Bluelight came to Berk in search for his friend. Ech. Even though they had been seperated temporarily they kept the close bond. The Skrill found Ech in Badmist Mountain with Toothless and Hiccup. He landed with a loud thud and approached his missed friend. Ech did the same and embraced the purple dragon.
"Bluelight! You found me! How did you know I was on Berk... Actually that's pretty obvious isn't it?" Ech giggled and Bluelight gave a small purr. Hiccup and Toothless walked up to Ech and the Skrill with a wide grin on their faces.
"The same Bluelight that helped you escape from Alvin?"
Ech nodded and turned to face Hiccup. "The very same!"
Toothless and Bluelight circled eachother and gave small growls and sniffs, a form of greeting between the two. They seemed to like eachother, Toothless even gave Bluelight a slight lick on the cheek which Bluelight returned graciously. Both Hiccup and Ech laughed at the two dragons.
"Well it seems like they will get along just fine. We should go tell the others the great news." Hiccup suggested, calling the NightFury over. Toothless happily stood next to his friend and allowed him to mount on his back. Without a word from Ech, Bluelight did the same. Ech was the only human that he had allowed to ride on and he intended to keep it that way.
With a swift thrust of wings, Toothless and Bluelight lifted into the air and headed toward the village of Berk. As they flew Toothless seemed a bit off. Of course he was happy to be flying Hiccup, not that he could anyway without him regardless. The NightFury occassionally glanced around, as if looking for something. Ech wasn't the only one who noticed, Hiccup did too.
"What's up bud? Is something out there?" Toothless looked up at his friend with a smile and shook his head. Bluelight glanced over at Toothless as if asking the same thing, but he shook him off to. This was odd, even for Toothless.
The two dragons landed gracefully in the middle of the island of Berk were a group of vikings were quickly around them. Many wanted to see the new dragon that appeared which they quickly identified as a Skrill. Astrid and Fishlegs walked up with the crowd, Snotlout and the Twins were off in a arguement down at the Dragon Academy. So the remaining two decided to leave them. Fishlegs was interested greatly in the Skrill, never having to see one up close. Bluelight proped himself up, ready for inspection. He took pride in his appearance, but he prided his speed above all us. Skrills could rival NightFury's if they were pitted against eachother.
"This is the same dragon that saved you from Alvin... Quite a surprise he shows up now. After Clovis's death. Perhaps he heard you, and knew that you needed him." Said Astrid looking at the Skrill then back to Ech, who gave a small nod.
While everyone was preoccupied with Ech and Bluelight, Toothless decided to sneak away. He had an important matter to attend to and he couldn't let anyone know. Not yet. Not even his best friend Hiccup knew and they were close. Toothless loved Hiccup and would do anything for him, but this not only involved Toothless... but Clovis as well.
Toothless made sure that everyone was looking away from him when he slipped away, however, he did not catch Astrid seeing him wander off. She approached Hiccup and pointed out that Toothless was going somewhere. Hiccup turned around and noticed it as well, Ech also noticed... only because she was listening in on their conversation. She shot them a concerned glance and Astrid motioned for them to follow Toothless, but discretly.
Hiccup, Ech, and Astrid followed Toothless to a cave. It looked like a small cave on the outside, but if inside it became a bountiful cavern of greenery. It was sort of like Badmist Mountain, but there was a larger body of water and it wasn't walled in by rocks, instead it was a wide open space. The group was surprised they haven't seen or heard of this place at all. It was remarkable, it seemed untouched by human hands. Wildlife and plants flourished in the golden sun. The sound of rushing water run through the hidden paradise. Two waterfalls thundered down at the East and West end of the secret place. For some reason here was a faint, but distinguishable smell of cocoa. Clovis has been here.
The three were careful on where they treaded. They did not want to alert Toothless that they were here. No. They wanted to find out where he was going that was so top secret. Hiccup was the first to see the black dragon.
"Over there!" Hiccup whispered, surprisingly Toothless didn't hear him.
Astrid and Ech huddled up close to Hiccup to get a good look at Toothless. He was circling around for some reason, then he breathed a weak fire to warm up an area next to him. After that he quickly looked around, perked his ears and gave a quick whiff to the air. Sensing nothing the NightFury began digging. His back was toward Ech and them so thy had no idea was he was burying... Or digging up. Soon they did find out.
Toothless put his head in the dirt and then back up with something in his mouth. It was an oval shape. It was green, but had splotches of black on them. It also had a single design of a red flower. Toothless placed the green orb on the ground he burnt to make the area warm. Ech was speechless. She knew what Toothless was doing.
"Hiccup... Astrid. I know what Toothless is doing."
"What?" They both asked in unison.
"Hatching an egg. A dragon's egg."
