Chapter 17-Nothing like a nice change-wing

Hiccup PoV

Two months. Two Thor-forsaken months I was out. But it felt like only a few hours since I first saw the Allfather, how can time fly so fast?

I must have been thinking about this too long as I heard the growls of a certain Night Fury "Astrid, I think you might of broken him" with that I came back to reality only to have both Astrid and Toothless look at me curiously.

"Sorry, just trying to get my head around what you just said" shaking my head to clear my thoughts as I look directly at my girlfriend "two months? You sure?" I asked her as she rolled her eyes.

"No Hiccup, I look a mess because I'm going to a fancy dress as a witch" she replied sarcastically making me smirk.

"Well I'm sorry milady, you won't win, witches are supposed to be ugly" I said as my smirk turns into a sly grin "and I can say, no matter how hard you try, you can't be ugly" as soon as I said that she turned around, but even I can see her face has turned tomato red.

But I turned back to the matter at hand "but seriously two months?" I asked her again as I hear her groan still not facing me as she replied back "yes Hiccup, two months!" she turned around to look at me as I look at her stunned at what I was seeing.

Tears rolling down her cheeks. This isn't the Astrid I know, she never shows emotions like this, unless…..

"You nearly died Hiccup" she quietly said as she looked down to avoid my eyes. I look over at Toothless who looked just as sad as her.

I tried to get up to move close to her but as I did, I lost balance and fell down again, somethings not right. As I catch something in the corner of my eye I saw a piece of wood attached to some leather straps laying on the table next to the bed I got off, it looked like an old designed I made for Gobber to replace his own le….

My eyes widen in shock as I quickly looked down at my left foot, or technically, not.

"Wha…..h-how…..w-why" I stuttered hysterically as I started to hyperventilate, my left legs gone, I can't believe it, I knew one day I might lose a limb, Vikings lose limbs all the time, it was an occupational hazard, but I'm barely fifteen, the youngest ever recorded amputee in Berk was at least eighteen and I beat them by a clear three years.

Struggling to keep my breathing under control from the shock, I don't realise a pair of arms and a set of tails and wings wrapped around me as the occupants tried to sooth my breathing.

After what seemed like forever, but I think it was only a few minutes, I calmed down but neither Astrid nor Toothless never let go, it might seem like the weak thing to say as a Viking male but I felt safe, comforted that they won't let anything or anyone hurt me. I smile knowing that this was not a one way street, I will protect them to my last breath.

"Toothless" I hear Astrid say as I feel the dragons scaly head look up to her "could you give me and Hiccup a while to talk, I need to tell him what happened"

Toothless snorted in reply before releasing me from his wings and tail before walking out of the room but before he was out of sight, he turned around and gave us his dragonish grin "Just be quick with the mating already, the smell of your hormones are driving me nuts"

"Toothless!" both me and Astrid shouted in unison as both out face burned, making the black dragon laugh before running out of sight.

"Bloody useless reptile" I muttered making Astrid snorted trying not to laugh.

She got up and offered me a hand up and towards the bed. We both sat there in silence for a few seconds as I see Astrid took a deep breath before she explain what happened after I was knocked out, the fall of the Red Death, my near death, the state of my left leg, the agonising choice to lose the leg to save my life and the unexpected encounter with the Bog Burglars. I took all the information she told me, and in honesty, I took it well. But something caught my attention that got me concerned. Astrid looked tired.

"Astrid, have you been by my side all this time I was out?" I asked her as she looked at me, she never said a word but slowly nodded.

Sighing I thought as it's my style to do stupid and crazy things, I started to remove the straps of her shoulders pads making them fall on the floor, Astrid just realized what I did and was about to protest but I beat her to it "you took care of me, I'm taking care of you" I said as I lifted her further onto the bed so she was laying down, I unbuckled her spiked skirt and threw it next to her pads leaving her leggings on.

Again she tried to protest but went silent as I laid down next to her pulling the furs over us as I held her in my arms. Instead of arguing this time she snuggled further into my chest as two months of tiresome waiting finally won over her as she muttered something before falling asleep.

"I love you, my dork" as she lifted her head to kiss me on the lip making me smile before she buried her head in my chest again.

"I love you too my shield maiden" I quietly replied back as I hear her slow breathing knowing she was asleep.

