How to Mate Your Dragon

Ch. 3:

(Toothless POV)

I stared in shock at Windchaser. She had taken on the human-like form. She also looked...Beautiful. But why did she take the form. Was she ready to mate?

"Shelen, what is that?" My human asked again. I looked toward Windchaser and took a step forward. Windchaser became stiff. Hiccup then moved toward Shelen and Windchaser gave a warning screech and spread her wings. I pulled Hiccup back, knowing it was a warning for him to stay back. The female Night Furies were all that way around mating season when a male gets to close. Even if it is only a human.

Windchaser then changed back into her Night Fury form. She didn't lower her wings, though. Shelen stood up though and made to move forward but Windchaser growled at her.

"Stay." Was the command.

"Windchaser?" Shelen questioned.

"Mine! Back off!" Windchaser growled at us. I backed away but Hiccup stayed. He was unsure what was wrong with Windchaser.

"Shelen, what's wrong with her?" He asked.

"It's mating season." Shelen replied.

"Mating season?" Hiccup said those words with dread.

"Yeah," Shelen replied unfazed.

"But don't you think that it's abit I dunno...lesbi-"

"Dont say that word!" Shelen said angrily, "And no, it is normal for her to get abit possesive over my safety. She is female." Shelen finished calmly. "Just give her some space, you're too close."

So Hiccup also moved back. I saw Windchaser relax and fold her wings to her sides.

"Thank you." She said and hopped up onto her human's bed taking on her human-like form again. "Now we may talk."

"Ok, why did you take a humanoid form?" I asked her.

"I wish to speak with my human." She replied.

"But that isn't the only reason is it." I pointed out. She didn't answer.

"...That is none of your concern." She replied coldly. I would have been offended but it was her decision. She then sat back in a relaxed posistion. Then of all the most unlikely of times, Hiccup's father had to burst in. (Seriously it isn't even his house!) He took one look at Windchaser and bellowed at the top of his lungs and charged with an axe. I leapt in front of Windchaser and growled in warning.

"Out of my way, beast!" Stoik said to me in anger. I didn't move. "If you don't move I'll-"

"Shelen what's going on?" I looked up and saw Tyson Pendragon one of the only normal and civilized Vikings of the village.

"Hi, dad!" Shelen waved to him cheerfully. Stoik froze and turned to his friend. I smirked in relief that he had been momentarily distracted.

(3rd Person POV)

"Stoik, what are you doing?" Tyson asked as he eyed the axe. He then saw Windchaser in her humanoid form. The dragoness waved sheepishly.

"Tyson! That thing is a demon! A shape-shifter!" Stoik shouted louder than nessesary. Tyson glanced at Windchaser whom was looking up in fasination of something random. Shelen looked at the dragon in annoyance and rolled her eyes.

"Why do you call Windchaser here a demon?" Tyson asked calmly. He had been a dragon scientist before the war between dragons and Vikings. It was where Shelen had gained the gentle touch in taming dragons. Hiccup had gained the skill from his mother.

"Do ye not SEE what that thing has become?" Stoik bellowed angrily.

"Stoik, it is perfectly normal for Night Furies to become human most of the time before mating." Tyson explained, as though he had seen it happen every day. Everyone stared at him in shock. Never before had they thought he knew so much about Night Furies!

"So, will it go back to normal when mating season is over?" Stoik asked. Tyson nodded. Stoik sighed in relief and after a mumbled appology left the room. Tyson then turned back to the teens and their dragons.

"So, why did she take that form now?" Tyson asked. Shelen looked at him sheepishly.

"Well, um, she wanted to be able to talk to me better and stuff." Shelen explained. The dragoness nodded in agreement not wanting to strain her voice.

"I see, well it would be best if become human all the way if you are to show yourself to the village." Tyson sudgested.

"You can do that?" Shelen asked her friend in suprise. The dragoness nodded again then turned to Tyson and gave him an 'I understand' look. The raven haired man then left the room. After he did Windchaser closed her eyes and breathed in and out in a slow tempo. Suddenly flames surrounded her body, Black flames, and in her place was a young woman with the same hair as humanoid Windchaser but with pale smooth skin instead of scales.

"That feels better." She said smiling. She could finally use her speach with others instead of just Shelen as the dragoness had still been part reptile and only the one with a close bond to her could understand the limited Norse she spoke.

"Mind if I join you? I haven't tried using my human form yet." Toothless asked his friend. She smiled, feeling much less strange, and nodded. Toothless suddenly dissapeared in blue black flames. Hiccup yelped and jumped away. When the flames died in the large Night Fury's place was a handsome young man with short spikey black hair and yellow green eyes with pupils that could reduce to slits or almost completely drown out the yellow green color. The man also had pale skin. He also was well built with good muscles but the only problem was that he was naked. As soon as the others realized it Shelen tossed him a towel to wrap around his lower half.

"How do I look?" Toothless asked Hiccup.

"Pretty nice, bud, but we may have to go back home and get you some clothes. You can't go walking around in just a loincloth." Hiccup replied.

"It isn't a loincloth it's a towel." Shelen said in annoyance. Loincloth indeed.
