Chapter: 8 – Hatchlings

It took a few weeks for the new dragons to get settled into their new nest and to learn all of the rules, but they couldn't be happier with how things have turned out for them. The new species of dragons was the most time consuming in those weeks, with all the training and selecting who would be the clan head as well as where they would live.

But the most exciting thing that happened was when the eggs started hatching throughout the nest a couple of days after we came back.

(Flashback – Hiccup's POV)

Smiling as I caress Toothless neck, causing her to purr and then to move her head to nuzzle into my neck, we stop what we are doing when we here a crack coming from the eggs. Looking down to the eggs, which Toothless is partly wrapped around, we here more cracks coming from them as spider web like cracks start to creep over them.

Gazing at the snowflake egg, which has the most cracks, we move our heads closer to it when the top breaks off as a head pokes out of the egg. The hatchling's scales have the same snowflake gemstone look as the egg, with a body that has a slim figure like Toothless, showing that it's a female but with ice blue eyes instead of green. As the hatchlings head exits the egg with the top part of the egg resting on her head, she comes face to face with Toothless, causing her eyes to widen as she lets out a startled epp like sound. This causing me to chuckle with mirth as the hatchling ducks her head back inside of the egg, which causes the shell on her head to close off the opening of the egg.

Looking to Toothless as she pouts, I laugh as I look to the other eggs as the white egg brakes open, showing another female hatchling with pearl like scales with sapphire blue eyes looking at me as I smile at her. Staring at my smile, the hatchling starts to copy my facial expression, which ends with her giving me a silly gummy smile as Toothless giggles at her.

Gazing over to the other eggs as two of them break open, one of them having another female hatchling with black scales like Toothless but with confident ruby red eyes as she stares me down. The other hatchling being a male with the same black scales as Toothless and forest green eyes that are filled with mischief as he nudges the other hatchling with his tail, causing her to trip on an egg shell. Laughing as the red eyed female hatchling chases the green-eyed one, while the pearl scaled hatchling helps the shy hatchling out of her egg, I look over to the last egg that hasn't hatched yet.

Unseen by us the egg has a hole at the bottom of its back, showing that the inside of the egg is empty, while behind me two small blood-red eyes shine in the darkness.

Looking at the last egg with confusion, which turns to worry as the hatchling isn't coming out, I move forward to the egg only to hear a small squeaky roar behind me as the blood-red eyed hatchling pounces onto my back. This getting a startled yelp from me as the hatchling climbs up my back and sits on top of my head, while his head is held up high with a smirk on his lips. Grumbling under my breath about sneaky brats as Toothless laughs at me, I reach up and grab the black scaled hatchling, then place him on the floor with the other hatchlings.

Moving over to my side, Toothless places her head on my right shoulder as she looks warmly down at our hatchlings.

"What should we name them?"

Toothless asks as we gaze over the hatchlings as they run around playing.

"I got some names, but you should name some as well."

I say, causing Toothless to purr as she looks over the hatchlings, stopping her gaze on the pearl scaled hatchling.

"Pearl –Moving her gaze over to the black scaled female hatchling. – Sapphire."

Toothless says, which I nod at with a smile, then turn my gaze to the green eyed male hatchling.

"Loki, – I say with mirth, the name catching the hatchlings attention as he gives me a gummy smile then goes back to tripping the other hatchlings over. Moving my gaze over to the snowflake scaled hatchling, who epps again and hides behind Pearl as she sees me looking at her. – Haku, – Moving my gaze to the blood-red eyes hatchling, who is sneaking up on Sapphire from behind. – Rex."

I say with a warm smile, which Toothless returns as we watch our hatchlings play.

(End of flashback)

The weeks after our hatchlings hatched was mostly filled with running all over the place, getting caught in pranks from Loki, like having a Cod falling onto my head as I'm walking around, how he is even setting up these pranks without any hands I never know. Or getting pounced on by Rex twenty times a day as he suddenly appears inside of shadows when he wasn't even there a second ago.

The only problem in the nest is that of interaction between me and Valka, which is none at all as I keep her more than an arms distance away from me. The atmosphere around us is always tense when we are around each other, especially when she comes to see mine and Toothless hatchlings.

The hatchlings also seem to be nervous when she comes over to see them, which seems to hurt her even more, the only hatchling being not nervous or tensed around her being Pearl as her friendly nature won't allow it.

It also turns out that our hatchlings have all of the Uzumaki perks, fast healing, large chakra pools and a very strong bond to kin. The large chakra pools in them have also changed their genetics slightly so they have full control of shadows, which explains why Rex can suddenly appear in shadows as he can teleport through them.

