Chapter 4: Barvarta's Gift & A Story So Long

-Toothless-

Toothless stretched his large black paws as far as he could; taking a big yawn he curled his tongue. Smacking his lips, Toothless snuggled his large bulky head into his right arm, curling his black tail in to keep warm. He rumbled the fire he had deep within his chest, warming every limb and scale.

Not a big fan of the cold weather, but, it's worth every second.

Toothless was starting to lose conciseness, dipping in and out of reality, when a screech broke the quiet morning air. Toothless's eyes jolted open and his ears ripped forward, everything was blurry but he blinked rapidly to clear the haze. He stumbled with his feet and almost tripped, what seemed like minuets to stand correctly took only seconds. Toothless extended his teeth to their full extent, preparing to fight and protect his human Hiccup.

What Toothless saw after his vision had cleared not only startled him, but sparked an emotion deep within his chest. His heart began to beat rapidly and his stomach began to knot. What he saw caused him to take a step back. Noticing that he was backing down, Toothless pushed the emotions aside and took a step forward.

It was a dragon of all things, but that was not what startled Toothless. The dragon was unlike anything he had ever seen, it was almost like; seeing himself.

The dragon was on its back flapping his paws in the air and snapping his tail in every direction. Toothless chuckled to himself, thinking of the first time he had tried to stand.

He was a new born, his mother had left to find food, at one point Toothless had begun to think that his mother would never return. Deep within Toothless had made the conclusion that his mother would never return. He knew that without his mother, he would not be able to move, he also knew how his mother was able to move without help. With great effort, Toothless attempted to duplicate his mothers moving style. Using all four of his legs Toothless tried to push himself up to a standing position but it only led to shaking limbs and falling on his face. Toothless was frantic now, his deepest fears shifted through his mind, the thought of starvation, thirst, and even death. Toothless fumbled with his legs, franticly trying to move but only achieving nothing.

"Who are you?" Toothless yelled inquisitively

"What do you mean who am I!" The strange white night furry yelled back. It had finally stood, but not on all fours, it was on its two back legs. This puzzled Toothless and caused him to question, but with hiccup not in sight, he pushed the questions behind and sniffed the air. The scent aroused him, Toothless had never smelled anything like what this dragon had. It was odd, in a way it reminded him of a fresh rain fall, or a new coat of snow on the land. The emotions in Toothless's body fluttered with anxiousness.

"This is the last time I ask! Who are you?" Toothless growled angrily "What did you do with my Hiccup!"

"What! You know who I... Wait, what do you mean 'where is Hiccup'? I... by the gods! What is that smell!"

"What smell?" Toothless tilted his head in question. Sniffing the air Toothless only caught the scent of the strange white night fury.

The night furry shook, and froze. "How can I understand you?" it said

Toothless giggled, it was obvious that this dragon was not all there mentally.

"You're a dragon. I am a dragon, we can talk to each other" Toothless said sarcastically, this was a big joke to Toothless, the dragon was not a threat.

"I'm... I'm.. A What?" It stumbled

"A dragon... N!" Toothless said annoyingly.

Toothless ears shot back and he growled at the high pitched tone that the strange dragon was letting off. It was on the floor, paws over its face, screaming with what Toothless presumed as fear.

"HEY! SHUTUP!" Toothless yelled bating at the dragons snout.

The dragon yelped and the screaming toned down to a wine.

"Really what's your problem, you act like this is so new"

"It is new" The dragon screamed back. "All I remember is sleeping with you and Astrid, and when I wake up I find this! You yelling at me, Astrid gone, and a very odd feeling in my belly" The dragon crooned.

"Are you saying... Your Hiccup?" Toothless said wide eyed

Was that really a dream? Did Barvarta really change Hiccup like I asked? Was he really real!

"Yes! I am! I don't know how I'm going to prove it to you but I-" Hiccup was cut off when he doubled over and wined in pain. Toothless jumped to his side and nudged him.

"Hey! What's wrong?"

"M-m-my b-b-belly.." Hiccup sounded like the words where painful to pronounce. Almost like he had swallowed nails and was trying to bring them back into the open air.

Toothless pushed at Hiccups side, trying to flip him over.

"What are you doing?" Hiccup said, this time it sounded smoother, but Toothless could tell it still hurt.

"I'm seeing what's wrong, I have been a dragon longer than you have. Now turn over and stop fighting"

Reluctantly, and with a large amount of pushing and nudging, Hiccup turned over and laid on his back, belly up. He Covered himself with his wings and tail, preserving his modesty

"I can't help you if you're going to fight like that!"

With a huff Hiccup gave up his human modesty and laid his wings flat to the floor along with his tail. Toothless walked over and pawed at his belly, softly. Gingerly he moved lower and huffed to himself.

"What?"

"Nothing" Toothless said

"No tell me!" Hiccup urged

With a sigh Toothless said "Well... Your different... Different than I am, your whole.. body structure is smaller than mine, it could be because you are young, and your belly has some sort of-" Toothless stopped mid sentence. Hiccup gazed at Toothless expecting the rest of the answer, but only saw an odd change. Toothless's dark cheeks started turning a light tint of red, he pulled his paw away from Hiccups belly and stuttered. Looking down at his feet Toothless finished "Your very different Hiccup... I never thought it was possible... But you're a female"

"A what..." Hiccups said wide eyed

"A female, your belly holds different organs in different places. That and the obvious sight between your legs"

Hiccup blushed and pulled his tail between his legs.

