Gale-Breaker's POV:

As I watched Astrid walk back to her house, I listened to the silence of this village, every so often there was a faint laugh from one of the homes but other then that it was completely silent. I walked around the village taking in every little detail, I still greatly missed my smallish village but having a friend like Astrid helps. As I walk past the edge of the forest I over hear someone talking to themselves, it was around late afternoon but the sun was no where near setting, I followed my ears and nose to track down the person, when I found them I stayed in the shadows trying to blend into them, it was quite hard considering I'm not wearing my Night Fury scale armour.

When I focused on the person I instantly recognised him, it was that boy! The one who ran into me, what was his name... Hiccup! He had a notebook opened to a page covered in a drawing, it was a map of Berk from a Dragons-eye view, there was one small 'X' at one point, I'd bet my food saying he was going to the 'X'. I followed him a silently as I could as he walked through the forest, when we got to the 'X' there was nothing there, he marked a new one and he went to that one, this continued until he gave up and slammed his book shut, as he walked away from the site of the last marking he spoke, "Oh the Gods HATE me! Some people loose there Knife or their Mug, but I managed loose an entire DRAGON!"

DRAGON! He's looking for a dragon! Maybe he's looking for that Night Fury Astrid said he supposedly shot down, maybe it's a good thing I followed. As he continued moving he took out all of his anger on a branch and wacked it, the branch returned the hit square in his face, I let out a little laugh at this, a quiet one though, I don't really want his to know I followed him, he held his face in pain, when he removed them he looked straight ahead, I followed his gaze from behind him and saw it too, there was a bunch of upturned soil, like something had crashed and down, Oh no!

He hurriedly moved down the slope to see what had made this, I too followed, he caught me off guard when he suddenly stopped but I still stayed quiet, he pulled out his dagger, it was then I noticed his shaking hands, what was he scared about, I saw what he was looking at, IT WAS A NIGHT FURY!

"No!" I whispered, I could see some scars on the Night Furies front legs, the same as my ones, the Night Fury was Night-Flyer! "Night! Why did it have to be you?"

Hiccup advanced on Night with his dagger still in his hands, I noticed Night hadn't moved an inch since we found him, I think Hiccup noticed too because he stepped even closer to him and put his left leg on him shouting "YES! I HAVE BROUGHT DOWN THIS MIGHTY BEAST!"

"Please say your alive Night, please be alive!" I whispered hopefully, my wish came true as Hiccup was tossed un-balanced by Night, he had moved his leg. Hiccup brought his dagger back in-front of himself and stared at Night, as did I. Night opened his eye and stared back at Hiccup, he was giving him a stare down!

Hiccup's POV:

As the dragon looked at me I was filled with fear, I thought of all the things this dragon could do to me if he wasn't tied up in my bola, then I thought of how everyone would see me if I brought back it's heart, everyone would finally see I am a dragon killer and not useless, my dad would accept me for his son!

"Alright Dragon, I'm going to cut out your heart and take it to my dad, I am a Viking, I AM A VIKING!" I shouted as I brought my dagger up, ready to bring it down on the beast, I saw the dragon close it's eyes and let it let it's neck go limp, he was scared! I couldn't bring myself to do it, but I couldn't just back out now! I closed my eyes and tightened my grip on the dagger, my arms froze in the air, I still couldn't do it.

"If you don't want to, then don't!" I heard a voice say, I had never heard this voice before, actually, it sounded a bit familiar, not like anyone in the villages, maybe a bit kinder. I opened my eyes to see Astrid's friend, I never got her name. As she emerged from the shadows I looked back at the downed Night Fury, why would she care? "Hiccup, put the dagger down."

"I did this!" I said as I continued to stair at the dragon, it hadn't moved in a long time, did it die?

"Hiccup, Dagger, down, NOW!" she shouted motioning downwards with her hands, I did as she said, "Thank you." she came over to me and picked up the dagger, she crouched down and started to cut through the ropes, the dragons eyes shot open, was she crazy something, that dragon has death written all over his eyes!

I wanted to scream at her to stop but the dragons stare was to intense, I couldn't get any words out.

