A.N: So because of my incompetence and me updating the last chapter a week late you will get this chapter a week after the last chapter was put up. But, after this it will be going back to the fortnightly updates. Anywho as always, I would really like to read your opinions on my story and criticism is welcome, but it must be constructive. So if you say, 'Oh this is Shit.' Ok then you don't like it. Then at least give me some advice on how I can make it better. Now to this chapter.

Over the Skies of Berk… Midnight…

In the midnight air over Berk came the swarm of dragons consisting of Deadly Nadders, Gronkles, Hideous Zipplebacks, a Monstrous Nightmare and a Nightfury.

Over the harbour they flew waiting for the signal to attack.

Finally it came in the form of a Monstrous Nightmare roar.

Everyone then dived into their specified targets. It was a textbook raid. The Zipplebacks scared the sheep and yaks out of the barns, the Nadders then went for the yaks and sheep, the Gronkles went for the drying racks, while Toothless provided covering fire and hit the catapult towers.

Everything was going well casualties were low but then Toothless' friend Stormfly was captured. Toothless heard her scream and panic. This allowed Toothless to regain control of himself from The Queen and he went to go and help Stormfly. But as he was lining up something hit him from out of nowhere. It entangled him, and he couldn't fly anymore, so he fell to the ground. He also felt a sharp pain from around his tail fins.

He crashed into the ground in the forest and was knocked unconscious.

Blair's House, Fjellborg… Early Morning… Blair's Point of View…

I woke with a jump when my father shook my shoulder to wake me up.

I then got up off my bed, grabbed my satchel and Liz's axe. I then went down to the main room and got a quick bite to eat and then I followed my father down to the dock where Liz was already waiting.

I walked up to Liz and handed her axe to her as I said, "Here's your axe. Sharpened just like you asked, and I noticed that the head was a little loose, so I fixed it for you."

"Thanks Blair. Now we best get on the boat before they leave us behind," Liz replied.

"Good idea," I said as I hopped onto the boat.

Once I was on the boat I turned around and helped Liz onto the boat.

"Thanks," Liz said once she was on deck.

"No problem," I replied.

"Cast off," I heard my father say.

"Yes chief," came the reply.

We were now under way three ships on their way to Berk. This was going to be a very boring trip.

Several hours later…

I spent the first several hours of the trip getting some more sleep. When I got up Liz was awake on deck practicing with her axe. I watched her spin and swing her axe around. I watched her practice for half an hour before she noticed that I was watching her. She then straightened a stray hair and took a seat on the deck. I then walked over and sat down next to her and I said, "Your moves are very fluid you go from one swing into the next. That is very difficult to master."

"Thanks," Liz replied.

My dad then walked on deck and said, "Son come here please."

I followed him below deck and he said, "When we get to Berk I need you to keep Hiccup in check and keep him from causing chaos."

I had the feeling I would get this job, so I said, "Yes, dad."

He then left to check on the crew and I went to do some sketches.

4 days later…

Most of the past five days had been spent either sketching or watching Liz train. She knew I was there, but she never questioned it. Now I am fishing with my father and he had looked around and then he said very bluntly, "You like Liz don't you."

"What," I replied, "don't be ridiculous."

"Then how come whenever you're not sketching you're watching Liz train?" He said.

"I figured I could learn some things by watching her," I replied trying to hide my affection for Liz.

"You know I can have it arranged," my father said.

"Yeah but I think she would rather be killed by a dragon first," I said.

"You never know. You never know," he said.

The rest of the time we spent fishing was spent in silence. Neither of us said a word.

The next day…

I woke when something thumped into the ship. I got up and grabbed my dagger and crept to the door of the ship. When I got to the door I found that Liz had followed behind me. I opened the door slowly and quietly and then the ship shook again. Liz and I were thrown to the deck.

As we were getting up I saw my dad running for one side of the ship to the other. When Liz and I were on our feet I walked over to my father and said, "What is happening?"

"Scauldrons are attacking us," he replied.

"What do you want us to do?" Liz asked.

"I want you two to wait below deck," he answered.

"Yes chief," Liz replied.

Liz and I then ran to the door that lead below deck when I saw a scauldron peak its head up over the side of the ship. It was about to shoot its boiling hot water at Liz.

