HTTYD FF Ch 3

In the cove Night Sky was awoken from her sleep when she smelt food and heard the Prince talking to Toothless.

"I hope this works bud," he said "I mean it did for you and everything, but do you think she'll come over as quickly as you did?"

Getting up and stretching a bit Night Sky was about to step out of the cave when she heard the Prince swear.

"Oh for Thor's sake," he said sounding annoyed as four other dragons came down into the cove as well all of them having humans riding them.


"What are you guys doing here?" Hiccup asked looking around for the she-dragon that was meant to be here somewhere.

"Having a field day of the Dragon Academy of course," Astrid said sliding off of Stormfly smirking.

"Field?" Tuffnut asked confused. "I thought this was a cove?" he said.

"Fine, fine," Hiccup said rubbing the bridge of his nose annoyed "I don't care. Just make sure you don't have any weapons on you or something she'll take to be one and stay calm and quiet when she comes out, if you don't want to be blasted to smithereens."

As ordered the teenagers unhooked anything a new dragon might think of as a weapon and set them over by the cliff's entrance to the cove and came back.

When they nodded that they were ready Hiccup asked Toothless to go find the one in question.



Night Sky was as far back in the cave as she could get while still being able to watch the Prince and the other humans not sure if she should come out or not.

Just as she was about to decide to try and fly for it, Toothless came running up to the entrance and smiled at her.

'Good morning,' he said sitting on his hind-legs smiling.

Nothing but a small glare.

'So Hiccup planned to try and get your trust the same way he got mine, by himself just in case you're wondering,'  he said staying put but continued 'But as we were about to leave his friends came over and kinda got the knowledge of you being here, so that's why they're here. But it's ok,' Toothless continued trying to get her to trust him so she will come out. 'The Prince's mate and the round one are alright - that is when he's not blabbering over us, the ones you need to watch for are the pig-faced one and the same-day-hatchlings. But with Astrid and Hiccup here along with all the other dragons they should behave.'

'And you sure they wont try and attack or kill me brother?' Night Sky asked in a smaller voice than last night not looking him in the eye.

'I promise sister Night Rider,' Toothless said getting down to look into her eyes smiling 'No Human on this island will attack you for death. They may for the excitement of there being another Night Rider here, but not for death.'

With that, Night Sky got up and slowly walked out beside Toothless out of the cave and over to the others.



"Ugh..." Snotlout cried. "We've been waiting here for hours and nothings happening!"

"We've been waiting for ten minutes," Hiccup said shrugging looking at him "And if you recall you wanted to come here."

"Look," Fishlegs said hopping up and down in excitement as Toothless and the other Night Fury were finally coming out of the cave.

"Ok," Hiccup said going over to the basket and getting out a fish quickly closing the lid "Now remember guys, no sudden moves, and no anything that she might think of as us attacking her."

Getting nods from the others Hiccup slowly walked up to the she-dragon, first showing that he had no weapons on him so she'll come a bit closer, and then holding out the fish.


Sniffing at it Night Sky looked up to the Prince then over to the other humans making sure that they stayed put. Turning back to Hiccup she opened her mouth and quickly snatched the fish out of his hand and swallowed it whole.

When she finished she looked to Hiccup again, who was holding up his hand and looking away a bit. But she didn't butt it, so he let it down.

Slowly Night Sky went over to the others backing up a bit when they moved forward showing her teeth when they did it again.

'It's alright Night Rider,' the blue and yellow Spike Tail who was standing behind the female with the skirt said. 'These humans mean you no harm, they're just wondered by you being here.'

'But Noche Oscura said that they'll attack...' Night Sky said looking to the dragons slight fear in her eyes.

'I said they might attack out of excitement,' Toothless said coming up to her to comfort her, wrapping one of his wings around her.

'But you also said to watch out for the round one, the pig faced one and the same-day hatchlings.' she said looking at each one as she said the names Toothless gave to her.

'Night Rider,' the Flame Skin standing over the pig faced one said lowering himself so he could earn her trust as he showed respect by getting lower than she was. 'These humans while the Prince and his mate are here, along with us, will not do anything to you. And by Draco no one on this island means you any harm.'

"Any idea what they're saying?" whispered Tuffnut to his sister while Fishlegs was battering Hiccup with questions on where he found the she-dragon, and Snoutlout was on the floor in pain again because he tried to make a move on Astrid.

"Nope," Ruff said deciding to do some cloud watching seeing as there was nothing else to do until everything got sorted out.

~~*~~

Around noon, Hiccup had told everyone how he found Night Sky, dubbing her that because that was where they found her, technically, not knowing that that was her dragon name, and Toothless introduced her to the other dragons all of who were now napping in the shade of the trees, waiting to be called over by their riders if need be.

"So who's going to be her rider Hiccup?" Fishlegs asked as they were cooking some of the fish that was bought in the basket for their lunch.

