First things first. There has been a change to Ch. 1 that is sort of important to the plot later on. I suggest if you read Chapter One before the edit September 12, 2016, go back and read it. I did make a note in the author's note so if you have read that, your good! I will wait for everybody to go read it…...

*Waits patiently*

Ok, are we all done? Good, because I can now present to you, Chapter Two of "For the Deaf and the Telepath".


"Ugh, what happened?" Hiccup thought as he woke up from his micro-coma.

"You passed out after I shared with you why I can talk with you and what we are to do." The Night Fury, Zahnlos, said.

"What do you mean, shared? How could you share it with me! I don't remember you telling me anything." Hiccup said to the Night Fury in a mix of telepathic speech and hand motions as he jumped up off the ground. The dragon just looked at the boy with no emotion showing on his face. Somehow, he didn't know how, Hiccup felt the animosity flowing out of the dragon after he said that. "Well no need to be so hostile about it!"

"I am not being hostile about anything Hiccup. Though the fact that you picked up on it means some of what I tried to communicate to you got through. I guess that means we will have to try again." Zahnlos said as he brought himself to Hiccups level from where had had been resting on the ground. "Now Hiccup, I want you to look into my eyes."

"Why would I do….that?" Hiccup asked as he turned to look at the dragon, looking into its eyes during the turn. Instantly he couldn't turn or look away, as if he was ensnared by the dragon's gaze. Hiccup felt the pressure in his head again, but this time he clamped down and tried to resist it, remembering what had happened last he felt that force. It didn't work as the force knocked down the feeble excuse of a defense that he had constructed.

"Do not worry little one, it is only me." Zahnlos' voice said, thought it sounded slightly different than before. As if he was somehow closer to the boy and being muffled by something, even though the dragon himself hadn't moved. Suddenly Hiccup felt weightless before falling into a void. In an instant he found himself someplace he had never seen before. It looked perfect. It was the fields of Berk and up on a small hill was a house with a forge attached to it. Hiccup instantly recognized it; it was the place that he had dreamed and imagined would be his house someday once he was older and stronger.

'I knew it. I'm dead. This is Fólkvangr right, where my dreams come true until Ragnarok happens? What did I do to come here? I didn't die in combat, unless I was fighting that Night Fury,' Hiccup thought as he looked around the place.

"You're not dead little one, we are simply in your mind," Zahnlos said as he materialized right in front of the boy, causing him to jump back in surprise.

"How? What? I just…..What?" A confused Hiccup said as he fell to the ground, landing in a sitting position as he tried to handle the information. "What do you mean by, we are in my mind? How can we be in my mind? More specifically, how are you here?"

"I can be here because we bonded, it happened the moment we touched back in the village. That bond opened up a dormant part of your mind which connected to my mind. There is now a mental link between the two of us" Zahnlos explained to the confused boy. "Do you understand what I just told you or do I have to go more into detail?"

"Did I just…no, I couldn't have actually heard you talk with my own ears." Hiccup exclaimed.

"But you did. Why don't you try talking aloud instead of using our mental link?" Zahnlos said while making an encouraging nod with his head.

"How is this possible?" Hiccup asked after a few moments of concentration. He knew how to say some words as Gobber had taught him, but he found that he was able to talk just find here

"How you can talk perfectly despite not knowing how to very well or how can you hear?"

"I don't care about speech; how can I hear?"

"Short answer, it's because we are in your mind and anything is possible here." Zahnlos explained. "Now do you understand how we are here?"

"Something about a mental link between the two of us?"

"Correct, when we bonded by the forge it created a mental link. Think of it as a bridge that connects our two minds and at each end of the bridge is a door. Now you can control how open the door is, from just letting us talk to emotions and all the way up to sharing memories, which is what I tried to do when you passed out earlier. I didn't realize you would pass out, I'm sorry Hiccup," Zahnlos explained, slightly lowering his head in apology.

"If that's the case, then why don't we get everybody to bond with a dragon and end the fighting?" Hiccup asked, a bit of excitement leaking into his voice.

"It doesn't work that way little one, you are special, they one that I have been looking for my whole life. You are the only one who has the ability to bond with a dragon like this. Now to explain how I know that, I would like to take you into my mind and show you my memory's. it's a lot easier and less straining on me to show you there then have to project them here. Now if you please take your place on my back so I can take you to mind, my rider," the dragon spoke before motioning for Hiccup to climb onto his back just behind the dragon's head. Hiccup did as instructed and as soon as he was on, they took off and climbed straight up. After a few moments, instead of climbing up, they started diving down towards the ground.

"Wow, this is beautiful," Hiccup said as they got closer to the 'ground'. It was forest as far as the eye could see; a forest in full bloom with all the colors as bright and vibrant as ever. As they leveled out they quickly came to a large mountain and flew into an opening and landed. Hiccup got off Zahnlos and started to look around.

"Hiccup, please come sit and pay attention. This is what I wanted to show you" the Night Fury exclaimed as he brought Hiccup's attention to the back wall. Once Hiccup had sat down, Zahnlos laid behind him and allowed the boy to use him as a back rest. One they were settled a haze started to appear near the back wall and quickly turned into an image. It was of two Night Fury's, one older and one younger.

"Who is that?" Hiccup asked.

"That is my mother and I about a month after my birth. Now watch." Came the explanation as the both turned to watch the image.

"Momma, why don't you let me go play with the other hatchlings?" A young Zahnlos asked his mother.

"Because dear, you're not like the rest of the hatchlings. There is something special about you that nobody can know about. You have an ability and are the one that the elders have heard during the communions with Draco." His mother explained to him.

"What's so special about me momma?"

"You will be the first of our kind to bond with a human. In doing so, the two of you will bring a change onto this world like no other. I will explain it to you when you are older." His mother said to him. After that, the image dissolved and was replaced by another one of an older Zahnlos with an unknown Night Fury who was older than his mother.

"It is time for you to find you path now Zahnlos. Remember, once you find your bonded human take him to the Dragon Sanctuary. One of the last Bewilderbeasts alive resides there and he will help train you and your human companion on how to use your abilities." The older Night Fury said as Zahnlos meanly nodded at him before spreading his wings to take off. "May Draco smile on you and may the wind be always at your back."

"Thank you Father." Was all Zahnlos said before taking off into the sky. After watching that the image faded away.

"I understand now; we are to end this war together…" Hiccup said.

"Correct, now I suggest we get going. The Sanctuary is a good distance away from here and you need all the rest you can get."

"How do we get out of here?" Hiccup asked.

"Just imagine yourself back out of your mind and in the real world." Zahnlos said just before his form dissolved and disappeared and Hiccup found himself back in his own mind. He did as he was told and imagined himself back in the real world. He felt a slight tingle and when he opened his eyes he was back in the real world, in the cove that Zahnlos had taken him to. The dragon once he noticed Hiccup was back in the real world, lowered himself so Hiccup could climb on. Once he did they took off into the sky and turned north, leaving Berk in their wake.

Guest Review Response:

Guest: This story is really good so far! It is very unique and fresh! I get so sick of it when it is the same stories told over and over by different authors with very little differences. Please finish this story in your free time! I can't wait to find out what happens next! Thank you! You rock!

Thanks! I know the feeling when you just keep seeing the same thing over and over again. I hope my little change to chapter one further pushes this into unknown territory for a HTTYD Fanfiction story.

Pokmon Lover: Always faithful, semper fi, devil dog! Oorah!
