How to Love Your Dragon Far away...on the Island of Berk, deep in the highlands of Scotland. Lived a world where vikings… and dragons lived in peace and harmony… but… not all things were pure. Case in point...King Grendel, who had married the tribe chief Stoick the Vast and now taken his son, Hiccup. Who was a scrawny boy, and the least threatening viking in the tribe. But...Hiccup was a bit apprehensive about Grendel in his family. Only reason he dealt with this… was because of his dad. But… a couple years later… Stoick died… leaving Hiccup in Grendel’s care. And Hiccup was shocked to find that Grendel, despite his handsome looks, was evil and he only cared about his own beauty and the power it granted him. To protect that power, King Grendel kept a magic mirror that could answer but one question: "Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" As long as the mirror answered in the king's favor, Hiccup was safe from Grendel's cruel jealousy. However, since Stoick was no more, he forced Hiccup into life as a servant. The dragons were driven out of the kingdom and the king claimed all of Berk's resources for himself. Even though Hiccup was abused, he still stayed as kind as he can. He had often heard how most of the dragons were causing trouble for the kingdom nowadays and since Grendel came into power, all the people had turned to dragon slaying as their new profession and turning farmers into soldiers loyal only to the king himself. But… Hiccup would never harm or hurt a dragon, never. He wanted be friendly and kind to the dragons. One day, while he was mopping the floors, he thought he heard a sound in the pantry. And there was a dragon with black, shiny scales stuffing a bag full of food. Hiccup gasped, it was one of the rarest dragon breeds… a Night Fury. "A Night Fury… I've read about them..." The Night Fury in question perked an ear up and turned to see Hiccup. "Don't mind me," he said as he was stuffing some potatoes into a sack, "I'm just browsing." Hiccup yelped, "A-A-An anthro dragon?!" He gasped. This was even more rare for him to see in person! "You were expecting the cook?” asked the Night Fury, "Name’s Toothless. Look, are you just gonna stand there and look stupid or help yourself to whatever's here?" "Oh! Sorry, I'm just… so caught off guard here cause… I never saw a Night Fury or someone special as you." Hiccup said nervously as he walks up to the Night Fury. "Yeah, well, you'd be surprised if you learned to get out more," said Toothless as he then moved onto the fruits, "But flattery won't stop me from taking what's here and feeding my hungry friends." “Well… I'm sorry, I usually don't go out often… my stepfather… the king… has me working around the kingdom." "Your stepfather?" asked Toothless, "Give me a break. You expect me to believe that you're Hiccup? Honestly, what kind of a name is 'Hiccup'? Anyway, I should be going. Take some food for yourself." He grabbed his bag and brushed past Hiccup. Hiccup was a bit insulted. "Hey! Excuse me! I am the prince! But at least I'm not some low rent dragon thief." But Hiccup thought about what Toothless said about the dragon's friends being hungry. He decided to go talk to the king about it. Grendel was sitting alone at a long dining table when Hiccup walked in. "Hiccup, have you finished your chores?" asked Grendel as he kept eating from his plate. “Y-Yes, Stepfather… but there's something I must talk to you…" "It's important we all do our share," he said dismissively. "That's what I came to talk to you about," said Hiccup shyly, "Sharing." Grendel looked up and then set his utensils down and then snapped his fingers as two viking servants brought forward a stool for Hiccup to sit next to the king in. Grendel watched as the boy came up and sat down. "Please," he said to Hiccup, "You were saying?" "I think...we should give the dragons more food...they're obviously starving! And we've been taking their rations!" "Since when do you care for the very beasts who killed your father?" asked Grendel, "And secondly, I really don't remember you being this opinionated." “Look… Dad… Things have changed… The dragons are starving. And… We've done nothing for them… And I don't wanna be seen as a killer." "And when was the last time you were seen as anything?" sneered Grendel as he strolled over to a vase of flowers, "In the meantime, here's a tidbit for you. Observe." He held up a rose and sniffed it in front of Hiccup. "Ravishing, isn't it?" he asked before producing a diamond in one hand and Grendel made the rose turn to ash in his hands, "One is weak, useless, fragile. The other hard, unyielding, everlasting, flawless, beautiful. My subjects don't want a flower. They want a diamond." Just then, a viking came in dragging Toothless in. Hiccup gasped at seeing Toothless dragged in. "Your highness, this dragon filth was caught in the scullery pilfering royal supplies," said the viking as he revealed the bag of stolen food. Grendel stepped forward looking the dragon over. "Are you one of the dragons who claim to steal in Stoick's name?" he asked. "Not one of them," snarled Toothless, "I'm the boss." Grendel smirked as he said, "Find his nest and burn it to the ground." "Funny thing is, I don't have a nest," retorted Toothless. "Then take him to the dungeons," said Grendel, "Fill the castle with his cries." "No! Please!" Hiccup stopped. "This dragon doesn't deserve death… and he didn't steal in my father's name…" Hiccup said as he walks over. Grendel stiffened and looked back at Hiccup. "What did you say?" he asked darkly. "Father?" asked Toothless when realization donned on him. Hiccup eeped and nervously backed off a bit, feeling scared. "You know what, you're right," said Grendel, "This thief stole from me. So, I will steal from him. Remove his clothes and shoes and bind him to the gates to freeze." Toothless gulped nervously. "You know, is the dungeon still an option?" he asked. "Take him away!" declared Grendel as the viking dragged Toothless out. "Hiccup," snapped Grendel as he pulled the boy to a mirror, "Look at yourself. Isn't this what you want? Go on. Speak to your people. Your subjects await you, Hiccup. Your dreams and your words. What will you tell them? That you would rather feed the dragons and let the people starve for them? You live in a world of dreams. Go back to your room, Hiccup." With that, he walked out of the room leaving poor Hiccup alone. Hiccup's green eyes welled up and he fell to his knees, sobbing softly. Meanwhile, Toothless was bound to the front gates completely naked except for his loincloth. He could feel the air brushing against his bare scales. “Hey… hey!" Hiccup whispered. Toothless looked around when he felt someone untie him from the gate. He turned around and saw Hiccup standing behind the gate. Hiccup gently held a sword and began to cut the bindings, "I'm gonna get you out of here." Once Toothless was finally free, he turned to face Hiccup. "Come with me," he whispered. Hiccup gasped, "Y-Yes! Please!" "Really?" asked Toothless, but before they could, the vikings were coming. "I'll come back for you," he whispered before taking off into the air. Hiccup nods. “Thanks, Toothless…" Up on his balcony, Grendel was watching and he turned back into his room and walked to his mirror. "Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" he asked as the hollow face appeared in the mirror. "Hair, brown as leaves, skin white as snow, eyes green as grass… Hiccup Horrendous Haddock… is the fairest…” "NO!" yelled Grendel full of rage. An hour later, he was sitting at his vanity when Gobber, the royal blacksmith and huntsman entered. "Take Hiccup far into the forest," said Grendel, "Find him a secluded river where he can go fishing, and there, my faithful Gobber, kill him." "What? B-But I've known Hiccup for years… I wouldn't do that to him!" "And I'm your king," said Grendel sharply, "It was Hiccup who set the dragon free. He's plotting against me. Now, tell me, are you against me too?" Gobber hesitated when Grendel whipped his head around to face him. "Are you?" snapped the king angrily, "Yes or no?" "No..." Grendel stood and held a box in his hands. "Take him to the forest. Kill him," he said handing Gobber the box, "Cut out his heart. Put it in this box. On your return, you will have anything your heart desires." "Yes...my king." Gobber said reluctantly. Later that day, Hiccup was following Gobber through the forest with their fishing gear. "It feels good to be outside again," said Hiccup smiling as he breathed in the fresh air. "Yes...yes it does Lad..it really does." Before long, they arrived at the river. "I haven't gone fishing like this since I was a boy," said Hiccup distracted with the line in the water, "At least, I was with my dad back then. No matter how busy he was, he'd always try to make time for me." However, he heard the ringing sound of a blade being drawn and he saw Gobber stepping forward with a knife on his left implanted arm. "Gobber... What are you doing?" asked Hiccup nervously. But...Gobber couldn't do it...he then