I however, was not tired but I would not let Astrid know that as she seemed at peace in my arms, so I did what I do best, I started to think about ideas, weapons, armour and most importantly a new leg of my own design. Now that I have the right metal, Gronkle iron, a metal tougher than ordinary iron but extremely lighter, I can make so much more.

Several hours later

"Hiccup, stop being stubborn, let me help" Astrid said as she tried to get behind me as I made an attempt to walk with my prophetic on.

"You forget milady" is replied with a smirk as I tried to stand straight "I'm the son of the most pig headed chief who ever lived in the barbaric Archipelago, stubbornness is in my blood" suddenly I heard Astrid mumble something that nearly made do a double-take "god's help our kids then" I looked at her a bit sceptical "A-Astrid, you didn't have your wicked way with me while I was asleep did you?" I asked her with a sly smirk on my face making her wide-eyed and slightly blushing as she punch my shoulder so hard I nearly fell "no you dork, but we're still contracted to be married in the future and…" she rubbed her arm, she always did this when she was nervous "at some point we will have kids so I was thinking out loud about if they had your stubbornness"

And that made me think of course the contract could only be voided if the parents of the bride refunded the family of the groom the bride price, to which Alfsted and Helga never did, so technically we were still to be wed at some point and eventually start a family, now I was thinking if our kids took after me "poor sods" was all I said as I look at a smiling Astrid who at this point was holding onto my left arm "so whether you like it or not Haddock, you're stuck with me"

That made me smile "oh no, I am stuck with a beautiful blond Valkyrie for the rest of my mortal and immortal existence" I said dripping with sarcasm making Astrid smile, she knew that I thought of her as one, she gave me a kiss on the cheek before speaking "and don't you forget it" after that we slowly headed out of the room and toward a large door which I'm guessing lead to the outside, I opened the doors to suddenly shutting it again as I saw a purple Nadder fly by thinking there was a raid again, that was until I heard my girlfriend laugh.

"Relax babe" was all she said as she opened the door to reveal something I never would of accepted in my whole life but hoped would happen.

Dragons and Viking walking by peacefully around the village.

"W-what? H-how? W-when?..." great stuttering master of the Vikings strikes again.

"A lot has changed since you were out Hiccup, and it was thanks to you" I heard Astrid, turning around I saw a bright smile plastered on her face.

Looking around, I recognised a few of the buildings, not many dragon raids make it here as much as Berk did so understandable that most are fairly old, and even several of the residence, mainly all female and some males too thought looking at it the women here are dominant. Though realisation I turned toward my girlfriend with a questionable look on my face.

"Why are we on Bog Isle?" but she didn't get to answer as another familiar female voice interrupted us.

"Well that no way to be after we saved your butts Hiccy" I flinched knowing that only one girl ever called by that, turning around to see the wild blond hair of none other than Camicazi which made me roll my eyes and grin "hello Cami, I see you're still the same after five years" I turned my grin into a smirk "height and all" earning a raspberry from her.

"And you're still the same talking fishbone from five years too" she looked at me up and down before nodding "I see you gained some height£ she started smirking "but it looks like you lost a foot" earning a glare from me.

"Really? You're going for that low blow?" I said in a deadpan tone.

Suddenly we both laughed as we grabbed each other's wrists as a sign of friendly greetings.

"We missed you here Hiccy, been too quiet without your crazy ideas blowing something up" Cami said, the smile never faded from my face but turned my head towards a very confused Astrid, I guess she didn't know the full story between me and the Bog Burglar heir.

I released Cami's wrist and hopped towards Astrid, the pain in my leg was a little unbearable to keep putting weight on, something I'll get used to, once I got to my confused Girlfriend I put my hand on her shoulder as I gestured for Cami to come closer "Astrid, allow me to introduce an old friend of mine Camicazi. Cami, this Astrid, my girlfriend" the two women stare each other down, blue eyes meet blue eyes, oh gods this isn't going to end well.

Suddenly Cami starts to laugh loudly causing me to look confused and Astrid to look annoyed. Cami went on like this for a few more seconds before she finally calmed down and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry….. about but to be fair….. I love being right" she responded still trying to catch her breath.

"What you on about Cami?" I asked her, still feeling confused as she rolled her eyes before replying.

