We open to a shot of a terrible stormy night within an unknown forest, lightning was flashing over the night sky, and thunder roaring over the sky, wind was blowing at a high speed, making some tree's struggle to keep standing, or even keep their limbs, but as the hour passed, it only got worse from here.

But through the stormy sky, a large creature was seen flying through it, trying to push through the storm in anyway it could, it had black scales all over it's body, large wings with tail fins attached to a long tail, and the creature had green eyes as it soared through the night sky.

It was trying it's best to push through the horrible storm it got caught in, all it was doing hours ago was trying to find a place to live with all the danger that lurks around this world, there was far more creatures like him out there, but he was still a feared one to most beasts around.

He was known as a Night Fury, a very rare Dragon of this world, one that is known as the unholy offspring, of lightning and death itself, one of the strongest dragons out there when it goes out to hunt, or defend itself against other larger dragons.

But this dragon had been surviving a life on it's own for years without proper parents, he never had a proper childhood, and often grew up trying to hunt and live in safe places that wouldn't get him killed, but every now and then he would have to leave a place he grew comfortable with, either because he would be too big to live there anymore, or because another dangerous creature would try to take it over, and he didn't wanna risk losing his life because of something like that.

He had been on his own for over a decade at this point, never really finding a proper nest to stay in with other dragons, or having a place to stay for very long, but despite how cruel and tough his life was, he did his best to push on, and try to find a place to really call a home.

But this storm wasn't making it easy, it got harder and harder for him to fly through by the second, the wind almost making it impossible for him to properly turn unless he would get struck by the lightning, and it made the dragon growl as he had no choice but to find somewhere to hide.

The Dragon used it's strength and pushed through the heavy winds around it, lightning flashing over it as the moon was briefly seen over it, even in the stormy sky, it roared as it dove directly down to the forest below, making it's presence known throughout the forest, it swooped down through the trees and flew over them as thunder kept making more noise throughout the land it was on.

The Dragon found itself upon a large island that looked uninhabited from what he sees so far, but he shouldn't let his guard down as he had just arrived here, and doesn't know what dangers lurk here. It started to fly lower to the trees and making it's way through the forest, looking for any safe place to wait out this night.

But it was hard for it to find anything, and it growled in frustration from not finding something that could protect it, he didn't intend to get caught up in this storm, but he always has to keep on flying no matter where he goes, and with that, comes risks of wherever it goes.

But as it was searching over the area for any place it could spend the night in, luckily for it, he saw a cave within a cliffside not too far ahead of it, it was nearby a waterfall with a large pond within the center, and it looked like a place it could recover in if it can wait out till tomorrow morning.
"That could be a good place to stay for the night.." The dragon thought to itself as it flew towards the cave as the lightning flashed again, and thunder was heard even more as it landed near the entrance.

The Night Fury kept it's guard up and looked around for any creatures that could be near, but it didn't hear anything as of right now, and it made it sigh a bit knowing it could be safe right now.
"Finally.. all that flying was exhausting.." The Dragon said within it's mind as it headed into the cave. It shot a bit of fire from it's mouth to try and illuminate it a bit, and luckily it seemed to be in a crystal cave where the lights illuminated the place for him, dozens of colorful gems all over the walls and ceilings made it a sight to behold, and the dragon was in awe with what it was seeing.

"This is.. beautiful.." It thought with amazement as it looked around the place, it didn't sense any other creatures within it right now, and other then the sounds of the storm still going on outside, this place was really quiet for what it's seeing, and it just felt relief knowing it's in a safe place for now.

"At least I'll get a nice night's of sleep here.." He said to himself as he walked deeper into the cave, trying to get a good distance away from the cold wind still blowing inside from it's entrance, the dragon walked deeper and deeper into the cave, seeing more of the crystals shine on the walls and give it any form of light that made it easier to see through it.

"After all that flying.. it's nice to finally see a place that's really nice.. I'm never in one place for long.. but hopefully I'll stay here longer then I usually do for other places I try to live in.." The Dragon said in it's mind as it finally came upon a warmer part of the cave from before, it seemed to be within a hot spring part of the cave which made this place even better for it.

