Part Four: Beneath the Earth
The sound of claws against stone fills the cave – so many of them, or so fast! Their claws patter like summer rain on the king’s lake, and Hiccup’s heart clenches. He yearns to be back there, to see the surface of the water all silvery and rippled, full of small movements, and f

He crouches in his dragon-companion’s shadow, the thrill of the unknown humming through him in a steady keen interspersed with short, excited yelps. He peeks around Toothless, eyes wide. The opening in the wall is no less dark, nor are the s

Part Two: From the Fire
Pressed low to the rough grass of the meadow cliff, the ocean roaring below, Hiccup shifts one paw forward, silently sliding his small body across the ground. He shifts his weight with the ease of long practice and many similar hunts, ready to spring.

Toothless narrows his eyes, sealing his nostrils closed against the breath that trembles in his throat. It is eager to spring out again, but no winds rustle the grasses, and he must be very sneaky. One paw hovers with nowhere yet to land, and he leans forward carefully, nose questing.
