Y/N POV
That was 19 years ago, today. My birthday. My 25th birthday. To celebrate, I decided to go out for a fly with my dragon d/n and some other dragons from the fort. I fast figured out that the cave was a part of a big dragon nest. The queen tries to eat me, but my dragon protects me from her. The queen still doesn't like that I am staying in the nest, but I've earned some respect by the dragons living in the cave. They keep me alive and I've taught myself how too survive. I've learned how I cook food and how to keep warm with d/n's help. I've even made my own clothes by old dragon scales.-C'mon d/n! Let's fly! I smile and pet their neck. They gurgle happily and shake its head. I giggle as d/n takes stance, the other dragons following. I lay myself flat onto their back and smirk to myself. I put down my mask and d/n flies off. I shout out in glee as they fly as fast as they possibly can. We fly though thick fog before reaching clear skies. I fly d/n around the island, and the other dragons follow us. But suddenly I hear loud voices from below. I look down and see a ship... with people on it... and they're shooting nets... Dragon trappers! I maneuver around the nets, but the other dragons don't. So they get pulled down to the ship. And before I can react, so do d/n and I. I scream as we hit the hard surface. When I hear the mean, wicked laughs, I press my body closer to d/n, so they wouldn't see me.
-Throw this one in the big one! I hear a big man say. They drag d/n around, and they struggle against their grips. Then I hear a big metal door close and they walk up and onto the deck again. I let out a deep breath and crawl off of d/n's back.
-We're gonna be alright... we're gonna be alright, I tell them and let their neck.4 days later:
I've been starving since two days ago. I haven't got any food and I'm still hidden from the trappers. Then suddenly I hear screams and grunts and thuds up on the deck.
-Check down there, see if there's any dragons there! I hear a voice and loud steps.
I breathe quickly. 'Please don't hear me, please don't hear me' I think... but just to my luck; my stomach grumbles loudly.
-Hello? A mans voice asks.
I pull down my mask and sit up.
-H-hi, I say and look down.
-Oh my... let me get you out of there, he says and opens the door. I recognized his voice... it's very familiar.
-Thank you, I say and nod to him as I guide d/n up the stairs. There stands a bunch of... not kids but... people younger than me. The man from before walks after me up the stairs.
-Thank you... for saving me... I say and spot the other dragons.
-I shall get going, I say and sit on d/n's back.
-No! The man who saved me says and puts a hand on my shoulder. I flinch and look at him.
-You're very starved... please just let us get you eaten up before you leave, he asks.
-What about my dragons? I ask. Most Vikings were against my style of living... I learned that the hard way.
-We life with dragons... I guess you do too? Another boy asks. He has a black suit with a helmet. I nod as my dragons stand beside me.
When I look at the people around me, I notice that they all wear face covering helmets.
-Hiccup, we better leave before sunset! A big man says to the smaller one. He nods and mounts a... a... a night fury.
-Do you want to join us? He asks as the other ones mount their dragons. I hesitate, but nod. The man nods before patting his dragon and flying off. My dragon follows suit, as does the other dragon riders and dragons.The ride wasn't long, but during it... I didn't feel threatened... or excluded. It was quiet most of the time. Their leader and chief, Hiccup, told me about Berk, and how it was a sanctuary for dragons and humans alike. I was excited, to say the least. To spend time with other people like me. But I know I can't stay. I am just here for a couple of weeks to eat up and then leave.
A couple of weeks later:
I have eaten quite a lot these past few weeks.
I've met everyone in this island, even the ones that saved me. Well, except for the man that unlocked and opened the iron door. I hadn't properly met him at all. But the dragon riders of Berk stand before me, even the man that saved me. But he had his mask and suit on.
-I guess this is it. Thank you, again, chief Hiccup for your hospitality, I say and nod gratefully to him. He smiles and nods back.
-It's was nothing. I'm just happy that you're healthy again, he says. I nod and look at the man. He stares intensely at me. Maybe because just as him, I hadn't removed my mask around anyone in this island, except for my dragon.
I sigh and smile, before turning to the sun, ready to fly off.-Wait! The man with the mask says. I turn back around, my dragon following me. I tilt my head sideways as he walks closer to me.
-Please, before you leave... May I just... ask for your name? He asks. I look at him. I know those eyes... I recognize them from somewhere in my mind... I just can't put my finger on when.
-Only if I can know yours first, I say. The man sighs and nods. He pulls off his helmet, and I immediately recognize his face.
-My name is Eret, son of Eret, he says and and bows slightly. Eret...? But it couldn't be...
His eyes were the same... but his chin was adorned with a dragon trapper tattoo and his hair had grown immensely since we were little.
I just look at him...
-And yours? He asks. I grab my mask and pull it off of my face. His pupils dilate, much like a dragons during mating season and he stares at me.
-......Y/N...? He asks in disbelief. I smile and nod.
-It's been a minute since.... I say, not wanting to bring it up. He nods slowly and walks towards me.
-It has... he confirms.
-I... I thought... I thought you were killed by... he says and look down at d/n.
-I wasn't... I say and smile as tears fall from my eyes. He laughs in disbelief and we walk towards each other and he picks me up and gives me a big ol' bear hug. I giggle and sniffle as I pull him closer to me.
-I thought I'd never see you again, I cry into his shoulder.
-I'm here now... I'm here, he says and pulls his fingers though my hair in comfort.
-Do you two know each other? Ruffnut then asks and we part.Eret quickly tells them about what happened, when I got carried away by a dragon on my 6th birthday and how we came to know each other before then.
-Oh no, that sounds absolutely horrible! Astrid says.
-It was... I say.
-That was the reason I became a dragon trapper, Eret says and I look up at him in shock.
-Really? I ask and he looks down on me.
-You began dragon hunting... for my sake? I ask and feel myself blush.
-Yeah. I thought that maybe if I killed all dragons... that they wouldn't be able to steal more people from me, he sighs.
-Oh Eret... I say and hug him. I feel him begin to shake and I pull away. He cries into my shoulder.
-Eret...? I ask and take his face in my hands.
-I'm sorry, he says and tries to dry the incoming tears, but failing. I look concerned at him and dry away the tears on his cheek with my thumb.
-I just... I lost you, and then I found you without knowing it... and now you're leaving, Eret says.
-It all just happened so fast, he then sobs.
-Eret, I can't possibly stay... I say sadly.
-Of course you can! Hiccup interrupts.
-We have new houses being built by the minute, and there's a job at the dragon nursery if you want it. Seems you've lived with dragons long enough to know what you're doing, Hiccup says and Eret looks pleasingly up at me.
-Please... stay, he says and puts a hand over mine on his cheek.
-... Eret, I- for me? He cuts me off. I sigh and look around. This was a dream come true. I just found my best friend again. I found an island with both dragons and humans living in peace. And most importantly, I won't get harassed by the queen of the nest anymore if I stay.
-Alright... I'll stay... I say and Eret smiles.
-For you, I add. He quickly pulls me in for a hug again. I hug back, just as tightly. Just like the good old days... I've missed him more than I've ever realized.
