thought '...'

speaking "..."

Toothless/Alastor's point of view:

Halla was fast asleep at my side, the fire helping to keep her warm. At time she would snuggle deeper, but for the most part she was asleep no nightmare in sight.

"You gave me a fright out there," Herradura said, lying down in front of the cave right on the fire. "At first I thought it was a miracle that you were flying and than to see Halla on your tail." She shook her head. "Gave me one of the biggest fright of my life."

I looked down suddenly feeling guilty. "I didn't know she was hanging on. When she first put this thing on," I said lifting my tail to show the contraption that Halla left on me. "I just went slacked jaw when I suddenly felt the weight of my old tail fin. I didn't even think of Halla. I just jumped at the chance to sky again. When I went into a nose dive I panicked wondering what was wrong, but when I was flying actually flying nothing matter to me, but staying in the sky."

"She was calm for the most part…well that was until you flung her into the sky and you crashed."

"It was her screaming that scared me…I had shifted direction to make sure she was alright after flinging her off. I didn't think about how she would suddenly feel going into free fall, I just wanted her sage on your back. But when this thing suddenly stopped working I just did my best to land in the pond rather than another tree." I admitted looking down at the top of Halla's head.

Herradura chuckled "I thought that girl was going to jump in after you. You really gave her a fright when you didn't resurface."

This time I smiled "She can't stay mad at me for very long, especially when I'm just playing with her."

"Just like you can't seem to stay mad at her." I looked down feeling embarrassed.

"Hey you nearly gave her a panic attack when she noticed that you weren't here. She worries over you just the same." I defended thinking back to earlier when she was pacing the cove, a worried expression on her face.

Herradura just chuckled "I'm a grown dragon I've lived longer than that girl could possibly imagine and she's worried about me."

"She's an odd girl," I said, tightening my wing over her "But part of what makes her great is that she cares."

"True, but what about that contraption."

"What about it?" I asked, suddenly feeling defensive.

"It seemed to only work when Halla was operating it." I looked at her as if asking her what exactly was the problem. "The invention she created for you although it helps you fly can only work with her help. Which means your bond to her? You won't be able to leave or fly without Halla."

"Your worried about me depending on her"

"No I'm worried that your being bond to her against your will."

I gave a chuckle "Herradura I was bonded to this girl far before the make of this contraption."

There was a pause before Herradura laughed "Who would have thought that Alastor the sole survivor of his clan would willingly allow himself to be bonded to a human hatchling the heir to our enemy." She laughed again "Oh the ancient ones have an odd sense of humor."

"I may be bond to Halla, but what about you?"

"What do you mean?" she asked tilting her head.

"You went out hunting, but that took you all day. Your wounds are still healing, so you can't make it very far flying and there is no way that you would survive going back to the Queen's lair. So what are you going to do when your all healed?"

Herradura stretched her head looking at the sky. She just stared for a moment before turning her head back to me. "I don't know. Staying so close to Vikings doesn't appeal to me, but staying here with you and Halla would be a nice life." She paused for a moment "I'm not sure Alastor…knowing the Queen she'll send Vulfiend to scourer the earth for us until we're dead."

"Then we'll just have to fight" I said a snarl on my face claws extended.

"Alastor that battle would be disasters. I'm to old to weak to fight Vulfiend, and if you ever meet up with him he has experience, ruthlessness, and flight on his side."

I dug my claws in deeper into the ground "He may be a monster, but I want revenge that has to count for something."

Herradura shook her head at me "It may count, but not as much as you think. Revenge is a very dangerous game Alastor, one that you have to be careful with or it will consume you."

"Vulfiend killed my family, but he also killed Halla's mother. She wants revenge against him just like I do."

Now there was a sad smile on her face. "It would seem fate bonded you long before you actually meet." She was staring me straight in the eye, and it made me feel like a scolded hatchling.

"Fate can only take you so far. At some point we have to take our life into our own hands." I said, slowly easing my claws out of the ground.

"I suppose so, but if you are planning on taking on Vulfiend you're going to need an ally."

"Are you saying you'll stay?" I asked hopeful. Although I was used to being alone and fending for myself, Herradura tried to make the lair bearable tried to give me a life other than being the Queen's minion, but a hellhole could only be made so comfortable.

"I'm saying its time you grew up without the Queen or Vulfiend's poison in you. I'll stay just to make sure you two don't do anything stupid. Especially since Halla is going to help you fly, someone is going to have to try and save you if you decid to do another crash landing."

I laughed "Thanks Herradura what would I do without you?"

"Probably would have killed yourself trying to protect Halla from a crash landing."

"That's not funny," I said thinking of how possible that outcome could have been.

"Wasn't meant to be" was all she said as she got up "Goodnight Alastor."

"Goodnight Herradura." I said, waiting for a while until I curled myself around Halla.