"I can't believe you forgot" she looks at me still seeing the confusion on my face "okay let me refresh your memory, five years ago, the last time you went to the thing, you confessed to me your feelings for one Astrid Hofferson" at this she turned to Astrid, who looked shocked before staring at me, gods I hope it doesn't lead to my death or another certain body part chopped off, Cami however shrugged it off and carried on "telling me she'll be the mightiest warrior on Berk, he even went on and on about her beauty, her quick temper, her lovely smile yada yada blah blah blah" she moved her arms about making circular motions as if saying it was dull "and going on about how she'll never feel the same for him and I told him bollocks!" she rolled her eyes as she sighed "he still didn't believe me, so I made a deal with him I said if by the time we're eighteen and Astrid still didn't like you then I'll marry him right off" okay so NOW I remember, it seemed kind of odd Cami would make a deal like that.

Cami wasn't finished as she punched the air "I'm so happy Hiccy finally got his girl! I'm off the hook now" she shouted only for me to give her a glare.

"Thank you for summing that up Cami" I sarcastically groaned but she just waved me off.

"No offense to you, I mean you're a great guy but you seem too….." she scratched her chin like she was thinking about something "organized for my taste, I mean sure you caused destruction, but that's accidental, I'm looking for someone who, like me, purposely looks for trouble" after that she looked towards the village before turning back towards us "anyway guys I'll be heading to the arena after I've sorted a few things with my mom down the docks so…." She started to run off at high speed only shouting a goodbye along the way.

I smirked at the speed she was going "she's still energetic" but my expression turned into a painful as a fist connected with my shoulder "ow!" I looked at the owner of the fist only to see Astrid's blue eyes glaring at me with daggers.

"That's for not telling me sooner that you had a crush on me!" she growled before hitting the same spot again "ow! Again!" I shouted which didn't seem to faze her "that's for scaring me and nearly getting yourself killed!"

I would guess her next move but I didn't know if I deserved it or not. That was answered as she tackled me to the ground and kissed me fully on the lips, her tongues making quick work passing through my teeth to challenge my own tongue, not without a fight as I move my tongue to match hers.

It might have been for only for a few minutes on the ground, but wow, it felt like hours, fireworks going off inside my head and I'm sure we're both blushing. After we emerged for air, all I could see was that beautiful smile of hers "and that was for everything else" she said as we decided to go another round, unaware we gathered a large crowd.

"Ahem!"

We both stopped what we were doing as we slowly turned around to see half the village, again like I said, mostly women, giggling and smiling making us blush and start to get up off the ground.

"Now yew two, no need ta stop on our account" said the familiar voice of a one legged, one armed blacksmith of Berk, I looked to him and smiled.

"Gobber?" I was dumbfounded at his appearance of all places "wh-what are you doing here?"

"Aww didn' ya miss me?" Gobber replied with a pout, making me roll my eyes as I hobbled over to the father figure in my life and gave him the biggest hug I could give, even though I couldn't get my arms around him all the way.

"You know I did Gobber but what are you doing here on Bog Isle?" I rephrased again although seeing him are indeed a welcoming sight, it seemed too coincidental that he was here at the same time as us.

Gobber just kept smiling as he put his real hand into his pocket to produce a crumpled up envelope before he started to reply to my question "Me Bertha sent me this letter the second they found ye" okay I'm even more in the dark than before but Gobber wasn't finished "an' also I came here to see my da…" but was interrupted by a certain blond Bog Burglar.

"Papa!" came the shout of Camicazi coming from the direction of the docks at full pace, ready to tackle the two limbed blacksmith to the ground, with no success as he caught her in his arms just in time, she was followed by a large chested woman who was walking with the authority of a leader, even I can recognise her straight away as the chiefess of the tribe of women and someone I know could match my own dads strength.

"Ah I see the Haddock boy is awake now!" Bertha said with a booming voice, yep matches my dad in every way. I nodded nervously in response wondering if she'll do what my dad did and kick me out of the village too, this seemed to make her laugh before she got over to me and smacked me on the back. I should like to point out my prosthetics off due to the pain so not much balance plus a slap on the back from someone who could knock out a full grown Nightmare to the ground, yeah guess the rest.

