Toothless and his Tale

The Tale of Toothless Part 1

Once there was a boy, he made friends with a dragon. You all know the rest. Now Toothless and Hiccup are grown and living as the Chief of Berk and Alpha of the dragons. These two good friends have grown further apart since that fateful day. Hiccup has spent more time with his people and Astrid, leaving Toothless all alone. Being a good friend, Hiccup decided to make Toothless a new tail, so he could leave and explore on his own. Toothless was happy to receive the tail, and after saying goodbye, flew of into the distance, to his new future.

Toothless thought hard as he flew into the horizon, never to see his friend again. He almost had second thoughts about leaving, then he shook his head and told himself that Hiccup made the tail so he could leave Berk, not so that he could have second thoughts. Toothless looked up to see the sky darkening as a storm set in, there was an island right below it so he landed down there. As Toothless scanned the area, he heard a dragon calling for help in the distance. He rushed as fast as he could, when he reached the dragon call, all he saw was pitch black, no dragon. Then it appeared, it was a night black dragon. The dragon attacked Toothless and he retaliated with  plasma blast. The dragon flew into the grass and ran at Toothless again. This time it stopped in front of him and looked at his face. Toothless went slack, it looked like him! The dragon was long and sleek with black scales and magenta eyes. It was a female, but was it a Night Fury? Toothless let out a soft growl, asking who the dragon was.Who are you? What species are you? Why are you out here?

The female stared at him for a while and responded. My name is Lithek, I am what they call a Devil Soul. we are a rare species who are almost extinct. I'm out here because I was separated  from my flock and landed here in the storm. Devil Souls are very much like Night Furies, we are black, sleek, very fast, and intelligent. My species are dragons whose souls disappear when they turn 900. That is why we are called Devil Souls. The soulless dragons aren't deadly, they just can't remember their former lives. That is who we are, what is your name and what happened to your tail?

Toothless looked behind him at his tail. My name is Toothless, a few years ago, my friend Hiccup shot me down and took off one side of my tail. This is when the dragons were under the control of the Red Death and attacked villages. The Vikings killed us to stop us from raiding their villages.  When Hiccup found me, he made me a new tail, and became my friend. We were good friends but then we grew further apart. Hiccup made me a new tail so that I could fly on my own. I then left to find a new life. I'm sure we could find your flock in the morning. Could I possibly join your flock? That is if they will accept me.

Lithek stared off into the distance for what seemed like forever. The rain had gotten worse and was pouring down hard. The sky flashed with lightning and thunder boomed. Toothless gave up and made his bed to lay down. He closed his eyes just as Lithek started to talk. So you are friends with the people who killed you and trapped you. I'm sure my flock will accept you because you are mostly like us. Our lead male might have something to say about it, he is very territorial. I would prepare yourself to be challenged. We can set out North tomorrow.

Toothless growled out a reply of agreement, he curled up and went to sleep. He dreamt of what Hiccup was doing, he imagined him staring out into the distance with Astrid thinking about his friend. " Astrid, this is my fault, I drove him away, I shouldn't have forced him away like that."

"Hiccup, this isn't your fault, you gave him the tail to be free,  he chose to leave, I'm sure he's fine and happy."  Toothless had a new respect for Astrid, she had explained to him the very reason he had left, it was because Hiccup had made the tail for him because he cared about him, not because he wanted to be rid of him. Toothless wanted to run to Hiccup, but he was shaken awake by Lithek. 

Wake up, it's morning, we need to leave. Toothless stretched and yawned, Lithek was already awake and was waiting outside. The two flew North and soon reached Lithek's flock. It was small, only about six or seven dragons. The females were all black but the male was black with a red dotted stripe down his back. as Lithek joined the group, several said hello. The lead male swerved around and leaped at Toothless from the air. Toothless defended himself with a plasma blast. 

So, you have challenged me, we shall set down on the island below us and fight for control, if I win, you must leave, if you win, my fate is in your claws. The male swerved down and landed on the small, desolate island. Toothless followed with the rest of the group. as they landed the rest of the Devil Soul flock backed up leaving Toothless and Lithek alone. 

Good luck Toothless, be careful. Watch for his tail, it's covered in thin, red spikes. Toothless nodded and braced himself as the male charged.
