MarauderPrime12: Thank you. I always try to be as good and faithful as possible while describing something

mc arno: Let's not talk about a romance yet. There still is the matter of Elsa telling him about her powers, not to mention her parents finding out about him (or not. Who knows?).

Noctus Fury: Sorry for the wait. Things got sidetracked... Anyway, I hope that this chapter mends your heart a bit (or maybe it won't?)

Dream Dragoness: Maybe your prays will finally be answered on this chapter. I hope you enjoy

Without further ado:

Before Elsa could think of anything, wing flaps were heard. Elsa's heartbeat quickened as there was only one possible explanation to that noise. Her body froze on spot, and she felt like she couldn't do anything, as the scene transpired before her.

Coming through the window and slowly landing in the tower was another dragon, no bigger than Toothless. The first thing she noticed, was the cloud white scales that seemed to shine even with the faint light of the moon, and the second was that it had two sets of wings, rather than one. His eyes were completely focused on Hiccup's, and she noticed the confident pose the boy had as he handled the creature.

Once the panic died away, she took in more of his appearance. Since he was all white, it was easier to see his outline in the dark than, in comparison to Toothless'. She noticed its head was very similar to Toothless', only slightly longer. His back legs were bigger than the front ones, and it also had only 4 earplates, instead of eight like the black dragon.

But what shocked her more was when those dragon eyes bored on hers. His sapphire blue eyes looked deeply on her, and she felt exposed, as if the dragon could see directly into her soul, seeing every single turmoil inside her, and the most deeply buried secrets.

Hiccup watched the scene for a while, before frantically running between them. "Noo, don't do that! You'll scare her," he spoke panicked at the dragon. Elsa snapped out of her trance, while the dragon's eyes shifted from her to Hiccup's.

"Let me introduce you first. Warm her up. She's not as tough as a Viking, and you know how they reacted to this," he explained to the dragon. What amused her mostly was that it looked like he actually held a conversation with the dragon. The interaction was very different of his with Toothless. It was almost like he was talking to another human.

He pressed both his hands on the dragon's face, and they looked at each other's eyes. It seemed that a conversation of sorts was occurring between them. He left both his hands drop from the dragon's face and slowly went to his side.

"Elsa, may I present you Windwalker," he gestured to the dragon while looking at her. He turned to the dragon. "Windwalker, this is princess Elsa of Arendelle. We've been meeting ever since the crash and she has been a great friend to me," he explained to the dragon.

Elsa smiled, feeling a bit warm on the inside. Sure, she had thought about him being a friend to her, but it felt so good, almost foreign to her, to hear he speak it aloud. She still felt uneasy about the dragon, as the very air around him seemed to transpire a uniqueness, very different from Toothless. Since she only knew two dragons, she didn't know if it was characteristic of him, or if every dragon transpired a different, unique air.

He turned to look at her, "Elsa, he's been our companion, and friend, ever since I left Berk. In fact, I freed him from our arena before leaving." He took a deep breath, as if what he was about to say was of great importance, Elsa observed. She put aside her fears, seeing that neither was he leaving, or endangering her, so she could give him proper attention.

"He's a different dragon, from every other. Back at Berk, he was called a deceptive dragon because of his uniqueness," he explained slowly, using the same gentle tone he used moments ago to calm her. It didn't work much, as she was on edge at hearing he was called deceptive, but then again, the Vikings didn't seem to be very reasonable either.

"He's a White Fury, and close relative of Toothless too," he said, and Elsa gasped. Both her hands went to her mouth to hide her gasp, although everyone in the tower heard about it. The idea that, not only Hiccup had two dragons as a friend, but they were also relatives, was already hard to grasp. And considering Hiccup was almost like a brother to Toothless and vice versa was too much to settle inside her head.

She felt the world spin around, and one of her hands flew to the wall so she could lean on it as she swayed slightly. "Elsa, are you okay?" Hiccup voiced his question, full of concern.

She closed her eyes for a moment and pinched the bridge of her nose as a small headache formed inside her head. It was only seconds later that she opened her eyes again. She sighed, feeling a lot better once the world stopped spinning around. "I'm fine Hiccup. It's just that it was too much to absorb in such small time," she explained. Hiccup didn't approach her, remembering what happened before he flied to bring Windwalker.

"If you say so…" he conceded hesitantly. "Can I continue the introduction, or do you want to go walk for a while?" he asked. He had seen some of the teens freak out and panic when they met him during Dragon Training. For some reason, he had been the only one that didn't go crazy. And maybe it was this that made Windwalker hear him out…

"It's okay, you can continue. But if I may, I think I'll be sitting by now," she said as she sat on the stone floor. Her head rested against the wall, and her body relaxed. Seeing her relaxed postured eased Hiccup's own posture. While Windwalker didn't establish a link with her, she seemed to be taking his presence rather well.