Right as it shot I leapt and pushed Liz and myself to the ground. The water passed over us, but we didn't get out completely unscathed. As I pushed Liz to the ground, her right arm was moved in line with the water and was burnt.

I heard Liz's scream and I got off of her and helped move her below deck. Once I got her into a safe position I ran back above deck dodging boiling water blasts to find my father.

I found him at the rudder shouting out orders. I ran up to him and said, "Dad. Liz. One of her arms was hit by a water blast."

He then handed me a bucket with water in it and said, "Put her arm in this. It will sting a lot, but it should stop permanent damage."

So, I ran back to Liz being careful not to spill the water and when I got to her I realized she had passed out from the pain. So, I gently put her burnt arm into the bucket.

That was when I heard a crunch and a hole in the back of the boat appeared and through the hole came the head of a scauldron.

I realized that there was only one think I could do to save both me and Liz. I would have to communicate with the scauldron. I then moved in between Liz and the scauldron and I said, "Leave us be."

"Who said that," replied the scauldron.

"The boy in front of you," I replied.

"What that is impossible," the scauldron said as it sprayed a blast of water at me.

"Easy calm down," I said, "I wish you no harm."

"Really," The scauldron said.

"Yes," I said, "What is your name?"

The scauldron tilled its head a little confused by the question but it replied, "Scauldy. My name is Scauldy."

"So, Scauldy. Why are you attacking our ships?" I asked and almost immediately regretted.

Scauldy then tilted their head and I said, "Sorry stupid question."

"You think," Scauldy said.

"Well do you think you could stop attacking our ships?" I said.

"Why should we? You and your kind have killed hundreds of our kind," Scauldy said.

"I know," I said, "but I can change things I can show vikings how to coexist with dragons. I just need time… and to not be swimming with the fish."

"How do I know that you won't just teach others how to speak draconic?" Scauldy asked.

"I Blair John Albert Winkler the Second swear that I will not teach anyone else how to speak Draconic," I said, "Not that I could if I wanted to."

"What do you mean you couldn't if you wanted to?" Asked Scauldy.

"I mean I only got the ability to speak draconic through some type of magic," I said, "and I don't even know how to teach someone to speak Draconic. I just say the words and know what they mean."

"Ok I am going to trust you," Scauldy said.

"Thank you," I said, "I know it can't be easy for you to trust me."

"You're right it isn't," Scauldy said.

"You had better leave," I said.

"Yes, you're right. Good luck," said Scauldy, "You're going to need it."

"Thank you, and safe travels," I replied.

Scauldy then swam away and everything went quiet. I went back to Liz and she was still sitting down unconscious with her right arm in the bucket of water. I let out a sigh of relief. Then the ship lurched to the side.

Then it hit me the hole in the ship that Scauldy made was going to sink the ship. I pulled Liz's left arm over my shoulder and supported her with my right arm. I then grabbed the bucket with my left hand and ran above deck. I saw people jumping over the side and landing on one of the other ships that had pulled up beside our ship. At the railing I saw my father helping wounded men onto the other boat.

My father must have seen us because he ran towards us when the ship broke in two sending me and Liz plunging into the icy cold water below.

The moment Liz and I hit the water I focused on keeping Liz afloat. I swam while dragging Liz towards a floating piece of wood I lifted Liz up onto the piece of wood and I then focused on trying to stay afloat.

Then I heard someone yell, "Blair."

"Over here," I yelled into the darkness.

"Hard to port," I heard a voice say.

"There they are," someone yelled.

"Grab the rope," someone else said as they threw a rope towards me.

I considered grabbing the rope but then I thought about Liz, so I said, "What about Liz?"

Then my father jumped into the water and grabbed Liz. He then lifted Liz onto the boat. While he was doing that I climbed onto the boat using the rope.

Once I was on the boat I took a sit on the deck and someone wrapped a blanket around me.

They then sat Liz down next to me and I wrapped the blanket around her as well.

I saw my father haul himself over the side of the ship and he said, "Get us to Berk as fast as possible."

I asked, "How many?"

"How many what?" Someone said.

"How many did we lose?" I said.

"One ship, five dead and eight wounded including Liz," my father said.

