Y/n and Toothless both leaned towards the right, the Vikings were having a hard time steering. Stoick scowled, walking over and doing it himself. Y/n grew more desperate, pulling at the chains. The leather dug into her (soft/tough) skin, her hands forming into fists so tight that her claws dug into her palms.

Toothless growled from behind the leather strap holding his jaw shut. Y/n growled lowly, her lips pulling back into a harsh snarl. She pulled at her chains aggressively, red markings making themselves visible on her wrists. Y/n shrieked as soon as the boat docked against a rocky beach. Toothles pulled against the restraints on his neck, the large wood collar pressing against the bars and his head- it did its job well in keeping them in place. Y/n flapped her good and prosthetic wings as best she could, the chained locks tight against her good limb. She panted heavily in fear, pulling away yet again.

Stoick glared at the two creatures they were supposed to fear. The murderous beings... and they were more focused on getting away rather than going for the kill. Stoick turned his attention to the large volcano-like structure. He raised his axe.

"FIRE!" He called, a catapult slinging a large rock towards a large platform. It caved in. They shot again, this time with a flaming cannon ball. It flew through, revealing countless dragons hanging on the walls, upside down from the ceiling, and even in the small crevices of the tunnel. She shouted and waved around his torch, forcing each dragon to cower and leave in fear. None of them.. were attacking. Stoick realized this and laughed. They finally scared off the dragons! Yes! Peace, at last!!

A loud, animalistic grunt was heard from Toothless's boat, and a muffled scream was heard from Y/n's. Y/n became desperate to the point where she raised her head to face the sky and slammed the side of her face into the boat floor. Panicked and worried shouts were heard.

"Stop that!" "Hey, cut it out!" "You'll hurt yourself, girl!" Y/n ignored thier worried comments and attempts to stop her. The metal buckle dug into the side of her head, blood trickling down the side of her face. It dripped onto the ground. With one last slam, the muzzle was off and hanging to one side of her face: it was still hooked onto her ear.

It was approaching.

Her h/l, silver and h/c hair covered part of her face, a strand of it hanging in front of her face. She then screamed at the top of her lungs. An unholy wail, a banshee scream- a plead for them to listen to. Y/n inhaled deeply, flinging her head forward with her next word.

"RUUUUN!"

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

Stoick turned around to see why Y/n was petrified with his own eyes. Stoick was quickly placing the pieces together. He quickly retreated from the front of the cave towards the crowd.

"Don't let your guard down! Load the catapults! Get ready for war!" He demanded.

Y/n watched with wide as the queen finally was forced out of her nest. Her eyes slitted into thin ovals yet again. Toothless shrieked through his teeth, waving his head around and struggling. Chaos ensued.

Catapults were flung, people were injured, boats were sunk. Y/n took one last gasp of air before sinking into the endless ocean. She felt a thud next to her and she saw Toothless. The salt stung both of thier eyes and Y/n's wound.

She felt like her lungs were going to explode. She could see figures of a familiar scrawny boy. She attempted to yell out, only bubbles making thier way out of her mouth. Y/n pulled at the restraints, seeing a larger figure dive towards the smaller ones. Her eyes began to shut.

No...

Please...

I don't want this. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I didn't understand before...

I promise I'll try.

I'll try better this time, just please.

I didn't mean to hurt them last time.

I swear.

I beg you.

Have mercy.

Y/n coughed up sea water, gasping for precious air as she looked to Hiccup. Her eyes glossed over- and not from seawater. She leapt onto his form, hugging him tightly as she pressed a firm kiss to his cheek. She sniffed.

"I knew it." She commented softly. Hiccup smiled and nodded towards her. Y/n smiled, flapping her wings to get rid of water. She ran forwards and leapt high in the air before catching wind under her wings. Stoick watched as Hiccup stared after her with a pink tint on his cheeks. He placed a nervous and hesitant hand on his son's arm.

...

Snotlout, Fishlegs, and the twins all gaped at thier new ally.

