//Closed
Starter for frigidalpha
The nest had always been a place of peace and serenity. It made Valka feel like she belonged and that she had finally found a home after nearly twenty years on Berk among dragon killing humans (humans who never knew how to listen).
The foliage was vibrant, the nest thrived, and everything felt whole and good. It was a sight that took her breathe away even after so many years…
Her son would be around fifteen now…
The woman flinched at the stray, penetrating, thought.
Her son… was he doing well? If she were to see him would she see the spitting image of his father or would she see–
No.
She couldn’t let doubt cloud her judgement. While Hiccup had been born a wee thing she knew that he would undoubtedly grow to be a strong, stubborn viking just like his father.
She shook her head, shaking herself from those thoughts and stood up, taking her time in walking along the nicely formed rock structure, heavily covered in moss though it did nothing to detract from the beauty that was the nest.
Now where in the world was Cloudjumper? Surely the stormcutter was hiding somewhere…
“Ohhh you want to play like that don’t you?” She laughed freely when heard the familiar warbling emanating from the rock above her.
“Oh you’re such a child sometimes. Come down!” The dragon merely held onto the rock tighter.
“By thor–fine! If that’s how you want to be! Big baby…” She let out another chuckle as she walked past the stormcutter’s hideaway and towards the large pool of water that naturally flowed in the center of the nest.
Valka pretended that she didn’t notice the dragon following behind her.
The decision to allow a viking into the nest was one made hastily, trusting the Stormcutter's decision that she belonged. Cerulean eyes cracking open after hearing the quiet warbling, and laughter of the Stormcutter and their rider. Alerting him to the duo's antics.
Lifting his head slowly, he watched from his stone where the two seemed to be in some sort of stalemate, only for the viking to walk away, an amused rumble rising in his throat at the antics before turning his attention to the woman.
Although she came from a nest where violence and bloodshed was the usual, she was as delicate with hatchlings as a mother dragon, truly a dragon at heart, and yet with the fondness for dragons of one of their own, she'd brought injured dragons away from the biting traps of a mad man. Something he was grateful for. And yet it only furthered his thought that bringing her into the nest, was something he held no regret for doing.
Resting his head back on his forelimbs, the bewilderbeast watched her approach, still getting used to the delicate steps of the female in contrast to the heavy, clicking talons of her dragon companion, even after so many years of her being intergraded so flawlessly into the social construct of the nest.
Pupils rounding out to hide most of the color in his eye, the bewilderbeast inched closer just a little bit, resting the tips of his tusks ever so slightly against the shore, waiting to see how the woman would react, he honestly couldn't remember if he'd done it before, ending up with a portion of his lower jaw in the water like a he'd done all the years before when he'd been learning how to swim by his parents and siblings. His tail flicking faintly in the water.

Dragons flew out of one of the entrances squawking and screeching in horror. She stepped out of the shadows of the cavern looking around, her eyes widen in awe. She never been inside of a Bewilderbeast nest before. It was a perfect mixture of greenery and rock.
She then looked down and saw the Alpha, her ears flattened.
- I… was just curious okay…?-
Cerulean eyes narrowed slightly as the dragon padded into sight, pupils slowly rounding out as he dropped his defensive posture, simply tilting his head slowly to the side. He couldn't detect any lies in the dragoness's words. With a small sigh of frost, the aquatic dragon started towards the multi-headed dragon.
Calm, Safe.
Absentmindedly the gentle giant hoped the new arrival heard him, he wasn't sure just what they were, only that the scent of a bewilderbeast clung to them. Pausing a few feet from the ledge they'd perched on, the bewilderbeast sat back on his haunches, sparing a glance back to make sure the rest of the flock was alright before looking back at the dragonness.
Name, Purpose?
He paused, looking the dragon over swiftly before deciding to ask.
Injured?