groans and then stabs the side of the boat. "Oh I can't do it Hiccup! I've known you ever since you were a baby. I can't kill my best friends son...the King...he's jealous of you! He wants me to kill you!" Gobber said. "Wait... Kill me?" asked Hiccup, "But why? Why would he be jealous of me?" "Because of your beauty and your looks Hiccup!" "But... What do I do?" asked Hiccup feeling scared, "I can't go back to the castle." "You have to run Hiccup...and get away from here, find somewhere safe!" "What about you?" asked Hiccup, "Won't you come with me?" “No… He needs proof that I killed you Lad… If I don't do something… He's gonna find out." Gobber said, holding Hiccup's shoulders. "You have to leave without me…" Hiccup then hugged Gobber. "I'll miss you," he whimpered before letting go and running off into the woods away from Gobber, away from the village and away from everyone he knew. He ran out and then gasped as he felt like the entire forest was a huge monster. He could swear that the trees had eyes and pointy teeth and hands trying to grab at him. He screamed and fell into a lake, and then he could see that the logs were turning into alligators, snapping their jaws at him and he swam away as quickly as he could until he felt surrounded. Hiccup then screamed in terror and fell to the ground, sobbing into his arms. Just then, small, tiny dragons came crawling out and cautiously approached the sobbing human. One got closer and started to sniff at him. Hiccup was still crying hard until he saw the little dragon and screamed in fright. The little dragons screeched and either ran down small holes or flew up into the trees to hide. "No wait! Please! Come back! I- I didn't mean to scare you!" Hiccup begged. "I'm really sorry… It's just… I don't know if you guys knew what I went through…" Hiccup said. One of the tiny dragons came up to Hiccup sniffing him again but then nuzzled him. Hiccup recognized the species as Terrible Terrors, but at that moment, they didn't seem terrible at all. If anything it looked like they knew what Hiccup was going through and they cared enough to want to help. "And it was all because I was afraid. Oh, I'm so ashamed of myself." Hiccup said but then gently pets one of the Terrible Terrors. The Terrors snuggled up to Hiccup and began purring. Then one of them began drawing in the dirt with a stick. And when he finished, there was a clumsy picture of Hiccup. The tiny dragon kept the stick in his mouth but then handed it to Hiccup and gestured at the drawing to show what could make him feel better. "Aww thanks… but… I got nowhere to go now… I left my home." Hiccup said and sighed sadly. The Terrors then gathered and were warbling with each other until one of them started tugging at Hiccup's shirt sleeve hoping to lead him somewhere. Hiccup gently stood up and followed the Terrors They led him out of the forest and over to a cliff dwelling where there was a small cottage on top. And in the side of the cliff, the Terrors flew in and landed on a huge level platform. The Terror by Hiccup's side led the human up to the cottage and then looked up at the human gesturing him to enter. "Wow...this is cute...is this the Dragons Nest?" He asked the Terrors. The little dragons warbled and hopped up and down scratching at the door but nobody answered. Hiccup gently walked inside, "Hmm..whoever lived here sure left in a hurry…" The Terrors looked around and led Hiccup down to where there was a hallway with six doors. Each one had a name: "Hookfang", "Barf & Belch", "Meatlug", "Stormfly", "Cloudjumper", and "Toothless." "Wait? Toothless lives here?" Hiccup gasped in surprised. The little dragons pushed open the bedroom door with all their might to allow Hiccup to enter. "Wow...this needs a little bit of cleaning." He then smiles at the Terrors, "Think you can help me?" The tiny dragons stood at attention ready to help anyway they could. "Alright guys...let's get to work." Hiccup smiled. And so, they set to work cleaning up the entire base inside and out. They all went into each room and began cleaning up burn marks, smashed furniture and the occasional gnawed fishbones. Hiccup happily cleaned up as well while working with the Terrors. When night finally fell, the Terrors followed Hiccup to the bedrooms. Hiccup gently strips off his vest and pants, cuddling up...in Toothless' bed, sniffing the scent and smiled warmly, "Smells just like him..." he sighed, thinking of Toothless. Hiccup, still in his long tunic, fell asleep in the Night Fury's bed. The Terrors also fell asleep in the other bedrooms. But they all scurried out of the house leaving Hiccup behind as they heard the flapping of wings as six anthro dragons landed on the cliffside platform. One of the dragons was Toothless, the others were his friends. A Deadly Nadder female, a female Gronkle, a male Monstrous Nightmare, a twin-headed Hideous Zippleback, and a male Stormcutter. Toothless still in his loincloth, "Heh, I tell ya what guys...that was our best raid yet." Toothless smirked. "Yeah, and maybe enough to keep your pants on," joked the Nightmare, "Barf. Belch. What do we have?" Toothless huffed, "Like you're any better Hookfang..maybe wear a more subtle loincloth.." he taunts, flapping Hookfangs short goat skinned loincloth up a bit showing his butt. And the Zippleback looked at their cache. "Okay...got a good amount of fish...and oooh! Even some sheep limbs. And..." Barf began. "I...think we got.." Belch said but now taking out a big fork. "You dummy! How we supposed to eat that?!" Barf growled to his twin. "Hello, we melt it, dumbass!" Belch snapped. "Alright, enough you two," said the Nadder knocking Barf and Belch's heads together. "I'll see about getting dinner cooked," said the Gronkle but paused, "Hey... Did we leave the light on?" Barf and Belch yelp and whined as they rub their heads. "No...did you?" The Stormcutter asked. "I don't think so.." Toothless said. Hookfang sniffed. "There's a stranger here," he growled as his body began to light on fire. The Nadder rolled her eyes, "Oh be quiet Hookfang..." Stormfly huffed. "Hey! We worked hard to keep ourselves fed," snapped Hookfang, "Plus, I haven't eaten anything all day because Meatlug ate all the leftovers." The Gronkle looked upset. "I have a big appetite," she said defensively. "Well that's an understatement," scoffed Barf making Belch chuckle. Toothless, Stormfly and Cloudjumper, all gave Barf, Belch and Hookfang unimpressed looks, and used their tails to strike them on their heads The three of them rubbed their heads as they entered their home. "Hey... The floor's been swept," said Meatlug. "Chair's have been dusted," said Hookfang running a claw on one of them. "Everything's been absolutely clean.." Cloudjumper mused as he looked around. Hookfang huffed but then he ran up to his room and flung the door open. "Somebody's been in my room!" he growled, "And it's clean too!" Barf and Belch looked in theirs. "Someone's cleaned ours too," added Belch. "Hey! Someone cleaned mine up." Meatlug called. "Mine as well." Stormfly shouted. "Same here," said Cloudjumper and then all eyes fell on Toothless as he peered inside. "Someone's in my bed," he whispered as they all slowly crept inside to see who it was. All the dragons followed in and then...Toothless was surprised to see who it was. The same soft brown hair, the freckled face, and that little dorky smile. "Hiccup.." Toothless said softly. "You know him?" asked Stormfly surprised. "Oh, he looks so sweet," sighed Meatlug. "Sweet?" scoffed Hookfang, "He's a human. And all humans are nothing but trouble. They're full of wicked wiles." "Uh... What are wicked wiles?" asked Barf nervously. "I don't know," said Hookfang, "But I'm agin 'em." "Shhh!" hushed Cloudjumper, "Not so loud. You'll wake him up." But the Monstrous Nightmare wasn't having it. "Ah, let him wake up! He doesn't belong here anyway!" he snapped. But then Meatlug gasped. "Look out! He's waking up!" she whispered, "Hide!" They all hid down as Hiccup gently fluttered his eyes and yawns, stretching his arms and muscles. As he stretched, he saw seven heads peering up at him from the end of the bed. Hiccup yelped and hid under the blankets. The dragons ducked down again but peered up one by one. "Toothless!" Hiccup smiled! "And, I- I can't believe it! Other dragons as well!" "Well, when I invited you to come with me, I didn't expect you to come out here alone," said Toothless and was about to introduce everyone but Hiccup stopped him. “Well… I wasn't actually alone… per say." Hiccup smiled as the Terrors flew in. "They actually brought me here. And I think I know who you are. Stormfly, Cloudjumper, Meatlug, Barf, Belch." Then grins playfully, "And I think that grumpy big boy is Hookfang." He said. They all laughed when they heard Hiccup call Hookfang grumpy. "That's Hookfang alright," guffawed Meatlug. Hookfang growled in annoyance, "No I am not grumpy!" He snapped. Toothless smirked, "Yeah...and I'm Jack Frost." He teased. "Of course not," scoffed Hookfang, "Now that we've been introduced, tell