thought '...'

speaking "..."

I want to warn anyone reading this story that due to school starting I may not be writing as much as I used to, but give me time and I will update I don't plan on ditching this story ever. I will update when I can.

Also I am starting to revise, review, and correct the starting chapters because yes I did reread the chapter that I made almost two years ago and some of them have errors I can't ignore anymore, so I will be updating as I correct chapters.

Dragon's point of view

'Another stupid raid on this Vikings home…how boring.' I thought, flying above the village 'You would think the after so many raids that they would just leave, but no they had to be Vikings and they just had to be as stubborn as dragons.'

I circle the town once more waiting for the right moment to strike. I stay hidden in the night, no one, not even some of the dragons knew where I was. I circle the village watching dragons and Vikings fight for food, for survival, and can't help to think that this is all wrong.

"We either die at a Viking's hands or we die from the Queen's. What a fulfilling life we have.' I thought dramatically. 'Steal food for the Queen and die a horrible death either way. There has to be more in life than just this…this stupid cycle." I loop through the air staying out of sight watching as my brothers and sister fight the humans. No side seems ready to back down, but as time went on it seemed the humans were starting to gain the upper hand.

I don't want to be a puppet for the Queen; I refuse to steal food from the humans just to please her…she won't kill me I'm the only thing standing in the humans' way of killing her food collectors. Even so I'm still under her control, still fighting for her even though I don't want to.

'What kind of life is this? Don't we deserve more than this…we're dragons, if we ban together the Queen can be overthrown and we can be free why doesn't any one see that. Maybe they do, but fear what change will do. After all the Queen has always been in charge. It can't be any worse than it already is? Can it?' I thought, listening to the screams of my brothers and sisters 'Looks like its show time.'

I swooped low into the village just enough to still be concealed by the night sky while giving off my infamous screech. I throw my blue purplish fire ball at one of the watch towers that was still left standing and felt unsatisfied as my bother cheered in triumph when it fell and the humans cried out in panic. 'Is this all there really is. Fighting and servitude.'

I circled back around looking for another target. When I saw another watchtower yet to be destroyed. I swooped low and shot another one of my unique fireballs at it. Yet I still felt unsatisfied.

I rode up into the sky looking at the village of Berk. 'This is all life will be unless the cycle is broken doesn't any one else see that.' I thought angrily as I did a few loops in the air, watching the village of Berk slowly burn to the ground. The people either putting out fires or fighting the dragons, neither winning nor losing just simply being. 'This is all life is ever going to be' I thought closing me eyes as I let the wind carry me for a while, trying to shake off the depression that was slipping into my mind.

That's when I felt it, something wrapping itself around me, something that I couldn't shake off, and was tangled in. 'Its impossible no one can see me at night. Its impossible for a Viking to be able to shoot this far up' I thought, panicked, but yet I was trapped. I realized in horror that my wings were wrapped to. 'I couldn't fly' I thought, panicking as soon I found myself plummeting to the earth. The wind was howling at me to pull up to stop this steep descend, but I couldn't. I roared in frustration, fear, and anger. I watched as the earth came closer and closer into my view. I closed my eyes and braced my self for the pain that was no doubt about to come. And than everything went dark.

When I woke up everything hurt, my whole body was screaming in pain, but at least I was alive. I could only turn my head a little to the side to see the tree that had broken my fall. I tried to break free of my binding only to have my whole body protesting to the movement. I tried to lift my head only to see the world blurring together before losing the strength to keep it up. 'Sleep…sleep was what I needed,' with a whine I allowed the darkness to take me again.

I heard roars up above and could see that the other dragons were heading north again. The raid must be over which means it's close to sunrise. I tried to break free one last time, this time my body only feeling sore instead of broken. I tried to turn my neck up to shot a fireball to show where I was, but the rope constricted my movement. I gave a roar, hoping that one of the dragons would hear me, but no such luck.

'Great here I was worried about dying at the hands of the Queen or a Viking now I get to die from neither…I get to die the pitiful death of starvation oh joy. Why wasn't I paying more attention to the battleground? Why was I so carless? How could I the mighty Night Fury as the humans call me be reduced to this?' All these question and more rummaged through my head as I struggled to escape, my frustration starting to grow.

I was too tired to fight any more and before I knew it my fear had consumed me, I was no longer angry or frustrated I was scared 'this was how I was going to die…alone and forgotten. No one would miss me, no one would come looking for me.' I thought letting out a louder whine its not like any one was around to hear me so what was the point of pretending not to be afraid. I don't know how long I whined for or when I fell asleep, but I knew it wasn't that long.

At first I thought the sounds of footsteps was just my imagination. I was sure the small squeak was an illusion. I thought that the soft words of excitement were all in my head. I thought I was delirious until there was a pressure on my sore back paw. With what little energy I had left I pushed the pressure off. Now I knew someone was here with me. I watched as something peeked over my shoulder to see me. It was a human hatchling she was young. She had shoulder length red brownish hair with a side bang, her green eyes filled with curiosity and fear, freckles on her cheeks and over the bridge of her nose. She wore a long sleeved green dress with a brown furry vest, brown boot with fur outline, and a brown belt that was slanted on her skinny somewhat tall frame. 'So I do get to die at the hands of a Viking, even if it is one so young.' I watched as she only stared at my eyes. 'What is she waiting for? Why is she just looking at me?'

