We were practicing flying in the forest. It's been a month or two now since I've got my dragon, and together it feels like we were unstoppable.

"Follow me! Low-level evasive maneuvers!" I heard Hiccup yell

"You heard him (y/d/n)! Let's go!" I grinned

As we were flying I saw Snotlout going into the trees as he was yelling.

I chuckled and shook my head at his silliness.

(Y/d/n) came up to the thickest part of the forest. Skillfully, we turned verticle and went between the trees as I laid low on my dragon.

We made a turn and now my dragon and I regrouped with Astrid, Snotlout, the twins, and Hiccup

I was flying beside Astrid's right side.

I turned my head and I noticed Snotlout with sticks in his nose and leaves in his helmet.

I bursted out laughing

"That's a good look for you," Astrid said sarcastically

"I couldn't agree more," I said as I giggled

As we were flying Hiccup asked the group, "Has anyone seen Fishlegs?"

"I saw him yesterday. Does that count?" Ruffnut said

I rolled my eyes

"I haven't seen him since we started doing the maneuvers," I told Hiccup

"Alright, you guys go back to the Academy. I'll go find Fishlegs." Hiccup then took off

After a few seconds of flying, I asked

"Well, anyone up for a race?"

Everyone got their competitive game face on and we flew back to the arena.

•●●●•

"Ha, I win!" I said in a sing-song voice

As Astrid, Snotlout and the twins landed close behind.

Snotlout coming in close 2nd landing beside me "Well, I let you win," Snotlout said as he got off of Hookfang.

"Mhm, sure you did," I said teasingly

Fishlegs showed up shortly after and he started to tell us he saw a flaming squirrel. We looked at him feeling kind of skeptical. It sounded silly.

Hiccup then flew inside the arena holding something in his arms.

"What's that?" I asked pointing at it

"Is it the flaming squirrel?" Fishlegs asked nervously

"I think it's a new type of dragon." He said as he looked at it. He then placed the dragon on the ground

Fishlegs squealed "This is so exciting! It's a whole new species!"

Tuffnut looked at it "Doesn't look like a flaming squirrel to me."

"We have no idea what it's capable of! There's no telling what it might do." Fishlegs said nervously

Tuffnut walked up to the dragon and got in the dragon's face and gave him an order "Flame! Do it!"

The dragon jumps on his face and started to chew on his nose. Ruffnut started to laugh at Tuffnut

"AH! Get it off, get it off, get it off!" Tuffnut yelled

The dragon then jumps to Ruffnut and bites her nose

"Oh, that is funny." Tuffnut laughs

The dragon lets go of Ruffnut nose and jumped into Hiccup's arm.

Hiccup started to pet the dragon, comforting it "Come on, you guys, this is serious! We have to figure out what to do with him. He's hurt!"

"He's hurt?" Tuffnut said looked at Hiccup giving him the 'really' look.

Hiccup explained "He's just really scared. He'll settle down."

Fishlegs spoke up "Um, new species, remember? We actually don't know what he'll do."

"Well, somebody's got to take him home," Astrid said

"Uh, one dragon is enough for me," I said

All of us stepped away, leaving Hiccup holding the dragon

I felt bad but I can't take care of another dragon. I already have my hands full with (y/d/n)!

•●●●•

The next day at the Dragon Academy we were going to figure out what this dragon was and apparently Hiccup decided he wanted to name it Torch because of something the dragon did last night.

"Oh! This is so exciting! Documenting another new species... learning all about it!" Fishlegs said excitedly

"Learning again?" Said Tuffnut

"No thanks." Followed by Ruffnut

"There's nothing in the Book of Dragons that looks anything like him." Hiccup said

"We even get to determine what it's called. Heh. That is... that is a really big responsibility. I don't know if I'm ready for that." Fishlegs said with excitement

I rolled my eyes and chuckled. He is way overdramatic.

"I am! I'm gonna name the snot out of it!" Snotlout said getting excited

"Well, let's see what this dragon is all about." I said

Astrid measured the dragon's wing "twenty inches for the wings."

Fishlegs writes it down

"That's a big wingspan," said Hiccup

Snotlout shouted "Big Wing! Big Span! Big-Wing-Span!"

I facepalmed those names we're ridiculous. He was definitely naming the snot out of it. Well trying.

"Big-Wing-Span?" I said to Snotlout, holding in a laugh.

"It's a great name!" He exclaimed

I could only reply with a giggle

•●●●•

"May I have the honor of administering the claw-test?" Fishlegs said as he holds out a piece of paper in front of the dragon, who slices it up easily like yak butter.

"Look at these talons... They're razor-like." Fishlegs said in awe

"Whoa, they're crazy sharp." I mumbled to myself

"Sharp-Claw! Razor-Feet! Razor-Sharp-Claw-Talon-Feet" Snotlout yelled out

I held in a laugh and covered my mouth it's getting worse and worse

Tuffnut asked "Hold on. Is he serious?"

•●●●•

Fishlegs looked at Hiccup "You know what's next, don't you?"

Hiccup was clueless "No. Not really."

"Only the single most important test to determine a dragon's reaction to eels... The Eel-Reaction-Test!" Fishlegs announced as he pulled out an eel from a basket. Our dragons flew away in fear.