Valka + Cloudjumper
hyriidizedmutant:
Her gigantic, broad wings glided upon cool updraft as she flew the flew above the cloud bank, avoiding any Viking or Dragon Trapper ship that could possibly be down below , sailing upon the.sea’s watery surface. Though their nets and bolos wouldn’t be able to reach her, the tales of an massive, unknown dragon would be sure to attract more. But she was in a safe zone for now, no ship sail this far north, not with the icebergs and icy land bridge. She slowly began to dip below the cloud bank to see where she is in generally, she stopped and hovered in midair as her sharp eyes laid upon what looked like an titanic, icy moutian, a huge icy dome wrapped the side of it. Could it be?
She went into a gentle dive towards the icy mountain, she flew around the nest, expecting it. Is this a Bewilderbeast nest? She had never seen a Bewilderbeast nest, it had a powerful look to it. Curiousity took over, she want to see the inside, she looked around the massive nest until she found opening big enough for her to fly into. Once inside wild dragons sqauwked, yowled, and screeched out in surprise at the strange dragon. They scattered, scurried deeper inside when they saw her, seeing other creatures run from wasn’t new to her. Her scent was scent and weird, it made other dragons very on-edge and fearful. Either they would run away or attack her, she tries to avoid fights though she could handel herself in a fight. She landed on her hind legs, her wings tucked to the side of her body, she fell onto her fours and prowled deeper into the nest, the wild dragons watching her from shadows.
Fear
The emotion raced violently through his mind, head swinging up towards the otherwise silent entrance to the nest. Pupils narrowing out to slivers in suspicion. Quietly crooning to try and get the mothers to conceal their offspring, feeling small talons remove themselves from resting on his tusk, a glance over confirming the suspicion that yes, the Scuttleclaw had skittered off to play with its siblings.
Show Yourself.
The Bewilderbeast hauled himself to his feet, feeling the uncertainty thrum through the nest like a heart beast as he peered up at the entrance to the nest, watching in worry as dragons shot through, their fear filling his senses for a few moments before a low rumble in his throat eased the screams and shrieks, flashes of color and scales darted past his face, settling into their hiding places to watch anxiously.
Claws shifting against his stone slab, he felt the strange dragon prowling closer, he knew very well the limits of his mental hold, while rarely used, (only to calm panicking dragons upon freedom from their bonds,) it would have little effect if another, alpha species was nearby. Especially if it happened to be the alpha of this particular dragon.
Wings trembled at his sides, sending the few remaining bits of water flying from pristine white scales, clouds of frost beginning to drift from the corners of his mouth before he allowed the growl to rise in his throat.
I can sense you. Why are you here?
{Sorry I haven’t been on today; I’ve just been really exhausted for some reason lately, so I will get the replies I need to done tomorrow, but for now I’m having a hard enough time keeping my eyes open as it is; So yeah, Good night for now.}
hybriidizedmutant | Starter Call
Steady was his breathing, the great figure on the edge of consciousness as the tendrils of slumber continued to snake around his mind, slowly easing the king towards rest. With the animated chatter of other dragons soaring over his head and throughout the nest, the occasional squack of a mother trying to wrangle her unruly offspring that listened to nobody, even him. His nerves were calmed, his flock was safe, happy, and the babies were hopping around on his face like they hadn't a care in the world.
All at once, his delicate senses flared to life, something was approaching the nest. Now fully out of his brief state of relaxation, the bewilderbeast blew a small cloud of mist to get the hatchlings away from his face, away from his tusks, before he swung his head around, cerulean gaze ghosting over the various entrances through the nest for the dragons of the flock, if they decided to head off on a flight, or accompanied the woman, Valka to search for others, harmed, flockless members who needed tending to.
A quick glance, and he quickly located the Stormcutter, hanging neatly from the ceiling with the viking that he suppressed a growl. Something wasn't brought with them, it set his nerves on edge. His senses were swarmed with various dragon scents, intermingled into one that only made his task of seeming relaxed all the harder. While he wouldn't have blinked an eye at most of them, the scent that set him on edge the most...
Was the scent of another bewilderbeast.