"They're rea- SHE'S REAL?" Called Snotlout. He only sort of believed Hiccup she he said that Y/n even existed. Fishlegs laughed at this 'scientific breakthrough'. The twins, being the twins, hyped up Y/n. "Dude! She's got wings!?" Called Ruffnut. "No fair! She doesn't need a dragon! No offense." Commented Tuffnut. The Zippleback growled, emitting smoke around the Red Death and lighting it.

....

"I'm proud to call you my son." Said Stoick confidently. His sup smiled at the chief and nodded. "..Thanks, dad." He said with a newfound courage.

Hiccup took to the sky, Astrid giving the signal to get Snotlout out of there. Y/n shrieked in joy to be in the air again, wiping the blood from her cheek. Hearing Astrid shout for help, Y/n watched as Toothless tucked in his wings, fell, and made a sharp u-turn towards the blonde. She flew alongside Toothless and Hiccup. Hiccup nodded as they flew around the Red Death. Y/n flew above Hiccup. The boy shouted up to the girl.

"It has wings!" He exclaimed before grinning a little. "Let's see if it can use them!" He said. Hiccup and Toothless dived down with Y/n joining him.

"I've got your back, Hiccup!" She reassured, reeling back her dominant hard and chucking a plasma ball towards the Queen. She smiled.

She scowled at the toxic leader of thier nest. Toothless also built up a plasma ball, firing at the Queen. They both began to book it up to the clouds. The Red Death roared in rage, flapping its mighty wings to fly after them. Y/n nodded towards Hiccup.

"It can fly!" She confirmed. They continued to weave through the stormy and smoke-filled clouds, tainted with the sense of battle and war. Y/n charged up a blast and sent it towards the Queen, making the Red Death look her way. Y/n took advantage of her dark wings, flying through the clouds. Toothless and Hiccup did the same, attacking and retreating.

Each blast of fire and plasma illuminated thier silhouettes for the village to see. Astrid began to chant encouragement under her breath nervously.

"Come on, come on, come on." She whispered with worry.

The Red Death was enraged, with bruises forming under her scales. It shrieked loudly. Its almighty roar rang through the ears of the sky and the vikings below it began to fire at random, a steady stream of hot flames leaving her mouth, ignited from a flammable gas.

Y/n flew next to Toothless, thier prosthetics catching fire. Y/n gasped, nearly losing her balance. Now, she had to work even harder to move her wings up and down correctly as the matiral burnt off of the metal skeleton.

"Just a few more minutes, guys!" Hiccup reassured. The Red Death roared once again before beginning to inhale steadily, sucking in the air Y/n, Toothless, and Hiccup all flew on. Y/n strains to keep up with Toothless, but just a little behind him.

"Not so fireproof on the inside, huh?" Teased Hiccup after Toothless had shot the plasma inside of the Terrible Terror's mouth.

Y/n growled, her palm heating up. The Red Death's mouth began to fill with flammable gas- the barely audible hiss of air meeting Hiccup's human ears. It was just barely within Y/n's and Toothless's range of hearing.

"Wait for it..!" Repeated Hiccup. "Wait for it!" He called. At the last second, just as Y/n's prosthetic gave out, they both turned around and fired. The Red Death began to burn from the inside out, falling head first into the shore at hundreds of miles an hour. Hiccup was knocked off of Toothless's saddle and was forced unconsious. Y/n reached for his hand, flapping her only wing. Toothless roared in fear, racing towards the pair.

....

"You brought him back. You brought them both back. Thank you, for bringing them both." Said Stoick, expressing his gratitude. Stoick inhaled sharply, bowing his head and placing a gentle hand on Toothless's side.

Gobber walked over with a chuckle. "Well, most of them, of course." He commented.

....

Hiccup groaned at the smell of bad fish. "Ew, Toothless! You know that doesn't wash out!" He complained, watching his dragon run around inside of... his... house?

"I'm in house. You are in my house?" He looked to the mass in the bed next to him. His eyes widened. "You're both in my house!?" He asked with shock. Y/n began to stir, making Hiccup sit he gasped lightly, taking the covers off of the lower half of his body. He put down his leg and.. his prosthetic before hobbling over to Y/n. She had bandaged over the left side of her face, burns peeking from underneath. It doesn't look like she lost her eye, nor did it look bad enough to take her vision. Maybe it'll just scar. He helped up Y/n, who was extremely dizzy.

