Riders Tale of Titans

V

I was walking through the New Berk forest, waiting for the Night Light to find me. After every step I took I looked up into the sky, awaiting its shadow to pass over me. I wondered what I'd name it, I'd have to get to know it first of course. It's not just a pet, according to what Hiccup and Astrid said, it would be like my best friend (wait, isn't man's best friend a pet).

Suddenly I heard the echo of a waterfall, and I saw a cliffside ahead of me. I could hear growls coming from over the edge so I hurried forward. I peeked over the edge and saw several dragons down below. Two that were nearly the same size, one black with white feet and a white underbelly. The two bumps between its ears were also white as well as the row of spines going down its back. Its eyes were green.

Getting ready to pounce on the other was another Fury baby that was almost complete white with black spines running down its back with a black tail, this was also a male. It was much bulkier than the one I'd seen. Both of them were.

The largest of the four Furies was completely black, and clearly male. It had green eyes, and sat next to a female that was completely white, with blue eyes.

Toothless, I said to myself, the King of Dragons.

I leaned forward to get a closer look, fascinated with the family of dragons. I felt my hand slip, and as I caught myself, a single pebble fell from the cliff. It fell down into the water, and made a decent sploosh. Toothless looked up at me, and his pupils narrowed to slits. He roared, and the two younglings hid behind their mother, who was also on high alert.

The black dragon lifted off into the sky, and landed in front of me. Smoke curled from its nostrils as it walked towards me. It let loose a growl, and I tripped over backwards on a rock behind me. The dragon pounced, and was on top of me. Its mouth opened and I watched as the fire began to warm up inside of him from a green gas.

Suddenly a force slammed into the dragon, and sent the Night Fury rolling to the side. Toothless recovered quickly though, and let loose a growl, but his expression suddenly changed when he realized who had saved me.

It was the female Night Light Fury. She was standing over me, a snarl planted on her face. She roared at her father, but didn't leave me. She was protecting me! I stood up, and began to step away, facing the dragons. The Night Light turned around, and started following me, its pupils once again widening greatly.

"Hi again," I whispered. "You...saved me." I stopped dead in my tracks, and held out me hand. Showing the dragon my palm. Without hesitation, the dragon placed her snout into my hand, and closed her eyes. Then her eyes opened, and she leaned away.

"Dawn," I whispered, and the dragon looked into my eyes. "Dawn...that is your name."

The dragon put her head under me, and I slid onto her back. She made a sound at Toothless, and he roared for the rest of the family to follow them. And me on the back of my new friend, lead the Furies to the village of New Berk.

A cheer arose from the village as we landed in its heart, right next to the statue of my grandfather, Stoick the Vast. Hiccup and Astrid ran forward, at first Toothless was cautious of his old Rider. But after smelling Hiccup's scent for the first time in years he jumped atop him, and began licking Hiccup's face.

Valka greeted the Light Fury by stroking her chin, and the dragon nudged her in the side. The young male Night Lights began playing around with the children after a few minutes of Toothless and the Light Fury encouraging them.

Hiccup saw Dawn standing next to me, and he stepped forward, but when he got to close she wrapped her tail around me, and growled.

"No. No. No. It's okay girl, I'm not gonna hurt her," he said, and looked at me. He smiled,