him to get out!" Toothless snarled, "I am not throwing him out." He stood protectively in front of Hiccup, opening his wings. "Please don't," said Hiccup, "If you do, he'll kill me." "Kill you?" they all gasped in shock. "Who will?" asked Barf. "My stepfather, King Grendel," said Hiccup. "The King?!" everyone gasped. "Then...that means, you're the Prince?!" Stormfly gasped. "All the more reason he has to leave," snapped Hookfang, "I'm warning you. If the king finds him here, he'll capture us with his army and skin us all alive!" "No please! I have nowhere to go. I can't go back! If I do, he'll kill me!" Hiccup said. "No way I'm letting you go back Hiccup. You'll stay with me...I promise." Toothless smiled. "I object!" snapped Hookfang. "Noted," replied Cloudjumper and then turned to Hiccup, "Don't worry, son. You're safe from the king here." Hiccup smiled, but for some reason… When he looked at Cloudjumper, he couldn't quite tell but… The Stormcutter felt very familiar to him. "I'll bet you don't remember me," said Cloudjumper seeing the look of recognition on Hiccup's face, "But then, you were only a baby when we first met." "Y-You knew me?" “Yep… And your mother, Valka, was my rider," he said, "And it seems you and Toothless are destined for each other." "M-My mom?!" Hiccup gasped. "Yes," said Cloudjumper and lowered his head, "It was sad to see her pass away after giving birth to you... But she trusted me enough to meet her child for the first time." Hiccup felt his heart shatter, "Mom.." Hiccup said sadly. "But know that she loved you and your father, Stoick, with all her heart," said the older dragon. "So... Who's hungry?" asked Meatlug and everyone looked at her like she wasn't supposed to say a word. “Meatlug… Not the time." Stormfly said. "Sorry," said Meatlug sheepishly as her stomach growled interrupting the moment again. "Anyway...you're gonna be sleeping with me Hiccup...besides, it's better than sleeping with Hookfang I'll tell ya that." Toothless teased, holding Hiccup close. "Hey!" snapped Hookfang, "I only set my bed on fire one time when I was having a nightmare. Will you let it go?" "Well that… and any other dragon you try to get into your bed… pretty much left blue balling you." Toothless teased making his roommates chuckle and Hookfang blushing deeply. "Come on, Meatlug," said Hookfang, "I'm starved." Just then, they smelled something cooking in the kitchen. "Oh! My soup!" Hiccup got dressed and ran over to the kitchen. The dragons all paused and sniffed the air. "Mmmm.... Something smells good," sighed Belch grinning. “Oh… I cooked up some soup up for you guys… I wasn't sure what you liked so… I just cooked this up." Hiccup smiled. Meatlug hovered near the soup pot as Hiccup started stirring but Cloudjumper pulled her back. "You know the rules," he said, "Wash first, eat second." "Yes, I think it's about time all of us washed up." Toothless said. "And what about the human?" asked Hookfang as Cloudjumper sniffed Hiccup. "He's already washed earlier," said the older dragon, "With Toothless's favorite bar of soap too, no less." Toothless sniffed Hiccup. "I thought I sniffed me on you." Toothless teased making Hiccup blush. "Well, you heard him," said Stormfly, "Let's get cleaned up." She ushered the others down another hall that led to the giant washroom they all shared. Hiccup smiled and began cooking while the dragons get all cleaned up. Hookfang just sulked against the wall. "Humans," he scoffed, "You give them an inch and they walk all over you." Toothless narrows his eyes and uses his tail to whip Hookfang on his rump. The Nightmare yelped and fell into the pool of water. He came up with steam coming off his body. "You did that on purpose!" he snapped and began to chase the Night Fury. Toothless smirked and then laughs as he ran. It wasn't until Cloudjumper stepped in and grabbed them both. "Knock it off, you two," he growled, "Unless you want me to put you two on guard duty, I suggest you get yourselves cleaned." "He's the one who started it… If he wasn't so quick to judge Hiccup,” Toothless huffed as he took his loincloth off and washes his body. "I don't care who started it," snapped Cloudjumper, "All I know is that I'm finishing it." Then he whispered to Toothless. "I know you're about to go into your rut cycle," he said softly, "And I smelled Hiccup was an omega. And you know what happens when an alpha breeds an omega." "He gets pregnant,” Toothless said softly. "Yes, and that young human will go into heat if he catches the scent of your pheromones," said Cloudjumper, "But you have to let him accept you first without you urging him into it." "Yes...besides...I think Hiccup is the cutest boy I ever met." Toothless sighed, gaining a small smile as he blushes gently. After they got cleaned up, along with everyone cleaning Hookfang by force, all the dragons filed into the dinning area where Hiccup had set up bowls of steaming, hot soup. Hookfang grumbled as he was being cleaned by force. Toothless' snout sniffed the warmth of the soup. "Mmm...that smells so good.." Hiccup smiled. "Thanks. Found some ingredients and a recipe for clam chowder. Hope my cooking's any good," he said. And all the dragons ate...and their eyes widen in bliss. "Mmmm! I'm definitely having seconds," said Meatlug as she nearly ate her entire bowl. "Very hungry, weren’t ya?" "She's practically a bottomless pit," sniggered Hookfang as he ate his soup, "And not gonna lie, this is actually better than Stormfly's cooking." "Hey!" snapped the Nadder glaring at Hookfang. "You...better watch it mister...or you're gonna be looking at needles in your butt for the next day." The Nadder growled. Hookfang gulped and looked at her. "You wouldn't dare!" he gasped. "Try me," she snarled. "Alright now...that's enough." Toothless stepped in. Hiccup chuckled. "Is this normal or is it something you do among friends?" he asked sitting next to Toothless but for some reason, he felt himself getting warmer. "That's just how we are..living together as roommates..you get pretty used to it." Toothless said, feeling the warmth...and trying… very very… VERY hard not to give in to his sexual alpha tendencies. "So... You don't mind if I become your new roommate?" asked Hiccup looking up at Toothless, "I can look after things here while you're... You're... What is it that you guys do again?" "We mostly just do raids and search for food. And, I don't mind at all… as long as you're here with me." Toothless smiled softly. Hiccup smiled but frowned. "Thanks... No one's ever been this nice to me in a long time," he said, "Ever since my dad passed away, Grendel always treats me so coldly. And everyone else in the village thinks I'm just a weak nuisance that shouldn't belong anywhere." Toothless frowned softly, gently wrapping his left wing around Hiccup's shoulders, "I don't think you're weak… I just think you are strong but… you just don't know it yet…" Hiccup smiled up at Toothless feeling drawn to him, but the moment was ruined when Belch let out a loud burp. "Excuse me," he said blushing. "Way to ruin the moment," muttered Barf. Toothless narrows his eyes and huffed. After dinner, everyone retired to their rooms with Hiccup following behind Toothless. "Uh... Is there a couch or something I can sleep on?" he said, "I don't wanna take up any space on your bed or anything you're uncomfortable with." But inside, he was hoping to be by the Night Fury's side that night and his insides were burning up and he was starting to sweat. “Actually… I really do want you to sleep with me… I don't want ya to feel lonely." Toothless said. Feeling his alpha side slowly come out but...he fought it and gave Hiccup his soft smile. Hiccup looked up blushing as he felt his head grow fuzzy and he stumbled a little. "Th-Thanks," he stammered as he removed his boots but paused, “Uh… I usually sleep in the nude. That won't be a problem, will it?" Toothless smirked softly, "I don't mind at all." He teased, giving Hiccup a playful whip of his tail on his rump. Hiccup yelped but chuckled nervously as he finally slipped out of his clothes and looked at the black anthro dragon laying down in the bed before him. The human cautiously slipped in and he slowly took in the Night Fury's scent. Toothless gently laid down next to Hiccup and took the human very carefully into his arms and held him close, nuzzling him protectively. "Nobody's held me like this in a long time," whispered Hiccup as thoughts of his father came back to him and tears ran down the human's cheeks. “Shh… I'm here for you, Hiccup… No way I'm letting anyone hurt you…” Hiccup buried his face into Toothless' chest letting the tears run down the scaly body. Their shared body heat and pheromones were filling the room and the human felt Toothless nuzzling him. Toothless smiled and then curled up, holding Hiccup close and closed his eye. Meanwhile, King Grendel had the heart box nearby as he stepped in front of the mirror. "Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?" asked Grendel feeling smug and triumphant until the mirror