David's POV

The sailing had taken longer than I'd wished, the storms that came drifted us away from the island. Something's always been strange about my mom's island anyway. She wouldn't ever let me go to it. Whenever the island was in sight, the water would start getting wild. Perhaps we had some Scouldrons making a ruckus under the surface.

I directed my men as we sailed closer. The island was a mere two days away. I couldn't retain my laughter as I thought about this.

"Seems it's almost time for us to meet once more, Eclipse."

Eclipse POV

I looked at the mirror hanging on the wall of my bedroom. I saw my human form once more,  black hair, blue eyes. My hair had grown some while we've been here. I sighed looking at myself, why did I have to bring all of this trouble to the Vikings? Sure they're helping me out, but only because they're my friends. I don't want to be the reason for them dying if this comes down to a battle.

I took my time as I pulled on my boots and prepared to walk out to the gang. It's been a while since I've talked to any of them. I opened up the door and walked out to the dining room, where they were all sure to be. It was dinner time, and I could hear them chatting and laughing in there.

I also heard the dragons in another room, all of them having fun as well. All of them were here because they were supporting me. I couldn't help but feel loved knowing this. Every one of the dragons and Vikings have a special place in my heart, and I wouldn't want to be unable to speak to half of them. I guess I could write with my claws if I wanted to talk to the Vikings, but I haven't learned how to write yet. 

I entered the dining room, they were all too distracted at first to notice my presence. Then they turned and noticed me. "Eclipse!" Some of them exclaimed. I smiled and sat down at the table they were all at. "How are you guys doing?" I asked, looking around the group. Most of them were doing fairly well.

I was happy to eat with them, because the more I thought about it, this could be near the last time I'm able to have a conversation with them like this. I wish it wouldn't come down to this, but it seems I don't have much of a choice. Either way, I don't want to ruin the moment and tell them I might never be able to talk to them again. But if David can't find us, then it wouldn't be necessary to worry them about this being the last time I talk to them.

After dinner, the twins left to go have fun in the "boar pit" as they called it. I, for one, didn't know this island had a boar pit, but their dragon(s) seemed happy to go with them. I walked into the room I heard the rest of the dragons in. I shifted and placed my clothes down on the ground where I could fetch them later. They all seemed pretty eager to go out of the room and play around. Well, all of them but Toothless. Toothless and I were alone in the room. It was a nice area, and had a door leading outside.

"Eclipse? Oh, hey. I haven't seen you in a while." Toothless greets, watching me enter the room. "Hey Toothless . . . I want to ask you a question, and I want you to reply honestly." I say, walking over to him in my dragon form. "Okay, shoot." He said, sitting down beside me.

"What do you think about me?" I looked at him with a curious expression, knowing we were alone.

"What do I think about you? Well, I know this might make our relationship kind of weird, but I've really liked you ever since I first got to know you. Like . . . More than just friends." He replied, looking towards me nervously.

I looked towards him, suddenly feeling hot. I'm sure if he was in a human form he would be blushing at this moment as well. "You like-like me?" I felt dumb for saying it like that, but still. His face seemed slightly scared, and he shook his head and looked away.

"It was stupid for me to say it, I get it. You're obviously not interested in me in that way." He prepared to get up and walk off. I got up and stopped him in his tracks. "Toothless, if I didn't feel the same way, I would've told you by now!" I blurted out. The tension grew in the room. I felt the heat grow under my scales, who knew a dragon had body heat like this. Not me for one. The room seemed to shrink as we were both in it, and did I mention it was getting hot?

He sat back down on the ground and we continued talking to each other. I didn't want our 'relationship' to go to fast for him, but it seems he was the one going fast. We eventually made our way outside, it was very late, no one else would be outside. "Don't see a night as perfect as this very often." He commented, looking up at the stars.

"Did Hiccup and you stargaze often? Flying high in the skies at night, no worries in the world than to get back for supper?" I questioned, watching the shining stars twinkle in the night sky. I sighed a breath of envy, I remember those days. The days I never had to worry about a deranged psychotic bratty moron chasing after me. Those were the days.

It's funny how I look back to the days that bored me, and notice how much I really had back then. I always had food, water, a place to sleep, but I always lacked one thing, and that thing seems to be the others that have supported me this past year and a half. The memory seems so faded, so lost, far too long ago. I was yearning to remember all of it, from the singing crickets, to the sound the trees made when the wind blew.

Toothless POV

Her eyes seemed to be glazed over, remembering something from long ago. I was tempted to ask her what she was thinking about, but I knew better than to ruin a good memory. She was so pretty in the light of the moon. I hadn't realized I'd been staring until she turned towards me. We were both suddenly enchanted by each other's gaze, neither one of us willing to break it.

She then smiled, and leaned against me. We stayed there for a moment, enjoying each other's company. I wrapped my wing around her and held her close to me, allowing her to know how dear she is to me. If I was to lose her, I couldn't imagine the pain and grief that would take over my body. I couldn't bare to think what'd happen to her if I was gone from her life. I know I'm her best and most trusted friend.

Before we knew it, the night drifted us away, and we woke in a tangled mess.

Eclipse's POV

Morning came quickly, and I knew what I was going to choose. Sorry gang, seems I'll be more trouble than I'm worth. I made my way to Luna to give her the news.
