Hiccup sat at the top of a grassy precipice. The blades softly tickling his legs. The bright orange sunset slipping under the distant horizon. Toothless wrapped around Hiccup, his head on Hiccup's lap, purring contently, A small pack already attached to his saddle. Both lay in peace merely enjoying each others company. It had been a few weeks since they meet but already they had built a bond between each other far greater than they had made with anybody else.

Hiccup was finishing his last piece of fish he would ever eat on Berk, just as the last of the sun fell behind the horizon. Toothless already finished the meal Hiccup brought, swallowing down like it was one instead of the twelve he actually bought. A celebration in many ways. The sudden dissipation of light made Toothless awake from his nap. Toothless noticed Hiccup still had fish in his hands, and tried to snap at it in order to speed Hiccup up, Hiccup managed to pull it away in time before Tooth could get to it.

Darkness approached, the time that the two had been waiting for. They had already missed Astrid nearly catching him and Tooth in the cove, they both deemed it safer to leave during the dark. Don't forget to mention Astrid looked peeved.

Toothless unwrapped himself from Hiccup, moving away to stretch. There was a long flight ahead, and Toothless already had a destination in mind.

Hiccup also stood, he really like this spot. The lush meadow grass, the swaying green trees, and the distant crash of the ocean waves far below made the whole scene peaceful. It cleared up the dark spot deep within Hiccup's heart. A dark spot made by years of abuse and neglect.

"Tooth." Hiccup said after deeply inhaling the scent of the nearby pines. Toothless walked back up to Hiccup, lifting his head to Hiccup's height. Their eyes meet, only to refresh the deep brotherly like bond between them. Forest emerald meet toxic green, the aura of their relationship strengthening. "I think it's time we left."

Hiccup's smile was forced, the prospect of leaving struck a nerve deep inside. It was not easy leaving, even with such a fantastic reason, it scared Hiccup. He was leaving everything behind. His neglectful father, his childhood bullies and his impossible crush. On second thought, he had nothing. Even the productivity he made in Dragon training, was all a front, it meant nothing to him.

Hiccup mounted himself onto Toothless, taking one breathless look out to sea. He was really doing it, he was really leaving. The last of the sun's rays reflected off the evening sky, shining an orange tint on Toothless's scales, and splattering a pearlescent of colours on the heavens above. The sun itself, was no longer to be seen, having found its resting place seemingly below the earth.

Without a word, the two bounded off the earth, and made their way higher into the sky. Hiccup was flat against Toothless's back, making a more streamline shape. the speed they were traveling was comfortable. Just fast enough to get somewhere quick, but not to fast where both would get tired to quick.

After reaching a suitable attitude Hiccup lifted himself back to a seating position. He looked back, his eyes falling on to the island of Berk. The village lights flickered like the stars above them. He mumbled to himself something inaudible before turning forward. The dark night failing to hide his leaking tears. They reflected the moonlight, something Toothless noticed. He softly warbled to Hiccup, hoping to comfort him. Hiccup only placed his hand on Toothless's head.

"I'm okay bud" Hiccup clenched his eyes shut, wiping away his tears. Hiccup mumbled something that sounded like 'hopper' or 'Gobber'. Toothless believed it was Gobber, had had heard Hiccup mention something about someone named Gobber. Said something about him being a surrogate father. It would be hard for Hiccup to leave him for Toothless, but he was glad he was.

Both looked out to the horizon, wondering what would come next.

They had been flying for hours, going off in some sort of direction. Toothless was in charge of where they were going. Hiccup was just along for the ride. But he was getting tired, he hadn't slept well for days.

"Tooth." He whispered, his voice had been used. "Tooth." he said only a little louder, but it was enough. His voice was harsh and croaky, exhaustion ran through it in veins. They had been flying above the clouds, for hours. It was nothing but a flat plain of fluffy ground for miles. It had been for hours. Now the sun was rising, the clouds coloring orange with the morning light.

"Toothless!" His yell came out in a hushed tone, but loud enough for Toothless to hear. "Please can we set down, I need rest." Toothless suddenly felt guilty, he basically fell asleep mid-flight. He warbled in worry, as Hiccup fell forward on the saddle. Toothless angled down and started descending, the clouds parting around them and a lush green island came to view.

A large mountain housed many caves suitable for the two to rest in. Toothless quickly made his way down to one of the higher ones choosing it to let Hiccup sleep away from predators. His pride wouldn't let him admit it, but he was tired too.

The cave was small, but large enough for the both of them. Toothless softly landed, waited for Hiccup to dismount. He became more worried when Hiccup made no attempt to move. He cooed and warbled to wake him, but nothing. He couldn't get Hiccup off, he was attached to the saddle.

He tried to wake Hiccup, he knew Hiccup was alive, he could feel Hiccup's slow heartbeat and his warm breath on his neck. Toothless finally roared, the sickening sound bouncing off the cave walls and jolting Hiccup awake.

"Toothless!" Hiccup screamed, his head spinning around to find the problem. "What's wrong?" Hiccup was only answered with a soft warble, the tone apologetic. Hiccup dismounted and fell to the ground, his legs failing him due to past restless nights. Hiccup tried to pull himself up to his feet but was embraced by Toothless, who pulled him within his paws, wrapping him tightly in his wings. Hiccup squirmed, but to no avail. Toothless pulled his head down into his wings, nuzzling his surrogate brothers head. It wasn't long before Hiccup fell into a deep sleep, swiftly followed by Toothless.

Back on Berk, things fell into panic. Stoick come bellowing out of his home, demanding his son to show himself. Soon search parties were sent out to search for the young teen. Gobber was worried the most, being practically the child's father.

Stoick demanded information about his son's whereabouts. Astrid came forward, claiming she followed him into the forest the night before to search for him, and admittedly, demand information herself, but lost the trail in a cove deep in the forest near Ravens Point.

A party was promptly sent, along with Stoick and Gobber. What they found was not thrilling. The landscape was damaged, like something powerful had crashed. They found the cove, the entrance was covered by a lodged shield bearing a dragon decal. In the cove itself, several scorch marks, a small picture drawn in the dirt of an unknown dragon. Stoick was baffled, the small search party spread out. Stoick moved to the lake side, staring down at his glinting reflection. He noticed something behind it.

Reaching down, he picked up the silvery object, noting that it was a small dagger. The very same the Hiccup had. Finally Stoick had put it all together, his son was slain in battle against a strange dragon, by the sight of the black scales scattered around, most likely the infamous Night Fury. He gasped, looking back at the tiny blade in his hand.

"Oh Hiccup."
