How to Train Your Dragon: Dragon Ambassador

Lead the Way New Friend! Part One

A few more days had passed since Toothless escaped that large orange dragon. He was making great distance, but in the back of his head, he was still a little unsure that this new Hum would lead him to Hiccup. The sun was close to setting and it was time for another rest. Toothless found a beautiful island to land island was covered with forests of moderate density. Toothless eyed numerous cliffs and the shallow central mountain peak looked covered in ice and snow despite being in the middle of summer. He landed in the dense forest. Toothless stretched out his paws and wings; that was a long flight even for a Night Fury! The dragon perked his ears up; this Hum was very strong; yet he didn't feel it pulling him towards it like before. It was more like an offer; he was free to follow it if he wanted to. Toothless stomach growled. He sniffed the air and caught the scent of fish. Toothless trotted to it, but was shocked by what he came upon. A cold, metal trap...right in the sun light with a fish at it center as bait. Why are there humans way out here?! Toothless stomach growled again; he wanted it so much! He wasn't going to fall for it! Toothless readied his fire then blasted the trap. It jumped in the air and snapped shut. Toothless then ran up and snatched the fish away. He ate it in one gulp. Mmmmm...tasty!

A sudden roar caught the dragon's ears. It was a plea for help. Toothless followed it, but carefully. He soon came upon a dragon; trapped high up in a tree by a humans net. Toothless was sure that he had never seen this dragon before either. It was a bit bigger than him; green with a little red on it's face. It had one horn on it's snout and two longer horns just above it's eyes. It was a bulky dragon; definitely a dragon that charges at it's enemies. Toothless crooned up to the poor soul. The dragon kicked his little feet. Toothless sat down; why didn't he just burn the rope? Or...was this dragon like the Thunderdrum? No fire, it shot something else out of it's mouth. Toothless glanced up and saw where the trap was tied to the tree. Out of pity he fired at it. The rope easily gave way and the green dragon dropped to the floor.

He jumped up and roared angrily at Toothless. The Night Fury backed up; confused by the anger. He roared back to him. The dragon was trapped and Toothless helped him out...why Toothless in the wrong? The green dragon went to roar again but suddenly stopped. He looked off to his left; as if he heard something. But, Toothless heard nothing. The green dragon then rushed over to Toothless; nudging him. Toothless crooned confusingly at the dragon. Just what in the world was it doing?! Eventually the dragon managed to get Toothless to hide behind a group of bushes. There they waited for a few minutes before two humans appeared. Toothless was dumbfounded. How did he know they were coming?! They made no sound!

"Eh, looks like this one got out," one human male said to the other.

"Yeah, though from the roaring we just heard it sounded like a Rumblehorn," the other said, "But...I can't make out that other one."

"Maybe that means it's a rare one," the first man chuckled, "Which means more money for us!"

The two laughed as they started walking in a different direction; presumably to find Toothless and the Rumblehorn. The Rumblehorn growled slightly as he watched the two men walk away. When the humans were gone the Rumblehorn backed away from the bushes and crooned at Toothless. Toothless looked back at the net; then it clicked. He looked stunned at the dragon. He wanted to get caught?! Toothless crooned back at him; asking him why. The Rumblehorn crooned; explaining that he if he got caught then he could free the other trapped dragons by being on the inside.

Toothless just stared at the dragon. That had to be the dumbest thing he had ever heard. The Rumblehorn growled at Toothless; not taking too kindly to the lack of confidence from the Night Fury. Then the Rumblehorn ran off in the direction the men came from. He stopped and urged Toothless to follow. The Night Fury was unsure. He was getting side tracked again! He had to find Hiccup! But, he still followed the Rumblehorn. After running in the forest for a few minutes they took to the air. Then the Rumblehorn took Toothless to the island's northern most beach. There Toothless saw them; humans; and a lot of them. There were so many dragons in so many cages. The beach itself was fortified by a semi-steep rock wall that rounded all sides but the ocean's side.

They flew back down. Okay, now Toothless sort of understood why the Rumblehorn was trying to get caught. But he warned the dragon. That man, Ryker was it? He had similar cages and Toothless couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried. Toothless suggested a different plan. He sighed; Hiccup was going to have to wait a little bit longer.

O

Nighttime. The humans were asleep with a few on watch. Unknowingly above them Toothless flew in the dark sky; his black scales blending in perfectly. Memories flooded back the dragon. The village raids; always at night. Wait...why was always at night? Toothless shook his head. Focus! He circled them, just like he would a village. Toothless eyed their boat; but forced himself to not aim for it. With the amount of dragons on the beach he doubted that there would be any in the boat. Toothless' silent wings flapped; he breathed in slowly. A part of this felt right. Felt powerful. The timing had to be just right...

He felt it...it was now! Toothless tucked in his right wings and dove down fast. He opened his mouth. Green gas spilled put as his throat lit up with the color of his fire. The infamous whistle echoed throughout the sky as Toothless released his shot. Sand exploded everywhere as the humans jumped in their skins. The battle for these dragon's freedom had started!
