnut nodded frantically. 'Toothless was always like this. Trying to find me a mate. And it ticked me off. But we always made up.' "Toothless, I don't know what's up with you this time but IS FINDING ME A MATE GOING TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM, REPTILE!" Matt yelled in Norse. Matt then realized that his friends was watching and heard what he had said with shocked impressions. Matt blushed with his entire face red and ran in embarrassment. 'Yeah not my greatest moment.' Toothless was sad, he didn't mean to be mad at his brother, he just wanted him to be happy and hopefully his future mate showed him love like his family did many winters ago. Hiccup saw his dragon's state and patted him. "Hey it's ok, bud. I'm sure you didn't mean it but what's this talk about Matt having a mate?" Then Hiccup came to a realization. "It's Ruff isn't it?" Toothless nodded and shook his head saying both. Then a thought came to Hiccup, "You don't want him to be with a human do you?." Toothless smirked. The teens were quiet until Stoick and Gobber came over. 'Stoick is the Chief and Hiccup's father, but they don't look alike. Gobber is the blacksmith and best friend to Stoick, he lost his left arm and right foot during the dragon raids.' "What's going on, lad, your dragon became crazy and started roaring across from the hall." Gobber said with his mugged prosthetic to his mouth. "Sorry Gobber, Toothless and Matt had another argument again." Hiccup said. "What was it this time?" Stoick asked. "I have no idea. Uh ...but Matt yelled something about Toothless finding him a dragon for a mate, apparently they have been arguing about it since the red death's death." Hiccup nervously said. Gobber was confused on why Hiccup's dragon wanted Matt to have a dragon for a mate "But Matt's not a dragon." Gobber said. "Actually, Gobber, he is." Fishlegs spoke up. 'Yeah you weren't expecting that were you.' It was silent for a full minute until Gobber laughed maniacally. "HAHAHAHA! Matt is A DRAGON! HAHAHA! HEH. You youngsters-" Gobber stopped when he saw the unamused and serious faces of the teens. Gobber looked to Stoick, who nodded. It was silent until he finally spoke. "Your serious? Was he born a dragon or….I wouldn't say magic he's too pure, but still is he or is he human." "Born a dragon? I wish. He would make a good dragon though." Stormfly squawked. Toothless heard and smirked. "He's already a good dragon but… Don't you mean good mate?" he chuffed. Stormfly quickly turned her head to the side of her rider blushing furiously. 'Stormfly is also attracted to me, I don't understand why, were different species of dragon and yet there have been different species interbreeding but at least she's not Ruffnut, but I'm not attractive to her. "Easy Stormfly. And Matt is human….in a way." Astrid said. "Actually, we don't really know his origins" Hiccup realized, "but we learned he's a Shifter according to the dragons." Stoick's eyebrows rose. "Shifter? I've heard of them in legends but they disappeared long ago since the first war between us vikings and dragons." Fishlegs instantly jumped. "W-Wait your not speaking of the Dragon's Claw are you?" he said gleefully. "Dragon's Claw? Never heard of it but if it speaks of the Shifters, Nightshift may want to hear it." Toothless said to himself. "Don't need to, I'm already here." Matt came beside Toothless. "It's a long story, but I'd like to learn how Matt became who he is now." Gobber said smiling at the boy with new recognition. Matt smirked while his eyes became slitted. "You know about my secret then? Good, I'll tell you but it's going to be a long story."
