A New Destiny

Chapter 2

Hiccups pov- It was very early when I woke up this morning, I almost didn't get up until I remembered that we were going to find out if I hit a Dragon last night. S:"Morning. Ready to see what you snagged last night?" H:"IF I hit something last night." S:"Right. Well, we should gather everyone and start searching." H:"Agreed." I couldn't wait to see if I got anything with my greatest invention!

-time skip to Hicup about to find Toothless-

I feel like I'm really close. I found broken trees and followed the trail until I see the devil himself. The Night Fury. Before I can call out that I found it, the dragon started freaking out. Before I knew it a Monstrous Nightmare came out of nowhere. If I wasn't put on gaurd by the Night Fury, the other dragon would have killed me. The rest of the search party heard me fighting the Monstrous Nightmare and came running to help. I got the upper hand and netted it as my Dad and Gober reached me. G:"well I'll be a monkey's uncle." S:"How much more impressive can you be?" H:"Well, if it wasn't for The Night Fury freaking out and putting me on gaurd I wouldn't have stood a chance, -points to the Dragon under the net- He was so close when I noticed him, that if my sword was in the holster I would have died." S:"Is that so? Well, I never. -looks at 'Toothless' So, you saved my boy?" -'Toothless' nods- Well I'll be danmed. Carefully cut it free and re-restrain it. Be careful, that dragon actually saved my son." Villager:"Yes sir."

Stoik's Pov- After we came back, I went to the great hall to think. I can't believe a dragon saved my son. Hmm... -Gober walks in- G:"He- oh, sorry. Your thinking aren'ch ya?" S:"Of course I am. Did that dragon really save my son Gober? I mean, really? There stupid, bloodthirsty beasts aren't they?" G:"Well...I've met some dragons in my lifetime who didn't charge or attack me without reason, never met one that saved my life before though." S:"I want to see something tomorrow. Find me  a thunder drum." G:"Yes chief!"

-The next day- *Still Stoik's pov*

G:"Found a Thunder drum. Noisy dragon. Why did you want a Thunder drum? S:"Because, Thunder drums are smart like Night Furies." G:"Oh, well that does make sense if your testing their understanding." S:"Aye, I am." I tell Gober to release the Thunder drum, yes even the muzzle. I want it to feel free as much as it can, while still in a controlled environment. The blue beast looks me in the eye, challenging me eh? Well challenge accepted. We rush each other in an intense brawl, but to no avail from either end. S:"Put it back in it's cage!" What am I missing? H:" Dad, maybe I should try with the Night Fury. We seemed to have some sort of a connection." S:"...Very well. Let out... the Night Fury!"

Hiccups pov-
Everyone immediately came to the arena, and watched. Gober carefully took off the cuffs and the neck restraint, after he moved the Night Fury off the cart he undid the muzzle and ran to the exit... Now it's just me. And you. The dragon took the muzzle off and then side-lept towards me, he stopped and growled. I  then noticed that I still had my sword on me, I undid the belt and kicked it away. The dragon continued side-leaping  until I could almost touch him, I then put out my hand and turned my head away. It was the only gesture of trust that I could think of, a few seconds later I felt warm leathery, scaly skin on my palm. After another couple of seconds he moved his head away and went back to the cart and muzzle. Gober put everything back on and took him back to his cage, I kind of felt sorry for him. Being trapped like that. A:"You actually tamed a Night Fury!" H:"Yes, I think I did." S:" Nice work! Gober! Bring out the Thunder drum again." G:"aye chief!" Gober brought the magnificent beast back into the arena, undid everything again and ran for cover.

Stoik's pov-

Now I know what to do, and I'm ready to do it. S:"I'm very sorry about earlier, I just want to understand you. I'm so sorry." After I finished speaking I put my hand out and my head down and soon enough I felt the scaly skin of the Thunder drum. I did it. The crowd erupted with cheers and the dragon didn't attack, in fact it seemed that he wasn't even fazed by the noise. S:"Remove all restrains on all dragons, then get them ready for taming and training!"
