Dragon's Point of View

It was almost mid-day when I heard a plopping sound hit the floor. For a moment I didn't want to open my wings, but the shuffling of rocks and the scent of fish started to fill the cove. Without opening my wings I knew that it was the little human girl climbing the ledge. Her weight seemed off and her steps seemed louder, but it wasn't enough to open my wings yet. 'I don't' want to wake up yet' I thought, but after a few minutes of shuffling and a huff with a thump I knew that she was now on the ground of the cove.

I heard her take some deep breaths. 'She sounds tired' so I decided to peek out of my wings now. She was still on the floor, until she stood up straight with a basket on her back. 'She brought me more food…but its cod…oh well.' After she straightens up she looks around the cove noticing me on the tree still sleeping. She points to the pile of fish that was closer to the wall, which must have been what I heard falling in the cove. "I brought you some food," she said. I stare at her for a minute before deciding to ignore her and wrapped myself back up in my wings. I heard her sigh and hear the shuffling of feet. More shuffling and than a little plump thump a soft sigh soon follows and I could hear her steady kicks in the water, but after a moment it was completely quiet.

I reopened my wings and noticed that the human was asleep. I slowly dropped myself from the tree, stretching before I walked over to the girl. 'Stupid your going to get sick with your feet in the water so close to winter' I thought; walking past her to the food she dropped. 'More fish…I guess I shouldn't complain she is after all feeding me.' As I lowered my head to eat, the corner of my eyes caught movement. I lifted my head to see the human girl twitching. At first it was a settle movement just a flick of her hand than a twitch of her head. I walked over to stand over her for a moment.

The human wore a puzzled look on her face, as if she was trying to solve a problem in her dreams. Her eyes twitched, nose scrunching up for a moment before her face appeared angry. Than as fast as her movement started they stopped altogether. In one moment her face went blank and her chest stop moving, for a moment she seemed dead rather than sleeping. I watched as her skin paled and than she lips parted in a harsh in take of breath came out. "NO…wake…up." Her voice was raspy and that's when her movements became rapid. She shook violently, thrashing around in her sleep. Panic taking over her face, her fist clenched as they are thrown on the ground again and again. Her teeth bite down on her lip, and she starts to make these pain filled noises. 'What is she dreaming about' I thought, taking a step back as the girl twists and turns on the floor. I didn't know what to do and I was growing worried for this human girl. 'Why should I care what happens to this human girl?' "Mom" she says twisting her head side to side as if looking for her. 'What happened to your mother human?' Soon dread started to overcome me, my own pain starting to resurface at the mention of a mother."Mom…Night…Fury…" 'Me is she dreaming about me?' I thought, taking a step closer. The girl's eyes were clenched tight her breath coming out short puffs. "Mom…stay…don't leave…mom" her voice started to become louder and her thrashing was increasing. 'What do I do…what do I do?' I looked the girl over, trying to figure out how to stop her thrashing. I could feel panic growing inside me as her thrashing seemed to get more violent. "MOMMY" with her last shout, I did the only thing I knew how. I roared.

I roared for as long and as hard as I could, which seemed to do the trick. The girl jumped a couple of inches off the floor, her feet jumping out of the water. Her position seemed stiff and she seemed alert to everything. Her eyes were wide and she was gasping for air. Her hands were not only clench, but also shaking. Soon the shaking seemed to spread to her arms and than her shoulders. Her head was hanging low and for the longest time I thought she was crying, but I heard no sniffling and saw no tears. "Ruu" I cooed. She lifted up her head and I could see the misery deep in her green eyes. All she did was look at me and for some reason I could not see the human girl that has visited me for the past couple of days. I could not see the girl that has feed me, entertained me, cursed me, and save me. This thing in front of me was a doll hollow and cold. 'It scares me.' I nudged her with my nose, making some more cooing and purring noises.

