Please leave a review. I would like to note that when the dragons talk it will be shown as ' ' . And to humans, the talking is the grunts, moans, and other dragon sounds.
Flyers= Dragons
Two legers= Humans
Chapter One: Shot Down
I am Toothless. The rarest and most intelligent dragon around, a Night Fury. The two legers-as what I once called them-referred to me as "the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself". I never found out why. Those two legers feared me. They hid when they heard my charge. But they never knew the truth. She took control. She ate us if we didn't satisfy her. And for the longest time I thought that these two legers were nothing but idiotic, prideful animals that loved to kill my kind and see which one was stronger. That is, until I met Hiccup. And the more I got to know this boy, the more I saw how special these people were. But not everything was so good all the time. In fact, most of our adventures were quit scary. Luckily, I quickly learned that as long as Hiccup is there, I have nothing to fear.
-Toothless Haddock
The night was long. A chill danced in the air like a fairy. Pricking and poking at every sleeping flyer as we huddled together in the cave. The only time we were able to leave the cave is when She got hungry. And now She was. Nobody wanted to go. But the fear of being swallowed by this beast got us up and out flying towards the same two legers nest.
'I feel so bad for those two legers,' called out a Deadly Nadder, 'they're just trying to live. And She is making us ruin their lives.'
'Don't feel sorry for them," I called back, 'they're just dumb animals that love to kill us.'
'Well yea but-'
'But nothing,' I interrupted, 'lets just do this and get back to the nest.'
'I don't want to go back,' an old Gronckle said as he flew up beside me,' She's gonna eat me one of these days.'
'Don't say that,' I said sweetly, 'grab a woolie, She seems to like those.' Soon we approached the target. It sat quietly in the dark. Almost invisible, like me. The Monstrous Nightmares, Gronckles, Deadly Nadders, and Hideous Zipplebacks dove down while I stayed above. She tasked me with only destroying the flyer-killing things that the two legers had made. I can't take food, can't show myself, and most importantly, I can't miss. I did as I was told and hit their things each time. Not long after my friends dove down the silence was broken by raging fires and shouting two legers. As I looked down I saw a small two leger come out of his wooden cave. Focus! I have no time to study these dumb animals! I look up and see a fellow Monstrous Nightmare climbing one of the wooden killing things. His body a flame. His head snapped to the left, now to the right. He snaps at something hidden from his flames. It must be a two leger. 'Don't worry!' I shouted, 'I'll help you!' My fire is one of the deadliest of my kind. The chaotic night was filled with the sound of me charging a blast. A 'whistle' is what I once heard a two leger call my charge. Whatever. I released my fire and it rocketed through the cold air before smacking the wooden target. The Monstrous Nightmare took that chance to escape. The wooden thing erupted with fire as the two legers jumped to safety.
'Haha!', I roared,' These animals think their so mighty.' I heard them scream and take cover when my whistle echoed through the air. I saw another flyer-killing thing. I blasted and burned it easily.
'Thanks night,' the Monstrous Nightmare shouted to me over the noise.
'Anything,' I called back. I circled in the sky for a few minutes before I spotted another killing thing. Nobody was around it. Best to destroy it anyway. My whistle filled the silent night and destroyed it. 'I love blasting things,' I told myself. 'These two legers are-hmm...what was-'. Suddenly something smacked my tail fins. It wrapped around my body. I couldn't break free! 'Help!' I shouted as I fell into the forest. I took a quick glance back to see what-or who-shot me down. I could barely see it. What!? It's that little two leger I saw leave that wooden nest. He knocked me out of the sky? Impossible! There's no way he could of! Just as the trees began to blocked my view I saw my Monstrous Nightmare friend climb up and over the cliff. Ah yes, I thought, kill him. I smacked and toppled over the trees as I got closer and closer to the ground. And then...
I don't know how long I laid there. But as I started to come to I heard footsteps approach me. Two footsteps. A two leger! I tried to move so I could escape but the effects of my impact still lingered. I heard the footfalls grow louder with every step.
