#doomfang

Short story concept:

(Takes place after the second movie, before the third.)

Berk's fishing crew had left their usual waters, following a rare migration of fish into the frozen north. It had been 2 weeks since last terror mail was received and a rescue team was assembled: hiccup, snotlout, and fishlegs. After several days of flying they find the crew thanks to their smoking campfire. 3 men and 2 dragons were lost and the ships were obliterated. The survivors said it was jormungander itself, A giant black serpent with eyes so blue they froze you in your tracks. There was no warning signs, it just attacked. Hiccup and crew escorted the survivors back to berk. (this took a week as there were several injured survivors, human and dragon) The moment they returned to berk hiccup started planning an expedition to go back and find the serpent. Fishlegs dove into research and came up with nothing. Till eret heard the story. Before the dragon hunters came, his tribe had originated in the far north. He remembered the old legend of the doomfang, a giant serpent that was only found at the end of the world. It's breath so cold it froze the air and eyes so blue and piercing they stole your very soul. Hide so thick and smooth that nothing could pierce it, and such speed that no ship could overtake it. Or escape it. This just made hiccup want to leave even more but he had responsibilities.

After several months hiccup finally had the time to actually go. Astrid insisted to take someone with him and eret was voluntold. Him having the most experience in the frozen north. on the second night of travel eret remembered another fact about the doomfang, It was said it responsible for the auroras. It would breathe into the sky and all the souls it had consumed became the auroras. So whenever the auroras, it was the doomfang releasing the souls of the dead. Also entering the mouth of the sleeping beast would let you enter the underworld.

After arriving to the ice fields they quickly find evidence. An entire fleet of dragon hunter ships, rendered into a few planks are a torn piece of cloth. On the horizon they could see an enormous wake. Speeding off, Hiccup and eret catch up to the tip of the tail as it enters a massive, half submerged, ice cave. Unable to follow they fly up to the top of the ice sheet and take a break. Trying to figure out how find it. Eret want to go home, they've seen enough. Hiccup says they should look for other ice tunnels maybe catching it leaving one. As a snow storm suddenly hits, a distant, deafening, crack is heard. The crack of an ice sheet being spit. In the distance an aurora blasts out of the ice. They quickly mount their dragons and fly over, only to find a quickly closing crevasse. With the other option being freezing to death they dive into the crevasse as it closes behind them.

Hiccup, toothless, eret, and skull crusher find themselves in a massive semi hollowed out iceberg. They land on some solid ice and take a minute to breathe. The darkness behind them stirs. An eye the size of a typhoomerang opens. Deep and piercing as if the glacier itself was looking at them. Colors shifting and changing as it stares. All they could do is return the stare frozen in fear and awe. The dragon reared its massive head and gave them a very confused and offended look. The massive dragon flicks its toungue, takes a second to figure out it its food and attacks. (Its mouth opens like the predators and it basically has a second face/set of jaws that looks like a human skull. nice and horrifying) Toothless tackles hiccup to safety as a long tongue strikes out, and they quickly leave. Toothless roars and tried to stop the dragon, but that just lead to another offended and confused look. narrowly Dodging a bite, They escape into one of the many offshoots to the cavern. The doomfang swiftly follows as they fly through the icy maze of tunnels. Barely escaping by flying straight up after the exit. The dragon speeds out into the ocean and turns looking for its rude meal. Toothless and skull Crusher hid in the clouds. Flying away as fast as possible.

These are from the httyd books. (I don’t draw eyes btw)

Please don’t save to your camera roll.

I do not know his name. Though I have asked, several times. He is quite large, and very terrifying.

But I do not believe he means me harm.

There have been several times....

In the storm.

With the pirates.

That.... thing.... I don't know what it was, but he ate it.

I would have been scared once. Would have trembled in my boots with fear.

But I have grown since then.

(I have faced far worse then him)

It has been many years. Yet still he follows me.

I believe I know why he does it. Why he follows me.

Sometimes I wonder if he'll ever leave.

I think he will. With the rest. More and more are leaving these days. I will miss him. When my shadow disappears from the sea.

I do not want him to leave without a name.

I will call him Loyal. For that is what he is.

Toothless is jealous. But. He understands.

I fear he understands too much these days.

He is so young. So old. So small. So fierce.

They are the last two now.

Toothless and Loyal. Loyal and Toothless.

.

Last night Loyal disappeared.

My memoirs are almost finished.

Toothless is still here.

I do not want to live in a world without Toothless.

You know.. I've always wondered about book 4 (How to cheat a dragon's curse)

Especially when the doomfang and Hiccup were fighting for the potato young me just thought hiccup could just cut it in half for them to share right? But I did some digging and I found that there was a factor that made me rethink this

1. If he lets go since he was supposedly holding the potato with two hands the potato would just go straight to the doomsfang As the tongue was very very slippery and he just recovered from a big fight, his strength would not be enough for only one hand to battle the doomfang