answered: "Far beyond the castle wall, somewhere in the forest dwells Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, fairest one of all." "No," growled Grendel feeling his anger rising. "I am only bound by what is true," said the mirror, "The fairest lives. He is not you." The face in the mirror faded and Grendel looked inside the box only to find a single fish hook and bobber. "I've been tricked!" he snarled as he slammed the box shut and later in the throne room, Gobber was brought before the king and flung to the floor. "You dare to disobey me?" he asked the blacksmith, who looked like he received a beating before being summoned. "I'd never hurt the son of my TRUE king… Stoick was wrong to marry you!" "Well, I have no need for advice from a useless, one-armed cripple like you," scoffed Grendel, "And besides, all is fair when you're the fairest of all. Guards! Take him to the dungeons and let him starve for the rest of his days!" "You were never the fairest, Hiccup is! And when he comes back, you'll be sorry!" Gobber shouted as he was dragged off. Grendel stormed over and slapped Gobber hard. "I will not hear those words coming from you again. Remove his peg leg and arm implants. Let's see how you manage without your accessories." With that, the guards beat up Gobber again and dragged him away. "Where are those new dragon slayer interns?" he growled when a group of viking teenagers came in and bowed before the king. "You called, your majesty." Astrid asked, bowing down. "Yes," said Grendel turning to a young girl, "Hiccup has gone missing in the forest. I want you take some warriors with you and find Hiccup... And don't come back without him. You know the penalty if you fail." "Y-Yes your majesty..." Astrid said. "Now go, and find that boy," he snarled making Astrid bow and hurry out of the throne room as quick as her legs could carry her. Outside, there were four other teens talking with each other. Astrid nods but as soon as she walks out...she glared in secret, "I really hate working for that man." She muttered silently as she walks to her friends. "So, what's the mission, Astrid?" asked a bulky viking boy with brown fur covering his body and very wobbly legs. "We have to find Hiccup… and bring him back to the king." Astrid said. “Ugh… why do we have to bring Hiccup back? I'm pretty sure he was never happy around that old bag anyway." Tuffnut huffed. "Yeah, and I don't think he was much good at hunting dragons like us either," added Ruffnut, "Besides, what's the hurry? We have time to kill." Astrid narrows her eyes, “Guys… look… if we fail Grendel… and believe me… I don't wanna hunt Hiccup either… but if we fail… Grendel will punish us." "Punish us how?" asked another boy with dark hair and a helmet with curved horns, "Is he gonna make us do all of Hiccup's chores because that loser's too weak to do it himself anymore?" Astrid narrows her eyes, "He will execute us, you idiot!” All four teens froze. “He… He would do that?" asked the bulky kid. "Well, yeah," said Tuffnut, "I heard he already tossed Gobber away for disobeying him… Don't know what Grendel asked him to do though. All I know is that the king was pissed as hell!” “Yes, Fishlegs… look, let's just find Hiccup, and bring him back, that's all." Astrid said. "That loser's so clumsy that he'll stick out like a sore thumb," said the other viking boy. "Uh, it's easy to get lost in the forest, Snotlout," said Fishlegs, "I suggest pairing up with partners before entering." "No...all of us are going together. It's too risky to go into the forest if we split up." Astrid said. "Ugh! Fine," groaned Snotlout, "But don't come crying to me if you get scared, Fishlegs." The bulky viking boy gulped and settled next to Astrid. "I was just saying that we could cover more ground that way," he said, "I was just trying to help." "I know but… from what I heard, it's easy to get lost in the forest… and also even more dangerous if we get separated..it's easier if we stick together." "I do have some rope to keep us attached," said Fishlegs. "Oh, so we're supposed to capture ourselves and waltz back to the king and say 'Hey! We caught us!' Yeah, great plan," muttered Tuffnut. "Probably not the best idea," added Ruffnut. Astrid twitches her eyebrow then… smacks the Nut twins on their heads, "Enough! We've wasted enough time… now, let's get going. We need to move before nightfall, the forest is at its most dangerous when the sun's down.” Back at the nest cottage, Hiccup was busy cooking fish for everyone while the Terrors were hanging up the laundry. Hiccup was happily humming while he worked around. Toothless sighing blissfully as he watches. "Someone's looking happy," said Stormfly as she came in standing next to Toothless. "Why else...I think I just found my soul mate.." Toothless smiled goofily as he watches Hiccup. "I'll say... You've been making goo-goo eyes at him all day and all of last night," she said and then asked, "So... Have you asked him yet?" But Toothless looked down and that said it all. "You didn't mate yet... Did you?" she asked, "Well, the longer you wait, the more intense your rut's gonna be. And you know how insatiable an alpha's rut can be if he doesn't mate soon." "I know but… I'm afraid that if I get too rough with him… I'll scare him off." Toothless sighed. "Well, they say honesty is the best policy," she said, "Besides, how rough do you have to be to claim a mate?" "Not too rough..but rough enough to assert your dominance." "Well, when you put it like that," said Stormfly, "Better tell him sooner before you have to resort to being... Too rough to handle." Outside, Hiccup had come out to check the laundry when he was startled by a familiar voice. "Found you!" And Astrid and her gang came up to Hiccup. "About time!" groaned Snotlout, "My feet were killing me from just walking this far!" Hiccup yelped and turned around, nervously grinning. "H-Hey guys! W-What's up?" "What's up? We've been sent to look for you and bring you home and all you can say is 'what's up'?" asked Astrid. "Well, that is a usual greeting," replied Fishlegs, "Or even-" "Shut it!" snapped Astrid as she looked around, "Guys... I think we've found a dragon's nest. This is our chance!" "No! Don't guys! You can't harm the dragons!" Hiccup protested. But Astrid bent Hiccup's hand back making him fall to the ground. "That's for making us look for you," she said before dropping the butt of her axe onto his crotch, "And that's for everything else." Hiccup yelped and gulped nervously but then...a huge burst of fire came out and Toothless flew in, growling angrily, "No one...touches him!" Toothless snarled, standing protectively in front of Hiccup, his wings out and his eyes narrowed into slits. "He's just one dragon," scoffed Snotlout with confidence, "We can take him." "What makes you think there's only one?" said a voice and Hookfang appeared from behind setting Snotlout's butt on fire. Snotlout yelped and squealed like a little girl, running around with his butt on fire until he sat in the lake and sighed in relief. The twins barely had time to react as green smoke appeared beneath him followed by someone burping making the green smoke ignite into fire. Barf and Belch appeared behind them. "I never get tired of that," chuckled Belch. Then Stormfly came out and shot spikes from her tail making them land in front of Astrid. "Step away from the prince and no harm will come to you," she said firmly. Astrid narrows her eyes, "Look, we didn't come here for trouble...we just came to Hiccup, and we'll be on our way..." she said just as firm. Toothless snarled, "Over my dead body." Fishlegs was unsure how to help when Meatlug came up to him. "Say, you're kind of cute," she said tracing a claw under Fishlegs' chin. "Perhaps you children don't know Grendel's true intention for Hiccup," said Cloudjumper as he landed next to them. Hiccup turned to Astrid. "The King wants me dead," he said making the teens freeze and hesitate. "What? Dead? Why would he want you dead?" Astrid asked. "I don't know. Gobber said something about me being better than him, I think?" said Hiccup, "But all I know is that I am not going back there. Gobber told me to stay away from Grendel and that's just what I'm trying to do.” "By playing housekeeper to dragons?!" Snotlout said incredulously. "Well, I'm treated better here than in the castle," said Hiccup stepping closer to Toothless, "Plus... I kind of grown fond of this place." Toothless smirks and held his soul mate, "He's staying with us." He said firmly. "I'm sorry, but Grendel said not to come back without him," said Astrid, "What are we supposed to do now?" "Why not stay out here for a while? I can show you around," said Hiccup. "Hmph...hang around a bunch of big dragons...no thanks." Snotlout scoffed. Hookfang on the other paw growled, "We don't take kindly to those who reject...our hospitality...now...you listen to me...you hairless ape! You, stay with us!" Hookfang snarled in Snotlouts face making him pale. But Hiccup whistled loudly. "This is exactly how Grendel wants everyone