Chapter 7: The Adventure Begins
-Toothless-
"It was only a dream Toothless" Hiccup purred, the words flowing from her mouth smooth and soft soothing Toothless's nerves. "I.. Don't.. Understand... It was so real. You where there, the strange people, the blood." Toothless quivered at the memory of his dream. His doubts still hung on the tip of his tongue but one fact remained. None of what he saw was here now. He was back by the lake under the same tree from the night before. "I have had dreams that seemed real, don't worry it's ok now." Toothless was curled around Hiccup, wing over her keeping her warm from the cool and harsh wind that steadily gushed from the mountains far in the distance. A long trip awaited them and Barvarta was again pushing himself on the quest. That same night Hiccup had awoken knowing the direction they should fly. The information was lacking but Toothless was sure Hiccup was not spinning a lie. Hiccup had described Barvarta perfectly to the very scale. The directions where simple, head South East to the mainland. From there a Temple of stone pointes the way through the forest of mist. To Toothless this all sounded too good to be true, but if Barvarta the now known Dragon God had said to go. He would follow. Toothless personally feared the fact that Dragons had a god. The power Barvarta held seemed to baffle Toothless causing his mind to wonder.
"It's almost daybreak Hiccup, we should go" Toothless lifted his wing letting the beams of the morning sun shine on his beloved Hiccup. She in turn pushed her head deeper into Toothless's chest to hide. Toothless chuckled at Hiccups position. "We won't get anywhere if you do this every night" "I don't want to get up" Hiccups tone was a half moan slash plea and amused Toothless, his emotions fluttered with a deep joy. "Females are often lazy, you are fitting the role nicely" Hiccup looked up at Toothless squinting from the sun. "Lazy?" "Yes, very lazy. Most won't even walk let alone fly." "Do you like that?" "Not particularly, I like a good love but the mate I want must be strong and a good fighter. As any dragon should be" Toothless waited for her response, he was playing her and she was falling in the trap nicely. Hiccup replied strongly jabbing her front paw into Toothless's lower belly. He gasped surprised at the physical violence. "Don't make me sound weak reptile, I'm still me you know" Hiccup stood and walked to the lake.
I worry about that Hiccup, you're not the same, you changing every day. Your emotions are changing you, It does make me feel happy. But It's not the same. One thing is for sure, I will not let the true Hiccup get lost in this new Hiccup.
The days that followed where long and hard, both Toothless and Hiccup would fall on small Islets deep in the night and faint from exhaustion. Oversea flying was hard work and both of their wings where crying out for rest. They were determined to reach the end of their voyage and for once they both agreed that a boat would be the best way to travel on the open sea. Late one day a large storm filled the air causing both of the dragons to rise above the clouds removing themselves from the licks of lightning and cold stings of the rain. What they saw was surprising to both of them, the stars they had once known where changed, new constellations filled the sky and old ones where moved or gone all together. They had never been able to see the stars when they landed for rest, they were just too tired to do so. Many times along the flight Hiccup argued with Toothless about the direction they were going. She would state that the mainland should be in sight, but Toothless would reply saying that he had a good internal compass and a sense of direction.
Around the eighth day of their journey the small rests stopped, there were no more spots of land to sleep and they had to keep moving. This was tasking and many times they would land in the water and float to cool there aching muscles. Soon later the large body of land came to view, it was very distant but they now knew that they were within a day's flight. Whether it was the land they were looking for or not they both just wanted to stop and die on the sandy shores. They landed both collapsing on the other exhausted and panting in pain. They had flown over nine days with small amounts of rest. Their eyes fell to a close, their muscles moaning with joy as they both relaxed and fell into a deep sleep. Whatever happened while they slept they did not care, as long as they woke the next day they were happy.

Hey everyone glad to see so many reviews! Yes I know the cliffhanger was all for nothing and you can yell at me for that. Sadly I realized that I was bringing the plot in WAY to early. So I redirected the story into its correct location. Now I do have to add that the next chapter will have content. I know many of you asked for such and well I just think I should thank my readers with my wild imagination. Yes Toothless x Hiccup. I want to see the comments of joy now.. Really I do.. If you really love this story be my quest and send me a message, I would love to hear what you think of it and what I should remove or change! Again thank you for reading and keep looking for the next addition!
