<Toothless's POV>

It's been a few hours since we found that Fury, when we got back to the Great Hall, we got Gothi to help him, leaving his rugged metal mask near  him. Winning us a look at his face, his snout had scars like the rest of him did, and now that we can get a real look at him we can see how worn his wings and tail are. Its amazing he even got here.

I couldn't take my eyes off him for the first few minutes. He's the first of my kind that I've ever met, and he looked so..Different to me, but clearly still a Fury.

He had navy blue scales, with a faint tiger stripe pattern, I remember his eyes, greener than mine, his markings in a similar green, he was smaller than me a bit, too.

How he acted lingered in my mind for a while, too. He's clearly had it really rough..I can only imagine what he's been through.

"What do you guys think happened to him?" I asked my group, like how Hiccup has his friend group. I have mine.

"Maybe he's fought in wars, all of those scars..I've never seen so many from so many sources.." Stormfly responded, she's like Astrid, a fighter..Though with a..Er, more noticeable soft side.

"Yeah, clearly against other dragons, too. Some of these are from human weapons. Some of these I remember from the book, like the claws of a Nadder. Fishlegs never stopped talking about it..Though its charming in its own way" Meatlug added. She's like her rider, of course.

"Blah blah, what does it all matter, we're probably better than this rando" Barf said, Belch nodding in agreement. "Yeah!" Their also like their riders, seriously, to a T.

"You two have no respect for a clearly great warrior, do you?" Hookfang glanced at them. "Cmon, you know the answer" Barf responded with a chuckle.

As we spoke amongst ourselves, we could hear the storm outside getting more violent, though this is about as rough as it can get. "Sounds like we hit the middle mark, and somehow with plenty of food to go until we can leave" Gobber said.

"That's a new record" Hiccup said, looking over to the twins. And Snotlout. "What?" Snotlout asked. Confused. I chuckled.

"Anyone know any songs, I'm boorrredd..." Hookfang whined. "I know a couple, but their a bit...Calm from what you like" I responded. "I like a bit of classic, time to time" He responded. "Alright then.. Though we should probably move a bit beforehand..Gothi and Valka need space to work" I said, we were sorta a bit away from them, but the less noise the better. "And me" Cloudjumper said as he walked over.

"Thought you were keeping the hatchlings busy?" Stormfly asked. "I was, but they passed out a bit ago. Figured I'd help our new arrival" He said, pausing to look at the Fury for a long moment. 

"Something up?" I asked, tilting my head slightly. "Hm? Oh, nothing..Its just..He looks..I dunno..Familar?" He responded. Then shrugged. "Its probably nothing, and if your really that bored, some story readings are happening over..There-ish for the kids" Cloudjumper added with a chuckle. Before going to assist Valka and Gothi.

My small group walked to a vacant corner of the Great Hall to talk more. 

"So...After the storm clears, you guys got any plans?" Meatlug asked as we all either sat, or lay down. "Well, me and Hiccup were thinking on testing out a new tail. Though thats nothing new" I responded.

"Nah, we go as we go. And never plan as we go" Belch said, Barf nodded. "Me and Snotlout were planning on a short flight, find something to burn, then roast fish over it" Hookfang said.

"You two? Relaxing break?" Stormfly asked with a chuckle. "Wellll, we're gonna go explode something after" Hookfang responded. "Did I hear explode?" Barf asked, we all chuckled.
