Hiccup - 1st person POV.

"Yeah right. Pray, do tell which dragon?" I asked sarcastically, feeling a little braver. She answered my question with another. "Looking at you, I'd say a terrible terror." She smirked, roughly sitting down with her back to a tree. I stayed standing in the middle of the clearing, annoyed.

"Ha, ha. Tell me, when did you lose your sanity?" She rolled her eyes, and then spoke. "I'm telling the truth. Trust me, you don't want me to prove you can." She put her hand over her eyes as she spoke in a frustrated gesture, not stopping for a second. "You're one of the more annoying people I've been put in charge of."

"What high praise." I looked at my hands, still not believing her. "I strive to be as annoying as possible. It helps crazy criminals to let me go faster." My voice rose on the last part, and I hoped she didn't notice.

It was right after that statement that she looked me in the eyes for the first time. "So, you think I'm insane." With deadly accuracy, she loosened her hand and threw a small, red plant at me. It was shaped perfectly circular. I caught it in my hand. "Honestly, what did you think a small plant would do? I survived losing a leg, if you thin-"

The change was instantaneous, and I didn't finish my sentence. One minute I was scolding this woman, and the next I was in a different body. It was a strange sensation, not pleasant but not painful. I felt as if I were too big and I had too many parts. I turned around to see intimidating black wings and a long tail. I tried to speak, but words failed me. All that came out was growling. I looked around for the stupid girl, wondering what voodoo she had done to me, and saw her laying on the ground, laughing.

Hiccup - Third Person POV.

Hiccup tried to say stop laughing, but it came out as a menacing rumble. Her laughter slowed, and she stood up. "You should have seen your face!" she barked, her smooth voice saying the words like a river on a stone. "Haven't had that much fun in a while. That's a scale lily. We use them to speed up the shifting progress for new shifters." Hiccup made an angry, but inquisitive noise. "Right now, you can understand me, right?" she asked, looking at her nails. Hiccup nodded. "Great. And how do you like being a Fury?" she said, barely concealing her laughter.

Hiccup pushed her over with what used to be his hand. He hadn't realised he was a Night Fury, but looking at it now it made sense. "You want a mirror? I got to admit, you look pretty cool." She didn't wait for an answer as she fished a reflective piece of something out of her pocket. As she looked, she spoke. "Now I can confirm you're a shifter, which I knew anyway, I can tell you my name." She put the mirror like object facing towards him. "I'm Calypso. Not Cal. Calypso."

Hiccup admired his new form in the mirror, still wondering if this was a prank. He looked identical to Toothless, apart from Hiccup's full tail and his slightly darker eyes. A sob built in his throat, but he swallowed it. Calypso put the mirror away, but Hiccup was still staring at the place where it had been. "We need a new name for you. Hiccup doesn't exactly scream dragon-like, although if you're fond of it you can keep it as your human name." The former chief hopelessly attempted to contact her, but she couldn't understand

"Listen, I'm going to make this easier for you. Just don't start freaking out, okay?" Hiccup nodded. With a small hand gesture, Calypso performed a weird, graceful move that angled downwards. Hiccup's new sharp eyes (Did the world always move this fast?) couldn't track the moment when she emerged as the grey-silver dragon from before.

"Hiccup freaked out. His eyes turned to slits, and his teeth shot out. What an odd feeling. He stepped forward, remembering the dragon that condemned him to this life of a dragon. She looked a little ashamed but spread her leaf shaped wings in a submissive gesture. Hiccup found with a shock that he could understand her next words

"Hi. It's me." She said as he growled. Anyone watching would have thought that this was fight between a Night fury and another, odd coloured Night fury. "Why did you do this?" Hiccup hissed, his voice a world of hurt. She sighed and sat.

"It was an accident, okay? Sort of, anyway. To a human, my teeth in this form are filled with a venom, of sorts. If it's introduced to the bloodstream, it activates possible dragon heritage and removes all flaws. I was getting you out from my sinkhole when I saw prey. Our tribe is low on that at the moment, and my instincts kicked in and my teeth shot out. I thought you wouldn't have any heritage, and even if you did, that the tribe members were low."

"That's an excuse and a half." Hiccup said, a million questions racing through his head. Only one came to mind. "Your sinkhole?" he said, unsure if she had made a mistake. She rolled her eyes. The communication method wasn't exactly talking, more a series of growls that the other could understand. "That's the question you ask? They're going to teach you this stuff at the base. Follow m-" Hiccup interrupted her.

"WAIT. What makes you think that I want to spend another second near you?" Calypso got up, and bared her teeth. "Scale lilies will keep you in dragon form for as long as the dose was. I gave you a small dose which means you are stuck like this for the next 48 hours. I wouldn't recommend going back to your pathetic house, unless you want to be sent to the Hidden World." She hissed the last sentence, and spread her wings farther out.

"Trust me, It's been terrible for those non-shifters." And with that, she spread her wings and flew into the night sky, leaving Hiccup.