"Night Fury!" someone shouted as I was about to fall only to be caught by a black blur that jumped over several Vikings to get to me, sticking his head under my body and saving me falling.

"I got you bro!" Toothless crooned as his dilated eyes look up towards me as he push up, helping me get back upon my foot. I smiled at him and scratched under his chin making him purr with ecstasy.

Bertha who stopped laughing at the scene before looking serious at me before speaking again "there's no need to worry Hiccup, I'm not going to tell your dad you're here, Gobber explained the situation to me a while ago" she said gesturing to Gobber who only smiled as she carried on "but I will ask one favour from you Haddock" oh boy, a favour, I wonder what it is? But what I wasn't expecting was what the favour was "I want you to teach the tribe how to train dragons" she gave me a sly smile as she gestured to Cami who was still hugging Gobber "starting with my daughter"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, teach a Viking tribe how to train dragons? Something I wanted to do the second I bonded with Toothless, of course it won't be to train them in fighting but like me and my friends, to bond and befriend them, but it's a start.

Smiling, I nod to Bertha in agreement as I know my next port of call. That was until my stomach growled and realized I was starving, okay eat first, teaching later. I looked at Toothless and decide at this point to sit on the back of him as I was feel tired from standing up for this long, guess doing most of my movement on one leg take quite a lot of energy and walking to the Bogs great hall would take forever. As soon as I was comfortable enough I patted Toothless' scaly to indicate I was ready, Astrid followed suit by jumping on behind me, arms around my chest making me blush and we set off through the village towards the hall followed by everyone else, mainly asking questions on what it was like to fly, did I really kill the Red Death, and by some of the women near my age if I had a Girlfriend, seriously? They just saw me kiss Astrid a few minutes ago. But their question was answered by flaming red eyes staring at them by Astrid, she held me tighter as she whispered in my ear "you're all mine" which made me give out a goofy grin.

As we reach the doors to the hall I spotted my gang and their dragons waiting outside like they were waiting for us.

Turns out they were as they rushed to embrace us.

Yeah let's just say three teens and three dragon coming straight at you to crush you in a hug, not the best thing for someone my size.

After what seemed like an eternity of hugs and shouting of how much we were missed we parted and looked around as I realized something, one dragon was missing.

"Hey where's Stormfly?" I asked the gang as they shrugged not knowing themselves. Toothless however sniffed the air and looked at me "Hiccup, Astrid, I know where she is, but I need to find her. Alone" he growled and barked, understand straight away both me and Astrid got off his back, I rubbed the top of his head as I spoke "you go find her bud, we'll grab a bite and meet you later on" and with a nod, Toothless trotted off in a direction heading out of the village.

Both smiling, Astrid and I held each other's hand as we slowly headed into the hall.

Boy I was starving.

Toothless POV

I start running in the direction her scent came from, lucky for me it was still strong otherwise I would never find her, but a lot of strange feelings start to invade my head when I think about her. What could they mean?

I mean she's a Deadly Nadder, as what Hiccup and Astrid refer to her species, she's beautiful but dangerous at the same time. But that never crossed my mind once before, yet the more I knew about her the more these feelings towards her grew.

I snort thinking she'll never feel the same.

For one, even though were dragons, she might not find me attractive even if I am Dark Striker, or Night Fury as humans call me.

The scent get stronger as I spot a familiar blue sticking out from the green grass surrounding her, as I moved slowly closer she didn't turn at all. Okay either I'm very good at sneaking or she's ignoring me.

As I get closer to where she was sitting I notice the ground around her head was darker than the rest, like it was wet. Had she been crying? I look up to her head and see that she had been.

"Hey Storm" I crooned while nuzzling her head, she opened one eye to look at me before quickly covering her head with her wings.

I looked concerned, from the time I've known her, she never cried, she always put on a brave face for everything so it was strange to see her like this.

I laid down beside her, I wasn't going to give up that easily, guess me and Hiccup are alike, both stubborn.

"Go away" I heard Stormfly silently squawk, but I made no attempt to leave but laid where I was, she lifted up her wing and start to glare at me "are you deaf or something?! Go away!" she growled loudly trying to intimidate me.

But still I stayed where I was "Not until you tell me what's wrong" I replied back to which she snorted and looked straight in front of her trying to ignore me.