to act: having hatred for each other, mistrusting one another. That's how he wins. He's poisoned everyone into thinking that it's every species for themselves," he said, "But if we can give up our meager scraps, we will inherit what was meant for all of us. And it's more than any of us can imagine. And my father Stoick told me that Berk is place where people looked out for each other like family whether they were dragons or humans. It just requires faith in each other." Then Hiccup looked at Astrid. "So... Will you stay? Just for a while?" he asked. The young girl sighed and looked to Cloudjumper. "Got any beds to spare?" she asked. "Only in each of our rooms. Except mine and Hiccup is with Toothless. Barf & Belch, Hookfang, Meatlug and Stormfly are the only ones with spare beds." Cloudjumper replied. "You can bunk with me... Astrid was it?" asked Stormfly as she settled up to her new roommate. "I'll have this hot hunk of a man," said Meatlug clinging onto Fishlegs. "Yes that's my name." Astrid replied while Fishlegs blushed deeply and smiled sheepishly, "Oh my." He said shyly. While Barf & Belch look at the twins, "Guess this means all of us are rooming together." Belch said. "Hey, it won't be so bad," said Barf looking to Ruffnut and Tuffnut, "They kind of remind me of us in a way, you know?" That left Hookfang and Snotlout glaring at each other and turned their backs on each other in a huff. "They kinda do." Belch said. While Hookfang growls, "And I'm supposed to be rooming...with this...pinhead?" Hookfang grumbled. "Look who's talking," scoffed Snotlout, "But I'll stay on my side of the room if he stays in his." "That's fine with me." Hookfang snapped. Hiccup sighed and looked to Toothless. "Well, I guess the nest just got bigger, bud," he said and hugged the Night Fury whispering, "Thank you for giving them a chance." "Yes it has. And you're welcome Hiccup." Toothless purred, but..yet his urges still slowly advancing. "Uh... Do you... Need to go inside?" asked Hiccup and looked down at the bulge in the dragon's loincloth. The human understood what that meant. "Uh, Cloudjumper, could you take care of things here?" he asked the Stormcutter who nodded. Hiccup helped Toothless up to his room and locked the door behind them. "Toothless, is there something you wanna tell me?" he asked cautiously. Toothless...at this point knew he couldn't hide it any longer. He then grabs Hiccup, wrapping his arms around his waist and kisses him deeply. Hiccup yelped from the impact, but something inside him tells the human to let it go and allow Toothless to have him. He wraps his arms around the dragon's neck while returning the kiss. Toothless kisses Hiccup and held him lovingly while gently groping his rump. After a moment, Hiccup broke the kiss panting heavily. "You've been wanting me for some time... Haven't you?" he asked as his head felt dizzy and he held onto the dragon to steady himself. "Yes...yes I have...and Hiccup, i'm an alpha dragon...and when I see an omega being...the alpha has very powerful urges to mate..." Toothless said. "Wait... I'm an omega?" asked Hiccup, "What does that mean? What's an omega?" "Basically like the system in a pack of wolves. The top male is the alpha, while the more submissive males are the omegas..." "So, what? Does that mean we're soulmates?" asked Hiccup blushing, "Because it kind of makes sense why I wanted you the moment I first saw you." "Yes...we are." Toothless said. Hiccup smiled as he kissed the dragon again as he felt something burning with in his chest. Not painful but full of desire and passion. A need to be complete. Toothless soon kisses the human back, holding him tight and close. Soon Hiccup found his tunic being pulled up over his head and he moaned as he felt Toothless lick and nip at his neck and trail kisses along the human's chest. Toothless then gently kissed down Hiccup's chest and neck, licking at his nipples and pale skin gently. Before long, the boy was naked under the dragon and his cock throbbed hard and pre began leaking from the tip. "Toothless... This... It's my first time," he said blushing, "Please... Be gentle with me." Toothless smirked, "I'll bring gentle my love.." he then opens his muzzle and began to lick and suckle at his mates cock. Hiccup moaned as Toothless began sucking on him. The sensation felt electrifying in a way that made the human moan even louder and his body even more sensitive to the dragon's touch. Toothless smirked and uses his long tongue to slowly slurp and wrap around his soul mates cock. "Oh... Toothless," whimpered Hiccup as his body temperature was rising and the dragon could smell that his human omega was going into heat. The human let out a gasp as he felt a finger slowly push inside his butt hole. Toothless growls in dominance as he pushes his clawed finger in and thrusts it gently. Hiccup whimpered clinging to Toothless tightly. "It... It feels weird... But good at the same time," he stammered looking up at the Night Fury who took a moment to gently nuzzle his human lover. "It'll feel real good in a bit.." Toothless winked, then slowly added a second finger and started to push in. Hiccup whimpered slightly. "Hold me... Please," he stammered as he felt the dragon hold him close with one arm while his other hand was still fingering the human in his arm. Toothless held his mate in his arm, continuing to fingering him, while his wings fold around his body like a cape. "It... It feels so good," moaned Hiccup as his mind was turned into mush and he didn't even notice the third claw that was being pushed inside. Toothless growls softly and pushed a third finger in and now thrusting all three of his fingers in The human was whimpering and hugging Toothless tightly. "I... I need you in me," whimpered Hiccup, "I... I want to feel loved by you in body and soul." "Gladly..." Toothless purred then gently spreads his lovers legs, and then slowly pushes his now hard dripping cock into his mates entrance. Hiccup gasped as he felt his insides stretch even more thanks to Toothless' large cock and he kissed the dragon deeply. "I love you so much," he whimpered. "I love you too Hiccup..." Toothless moaned, kissing his human back while slowly pushing in...then thrusts. The human gasped and wrapped his arms and legs around Toothless as the dragon mated him missionary style. Toothless wraps his arms around Hiccup's waist while he growls and thrusts in. The room was filled with sexual musk and omega pheromones making everything feel charged and warm. Hiccup, despite the short time spent in the nest, had grown to accept this new found union with his savior. Toothless growls gently and continued to thrust, gently locking his hands with Hiccups, then plants his teeth very gently around Hiccup's neck, and began to very very carefully bite his mates neck. He was only gonna plant a few hickies and love bites across his mates body, to mark him as his. Hiccup was moaning from the bites and nibbles when he felt himself getting close to climax. He slowly reached down to stroke himself to keep up with Toothless' thrusts. Toothless growls and continued to thrust into his mate...then growls as he continues to plant his mate with hickies. "Breed me!" whimpered Hiccup as he stroked himself more, "I... I'm getting close! Cum inside me!" Toothless then howls as he cums hard into Hiccup. The human also cried out and whimpered as he felt something cramp up inside him while Toothless filled him up with seed. Toothless pants and grits his teeth, filling his mate up "I love you so much, Toothless," panted Hiccup snuggling into the Night Fury's arms. "I love you too so much Hiccup.." Toothless purred. They both kissed each other deeply for a while before getting dressed again and rejoining the others for supper. And...Hookfang and Snotlout once again...arguing. However, everyone else was getting along as Stormfly and Astrid were taking turns shooting targets, Astrid with a crossbow and Stormfly with her tail spikes. Fishlegs and Meatlug were playfully feeding each other and flirting, while the twins happily play fought. The twins were trying to arm wrestle the Zippleback with both arms but they lost to the dragon. "Ha! Nice try." Barf teased. "Maybe a lil effort next time?" Belch taunted. "What do you think we've been doing?" panted Ruffnut as she straightened herself up while Tuffnut was exhausted on Belch's lap. "You wanted to let me win sweetie~" Barf teased, winking. "Shut up!" scoffed Ruffnut trying to hide the blush on her cheeks while Tuffnut snored so loudly he could wake a bear from its winter hibernation. Barf just smirked while Belch petted Tuffnut sweetly. "He's really cute," whispered Belch softly holding the unconscious Tuffnut in his arms. As for Hookfang and Snotlout, things weren't that much better. Hookfang growls and then smashes a turkey leg on Snotlout’s head. "Ow! Hey! Just because I say I'm good at what I do doesn't mean you have to take it out on me!" complained Snotlout. "Well, that tough guy act sure had me fooled," scoffed Hookfang, "It's gonna be a