"Wh... What? Who... Who said anything about her having a rider?" Hiccup asked looking over to him.

"Well it's just..." Fishlegs began to reply when.

"No one." Astrid said straight out. "At least not yet, I think we should let her get comfy around us first, then she should be the one to decide who has her as a rider. But no bribing her got it?" she asked strictly looking to Snotlout.

"I wonder why she's so touchy about humans any way. I mean if she had only just been caught by that net you found her in Hiccup," Fishlegs queried "Then it couldn't of been anything to do with that can it?"

"I think it's just because she's not used to humans being around her," Hiccup said starting his fish. "I mean she seemed fine with the other dragons didn't she? Once she knew she could trust them."

"Hey do you think there are more Night Fury's where you found her Hiccup?" Ruffnut asked tucking into her own fish.

"No," Hiccup said in a that-ends-the-conversation voice.
Although he didn't understand what the two of them were speaking of last night, by the way they reacted and looked at each other, he gathered that she thought she was the last one too.


Sensing that Hiccup was upset about something Toothless got up and went over to him head butting him until he showed any reactions or changes to his mood.

'Noche really likes the Prince doesn't he?' Night Sky asked the others getting them to see what was going on.

'We believe it's because Hiccup was the first being to treat him as a friend and not a freak for what type of dragon he is, or a slave making him do things he didn't want to do because he knew they were wrong.' Stormfly said turning her head slightly so she could see what was going on.

'So why do you care about your humans?' Night Sky asked looking to the other two legged monsters that were with them in the cove they were staying in.

'Well I like mine because he treats me to my favorite rocks every night and sings me to sleep while I lick his toes,' Meatlug said happily.

'I like mine because of how strong a warrior she is,' Stormfly said nodding 'And how she gives me chicken and pampers me.'

'We like ours because they like to cause funnies on the other humans back in the village,' Barf said.

'And how they always fight with each other, giving us some entertainment,' Belch added, Barf nodding to this comment.

'I just mostly like to throw my one around and annoy him any way I can.' Hookfang said smirking slightly.

'That's not really what I meant,' Night Sky said playing with a flower that was in between her paws. 'I mean why do you stay around with them, when they have done so many bad things to our kind? What did they do to change you from going from every-dragon-for-themselves to working-together-and-treat-each-other-as-if-we're-all-the-same?'

'Because no matter what type we are sister,' Toothless said coming back over now Hiccup was better getting comfy after warming the ground up a bit 'We're all still Dragons. And we stay with them because now, they treat us with care and affection and look after and defend us against other meaner humans who don't like us.'

'Will the other humans here like me?' Night Sky asked after a bit.

'As long as you don't steal their boots, destroy their Great Hall, or blow up their armory,' Toothless said yawning, cheering up Hiccup takes up a lot of energy, and being up all night didn't help that.

'Huh?' Night Sky asked.

'Or run rapid around their village just because of a tooth ache,' Hookfang added.

'Or in danger them with Thor's anger making them more scared then a Tiny One,' Meatlug contributed.

'What are you talking about?' Night Sky asked getting annoyed that she didn't understand what was going on.

'There have been a few slip-ups here and there sister,' Toothless said not opening his eyes 'But the point is, as long as you don't scare them, run rapid around their village, or do anything to their boots, Hall, or armory... You should be fine.' With that Toothless tuned out the world around him and had an afternoon nap letting his mind take him back to when he was a hatchling back with his parents and he belonged somewhere.

Back in the village Stoick and Gobber were seeing Gothi about Hiccup's constant nightmares.

"Well what's she saying Gobber?" Stoick asked as Gothi began to use her staff to draw in the sand she just dusted onto the floor.

"She says... 'Hiccup will be just fine,'" Gobber translated "'And something new, will take place of the worry in his mind of the three-legged-yaks.'"

This getting him a confused look from Stoick and a hit on the head with her staff from Gothi.

"Oh... Nightmares" Gobber corrected.

Then Gothi spread more sand and drew a dragon, the moon, and the sign of Venus.

"A girl Night Fury?" Stoick asked tilting his head in slight confusion.

Gothi continued and began to draw the sign of the Berserkers and an arrow pointing to the dragon.

"And the Berserkers are after her," he asked getting a nod from Gothi as she stepped back and looked up to the chief.

"But what's that got to do with Hiccup, Gothi?" Gobber asked confused looking at the sand pictures again to try and find the hidden message.

Rolling her eyes at how dunce these two were, Gothi sprinkled more sand over the image of the Bersekers and the arrow and then drew another dragon, this time leaving off the left base tail fin, and moon adding a double headed arrow in between the two of them.

When that didn't help she added a big heart as well.

"Toothless and this girl Night Fury are going to fall in love with each other, but because the Beserkers want her, Hiccup's worry will go from his nightmares to protecting her?" Stoick asked slowly to try and work out if he got it right. Getting a nod from Gothi.