Seeing that our hatchlings can already use chakra we started teaching them the basics so that they don't hurt themselves and know why they can do these things. This lead to us to start teaching the other hatchlings in the nest and to see how the unlocked chakra changes the different species in the nest. This led to more headaches for all the parents, especially with the Skrills as Bolt goes around generating lightning from his chakra to zap the adults in the nest.

"Daaaaad! Loki tripped me again!"

Groaning in despair as I come out of my thoughts and drag my right hand down my face, I look to the entrance of my study as I hear a giggle, which came from Toothless as she walks up to me.

"Hello, beautiful."

I say with a warm smile, which she returns before bringing me into a kiss

"EWWWWW!"

Shouts out a voice from the entrance of the study, which causes us to break our kiss to look at Pearl looking at us from the entrance with a look of disgust on her face, while she looks from Toothless lips to mine.

Chuckling, I quickly move over to Pearl and pick her up, which gets a startled yelp from her.

"So you don't like kisses?"

I say with a smirk as I carry her over to Toothless, Pearl getting a horrified expression as she catches onto what I'm about to do. Toothless gaining a shine in her eyes as I bring her over to her as well.

"No, no, no, no, no, NOOOO!"

Pearl shouts out frantically as she tries to get out of my hold as I stop in front of Toothless before I and Toothless start to smother her in kisses as she screams out in horror. This catching the attention of our other hatchlings as they quickly come over to where the screams are coming from, only to skid to a stop and to stare with wide eyes at Pearl getting drowned in kisses. Loki the only one who isn't frozen as he slowly backs away from the entrance to the study with a mischievous smile as he lets out a roar before he bolts away from the room.

This sound getting mine and Toothless attention as we look to the entrance, which causes our hatchlings to come out of their shock as they let out screams as they topple over each other to get out of the room first. Pearl joining them as she manages to get out of my hold, this causing me and Toothless to break down into laughter as we watch them run off.

(Drago's POV)

Glaring around at the men and women under my control with hate as I walk around my ship, inspecting everything is being done properly as I do so. While I'm walking my mind goes back to when I attacked the Bewilderbeast nest with my army and how all my plans failed because of that bitch. Just thinking about that dragon rider makes my blood boil in rage with how many times she dared defy me, first by taking his dragons and damaging his forts, to downright destroying them as well as killing all of his dragon trappers.

But the bitch went across the line when she used some type of magic to destroy a large percent of his army and worst damaging his pet Bewilderbeast, which if died would cause all of his plans to be for nothing.

"Sir!"

Coming out of my thoughts to sharply turn towards my left and to aim my glare at one of the weaklings under my control, which causes him to flinch back then to drop to one knee as he bows to me.

"Sir! We are nearing the Uglithug Territories!"

The weakling says as he trembles under my glare.

"Good, when I have the Berserkers under my control I'll destroy this dragon rider and everyone else who stands in my way."

I snarl out as I look ahead over the sea as my armada sails on. Not knowing that the Berserkers are still recovering from having three-quarters of their armada destroyed by the dragon rider, but not the one he has been putting all the blame on.

(Valka's POV)

Sighing as I enter my new room, I sit down on my bed as I think about how everything has changed so fast. Me not coming back for my baby as I know that I wouldn't be able to live there anymore after what I've seen, so I decided to stay with the dragons and stay out of my son's life. Only to find out that he never had a good life at all in the village and ended up isolating himself from everybody. Before somehow coming across a member of a destroyed village who gave him all the teachings of their village. And a year after meeting a Night Fury of all things and falling in love with her before going off to build his own nest with her. Also, he starts to destroy Drago's dragon trapper's forts and killing everyone who is inside of these forts. And to top it all off his mate got pregnant and laid five eggs that so happened to hatch recently.

This should make me happy as I now have grandchildren, but because of the rift between me and Hiccup, it is always a tensed moment when I'm around his hatchlings. It doesn't help that we don't talk and that he watches me like a hawk around his hatchlings ready to strike if I do anything. But the one thing that makes me cry at night is that only one of his hatchlings allows me to come near her as all the others stay close to Hiccup or Toothless.

Getting a nudge on my arm, I look to see Cloudjumper looking at me with concern, which causes me to give him a warm smile and to wrap my arms around his neck. As I do this he moves his head so that it's resting on my back, this being a dragon's version of a hug. Pulling away from the hug, I smile at him as he gets onto the bed and lays down by my side.