"Okay, so as I was saying, he's different from the other dragons. Much like I was from my own tribe," he explained, and immediately Elsa understood why he freed him so Windwalker could travel with them.

"He…he can tap into someone else's mind. He can reach out our deepest fears, and look into our very soul and use that to weaken our mind should he be engaged in combat with us. When outside of the battlefield, like now, he can reach out to communicate with others, without actually speaking, or using a better term, growling," he added. He cursed himself as he involuntarily explained the use of his mind abilities in combat, which probably set the princess off.

She had almost ran in fear as soon as Hiccup spoke about reaching out our inner fears, but as he finished explaining her fears eased a bit, and his relaxed stance near the dragon assured her that he wouldn't do that. It also explained to Elsa why they seemed to hold a conversation moments before, mainly because they actually held one.

"He's even a sort of mentor to me sometimes, as he helped me figure a couple of things out, mainly leaving the Archipelago so we wouldn't be hunted by Vikings. Another thing that sets him apart from most dragons is that he breathes ice instead of fire," he explained as Windwalker and Toothless breathed on the wall. Toothless marked a scorch from his blue flame, while Windwalker left a trail of ice impaled at the wall.

Elsa was astonished. She thought all dragons could flame, even though Hiccup explained there were some that could split boiling water or concussion waves. But she never imagined that she would find another creature that was ice-born. Maybe he can't control ice and snow like she does, but he certainly is deemed to live at locations with those as a common background.

As Elsa marveled the dragon, Windwalker turned to look at Hiccup. 'Hiccup, I believe she is an elemental wielder,' he stated quietly, enough for only the boy to hear him. Hiccup didn't voice his question, fearing that the princess would get suspicious, but his confused look did the job.

'An elemental wielder is a creature who possesses control around one of the elements. Most of the dragons control fire, although with slight differences. Thunderdrums control the air, allowing them to build their concussion waves. Changewings control acid, Scauldrons and I control the water, although with differences. They boil it, while I freeze it. And at last, the Skrill control lightning. There more other couple of elements, but that's irrelevant for now,' he explained minutely to Hiccup.

He absorbed all the information Windwalker gave him, but it still didn't answer why the dragon said that to him. As if Windwalker was reading his mind-which was quite possible at this point, since they had a very strong connection-he answered out.

'I could sense, in the brief look I had at her, the same element inside me, though a lot stronger,' he explained. He paused for a second, as if considering something. 'Did you know about that?' Hiccup subtly shook his head so Elsa wouldn't get suspicious that Windwalker was talking to him, 'I see… she's probably afraid of letting people know, fearing they would look at her just like the dragons looked at me, and your tribe at you…' he trailed off, as an understanding passed between them. They just found another outcast. In Hiccup's mind that easily explained why she was afraid of being approached by him.

He turned to look at her, which was looking at them as if waiting for them to finish their private conversation. He decided to explain why he hid the ice dragon away.

"So, I think you want to know why I didn't tell you about him before…" Elsa nodded, and Hiccup kept the pause to formulate his speech. "Well. At first I didn't trust you, so I kept him in case things went wrong. That way Toothless and I wouldn't be at great danger. Then when I trusted you, I noticed you never made a move to approach us," he explained while pacing around, waving his arms like he usually does.

"But then when you started talking about your drawings, I changed my mind. I thought you were afraid of approaching me because of Toothless. Therefore, I let some times pass until you got used to him. I deemed that a month should have been enough, though now I see it wasn't because of him that you showed such behaviour."

Elsa breath was caught in her throat at his pause. She was afraid that he would voice out the question she never wanted to hear. The question her sister would ask almost six years later…

Hiccup breathed deeply. He was trying to figure a way of asking what she was afraid without being direct. If Windwalker was right, being direct would only make things worse… after a couple of seconds of a suffocating silence lingering in the air, Hiccup spoke again.

"So, that's it. I have no more secrets to tell you, or anything else to hide. But… could you do the same for me? For our friendship?" he asked softly, although his eyes were almost begging that she would do so. In fact, she was quite relieved he didn't ask exactly like she imagined, though it still made her nervous the question.

She decided to breathe deeply, so she would remain calm and composed. "Well… I guess it's only fair. Not because you've told me everything, but also because I mistreated you earlier," she reasoned, more to herself than to him. Hiccup sat, waiting for her to speak, while Windwalker walked near Toothless and lay beside him.

"I guess I should start by my secrets first. Since you already know about most of my habits…" she said, surprisingly maintain an even voice. Hiccup didn't mind, and he didn't press on so she would stop procrastinating.

"The reason I've acted like I did before, and why I'm so distant to people is because…" she breathed deeply, reading herself for whatever would be his reaction.

"It's because I have ice powers…"
