Unseen Ch 5 A Life Remembered

The celebration ended in the early hours of the morning, toothless along with an escort detail had guided the 'guests' to the edge of the light fairy territory watching everyone for any suspicious moves, though he technically lead the escort he stuck to the shadows out of sight, and let his second a funny little spirit with a mean temper and no patience for nonsense guide the visiting spirits and faeries. Once they were gone Toothless posted the escorts along the territory line to guard it so non of their guests got it into their heads to return, the light faeries had had trouble in the past with dark faeries that would return after a celebration and take off with a fairy or spirit child. Toothless knew all too well what happened to the children that were stolen away, the problem hadn't stopped but the incidents had decreased since Toothless had joined and made the warriors aware of the dark fairy and spirit tricks. He shuddered slightly as he made his way back towards home. As he walked he thought about how much his life had changed.

Growing up he lived not with the dark or light faeries and spirits but with just his mother, father, and older brother. They lived in a simple home in a hillside next to where his father and mother crafted swords and other weapons for both light and dark faeries and spirits alike, they always treated both sides with respect and courtesy and would forage any weapon that was asked with great skill and cunning. His childhood days were filled with fights with his brother, working with his parents in the forge, and running wild in the woods that separated the light and dark faeries and spirits. When he was young he asked his father why they didn't live in one of the courts either the light or the dark his father laughed long and hard making Toothless feel silly for asking the question in the first place he stammered out that he was sorry for asking something so stupid and made to leave when his father caught his hand and told him that the question wasn't stupid he said the reason he had laughed was he had never to hear such an intelligent question fall from a child's mouth, he explained that he and his wife had decided early on in life that they wanted nothing to do with the petty squabbles that went on between the light and dark courts and if either wanted a weapon they knew where to find them. It was a few years later that his parents presented Toothless with something that he had never thought he would receive it was a sword made just for him with all the skills his parents possessed it was a little big and long and he could not easily lift it but his father told him it was perfectly made for when Toothless would be fully grown. The blade was completely black just like he was and they had made it so that it looked like the sword was made out of his scales. Toothless made sure to practice with it every day even though it was made for when he was older. He was coming home from practice one day to find his house destroyed and his family slaughtered. He still doesn't recall how long he stood there staring at the gruesome scene when a hand landed on his shoulder. He jerked away frightened to see the tall imposing figure of the prince of the dark faeries and spirits his father had only just finished making a swords for him just a few days ago he knelt down so their eyes were on the same level. He then told him what had happened to his family that they had been murdered by light faeries. Toothless was consumed with rage he didn't realize until years later that Pitch had woven a spell that screwed with his emotions and made him more susceptible to jumping to rash decisions so when Pitch offered to train and teach him, he had accepted. Several long and savage years passed where Toothless kind of lost track of who he really was he went on raids, he launched attacks, he did whatever the dark princes asked of him never questioning their orders that is till one night he had shown mercy to the enemy a light fairy that had begged for it he had stayed his sword thinking of his brother, who the fairy strongly resembled. When he reported back to the newly crowned kings they were furious they ordered him to track the fairy down and destroy him. That was when Toothless finally saw what the kings truly were black twisted things that only wanted for destruction. Toothless fought his way out of the throne hall and through the territory he had made it to the mortals nature park when he was struck down then pinned to the ground that was when the beating started he lost track of who hit where he focused on only staying conscious he became aware when the blows stopped falling only to hear the one voice he never wanted to hear again

"you were stupid to try and leave Tooth you knew what would happen" Pitch said as Red kicked him viciously in the ribs causing Tooth to yell out in pain. Tooth gritted his teeth before forcing himself to meet Pitch's eyes as he gasped out

"the only thing stupid is that I didn't leave earlier with you two in charge its only a matter of time till war is declared and I won't have any part of it" he didn't see Red but he felt him hit him with the blunt side of his weapon despite himself he screamed out again. he heard rustling from the bushes not far from where he was he looked up to see someone standing away from them he couldn't believe his ears what he heard next

"HEY GET AWAY FROM HIM" a young voice shouted as a bright unnatural light fill the area Tooth got a good look at the kid he was no older than eight at the most, he was small and scrawny with auburn hair and an incredible amount of freckles on his face, he had a determined look in his eyes that slowly disappeared as he realized what he had walked in on any normal mortal would have run as far and as fast as they could but the boy seemed frozen to the ground. Every single faeries and spirits attention had turned towards the boy Red laughed as he saw what had ordered them.

"Well would you look here apparently some of these bugs can still see us" Pitch observed as he turned towards the boy as Red started walking towards him

"You know isn't it true if you rip out a seers eyes and eat them you'll be unstoppable?" he said growing closer and closer to the boy Toothless realized the boy was too scared to think about moving he had to help him out he couldn't let him suffer at their hands he drew in a breath and shouted as loud as he could

"WHAT ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING RUN GET AWAY FROM HERE!"it had the desired effect the boy took off running Pitch signaled for some fearlings and shadows to chase after the boy before turning towards Toothless once more he knelt down and smiled a cruel twisted smirk at him before saying

"He won't escape you know that, if he hadn't ran his death would have been quick and painless but now his pain and suffering shall be because of you think about that as you die" Pitch stood up and started walking away with Red by his side Tooth could hear the boys screams and he tried to drag his body up and run to help the poor mortal that was just in the wrong place at the worst time. When everything went quiet Tooth was sure the kid was dead he laid there is a dazed state wondering when he would die. An eternity seemed to pass before he heard footsteps he looked up to see a young winter spirit looking at him with surprise. The spirit was young and pale with shockingly white hair and brilliant blue eyes.

"wow a beaten up mortal and a beaten fairy in one night I must attract this sort of things" the fairy said coming closer but halted when Toothless started growling wordlessly at him, he sat down and waited till he stopped growling. Toothless's vision was starting to swim and he was sure he was finally going to travel beyond the gates when his vision went dark. When he next opened his eyes all his injuries were cared for and he laid in an unfamiliar room sitting up he looked around to spot the same spirit looking at him he explained what happen that he had brought him to his home and got his injuries treated. Over the next several weeks a friendship grew between the two of them and Toothless decided to stay with his new friend.

Toothless shook his head riding himself of these thoughts as he walked into the hall where Bunny, Ana, and Jack waited. He nodded at Bunny and Ana before bowing to Jack, he smirked when he saw the frown on Jacks face he knew that his friend didn't like the fact that he bowed to him and when they were alone he didn't but in front of other people they had to at least act like they were supposed to.

Jack quickly laid out his plan to observe the child, Bunny instantly objected and surprisingly so did Ana Toothless remained silent till Jack asked his opinion.

"I think it's a stupid idea to go on your own, you know while your glamoured you can't use magic unless you throw off the glamour and you can't just disappear in the middle of a crowd. That would certainly raise some questions. You should have someone shadow you someone that can step in and deal with any problems that might pop up" he reasoned pointing out the obvious flaws in Jacks plan. Bunny thought about it some more then pointed at Tooth

"you should follow him you can stay out of sight better anyone and the kid already seen me and Ana so we can't do it and any other Fairy or Spirit can't be trusted to pay proper attention so you're the best choice" he said with a smile, Toothless was taken back Bunny never said anything nice about him. Tooth shrugged his shoulders consenting to the idea he wouldn't mind seeing the kid again in person.

"good then we start tomorrow" Jack said with a grin.