Jaws parted ever so slightly to allow a plume of frost to form in front of his mist, feeling stray gazes move to him, a small chatter in the back of his mind bringing the Gentle Giants attention to the foremost entrance, one he'd forgotten existed with a low rumble. If this other dragon wanted his flock, he'd fight. He wasn't going to simply hand it over.
For a moment, the Bewilderbeast debated diving into the water, to leave the safety of the nest to confront the possible threat himself, before simply pausing. He could hear wingbeats, He knew from experience that the bewilderbeasts as a whole species, were far too heavy to use their 'wings' as most dragon species would, resorting to taking to the sea like great leviathans.
Still, the scent approached, but only one dragon was nearing, one whose scent was intermingled with various species. While his suspicions still remained in his mind, he wouldn't set off his flock without good reason, the thought forcing his body to ease back onto the slab of stone he'd been standing on, barely teetering towards the water in uncertainty.
Let them come, he wouldn't turn away an injured dragon, if that's what they were here for. If he did, what sort of protector would he be?
{Thought I should warn; My ask box has been wonky since this morning, so if you sent a message and I haven’t answered, then odds are tumblr (apparently being staring) devoured the ask. I apologize.
{And, since I’ve got nothing to reply to, (that I know of at least,) would anyone be wanting to start some form of interaction with this... (I still have no idea what to refer to him as-) giant... dork of a dragon?
anthrohic
The night fury couldn’t help but jump (mostly flinch) when he saw the much larger dragon move, at first thinking that he had done something to offend the other.
He’d been conditioned to react to situations in which he’d been taunted and teased and played with like a harp… he couldn’t count how many times he’d been offered a source of comfort and had it torn away mere moments late. Sometimes the mistress would have been much more lenient and let him indulge for a few minutes but it never lasted long. They had wanted him to suffer, they had wanted him to break.
The mistress wasn’t very patient.
The dragon morph was snapped out of his musing when he heard the sound of pounding waves grow louder. It surprised him to see that it was the King dragon who was stumbling towards him (when had he gone away?), seeming somewhat awkward with his large body. The smaller of the two tilted his head curiously, suddenly intrigued.
The alpha didn’t seem to know how to move his body. Was he still growing?
The idea that the dragon may be much younger than Hiccup had originally thought appealed to him for some reason. Perhaps it was simply the intimidation factor?
The night fury continued to watch, curiously, as the other grew closer. He ducked into himself as the other open his mouth to deposit a relatively large portion of fish a few feet away from him.
Hiccup balked and stared at the pile, even when it was nudged in his direction, clearly meaning that it was for him.
W-was this a peace offering of some sort? Why was the dragon being so… nice to him?
And suddenly his eyes widened and his ears flattened against his skull as he was hit by a wave ofshame.
He had been comparing dragons to human greed and human sin.
Dragons… had never actually hurt him. They had… they had shot at him, yes, they had caused him injury, yes, but in the long run… they had done nothing to deserve his transgression.
But even knowing all that the jet-black dragon found it hard to let go of the distrust ingrained deep into his bones. Because what if he was wrong? What if things went bad? What if…
There were a lot of ‘what ifs’ and Hiccup was just so scared.
Hiccup looked to the sides and couldn’t help but watch in jealously as dragons of all kinds interacted with each other and flew with ease, no sign of aggression that typically followed a defensive and cornered creature.
Periwinkle eyes looked back down at fish and willed for the calm that the large creature had initially placed in him. He carefully crawled back to the pile of fish and continued to eat, but this time much slower.
His ear’s twitched as he heard a loud croon come from above and looked up momentarily to see that the other seemed… a bit agitated, almost concerned.
The dragon morph tilted his head in confusion before cringing as the pain in his wing spiked (he’d moved the wrong way). It really wasn’t a good idea to ignore such a serious injury. If he left it untreated it may heal the wrong way and then he’d be…
Hiccup gave a full body shiver at the thought. No. No, that would not happen.
