Link

"Where have you been?" Zelda yelled as Reaper landed in the castle courtyard.

"I had a meeting with Sidon," Link lied. "I was going to tell you, but I forgot about it and had to leave immediately."

Zelda rolled her eyes. "I'm just glad you're safe. And don't forget next time."

"I won't," Link promised. "But, can we visit Berk tomorrow? It's been so long since we've seen Hiccup and Astrid."

"I think I'm free tomorrow," Zelda said, "but let me check."

Link nodded. "Great. I've been hearing reports of some Bokoblins near Lurelin Village, so I'm going to get that taken care of."

"Okay," Zelda replied, smiling. "Be safe."

"I will," Link promised. He walked over to Reaper, climbed onto the dragon's back, and saluted his beloved before flying off.

That night, Link landed back in the castle courtyard without so much as a scratch. Zelda ran out to meet him. "How did it go?" she asked.

"Good," Link replied. "Took care of our little monster problem."

Zelda smiled, "They never stood a chance against you."

Link laughed. "So, are we going to visit the Dragon Riders tomorrow?"

"Yes. I checked my schedules, and I have no meetings tomorrow," Zelda answered.

"Finally. You've been having meetings every day this week," Link said.

Zelda sighed. "I know. Rebuilding a kingdom is no small task."

"If anyone can do it, you can," Link said.

"Only with your help," Zelda said. "Let's get some sleep."

Link nodded. "Great idea. See you in the morning, princess."

The next day, Link woke up early. He couldn't wait to get Zelda that Razorwhip. She was going to love it. The hero went ahead and made his princess breakfast while she slept, since he was too excited to go back to bed anyway.

Zelda came downstairs just as Link finished setting the table. She smiled as she saw what he had done. "Thanks, Link," she said.

"No problem, princess," Link replied as he sat down. "I'll be doing it again tomorrow for your birthday."

Zelda smiled again. "I can't wait."

They ate breakfast quietly. The only conversation was about the castle's restoration, or something like that. After they finished, they both mounted Reaper and began the long day's flight to Berk. Zelda hugged Link's torso the entire way, still unused to the ridiculous aerial tricks Reaper loved to perform. Link's playful scolding only made the dragon want to do more crazy tricks.

Finally, the distant island of Berk could be seen. Zelda marveled at the unique architecture the Vikings used. Almost every building had some sort of wooden dragon head attached to it. All buildings were wooden themselves. But the most interesting thing about the town was how many dragons there were. There were dragons on top of the buildings, walking the streets, in the houses, and everywhere else. They were obviously tame, otherwise the entire city would be on fire.

"This is amazing," Zelda said in awe.

"I know, right?" Link replied.

Link directed Reaper right towards Hiccup's house. Just as he was about to open the door, Zelda asked, "Who's house is that?"

"Hiccup's. Why?" Link answered, cocking his head.

"How do you know where his house is?" Zelda questioned.

"Uh...he told me when we were at the Edge," Link lied.

"Okay," Zelda said, satisfied with Link's answer. Link breathed a silent sigh of relief.

Link opened the door, and found Hiccup laying on the floor, attempting to do push-ups. His father was watching him, a look of disdain glued onto his face. Hiccup noticed Link and Zelda, and completely collapsed. His father looked towards the door.

"Um, have we come at a bad time?" Link asked.

"No, no," Hiccup's father said, replacing his scowl with a jovial smile. "We were just about done." Stoick left the room, heading upstairs. Link couldn't tell if he was still upset at Hiccup for whatever reason, but he was happy he had gotten his friend a break. Hiccup got up from the floor.

"How's chief training going?" Link asked.

"Okay, I guess," Hiccup replied. "I keep finding more and more ways to disappoint my dad."

"It'll get better," Link said. "I'm sure you'll figure it out."

Hiccup nodded, but said nothing more.

"So," Zelda began, breaking the awkward silence, "what are we going to do today?"

Hiccup and Link smiled at each other. "How would you like to get an early birthday present?" Link asked.

"Really?" Zelda asked, excited. It had been 100 years since she'd received anything for her birthday.

"Really," Link replied.

Zelda beamed. "I'd love that!"

"Alright, great," Hiccup said. "Mount your dragon and we'll take you there."

Link and Zelda clambered onto Reaper's back and Hiccup climbed onto Toothless. Hiccup took the lead, and Toothless flew the path he had the day before. They flew for a while, until they arrived at the spot they had seen the Razorwhip before. Luckily enough, the beautiful silver dragon was still there.