They walked towards the door- courtesy of Toothless. Hiccup began to open the door, but pretty much immediately slammed it shut. He chuckled nervously, an embarrassed blush covering his cheeks as he looked to a startled Y/n.

"Uh, sorry, let me just..." Y/n giggled at his antics and nodded. "Go ahead, Hiccup." She offered. She angled herself so that she could see through the exit as well. When Hiccup opened it, her eyes widened and she could see why he slammed it shut. She was kept stable by Toothless, but Hiccup (after a few moments of practice) could walk alone. He limped forwards. Y/n looked at the safe haven around them in awe.

Hiccup laughed in shock, immediately surrounded by people. Astrid punched his arm, causing Y/n to laugh. Hiccup yelped. "That was for scaring me."

"Ow! Is it always going to be like this? Because-" He sputtered before being pulled into a hug. As an only child, Hiccup longed to get along with someone as a sibling. Anyone. This hug provided him just that. She blinked at Astrid pulled away and crossed her arms.

"That.. was for everything else." She huffed. Y/n wrapped an arm around his shoulders, looking around with her bandaged face. Ruff, Tuff, Fishlegs, and everyone else began to swarm them. Gobber came to the rescue and began to speak.

"So? Whaddya think? Tried to add a little 'Hiccup flair' in." He asked. Hiccup laughed and examined the prosthetic. "Eeehh, might make a few tweaks here and there," he joked.

Y/n giggled, kissing his cheek. He went red up to his ears. Gobber and Stoick laughed and handed Y/n and Hiccup a pack each. Y/n unwrapped hers to reveal a new prosthetic. It was a vibrant red, matching with the shade of whatever Hiccup was holding with a skull on it for some pizazz.

Hiccup unwrapped his and grinned at the sight of a new leather prosthetic for Toothless. "Look, we match!" Y/n chirped, making Toothless purr.

"This is.." Hiccup said. Stoick laughed, walking over. "Amazing? Turns out, all this time, we just needed a little bit of this." Stoick complimented, gesturing towards Hiccup. Hiccup looked down at himself and back to his dad with a smile.

"You just gestured to all of me."

....

Y/n laughed as she flew through the village, racing the other dragon riders. She stuck out her tongue at Snotlout, who laughed cockily before flexing his muscles.

She caught up with Stormfly and Astrid, balancing on the Nadder's tail before leaping forward. Astrid laughed, grinning at her sister figure before she and Stormfly sped after them.

She waved at Fishlegs with a laugh. Fishlegs grinned and sent her a thumbs up as they turned.

Y/n landed on the end of Barf and Belch, sprinting along thier long body. She smacked Ruffnut and Tuffnut on the back of thier heads, causing them to shout in surprise as thier helmets covered thier eyes. "Oh, I'm hurt! I'm very much hurt!" Shouted Tuffnut, flailing around his arms. "I've been blinded!" Shouted Ruffnut.

Finally, she caught up with Toothless, landing behind Hiccup. "Miss me?" She asked cheekily. Hiccup laughed with her. "More than my lost leg." He commented before Y/n slid off of Toothless and skydived. She cheered and opened her wings slowly to swoop up in a large arch to avoid any strain on her wing.

Her e/c eyes shimmered. She had on newer, cleaner clothes that consisted of a dull f/c shirt, dark pants, and boots (thankfully!! She says her feet hurt from walking barefoot). The left side of her face was littered with burns and there was a scratch on her ear. After all, it's only fun if you get a scar out of it.

She landed next to Toothless and Hiccup, her wings folding behind her body. They were taller than her, the tips on her wings reaching just above her head and the tips just barely dragging on the floor. She pressed a kiss to Hiccup's cheek, watching his cheeks tint red as he smiled goofily at her.

These were her people.

This was her village.

This was her world.

And this...

this was the family she wants to journey the world with.