I watched as she shook her head and raised her dagger to her chest and widened her stance. 'Yes this one will kill me and at least I can die a dragons death.' I listened to her ragged breathing as her feet shuffled, sinking more into the ground. "I'm gonna' kill you dragon, I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father." Why is she telling me this I knew she is going to kill me "I am a Viking…I'm a Viking!" 'Why does she sound so unsure of that statement?' I think watching as she again took a deep breath and raised her knife over her head. I waited for the blow to come, waited for her to bring her arms down and impale me with her dagger, but again she hesitated. I whined in annoyance 'was she trying to torture me or something…did she enjoy watching her prey suffer before killing it, is that why she has yet to strike.'

I looked at her and tried to see what was holding her back. She is a Viking a human she should hate us on sight and kill us on sight. 'No one would hesitate to claim the life of a Night Fury, would they? Would some one really give up the chance to kill something as rare as me for nothing? No it wasn't possible, this human is just giving me false hope.' I thought, feeling slight mad at myself for thinking such thought.

She shook her head and this time before closing her eyes I saw determination flash through her eyes.' This was it…this was going to be the killing blow.' I had made my peace and was more than happy that this boring cycle of life was over. I only pray that my deceased family will forgive me for not fighting to the end, 'please forgive me for giving up so quickly.' I thought giving one last whine telling the human to hurry up and laid my head to the floor ready to see my pack once more.

I heard a deep angry sigh and turned my head as much as I could to see the human had squatted down in a fetal position. It made the human appear even smaller than she really was,' but why was she feeling despair she was not the one that is about to die.' I thought, but then I felt the rope tug and whined when it just tightened around my rib cage. "I did this" I heard the human say. 'She did this' I thought, my eyes widening at the information 'as small as she is she was able to take me down so easily…impossible.' Suddenly I got more frustrated 'If she really did do this then why not finish this…finish what she started?" I thought, but she continued on with her little rant "For what… to be a Viking…to suddenly gain people respect, people that don't care about me and hate my guts. I did this."

Suddenly I felt the ropes loosen bit by bit. 'No she couldn't be letting me go! She wouldn't give up the chance to slay a Night Fury could she…this has to be a trick of some type.' I thought panicked. I waited for pain of any type to appear, but I felt nothing. I could only feel the blood circulating through out my whole body with no restraints. I started to whimper in confusion 'Why was she doing this…this was human…she was suppose to be thirsting for dragon blood…she was suppose to be a stone cold killer.' She must have taken my whine as one of pain because she said "I'm sorry, so sorry that you had to suffer because of my ignorance, but its okay now I promise I won't hurt you." Her ignorance…what has she learned in this encounter I was watching her the whole time, what could have enlightened her so much as to make her let me go.

With the last of the ropes cut I lunged at her. I shoved her to the ground pinning her with my paw on her chest my claws barley touching her throat. I watched as she gasped for breath, as she struggled to get away until she still and looked at me once more. 'This human nearly killed me TWICE, but yet she hasn't finished me off she let me go on her own free will why?' I was stuck between anger and confusion. Should I killer her or no? I scrunched my eyes together trying to figure out a solution to my problem.

I was even more confused when the human started to smile. It was not a happy smile, but one filled with sadness and depression. I could smell the salt and see her eyes water, but she refused to shed them, if anything this made her smile more. 'Why does this human smile when she is obviously in pain? Can her life be that horrible?' I slightly scold myself I should not care about why this human does such ridiculous things, but for some reason I do. Her smile was painful even to me and in that moment I knew I could not kill her. She was like me in a way just waiting for death to take us, away from our sad pathetic lives. 'If I had to live this awful life than so does she.' I thought 'However that does not need that she need to be let off so easily.'

I looked at her for a moment finally knowing what I was going to do with this human. I expanded my wings as far back as I could go and opened my mouth revealing my teeth trying to look as intimidating as I could. Yet still she did not flinch, she did not quiver, she seemed to accept her punishment, which she obviously thought it was death.

I rose up slamming my paws into the earth feeling satisfied when it quivered beneath me and unleashed a powerful screech right into the human's ear. I roared for as long and as hard as I could. Once I knew that she would be suffering for a while, I leapt away trying to fly out of the forest, only to find something wrong.

My wings were flapping, but I was only a few feet off the ground, I was unstable. I crashed into a rock cliff and a few trees. I roared in frustration 'Why was I not flying right? Why was I still in the forest and not in the air.' I roared with anger until my wings gave up on me and I crashed into the earth again. 'What is wrong with me' I thought shaking myself off. I brought my wings in front of my to inspect them, there were no tears in the wing itself and it wasn't broken so why was I not flying right. I slammed my tail into the ground to show my frustration only to find something odd about the weight. I brought my tail in front of my to find one of my tail fins gone completely. It wasn't torn or damaged, but completely gone the red blood oozing since there was no skin. Slowly everything started to sink in, 'I could never fly again ever.' I thought, the intensity of the statement shook me to the core. Quickly I looked at my new surroundings and found that I was stuck in a large canyon, there was a pond a few trees scattered in this space. I tried to climb out, but I was to sore and the walls were to steep that without flying I was trapped. That's when I realized that human did not free me, oh no, she might as well have killed me when she had the chance because now I was grounded and trapped.
