Toothless point of view

It was getting late and Halla still hadn't come to the cove.

"Relax Alastor Halla will be here soon" said Herradura as she tries to take in as much of the sunrays as she could before darkness falls.

"Something just doesn't feel right," I muttered starting to pace even though my legs were protesting. Training with Herradura was getting better, but I was still sore. The old dragon was a liar she was more than capable of taking care of herself.

Herradura snorts "We are on an island full of humans that wish to kill us running from the Queen and Vulfiend when did anything start feeling right."

"The only time Halla is late is if something went wrong," I hissed suddenly very agitated. 'First Vulfiend, than you showing up, and her being upset.' I thought, pacing again.

Herradura shakes her head "I'm glad that you have something you wish to protect, but you need to calm down. Halla has as much experience dealing with dragons than we do with humans. You are going to frighten her if you don't calm down."

"Halla won't run away from me," I roared, something unsettling moving around in my heart.

"You obviously didn't see her face the first night I came here than. You were so angry the human hatchling was shaking like a leaf." I tense trying to think back to that night, but only remembering the terror and anger running through me when I thought that Halla was with Vulfiend.

As I was about to retort I could hear the sound of footsteps. I sighed in relief as I recognized the scent. No more than a few minutes, Halla was at the entrance of the cove. Like usual she lowered the food down, but something else was strapped on top of the basket it was oddly shaped and brown however before Halla climbed down she brought down a smaller basket and I knew this one didn't have food in it. I watched; as Halla climbed down she seemed tired her eyes red and her posture slouched. She did not seem okay, my shoulder's tensed wondering what could have happened now.

I walked over to her ignoring the food. I nudged her face with my face and I could smell the salt on her face. She had been crying, my claws extended and I tried my best not to react, but I must have failed because Herradura was coming over no doubt noticing the changes in Halla's smell and appearance. We stood in front of her our faces close to hers.

"I'm alright you two," she said, petting both our faces. "I just…I just had some thinking to do is all…there is no need to worry." I could tell that she was hiding something, but Halla would tell me if it was urgent.

"Anyways I brought some food and I have something for you" she exclaimed suddenly the sadness in her face gone excitement making her eyes brighter. I tilted my head and watched as she scurried back to the basket picking up the brown object on top.

She came back towards me showing me a saddle. "This way I have something to hold on to when we go flying" she exclaimed proud of the saddle. I gave a grunt I was not a horse I was not wearing a saddle, but she seemed so happy when she showed it to me.

As she got closer I crouched down. She groaned "Come on Toothless don't be difficult." I smirked to myself I knew I was going to have to put on the saddle if I wanted Halla to be safe while we were flying, but that doesn't mean I have to make it easy for her.

As she got closer I started to run away her chasing after me the saddle above her head as she tried to catch me. Although my legs were sore I still had enough energy for this. Herradura looked as us with amusement chuckling to herself.

Halla stopped running "You could help me you know" she say turning towards Herradura who just chuckled shaking her head. As I stopped running walking behind Halla she turned and leaped at me. "Gotcha" she said, grabbing me from my neck dropping the saddle in her sudden launch. I was so startled I jumped back on my hind legs. Before I knew it Halla was scratching my neck and under my chin and just like before I dropped to the floor in a pile of purrs. She chuckled, as I lay limp on the ground content.

"Why do you always have to be so difficult" she murmured laughing to herself. She picked up the saddle again and I allowed her to put it on me. It left weird wearing the contraption even though it surprisingly fit. "Doesn't look to bad" I heard Halla walking behind me messing with the tail fin she had left on me to get used to the weight. As the scratching effect started to wear off I could hear Halla attaching something to the tail fin. "It could use a few more adjustments another latch here maybe a another band here." She mutters looking over the equipment. I try not to show how uncomfortable I am. I know that everything on me was necessary to let me fly and keep Halla safe, but it still felt unnatural.

"What do you say Toothless want to give it a shot before it's completely dark" she asks excitement in her voice her body shaking slightly.

I nod my head in agreement wondering if I could truly fly with all this on me. She hesitated when she was beside me just as uncomfortable saddling me than I was with the saddle actually on me. She took a deep breath and cautiously mounted the saddle trying to position herself on it. I shifted my shoulder fiddling with my wings trying to get the weight right before flight. She extended the tail and I leaped into the air. We stayed nice in low not wanting a repeat our last time.

I could feel her shifting above me and was trying to adjust myself to her movements however with a sharp tug coming from my tail. I was suddenly shifted to the left as Halla was thrown ahead of me. We both landed in the water splashing. As I surfaced I could hear Halla muttering an apology. We both walked to shore me shaking off as Halla started to ring out her clothes. "Hmm I need something to strap me down" I could here her mutter. "Scarlet can you do me a favor please" she asked turning towards Herradura.

Herradura roared stepping closer to Halla. "Can you get some wood please I'm going to need some light." Halla asked. Herradura looked at Halla her head titled in confusion, but she did was she asked and disappeared form the cove. Halla smiled and started to walk towards the smaller basket she brought down. After placing the basket in the middle of the cove she came over to me inspecting the saddle I could hear her muttering to herself. After a moment of walking around me and tugging and pulling at different parts of the saddle she turned to face me and said "Sorry this is going to take some trail and error." I cooed nudging her hand trying to show my support.

She began to take my saddle off and my tail fin. The minute she took the saddle off I started to pur stretching out my back and shoulders. Halla laughed as she walked away. I watched as she laid out the objects on the ground and began to take things out of her basket. It looked like tools.

