After staring at each other for a bit, Toothless was the first to make a move.
"Who are you? And what are you doing here?", Toothless asked.
The female Night Fury shifted on her paws a bit and focused her eyes on Toothless.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know this island was your territory", she replied.
"Well, I don't own this land, but I do guard the people who live on it, dragons and vikings alike."
"So it is true", she said under her breath.
"What is true?", Toothless pressed.
"Oh, um, nothing really. I mean, when I flew over this island, I thought I saw dragons sleeping in a human village. But now that I know my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. I can now say that is by far the most insane thing dragons have ever done. But why? Why are you all settled in a human village? Did you guys conquer them and made them your slaves?", she wondered.
"No, that's far from it", Toothless responded.
"Then what in the name of Draco is going on here?!", the Night Fury exclaimed.
"I am not answering any more questions. As far as I am concerned, you are an intruder. I saw you near my village and I have yet to know if you are a threat or not", Toothless growled. He had no intention of hurting her, but he had it in his mind that he didn't want to portray that he was weak to her.
"But I'm not a threat..."
"Then would you care to explain why you were in my village?", Toothless asked, sitting down on his haunches.
The Night Fury sighed, seeing as how she was caught and had no other choice but to explain things to him. Although, she was smart enough not to let him know everything.
"I...got lost, kind of. My family and I were flying when out of nowhere, we flew right into a storm. From there, I got separated and woke up later, washed up on a nearby island. I tried finding them, but I couldn't. So I figured if I waited long enough, they would come and find me, seeing as how my father and brother have better senses of smell then I do. Then as I looked for a place to sleep, I got hungry. So after finding suitable shelter, I looked for some deer and stumbled upon this village. And low and behold, there was a big bowl of fish suspended above the ground in this village. So I figured why should I go out and waste energy in finding a meal when there was free fish up for grabs? Then I found out there were dragons in this village and my jaw dropped."
"Is that it?", Toothless pondered.
"No. So after recovering from my shock. I took some fish, ate them, and went back to my shelter. However, as I was returning, I heard a noise. It kind of sounded like a cry. So I ran, trying to find the source of the cry and I ended up crashing into you. I guess I was so focused that I didn't pay attention to my surroundings", she explained.
"Okay. At least that explains why I saw you in my village and colliding with you", Toothless voiced.
"So what about you? Why do you and the other dragons live in a human village?", she asked as she sat down across from Toothless.
"I'm not done. You still haven't told me who you are", Toothless asserted.
"Well you haven't either!"
"Well that's true. Although I asked you first", Toothless retorted.
The Night Fury sighed in defeat, knowing the male Night Fury was right.
"My name is Raeya", Raeya said.
"Raeya...interesting name. Just as interesting as your eyes", Toothless admitted. Just as he said that, Toothless shut his mouth shut. He blushed; he didn't mean to say that last part.
Raeya looked up at him and quickly turned away.
"Oh, my eyes aren't interesting. They're horrible", Raeya admitted.
"How are they horrible?", Toothless asked.
"Ever since I was hatched, I was treated differently because of them. The other dragons didn't want to play with me, saying I was a freak or something like that. It wasn't bad enough that I was covered in black scales. Even my family treated me differently, but they grew to accept it as something that would never change. But because of my eyes, my family and I were forced to travel from place to place, since no other dragon wanted to be near me. They still love me, so I guess everything's alright", Raeya explained.
"Well, I don't think they are horrible", Toothless confessed.
"Really?"
"Yeah. I mean, I think they make you unique", Toothless said.
Raeya blushed under her scales. "No one has ever said that before. I don't see how you can see these eyes as a positive thing. They've been a burden my whole life."
"Trust me, you don't know what burden means until you only have half a tail", Toothless chuckled as he swung his tail for her to see and fanned it.
Raeya's jaw dropped in shock.
"Oh my gosh. What happened to you?", Raeya gasped.
"That, is a long story", Toothless sighed.
"Well, we are nocturnal creatures. We both got time, I'm sure of it", Raeya countered.
"You really want to hear my story?", Toothless asked.
"It's the least you can do after I explained myself", Raeya replied.
Toothless chuckled, "Very well".
Toothless soon began his tale, telling Raeya about being under the Red Death to meeting and forming a bond with Hiccup. Then, he went on to explain how they changed the world of vikings and dragons forever, and how they and the Draconians became involved in their life. Next he told her about the confrontation with Drago and the Bewilderbeast, and how he then unlocked his Titan Wing and became alpha of Berk. She was fascinated as he told his story, especially when he told her of how they met Chris and Windwalker. She was even more wondered when he told her of the encounter with Hael and how Chris and Hiccup were chosen to participate in the Tournament of the Gods. When he finished, Raeya could do nothing but stare at him with eyes wide and mouth agape.
"So you're telling me...your name is Toothless? That's such a weird name", Raeya commented.
"So after all that, you want to know why I'm called 'Toothless'?", Toothless frowned.
"No no no. I was just joking. But anyways, you have a very...interesting life", Raeya said thoughtfully.
"At least it isn't boring", Toothless answered.
Raeya sighed and looked around before her eyes finally settled on Toothless.
"Still, isn't it kind of...limiting? Integrating your life with humans?", Raeya questioned.
