Berk

*One week after Hiccup's Departure*

Astrid looked over the still smoldering remains of the village, soon after Hiccup had left in the back of that, . . .that beast the other dragons had raided the village, this raid was unlike any other, the dragons didn't take any livestock or food like the other raids, this raid was like the whole wrath of Valhalla had come crashing down on them. All of the Vikings fought bravely but for every dragon the killed there where three more to take the dead ones place. That day was organized slaughter. In the after math of the battle Astrid found her caretakers had died in a fire, it was soon after that Stoick had Denounce Hiccup as his heir and announced Astrid as the new heir.

Even after a week the Village was barely back on its feet hopefully tomorrow would help the village regain some lost morale.

"Astrid," Stoick yelled up to her, she was currently situated on the roof, "I wanted to talk to you, before tomorrow morning." Astrid leaped off the roof, preformed a forward roll and landed on the ground in a three point crouch with a dull thunk then continued her roll to diffuse the rest of her momentum, Astrid's mind continued to follow the tangent it had started, even though he was banished from the village of Berk Hiccup was still useful, in the arena, she had watched and learned from Hiccup, she learned that the long grain sweet grass that grew in various places on the isle of Berk had the same effect on dragons as catnip had on cats. She had also figured out that the yellow backed eel produced the effect of a phobia when a dragon caught sight of it using its eyes or otherwise and as such Astrid had taken to keeping a handful of "dragon nip" and an eel on or near her person at all times.

"Astrid I'm talking to you." Stoick said impatiently.

"Oh sorry chief " Astrid said returning to reality, "What did you want to tell me?"

"So Astrid tomorrow's the day." Stoick said gazing towards the sun as it fell over the horizon taking the last few rays of warmth with it, "I wish you luck in your battle tomorrow, my daughter." Astrid allowed a smile to grace her lips, she truly felt at home

"Thanks . . . Dad." Astrid followed her fathers lumbering form into the house; tomorrow was going to be a busy day.

*One week earlier*

Toothless flew towards the sun and away from the village that had hurt His Hiccup, toothless looked over his shoulder at Hiccup he had fallen asleep soon after they had left, though Toothless Couldn't really blame him, the amount of raw magic Hiccup had released should have killed him, 'My Hiccup how I wish that we could speak to each other with real words.' Toothless began to lament when a shift on is back alerted him to the waking of His Hiccup, Those thoughts forced Toothless to realize that he felt more than just friendship for the human that was seated on his back, looking over his shoulder Toothless was amazed to see that His Hiccups eyes where a vibrant green-yellow color that matched Toothless' eye color. As toothless observed he noticed a few other resemblances, Hiccup's pupil had elongated and was now ovular in shape, Hiccup's irises had expanded to envelope the whole eye, and there where splashes of color that danced through Hiccups eyes, But while Toothless' eyes had a blue-white color that streaked and sparkled in his eyes, hiccup had a dark red color, the red was a shade between crimson and russet, Toothless found himself captivated by the being on his back, for Toothless could say with certainty that Hiccup was not a human, nor could he classify as any dragon Toothless had encountered before. But there was one thing Toothless knew for sure; he had found his mate, if not his Eternal.

When Hiccup woke up he kept his eyes closed as memories of the afternoon flooded his aching head, when Hiccup finally opened his eyes it took a few moments for them to adjust to the light.

"Toothless, Where are we?" Hiccup asked not expecting to get an answer from the dragon that had changed his life.

"We are about 300 of your human miles from that wasteland of a village, if you hadn't locked the false tailfin in the gliding position we would have double that amount of time, but I cant blame you for falling asleep, the amount of raw energy you released should have killed you, I don't even have that much energy!" Toothless explained hoping to convey his meaning.

"T-Toothless is that you?" Hiccup asked startled

"Hiccup can you really hear me?" Toothless asked hoping that his Hiccup could hear him; it would make conveying his feelings so much easier.

"Yes Toothless I can hear you!" Hiccup started crying.

"Hiccup why are you crying?" Toothless asked wondering what he had done wrong, "What has saddened you so?"

"Oh Toothless, these tears aren't tears of sadness, they are tears of joy, I have wanted to talk with you ever since we met and now, now we can!" Hiccup exclaimed joyfully, the touching moment was broken when Hiccup's stomach grumbled

"Hiccup, I see an island let's land and use it as a rest stop before continuing on." Toothless said, he felt the need to feed his mate, and also he did not know how much longer he would be able to keep flying, at the current moment it felt as if the queen was trying to rip his wings off.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea Toothless." Hiccup said as Toothless began their descent in a lazy spiral, when the reached the ground toothless found a fairly large cave that would be a good nest.

"Hiccup stay here, although I don't think that there are hostile dragons here you can never be too careful, I will be back within the hour until then make yourself comfortable." And with that Toothless jumped out of the cave

"Wait Toothless, I . . .I love you.

OK so I know that you are all livid with me for the double cliffhanger ending but I will resolve these in the future but until then I bid you adue.