I never thought that I would miss moments like this, but now that Cloudjumper needs to do this training, we never see that much of each other often. But even though we are not that happy about this, I can see that Cloudjumper is happy about getting stronger and needs the training if he is going to be one of these clan heads.

Coming out of my thoughts as I hear a growl at the entrance of our cave, we turn our heads to see a Terrible Terror standing at the entrance with a scroll attached to his back as he stares at us. Getting off the bed as I move over to the Terrible Terror, I unstrap the scroll off of his back which causes the Terror to take a step back then bow to us before he turns around and takes off.

Shaking my head at how vastly different this nest is compared to the Bewilderbeast and how the dragons act, I look down at the scroll as Cloudjumper comes up to my side. Looking to my left at Cloudjumper who is looking at the scroll in my hands in curiosity, then looks at me with a face that clearly says what are you waiting for? Open it!

Looking down at the scroll, I open it and start to read out so that Cloudjumper can hear.

– Valka, I Know that I would never be able to see you as a mother and that hurts me inside more than you would think. But I do not see us being able to live in the same nest with how we are acting towards each over at the moment, I have seen how my hatchlings act around you because of this. So I would like to start over, not as mother and son but as friends. If you want to start over, come to my place and we can start to get to know each other better, I also have something for you that will help you live in the nest. I also need to talk to you about something else. –

Reading through the scroll with tears in my eyes at what it says at the beginning, while Cloudjumper comforts me and glares at the scroll. The tears turn to happy ones as I read on, while I gain hope that I haven't completely lost my son.

(Hiccup's POV)

Looking on with a warm smile as my hatchlings play with Toothless, all of the hatchling trying to dog pile her, which she keeps on evading on the last second to make them crash into each other.

"I like that one. I think we are going to be best friends."

Stalker says with a smile as he comes out of a shadow and stares at Rex as he keeps on teleporting to shadows that will give him the best chance to pounce on Toothless.

"Grate, there's going to be two of you."

I groan out in annoyance, but with a smirk on my lips.

"I'm not that bad."

Stalker grumbles out, which causes me to raise an eyebrow at him.

"Sneaking inside of mine and Toothless bedroom when we were mating, just so that you can tell me that we forgot to turn on the silencing seals?"

I say with irritation, causing Stalker to smirk at me.

"Well you were making all the females close by jealous with how you were making Toothless scream, and definitely aroused with how loud those screams were."

Stalker says back, which causes me to blush and for Toothless to halt long enough when she overheard what was said to get dog piled by our hatchlings, who cheer out in victory at winning the game.

"You are just jealous that you don't have a mate like Toothless,"

I shoot back, which only makes Stalker's smirk bigger.

"Yes maybe, but if she was still male I would definitely be jealous of you."

He says, causing me to look and blink at him owlishly, which causes him to laugh.

"You're gay? I thought you would be straight with how you act around females."

I say in surprise, causing him to smile.

"Well, I tell you, most dragons are actually bisexual but are more on the female side than male. Dragons don't look down on people that are gay too, because nearly all of the gay couples are soul mates and because most dragons are bisexual it doesn't affect them. That's why I don't like most humans, nearly all of them think that gay couples are wrong and unnatural. Also, the reason I act like that around females is that it keeps males from getting suspicious when in very rare times they catch me… observing them, hehe. Anyway, Me! I like males more, less nagging."

He says, whispering the last part to me, causing me to laugh out in amusement.

"So, are you here to tell me something? Or are you, somehow, able to be in two places at once as I thought that you are meant to be spying on Drago?"

I ask, which makes him straighten before he gets a dreamy expression when I say about being in two places at once. Snapping out of his daydream as I cough to get his attention, he bows his head in apology.

"Yes. I got some information for you, I just got distracted with watching your hatchlings play. Anyway, Drago is moving to attack Dagur and his armada, he plans to add the large Berserker armada to his after he lost a lot of his army from attacking the Bewilderbeast nest. Unfortunately, for him, he doesn't know that you nearly destroyed all of the Berserker's armada when you attacked them. Actually, you would have if they didn't leave a small percentage of the armada at home to protect it. The only problem is that Dagur knows where our nest is and Drago would attack us as soon as he can."

Stalker answers, causing me to frown in thought.

"Stay here."

I command, which gets a nod from him before I walk into my study and walking over to where the forge is, grabbing a black kunai with the Uzumaki clan symbol on it off of a weapon rack against the wall. Gazing over the kunai, I nod to myself and walk back out of the study over to Stalker who is watching my hatchlings again as Toothless chases them around.