For a while she seemed to be recovering herself. She was taking deep breaths and unclenching her hands, releasing her self from her stiff position. She was looking down again and I tapped her shoulder again. I need to know that she was still here. "I…'m ok..ay" her voice shook like a leaf, it was horsed and raspy just like when she was dreaming. 'Your not okay you stupid girl' As I watched her trying to compose herself, I watched as she tried to put a smile on her face. I just stared at her trying to figure out why she smiles when she is clearly in pain. 'Why does this human hide behind such a thing? What does she have to gain by hiding behind that face expression' I thought, tilting my head. 'What is it that shook this girl to her core?' The girl was still recovering from her shock, her breathing still a bit ragged. "Why did she mention a Night Fury?' Although I know dragons were involved in her dream I could not see any anger or mistrust in her eyes when she finally looked at me. "R..ea..lly I'm ok…ay" 'LIAR' I thought, not taking my eyes off of her. "D…id y…ou eat." Now I was completely shocked. She wakes up from a nightmare something that has greatly disturbed her and she is concerned on whether or not I have eaten.

'What a strange human she is…what a stranger Viking.' She seemed to peer over my shoulder and notice the basket and pile that has been left untouched. I watched as she struggled to lift herself off the ground. Her knees were shaky at best and she swayed side to side. I saw as she started to sway too much forward. Without thinking I raised my tail underneath her small frame. She was so light 'Does this girl even eat', and with the after affects of the nightmare she seemed even more fragile than ever. For a moment we just stayed like that. I could feel her shaking form as she tightened her grip on my tail and I could feel her shaky intake of deep breathes as she tilted her head to examine my tail fin. A glimpse of misery glazed over her eyes as she found her footing and stood in front of me. Her hands were still on my tail, she squeezed one last time before patting it and letting go. Her hands fell limply at her sides, and for a moment she just stood there eyes closed and breathing. Her face was titled towards the ground, but as she opened her eyes she smiled. However her eyes still seemed lost. "Come on why don't you eat something" smiling she walked over to the pile of fish that I was about to eat before I got…distracted. She sat down a foot from the pile of fish watching as I walked over to her.

For some reasons I was irritated. I hated that damn smile on her face. 'She is hurting inside and yet she smiles like nothing is wrong it's not right…it's not natural.' I thought, finally reaching the pile of discarded fish. I stopped in front of the pile sitting in front of it, as I turned my head to watch the girl. She was looking up in the sky, probably watching the different colors in the sky mix into one. The yellow, oranges, and the little hints of purple. Although it was still light out the outline of the moon was already out. I cooed again and although I tried to sound non-threatening the girl still jumped. She smiled again "what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the fish?" 'That's all she can say…is she just gonna pretend that nothing happened.' This time I growled my eyes narrowing with my irritation. I noticed that the girl looked fearful for a split second. 'She had the same look on her face when I had jumped at her after she freed me.' For a moment her body tensed and she scoot back until her back was firmly placed on the wall. "So I guess you don't like cod" her voice shook and I could smell the slight fear in the air, but she didn't stand and make a run for it. 'A joke really at a time like this' I grunted at her and opened my mouth feeling my teeth extend from my gums before slowly eating the cod.

There was an uncomfortable silence in the air and I blamed it on the human girl. "Thanks." I tuned my head to face the girl swallowing the cod that was in my mouth. I tilted my head at her. "Thank you for waking me up" another one of those damn smiles "I really wanted to wake up, but sometimes I just can't." She was still pressed against the wall, but her knees were brought up to her chest as she places her chin on knees, her arms encircle her knees. Her position reminded me of when we first met when she was muttering to herself about letting me go. "Sometimes I can jolt myself awake, but other times Gobber…Gobber is usually there to make all the bad things go away…Gobber was no is always there for me and now because I find out he was hiding something from me I…I don't know if I can trust him…but is it right to question his trust just because he did one bad thing? Should I just forget about all the good things he has done for me…" she was ranting, her lip were starting to tremble, but before I could see if she was crying she buried her head in her knees. "But if it only takes one bad thing to make a person unforgivable than I guess I wouldn't be here right now" She lift her head a bit just so I can see her eyes.

After staring at her for a while I realized what she was talking about…well at least the last part I had no idea who Gobber is. However I knew that she was talking about us. 'She doesn't believe that I should have forgiven her for hurting me…well for doing more than that. She doesn't believe that she should be forgiven for taking away my ability to fly…I don't entirely understand it either. I should hate this girl with every fiber of my being, but I can't she is just as broken as I am.' I thought, watching as the girl's shoulder start to shake. I walked over to stand in front of her. Her head still tucked in her head. I cooed and she slowly lifted her head. Again we just stared at each other and I was relieved that she didn't try to smile off her sadness again. Instead something else passed across her face something I can't name.