However, there was one problem with the current situation. In his current state (with paws and no actual opposable thumbs) he wouldn’t be able to set his wing straight or to bandage it so that would mean that he’d have to–
SHIFT
The boy stiffened at the thought of turning back into human form, if only half way. What would the alpha think of him? Would he despise him? Not to mention that his human form… it brought back bad memories but did he have a choice?
Shifting ever so slightly to be more balanced on his hip than anything, the bewilderbeast simply observed the Night Fury Morph, tilting his head this way and that rather frequently out of curiosity as the dragon moved. For a moment, he debated if he could even get his tail onto the ledge to bring dragon(and fish) down to the water.
Deciding to test his curiosity, the dragon flicked his tail against the water a couple of times, hopefully letting the injured drake know what he was doing, so he wouldn't spook them before attempting to place the frilled appendage on a portion of the ledge, only able to get to the one just under it before it grew uncomfortable to move. Resulting in a slightly disappointed sigh as his tail slid back to the ground. slapping nosily against front limbs and coiling around his leg.
Noticing the curious look from the smaller dragon, he tilted his head to the opposite side, looking between the fish and the morph once again, hoping to get his point across. Only letting out a pleased plume of frost when they started to eat, the wings, (which would be more accurate to describe as fins due to his size and inability to fly,) lifted from his sides, wiggling childishly before he heaved himself to his feet. An idea refusing to leave his head.
Glancing once more at the Night Fury, he carefully attempted to make a series of short ramps, connecting each ledge together and to the ground, in case the obsidian scaled dragon decided that they'd be more comfortable near the warmth of the spring water.
Deciding it would be best to try and explain what the newly constructed ice slides were for, the bewilderbeast gently laid a tusk against the one closest to the night fury, crooning softly to grab their attention.
its for sliding!
If the careful movements of his head and tusk were anything to go by, it was like he was a toddler trying their best not to break their new toy. Complete with the Childish gleam showing in cerulean eyes, another plume of frost leaving his maw to paint the green grass faintly white.
anthrohic
The dragon limped forward (so obviously more than his wings were damaged), and let out a breathe as he felt his scaled paws touch the grass.
While he was still slightly disoriented it didn’t stop him from trying to take account of his surroundings. It took him mere seconds to realize that the ice was indeed localized and that there was much more than the ice.
A nest… Hiccup suddenly realized that this was indeed a nest. A small one but there was no doubt in his mind that he had woken to either a safe haven or the devil’s trap.
It was big so very big. Compared to the Red Deaths (whom he had so fondly named) volcano… they were two different worlds.
The dragon was startled when he heard something that disrupted the peaceful serenity that surrounded the nest. The morph’s pupils constricted and his frills flared to outwards in a threat display at the break of the tranquility.
The night furies ears twitched as he heard the tell tale cracking of ice (something was close by). He jumped slightly and lay completely flat on the ground, instinct dictating his actions (telling him to hide hide hide).
However, it was only when he tilted his head up did he spot the one responsible for the previous action. The defensive position he had taken fell apart almost instantly when he saw something he hadn’t expected to see.
The queens he had encountered were big, he’d give them that, but this? This was by far no queen.
The creature, while indeed large, seemed almost pure with it’s base pallet being a pristine snow white. The spikes that seemed to sprout from the beast created a silhouette that seemed to flow with the dragon and then there were the tusks–!
Hiccup’s defenses were in complete shambles after the shocking reveal but instead of fear he couldn’t help but feel a sense of peace fall over him as the dragon came closer.
The dragon morph responded to the croon with his own. His tail swayed behind him, giving off the happiness that the visibly gentle giant gave him. But for some reason… he couldn’t seem to meet the other’s eyes. Every time he tried something inside himself forced Hiccup to look back down.
It was mere seconds later that the young dragon noticed the fish. His frills lifted as another croon left his throat. He looked up at the large dragon once more before looking back down at the fish. He took small steps towards the pile, looking up a few times to make sure that the Queen (no, the dragon was male, it was a King) was accepting of his actions. The steps themselves weren’t easy. His muscles ached (he’d been flying for so long… nearly an entire day and night) and his stomach was making itself known as the smell of raw fish reached his nostrils.