I was struggling to keep my eyes open and my dad noticed this and said, "Get them into bed and tend to our wounded."

The moment I hit the bed I fell asleep.

2 days later…

Turns out I was asleep for most of the remainder of the trip.

I awoke to find that Liz had already awoken and was out of bed.

I walked out on deck as we were passing between the two statues on the outskirts of Berk's harbour.

I saw Liz sitting down at the side of the ship looking over her axe.

I walked over to her and sat down beside her, and I said, "How's your arm?"

"It's fine however I won't be able to use it for a while," Liz said.

"Well it's better than being dead," I said.

"True. Also, thanks," Liz said.

"What for?" I asked.

"If it wasn't for you I would have been boiled," Liz said.

"Think nothing of it," I said.

"However, there is one weird thing I can remember," Liz said.

"And what is that," I said hiding my worry.

"I heard what sounded like a hull of a ship being torn open and what sounded like two dragons talking," Liz said.

"Well when I got back to you I saw nothing but a hole in the back of the ship," I said.

"Are you sure I could have sworn the hull was torn open as you were putting my arm into a bucket," Liz said.

"No, I was near the front of the ship below deck looking for anything useful," I said.

Liz was still a little doubtful of what I was saying so I said, "Can we finish this conversation later?"

"Sure," Liz said.

I then went to get my stuff but then I remembered that I had left it all on the ship that sunk.

The ships then pulled into port and waiting on the dock was none other than Stoick the Vast, chief of the Hairy Hooligan tribe and the village of Berk.

The ships came to a stop and the gangplanks were put in place and my father stepped off of the ship and stood face to face.

There was dead silence for about ten seconds before Stoick said, "Welcome back to Berk, Bjorn."

"It's a pleasure to be back," my father replied.

"So, what brings you to Berk's shores?" Asked Stoick.

"We will discuss that in your Great Hall but first where is Gothi? We have wounded that need to be tended to," my father said.

Just then an elderly woman with a staff walked through the crowd and stepped forward.

"Ah there you are Gothi," my father said, "We have multiple different types of wounds. Some have broken bones, but Liz had it worse her arm is severely burnt."

Gothi then scratched some symbols into the ground and a man that looked like Vicktor stepped forward. His name was Gobber and like Vicktor he was the village's blacksmith. Gobber then said, "How did it get burnt?"

"Scauldrons attacked us. Liz would be dead had Blair not pushed her to the ground when he did," my father said.

Gothi then beckoned for all the wounded to follow her and I watched as they walked away.

I then waited for everyone to wonder off and do whatever they were going to do. I then waited for Stoick to be alone and I asked him, "Where is Hiccup?"

"I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you're looking for Hiccup," Stoick said, "You will find him at the blacksmith. You know where it is."

"Thank you Stoick," I said as I walked towards the blacksmith.

I walked in silence thinking about what I would talk to Hiccup about.

When I got to the blacksmith I was about to open the door when I heard someone say, "Hey Blair."

I turned, and I saw Snotlout, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Fishlegs and Astrid standing about ten metres away. So I said, "What can I do for you?"

"We heard about your exploits in the ring. Want to come and train with us?" Fishlegs asked.

"Actually I was hoping to talk to Hiccup for a while," I said.

"Why do you want to talk with 'Useless'? You're part of the cool club now," Snotlout said.

"Because I would rather have one true friend than a whole lot of friends that like me because of things I have done," I said as I walked into the blacksmith.

When I entered I saw Hiccup leaning over a sharpening wheel sharpening a sword.

"Hey Hiccup," I said.

"Hey Blair," Hiccup replied a little depressed.

"I take it you heard my exchange with the others outside," I said.

Hiccup gave a subtle nod.

"Don't listen to them," I said.

"Yeah I know. You have said this all before," Hiccup said.

"Well changing the topic. How have you been since the last time I was here?" I asked.

"I have been fine I shot down a Nightfury a week ago but now one believes me," Hiccup said.

"Did you find where it landed?" I asked.

"Sort of," Hiccup replied, "Look I will show you later but for now I would like your help in sharpening some weapons."

"Sure," I said.

We then got to sharpening weapons and after three hours I thought I should probably go and check up on Liz.

