Chapter 6! Happy Easter everybody, and hopefully with the break I'll be able to write the next chapter and have it out on Thursday! Now isn't that exciting?

PokemonKnight: You'll find out now!

better-in-black-since-1234: It's probably both. I sometimes rush, and I often repeat words. But don't worry, I plan to see this story all the way through!

DunalN2: I'll try, but that's hard for me to do. As for ideas, I already have the general plot outlined, but if I need help I'll know who to go to.

TheREAL13thfirewolf: I agree, although the main reason I had Hiccup meet Odin is because Odin is the god of wisdom and, surprisingly, the slain. But more for the wisdom part :D

Stinkyfish98: Well, if you haven't noticed, I feel obliged to respond to everybody who reviews. Not sure if that's good or not...
As for Hiccup/Odin, occasionally, but not for a while probably. And Gobber/Stoick...oh man, that's going places...it won't be this chapter, or even the next 'village' chapter, but the one after that... well, you'll be in for a surprise! *Cackles like a maniac*

I.F.T.S: At least she won't die now! I need her for the plot. Oh yes, she's going to be very important!

After all those responses, on to the chapter!


The sunlight rose slowly, casting a sparkling reflection off the calm sea. A slight wind brushed through the trees, causing a gentle ruffling sound as the leaves met each other, as if to say good morning. The silence and tranquility was broken as a cow-like call rang through the air. A single puffin stood on one of the cliffs, announcing its catch to the world. A few more puffins flew in to feast with it. Silence returned, before a loud roar sounded nearby, making the puffins scatter and fly off, calling out as they did so. A black shape slowly emerged from the tree line, and inspected the catch the birds had made. There were mostly herrings, with a few sprats and a couple of sand eels. Toothless snorted to himself as he inspected the aforementioned sand eels. Humans came up with the craziest names, considering these 'sand eels' weren't even eels.

He quickly ate down most of the food, grabbing the remaining in his mouth. When his Hiccup woke up, he would probably be hungry. Toothless jumped off the ledge and flapped his wings once, settling into a glide. He hadn't travelled too far. He wanted to be nearby in case something happened. As Toothless landed in the cove, he glanced at the form of his human. He looked so peaceful, his features set in a gentle smile. Toothless' heart broke again as he remembered he had died with that smile on his face. He nudged Hiccup once, and released a small croon when he met cold flesh. He gently grabbed Hiccup in his forepaws and, with a final glance at the cove, took off.

Toothless flew up high, getting a good vantage of the entire island. His eyes were focused on the most prominent feature of the island: The mountain. He beat his wings a few times and flew closer, searching for one particular cave. The sun steadily climbed higher, offering light to the previously shadowed parts of the mountain. It was in one of these emerging areas that Toothless saw his destination. He glided down in tight circles so he wouldn't gain too much speed and lose sight of the cave. As he came closer, he straightened out, landing softly on the rock floor. Toothless carefully leaned Hiccup against one of the walls, dropping the pile of fish he had carried by Hiccup as well. Toothless drew himself back up, glancing around the hole, before peering into the depths of the cave. He slowly started walking, his ears flicking back and forth to capture any sound that may reveal the location of the dragon he was searching for. The darkness seemed to not only be devoid of light, but of sound as well. The only thing Toothless could hear was the gentle padding as his paws hit the stone floor and the sound of his heart steadily beating in his chest. Toothless stopped, sniffing the air. He could faintly smell the scent of a dragon, however…

Toothless roared out in shock as a large, red mass slammed onto his back, knocking him to the ground. He instinctively jerked to the right in an attempt to get the attacker off, but claws reached around him dug into his stomach, refusing to let go. Toothless rolled over, his attacker now on the ground beneath him. He proceeded to writhe furiously, his movements eventually paying off as one of the claws loosened its hold temporarily. Toothless took the opportunity to wrench free of the offending claw and slide out of the hold. The dragon on the ground quickly got up, facing Toothless. It was a light salmon red, and was similar to a Monstrous Nightmare, except that it was smaller and the membranes of its wings were jagged, as if they'd been cut. Toothless stiffened slightly, realizing exactly who the dragon was, before doing a small bow.

The dragon before him regarded Toothless with a cold stare, before the eyes softened and the dragon said, "Why have you come here, thurkear wiivai?"

Toothless lifted his head back up and replied, "Svadria altiui, I come here for your help. One that I have grown close to has recently…fallen." The last word came out as a whisper.

The red dragon sighed, before looking at Toothless "Since the formalities are over, and I have a feeling that you're going to be here a while," The dragon slid his front right foot forward, his paw down. "My name is Torin."

Toothless looked down at the offered paw, before placing his paw in front of it, touching his claws to Torin's. He looked at Torin and said, "Toothless."

Torin looked at Toothless for a second, before bursting into laughter, much to Toothless' annoyance. After about a minute, the laughter subsided, leaving Torin on the floor gasping for breath. He glanced at Toothless, and proceeded to burst into another round of giggles. It only lasted a couple of seconds, before Torin staggered to his feet, apologizing as he did so. Toothless grunted, before asking, "So are you willing to help me or not?"

Torin studied Toothless a little, the remnants of a grin still on his face, before shrugging "It depends on who you want to help, and why you want them back."

