Dragon Heart [A Gruvia Story] [COMPLETE]

Part I

AN: So here I am with another AU no one asked for. LOL Sorry about that but with the final Season of Dragons: Race to the Edge (from the How To Train Your Dragon franchise) which was AWESOME, I had to write something (I have been wanting to write about it for YEARS, actually). LOL No, but really, watch the show on Netflix if you liked the two movies. It is set between 1 and 2 and the final episode was FULL of references to lead to movie 2 and it was AMAZING). I laughed the whole time, it's GREEEEEEEEEAT!

Dragon Heart

They had spent their whole lives at Berk. It's twelve days north of Hopeless, and a few degrees south of Freezing to Death. It's located solidly on the Meridian of Misery. In a word, sturdy. And it's been there for seven generations, but, every single building is new. There has fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunsets.

The only problems were the former pests. Most places have mice or mosquitoes. They had... dragons. Most people would leave. Not them, they were Vikings and they have, stubbornness issues.

They had fought dragons for generations until they began training them after Natsu Dragneel tamed a Monstrous Nightmare, which is a fearless and proud dragon that could set itself on fire. Of course Natsu would try and tame it instead of learn how to kill it (as any young Viking would), hating it the slaughter of dragons since he was a kid, taking Gray, the chief's son, down with him.

It wasn't... easy but they managed to teach other Vikings to see reason after defeating the Red Death on dragonback.

They were fifteen years old, then, and now, with twenty, the whole of Berk had changed to function perfectly with Dragons.

Gray's dragon, Avalanche, was a Stormcutter; a dragon that resembled owls and displayed two pairs of wings that form an 'X' when flying. Stormcutter dragons walk on this second set of wings and their hind legs. The wings can also come close together so they can be like one main pair. They have a very muscular and sturdy build. Their face has two long spines that branch off their brow to the side and they have a "smashed" face, kind of like an owl. They are intelligent, proud, and confident but can be sweet and friendly. They can be aggressive and are also quite curious. Very much like Gray, Avalanche was the perfect dragon for him.

Training the others had been a little difficult, but after five years, they had amazing Riders, who worked as protectors of Berk and its surrounds.

A few months after the beginning of training, a couple of former enemies, Berserkers and Berkians had been in war since Jose Porla became Chief but now peace was restored, appeared on Berk and after proving themselves trustworthy, they too, started to train after they, by coincidence, bonded with dragons.

One of them, her name was Juvia, as the Vikings didn't believe on naming their children nice things – instead, parents believe a hideous name will frighten off gnomes and trolls so she was named her after the rain, after a storm, – she was special to the Chief's son.

Juvia bonded with a deep blue Titan Wing Raincutter she named Bozu – they were known to be extremely loyal and grateful to their riders and once Juvia had cut it free from a Hunter's net, it didn't leave her side, no matter what, not that the blue haired girl minded. She became a rider and just like the others, it seemed, after a couple of weeks, as if she'd had been born for it.

For some reason Gray could only wonder, Juvia Lockser was in love with him and had no intention of hiding it from anyone, Gray himself included, much to his father's amusement.
