Draco's pov
Everything was soft, warm... did i.... finally die? I slowly let my eyes open and i look around. Dark oak insides with a bright window in the cealing, sunlight pouring onto every foriegn surface... not Valhalla, or even Vanaheim. I'm alive, but then.... where? I groan as i manage to sit up and i notice another human, soft wheat colored hair, messy, much like hiccup's hair, but strange clothes, it didn't make sense. I sniff the air, ozone filled the air, and i look around to see a dragon, akin to toothless, but white spots appearing on his rough scales, making that area of scales glitter like snow. I curl my legs in and i stand next to the sleeping boy.
What happened to me? The last i remember, Winter told me to sleep, then blackness. How long was i under? I reach down and i shake the boy lightly, and he gasps as he awakes. His eyes were a brilliant sky blue. He says something, and my ears rise, but it doesn't sound right, not like Norse. I shake my head, unable to understand,"where am i? I'm Draco" he gasps as i speak and he holds up a finger, one minute. I nod to show i understand, and he runs off, and comes back with a helmet in hand, before pointing to the painted sigil. It's.... Toothless. I then say, naturally."Toothless. Friend." I smile as i realize what he is. I point to him, saying," Hiccup, Descendant." "W-what does that mean?" "Toothless, Hiccup's friend." Guesturing to show what i mean." you think Hiccup is my ancestor? Why?" I point to the sigil." Toothless, Hiccup's F-Friend." He gasps," the symbol is Toothless, why?" i groan, pulling out my notebook, and i pull it out, flipping through the pages. But i stop and i point to the passage i mean." Sorry, i can't read that." "Hiccup.... made Friend, Toothless." I then repeat, this time i guesture." Hiccup was the first to train a dragon?" I nod quickly, smiling brightly."huh, that explains why i connected with Thunder so well, he looks like this Toothless on the symbol." I nod," something must've happened when i went under. Why is toothless's descendants white? I need to find hiccup's journals. I need to find berk." I spread my sore wings, and i close them once i realize i cannot fly in here, so i look around." Door?" "Where are you trying to go? Are you trying to go home?" I nod," Home. Home has answers i need. Can come with if you wish." He rushes over to Thunder and shakes them awake as i find the door finally and i step out. Everything smells, weirdly, something in the air dampening the smells, but i could still decipher where Berk would be. We weren't far, as far as i could tell. The boy and Thunder step out, but as thunder sees me he says," the great Lyconwing is finally awake, great savior Hiccup searched endlessly for you, so the stories say." "How long were we asleep?" "Too long, Dragons forced to dissapear due to really bad man with dragon killer dragons." I nod," i see. Thank you Thunder." He nods and the boy hops on thunder and says," i'm Tom Kullerson by the way. What's your name?" I sigh, managing to say," d-d-Dra-Draco. Draco g-Grimborn." I smile as i manage to say it. He smiles," your really picking up english quick." "It... seems close to w-what i knew." He chuckles as i spread my wings and i take off, naturally letting my tail extend and catch me in the air. I follow my instincts, flying straight for home. Thunder keeps up and we fly for a few hours, staying close to the water.
"Just how far are we going?" "We are a-almost to my- no" i stop, knowing i should've been seeing the island of berk by now, but i take off in a burst of speed and i land on a seastack that once held a statue from the anscestry. There was no island. It was sunk, the only thing left was a small bit of rock that once held up Gothi's hut.
"Berk.... it's gone." He lands with me and hops off of Thunder." I'm so sorry." "I never saw here much toward the end. I.... theres something i need to see." I jump off the stack, tucking in my wings and folding my tail as i slice into the chilled northern waters. Below the surface i see the truth. Berk floated deep below the surface, preserved and covered in some of the ocean floor, but i see Hiccups hut. If he would've left me anything, it would be there. I flap my wings, swimming into the rotted hut. I search around, until i find an old, Gronkle iron chest. It was strangely small. But i pick it up and i swim up, the light metal making it easy. I break through the surface with a gasp. Air rushing into my lungs as i catch my breath, and i climb out the water via the small outcropping, and i take off, flapping hard as i land on the seastack, and Tom grips my arm as i slip, and he asks." Whats that?" "A gift from home. But i'll need w-Winter to fly farther." " you mean the white dragon frozen with you?" I nod,"s-she was never white though." He smiles," then your in for a treat" he takes off and i follow him, holding the chest tightly as we fly. It takes us hours, but we fly into the fissure and Thunder takes the lead, leading me into a cave and i land with them, my wings sore from flying so far. I set down the chest and i pull on the padlock, and it doesn't give." Heh, of course. Thunder what is your blast type?" " lightning, why?" I growl," we need a magma or lava dragon.... or m-mag-magnesium." "Why?" "The chest is locked with gronkle iron, a very durable metal, but a bit of lava and plasma would snap it. Or just magnesium with a bit of extra heat would melt it." He nods and says," let me ask mom if we have any magnesium on hand. I'll also bring Winter down to reunite you two." I nod and i sit down, worn out anyways. Flying that far and staying underwater for as long as i did hurt, but it was worth it if i could find out the fate of my father and friends.