Toothless motioned with his head, and started towards the entrance of the cave. Torin followed, and widened his eyes when he saw a human. He glanced at Toothless, who had sat beside the scrawny thing and looked at him seriously. Toothless' eyes flickered to the still form of the human, and then back to Torin, before simply stating, "This is Hiccup, my human." Toothless then told Torin about everything that had happened, how he had first found the boy, how they were closer than anyone would have thought possible, and eventually, of his death. By the end of the tale, Toothless' voice had deepened to a growl, as rage for the insolent humans coursed throughout his body. He glanced at Torin, who seemed shocked, before asking again, "Will you help me?"

Torin shook himself from his stupor. He scrutinized the human carefully, before solemnly saying, "I can bring him back, but at a cost. However," Torin's voice brightened "It may not be so bad, seeing how much you like this human." Toothless quizzically looked at Torin, who turned to face Toothless and asked in a serious tone, "How far would you go to bring this human back?"

Toothless replied instantly with, "I would do anything."

Torin nodded, before motioning for Toothless to come closer. The black dragon got up slowly, and walked towards Torin, curious as to what this solution was. Suddenly, Torin's claw flashed out, whacking Toothless' head and knocking him out instantly. Torin looked at the dragon, and then to the human, and set to work.

As the moon looked over the island, a single black dragon stirred. The dragon groaned, slowly gaining consciousness again. The waking was painful. He found himself on his back, and with an incredible amount of pain coming from his stomach. However, every single one of Toothless' limbs ached, feeling as if they'd been torn off and then sewn on by a hatchling. He groaned again, rolling over to get into a more comfortable position, and frowned as his wing hit something warm. Toothless sprung back in surprise as his memories returned. A growl came from his throat as he remembered what that traitorous dragon had done. The form before him shifted, solidifying into the shape of a dragon. Toothless snarled, studying the form before him. The dragon seemed to be darker than Torin, perhaps a dark red? Toothless watched the dragon for a few seconds more, before huffing and turning towards the entrance of the cave. His rage would be saved for Torin. He stared at the moon for a couple of minutes, before turning towards the untouched pile of fish.

It hadn't spent too much time in the sun, yet it was still too old for Toothless' liking. Toothless always preferred his fish fresh, alive if he could get it. Toothless gave a small grunt, nosing into the pile and grabbing a fish, throwing it into the air and catching it with a swift thrust of his head. As the fish slid down, a sudden though came to him. Hadn't he placed Hiccup beside the pile of fish? Yes, he had. So where was Hiccup? Toothless pushed these thoughts aside as he heard a weak moan come from behind him. Toothless turned around, looking at the dragon that was now waking itself from its slumber. As it moved, the moonlight reflected off the dragons scales, revealing it to actually be a dark, midnight black.

Toothless redirected his eyes to the dragon's as it whimpered, "Oww… oh gods my head." The black dragon rolled over onto its stomach, groaning. "And my stomach…and my arms…oh dear Odin everything hurts." One of the dragon's eyes opened, and upon seeing the dark emerald green eyes, Toothless was certain this dragon was a Night Fury as well.

"And who are you?" Toothless asked, trying his best to sound imposing. However his efforts seemed in vain as the dragon refused to move. Instead its eye moved to Toothless. The dragon looked at him, before its eyes continued moving. Toothless was confused. He was certain the dragon had seen him, but it gave no indication that it was going to reply.

Toothless trotted over and gave the dragon a solid whack on the head. The dragon yelped, recoiling his head a bit in shock, but still refusing to move. The dragon glared at him, before asking, "Toothless, what was that for!?"

Those words made Toothless halt. The dragon had known his name, yet he was sure he hadn't mentioned it before. It could have been a friend of Torin's, however Toothless doubted it. "I'm going to ask once more. Who are you?" Toothless growled

The other dragon simply stared at him, its mouth hanging open, before it stuttered out, "T…Toothless…did you just talk?"

Toothless narrowed his eyes. Something about this dragon wasn't right. "Of course I talked, but you haven't answered my question. Who are you?" There was something about this dragon…

Hiccup stumbled to his feet, saying, "Toothless, you know me! I'm Hiccup! Why, can't you…?" Hiccup looked down as he felt his balance shift, stopping mid-sentence, before releasing a loud cry of surprise. Hiccup jerked his head around in fear, looking at his feet, then his tail, and finally his wings. Hiccup faintly said, "Oh…Thor, I'm a dragon…" before his legs gave out and he fainted. Toothless was equally surprised. His Hiccup was alive…and a dragon. Toothless wasn't sure what he should try to understand first, or how he should feel about this sudden change in events. On one paw, he could finally speak to Hiccup! And they could really fly together. Although, he wasn't sure how Hiccup would react when he woke up again. He curled up next to Hiccup, his mind a whirl with thoughts, but he settled his thoughts and his body, deciding to get a bit more sleep. Morning would bring many new possibilities, and a new perspective...


Yay! My favorite part! And my own OC... I feel so proud of myself :)

The next chapter is a 'village' chapter, so we go back to Berk! More excitement!

I said most of what I want to at the top, so see you (hopefully) on Thursday!