She unwound one of her arms and lifted it in front of me. Unlike last time though she left her hand in mid air allowing me to decided whether I wanted to be pet or not. 'I wasn't a pet…I'm not some pathetic dog that needs a master…I am a dragon…but I can no longer fly so I guess that makes me an over sized reptile…but I still have my pride. However this girl isn't condemning her to a life of a slave or worse a pet. She is asking for my friendship for my forgiveness. As I learn to trust her she must learn to trust me. We are equals…both hurt…both broken…both searching for something more. Maybe we are just fated to be together?' With these thoughts swirling in my head I placed my face in her hand, taking in a deep breath of her scent. It was like rain or maybe an early fog in the mountains. As I retreated my head I watched as she lifted her head completely. A real smile appearing on her face, one that I would enjoy seeing more of. "Halla" she said, her smile getting bigger "That's my name… Halla." I cooed again 'If only you could understand dragon speech I would present you with my own name.' I thought, suddenly looking down. "Night Fury" I lifted my head. The girl…no Halla seemed to squirm under my gaze "Do dragons have names?" she waited for me to confirm or deny this, so I nodded my head "Night Fury is the only name I know you by is that what you want to be called?" 'She's giving me a choice…so she doesn't see me as a pet…I'm glad.'

I can feel a slight tug at my lips as if I was almost smiling, "Night Fury" and now my smile was gone as I growled as she called me by that title. Night Fury was the name a Viking gave us to describe us. It was a generalization of my kin and I did not like it. I am more than just a Night Fury. I am the only surviving Night Fury of my clan, I have a name, a name my own mother gave to me. 'My mother' before my thoughts could dwell on my past Halla's voice spoke out. "Okay I'll take that as a no…how about…hmm…Toothless." I growled again opening my mouth to reveal that I do in fact have teeth. She only giggled. "I know you have teeth, it's a joke" I shook my head "Ah come on Toothless is suppose to be a funny name, it is suppose to be a nickname after all and nicknames are funny." I shook my head not liking the name or the meaning behind it. "Come on Toothless please." Halla was begging her hands clamped together. I could only stare at her, she seemed so happy giving me a nickname. Does this mean we are friends? After looking at her face for a while and seeing her so happy I gave in and nodded my head.

"YAhhh Toothless" she jumped from her sitting position and to my surprise wrapped her arms around my neck. I tensed at this movement because when dragons fight they always go for the neck, but I calmed when I realized this wasn't an attack and I could hear her mummers of thanks. 'Something so simple as giving me a nickname makes her so happy, but yet she buries her pain behind these simple pleasures, I wonder why she can't just show how she really feels…but than again I couldn't either. To show sadness is to show weakness and the Queen would never allow such a thing in her hive.'

Suddenly Halla's arm loosened and she steps back. She seemed to be contemplating something as she watched me. Slowly so I could see her movement she raised her hand to my face again. Like last time she stopped before getting to close giving me the option of being touched by her or not. Like last time I slowly leaned in to her touch, just watching her. When I finally reached her hand something in her eyes had changed. She was no longer sad, no longer a hollow doll, she was happy, but more importantly she was determined. "One day I will find out your real name this I promise…it may take a while, but I will find out your name. Just like I swear that I some how some way I will get you back in the sky."

My eyes widen as her words set in. She was making big promises ones that I didn't want to put to much faith in because even though I was starting to like this girl, she was only a child. She could not live up to such promises, but as I looked into her eyes I believed that she would one day fulfill these promises. "I know I'm a screw up, I know I'm useless, but I promise you Toothless I will keep you safe and I will make you happy." She was young and from what I can gather seen as weak to the Vikings, but to me she was my savior my friend and for some reason I found myself trusting her.

Maybe our fates are just tied together? Maybe destiny placed us together? For whatever reason I was tied to Halla and I wouldn't have it any other way.
