How to Train Your Dragon: Dragon Ambassador

Dangerous Waters

  The sun rose with it's warm glow early the next day. Hiccup's eyes blinked opened as he stretched his arms and yawned. As he looked around he was startled by the sleeping Night Fury. The events of yesterday came back to him then as calmed his beating heart. "Right, right," he sighed."Okay...okay...dragons...they only attack because of a another dragon. Yeah, my dad will totally believe that!".

As Hiccup pondered on what to say the Night Fury awoke. He yawned and stretched his legs and wings in a similar manner to a cat. Then he looked over at Hiccup. "Morning," Hiccup smiled, "I hope your ready to take me home."

Home? Really? The Night Fury wasn't so sure on that. His instincts told him that wasn't a good idea. What with the dragon suddenly snatching the boy away and flying far, far away. Maybe...they could go to another village? "Now, look, I know that you probably haven't had a human ride on your back," Hiccup brought the dragon back from it's thoughts, "But if we are gonna go back; I need to be in a more...uh...comfortable position. You get me?".

The Night Fury looked at the boy; he didn't like that idea. Though, every other dragon would probably feel the same way. The dragon sighed and turned around. Hiccup smiled; a part of him was excited at the fact he's gonna ride an actual dragon! But, the other half kept him standing still. This...was a dragon. Hiccup took a deep breath; this was a once in a life time opportunity. "Okay...I-I'm gonna climb on...R-Right now," Hiccup slowly walked towards the black dragon.

The dragon watched Hiccup. If he didn't had any proof that Hiccup wasn't like any of the other humans...well...now he did. The Night Fury looked at Hiccup's eyes. They looked nervous yet...excited. The dragon remembered yesterday. Maybe he hasn't fully trusted the beast yet. An idea came to the Night Fury. Maybe he should...play with Hiccup. Ease the nervousness. As Hiccup reached out the Night Fury quickly slipped past him. Hiccup froze for a second, but then turned and looked at the dragon. The dragon perked his ears up. "C-Come on now," Hiccup sighed, "You want others to know about that dragon right?".

Hiccup walked up to the dragon again. But the Night Fury quickly slipped by again. Hiccup groaned, "What are you doing?". The Night Fury cocked his head. Hiccup walked forward again, and the same thing repeated. Hiccup was getting annoyed. "Will...you...sit...STILL!?. The Night Fury sat down and chuckled his Night Fury laugh. Hiccup looked at the dragon. "Wait...are you...trying to play with me?" Hiccup nearly chuckled, "I thought that you wanted...oh...your trying to show me that it's okay. I don't need to be nervous.".

The Night Fury purred and walked over to Hiccup. Hiccup stepped back, still a little nervous, and the dragon stopped. He stood there; letting Hiccup make the next move. Hiccup slowly placed his hand on the dragon's snout. It felt very warm. The exact opposite of what he was told. Hiccup smiled then placed his hand under the dragon's chin. A thought came to his head, "You know...I should give you a name. At least in case we get separated and I need to shout to you.".

The Night Fury stopped himself from rolling his eyes. Of course. Humans always must name something. But, the Night Fury did understand where he was coming from. Running around shouting "Night Fury!? Where are you!?" would be odd. Then again...humans did come up with the name Night Fury as well. There seemed to be no escaping the human's love of naming everything!

"Let's see," Hiccup thought out loud, "Why not...Toothless? You can retract your teeth and look toothless.". The Night Fury didn't care either way. The Night Fury, erm Toothless, smiled in response. "Good," Hiccup walked over to the side, "How about we try flying now?". Toothless was still not too keen on it, but allowed Hiccup to climb on. The boy was very light; at least he wasn't carrying one of those larger humans he's seen. Hiccup sat perfectly between Toothless' shoulder blades-almost as if he was meant to sit there. "Alright, l-let's fly!".

Toothless opened his wings wide and shot up into the air. However, Hiccup was prepared for the sudden speed and, with nothing to hold onto, fell right off. Swinging his arms he grabbed onto Toothless' tail and hung on tight! Toothless looked down, startled by Hiccup's screams. His feet dangled until they managed to wrap around the tail, but in doing so he closed the left tail fin. Toothless screeched as his balance dropped and he fell from the sky. They spun in the air before crashing into trees and then the ground. Toothless moaned. Ouch, that really hurt. Toothless stood up and shook off the leaves that fell off of the trees. He looked around. Wait? Where was Hiccup?

"U-Up here."

Toothless looked up. Hiccup was dangling from the tree by the back of his shirt. Toothless nearly chuckled then and there. It was too funny! "Y...You gonna get me down?" Hiccup asked. Toothless smiled. The boy looked so silly. In this silly moment right now all of the terror and rage between humans and dragons seemed to fade away. Toothless felt something; something warm inside. He felt happy. He felt joy. He wanted to be by Hiccup's side all of the time. Toothless eyed the branch that kept Hiccup up there. He readied his fire and shot at the wood. The branch broke and Hiccup fell. Toothless quickly rushed forward and caught his new friend. Friend...now that didn't seem so weird to say now.

Hiccup collected himself then looked at Toothless. The dragon smiled and purred which made Hiccup smile back. "Alright, uh, wanna try again?" Hiccup chuckled. Toothless crooned.

A few minutes later they were up in the air. Toothless slowed down on his movement and speed so Hiccup wouldn't fall off again. "I guess we should go back the way we came," Hiccup thought out loud. As they hovered there a soft sounding Hum drifted to the dragon. It was the same one form last night! It was so inviting! So lovely! Toothless' ears perked up. "What is it Toothless?" Hiccup asked. Toothless responded by suddenly taking off; flying North. "Whoa! Whoa! No! My village is this way!" Hiccup tried to turn Toothless Northwest, but the dragon continued. It wasn't just the softness of this Hum that drew the dragon, but curiosity as well. Why was this Hum different? Does it mean that the dragon emitting it was of a different species? He must know!

For ten minutes Toothless flew North; towards the Hum. Farther and farther away from Hiccup's home. "Where are you going!?" Hiccup tried to talk some sense into his dragon, "What about that bad dragon?". Oh....right! Toothless nearly forgot! He was so focused on that lovely, unknown Hum. He stopped and looked around. Uh.....this was trouble. He had never been to these waters before. He wasn't sure on where he was.

"What has gotten in you?" Hiccup asked. But before either could do something else they suddenly heard "Fire!". A net out of nowhere flew through towards them and snatched them out of the air. Hiccup and Toothless fell until the hit the water. Then they were being pulled by a rope that was attached to the net. Hiccup held his breath and looked up. He saw a boat. He had never seen a boat like that before.

They were pulled up on the side of the boat and brought on board. The humans were big and looked very mean. Toothless growled. Where they the humans that hunted for sport or lust? Either way...this wasn't good.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I do want to say that I wanted to add more to it, but I was sooooo distracted by the fact Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon were coming out this week that I forgot to write it. I had to write all of this on Friday (the day the games comes out) and had to rush finish it. The beginning of the next chapter is what I wanted to finish this chapter with. I'm very sorry! X(