Once he reached the pile it didn’t take long for him to start gulping down the food. He ate fast, glancing up at the other dragon every few fish, watching to see if the other changed his mind or to see if he had displeased him in any other way. He couldn’t help the stray thoughts that went through him.
To think I looked at Toothless weird for eating raw fish. A dragon’s taste buds are… different.
The pain… really was starting to get worse. His paws were torn up and his wing lay limp right next to him. Whenever he tried to move it a spike of pain would shoot through him and discourage any further actions. The night fury sighed as he went about licking at his wounds once he had taken his fill of fish, not wanting to take too much (he didn’t want the King to think he was being greedy or would be a problem).
He made no move to get closer to the small dragon as they looked at the ground, his head tilting just a smidge to the side at the Night Fury's inability to look him in the eye, not that he minded of course.
A flick of his tail sent small waves of water splashing against the lower shores, taking a few steps back to free his tusks from the confines of the ice as the Night Fury ate, though for some reason glancing over at him consistantly through the pile of fish. The hurried pace was concerning, were they afraid? Another croon left his throat, to try and ease the dragon morph. At least before his attention moved back to the fish pile, only a couple of fish remained, bringing him to wonder. Did they not like those types of fish?
Slowly stepping away from the injured morph, the gentle giant sank back into the warmth of the springs, drifting over towards the waterfall that he often had at his back. Ignoring the lack of visibility for a few moments as he stuck his head through the stream, simply grabbing another, small mouthfull of fish to bring back to the injured night fury.
Returning to the ledge with about as much grace as a newly hatched dragon, the Bewilderbeast carefully placed front limbs on the protruding stone and ice, only once he was certain there were no dragons nearby to possibily be harmed as he dropped what he'd brough with him on the ledge. Gingerly nudging the pile closer towards the dragon with his tusk. Which required an awkward angle of his head, a single cerulean eye visible to make sure he didn't harm the already injured drake.
Drawing away once more, the Bewilderbeast practically sat back on his haunches, having scooted onto the shore enough to where only his tail remained in the shore. He wanted to be certain that this dragon was going to be alright before he returned to his slab of stone. But even then he'd still keep an eye on them.
It was then he noticed how the dragon's right wing lay limp at its side, a worried rumble rising in his throat at the side of it before he started looking around, uncertain of what to do for wing injures, taking care of where his tusks swung to keep from damaging the confines of the nest.
{.... I think my sister forgot to log me off of the other computer... Im sorry for the body builder;}
frigidalpha
Waking up was… disorienting. His limbs felt heavy and completely limp, his wings were… he couldn’t feel his wings.
The male’s eyes snapped open and the loud, distressed cry that was supposed to leave his throat cut off short, making it sound almost like he was choking. He cringed, his body twitching slightly as his mind continued to inch closer and closer to full awareness.
The dragon morph began breathing heavily as he found that he was in pain. Had he–had he crashed? Was that what had happened?
Last thing that he remembered was flying through the channel when–
Oh… oh. That’s right he had been attacked by a Tidal class dragon. What was it again… oh, a Scauldron.
Stupid idiotic thordriven slugea–
Hiccup (yes puny tiny Hiccup) growled menacingly as he cursed the Scauldron (who was long gone by now) for downing him. The night fury was starting to feel the place where he’d been successfully hit and then there was also the fact that he still couldn’t feel his right wing (never a good sign)!
He let out an echoed sigh as he pushed himself back up on his limbs, arching his back momentarily, before letting out a distressed cry when he found himself slipping. His claws stabilized him for a moment before Hiccup was finally able to shift his feet into a more stable position.
His body temperature hadn’t allowed him to feel it at first but it finally registered in his brain that he was indeed surrounded by ice.
The first frost hadn’t even set in yet what in the world–?
