Osgar's POV (Yeah, better get used to it...)

"Incredible"

That was the only thought that came to my head as I watched the large creatures come out from the cave they had been locked in. All of the creatures had medium to large sized wings on their back and scales all around their bodies, just like fishes have, the scales on these creatures just looked a lot thicker. Otherwise all of them had very distinctive and unique features.

One of the creatures instantly caught my attention as it was the largest of them all. It had a slim, at least 10 meter body plus the long tail with a huge 30 meter wingspan. Of course This was all guessing but the main point is, the creature was huge! The scales on the creature were bright red and brown except on the side of its belly where they got lighter. All the way across his back traveled a line of long wavy spikes, all the way to the end of it's massive tail. Its legs were no doubt massive with all the muscle in them, not even talking about the muscle in its torso. At the front end of the creature's long neck lied it's large head with large yellow eyes right above its long muzzle. A large pair of horns were also growing out of the back of the creature's head.

The second creature I paid my attention to was a sky-blue one that only stood on two legs. Distinctive things about this creature were multiple white spines growing out of it's tail and a massive head compared to its own body-size. The creature itself wasn't as long as the first one but it look terrifying nevertheless. It's wingspan was about 20-25 meters and it's body with the tail only reached the length of about 10-15 meters so it wasn't really as huge as the red creature. It aslo stood higher than the red dragon that looked more like it was crawling. The blue creature stood up high, looking very noble as it did. This creature also had a line of long, straight spikes growing at the back of its head and also a massive horn on top of its muzzle. This one didn't have any spikes on it's back though.

Next up was a green creature with two, long necked heads. This creature maybe didn't have the wingspan of the red one but its body with the tail was definitely the longest of all the dragons I saw in the arena. The two heads were the smallest of all the dragons but as there were two, that didn't quite matter to me. Both of them also had a medium horn growing on top of them. On the creature's necks there were red, flap-like things that I suppose acted like the ones on the back of the red dragon but didn't look quite as fearsome as they were more dull and short. This creature also had probably the broadest body. It wasn't the thickest, only the broadest. At the end of its body there was a VERY long tail that I noticed also splitting at the end of it, just like its heads.

The last creature I hadn't paid that much attention to as it looked less impressive. It basically just looked like a brown rock or at least a rock-hard potato. It clearly had the most armor on its body and a jaw that looked like it could bite a steel bar in two but otherwise it looked very gentle. Its stubby tail wasn't as noble as the other dragons' but could do its job in smashing things as it was clearly the thickest. This creature was also very chubby, making its appearance seem even less terrifying. The body in all of its parts combined was barely more than 5-6 meters and it only had a wingspan of about the length of its body, maybe a bit longer.

I could only look in awe as the creatures circled around Stoick as I suddenly noticed something. There was one combining feature on all of the dragons:

They all had a saddle on them.

"Meet the Dragons!" Hiccup shouted next to me, spreading his arms a bit as he clearly admired the sight himself. You could still see in his eyes that he had seen it before, there's no doubt in that.

"Dragons?"

"Oh come on! Haven't you SERIOUSLY ever heard about dragons!?" Snotlout exclaimed, his voice getting a slight high pitch to it.

"Nope, never... well, there was this one time when I heard that name but it was in a bedtime story many years ago..." I said, feeling a little embarrassed as I noticed the looks on everyone's faces.

"Listen closely then Osgar. Dragons are the rulers of the skies, reptiles created to bring down the largest of opponents. Most of them breathe fire and some have Venom or other abilities and... Anyway, the main point is, you actually have NEVER heard about them?" Snotlout said again, the first time I actually ever heard him explain anything properly"

"I guess that might just be a good thing. You've never seen a dragon before or even heard about them so you must not be afraid of them, right?" Fishlegs quickly added in, my head turning to him with a questioning look.

"You're right Fishlegs! That IS a good thing! Now it's going to be so much easier for him to get to know them!" Hiccup yelled in excitement. As if I ever went close to those creatures anyway. I may not have heard about them but they look scary alright.

