Hicca POV:

I was walking through Berks forest looking for the Night Fury, me being me, I had spent the majority of my life wandering in the forest, I am still fascinated with the ways the colours bounce around from dark greens to the light blue from the streams that appear every now and again, its picturesque and its what the majority of my journal, that and the entries.

I shake my head and realise I am getting off task and need to stay focused, I focus my mind on the scents surrounding the place the smell of earth and other animals and then one I have never smelt before, I picture a misty cloud of it and a trail, I follow it passing torn down trees and a deep gash on the surface like something had crashed, I quickened my pace and came to a rock, I stood on top of it and looked down at the creature in front of me.

It was majestic, its black scales were shining and emitting a glow that I thought wouldn't be possible from black, it was sleek and looked like the dragon was designed for speed over anything else, but I noticed the corded muscle underneath the scales, the dragon was well built and looked just as capable of taking down any dragon it wanted, I stared at it taking in its beauty while my brain was whirring in the background thinking of the best way to approach the Night Fury.

I run though every scenario from just walking straight up and taking the risk it snaps its bindings and kills me to using my powers and shifting into my Night Fury form. I plop myself right down behind the rock and think to myself 'Best bet is shifting' I let my head fall into my lap taking a deep breath and think hard of my body becoming larger and skin turning to scales, my body lengthening wings coming from my back and in a sudden bright flash I am on all fours behind the rock hoping for the best, I creep out from behind the rock. I left out a soft growl.

"Hello.." I wait for a response and get one quickly along with a warning growl.

"Back up" I quickly comply not wanting to earn the ire of the Night Fury, I studied him which I was guessing at from the deep growl that sounded very masculine along with the large body frame compared to my small one, again though that might be because I am a runt, I look at how tight the bola is around him and think of how uncomfortable it must be.

"I want to help you but please stay still while I do" I croon wanting to help, it is partially my fault after all. I look on thinking the only way to get him out is with my knife, I wait for a response before I shift.

"Fine" I hear him grunt out, I leave out a quick huff and shift back to my human form, I edge forward until I am right beside him and unsheathe my knife, I see him tense up and whisper

"Shhh shhh shhh, Ill have you out in a sec just stay still so I don't cut you"

"Get away from me you scaleless filth" he growls back

"That's not very nice considering I'm helping you" I respond.

I see him freeze in place which is enough for me and I quickly whip my knife down through the ropes and take a step back, giving him space, he slowly brought himself to his feet and looked at me while tilting his head sideways.

"Thank you" he crooned.

"Your welcome" I replied while giving him a small smile.

He begins to prowl closer to me and I let him, I stay as still as a possible can while being relaxed, I can't help but admire the way he moves, its majestic, every step is calculated and allowing his body to guide him while his mind works in the background.

"What are you..?" he growled out. I looked at him in confusion trying to figure out what he meant until I came to my senses and realised that I was talking to him while out of my dragon form. I just sighed and closed my eyes and thought of what to say. I could lie but that will get me no where as he can tell I am different so might as well settle for the truth.

"I don't know" I stated simply. He looked at me again, I looked into his eyes and noticed that they were a different shade of green to mine almost toxic but to me it just made him look even more beautiful, I shook my head ridding it of the thought and focused back on him.

"It can't be he continued"

"Cant be what" I questioned

"You are the sá útvaldi"

I stared at him wondering what in the name of the gods the Night Fury was on about.

"Mind explaining it" I said

He let out a small huff and continued

"It was told that a girl would come born of human body but with the heart and soul of a dreki, this person would be the living embodiment of all dragon kind benefitting from all of our strengths but none of our weakness, along with this, the person would either be the saviour or the destroyer of dreki kind, and by the will of the gods the person would be able to use the ancient ability of galdur to help accomplish their task" he finished off.

I was lost in my thoughts at the end of it thinking back on my life and reflecting on it, this is the reason for my abilities, I refused to call them powers, it made me think like I was going to use them to get what I want, I was an outcast not because I thought I was different to my tribes people but because I was different.

I thought when he finished this story I would be angry with the gods for this cruelty but, I felt a wave of relief come over me as I finally knew the truth about myself, I let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding in and opened my eyes to look into the dragons and realised that he was looking at me expecting me to faint, scream, cry anything to see if I was frustrated, I stood up and decided to play a small game with him, I took a small step back and he took a giant one forward, my plan had worked perfectly I lunged at him and hugged him around the neck, I felt him tense up under the act but after realising what I was doing he relaxed somewhat.

I let go and looked up into him, I start and say

"Thank you" he looks down at me and I can see on his face that he is wondering why I thanked him

"For telling me who I am" I can see the realisation come to his face and he lowers his head and nuzzles me into the side of my neck, I lean into it savouring the warmth he is giving off, I hear a purr coming from him and I leave a small smile go across my face, I look up at the sky and see that the sun is lowering and is creating a mixture of colours in the clouds, oranges and pinks with deep reds as well it looks beautiful, I wonder what it looks like from the air.

I felt my eyes widen as I pulled away from him and saw the puzzlement on his face.

"Shouldn't you be going back to your home?" I question, it saddens me as I feel like he is a true friend, I thought I saw a look of disappointment on his face and suddenly regretted my words.