"What do you mean?", Toothless asked, puzzled.
"Well don't they slow you down? I mean, it's like taking care of a hatchling basically. Not only that, but they can't fly. They can't really do anything dragons can do. The whole race has done nothing but hurt the very ground we stand on. All they are responsible for is the very destruction of nature. They kill what they don't understand, and don't bother trying to understand why they don't understand it", Raeya explained.
"While everything you said is basically true, not all humans are like that. You just have to met the right humans. Like when I met Hiccup, instead of killing me, he spared me. And then he freed me. A human sparing a dragon. That's unheard of. So I decided that since he did that, I wouldn't hurt him either. His father was something else but after awhile, he came along. There will always be good and bad humans, just like there are good and bad dragons. You also have to consider that we don't know each other's languages. That mainly contributes to most of our quarrels", Toothless responded.
"And what about me? If it wasn't for Hiccup, I probably would've died. If it wasn't for Serenity, most of the dragons I know would've died from their injuries. If it wasn't for Chris, dragons in the eastern region would've been dead from the reign of the Song. Am I suppose to be ungrateful for all that they have done for dragonkind?", Toothless continued.
Raeya looked down in thought. "I'm sorry, I completely forgot about their contributions. I didn't mean to be insensitive."
"I don't blame you though. Like you said, most humans are like that. But trust me when I say this, having a human for a best friend is worth it. I wouldn't take it back, meeting Hiccup, for anything in this world. And you can ask any other dragon who has a rider", Toothless smiled.
"You are a very interesting and wise dragon, Toothless. You definitely aren't the dragon I assumed you to be", Raeya grinned.
"And what did you assume me to be Raeya?", Toothless asked, his eyes slightly narrowing.
"Based off of your looks, I thought you were...arrogant", Raeya smirked.
Toothless frowned immediately. "I am not arrogant!"
"I know you aren't. Calm down!", Raeya laughed.
Toothless grumbled and rolled his eyes.
"Anyways, what did you think of me when you first saw me?", Raeya inquired.
"Me?", Toothless asked. He looked down at the grass as he thought. He initially thought she was beautiful when he first saw her, but he quickly pushed that thought aside.
"It's not like she is going to stay anyways", Toothless thought to himself. He then decided that he wouldn't tell the whole truth.
"Well when I first saw you, I thought: out of all the dragons to be trespassing in my village, it had to be a Night Fury", Toothless answered truthfully.
"Oh, I'm still a trespasser now?", Raeya smirked.
"By all means, you still are. And you will be my prisoner until I see otherwise", Toothless smirked back, the sarcasm heavy in his voice.
"Oh no! I'm scared!", Raeya shivered, feigning fear.
"You should be. I'm the alpha of Berk!", Toothless asserted dignantly, puffing out his chest dramatically.
"You don't seem like much of an alpha to me", Raeya shot back, getting into a playful crouch.
Toothless' eyes narrowed. In a blink of an eye, Toothless was chasing Raeya all throughout the forest. However, since he couldn't fly, Raeya was able to out-maneuver him.
"Give it up Toothless. You won't win!", Raeya shouted with glee.
She yelped when out of nowhere, Toothless pounced on her from atop a tree branch. They tumbled around a bit before Toothless eventually pinned her down.
"Sorry Raeya. I know these woods better than you do", Toothless taunted triumphantly.
Suddenly Raeya began whimpering in pain. Toothless looked down in worry as Raeya scrunched up her face.
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you!", Toothless apologized, stepping off of her.
Now it was Toothless' turn to yelp when Raeya sprang up and tackled Toothless, pinning him to the ground.
Toothless huffed in confusion as Raeya stood before him, with a grin on her face.
"What the-? That's not fair! You pretended to be hurt!", Toothless whined.
"It wasn't fair when you told me you knew these woods better than I did. It's not my fault I got even", Raeya chortled.
Toothless whined and slumped his head down in defeat. Raeya grinned as her amusement went down. She became embarrassed and blushed as she realized how close she was to Toothless. She backed up and got off of him quickly, causing Toothless to roll over and quirk his head in her direction.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh. It just seems we lost track of time, is all. I mean, look, it's sunrise already", Raeya pointed out.
Toothless looked towards the sea and his eyes widened when he realized that she was right.
"Well, it looks like I have to get back to Berk", Toothless said, a little disappointed.
"Yeah, I guess I will just wait around for my family or try finding them on my own", Raeya exhaled.
"Leaving so soon, already?", Toothless asked, a little too desperately.
"What? Oh no. I wouldn't do that Toothless. I won't just leave. If I do choose to find them, I would come back and say goodbye", Raeya answered, trying not to upset Toothless.
"Well if you choose to wait here, you could come with me and I can introduce you to all my friends", Toothless responded, hopeful.
"Oh, I don't know about that. What if they don't like me? I mean you are the first dragon to not think of me as a freak", Raeya negated.
"Trust me, they will love you", Toothless beamed.
Raeya looked out towards the sky, then back to Toothless.
"Alright."
"Great! Let's go!", Toothless declared, turning towards the direction of Berk.
Raeya hesitated for a moment, before sighing and following Toothless to the village. She was nervous to say the least. The main thing on her mind was that her plan would still work despite all of this.