"Guys, uh... I think I might be a little scared. I mean, those guys are pretty huge and..."

"Come on Osgar! They're a lot of fun!" Snotlout shouted again.

"That's right, they're really nothing to be afraid of unless you show any signs of threat to them." Astrid added in, grazing my shoulder quickly as she walked past, heading towards the gate of the arena, soon followed by everyone else except me and Hiccup.

I watched in silence as the teens approached the dragons. It was just as Astrid said, the dragons didn't seem to mind as long as they didn't present any sort of threat with their movements or other gestures. At least it appeared to be so. How in the world do they manage to keep themselves so calm anyway?

"See Osgar, on Berk we've made peace with the dragons. They used to steal food from us and slay our kind just about a year ago." Hiccup explained as I stared at the sight of Astrid approaching the blue dragon, taking its head between her hands. Most of the teens behaved similarly except for Snotlout who just threw himself on the giant red dragon just to be soon thrown off by the beast.

"See that? That dragon is called the Monstrous Nightmare, you know, the one that just threw Snotlout off its back. He's called Hookfang and he's supposed to be Snotlout's dragon but I'm pretty sure they still haven't reached the stage of ultimate bond between them..." Hiccup explained. I could only nod as I heard the name, the creature sure did seem monstrous and exactly like it could be a part of your worst nightmare.

"So what are the other dragons called then?" I asked nervously

"The dragon Astrid is petting now is called a Deadly Nadder. Or, actually the one Astrid is petting is called Sormfly but the race is a Deadly Nadder. Stormfly is Astrid's dragon." Hiccup said. "The green dragon's race is a Hideous Zippleback. I'm pretty sure it's only a single dragon with two heads but as he is Ruff's and Tuff's dragon, they've named each of the heads separately. The left head's name is Barf and the right is Belch. Please don't ask me how they came up with those names... Anyway, the last dragon that looks like a boulder is called Meatlug. Race, Gronckle. I'll maybe explain you something about them later. I'll let Astrid be the judge of that. As I said, she sort of has some trust issues with strangers so I can't say anything unless she agrees." Hiccup shrugged and started walking towards the entrance.

I followed him, stumbling a bit on the first steps because of my state of mind mixed with fright and excitement.

"How come you don't have a dragon?" I questioned as we approached the gate, my state of mind slowly tilting towards pure fright as I slowed down my steps.

"Well, first of all I should ask you a question. What makes you think I don't have a dragon?" Hiccup said and I was too afraid to answer due to the fact that we were indeed stepping in the arena. Oh why in the world did I start following him in the first place?

From the same level as the dragons they looked even more massive, their bodies lifting way above my head on the highest points. I could now see that each one of their claws were thicker than my wrist and looked sharper than any sword I've ever encountered. Not really a soothing observation I'd say.

"Ok guys, this is Osgar. I would really appreciate if you didn't hurt or kill him. He's a friend" Hiccup stated, directing his words straight to the dragons. At this point I sure did hope dragons understood human speech...

All of the dragons growled. I'm not sure if that's a good thing. I'm not really an expert of dragon behavior considering I just met the first ones in my life!

"Aw look, they welcomed you!" Fishlegs yelled, pulling the over-sized potato called Meatlug closer to him.

"Are you sure? I think that sounded more like a "I'm-going-to-rip-you-to-pieces" kind of growl to me" I said hesitantly, taking a few steps back.

"No, That would actually be more like this" Fishlegs said pulling his hands on his mouth, forming a horn and letting out a voice that indeed sounded a lot more mean than the dragon's growl had sounded. "Don't worry, you'll get to know the different voices and gestures of a dragon in no time" Fishlegs waved it off as it was a no-biggie.

"Ok then..." I said, still not daring to lower my arms from a defensive position.

"Ok Osgar, now I think you should... oh" Hiccup said, looking at me or... behind me.