So I said, "Hey Hiccup. I am going to go and check up on Liz before we go and search. Ok."

"Sure. I will finish up here and wait for you near my house," Hiccup said.

"Ok," I said as I started to walk towards Gothi's Hut.

I climbed up the giant hill to Gothi's hut. It was quite the hike but after 10 minutes I was at the top of the hill.

I then knocked on the door to Gothi's hut and the door opened with Gothi and Gobber inside.

"Hi Gobber. Hi Gothi. May I come in?" I said.

Gobber then looked at Gothi who gave a nod and Gobber said, "Of course."

I walked in and asked, "So how is Liz?"

Gothi then drew some symbols into the floor with the bottom of her staff. Gobber then read what they meant, "She is fine. The burn will heal but, it may leave a scar."

"That is a relief," I said, "and what about the others that were injured?"

Gothi scratched some more runes into the ground and Gobber translated them, "They will also be fine."

"Ok thank you. I better get going I said I would meet up with Hiccup outside his house," I said as I was leaving.

Third Person… Gothi's Hut…

As Blair was walking away Gothi scratched more symbols into the floor and Gobber read them.

"You think he did what?" Gobber said.

Gothi then just tapped at the symbols again.

"Ok. Should we tell Stoick and Bjorn?" Gobber said.

Gothi then shook her head and drew some more symbols.

Gobber then read them aloud, "If I am correct then he is the key to ending the Viking-Dragon War."

Gothi then just nodded as they watched Blair hike down the mountain.

Little did they know Liz had overheard what they said, and she was determined to get to the bottom of what it meant.

Outside Hiccup's House… Blair's Point of View…

I saw Hiccup leaning against one of the walls to his house and I said, "You ready to go?"

Hiccup then looked up and said, "Yeah. Follow me."

"Have you seen the Nightfury?" I asked.

"No. I found where it landed but it got away," said Hiccup.

I noticed that Hiccup's voice changed its tone a little as he was saying that telling me that he wasn't telling me the truth.

After ten minutes Hiccup and I were standing in a crater where he said the Nightfury had crash landed. I looked around and I saw what was left of a bola net. On closer observation I noticed that it had been cut.

"This bola net. It has been cut," I said.

Hiccup just said, "That was like that when I got here."

Again I noticed by Hiccup's voice that he was lying.

I then looked around and I saw trees that were bent over almost as if something had bumped off of them.

I said, "That way," as I pointed in the trees that were bent over.

"I already checked that way," Hiccup said clearly worried and nervous.

"It always helps to double check," I said.

I then lead Hiccup in the direction I had pointed and eventually we came to a cove.

I was standing on the edge with steep cliffs down below me. I wondered around the edge of the cove looking for a way down there. Eventually I found it. A little tunnel that lead to the bottom of the cove.

I walked through the tunnel and walked out into the middle of the cove. I then turned to face Hiccup who was looking a bit confused as to what I was doing.

I then said, "You look confused as to what I am doing well you see. You are not the first to have touched a Nightfury and befriended it."

Hiccup then stared at me in shock as I let out a quiet Nightfury call.

After a few seconds a Nightfury came bolting out of his hiding place and looked around for the source of the Nightfury call that it heard.

I then said, "Hello there."

"Who said that?" Asked the Nightfury.

"Me," I said, "The boy in front of you."

"What? No, it couldn't be," The Nightfury said, "Has the prophecy been enacted?"

"What prophecy?" I asked.

"The prophecy that will end the Viking-Dragon War," the Nightfury said.

"What is your name?" I asked.

"My name, my name is Toothless," the Nightfury said.

A.N: Sorry to leave it like that but I reached my word limit for this chapter and this was the best place to leave it. Anywho your opinions and thoughts are welcome now I have to get out of dodge.

Blair: Really another Nightfury.

Sarge: That was always the plan.

Blair: So what else are you planning?

Sarge: I'm not telling.

Blair: Come just a hint.

Sarge: Fine. Depending on how you and Hiccup react will depend on how the events will play out.

Blair: I asked for a hint not a riddle.

Sarge: That is your hint.

Blair: Whatever.

Sarge: I would love to hang around, but I got to go.

Blair: Bye.

Sarge: Till next time Sgt Sniper Man101 out. o7