"It's nothing you need to know about" she retorted, now I know somethings up, and it sound big.

I shook my head as I kept looking at her "now you know I don't believe that so you might as well tell me" she turned her head sharply in my direction after I finished talking, again stubbornness issue for me.

Suddenly she stood up wings spread out and tail spikes stuck out, this made me stand but I didn't move "you want to know what wrong with me?!" she roared angrily at me, okay I'll admit I'm a little intimidated by this, even more as she moved closer towards me "you want to know why I'm upset?! I'll tell you!" she paused before drawing breath, what she had to confess shocked me a little "I'm scared Toothless! Scared! I was scared when I saw the giant queen! I was scared when I nearly lost Astrid to her! I was scared when her mate and you nearly died! And I'm scared because…because…." At this point she was struggling with her words, but with one giant roar finally came out with a shocker "because I love you Toothless!" that stunned me. She loves me? I thought it was only me? I mean yeah we cuddled a few times but isn't that what friends do?

I came back to my senses as I realise she was backing away from me "I'm sorry Toothless, I know because of how scared I am that you might not see me as the ideal mate" she spread her wing out again attempting to fly off.

'Oh no she isn't' I think to myself as I leap on top of her to stop her from taking off and pinning her to the ground as we look at each other "wha….Toothless what are you….." but I interrupted her by pressing my snout against hers causing her to stop and I felt this serge go through my head all the way through my body and I can tell from the way she looked at me that she felt the same.

Something I remember from my youth before I was caught in the queen's control, elders would teach younglings about how finding your mating partner actually worked, apparently since most senses in a dragon happen in the head the main connection point is the snout, it causes a sort of shock through the body, which indicates a bond. Imagine how confused I was when Hiccup touched me and I felt it, although after a while I realized it was like a bond between brothers than mates and feeling this connection with Stormfly makes me realise how right I was.

This whole bonding thing needs explaining to me in more detail, maybe asking an elder if they know much about dragon/human bonding, maybe even ask the Alpha if I ever get to meet him.

Coming out of my thought I notice our snouts are still connected, but neither of us wanted to move. Realizing I still had Storm pinned down, I move away, still looking at her and notice she was blushing and feeling my own cheeks burn but we still looked into each other's eyes.

I gave her a smirk before speaking "I don't know about you Storm, but I'm very much sure you're my ideal mate" I then move closer to her head again "and just to let you know, I love you too" and for the next hour, anyone passing by would see a mix of black and blue curled around each other with very loud purrs coming from both of us.

Two Hours Later Bog's Dragon Arena Normal POV

After a refreshing and slightly long meal in the great hall, the teens and several adult walked casually inside the ring.

Well everyone except Hiccup and Astrid, who were taking their time walking there since Hiccup was painfully trying to get used to walking again after two month on his butt resulting in his joints and muscles to be stiff from being unused, but being stubborn as he is, he refused to stop when he felt the burn come.

Eventually they made it and Hiccup collapsed onto the ground looking exhausted but triumphant, his body ached and his muscles were sore but he put his mind to walk from the hall to the arena which is on the other side of the village despite this. He looks up towards Astrid who had her arms crossed shaking her head, but she was smiling, she insisted that he ride on the back of Toothless or Stormfly towards the arena, but Hiccup won this conversation on two counts, one he needed to get used to walking again and two, the dragons hadn't come back until just now.

She should be mad that Hiccup refused to listen but as she thought about it long and hard, she realized she would do exactly the same.

Back to Hiccup, and he looks around to see a few of the Bog's in the arena who want to learn how to ride dragons, including Cami, rolling his eyes and smiling at her eagerness of wanting a dragon, Hiccup slowly gets back up address the everyone, with a little help from Astrid who held him up once he stood.

"Well…err everyone" he started off nervously as he saw everyone turn their attention to him, Astrid saw how nervous he is and squeezes his arm to let him know she has his back, he smiles and with some confidence restored carries on "okay first off, what dragons do you have here?" he looks around waiting for one to answer.

