Halla point of view:

A Viking riding a dragon unnatural, unthinkable, unimaginable. But here I was riding one, and the sensation was...well...odd. The speed was better than anything I had ever experience, well except for nearly falling to my doom, but just like that time I couldn't really enjoy it when Skulluim's words were echoing in my head. I could hear the Vikings shouts, but it quickly faded into the background and I focused on trying to stay on the dragon while trying not to break down.

The Nightmare was weaving in and out of the forest like nothing and for a moment I was just happy that it didn't try to fly off. 'I would be doomed,' I thought trying to blink the water out of my eyes. 'Its hard enough to hold on right now' I thought tightening my grip on her neck as she crawled over some fallen tree trunks.

Suddenly as fast as the Nightmare was going, it just stopped. It was so instance that even though I was holding on for dear life I was flung off. "Ehhh" I muttered falling on my butt skidding a bit. "Ehh it could have been worse," I muttered sitting up as I as I rubbed my eye trying to keep my voice even. "I could have landed on my shoulder." 'Or worse my head, than again I'm sure every one would be more than happy that if I died or disappeared.' I thought, wrapping my arms around myself.

I couldn't tell the Nightmares expression because it was to dark, but I could still see its silhouette. It was sniffing the ground and than swinging its head in the air as if looking for something. It gave a little roar and started to walk towards me. At one point it was beside me bending down exposing its back to me.

"Uhh its okay I can walk from here on out." The Nightmare stared at me lowering its head to me before snorting. We seemed to have a little stare down which wasn't fair because I couldn't see that well. The moon may have been full, but it only showed so much. After staring at each other, I sighed. 'No point in wallowing in my misery when I haven't finished what I started' I though, standing up.

"Fine you win, but try not to throw me any where." The dragon chuckled, nuzzling my head wiping its nose on my cheek where it caught a stray tear. I petted the dragon's long snout and moved to take my spot on the Nightmares back. After I was sitting on the dragons back the Nightmare speed off again.

It wasn't until we passed a broken tree that I noticed where we were going. Now I was no longer sad, I was panicking. "No no not this way" I said trying to get the Nightmares attention, but it kept its pace. Before I knew it we were standing above the cove.

The moon was being covered so I had no chance of even seeing Toothless. However the Nightmare seemed to know that Toothless was here. 'Why did it come here?' I thought, "Did it pick up Toothless scent? But why…why would she come for Toothless." Different thoughts and questions were starting to form in my head, only to be interrupted by a blue purple fireball and the jerky movement of the Nightmare.

The Nightmare scaled down the wall of the cove, and as the clouds parted and light filled the cove. I saw that Toothless was ready to attack, leaping off the Nightmare as fast as I could I rushed to Toothless. "Toothless no" I shouted, running towards him. His eyes were menacing like he was ready to go for the kill. It scared me, I had seen Toothless defeated, upset, happy, cautious, playful, but never ever had I seen him this bloodthirsty not even when he had me pinned at out first meeting.

"Its okay Toothless it's me…it's me" I say my voice coming over quiet and meek. I was standing in front of him, debating whether to touch him or not. I was scared not for me, but for the Nightmare. However I couldn't help, but tense at the situation. It was like even after everything Toothless and I have been through I still didn't know him as well as I thought I did. I never thought that Toothless could be like this and the worse part was that it was my fault that he was like this. I couldn't stop the Nightmare from coming here and now Toothless was angry and the Nightmare might get hurt. 'Other thing I did wrong' I thought, trying to defuse the situation.

That's when I heard heavy footprints shifting behind me. I turned around to see that the Nightmare had stepped forward. Toothless looked past me and he seemed to freeze as the Nightmare gave a dry chuckle. Although Toothless had stopped growling, his body was still tense. I started to shift uncomfortably beside him, as the two dragons seem to take each other in.

He looked at me his eyes worried and it just reminded me of everything I had put him through. I took his flight away. I made him depressed. I burdened him with my problems. I made him worry and care about me. Now to top it all off I had made him bloodthirsty mad. 'Maybe Skulluim and the village is right I am useless.' I thought, as I felt my emotion swallowing me whole. I couldn't breathe; it was just too much to deal with in one night.

As Toothless kept looking at me with worry and concern I felt guiltier. "I'm sorry…I didn't…know where else…to…go and…and…she needed….help I couldn't just…leave her." I was trying to regain my composure, but it was getting harder to breathe.

As I gave a gaspy breath Toothless turned from me to growl at the Nightmare, giving a short roar. I flinched at the sound, it didn't sound like Toothless' normal roar when play fighting or even the screech of warning he used to give during the raid.

I watched as the Nightmare tried to get closer to me, but it stopped as Toothless gave a furious snarl. I flinched at the intensity. 'I need to calm down, nothing good comes from me being a cry baby.' I thought, clenching my hands as I tried to regulate my breath.

The Nightmare was seemed to look at us and than nodding to Toothless walked away from us to go sit on the other side of the cove. As I stood there looking at the Nightmare, Toothless started to nudge me the other way. After we got to the other end of the cove Toothless lied down like he always did. Wing adjusted and body curled in a comfy pillow that he always was. But I had to ask.

"Toothless are you mad at me" my voice was even, but quiet. I wondered if Toothless could actually hear me. Toothless looked at me and when he shook his head, I released the breath I didn't know I was holding. He cooed at me and I felt better. I didn't feel like as much as a screw up even though I knew that I was the reason Toothless' mood swinging were because of me. Eventually I sat down against him, his tail wrapping itself around me. I snuggled in deeper into Toothless' side and as Toothless' tail was resting in my lap I felt safe.

Toothless nudged my cheek and when he pulled away I lifted my own hand to my cheek, remembering my tear-stained face. 'Is this why he was upset? Is he upset because I was crying…was he trying to protect me is that why he got menacing.' I gave a small smile 'and here I am suppose to be training to protect you.' I thought wiping my cheeks and eyes to get rid of any stray tears.

"Sorry Toothless I got overemotional again and started crying, but the Nightmare didn't do anything. I just" I gave a small smile "I'm just causing problems again, but don't worry she didn't do anything." He rubbed my face again and this time I gave a real smile and stared to scratch him beneath his neck.

I was glad that Toothless wasn't mad at me, but I just couldn't forget his tantrum. But I felt safe near Toothless and I wouldn't have it any other way. It was so nice and comforting that after the day I had, exhaustion hit me. Before I knew it I was falling asleep to the small growls and roars of Toothless.
