When Snow Meets Lightning (Httyd x Male!oc)

baby ludic

In the heart of the dense forest surrounding Berk, where sunlight filtered through the canopy in golden rays, a young Ludic, barely old enough to toddle on his own, ventured forth with a sense of curious exploration. His small, chubby hands grasped at leaves and twigs, his eyes wide with wonder at the world around him.

"Maamaa!" he babbled happily, his voice carrying through the peaceful woods.

Unbeknownst to Ludic, nestled within a small, secluded clearing nearby, a young Frostbite, still a fluffy bundle of playful energy, was exploring the world beyond the confines of his nest. The tiny dragon, with his pristine white and soft blue scales, scampered around with boundless enthusiasm, curious about every rustle and movement in the underbrush.

As Ludic toddled further into the clearing, he stumbled upon a small brook babbling over smooth stones, its surface shimmering in the sunlight. Mesmerized by the glittering water, Ludic crouched down, reaching out to touch the cool liquid with his tiny fingers. His innocent laughter echoed through the clearing, a sound that caught Frostbite's attention.

Curious, Frostbite cautiously approached from behind a bush, his keen blue eyes fixed on the small human child. Ludic, oblivious to the dragon's presence, continued to giggle and splash in the water, completely enchanted by the brook's playful dance.

Frostbite crept closer, his movements slow and deliberate, trying not to startle the young human. Ludic turned suddenly, his eyes widening in surprise as he spotted the dragon. But instead of fear, Ludic's face lit up with a wide-eyed wonder, his chubby cheeks dimpling with a smile.

"Uh-oh!" Ludic exclaimed in his baby voice, pointing excitedly at Frostbite. "Dra-gon!"

Frostbite tilted his head, intrigued by Ludic's reaction. He inched closer, sniffing the air cautiously to gauge the human child's intentions. Ludic, sensing no danger, extended his hand tentatively toward Frostbite, his fingers outstretched in curiosity.

Frostbite, emboldened by Ludic's friendly gesture, crept forward until he was within touching distance of the child. Ludic giggled with delight as he gently patted Frostbite's snout, feeling the cool smoothness of the dragon's scales beneath his fingers.

"Tickle-tickle!" Ludic exclaimed, his laughter ringing through the clearing.

Frostbite responded with a playful nudge, his tail swishing back and forth in the dirt. The two young beings, one human and one dragon, forged an unlikely bond in that serene woodland clearing, their innocence and curiosity bridging the gap between their different worlds.

As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the forest, Ludic's mother's voice echoed through the trees, calling out for her son. Ludic glanced back at Frostbite with a smile, waving his tiny hand in farewell before turning to toddle back toward the sound of his mother's voice.

Frostbite watched Ludic go, his blue eyes following the child until he disappeared from view. A deep, instinctual bond had formed between them in those fleeting moments, one that would endure and shape their destinies in ways neither of them could yet imagine.

In the tranquil heart of the forest, Tovi, Ludic's mother, hurriedly searched among the trees and bushes, her voice calling out in a mixture of worry and urgency.

"Ludic! Ludic, where are you? Come back, sweetheart!" Her voice carried through the stillness, tinged with concern.

Meanwhile, Frostbite, perched at the edge of the clearing where Ludic had been playing, watched Tovi with a sense of curiosity. His ears perked at the sound of her voice, sensing her distress.

As Tovi hurried closer, her heart pounded with relief upon seeing Ludic safe and sound, toddling back towards her. She rushed to him, scooping him up into her arms with a mix of relief and admonishment.

"Ludic, you scared me! You can't just run off like that," Tovi scolded gently, her voice trembling slightly with lingering worry.

Ludic, nestled in his mother's embrace, looked up with innocent eyes, not fully understanding the fear he had caused. He babbled something incoherent, pointing back towards the clearing where Frostbite still watched them.

Tovi followed his gaze, her eyes settling on the young dragon. She approached cautiously, aware of the unpredictable nature of dragons but trusting in her son's instinctive reaction to the creature.

"Dragon" Tovi murmured softly, her voice calm yet filled with gratitude. "Thank you for watching over my baby."

Frostbite, sensing Tovi's tone, lowered his head slightly, offering a gentle nudge against her hand. His eyes shimmered with a mix of curiosity and contentment, as if understanding her words.

"You're a good dragon," Tovi continued, her hand resting lightly on the dragon's head. "Thank you for keeping him safe."

Frostbite let out a soft coo, almost like a purr, in response to Tovi's touch and words. His tail flicked against the ground, a silent acknowledgment of the bond that had formed between them in those brief, uncertain moments.

As Tovi turned to walk back towards their village, Ludic nestled securely in her arms, she cast a final glance back at Frostbite. The dragon watched them leave, his presence a reassuring sentinel in the quiet depths of the forest, a guardian to her child and a reminder of the intricate connections that bound their world together.