Before long Herradura was coming back with a larger dry log in her mouth. She landed in the cove softly dropping the log of the ground before she began to stomp on it making it easier to make a smaller fire. "Thanks Scarlet" said Halla walking away from her equipment to scratch Herradura's cheek showing her appreciation.

"Its always nice to be appreciated" mutter Herradura. I only rolled my eyes and Halla seemed to laugh. It was odd sometimes Halla seemed like she could actually understand what we said; it was comforting, but also a little strange.

Halla began to make small pile of fire around the saddle and tail fin. They were all little, but made a perfect circle. "Do you guys mind," she asks pointing towards the little pile of wood. With no hesitation we both lit all of the small pits. "Thank you" she said kneeling down by her tools and the equipment the area nicely light for her to work. "Toothless why don't you go eat now," She says not looking up from her work.

I did as she asked and pulled the basket of food closer to her sitting right outside the fire as I ate. It was odd to see Halla work, I mean I have always seen the final project, but it was something else to actually see Halla work. She looked so intently at the saddle and fin never actually grabbing any tools until she seemed to work everything out in her head. She was so focused on her work that it seemed like nothing else mattered. Her face scrunched up for a moment examining the tail fin. For a moment she sat down doing nothing, but staring at the equipment. She took a deep breath and for a second she closed her eyes. Her hands moving as if she was actually working on the equipment, she paused for a moment her hands stilling a smile graced her lips and her eyes snapped open with determination. Without hesitation she began to grab her tools and work on the saddle and tail fin.

She just sat there focused solely on her equipment. Never lifting her head not even to grab another tool she just felt around never getting distracted. It was amusing to watch and I could tell that Herradura agreed. As it got darker and the fires started to die out, we both started to add more wood into the fire sometimes relighting them, but Halla never noticed. I watched as she added new things to the saddle not really sure what there purpose was for, but Halla seemed happy with it.

She worked well into the night Herradura and I watching Halla, as she seemed to get tired her eyes dropping a bit her hands suddenly dropping things. Herradura gave a small roar to wake her up. She started to rub her eyes, looking over the equipment before shaking her head.

"I'm pretty sure this won't work either, but what do you say we try it in the morning Toothless." She says smiling at me. I gave a roar and Halla smile placing all her tools away in the basket and placing the equipment on the ground carefully examinging it once again.

She walked over to me and I curled myself extending my wing. She curled up next to me like she always does and I could still see her smiling. "We are so close Toothless I just know it." She muttered cuddling in further into my side. I closed my wings over her. It wasn't long until I noticed that she had fallen asleep.

"You better prepare yourself for some crash landing" said Herradura looking down at us.

"It won't be that bad" I muttered looking at the equipment one last time. "Besides it necessary."

"Lets just try not to land in the water anymore the seasons are growing colder and she may get sick staying out in the open in wet clothes. I'm surprised she hasn't already. Than again" says Herradura her voice getting playful "she's always had you to warm her up."

I gave a snort curling tighter to Halla. "Goodnight Herradura"

"Goodnight Toothless" she said with another playful grin. I gave her a bored look before ignoring it and getting some rest for tomorrow.

The day had just started, small rays of light entering the cove and I could feel something twitching at my side. "Open up" I heard Halla say from under my wing. I groaned not wanting to wake up; it was far too early to be up even for a dragon.

I lifted my wing and Halla jumped up noticing that it was first light she started to jump in place. "You ready Toothless" I groaned curling back into myself. "Aww come on Toothless one try and then we are done I just want to see what I would need to modify." I groan again and Halla is pulling on my wing. "Please" she begs tugging a little harder. I groan, but start to stand up. She squeals muttering a thank you as she beings to grab the gear.

She starts to put it on me, and although it's still uncomfortable to wear I try not to fidget. "Almost done," she says attaching the tails she attached something to herself leg, but I was too tired to notice what it was. I lower myself to the ground waiting for her to get on. Halla barely weighed anything so as long as she was centered she didn't throw off my balance flying. She cautious getting on still, but extends the tail wing.

I take off slowly to not scare her as I head higher trying to get away from the pond remembering Herradura's words. As we get higher and out of the cove nothing seems wrong. However right as I went into a slightly higher climb the tail wing seemed to shut because I could feel myself start to fall. Halla was shifting her weight and then with a sudden jerking motion the wing over extended itself and I was crashing forward.

I put out my front paws trying to soften the fall, but just like last time she skidded forward and I was on the ground. I twitched my noise, something soft surrounding me. I smelled the tall grass that I was in and it smelled divine. Before I knew it I was rolling around in it purring. I was trying to envelope myself in this smell. I purred louder as I twisted and turned the saddle in the way. I could hear Halla muttering about her belt breaking and the saddle, but to be honest I wasn't listening. I could hear Halla laughing. I stopped or at least tried to, I watched as Halla started to grab some of the tall grass walking over to me and rubbing it in my face. I purred even louder getting to my feet as she rubbed it on my neck.

"Well now I know what to do to make you happy" she laughs rubbing the grass under my chin.

I wanted to stop I really did I wanted to appear like the dangerous dragon I was suppose to be, but the grass was just so nice. Halla stopped and I whined.

She chuckled before standing up "Come on we have to get back I have to get back to the village before anyone notices I'm gone and I gave to grab some new materials." I roar in disappointment, but stood up anyways. We weren't that far from the cove so Halla got on my back again and we ran back to the cove not wanting anyone to see us whether it was a human or dragon. Although I did notice Halla take some tall grass with her before we left.