Seeing me, he gives the kunai in my hold a curious look as I move over to him, which I hold out to him with my right hand open so that he can gaze at it.

"I want you to take this and kill Dagur with it before he tells anyone of the location of our nest, but do it when Drago is talking to him and show yourself to everyone when you do. This should have Drago and his army on their toes as they know that there's a Changewing around but won't know how many. It should also show that it's coming from me as you used a kunai and will show that I know what's going on. Also, I give you permission to cause chaos in his armada after you have killed Dagur. You know, releasing dragons, braking equipment and do stuff that can make his army turn on each other as well, so that they want to kill each other. I would also talk to my son Loki, he can give you a lot of ideas to do and this can also direct some of his time from pranking us to the enemy. He would be able to see how his talent can be used on the enemy and see how to implement his talents in his fighting."

I say, getting a large toothy grin from him when I get to the part about causing chaos and to let out a snicker when I say to get some help from Loki.

The both of them not knowing that when Hiccup spoke of getting help from Loki that the whole of Drago's army felt a shiver of dread go up their spines, Drago having the largest one of them.

"It will be done, and I will definitely get Loki's help."

Stalker answers as he grabs the kunai with his tail before he bows to me and then turns invisible. Only my sharp eyesight being able to see where his paws are touching as he sneaks out of the entrance to my cave.

Picking up movement in the sky, I look over to see Cloudjumper with Valka on his back coming towards my cave. Stiffening a bit as I see her, I take a deep breath and calm myself down.

"Toothless, they're here."

I call out, causing Toothless to stop chasing our hatchling before gathering them up and to come up to my side. Smiling at her as she presses her side against mine, which she returns as our hatchlings stay behind us as they look ahead from under Toothless or around my legs.

Looking on as Cloudjumper lands and Valka climbs down off his back to stand by his side, then to fidget nervously as she looks at us then to our hatchlings. Only to yelp out as a blurred shape impacts her chest, causing her to fall onto her back and for Cloudjumper to spin around to see what attacked his rider only to stare in amusement. On her chest is Pearl who is currently covering Valka's face in saliva, causing her to laugh and try to move her face away, which doesn't do anything as Pearl moves with her.

Hearing quiet laughter, Pearl stops her attack and turns to the source of the laughter to see Cloudjumper, which she narrows her eyes at. Seeing the narrowed eyes, Cloudjumper gulps and takes a step back as he stares at her.

"ATTACK!"

Pear roars out as she pounces on Cloudjumper, followed by our other hatchlings, accept Haku, as they see that I'm not tense around Cloudjumper and Valka anymore. This getting a startled cry from him as he is dog piled by our hatchlings, this making me and Toothless to laugh out as Valka gets up, while trying to get the saliva off of her face as she does so.

"Come on, you can play with Cloudjumper inside."

I call out as I make my way inside with Toothless by my side, with Haku underneath her, chuckling as our hatchlings race each other to the middle of the cave, with Loki somehow already having pranks planted in the way. Which causes me to shake my head at his odd power at being able to spawn pranks out of nowhere.

'It looks like Loki might have blessed him or has reborn himself as him if the Gods are real.'

I think with a shudder, only to burst out in laughter with everyone else as somehow Loki got a hold of one of my seals, which I was messing around with that can cover someone with paint. Looking on as a now pink Rex chases after Loki in rage, I shake my head and sit down crossed legged on a mat on the floor, while Toothless wraps her body around me. Looking on as Cloudjumper goes with the hatchlings to play with them, I turn my head to Valka who is looking at me nervously as she sits down on the mat in front of me.

"Now, before we get to know each other personally, I need to know some things before we get to that something that I mentioned in the scroll."

I say, which causes Valka to nod at me as she avoids staring in my eyes.

"First off, Drago is going to attack the Berserkers, so that he can add their armada to his. But, as you know, I destroyed nearly all of their armada, so he won't get anything from them. But, we both know that eventually, Drago is going to attack my nest, so I will start to train you myself as I am the only one that can in my nest. I'm going to see how well trained you are and make you better, I can see that you like using your staff so I will dig out the scrolls that will teach you how to truly use a staff in a fight. These scrolls are written in the Uzumaki language, though, so I will need to copy the scrolls but in Norse for you."

I say, which gets a nod from Valka as her nerviness fades away, while she gets a look of determination on her face.

"Now about that something that I have for you."

I say, while I pull out a storage scroll from a pocket on my cargo pants, which causes Valka to look at me in curiosity as she watches me open up the scroll. Looking up at Valka, I smirk as I place my hand on the seal on the scroll, Toothless mirroring my smirk as Valka hasn't seen a Storage seal before. Getting a gasp from Valka as smoke explodes from the seal, I snicker at her wide-eyed expression as she looks at the scroll when the smoke clears.