"That's your present," Link said, pointing at the dragon.

Zelda gasped. "She's beautiful!"

"You have to tame her first," Hiccup said, "let me give you some tips."

"Okay," Zelda said, nodding.

"First, do you have any knives or sharp weapons in your clothes?" Hiccup asked.

Zelda shook her head. "I have no need when Link and the Master Sword are always there to protect me."

"Good. Second, approach it head first. You don't want to startle it from behind. In order to make it trust you, I always close my eyes and reach my hand straight out. If the dragon puts her head in your hand, she trusts you," Hiccup explained.

"And if she doesn't?" Zelda asked, nervously.

"I'll be watching you from up here. You won't get hurt," Link promised.

"You don't have to if you don't want to," Hiccup said.

Zelda shook her head. "I want to."

Reaper landed a little ways away from the Razorwhip, and Zelda dismounted. Link flew back up over the dragon, watching Zelda carefully. She quietly approached the dragon. The dragon watched her warily, standing completely still, allowing Zelda to get close to it. Zelda stopped a few feet away, closed her eyes, and pushed her hand out in front of her head. Link tensed, ready to rescue Zelda from the slightest indication of danger. The dragon simply stared at Zelda's hand, it's brilliant green eyes staring intently at it, searching for any hidden weapon. After deciding Zelda's hand held no weapon, the scrutinizing green eyes carefully examined the princess herself. The eyes scanned Zelda, taking in everything about her. Link watched the Razorwhip just as carefully, making sure it didn't intend to attack his beloved.

Finally, after an eternity of staring, the emerald eyes of the dragon closed, and it pressed its sleek, cold, metallic head into Zelda's hand. Zelda gasped, not expecting the cool texture of the dragon's scales. Zelda slowly opened her eyes, as did the Razorwhip. The dragon slowly backed up, and bowed its head. Zelda stroked the dragon's scales gently. The princess smiled. She circled around the dragon, and climbed onto its back. It didn't seem to mind. It flew up, flying past both Link and Hiccup.

"Wow," Hiccup said, watching as the dragon breezed passed them. "It usually takes longer than that."

"Zelda's always been good at catching animals," Link replied. "She caught a frog once. Then she made me eat it."

Hiccup looked at Link like he was crazy. "Did you eat it?"

"Well, I didn't want to, but what was I supposed to do? You can't exactly say 'no' to the princess of your country," Link answered.

Hiccup laughed. "So you ate it?"

"Yep," Link said. "I ate a frog. She did cook it first though, and it tasted like Cucco."

"Cucco?" Hiccup repeated.

"Yeah, they're like what you call chickens," Link explained.

Just then, Zelda and her Razorwhip circled back around, headed for the two boys. Zelda was gripping the dragon's neck tightly, and the Razorwhip appeared to be listening to her commands. The duo flew up to Link and Hiccup, and Zelda commanded the dragon to stop.

"I did it!" she cried happily. "I have a dragon!"

"So, do you like your early birthday present?" Link asked eagerly. It was the first gift he had given her in 100 years. He wanted her to like it.

"I love her!" Zelda exclaimed. "Although technically, I did all the work."

"No," Link retorted, playfully. "Yesterday, Hiccup and I went out and found this guy."

"So your meeting with Sidon was a lie?" Zelda asked.

"Yes," Link answered.

"You naughty boy," Zelda scolded, laughing.

"What are you going to name her?" Hiccup asked.

"I don't know," Zelda said thoughtfully. "I'll have to make sure she likes it before I choose."

Link nodded. "Yeah. That's what I did with Reaper."

"How about Gloria?" Zelda suggested. The Razorwhip shook its head. "Peacebringer?" The dragon rejected it again. "Athena?" Zelda's dragon cocked its head, considering the name. Then she nodded. Zelda wrapped her arms around Athena's neck, and laughed.

Hiccup, Link, and Zelda flew back to Berk. Astrid was waiting at Hiccup's house as when they landed. She approached the trio, and walked up to Link.

"Link, before you go, do you mind doing some training?" she asked, as they all dismounted.

"Sure," Link replied. "Where will we train?"

"We have this huge arena created specifically for that," Astrid replied.

Link nodded, and climbed back onto Reaper's back. "Lead the way." Astrid mounted Stormfly, and took off, Link following behind.
