Toothless let out a solemn rumble as Hiccup paced the floor for the thousandth time. He had been tense for hours now. Toothless knew why, the girl. Hiccup had sentenced her to be exiled. Toothless knew this was an awful fate and that Hiccup would not be happy with his choice, but Hiccup could not have sentenced her to death or allowed her to stay either. Toothless might have wondered why Hiccup simply didn't send her back to the place she'd come from, if he hadn't seen the scars on her back, if he hadn't known who they'd be sending her back to.

In the end, exile had been the kindest option. Sending her away might give her a chance, however small, to escape the abusive life she had led so far. But she was only a child. She would not last long out there, Toothless knew it and so did Hiccup. She might be strong, she might be a fighter, but underneath it all, she was a scared child who had nothing. No one to love her, no one to care if she died. No one to protect her from the suffering she had endured. No one to tell Hiccup to stop, to let her go. No one willing to die to save her. Toothless knew what it felt like to be loved that much, and to love someone that much in return. Hiccup would die for him, and he would die for Hiccup. They would both willingly die to protect those they loved, like Astrid, Finn, Stormfly... Toothless thought it was a terrible thing that Camicazi did not know what it was to be loved that much. But it seemed, as he watched Hiccup mumble to himself, hammering molten metal into new shapes in the forge in his frustration, that she knew what it was to love something so much you would die for it. And Toothless knew that it was this fact, as much as any other, that was causing Hiccup to struggle with his choice so much. She had been willing to be hit, abused, to kill or be killed to protect a dragon. All for the love of a dragon. She loved it more than anything, that much was clear, Toothless knew Hiccup could relate to this, and he had watched the last few hours as Hiccup argued with himself about his choice of banishment. Knowing he was sentencing not only Camicazi to her likely death, but also the dragon she was dying, quite literally, to save. Toothless began to pace himself. Hiccup was very distracted and so Toothless wandered down to the cells. He just wanted to see her, to check if she was ok. Threat to his family or not, there was something in her he knew innately. All the older dragons here knew it. Stormfly, Sharpshot and Stealth, Thornado and Cloudjumper... Even Hookfang, Barf and Belch and Meatlug knew it. All day they had been sneaking down to the cells to peek at her, to see if she was alright. Hookfang had been able to watch her most as his human Snotlout was guarding her for large parts of the day. Toothless slipped in under the darkness and let out a very low rumble from the pit of his stomach, one the dragons often used to call to their young. Stormfly responded and slipped out from the hiding spot and greeted him affectionately. She gave a small rumble of sadness; the girl was struggling though she refused to show it. She was unhappy and scared. Toothless nuzzled Stormfly's head and slipped into the space she had vacated to watch over her for a while. Stormfly flew off to find her human.

Sure enough, there was Camicazi; she sat huddled against the wall, clutching her knees. The guards were not paying her any attention; they stood together laughing and talking. Toothless settled himself down more comfortably to watch her when his ears pricked up. He could hear something, something other than the guards. He turned and looked at Camicazi again, she was singing to herself.

"Don't be afraid little child of mine,

Everything is going to be alright,

I stand here beside you and here I'll stay,

To keep the darkness all at bay,

Don't cry little child tonight,

I will always be here by your side,

I won't let them hurt you; you know it's true,

I will protect you from all they do,

Don't be afraid little child of mine,

I'll be here to save you from the fight,

I'll use my fire they'll hear me roar,

They will not hurt you anymore,

And if they take me away my dear,

Remember I'll always be right here,

Don't cry for me little child of mine,

I will never leave your little side,

Just be strong my child,

Don't be afraid,

I will be back again someday,

Fly on the wind and fly away,

I will be with you all the way,

Don't be afraid and don't you cry,

I promise to never leave your side." She whispered to herself through silent tears, she kept her head low staring down at her knees. Toothless felt his heart strings pull. That was a Dragon lullaby. He had heard it when he was a tiny baby in the nest, he and Stormfly sang it to her hatchlings every year. No human, not even Dragon Whisperer's like Hiccup knew that song. They knew dragonsong, but not the lullaby. The only way she could know that... was if a dragon had sung it her. Toothless watched in pain as she sang it over and over again to herself, as if trying to take comfort from it. When she finally fell silent and her hushed sobs were all he could hear, Toothless sang it himself. He let it rumble out of his throat and he sang to her. Her head rose slightly and she gasped as she heard it. He did not show himself, but he knew that she knew he was there now. Hookfang joined him from outside the cell where he was guarding, and slowly, the dragons all over Berk began to sing it. Some for the first time, like the young dragons that belonged to Finn and his friends. They had only ever been sung it, they had never sung the words themselves. But just as all the dragons had gathered around her when she sang dragonsong when she first arrived, they all joined together to sing the lullaby to her, from wherever they were. The night air carried the hauntingly beautiful lullaby of the dragons and every human around could feel it, a chill down there spine but a warmth in their heart. The song was carried out to the Berserker ships anchored off shore and even they felt it go through them, but it made most of them feel fearful. But somewhere on that ship was a dragon, and he heard the song and sang it back, hoping in vain that it would make it back to Berk, and back to his human who he felt sure had started the dragons singing at last.

Toothless could hear the song echoing all around the island, each dragon singing it to another, to the sky. He could hear a dragon further away, off shore somewhere singing it too. He wondered if this was Camicazi's dragon. Was it there on the ships? He turned back to Camicazi and heard her add her own lines to the lullaby.

"I'm sorry my Sparky that I failed you,

I tried so hard to fight you know it's true,

In my dreams we'll fly for ever more,

Across a great blue sky we would soar,

Sparky my darling I'm so sorry,

That such dreams will never be,

I know in life I won't see you again,

Maybe I'll see you when we're dead,

I pray to the Gods to free you now,

I hope you survive and flee to the clouds,

I'm sorry I failed you

This is true,

Just know that I will always love you..." She choked on her words and cried more into her arms. Toothless could take it no more. He fled from where he hid and saw all the dragons in the close area do the same. None of them could bear to stay there and hear her tragic song. It hurt Toothless' heart to hear it, she so desperately wanted to save that dragon, she didn't even care that she was going to die. Just that he survived. Toothless flew straight back to Hiccup's side, rumbling a saddened sound that Hiccup knew and pressing his head close to Hiccup, needing to feel his affection, needing to be held.

"What's the matter bud? You ok?" Hiccup said holding Toothless and stroking his head. Toothless rumbled distressed but calmed in Hiccup's arms. All around Berk other dragon's were doing the same, her song had carried as theirs had, as the dragonsong had. Stormfly stopped hunting fish and flew to Astrid's side, nuzzling her and making the same distressed sound the wild dragons around them were making. Hookfang flew to Snotlout, Barf and Belch tried to pull themselves apart to reach the twins and instead made a racket until they came to them. Stealth flew from the Haddock house to Astrid whilst Sharpshot soared up Hiccup's shirt. Cloudjumper began crying distressed and stayed close to Valka, Thornado let out a booming cry and sought out Stoick. Every dragon, Finn's included sought comfort beside their human as the words of Camicazi echoed in their heads. But Sparky struggled and struggled against his harness but could not get free. Could not reach Camicazi and so she stayed alone in her cell, crying quiet tears that silently screamed. But it seemed only the dragons could hear the silent screaming. The night was long and torturous as each dragon tried unsuccessfully not to hear her cries.
