Night Rider (hiccstrid)

1

Hi I'm Hiccup, I live in Berk. My whole life all I wanted to do was kill dragons to impress my dad. That was of course until I met, well shot down Toothless. Ever since I've had toothless I have been getting better and better at dragon training. No one in Berk know about toothless. They would kill him. For generations Berk has been wrong about dragons and they weren't about to change their mind now. As I was saying..... dragon training. Right now i'm in the last round deciding who will get to kill the monstrous nightmare. All that's left is me and Astrid. I don't want to win. I can't no i WONT kill a dragon.
"Stay out of my way I'm winning this one"
Astrid tells me followed by one of her famous bone chilling death glares.
"By all means" I say gesturing you the deadly Nadder. She then let's out a viking war cry and runs towards the dragon axe raised. 'Oh no she's going to kill her' I thought. i have to stop this. Without even thinking about what i was doing i found the Nadders soft spot on her neck and she dropped to the ground. Once she was on the ground I was met by a very angry Astrid. "Ok well i got to go i'm uhh late for".
"late for what!" she snarled at me
Just as I was trying to get away gobber grabbed me.
"Ah not so fast lad the elder had made her decision"
He raised his hand over Astrids head and I crossed my fingers that she won but to my great disappointment she shook her head. He then moved his hand over my head. Gothi nodded her head and cheers erupted through the arena. I could hear astrid swearing under her breath as she shredded the ground with her axe.
"Son you've done it! You get to kill the dragon" Stoicks booming voice exclaimed
"Yeah I'm so excited..... i'm so"

A FEW MOMENTS LATER IN THE COVE
"Leaving.... yup we are leaving forever bud. Pack your bags. Tomorrow after the fight we are leaving. I have to at least try to show them.... show them that dragons aren't monsters." I tossed toothless some fish and after eating them he warmed a spot in the ground with his fire and went to sleep. I should probably go home now anyways. I walk home as slow as I possibly could. I don't want to deal with my father when i get home. Luckily for me my father had a little to much mead at the celebration and was passed out in the living room floor.

I did not sleep at all that night. I thought of my plan all night. Soon the light invaded my tired eyes. So i got up and after dropping all my bags at the cove I headed to the arena.

I'm standing in the back area of the arena waiting. Gobber then came to tell me they were ready. I breathed in one last shaky breath before heading into the arena greeted by the cheers of all the vikings. I go up to the weapons cart to make my choice. I grab a dagger(just so no one is suspicious and pulls me out to early) and a shield and nod to Gobber. He pulls the lever and a angry Monstrous Nightmare comes out. He lights in fire and shoots some fire into the crowd before turning his attention to me.
"I'm not one of them" i say to him
I drop my dagger and shield whilst ignoring the gasps and murmurs in the crowd. The only reason my dad hasn't stopped is he probably thinks i'm going to take in on with my bare hands. Further proving how little he knows me. I take off my helmet and throw is far away and slowly approach. The nightmare calms down a little and puts out his fire. Taking this as a good sign I put my hand out and approach slowly. Once i'm close enough i stretch my hand out and turn away.

I feel a warm scale covered snout on my hand and breath out a sigh of relief. I let the dragons head and he nuzzles my hand and rolls on his back for me to pet his stomach.
"Dragons are not monsters just misunderstood" I yell to the crowd
"Enough stop the fight" My dad says
"No dad they need to see we were wrong" I knew my dad would be the hardest to convince being the chief.
"I said stop the fight!" He screams the. hits his hammer off the cage startling the dragon in the process. He lights his fire again and jumps up. He roars and starts to come closer to me. I know I won't be able to calm him down again.
"TOOTHLESS" I scream at the top of my lungs. People give me confused looks but I hear a roar confirming he is coming.
"Dad look what you have done. The dragon was calm and happy and you had to anger it. If it wasn't for dragons i would probably die right now." I say still backing away from the nightmare.
"What do you mean. No dragon is helping you" Stoick my father asks and I hear a wing beat. I smile knowing i'm safe. A screech echoes and someone screams
"Night fury get down"
"Dad you need to change not all dragons are bad" The monstrous nightmare was getting closer and closer. Toothless blows a whole in the arena with a plasma blast and lands in front of me and snarls at the nightmare. As i hop on his back the nightmare let's out a blast of fire. Toothless goes to fly away but the fire catches up. I feel the pain especially in my leg before I passed out.

I awoke in a dark cave I didn't recognize with Toothless next to me. My bags were also here somehow. Toothless probably went back for them the thoughtful dragon. I went to get up but fell over. I looked down at my legs. Or leg? One of my legs was gone up to my knee. It was a shock especially because it was completely healed. But i also knew toothless had strong healing properties in his saliva so he was most likely responsible for that. I wasn't that upset. Most vikings lost a limb sometime in life and it shouldn't be that hard or make another leg. I scratched Toothless behind the ear.
" Thank you toothless, you saved my life"