Cami steps forward "a few, since we never got raided much, a couple of Terrors, a severely pissed off Nightmare, two Gronkles, two Nadders and a very odd dragon that I've never seen before, but it seems inured" this made Hiccup raise an eyebrow and Fishlegs came forward straight away holding his over copy of the books of dragons and his personal notebook, he seems to brim with excitement at the possibility of this unknown dragon. Hiccup, Astrid and Fishlegs step forward along with their dragons as Hiccup look towards Cami.

"Can you please inform everyone to vacate the ring and open the door to the unknown dragon" Hiccup asked, he didn't want to act rude and tell people to leave their own village arena since he is technically a guest.

Fortunately, or unfortunately in another's case, Cami stood in the centre of the ring and cupped her hands over her mouth.

"Get out!" she shouted so loud that it even startled the dragons, as the villagers walked out not wanting to hear their heir shout again the five dragon riders look toward her direction as she shrugged "what?" she said as four of the teen smacked their heads with their own palms, all except Tuffnut who looked at her with a smile, even his sisters punch to the jaw didn't faze him, he just stood there quietly talking to himself.

"She's a girl after my own heart"

Unfortunately Ruffnut heard him before making a gagging noise and walking away from her love struck twin.

Shrugging, Hiccup motions for one of the Bog's to open the door to the unknown dragon first.

As the door slowly opened Toothless started sniffing the air around him, something to him seemed familiar, a sort of acidic smell filled his nostrils, realizing what it was he went wide eyed and rushed towards Hiccup and pulling him back at the same time Stormfly and Meatlug did the same too as a glob of green gloop hit the ground the three teens were standing on a few seconds ago, suddenly the green gloop started the steam and sizzle like it was burning the ground underneath.

"Acid?" Hiccup recognised straight away as Fishlegs quickly scrolls through the book to find out what dragon uses acid, Hiccup looks into it too, there are only a few dragons that's use acid, but only one sort of dragon comes to mind since the dragons appearance is unknown.

"Changewing" they both said in unison.

Hiccup looked at Cami with a raised eyebrow "how in the nine realms did you manage to capture a Changewing?" Hiccup asked remembering something in Borks notes about them hunting in packs.

Cami however started to rub her arm nervously "well we didn't capture it in a fight, we caught it while it was injured" Hiccup still had his eyebrow raised wondering why it didn't blend in with its surroundings, even injured the Changewing should have been able to blend to protect itself. Hiccups thoughts were disturbed by the sound of frightened roaring coming from inside the pen.

"Go away! Leave me alone smelly humans!" the dragon riders heard as they could understand dragonese.

"Well that's not very nice, we don't smell" Hiccup said as he turn to the others to see the twins and Gobber sniffing their pits making the dragons near them back away. Hiccup face palmed himself "well most of us" He mumbled.

"Wait, you can understand me?" the roar inside the pen asked, next thing a large green head popped out followed by the rest of its body, a long slender body kind of like a Nightmares except it had six appendages instead of four, the wings were attached to its back kind of like a Night Furies and strange tentacle like things sticking out of it head. Although the head was green, the body seem to be a mixture of purple and dark blue. To the Vikings, who never knew what a Changewing really looked like wouldn't think more about the scale colours, the other dragons however were intrigued, they never saw a Changewing with so many colours.

The Changewings however saw the dragons looking and started to growl angrily "stop looking at me!" causing the dragons to step back, all except Toothless who stepped forward toward the angry acid-spitting dragon. This took the Changewing by surprise and backed away.

"D-dark Striker!" the multi-coloured dragon screeched as it panicked looking at the Night Fury, Toothless understood what was going on and quickly tried to calm the situation.

"Woah! Calm down, we're not here to harm you" Toothless chirped and growled trying not to sound intimidating, which didn't seem to work.

Hiccup, seeing all this, let go of Astrid and slowly limped towards both dragons, with protest from his girlfriend but held his hand up, indicating her to trust him, hesitantly, she nodded and stepped back with the others, still worried for him but trusted he knows what he's doing.

Hiccup limped closer to Toothless rubbing his head, earning a purr, before limping slowly towards the Changewing with his hands out to his sides, showing the scared dragon he was no threat, like his unviking-like size wasn't a dead giveaway.

"Hey it's okay, it's okay. You're safe" Hiccup softly said trying to get the dragon to calm down, and it seems to be working as the Changewing's expression slowly turns from panic to curious as it looks at the boy coming toward it, no weapon, no anger, not even any amount of fear.