"It isn't that I don't like you its just…. you don't have to be stuck here with me on a dragon killing Island" I saw the realisation cross his face and I saw a glint of determination in his eyes, I gulped as I knew that look, Gobber said that it was the look in my eyes when I wanted to make a new invention or prove people wrong, and he would know as I have spent the majority of my life with him, his like the father I never had. I feel my heart drop a bit as my own blood can't treat me like it, yet someone with no relation treats me like their daughter. I perk up remembering I was with the Night Fury now do and remembered the determination.

"I think I will stay" he purred out, I looked at him in shock why would he stay here just for me, " because one it is my duty and would also be an honour to protect and serve for you" I felt my heart plummet again and I looked into his face hoping for something else and thankfully I got it "But also because you are my friend and friends stand by each other". I look at him feeling guilty, I still remember that it is my fault that he got shot out of the sky, I look down and mutter

"Why would you stay when it is my fault", I look back up and see him staring at me wondering what I was on about.

"The reason you got shot down..." I paused "its my fault my invention, I created what shot you down", I looked back up at him and he looked down at me in something I couldn't quite put my finger on, pity, I couldn't quite figure out, but I was stopped when I heard

"Did you use it "

"No but..."

"Did you mean for it to be used against dragons"

"No but still..."

"Then you have nothing to be sorry for, Hicca you are the body of a human but the heart and soul of an alpha, I may not now you for long but, you are kind and caring yet fiercely determined you have nothing to be sorry for"

I looked at him and could feel the tears starting to build up in the corners of my eyes, this Night Fury the most feared dragon of all has been more kind to me than my village has been to my entire life, I buried my head into his chest and let my tears fall freely and choked out

"T-t-t-hh-h-a-a-n-nk y-o-o-u" I could feel his wings move and he encased me in them, I felt time move on and I knew my tears had stopped yet I didn't move I felt safe in his embrace like nothing could get to me, it was something I hadn't felt since my mother was taken, I let out a sigh in content and said to him

"If your going to be staying we need to get you a place to hide" I looked up at his face and could see a questioning look on it.

"Island full of dragon killing Vikings that would kill you without second thought" I let out a small giggle as I saw the realisation on his face he looked cute, his eyes seemed to scrunch up and his snout angled inwards more.

"Come on I will find you a place to stay for the time being and started to move trying to get out of his wings, he wasn't budging, and I looked back up to him and saw a mischievous glint in his yes.

"You aren't walking anywhere"

"Ahh what"

"Were flying, so get on"

"Ok but I aren't getting on now, move back a bit please" I smiled sweetly up to him, he backed up a small bit and let me out of his embrace looking at me wondering what I meant, I thought of my Night Fury form again and embraced it not like I did before but with a new feeling, desire to help a friend and something else that made my stomach do flips and clouded my thoughts but in a good way, I felt my body shifting and after it was done was down on all fours, I noticed a few differences between us, I was smaller but not by much, I was also sleeker.

I looked at him and could see he was sitting down on his back legs with his wings dropped and his mouth hanging open partially, I copied him and sat down waiting for him to come back to his senses to come to him

"Uhm.. ahh. Ughhhh ah yeah, well lets get going" I leave out a small draconic laugh at his stuttering and trot up to him

"Ok come on Mr. Night Fury" and before he can respond I take off, I pump my wings harder and speed up through the forest, I have always loved the feeling of flying the freedom, feeling like I can do everything and go anywhere, in one word it was amazing, it made the world so much smaller, I hear a steady thump of wings behind me and look back to see the Night Fury following, I feel a small draconic grin coming onto my face.

I slow down so he can catch up , I can hear the thumping of his wings and decide to play a trick he pulls up beside me I can hear him take in a breath getting ready to speak, I take a quick dive tucking my tailfins in and wings, heading down towards the forest I open my wings and are dragged behind him, and shooting back up all in the blink of an eye or 2, and pulling up behind him, , I positioned myself right behind him copying him beat for beat watching him swinging his head back and forth trying to figure out where I had went, speed my greatest ally, never one for a straight up fist fight , I let the grin turn into a full toothless smile and barked out

"behind you"

I saw him stop and began to hover mid-air, he did it too quickly for me to notice, I try to slow down but feel the momentum carrying me forward, we go straight at him into his tail and soon after we are both flaying through the air and moments later were both leaving out small whines on the ground tangled in each other's bodies

"That did not go as planned"

Grunting he muttered "You don't say"

I stand up and can feel something heavy on my back, I look back and see him on my back, I grin again and flare my wings out and can see the panic spreading across him, he jumps as quickly as possible, I look around my surroundings and see were in a cove, its beautiful something to admire really and secluded as well to top it all off.

"This would be a good spot for you to stay"

He looks around taking it in

"Yeah it would"

I continue "Before we took off I never got your name"

"Its Toothless.. and before you start asking no it's not a real name dragon don't have them we have nicknames"

"Not as bad as my real name, its Hiccup"

He didn't say anything, I quickly looked up and saw the sun was setting

"Crap I gotta go my dad will be wondering where I am, bye Toothless see you tomorrow"

"See you tomorrow Hiccup"