Except for this tiny dragon. He sniffed it and then...

I opened my mouth in shock. "Did he just--"

"He ate it! He ate the eel!" Fishlegs yelled

Snotlout yelled out "Eel Eater! Come on, that's perfect!"

"Oh, Snotlout." I said under my breath, shaking my head.

Hiccup was surprised "Fishlegs, has there ever been a Dragon who wasn't afraid of--"

Fishlegs interrupted him with enthusiasm "Never in recorded history. We're in uncharted waters, my friend."

Hiccup looked back at the dragon "You hear that, Torch? You're one of a kind."

Fishlegs proceeds to the next test "Now we need to get him to fly."

"Maybe if Torch saw Toothless fly? Toothless! Let's take a ride, bud! Toothless!" Hiccup calls out to Toothless, but he ignores him and is looking off into the distance.

Snotlout snickered "Ha, ha, ha! So much for the dragon trainer. We've got this!" He hopped onto his dragon "Watch and learn," Hookfang suddenly sped out of the area "HOOOOKFANG!" He shrieked.

Hookfang flew around wildly and fast. He landed back inside the arena

"Okay, your turn. Don't think you have to live up to that." Snotlout said voice cracking and breathing heavily.

I walked up to Snotlout "Are you alright?" I asked worriedly

"Oh, yeah, yeah. That was nothing." He said as he was catching his breath.

Meanwhile, Torch hopped off the wooden table and started to walk around in circles

"What's he doing?" Ruffnut asks

"I think something's wrong." Astrid said worridly

"Aw man, we broke him!" Tuffnut said disappointingly

"Maybe he can't fly." Hiccup said

The dragon started to spin in spirals and flies around the arena, sending out a spark shower as he flies.

We looked at him in awe. Never seeing anything like this before. "You... are one incredible little dragon!" Hiccup said blown away

Ruffnut pointed out "Whoa... Look at that burn mark!"

"Look at this burn mark." Tuffnut said as he holds out his arm which is smoldering

Fishlegs was surprised and excited "Did you see how he flew? He spun like... like a typhoon!"

Astrid added "And he came back just like a boomerang!"

Snotlout started to shout out some names "Hot-Spinner! Flaming-Combacker!"

Fishlegs thought for a second "No... Typhoomerang."

"Typhoomerang sounds awesome!" I exclaimed excitedly

Snotlout made a face "Typhoomerang...? Nah, I don't get it"

•●●●•

T

he next day I was working with Gothi until Astrid, Hiccup, the twins, and Snotlout came by and told me something was going on. I looked at Gothi hoping she would let me leave early, luckily, she nodded and let me leave.

I got on (y/d/n) and followed the gang.

•●●●•

"Like we said; ultimate destruction." Ruffnut said

I was blown away.

"That burn mark..." I trailed off

"We've seen that burn mark before." Hiccup said

"Not this big" Astrid added

"You know what this means. Big burn mark--" Fishleg started

Hiccup finished "Big Typhoomerang."

An enormous Typhoomerang appears flying in the sky burning things

"He looks mad" Tuffnut said stating the obvious

"Uh, it's not a he, it's a she. That's Torch's mother." Hiccup said still looking at the huge Typhoomerang

"Torch is a baby." Astrid gasped

Fishlegs voice cracked "Whoever gets between that mother and this baby is gonna get fried!" Fishlegs, who was holding Torch, passes Torch to Tuffnut

Tuffnut passed Torch to Ruffnut

"I don't want it!" Ruffnut said as she passes Torch to Snotlout

Torch grabbed onto Snotlout and held on "Just leave it, and let's get out of here!" He shouted

I took a step back and Snotlout pushed Torch onto Hiccup

Torch's Mother sees Hiccup holding her baby

Hiccup gulped "Uh-oh." While, Torch chirped.

Hiccup placed Torch on the ground hoping it would go back "Now, uh, go home to your Mama."

The mother Typhoomerang decided that she wanted to fly towards us, shooting fire.

"Run!" Hiccup yelled we all ran to our dragons

"You guys go that way, I'll lead her back into the forest away from the village."

Hiccup ran the other way from the village

"Hiccup!" Astird yelled

"Come on Astrid!" I shouted

We got on our dragons and flew up wards.

"We can watch him from afar. We don't want to interfere." I said

We flew far enough away from Hiccup and the Typhoomerang but close enough to see. It looks like Toothless was there now and Hiccup was using the size of the giant Typhoomerang to his advantage.

As Hiccup was flying he managed to get the Typhoomerang to crash into the ground. Hiccup landed and noticed Torch jumping off of Toothless and running towards his mother.

He nuzzled her and she started to slowly wake up. Suddenly, I noticed little baby dragons.

"Do you guys see that?" I asked out loud

"They're Torch's siblings." Fishleg said in awe.

Torch's siblings slid off of their mother's back and they all reunite.

All the babies hopped back onto the mother's back then the mother flew up and started to spin in the air, sending out a spark shower, and flew away into the sky.

We all looked at where they all disappeared. It felt bitter sweet but he was where he belonged.

His family.