pleasure to show you up while teaching you how to hunt." "You couldn't give me a lesson in long-distance spittin'!" snapped Snotlout angrily. "Oh please. I can shoot fireballs harder and farther than you, you hairless...brainless monkey! But...then again, a monkey would have more brains than you." Hookfang smirked. "Well, at least this monkey bothers to wear clothes instead of some frozen exhibitionist," quipped Snotlout, "And how many things did you set on fire with your body?" "I'll have ya know we wear fur coats when we go into icy territories!" Hookfang snapped. "I learn when to turn my fire off. You probably just make people turn away and gag when they look at you." Hookfang grinned. "You would know," added Snotlout, "Hence your species: Monstrous Nightmare." Hookfang growled, "Hmph. Oh please...you're just as bad." "Why you-" Snotlout was about to land a punch when Cloudjumper intervened. "Alright! That's enough!" he snarled making both males back down. Hookfang growls and huffs, deciding to eat. Snotlout does the same still glaring at Hookfang. Hiccup sighed heavily. "I hope they don't murder each other in their sleep," he whispered to Toothless. "You and me both love." Toothless groaned. The next morning, everything was surprisingly quiet as everyone made their way to the table. All except for Hookfang and Snotlout. "Uh... Should we check on them?" asked Hiccup looking up at his Night Fury mate. "We probably should.." Toothless said, gently stretching his arms and walks over to Hookfang's room. When they opened the door, Hiccup had to stifle a gasp. There in the bed was Hookfang holding Snotlout close in his arms. They were both naked as both human and dragon were holding each other. Hiccup, recovering from his astonishment, quietly leads Toothless out of the room. "What just happened?" he asked looking at his mate. "I think...they just fell in love." Toothless said, just as shocked. They went back down and told the others what they saw and everyone was surprised. "I don't understand," said Meatlug, "Last night, they were at each other's throats." "Well, apparently, they've decided to move downward," quipped Barf making Ruffnut snort a laugh. "Yeah, right down into Snotlout's ass." Tuffnut snorted while Belch just laughed. "Well, what are we supposed to say after seeing that?" asked Hiccup, "The moment we mention anything related to it, they'll probably think we were eaves dropping or something." "Nah...actually just let it be Hiccup. Besides..." Toothless smirked. "All of us can finally tease Hookfang in getting a mate." "And Snotlout?" asked Hiccup. "Oh, just leave that to us," chuckled Astrid as she and Stormfly winked at each other. "Ohhh this...is gonna be good." Toothless smirked. Before long, Hookfang came down first letting out a big yawn as he sat down. Then, a disheveled Snotlout came down limping slightly and rubbing his rear. Hiccup and Toothless smirked to each other and nodded knowingly. They acted like they weren't gonna say a word while Hookfang was wearing his loincloth, albeit a bit haphazardly, while Snotlout just wore his vest and pants. "So... Sleep well last night?" asked Hiccup trying to sound casual. “Yes… yes I did. B-But Hookfang..was probably a little too rough. I swear, that guy hogs the bed." Snotlout grumbled rubbing his rear. "Is that all he was hogging?" asked Meatlug with a smirk making Snotlout blush deep red. "N-No!" Snotlout squeaked then blushed as his voice cracked. "So... How about you Hookfang? Was your bed warm enough? Didn't need anything to... Heat things up?" asked Toothless smirking at his friend. Hookfang clears his throat, "He just… needed to cuddle up against my body… and I simply wrapped my wings around him." "Right," said Toothless grinning. "That's not what they saw," chuckled Tuffnut until Ruffnut elbowed her brother, but it was too late. The jig was up. Hookfang and Snotlout gasped and glared at Hiccup and Toothless. "You saw us?!" They asked. "Well... We were worried that you would kill each other," said Hiccup bashfully, "After how you two were arguing last night, can you blame us?" "Well...not really." Hookfang said sheepishly. "At least you two have found something in common," chuckled Barf, "Even if it means the bed." "Oh hush you two headed salamander!" Hookfang snapped. The twins and Zippleback sniggered together knowing they had the power to tease Hookfang and Snotlout whenever they found the chance. But then the two just huffed and Hookfang pulls Snotlout to his lap and rubbed his mates chest relaxingly. "I think they're all gonna like it here," whispered Hiccup to Toothless but then a thought crossed the human's mind, "Wait... Astrid, do your parents know where you are?" Astrid then realizes and blushes sheepishly, "N-No." "That's not good," said Cloudjumper, "If you kids don't show up again, they might send more warriors out here, and who knows what they might do to Hiccup." "What'll be even worse...the king will soon find out.." Fishlegs said, his eyes shrinking. "We'll have to go in different directions so they won't find the nest," said Astrid. Toothless narrows his eyes, "We must move out first thing in the morning..." "It is morning," Stormfly pointed out. Toothless then blushes sheepishly, "Alright then...we move it now." "Wait... Move the cottage?" asked Hiccup surprised, "How?" "I meant...all of us must move out of here before anyone finds us..." Toothless said. "We can always lead our parents in a different direction," said Astrid, "I know a few tricks that can help keep this place hidden." Everyone then leans in to hear Astrid's trick. Later, the humans and dragons set to work creating new trails that would loop back toward the village and covered up the trail to the cottage with fresh foliage and planted a a few trees to make it look overgrown as well as placing leafs at the roots to hide freshly dug dirt. And after they finished it...they all looked very satisfied and pleased. Toothless was finished with his area when he accidentally hit a trip wire and found himself caught in a net. "Ahh! Dammit.." Toothless grumbled. Just then, some warrior vikings appeared. "Look what we have here," said one that looked taller and stronger than the rest, "The king will definitely want to see you." "He can kiss my scaly ass!" Toothless growled, snapping his teeth. But he was soon knocked out. When Toothless awoke, he found himself tied up and muzzled to keep him from using his fire breath. The vikings dragged him before King Grendel who sat on his throne. "You look familiar," said the king looking Toothless over. Toothless huffed, "And you look like something a Bewilderbeast gave birth to." Grendel squinted his eyes. "Where is Hiccup?" he asked firmly. Toothless narrows his eyes into slits. "I'm not talking..." "You're protecting him," said Grendel smirking as he noticed Toothless' hesitation, "You care about him." “Well... yeah but I'm not telling you where he is!" Toothless snarled. "You don't have to," said Grendel smirking and looked to a viking soldier, "Show me where you found him." "In the forest," said the viking soldier, "Two miles south of the river." Toothless narrows his eyes, "You'll get yours...you hag." Grendel sneered at the dragon. "For now, I think you're getting yours first," he said as the soldiers took Toothless to the dungeons, "I think it's time for Hiccup and I to have a little talk." Back in his room, he opened up a secret passage leading to that led down beneath the castle. There, he stepped into a laboratory and he began to brew a potion that turned him into an old hermit with a hump on his back. He then pulled out an apple. He knew exactly how to lure Hiccup to his doom. "Poison apple. The sleeping death," he read grinning and he looked to the next page, "Antidote: True love's kiss." He smirked. Judging by how Toothless was reacting, he figured that the dragon was in love with Hiccup. Meanwhile, Toothless was locked up in a cell with Gobber, who had his peg leg taken away along with his arm implants. He sat on the ground with his head hung low looking at his one hand and leg. Toothless growled as he was pushed into his cell and then fell to his knees, knowing Hiccup was in danger. "You might as well forget it, lad," said Gobber glumly, "The king had these cells designed to hold in both dragons and humans alike." Toothless sighed, "No...I can't. I need to save Hiccup.." "Forget it," said Gobber, "The king's already won. I tried to hide Hiccup's escape, but he always finds out the truth. You might as well give up the fight." Toothless just looked Gobber in shock but then...he just fell to his knees, "I'm sorry Hiccup.." he began sobbing. The next day, Hiccup was feeling worried. "Toothless hasn't shown up yet all night," he said to Cloudjumper, "I'm worried." "Yeah, and our parents must be worried about us," added Astrid, "Look, I'm sorry, but we really need to head back to let them know we're alright.” "Don't worry Hiccup...we'll be right back. You stay here. And the Terrors will be looking after you." "Just be careful," he said