Hiccup 3rd person P.O.V

Falling off that cliff wasn't one of Hiccup's proudest moments.

Especially since he was flailing his arms and screaming.

As he felt the wind whip through his hair and violently assault his ears, Hiccup was a mix of emotions. He knew that Calypso would probably help him if he were in serious trouble. And he also knew that she was a two faced cod.

As Hiccup watched the waves and the thunderdrums circle beneath him he closed his eyes. Probably a bad move, but whatever.

Hiccup could feel the air on his body even better now as he desperately searched for something inside of him, a spark or a twinge or just something that gave him an idea that he was special. He felt anger and sadness building up. What if he wasn't special? What if it was just a fluke? All Hiccup wanted was his family and his dragon. All he wanted was to be the chief and live the most normal life he could get.

Hiccup opened his eyes and spread his arms out, trying to fall slower. This cliff was high, but Hiccup had already fallen about 3/4 of the way down.

And then suddenly, he was flying. Hiccup was happy for about half a second before he realised that smooth, silver and grey scales underneath him were slowly lifting him up. As Silhouette flapped her wings, she turned her head to look at him, golden eyes shining. She flew higher and higher, leaving Hiccup disappointed and ashamed.

And then finally, they were at cloud level. It was amazing. The sky below was grey and stormy, but above the clouds was the clear blue sky. But slowly, the Fury circled down, back underneath the escapism of the clear sky.

Hiccup sighed. Why couldn't he do it? Why couldn't he fly? He slumped down on the back of the dragon, his face pressed against her neck. Hiccup wasn't holding on, which was certainly easier for Silhouette when she decided to roll over, tipping the former chief off.

'Oohohohoho NO. I am NOT doing this again.' Hiccup thought angrily as he brushed his hair out of his face. He felt a ferocious spike of electricity run down his spine and travel through his limbs. Wherever it touched, something better emerged. Within seconds, his skinny legs and arms became thick, black, powerful dragon limbs. His head flattened and widened until Hiccup could see the scauldrons blending in under the water; waiting to attack the Thuderdrums, and could even hear their calls underwater. Two massive wings shot out from his back.

Of course, the fact that Hiccup, or rather Obsidian was now a Night Fury didn't change that he had no idea how to fly. He desperately tried to turn right ways up, but was left upside down. Obsidian noticed Silhouette staying in the air, her wings pumping as she watched him curiously with those beautiful golden eyes.

Finally, he managed to get back in a better position, thanks to the cliff beside him. Obsidian's wings spread out and moved in erratically. He felt the cold stone scraping on the tip of his wing and tried to move outwards, but failed. The dragon growled as he watched the water getting closer and closer, until finally it enveloped him with a mighty splash.

The silence of water was odd, and it made Obsidian a little disorientated. Until he heard the sounds of the tidal class dragons, swimming towards him. The Night Fury blinked his green eyes at the purple thunderdrum watching him, teeth bared.

Obsidian knew he needed to stay calm. He knew he needed to breathe. But he couldn't underwater; and if he moved this dragon would probably kill him violently. A ticking clock at the back of his head reminded him of how much breath he had left, which was an increasingly lower amount.

Obsidian saw the thunderdrum hiss and open its mouth, no doubt preparing for a kill. The Night Fury opened his wings, and hopelessly tried to swim away. But it seemed as if it were too late for Obsidian, and he knew it too. He said a final prayer to the gods, and said goodbye to the people who he'd loved.

But then a miracle happened. The flowing water currents moved from going horizontally to vertically, pushing Obsidian to the surface in a matter of seconds. But the thunderdrum wasn't letting him go, and had weakly grabbed him by the tail. Without even thinking, Obsidian shot a purple blur at the dragon, stunning it enough to make him let go. As soon as his head surfaced he saw Silhouette, standing at the top of the cliff. He lifted his wings up to the surface of the water, and desperately growled at her.

It was hard to see, but Silhouette flashed a smile. Obsidian wondered what it meant, but dismissed the thought as he felt air bubbles snaking underneath his wings and pushing him up. Within half a minute, the Night Fury was hovering in the air, wings completely still. He looked up at the dragon on the cliff, who gave him an odd gesture that seemed to mean he should flap his wings. Obsidian happily obliged, slightly confused. He started out slowly, but eventually his great, black wings moved in smooth motions, slowly bringing him upwards. He didn't notice that the air keeping him floating had disappeared.

As Obsidian slowly approached the cliff, he noticed Silhouette standing impatiently in her human form. With a final heave of his wings, he collapsed on the cold rock. He felt the same tingling sensation, but didn't really care he was back to human.

"...Hi" Calypso said, offering him a hand. Gratefully, Hiccup took it and stood up. Hiccup was tired, but the adrenaline was overpowering. "Did you see that?! That was awesome!" He shouted excitedly, grinning while he threw his arms in the air. Calypso put a hand to her face, as if tired. She smiled weakly. "Yeah, pretty cool. You still have to practice though." Hiccup waved off her comment. "Yeah, yeah. Did you see the air, near the sea? What in Odin's beard was that?" He said, excited by a new discovery.

"Me." Calypso said, sitting down. "What?" Hiccup asked, looking at her. She looked at him. "Rarely, shifters with royal heritage from Berk and a few other islands will gain...powers, of sorts. Mine is manipulating the elements, fire, earth, wind and water. Remember the sinkhole?" Hiccup stopped, frowning. He sat down next to her quickly. "Does that mean I could have some?" Calypso considered this for a few seconds. "Maybe. You'll have to find out." She said grinning. "You have to shift easily to control it though."

Calypso stood up, and strode to the middle of the rock. Within seconds, she had shifted. She growled, and turned her head towards the edge of the rock in an unmistakeable gesture. "I am not getting thrown off a cliff again." Hiccup said as he stood. He felt his ankle buckle, but quickly righted himself. Hiccup walked near the edge of the cliff and took a deep breath.

Hiccup closed his eyes. "If you can do this, you can keep the peace. You can go home." He muttered under his breath. Closing his eyes, Hiccup tried to call back the electricity from before. And slowly, it came back. When Hiccup il his eyes, he was Obsidian. Excited, he bounded over to Silhouette and spread his mouth out in a toothless smile. Silhouette, however, just shook her wings and promptly dove straight off the windy cliff.

Obsidian ran to the edge as he watched her fall down in a graceful position, and turn a second before hitting the water, letting her glide smoothly and swiftly against the waves and leaving an indent in the waves. But Silhouette quickly flew upwards and within a few seconds she was a few metres away in the air from Obsidian. She smiled in that charming, fury way as she encouraged The Night Fury to try the same move as her.

As soon as Obsidian felt the air fly past his face, his instincts kicked in and he pulled off the swooping turn flawlessly. It was almost exactly like flying with Toothless, but with a few changes and that it was so, so much better in every way. He saw Silhouette glide down to fly alongside him, and for a while everything was nice and quiet.

Exactly how Hiccup wanted it to be.