Before the dragon even knew it, the palm of the boys hand was gently pressed again its snout, surprising it but then it seemed to calm down under the boys gentle touch as Hiccup gently rubbed its head.

Everyone, including the dragon let out the breath they didn't know were holding in all this time, the adults and Bog teen looked on in surprised, Fishlegs, Ruff and Tuff smiled on impressively, Astrid however was walking towards her boyfriend and his new friend slowly as she did the same as him and gently rubbed the Changewing's head, Hiccup looked towards her and smiled to which she returned the compliment.

"Cool!"

This made the two teens turn their heads towards an excited Camicazi watching all this take place, she wanted to pet the dragon too but as she got closer the Changewing started to back away. Hiccup and Astrid was wondering what was happening until they realized something on the Bog heir was spooking the dragon.

"Stop!" they said in unison halting the girl in her track.

Hiccup then pointed to her belt "remove your weapons" he said which confused her, Hiccup carried on "dragons won't let you come near them if they think you are a threat, removing your weapons is the first sign of trust"

Getting the message she slowly removed her two swords from her belt and dropped them to the ground before walking away from them, but the dragon was still hesitant, Hiccup decided to give her one of his deadpan looks "all of them"

She groaned at this but complied removing her eight throwing knives from her tunic, the two daggers in each boot several other throwing knives in her hair, a hatchet concealed on her side underneath her clothes. Eventually after several more concealed weapons were removed and chucked, the floor she stood under was littered earning questionable looks before Hiccup spoke up again "what? No spear up your butt?" he said sarcastically, what he didn't expect was her reply.

"Oh I thought I forgot something" she said as she reach her arms round her lower back, after a bit of struggle she finally produced a small bludgeon making Hiccup face palm himself "I'm not going to comment on that one" he heard Astrid simply said as Cami just stood there under a pile of weapons and shrugged.

Shaking his head he then motioned for her to come slowly while at the same time motioning for the Changewing to come forward too, all this time Hiccup was wondering if they'll be a bond, but thought otherwise that it would be impossible to know if these two are a match, but then no one thought him and Toothless were either.

As soon as Cami was close enough, Hiccup and Astrid backed away from both her and the dragon, so they could get to know each other face to face.

"Now remember what I said, keep calm and talk to the dragon, when you feel it's right, hold out your hand and look away as a sign of trust" he instructed her as she nodded in response.

Gulping, but still remaining calm, Cami started to look at the Changewing, who was looking back in fascination "hi there, I'm going to say girl, cause you look strong" this made the dragons head bob up and down as if nodding 'yes', this made Hiccup raise his eyebrow wondering if this could be another, he carried on watching the interaction between these two "you have very beautiful colours, kind of like a delusion, or a mirage"

Cami thought about, Mirage sounded like a good name for a Changewing and one with such unique colours, feeling the time to be right she looked away as she slowly held out the palm of her hand toward the Changewing's head hoping not to match her father.

Suddenly she felt a jolt go through her body, it shocked her at first but it felt good, she looked forward to see the Changewing's snout on her hand purring away, she gave a short laugh before putting both hands on the dragons head and gently rubbing it, she didn't know why, but she felt connected to this dragon, so easier than connecting to her fellow Vikings.

Hiccup and Astrid just stood there smiling with triumph as a new bond was formed, their dragons decided they wanted their attention so they walked towards the couple to get some much needed scratches and petting to which the teens complied with a laugh and a mutter of 'spoiled dragon' could be heard

After several minutes Hiccup decided it was time to move on to the next lot who wanted to try their hand at befriending a dragon "okay, now we have the first Bog Burglar who's befriended a dragon, anyone else want to go next?" but before anyone could answer, a new voice entered the ring.

"Well how about the first Meathead to befriend a dragon Hic!"

Hiccup recognised that voice, although seems deeper than he remembered but still the same. They all turn towards where the voice came from only for Hiccup to smile recognising the tall lanky boy with long black hair tied in a ponytail from his childhood.

"Thuggory?"

Finally we have another ship to celebrate. Toothfly, or Stormless, either way I like it. Hope you all enjoyed this. See you all later and have a happy Easter. Be warned of exploding eggs, you might get a baby dragon out of this but you might blow your house up.