giving Astrid a hug, "And thank you for siding with us." "You're welcome. And we will." Astrid promised. Stormfly came up and snuggled up to Astrid. "Gonna miss you, sweetheart," she said softly. "I'll miss you too love." Astrid said softly. Hookfang and Snotlout, on the other hand, were reluctant to separate. "Do you have to go?" whimpered Hookfang sniffling as he held Snotlout close. "Believe me babe… I don't wanna leave you either… but I have to,” Snotlout said feeling just as reluctant. They both shared a deep, brief kiss before they realized they were being watched. "Come on, everyone," said Cloudjumper, "We'll fly them over head and then drop them off outside the village." With that, they all took off with Cloudjumper leading the way. Ten minutes later, Hiccup was busy washing breakfast dishes when there was a knock on the door. When he opened it, there was an old man with a hump on his back and leaning on a staff. "I'm sorry, my boy," he said in a creaky voice, "Did I frighten you?" "Yes! I mean… I-I was expecting my friends to come by here… but not someone like you." Hiccup said nervously. "Don't worry. I came to help you. Are you Hiccup? Son of Stoick?" asked the old man, "I have come with a message. From Toothless. I'm afraid he's been captured by the king. Before his capture, he asked me to tell you how much he loved you." Hiccup was horrified at hearing Toothless was captured. "You love him too... Don't you?" asked the old man as he saw the look on Hiccup's face, "Well, because love is so precious, I will help you." He then reached into his coat and pulled out an apple. "Here. Take this apple to sustain you on the road to rescuing him," he told Hiccup, "I remember how generous your father, Stoick, was to his people. That's why it is an honor for me to return the favor to his son. I know I don't have much to give, but giving you this apple makes me feel as though his spirit is here." He could see his words were getting to Hiccup as the boy slowly reached forward and took the apple in his hand. But… then the Terrors started hissing and growling angrily "Guys, quit it," said Hiccup, "He's just an old man." He looked back to the old hermit. "You must have been tired from the journey," he said and sat him down on a bench before accepting the apple. The Terrors, realizing they couldn't sway Hiccup, quickly flew off to find the dragons and the teens. "For him," said the hermit, "For your father, Stoick." Hiccup smiled as he lifted up the apple and took a bite. The old man grinned evilly as he saw Hiccup starting to stagger. Hiccup nervously staggered but...he soon bit into the apple but then...his eyes soon open wide and rolled up into his head. And he fainted...his hand being visible as the apple rolled off. "Actually, I did know your father quite well," chuckled the old man stepping closer to Hiccup's body, "I knew he was a fool. It was almost too easy for me to have him killed. His goodness cost him his throne, as it will cost you your life. So... Tell me, Hiccup... Who is the fairest one of all?" With that, he stepped outside and disappeared in a bolt of lightning and reappeared back in the castle. Back with the dragons, they were almost near the village with the young vikings when the Terrors swooped in and surrounded them blocking their way. "Hey! What in the world?!" Hookfang snapped. But the Terrors kept on swarming and shrieking in their faces. "What's wrong with them?" asked Astrid looking to Stormfly. "I don't know," replied the Nadder, "But they're not acting this way for nothing." Fishlegs thought for a moment. "Maybe we should ask Hiccup," he suggested when they all paused and gasped, “HICCUP!" "C'mon!" Astrid snapped and they all ran back. They all arrived back at the cottage, but when they entered, all they saw was Hiccup laying lifeless on the ground. "Wait... This wasn't here when we left," said Meatlug picking up a half eaten apple. "He's been poisoned," whimpered Fishlegs removing his helmet, "The King must have found this place and given it to him.” "No..." Astrid said in horror as she sees Hiccup lying on the floor… eyes closed… body limp… and just unconscious. Cloudjumper hung his head low sadly as well as the other dragons. Hookfang held Snotlout close as the viking cried into the dragon's chest. Everyone just looked in horror, not sure what to do. Back at the castle, Grendel was standing in front of his mirror once again as it said: "Your envious heart can be at rest. You, my king, are fairest of all." Then he walked out onto the balcony as a soldier called out to the people, "All hail the king, fairest of them all." And the people all bowed in submission. Back at the dungeon… Toothless was sobbing in despair. Gobber sighed and lay his head back against the wall. "Well, looks like the king finally got what he wanted," he sighed, "And who's gonna help us now?" "I-I dunno..." Toothless said softly. Suddenly, tiny feet could be heard pattering towards them and in came a small group of Terrible Terrors peeking in. "Huh? How did they get in here?" asked Gobber pointing towards them. Toothless gasped at seeing the Terrors, "Guys! In here!" They warbled and some crawled in pouncing on him begging him to follow until another one came in holding a key in its mouth. Toothless smiled happily as he sees the key There was a loud clang when one of the terrors was trying to bring in one of Gobber's implants. "Shhh!" hushed the viking, "Not so loud. Someone will hear that." The Terrors gave Gobber back his implants and went quiet. At last, they managed to open the cell and unlock their chains. "Think you can let me tag along?" asked Gobber. "Yes, I need to get to Hiccup before it's too late." Toothless said. "I know how we can sneak out of here," said the viking leading the way out of the castle and into the forest. Toothless smiled, and hurried out of the castle with Gobber. They ran as far away from the castle as possible and one stopped to give Gobber some time to catch his breath. "I... I'm not as fast... As I used to be," he panted, "If I didn't have this peg leg and had my real leg, I would've been a lot faster... Of course, I'd still trip over my own feet." “Yes… I just hope Hiccups okay..." Toothless said nervously. "Well, it's getting dark, so rest up for now, okay?" said Gobber, "No sense on trying to find our way in the dark." “Yes... the forest is dangerous after the sun sets.." "So, might as well make the most of it," yawned Gobber as he leaned back against a tree and fell asleep. Back at the Dragon's Nest, everyone had been mourning for Hiccup. They cared about him so much that they didn't have the heart to bury him. So, they found an open clearing with a big stone to place Hiccup's body on. Hookfang, who carried Hiccup, gingerly placed the boys body on the rock. As the sun rose up in the distance, a beam of light gently shone down upon Hiccup's body. The viking teens removed their helmets bowing their heads. The other dragons also bowed their heads while Astrid placed some flowers in Hiccup's hands. It wasn't long till there was a rustle of bushes and in came Gobber and Toothless. "Guys! Where's-?" Toothless began but.. was heartbroken at seeing his mate...lying on the rock...dead. "N-N-No! Hiccup!" Toothless said, kneeling to his mate and held him close. "I'm sorry, son," said Cloudjumper sadly, "We just didn't have the heart to bury him." Gobber gasped he too was in tears as he removed his helmet. Toothless sobbed as he held his mate Everyone remained silent feeling sorry for Toothless as the night fury held his mate close and gently caressing Hiccup. Toothless then gently laid his face close to Hiccups… and kisses him. As soon as Toothless knelt down before him, he heard a gasp of air from Hiccup. "Wha-What happened?" groaned Hiccup as he sat up and gasped, "Toothless! You're here!" "H-Hiccup! You're alive!" Toothless held his mate in his arms They both kissed each other deeply as everyone cheered. But Hiccup then grew sad. "He killed him. Grendel killed my father, Stoick," he said feeling heartbroken, "We have to take the kingdom back." "Yes...we have too Hiccup." Toothless said. "We're gonna have to unite both people and dragons to face him," said Hiccup, "But it won't be easy. He'll do everything within his power to stop us." Toothless, and the others nod, "Right..." "The only question is how do we find the other dragons?" asked Hiccup as one of the Terrors hopped up and sat next to the boy. "Leave it to us," it said making everyone freeze. "You can talk?" gasped Hiccup. "Yeah," said another one, "We never spoke because we were afraid of being found out." "But we're not afraid anymore thanks to you," said the first one. "Well...guys, please, we need to rally all the dragons we can.." Hiccup said. "When Stoick was king, we used to be the royal messengers of the kingdom," said the first Terror, "Name's Zephyr. We know where the other dragons are located. You can count on me and my clan to spread your message to them.” "Please...we need all the help we can get." "We head out tomorrow," said