"Oh, I did it. I actually did it!" he cheered. Typical two leger. Only wanting to kill my kind for fun. I've never meet two leger before. She always told me 'stay out of sight, stay out of reach'. I always followed those rules. Not because I want to of my own free will. But because if I didn't, She would eat me. That's when I realized that something. Those rules were broken. That boy had somehow seen me and managed to shoot me down. She will defiantly be mad. My dream of meeting a two leger and killing him to prove to Her that I was to good to be eaten was now over. My wondering mind turned back to him when I heard him shout, " I have brought down this mighty beast!" He placed at foot on my shoulder. He touched me! Two legers are filthy creatures. 'Don't ever touch me!' I didn't expect him to understand me. But I can tell that by my sudden movement that I had startled him. He jerked back with shock. I could hear his heavy breathing and almost silent footsteps edge closer to me, this time with caution.
After a little bit of my daze died down I opened my eyes to see him. My wing blocked my view so I painstakingly moved my head to were I could see him...something is not right. This boy looked nothing like from what I've been told. Where were the muscles? The pridefulness? The rage? That's when I noticed another thing, he's shaking. Is he afraid? That's just great. Not only was this two leger nothing like what I've been told, he was also scared out of his mind. I was enraged by this turn of events. If I was meant to meet a two leger, then why not that one I saw throw a net over a group of Deadly Nadders that were trying to kill a group of woolies? He shakingly held his shiny rock of death to my chest," I'm gonna kill you, dragon. Then I-I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father. I'm a viking. I AM A VIKING!"
I wanted to pin this boy to the ground and end his life. Prove that I'm good enough to not be eaten. But I didn't move. No, it wasn't my restraints that held me firmly to my place. I felt a sense of fear wash over me like a spell. But why would I be afraid of him? Then I understood. I'm going to die, I thought. This boy is going to end my life. I disgraced myself my pleading mercy to him. But exhaustion kept me from speaking. All I could do was let the fear of death take over me and pray that he would have a change of heart. He looked into my eyes. He must of seen my fear, right? But, just as I had predicted, he readied his shiny rock of death well above his head.
I guess I should take my fate like a grown flyer. I rested my head on the ground, closed my eyes, and waited for the fatal blow. And waited...and still waited. I dared not to open my eyes.
"I did this this," I heard him whisper a short few seconds later. How strange. The way he said that seemed foreign to me. Maybe it was just a distraction. My restrained body rose up and down with every long breath I took. Waiting for one of them to be my last. I heard his footsteps begin to echo away from me. Is he leaving me? Wanting me to die of starvation? But then the footfalls stopped. I dared not to move. Suddenly my restraints, which were so tight they almost choked me, began to lighten. Snap! That sudden sound made me open my eyes to see what made it. That boy...he's releasing me! Doesn't he know the second I'm free I could kill him?
And just as I said I would do, the second I felt free enough, I took him by surprise and pined him to a nearby rock. His shiny rock of death flew a few feet away from him. Fear echoed in his eyes and met my own. I forced my fear away as I glared at this two leger. ' Such a silly mistake to let me go boy,' I quietly growled to him. The boy's fear slowly faded as he looked at me. Almost daring me to make a move. I reared back, ready to strike. But then, a feeling came over me...I didn't want to kill him. He had spared me. There was something different about him. I couldn't make up my mind on what to do. It felt as if my mind was desperately flipping a metal circle thing (a coin) in my head. One side said 'kill' the other said 'don't kill'. I picked my choice. In a desperate attempt to keep him from following me I roared right in his face. I wasn't really trying to say something, merely trying to scare him. I quickly spun around and took off. I went to dodge a rock but smacked into it. 'What is wrong with me?' I groan. I try to gain higher ground so I can fly out of the forest. But when I did a shooting pain from my tail took away my focus on the sky. I plummeted through the air until I splashed into a pond. I stood up and shook the water off me. I glanced back back at my tail to see where the pain was coming from. I almost screamed.
'My tail fin!' I screamed. But, how did-him! That boy did this. When he shot me down. Crashing into all those trees must of been what destroyed it. I knew I should of killed him. Maybe if I go back I could catch up to him. I looked up and saw that I was surrounded by walls of rock. No problem. I can just fly straight up. I jumped into the air to search for this two leger. But almost immediately I crashed back to the ground. 'What?' I groaned, 'Why can't I fly?' I tried again, but only got the same result. It must be my missing fin. Can I not fly with just one? I glanced around to see if there's a way out. None. I jumped and grabbed onto the side of a wall and try to climb out. I just fell back down.
'This is just great,' I grunted, 'if I see that boy again, he is surely dead.'
