Chapter 1: The Raid.
A/N: Hello Everybody! This idea is like one of those fanfictions from Toothless's POV, and those human toothless fanfictions combined. Meaning this is the movie HTTYD from Toothless' POV, except all the dragons are human and all the humans are dragons. Now let's get started with the story shall we. Of course, it wouldn't be a How to train your Dragon Fanfiction without some Narration...
Deep in the arctic waters of the past there is a small quiet island. On this island there are many hills with grassy plains, but also mountains with rocky caves. The island was full of very few animals, but very useful animals as well. There were Yaks, chickens, but also lots of sheep. We had to constantly venture over to this island to hunt for food.
"This, is Berk. It's twelve days north of hopeless, and a few degrees south of freezing to death. It's located solidly on the meridian of misery." I was thinking,
"In a word, sturdy. It's been here for several generations, but every single nest is new."
"It has fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problems are the predators. You see, most places have bears or coyotes. We have..."
I was snapped out of my thought as my hunting troop advanced a field of grazing sheep. One of the leading warriors ran through the field and grabbed the sheep before running back. The sheep that were with the one that was just taken didn't do anything to alert the others, they simply just took the spot where their comrade was grazing the moment before. We had to grab as much food as possible before going back home; we didn't have any food there.
While the warriors swept through grabbing as much sheep as possible, a small green dragon poked his head out of his cave. The warrior that was gathering the sheep saw him and charged at the small dragon to prevent it from warning the others. The warrior threw his spear, which bounced off the stone floor of the cave as the small dragon ran away behind a rock for safety. The dragon didn't do anything; the warrior had given himself away.
"Dragons..." a boy with black hair dressed in all back said under his breath as he hid in the darkness. That's me by the way, in case you were wondering. Suddenly dragons flooded out from the caves to attack them. The dragons hated the humans that stole the animals from their island, A.K.A us. The dragons came at my troop, blasting their fireballs and pouncing on us to bite our heads off.
"Most people would look for another island." I thought as I avoided the crossfire, "Not us. We're Vikings. We have stubbornness issues." Suddenly, a dragon roared into a cave opening, which probably echoed throughout the entire cave system, and every dragon that wasn't out yet was out now.
My name's Toothless. Great name, I know. But it's not the worst. Parents believe a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls. "Like our charming Viking demeanor wouldn't do that." I thought sarcastically, suddenly a warrior ran pass me and somehow spotted me from where I was hiding. "Aghhhh!" he shouted as he charged a dragon, "Mornin'" he said waving to me. I frantically tried to tell him not to point me out, but I had to find a new hiding spot. I needed to get to work on my job.
Dragons flew over top of us shooting fire down from the sky as a tactic to delay or possibly kill us. Yet none of them knew I was there. They all feared me. Yes, my dad was the leader who would fight all the big dragons but he mostly acted as a diversion. I was the real threat.
One of the fireballs landed in a dragon's nest setting it ablaze. I chuckled to myself, "See? Old nesting ground, lots and lots of new nests." I watched as a band of adolescent dragons swarmed over the fire, repeatedly flapping their wings until the fire was extinguished. Even the little green dragon from earlier wanted to join them, but a lame yellow dragon pulled him back into the cave by its tail.
I watched as the little green dragon got into a fight with the bigger yellow dragon that was missing a few limbs by doing a form that looked like begging. While I was preoccupied a fireball that shot out of the cave nearly missed my ear and hit a man behind me. In a demonstration to prove himself the little dragon shot fire out of the cave, only to hit one of the other dragons. I couldn't help but laugh as the two dragons started screeching at each other.
My laughter revealed my position to the other vikings who were fighting beside me.
"Toothless, what are you doing?" said one,
"Shouldn't you be working?" said another,
"Get back to work!" They all shouted. So, I got back on track and ran through the shadows cast by the flames.
As I passed my father he shouted, "I was beginning to wonder where you were, get to work!" However I was already gone. My fellow tribe members complained that I spent too much time hiding instead of doing my job. Apparently my job was really important. It's not like there weren't other jobs out there.
There were the foot soldiers, which fought the common dragons and did most of the food collecting. Then, there were the heavily armored soldiers who fought with maces against the tougher dragons like Gronkles. Then there were the tag teams, separately they were pretty useless but together they were unstoppable. They worked together to cover more ground. Then there were the people like my dad, they went after the alpha dragons. These dragons were tough, unlike the heavily armored soldiers' dragons, his were more dangerous and hard to defeat.
Then there's me. No one ever sees me. I deliberately try to make myself well hidden and discrete. I always opt out of stealing food on these hunting missions and I make sure not to show myself. I cover myself in black clothing as to make it easier to hide in the night. Yet, all the dragons know of me. I was a fury in the night. I was basically the army's explosive expert. I carried around fourteen yak bladders full of oil with me at a time, and with the dragons constantly breathing fire it's a guaranteed secret weapon.
I pelted one of my oil sacks at a dragon nest, and as soon as a dragon shot a fireball that only skimmed the dragon nest it was soon a bonfire. The nest fell from its alcove on a cliff face in front of a cave opening leaving them temporarily defenseless. I smiled. Sometimes, if I wanted to be cruel I would pelt my oil at the dragons themselves, making them a little less tolerable to fire. It's not like I liked killing dragons, but seeing as they felt no remorse for us I saw no remorse for what I did to them...As long as it helped my troop out.
I also had a glider. It was a nifty gift from my dad for all my hard work in the field. It helped me to pelt oil at things higher off the ground, and helped me get around faster in battle. I think it was a way for my dad to make sure I stayed safe.
I opened my glider and glided over to the higher nests and fired one of my sacks at them. I sat there and waited for a foolish dragon to fire at me so they would set their nest a blaze. A dragon did happen to spot me in the nest, and in an outburst of rage fired right at me. Luckily, I was expecting it, and I used my glider to jump to safety off of the nest as it was set ablaze in a roaring inferno.
However, what I didn't see was that little green dragon from earlier sitting on a cliff nearby. It was just sitting there and waiting for me to attack the dragon's nest. As I flew away from the destruction the little dragon spotted my silhouette and fired one of its fireballs at me. The little dragon got lucky, and hit my glider. As my glider quickly went up in flames I turned to see my dad come up behind the little green dragon. I called to him, "Dad!" My cry echoed out as I plummeted into the deep forest on that island, probably never to be found by one of my fellow soldiers again.
A/N: How was that? I know toothless didn't originally have a dad, but hey I'm playing with artistic license. I also said that toothless has a shot limit of fourteen because the shot limit they gave him doesn't seem to match his epicness or the fact that I've seen him fire more times consecutively before. Those hard core HTTYD fans will know what I'm talking about. Anyways, if you enjoyed this chapter stayed tuned to find out what I will write next.