Cloudjumper, "For now, I'd say you and Toothless have a lot of catching up to do." Hiccup blushed and looked to Toothless who picked up the human in his arms. Toothless smiled and held his mate in his arms. Once they were in their room, Hiccup and Toothless were kissing each other deeply and stripping the human out of his clothes while making their way to the bed. Hiccup untied Toothless' loincloth and took it off "I missed you so much," moaned Hiccup as he lay under Toothless. "I missed you too Hiccup.." Toothless smiled and then kisses his mate deeply. "Please... let me show you how much I missed you," he said as he lay Toothless on his back and began kissing and licking along the dragon's body. At last, he reached the emerging dragon cock and began sucking the tip before taking the rest of the shaft. Toothless gasps in pure pleasure and groans gently, arching his back from his mate taking his cock into his mouth Hiccup kept on sucking long and good on Toothless' cock. He moaned when he felt his dragon mate reach over the human to finger his ass. Toothless then pushes his fingers into Hiccup's ass and slowly pushes his fingers into him The human moaned beneath Toothless while his own cock was throbbing beneath him. He wanted to make sure the dragon's cock was slick and ready for entry because he needed a good breeding worse than anything. Toothless moaned loudly and arches up, giving his mate a few thrusts to his face Hiccup then pulled his face up gasping for air before Toothless slid his tongue in for a full, deep kiss. Toothless held his mate and kisses him nice and deep "Put it in me," whimpered Hiccup, "Please! I need you to take me like a real dragon." Toothless grinned ferally and then pushes his cock into his mates rump and starts thrusting good and hard. "Yeah!" whimpered Hiccup, "Go rough on me!" Toothless purred and went as rough as he can Hiccup clung to Toothless feeling the dragon hammer away at his prostate. "I'm gonna cum!" whimpered Hiccup, "Please... Let me cum!" "Cum for me my love..." Hiccup whimpered and cried out as his seed shot out between them. Then he felt Toothless hump faster and then gently bit the human's shoulder. Toothless growls as he humps his mate harder and faster while giving his mate a good mating bite At last, Hiccup could feel it. The rush of dragon cum filling up his insides. The familiar pulse from Toothless' cock inside his anal ring. He kissed the dragon's cheek while Toothless gently licked the bite mark on Hiccup's shoulder. Toothless panted and then just kept on gently licking his mates shoulder "Toothless? When we take the throne back... Will you... Will you stay by my side always? Not just as my alpha, but as my lover and mate?" asked Hiccup softly. "Gladly...my love." Toothless held Hiccups hands in his paws. The next day, everything was set and Hiccup stood at the entrance of the village making everyone stop to look at the young viking prince. Everyone had gone quiet. A little too quiet...as Hiccup nervously stared at everyone But then one viking came up smiling. "Are you here to lead us?" he asked his tone soft, curious. "Yes...yes I am." Hiccup promised. Then a young teen smiled as he came up. "Your father was the best leader we ever had," he said, "As you are his heir, we'll follow you." Then all the villagers came up to join Hiccup as they made their way to the palace. Hiccup smiled widely and happily. Then glares determinedly as he walks up to the palace. They all walked together until they reached the palace gates where some soldiers lowered aimed their spears at Hiccup. "I believe you've been looking for me," he said to them. But then, they parted as the king, with a smug grin, approached. "As a matter of fact, I believe it is you who's looking for me," replied Grendel and told his soldiers to stand aside. "Face it Grendel… your attempt to kill me failed… and I'm not gonna let my kingdom, fall to you." But Grendel just scoffed at Hiccup and turned to the crowd. "Handsome, isn't he?" he asked as he produced a flower from his hand, "Delicate, elegant, exquisite." But then he waved a hand over the flower turning it into ash. "You think you want a flower, but a flower wilts," he told the people, "A flower cannot keep you safe or raise an army or lead a kingdom. A flower cannot give you what I can give you." Then he magically produced a diamond that was shaped into a dagger. "Perfection, power, beauty," he said as he walked over to Hiccup and placed the dagger in the young man's hands. "If you want the throne, take it," he sneered leaving the dagger in Hiccup's grasp. Hiccup looked at the dagger...not sure what to do Grendel could see his stepson was faltering. "They're waiting," he mumbled to Hiccup. Hiccup then...stabs Grendel on his chest. But Grendel smirked. "Pathetic," he said grinning as Hiccup realized the knife had dematerialized from his hands and back into Grendel's hands. "Enough of this charade. Guards, hold him," said Grendel as two viking soldiers walked up and grabbed Hiccup. "You," said Grendel handing the dagger to a soldier, "Let the people watch him die." The people were clamoring hand begging them not to kill the boy. The soldier was drawing near when Hiccup looked up at him and the soldier stopped. "Beowulf," he said, "You were a sailor and fisherman. You have a wife and son. Every time you come home from the sea, you bring enough fish to feed the village and stories to tell the children... So that they would have the courage to explore the world when they got older." Hiccup turned to another soldier while Grendel furrowed his brows. "Morlock... You were a messenger... Like your father. You were always there to help him whenever you could growing up and you took over for him." "Enough," growled Grendel but Hiccup carried on. "You were all good men once," he went on, "I remember you. All of you." "I said ENOUGH!" shouted Grendel. "There was a time when man and dragon used to co exist side by side... Even fall in love. When people were allowed to love freely and unconditionally," said Hiccup as he turned to Beowulf, "I remember. Do you?” “Y-Yes... your highness." Beowulf said, bowing to Hiccup. Then all the soldiers began tossing their weapons to the ground standing down. Hiccup turned to Grendel. "Leave. Now," he said, "And never come back." Grendel snarled as he snatched up the dagger from Beowulf and lunged at Hiccup but then a fire ball shot the dagger out of his hand making the diamond blade shatter. Grendel looked up to see Gobber, Toothless and Zephyr were above the gates. "I am the Terrible Terror Zephyr, master of the fire ball!" declared the tiny dragon. The crowd cheered when Grendel heard a whistle. There was Astrid standing with her gang along with their dragon mates. "No... NO!" growled Grendel as he retreated back inside the palace and hurried to his mirror. "Come on!" called Hiccup to Toothless. Grendel had made it to his room and he was furious. "It isn't true!" he roared in anger and looked to the magic mirror, "I am still the fairest." The hollow face in the mirror appeared to the king and said, "Famed is thy beauty, but it goes no further than the skin. For Hiccup, beauty comes from deep within. And so, my king, at last you see He will always be more fair than thee." Grendel looked back behind him to see Hiccup and the Night Fury standing by his side. "YOU LIE!" roared Grendel angrily as he picked up his scepter and smashed into the mirror shattering it into pieces. But instead of falling to the floor, the shards floated in mid air. Grendel looked at himself as he felt himself age and decay before them all. He looked at Hiccup one last time angrily reaching for him before turning into dust and being absorbed into the mirror. The moment Grendel was gone, the glass shards retreated back to the mirror frame repairing itself. Hiccup narrows his eyes and watches Grendel slowly fade away as the mirror repaired itself Toothless smiled as he held his mate close. "It's done," he said softly, "Now, you can lead your people into a new age." "Yes, and...with you, my love." Hiccup held Toothless' paw. Three days later, Hiccup and Toothless were married with the blessings of the people. As they stood hand in hand, Hiccup looked up at his mate smiling. Through all the struggles against Grendel, it was like they were waiting for each other all along. Toothless looked at his mate happily grinning and then cups his mates cheeks and kisses him sweetly. "All hail the Alpha dragon and King Hiccup!" called a villager and they all started to cheer for them. Both males happily held their joined hands together Later, everyone was singing and dancing in the village square. Both humans and dragons were prancing and jumping all around with the music. Hiccup and Toothless smile as they watched over their new kingdom, and their friends and their mates happily all cuddled and dancing around They both knew that somewhere above, Stoick was proud of how far Hiccup had come to fight for both the village and finding his one true love. At last, Hiccup was home. The End.