Gale-Breaker's POV:

Hiccup probably thinks I'm completely crazy right now, but I think he trusts me, well, he hasn't moved. As I cut through the last rope, I stood up and handed Hiccup his dagger. Night shot up and stared at Hiccup, he pounced and had him in his claws, I took this moment to switch my language back to Dragonese.

"Don't hurt him, he's safe." I hurred, the ears on the back of Night's head pricked up and I could see his grip on Hiccup loosen.

"Gale..." He warbled as his eyes came to rest on me, his pupils became relaxed and he took his paw off of Hiccup who had been laying there staring at me, "GALE!"

"Hey there, Night! I've missed you!" I warbled back, I wanted to go hug him but my legs were stuck in one place. Night bounded over to me, already forgetting Hiccup was still laying against a rock

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOUR HERE, I THOUGHT YOU WOULD BE CAPTURED!" He happily roared

"Why would I have been capture, I'm not a dragon?" I questioned.

"But, you can speak to dragons, you wear dragon scales and you fly like a dragon, don't they find that strange?"

"Uhhh, not to interrupt but, What are you, uhhh, doing with that, uhhh, Night Fury?"

I turned my head to see Hiccup, sitting against the rock with wide eyes, I forgot he couldn't understand Dragonese, Night turned his head to, he dropped his ears and his eyes went to slits.

"Is this one of the Vikings who took you from me?!" He growled showing of his teeth.

I shook my head and walked over to Hiccup, I extended a hand to help him up the same as I did yesterday, I couldn't have him go back to the village and tell everyone about Night, though from the way Astrid talks about him, I'm pretty sure no one would listen to him.

I switched back to Norse and prepared to have a very long talk with Hiccup, "Hiccup, this is my, uhhh" I looked back to Night who was sitting down staring at me with the same wide eyes as Hiccup had before, I've never spoke to him in Norse before, in fact, yesterday was the first time I ever heard my voice because Dragonese consisted of a bunch of Growls and weird squeaks, "This is my Brother, Night-Flyer."

"Brother...?" He said and gave me the look as if to say I was crazy

"Yeah, I'll tell you later but right now I need you to promise not tell anyone about Night or the fact I can speak to dragons, OK?" I said with a faint growl, " If you do, me and Night will hunt you down and carry you off to Dragon Island to be fed to the Mother!"

"OK!" He said really fast and wide eyed

"Good" I felt something nudge me in my back, I turned to find Night, looking at me with confused eyes. I put my hand on his nose and stayed like that for a long time, I don't care if people will never understand us, I love my family like anyone else would theirs. " You need a place to stay!"

I looked over at Hiccup who was staring at Night, he knew the Island better than me, maybe he could show us a place.

"Hiccup...? Do you know anywhere Night could stay out of sight?"

He looked up at me, I was taller than him if you didn't know, then brought out his notebook, he opened out the page with all the crosses on it and carefully looked at it, " How about the cove, no one ever goes there." He offered.

"Sounds good, lets go!" I said turning to Night, I motioned him to follow.

As we walked to the cove Hiccup asked me some questions, not about Night though more about me.

"Why did you follow me?" This was the one that stood out

"Because you looked so secretive, it was different, everyone's really open back home..."

When we got to the cove I looked around, it was truly beautiful, there was a small lake and some trees, Night seemed to like it as he instantly ran off to go and play in his new home.

"I'll have to sneak a few fish here everyday." I said as I realised, Night was never taught how to fish, then again neither was I.

"Can I come?" Hiccup asked silently, he had his head in his notebook, he was drawing Night!

"I don't see why not, Night would appreciate some company, he likes anyone who would give him a nice fish, meet me at the place we found him everyday after training"

"Ok... Wouldn't he have two tail fins?" I shot my head over to him, I could feel my pupils shrink, I looked over at Night, I tried to focus on his tail but he was moving to fast, I made my pupils go into slits so I could focus on him more, Dragons have eyes that can slightly slow down images, that's how they see everything when they're flying fast. I could see his tail now, Hiccup was right, he only had one tail fin, he can't fly.

"Oh Night, only you." I said as my eyes went back to their normal size, "You shot him down, so you'll help me get him back in the sky." With that I turned and left Hiccup to the mercy of my brother.

I looked back up to the sky, it was blocked by all the trees, the trees...

The next thing I knew, I was jumping from tree to tree on my way back to Berk.