On the scroll is a necklace that has a small black Cloudjumper, who is holding a diamond in his talons protectively with his lower wings wrapped around the bottom of it. He has his upper wings spread out with the chain of the necklace attached to the claws at the tips of his wings. If you look closely at the necklace you would see that Cloudjumper whole body is engraved with seals as well.

Looking on as Valka picks up the necklace and traces her fingers over it as she gazes over the master craftsmanship.

"If you look closely, you will see that there are seals engraved into the necklace, theses give abilities to the person wearing it. These are the abilities to understand dragons like I can and if you add a drop of blood from your dragon onto the necklace, it will connect to the dragon. If you do add blood to it, the diamond will shine, this means your dragon is alive and it will keep on blinking if he is in danger or hurt. You will also always feel a faint pull when you are wearing it, this pull is telling you the direction of where Cloudjumper is."

I say with a small smile as I see tears in her eyes as she puts the necklace on.

"Now that that's all out of the way, I think it's time that you two get to know each other better."

Toothless says, getting a gasp from Valka as she can fully understand her now, causing me and Toothless to smile at her.

(Drago's POV)

Rage. Pure uncontrollable rage I feel burning through my veins as I look over what is left of the Berserker's armada, which happens to be hardly anything now after we destroyed their small armada. Looking around at my armada, my rage rises as I see that I probably only gained about four more ships under my control.

'What happened? The Berserkers had the largest armada! What could have wiped out three-quarters of their armada? It must have been that rider again!'

"Sir! We captured Dagur like you ordered!"

Looking over to the voice, I gaze over Dagur's form as he looks back at me with his insane smile, but every so often looking up at the sky nervously as he searches for something not there.

Marching forward, I grab a hold of his neck and add pressure, which causes him to look down at my arm in surprise before bursting out with laughter, which causes me to stare at him in rage.

"You don't have anything! Anything that will make me scared of you! Strength, speed, skill, armies! You are nothing compared to the demon that attacked us! The demon who came down with his army of Skrills and destroyed my armada in seconds! The demon who killed the whole deck of berserkers on my ship by himself in seconds. The only thing seen of him is that of a blur of movement before everyone was cut to pieces, his sword cutting through their armor like they were made of water! He said that he only used a small amount of his full power to destroy my armada! The only reason I'm alive is because that he had a use for me! He told me! He told me to give a warning, he said that if anyone attacks his nest or his family he would destroy them, there would not even be remains of the attackers! Hahahahah!"

Dagur yells out then brakes down in insane laughter at the end of his speech, dropping to the floor as I let go of his throat and think over what he just yelled out. While I'm thinking over what I heard, I look around at everyone to see fear in their eyes at what Dagur said as they start to whisper to each other. Nobody seeing a flicker in the air as something invisible stalks around everyone so that it's behind Dagur.

'Demon… this can't be that bitch! Everything he said is similar to what has happened to my dragon trappers! This demon must be the one who took all the dragons from the Bewilderbeast's nest and caused that explosion! Now he takes away the armada that is rightfully mine! I will rip his flesh from his bones!'

I think in rage as I look back at Dagur who has stood back up as he carries on laughing.

"Where is this demon's nest!"

I snarl out, causing him to stop laughing as he looks me in the eyes, only to burst out laughing again but only louder. Growling in rage, I take a step forward only to stop as Dagur lets out a pained grunt, which stops his laughter as his eyes widen before he falls forward like a tree being cut down.

A kunai embedded into his spine between his shoulder blades so far that the blade of the weapon is fully embedded into him. Behind the now dead Dagur is a black Changewing with its tail pointing straight at where Dagur was standing, the Changewing also looks like it's smirking at everyone's wide-eyed expression before it gives a bow and then turns invisible again. This action breaking everyone out of their shocked states as they start to panic, looking around with their weapons drawn at the ready as they wait to be attacked again.

After a minute of nothing happening everyone starts to relax but still look around warily for any sudden movements, while I move over to the corpse of Dagur and grab hold of the foreign looking blade. Pulling the blade out of the corpse, I look it over but stop as my gaze lands on a red whirlpool design on the blade, which I glare at with hate as my grip tightens.

[Author's note: Ok, that's the end of this chapter! Do you have any ideas of what abilities each species should have? What do you think of the hatchlings? And do you think in the future that Cloudjumper and Valka should become mates?]
