![]() ![]() The fledgling was five years old now and he was even more energetic than when he was little, well, littler. Many, many moons had passed since both Hiccup’s arrival at the nest and Toothless’ hatching. Hiccup chirped back - joyous to have a nestmate who was so enjoying and agreeable. Toothless began repeating the two names, warbling and chirping in excitement. Toothless jumped up, *click*-ss, *click*-ss-ee-kp!Ĭloudjumper and Hiccup shared a look, the elder rubbed his own cheek against the hatchling, nuh, ee-kp-*click*-ss, the elder drako’s name always went first, as was the tradition in their nest. *click*-ss, it seemed like Hiccup was going to have a new favorite word. Hiccup crooned, crawling back toward Toothless. Cloudjumper looked the hatchling over, seeing that no teeth were present at all. The Night Fury opened his mouth in a gummy smile, trying to mimic the one he saw on Hiccup’s face. Ee-kp, Hiccup said his own name, a word he had grown to love since his arrival at the nest. The two children looked at each other, both their green eyes were alight with curiosity at who lay before them. The Night Fury turned in surprise, jumping back a little at the sudden contact. Hiccup tumbled forward as well, rubbing his cheek on the hatchling, scent marking him like he had seen other drako do to their nestmates. The hatchling chirped, finally getting to use the vocal cords that had been forming for months now. He slowly opened his eyes, emerald irises wide in wonder. With one final push, a coal-black Night Fury popped out, tumbling onto the soft surface of the nest. The inky shell started to crumble, littering the nest in debris. He tapped the egg ever so slightly, alerting the hatchling. ![]() Hiccup crawled over to it, quirking his head in confusion.Ĭloudjumper moved to, making sure that the hatchling would be okay, capable of safely breaking through the tough eggshell. ![]() Oh the egg - it seemed to be shaking even more than usual, rocking back and forth in the nest. Hiccup attempted to warble back, mp-*hiss* ey. There was a slight movement in the nest he first thought it was Hiccup feebly attempting to crawl away, but the fledgling wasn’t anywhere near the edge. There were drako from all sorts of backgrounds, those saved from trappers or hunters, abandoned fledglings, those who had been born in the sanctuary - nearly every single one was surprised when Cloudjumper had returned with the Night Fury egg four moons ago. The only reason he knew of the egg’s origins were from other drako who had come from far away lands. The egg was a Night Fury egg, the only one that Cloudjumper had ever seen, and possibly the last he would ever see. Many of his sounds were a jumbled mess but every once and a while Hiccup would say something - clear as day - and Cloudjumper was captivated with the fledgling’s thoughts. Hiccup was chirping away at the egg, remembering not to touch from what Cloudjumper had said. Even if his words came out in a funny sort of way, the way he smiled, eyes widening, his hands gripping and moving around, were enough for Cloudjumper and other elder drako to understand his wants and communication attempts. It was increasingly easier to understand Hiccup once he was able to get a grasp on his own body: he was quite expressive. The fledgling was picking up speech quite easily - nearly every day he seemed to be warbling out new phrases. The midnight black egg that Hiccup had become enraptured by was due to hatch any day sometimes it would shake back and forth, ever so slightly, and Hiccup would squawk and attempt to whistle at it. Hiccup was just another one of those lonely fledglings. The elder had experienced picking up many younger drako - those who had either been abandoned by their parents or left to die because of hunters - and each and every time Cloudjumper made sure they made their way safely back to the nest. As soon as the elder drako had smelled the loneliness on the fledgling he knew what had to be done. He still couldn’t stray far from the nest, his muscles not being strong enough to do so and the fact that Cloudjumper was hovering over Hiccup all the time to make sure the fledgling was safe.Ĭloudjumper knew that Hiccup wasn’t like the other drako, he didn’t have wings, or scales, or any of the other features his nestmates had, but he was a drako to the core. ![]() The nest was a wondrous place that Hiccup loved to explore.