Quiet breaths were the only sounds from the giant as the warmth of the springs' waters lapped at his wings, small tatters in the membranes just near the edges barely visible upon first glance as his tusks stirred the water to life, cerulean eyes cracking open at the sound of a choking, distressed cry. Head swinging up from the water with a low croon, hoping to ease the dragon's distress as he flicked his wings against the water, propelling himself forward just enough to haul his figure close to the edge of the spring.
Easing tusks onto sturdy shards of ice, the Bewilderbeast blew a small plume of mist, watching the frost spread across the grass it touched. Searching for the Injured dragon he'd found on his way back from fishing, narrowed pupils rounding out slowly as he spotted the obsidian form, where its claws had sank into the ice to keep its body steady.
Moving his head, the Bewilderbeast felt the ice tremble lightly as tusks knocked into the shards, annoucning his presence to the dragon morph before his attention slowly shifted to the pile of fish laying just a few feet from the injured dragon. He'd separated it from the rest of the fish in case they were hungry when they stirred.
Turning his gaze back to the small dragon, a questioning rumble rose in his throat, how were they feeling? Would they prefer to be near the spring instead of higher in the air among the ice? Were they hungry? How was their wing? He'd seen them crash before the scauldron had rushed away from the black dragon when he'd gone to investigate.
Though the question he found most important, was would they be able to fly? If they couldn't, they'd be more than welcomed to stay in the nest as long as they wanted, (actually he'd allow it anyway. He didn't mind when dragons dropped by.) To what extent was the wing injured? In all honesty, he wasn't even sure if the Night Fury could tell where they were.
{Loud bewilderbeast noises at internet.}
Hiccup insisted he go with Toothless alone to the island to check back on the Bewilderbeast. There was so much left to do on Berk after Drago’s attack that the brunet was afraid he wasn’t going to be able to make it back to check on the large ice beast before it was too late.
Toothless was obviously worried himself, so as soon as his rider clicked in, they were off, and as soon as the great alpha was in sight, the Night Fury’s demeanor changed into that of relief. He could sense that the other dragon was alright, and a quick quip was enough to let Hiccup know of his findings. Not only that, the two of them took in the sight of the half rebuilt nest, sure that the Bewilderbeast was going to want his family back.
Landing near the other, the black dragon let out a vaguely distressed warble, wondering how his large friend was doing after such a terrible attack. He was glad he was able to rid the white dragon of his predicament, but at the same time he couldn’t stress enough how worried he was for the other.
Quickly Toothless was back in the air to fly closer, landing closer to the edge of the spring to offer the wounded king a bow, eyes flickering to the ground for a couple beats before he crooned. Was the Bewilderbeast alright? Was he going to be alright? He wasn’t going to die… right?
The Night Fury's bow was met with a soft hum of acknowledgement, slowly sinking back onto his stomach as his muscles reminded him why he'd been laying down in the first place. Being careful to position his tusks around the black scaled dragon and his human companion, to prevent from accidentally harming either of them. The slight dip of his head at this point may have been his attempt to bow back, though it did little to disguise the annoyed throbbing from twin wounds.
The distressed warble was enough to bring the Gentle alpha's attention back to the duo, away from his thoughts of whether he should offer them fish, considering his previous trip fishing had once again, ended up with him bringing back too much fish than he cared to eat these days. And for a moment, he didn't understand why the small alpha was so worried. At least before he remembered what was around him, and the actions that had happened.
With a noise akin to a loud sigh, the bewilderbeast simply swept his tail around, the frilled appendage gently nudging at the duo to climb onto his tusks. It simply wasn't being a good host if he had them sitting outside where the cold air could tear a viking apart if left alone too long, when he had a perfectly good hotspring just sitting in front of him.
Withdrawing his tail, the Bewilderbeast directed his attention to the shattered beams of ice. Momentarily looking over each to see which one he would have to repair first to prevent them from spiralling down like some death trap. Though returning his gaze to the dragon, and viking pair. He simply offered another plume of mist in their direction. A silent warning for the nightfury to stop being so worried about him. He wasn't some hatchling that needed to be fretted over, as much as the sentiment was appreciated.
