Meg was awaken by distress roars. Luna heard them too and didn't wait for Meg to run toward the sound. The young girl tried to follow and after a few minutes, arrived by Luna side.
The Night Fury had fallen into a cove and he couldn't get out. Meg didn't understand at first until she noticed something that made her angry. The shot from the day before broke his tail. He was missing a tail fin and couldn't fly anymore.

She had no idea how to help the dragon. She bite her nail and thought. She couldn't go back to the sanctuary and bring her mom, the people from the village might find him and kill him. She could stay here to guard the cove but the dragon will die if he stays in the same place forever.

She was lost in her own mind until she heard a click. She crawled carefully toward the edge of the cliff where she was and saw the boy from yesterday, laying on a rock above the cove. She looked at him and groaned, standing. Luna growled so he could notice them. And it worked. The boy panicked and made something fall downward, making the Night Fury lift his head and watching them.

-"I..I'm not here to harm him! I just wanted to observe!", the boy shouted, putting his hands in the hair as a defense.

Meg climbed on Luna and flew to the other side, joining the boy. She climbed off and walked toward the guy, who fall on his butt by trying to walk back. Meg took her sword out and pointed it right onto the guy's throat.

-"If you hurt him, I hurt you.", she said coldly.

The boy swallowed and nodded.
-"If you tell anyone he's here, I'll make you pay.", she said with the same glacial voice.

The boy nodded again.
Meg leaned down to look at the boy's face more attentively. He looked really familiar but was pretty she never met him before. She snorted and climbed on Luna again and left.

It was the day after. Meg and Luna were still guarding the cove. They throw fishes to the black dragon and tried a few times to go see him. But he was really reluctant. Luna approached him, making him understand that everything was okay and they bonded pretty quickly. But he was still groaning at Meg when she tried to feed him.

Meg and Luna went to catch some fish and they were on their way back. They were about to climb down the cove until she saw the same boy again, with the Night Fury looking at what he was doing. She blinked and just observed the scene.

The black dragon then did something unpredictable and started to draw on the dust. The boy walked around the drawing and fall nose to nose with the dragon. Then, something happen that took Meg's breath away.

They bonded.

Meg couldn't sleep that night, thinking about a way to make the dragon fly again on his own. She tried hard to think about something but nothing. Dawn came and that's when she fall asleep. But she couldn't rest for too long cause a strong wind blew on her.
She rubbed her eyes and searched what was that. Luna growled and pointed her snot to the sky. It was the Night Fury. He was flying!

Meg laughed cheerfully and put her first in the air. But something was off. The dragon seemed to have something on his tail. Wait, it was actually a someone!
The dragon came down again in the cove and threw that someone away. But he directly fall in the water after. She looked and saw that boy again. She looked back at the dragon and saw a new fin on his tail. So it was that boy that made it!

Meg for the first time, smiled. Finally a human that was nice with dragons. She decided to spy on that guy and wait for his next actions. And she wasn't disappointed.
Each day, he came back with a new thing with him. Cords, ropes, without forgetting baskets of fish to feed the dragon. One day, he came with a saddle. Another day with pedals. An entire mechanism to make the tail work. Until the day he tried to go for their first flight. That's when she decided to join.

The guy was trying to figure the position of the tail while being on the dragon when Meg appeared on Luna next to him.

-"You're weird for a guy who lives in a village full of dragon killers.", Meg said.

-"Haha... I'm used not to be like them so let's just say I don't care.", he laughed nervously.

-"How are you riding this dragon?", Meg finally asked.

-"Oh! I made a tail but apparently I can't find a way to make it work without a saddle so I guess I'm stuck with Toothless now.", he patted the dragon's head.

-"Toothless?", Meg asked confused.

-"Yeah!", the guy smiled.

-"Hn.", Meg scoffed, "I see you bonded with this dragon. You better not betray him.", Meg warned.

-"I would never. He's my buddy!", the guy said and turned the pedal with his left foot and the tail opened, "Let's go try!", and then both dragon and boy were flying fast near the water.

Meg watched them do it. Luna purred and Meg just shrugged as an answer. They followed the guys but they lost them. They heard an explosion and saw them not so far flying through flames. The girls flew toward them and Meg hold back a laugh when she saw the guy's hair burned.

They landed at the far side of the island and made a small campfire, grilling fish.

-"I'm Hiccup. By the way.", the guy broke the silence, gesturing his hand to her.

Meg blinked and just looked at him. She took his hand and shook it.

Maybe this boy could help her change her mind about people and even maybe help her finally making peace between dragons and humans..
