[TOOTHLESS's POV]

It was over. The Deadly Stinger was dead, Luna forced Quella to give up her throne to Luna, publicly announcing her new coronation with a bitter tone, and the Deathgrippers had completely abandoned The Hidden World with the Deadly Stinger dead.

The Deathgrippers had no leader now, and it was very unlikely to see them ever again. They also couldn't afford to keep their citizens trapped in their own Kingdom, so they were forced to let those who wanted to leave go, which caused a LOT of dragons to migrate here. I overheard discussion of expanding the Kingdom entirely to accommodate the new dragons coming in.

Luna becoming Queen was an amazing thing for us, and the kingdom. Surprisingly they took her in as their Queen very well. Most of them had hated her or acted like they did in order to stay on the royals's good side, and to keep their own reputation afloat. But with Luna as Queen? A lot of them have changed their attitude towards her. Of course this meant she had to pick a King, and obviously that was me. Today was the big day for my own coronation as King, and me and Luna had just woken up.
Luna: "Took you long enough, my King."
I laughed.
Toothless: "Not King yet, your majesty."
We smiled at each other then got up. We got out of our room and saw Stormfly there with some fish for us.
Stormfly: "Figured y'all two would want something to eat so, here ya go."
Luna: "Thank you Stormfly."
We sat down and ate.
Stormfly: "You two about ready? Toothless's coronation is in just an hour."
I nodded, and so did Luna.
Stormfly: "Then let's get going!"
We all flew out of our den and into the main Kingdom. Immediately all three of us were crowded. Luna was already Queen, and I was about to be King, so it was obvious why we were crowded, but "why Stormfly?" you may ask. Well, let's just say she was credited for her help in the last fight and is now seen as the Hero of The Hidden World. I didn't mind the title being given to her, she deserved recognition for what she did for all of us. I covered them both with my wings to shield them from the hundreds of dragons trying to hug or talk to us as we walked forward. We wanted to make a stop by the river. Once we got there, we still had a moderately sized crowd so we ordered them to give us some space. Luna and Stormfly immediately dove into the water with no hesitation as I stayed out watching over them.

[LUNA's POV]
I saw Toothless laying down on the ground watching over us as I whispered to Stormfly:
Luna: "I think he should get in here with us."
Stormfly smirked and whispered back to me:
Stormfly: "Grab him and pull him in!"
That actually sounded like an amazing idea, so I nodded with an evil grin and turned back towards Toothless. A few baby dragons must've snuck in, because they were playing around with Toothless. One was on his back, one was play fighting his tail, and another was laid down in front of toothless. Toothless hardly moved, I'm sure he was worried he'd hurt one of them by accident. Seeing that they'd never go away if I didn't do anything, I swam close by them and asked them nicely to give their King a break. They quickly listened and left as Toothless smiled.
Toothless: "How did you just do that?"
Luna: "I have my ways"
I then stared at Toothless with my evil smile as he stared back, obviously confused. Then, I suddenly grab his arm and pull him into the water. I immediately hear Stormfly burst out in laughter as Toothless and I quickly get to the surface of the water. Toothless and I then immediately shared a laugh.
Toothless: "What was that for?!"
Luna: "For being boring!"
He smiled then grabbed me.
Toothless: "Oh yeah? How's this for boring?"
He then LAUNCHED me through the air as I fall right into the water. Stormfly laughs even more as I get back up and splash water at Toothless.
We swam for a bit then got out of the water.
Stormfly: "Toothless, your coronations about to begin, we should all get going."
Toothless: "You ready, Luna?"
I rolled my eyes and walked past him.
Luna: "I should be the one asking you that, my King."
We flew back to the main Kingdom. We had a huge rock that was in the middle of the Kingdom and above everything there, so me and Toothless landed there as Stormfly went into the crowd.

[TOOTHLESS's POV]

I was pretty nervous being all the way up there, but the moment Luna noticed that she playfully swatted at me just to distract me. We laughed a bit before I turned back to the crowd. Normally when a King is coronated the King roars to the crowd and that'd be it, so I got up tall and roared loudly. It was loud enough to cause an echo that went through the entire Hidden World. I immediately turned to Luna worried I messed up but she just smirked at me.
Luna: "You're fine, Toothless."
I could've ended the coronation there, but I decided to whisper to Luna:
Toothless: "I want to dance with you."
She looked at me with a *Are you sure?* Expression.
Toothless: "Trust me."
She nodded slowly, then at the same time we both slowly hopped around in a circle. The dance wasn't long, but it was still more then I HAD to do, so I felt proud of myself. After a few seconds of that, on opposite sides of the rock, we roared quietly towards each other then walked to the middle and nuzzled against one another before turning back to the crowd. They all were roaring back while bowing to me and Luna. We turned to each other and kissed in front of everyone there.
Toothless the King, I could get used to that.

————- 2 YEARS LATER —————-

After saying goodbye and kissing my Queen, I went to the river ready to get enough food for day. Stormfly also tagged along since we hadn't really gotten to hangout like we used to before. While I was fishing and Stormfly was hanging out beside me, I noticed something in the river. I reached in and grabbed a necklace with a black crystal in it. I hadn't recognized it at all, so I put it on and turned to show Stormfly. Immediately I felt myself blank out, and I passed out.

...

I woke up an hour later, and the first thing I see is Stormfly's lifeless body on the ground with huge wounds across her neck.
Toothless: "STORMFLY!"
I ran to her side and she opened her eyes and looked at me weakly.
Stormfly: "T-toothless..."
I immediately realized something that made my entire body shiver.

This was the same necklace that had taken control over me before. I then noticed blood on my claws and immediately knew what this meant.

Toothless: "No... No Stormfly I'm sorry I didn't!-"
Stormfly: "I-I know toothless... I know..."
She closed her eyes and I felt her pulse disappear. I cried as I stared at her.
What had I done? What did I just do?!
I immediately grabbed the necklace and tried to yank it off but I couldn't, I then felt myself starting to get dizzy again.
No... Stormfly I'm... I'm sorry

Then I passed out.

That was the end of the first book of this series! I may do two more if I get the motivation for it. I hope you enjoyed reading it! To summarize what has happened:
Toothless and Luna are the King and Queen of The Hidden World.
Toothless has been taken control over by the black crystal and killed Stormfly.
Toothless had predicted this, but couldn't prevent it.
And now, what will happen to the Hidden World, and to Luna?