"AH!" All of a sudden I felt something heavy and wet touch the back of my neck. My mind filled with fear and my eyes widened from the surprise. It was a good thing I didn't faint in that spot. I slowly turned around, my eyes meeting with a pair of large green curious ones. I instantly stumbled back and fell to the ground. Luckily my arms stopped the fall but still left me into a semi-helpless position on the ground.

Now I could clearly see the owner of those green eyes. It was a pitch black dragon. The dragon was a a few meters longer than Meatlug with its tail and had a wingspan of about 8 meters. The figure of the dragon looked extremely agile and aerodynamic with its low-profile position and relatively short legs. Its head was sort of flat, making the dragon look extremely streamlined as well. There was one thing that was bothering me though. The left half of the dragon's tail was gone, replaced by a brown and red invention that looked like to be connected to the dragon's saddle.

"Meet the village's only Night Fury, Toothless" Hiccup said and walked to the dragon, "My dragon" he continued proudly, patting the dragon on its neck. The dragon turned to Hiccup, its face forming a position relatively close to a human smile.

"So it doesn't have teeth...?" I asked, slowly getting back on my feet but my heart still pounding nearly 200 strikes a minute.

"Uhh... I thought that at first too but then..."

Toothless turned back to me, opening his mouth just a bit so I could see in his mouth. The dragon indeed only had gums in its mouth, no sign of teeth. "Then what?" I didn't have to wait for the answer for long as a row of razor sharp teeth suddenly appeared in Toothless' mouth, startling me and making me fall back on the ground.

The dragon then let out a series of deep, mocking voices that I understood as the dragon's way of laughing. "Yeah, really funny.. " I muttered, getting up again and suddenly realizing that most of my fear had disappeared. Toothless then walked to me, quickly nudging my right hand with its muzzle which I took as a sign of an apology.

"No problem boy" I said, raising my hand to pet the surprisingly sympathetic dragon but I stopped mid-air as I looked questioningly at Hiccup for a permission. He gave me a small nod and I slowly placed my hand on the dragon's neck, feeling its strong pulse under my hand.

"Wow..."

"Indeed, no-one else has ever made friends with Toothless so quickly!" Hiccup stated, looking at me with a slightly surprised look.

"That's maybe because I'm from a fisherman village. Maybe I smell like fish" I replied and turned around, just to see the other dragons nearing me with their trainers.

"I don't think that's it. You see, we washed you and changed your clothes when you were still unconscious" Fishlegs said from the side of the Meatball.. I mean, Meatlug. Ugh, why can't I shake off the image of a potato from my head!

Just then I realized what Fishlegs had said: I wasn't wearing the same clothes as I remembered wearing like.. ever. How strange that you could leave such an obvious thing unnoticed. Oh well, the whole day has been pretty much a shock so it's no wonder.

"The dragons seem to like you. You're lucky. We had to go through a lot of training before they could trust us on any level" Astrid said, the rest of the teens agreeing with a few nods.

All of a sudden, Hookfang let out a high growl, his whole body bursting into flames. The thing surprised me for like, the fifth time of the day, making me stumble back again just to be caught by Toothless. All of the teens started laughing at me and the dragons soon joined with their distinctive way. I felt embarrassed but at the same time a relaxing wave spread all across my body, making me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

I started laughing as well and joined the choir of voices that consisted of men and dragons. A voice only to be heard on the island of Berk.

I think I might just like it on this island

HAA! What do you think? I REALLY hope I've got at least some of their personalities right. I'm just so happy I could finally include the dragons in this story!

So, the next chapter will be something where the fun begins. I'll give you a clue: the next chapter will most likely have a Mildew, a few fishes and a catapult. That should keep you thinking xD

Please REVIEW, and as always, thanks for watc... (blaah, no Vsauce today folks!)

P.S. If you happened to miss my A/N at the top, please go vote on my poll, it would really help me :) But only after you've written a quick review!

P.S.S SORRY for all of you diehard Meatlug fans for "insulting him" I really do like her, I just thought to add some small humor into this story and the potato reference was a pure accident! I promise!