-Hiccup-

The feeling was odd, and slightly enjoyable. His belly seemed to have small butterflies tickling his insides. He blushed deeply, the meaning of what Toothless had said taking its effect.

A female? I... How... there is no way! And why? It's strange this feeling, and the worst part about this whole thing... I'm not as freaked as I normally would be... It's odd but I'm ok with it. I'm scared ya, but... I'm not screaming and running in circles like I normally would about now. But I would not be myself if I changed my attitude about something like this in a split second.

"Hiccup, I know you could be very scared... I guess I would be in your position... But it's not that bad Hiccup"

"TOOTHLESS! I'm a female DRAGON! It's very bad!"

"Well" Toothless stumbled over his words nervous for what Hiccup would say.

"You look very.. Good.. For a Dragon.. very attractive.. Not that I would you know, want to get closer or anything, but I'm just saying you know."

This is so amusing, I can't help but laugh.

"Just saying?" Hiccup said accusingly, laughing within.

"Hiccup... I have a rather long story to tell you... and it has to do with you as a dragon" Toothless said. Deep within Hiccup could tell that this would be a long story, and that he now a she, would not be convinced all at once. Toothless assured Hiccup that it would take some time, but he would explain in as much detail until his human that was now a dragon, was satisfied.

Toothless told Hiccup of a place, deep within the inland where they could talk without being interrupted. Hiccup agreed, and with time they were able to attach Toothless's second tail that would allow him to fly without any help. Taking an hour out of there day to accomplish the simple task of attaching a fin, they were finally able to send Toothless into the air, but Hiccup still had the lack of flight training.

Toothless took the time to show Hiccup the control of his wings, explaining that when wings are extended, the soft stretchy skin is able to catch the still wind and launch them upwards if tilted in the correct direction. Toothless showed Hiccup the angles, tilting his wings forward he explained that this would drive him to the floor. Tilting his wings back slightly he told Hiccup that this would cause him to rise, but not as fast as going down. Toothless explained that by beating his wings, he is able to rise in the air.

After Toothless had felt like Hiccup was starting to understand, they tried a test flight. It took time and Hiccup crashed into trees, bushes, and mostly everything else except for the clouds in the sky. Hiccup took most of the day to achieve flight and by the time they were able to launch in the air with ease, the moon was starting to rise. Hiccup tried to convince Toothless that they should just stay in the village and head out later the next morning, but Toothless reminded Hiccup of him being different, and asked what the other humans of his home would do if they saw another night fury.

Hiccup and Toothless both agreed that it was best to leave now and decide later if they should come back. Stoicks death had already taken a toll on the people, and Hiccup did not want to cause them any more trouble.

They reached a clearing in the woods deep within the main land, taking a slight turn by leaning to the left both Hiccup and Toothless descended to the forest floor. Hiccup pulled too far to the left and hit a tree falling to the bottom with a thud.

After he had recovered from his fall, they found a nice oak tree, and Toothless taught Hiccup how to make a warm bed for the cold night. Hiccup could not pull the fire out of his body so Toothless relented and had Hiccup lay against his chest and belly, wrapping his arms around Hiccups sides for warmth.

"Hiccup, It was my fault... When we fell asleep last night I fell into a dream. I dreamed that I was in a very big place, with nothing, there was nothing at all. Everything was white and when I tried to dig I came up with the same results. Nothing... After some time I heard a voice, it greeted me and told me its name was Barvarta, god of the dragons."

"God of the Dragons? I never knew you had gods." Hiccup interrupted

"Neither did I" Toothless said in reply "It surprised me as much as it does you, so I accused it as being a fake. We had an argument about me being a real dragon because I cared for humans." Toothless said, Hiccup started to make a low hum in pleasure of their friendship and how Toothless would argue with gods for him.

"After a long time, I convinced Barvarta about me being a dragon... In a way I think he wanted me to get mad... He told me about others, over the seas... Dragons that were in trouble and that he needed me to help them. He told me that I needed to go and save my brothers and sisters. I told him that I would help, and bring you with me." Toothless paused

"And?" Hiccup asked

"And he said no, he told me that no human is worth this destiny or quest.. something like that."

"So what did you say then?" Hiccup asked looking up at toothless from below his head.

Toothless looked down at Hiccup and said smoothly "I came up with a compromise, I asked him to make you like me"

"So you where the one who did it?"

"No, Barvarta changed you... but I was the one who gave the idea... He said that it might work, but he also said that your gods might get mad. I told him that I would never go on a quest without you"

"Awww!" Hiccup said

Toothless laughed "He was mad, and he said he would do it. After that I only remember waking up to see me, but only white"

Hiccup lay there looking up to Toothless, with a sigh Hiccup looked puzzled.

"Something on your mind?"

"Ya, why white? Of all the colors, and the fact that I'm... we... are night fury, why white?" Hiccup asked

"I truly don't know" Toothless said sighing.

They both watched the stars twinkle on and off, wondering what was out there beyond the dark depths of the sky and past the clouds. They both thought of what was out there past the stars, they wondered if there were other worlds like the one they were on. Far past the stars they knew that the gods who had changed Hiccups life, where out there. What they were doing was a marvel and imposable to answer, but for once, they felt small and insignificant to the world and its true existence.

Hiccup's eyes began to droop and he dropped his head on Toothless's arm, falling into dreams. Toothless watched Hiccup and gazed at the wonder of his white scales. His eyes also began to fall like weights and he laid his head on Hiccups, pulling him closer and purring.

Thank you Barvarta, I know it must have been hard, or maybe it wasn't, but it means the world to me.
