Toothless was worried about his rider having too much on his plate and he wasn’t there for him- with everything going on. He knew Hiccup understood but he was still his best friend and he felt bad that it had to be like this. Still he rumbled with contentment at the scratches and bumped his head gently into Castiel before moving towards Aurora and the hatchlings.

A few hours after Hiccup’s departure there was a rumble in the distance and a great shuddering off the land. Toothless was instantly alert, lurching up to his feet and running to the mouth of the cave. He narrowed his eyes in the direction of the main water ways before turning his head and barking at Aurora to keep the hatchlings safe and inside. From around one of the cliffs a large head appeared- one massive horn taking the lead as a dragon nearly massive beyond comprehension… pushed through the water currents. Toothless immediately got down on his haunches baring his teeth and furling up his wings in warning. Get no closer was the obvious message he was trying to push upon the intruder.

Then there came another, appearing upon the bewilder beast’s head with a smile most foul. There was a crackle at the back of Toothless’ throat and his scales lit up with his inner fire, eyes blazing with anger this human should have inhaled the water of the sea and lived no more but here the disgusting man was- laughing. “If isn’t the night fury but where is the great dragon master?” He called out spreading his arms out wide. “You’re all alone you miserable beast.” Toothless inhaled, rising up on his hide legs and shooting what he considered a warning shot. Raining chunks of the cliff side down upon the huge dragon and causing it to momentarily duck its head. The man kept on laughing though. “Call out your mistress night fury or I will have your family forever intomed in ice.” Frost lifted from the bewilder beast’s mouth, a sure sign that this was a realistic threat.