"I really struck my luck this night.. thank goodness for that.." It thought to itself as it looked around for a part to lay down, it looked like it could be a nice place for it to stay for tonight now that it's seen more of the cave, it didn't see any more tunnels within it so far, and with the lights that were given by the cave, it really made him feel safe here, something he rarely feels when he's out on his own.

The Dragon tried looking around to plan things out, if this place is a safe place it could stay for a while, it needed to plan out how it's gonna live here, if there will be enough food supplies of fish or any other meat it could get from hunts outside of the cave and through the forest, and if there are any risks of other dragons coming here, but after a bit of searching around, it found no signs of an enemy here, which made it feel relieved thinking it's fully safe here.

"Finally.. I can get some rest.." The dragon said with relief as it tried to find a comfortable place to sleep, it didn't really know what to call itself since it never had proper parents from what he remembers, and he didn't really have a name because of it. But maybe one day he'll find a name that suits him.

But as the dragon tried to find a way to sleep, it could only look down sadly as it reflected on it's life, looking at it's reflection through the waters, it only saw itself, someone who's lived a lonely life without anyone with him, always fighting for his life, and never really finding that much else to do.

He wondered if he ever even had a family after he was born, or where they even are now. He often wonders if they're still alive, searching for him, and trying to help him see there's more Night Fury's like him out there, because with what he knows, he may be the only one of his kind, no matter where he's flown, how many lands or dragons he's seen, he never saw any other Night Fury's like him, and it made him a bit depressed knowing it.

"Am I really gonna have to keep doing this for the rest of my life? Or is there ever gonna be something out there for me? That will give me a real home and family?" He asked himself as he looked around the cave.

After another sigh knowing it's really late at this point, it tried curling around itself to properly sleep, but the sound of something falling nearby made it's ears perk up, and it quickly jumped up and kept up it's guard thinking it was a threat.

"Who's there?!" The Night Fury asked with anger as it looked around the cave, but too it's confusion, it didn't see any other dragons or something that might've entered the cave, and it left it confused on what that noise was.

"What.. was that?" The dragon thought as it looked around the cave for anything, but the more it looked around the ground, it couldn't see anything yet, but as it looked towards the very corner of the cave, one that was barely illuminated by a crystal on the ceiling... it started to see something.

"What?" The dragon asked as it slowly marched up to it, thinking it was a possible creature or something.. but as it finally got a closer look at it.. it was in complete shock of what it's seeing.

At the corner of this cave.. sat a lonely egg that was completely by itself, there were no signs of a parent around to keep it safe, and it didn't look cracked or damaged in anyway.. it looked like.. it was abandoned here..

"What is this doing here?" He asked as he looked at it a bit closer, and as it inspected it, it noticed it's color and size, it was pretty small compared to most dragon eggs, it had a purple color with darker purple spots around it, it wasn't like any other egg it saw before, and from the looks of it, it looks like a dragon egg.

But the Night Fury was really confused on why the heck it was even here, was it's parents still out there and trying to make it home? Or was it left here on purpose? Who would do it? Why.. and how? It had so many questions going through it's mind right now, and what made it upsetting is that there may be no way to answer it, and it was just left wondering what it should do.

"What do I do? Is there a parent out there looking for it? Why is it left alone, without anything protecting it?" He asked himself as he gently took the egg in one of it's claws, inspecting all around it, not seeing any damage or cracks on it which was good, and it didn't feel too cold either surprisingly, and it had a feeling it had the chance to hatch still.

As the dragon looked closer at it, it felt a strange connection to it.. it being left alone here.. without anyone to keep him safe, or anything to help it.. it made it feel the same thing's it's felt for most of it's life, and if it was left alone here.. maybe he could take care of it..

The dragon looked around the cave one more time to make sure nothing was here, only hearing more thunder far outside the area he's in near the entrance, he may need to seal that up with a boulder or something sometime soon so nothing sneaks in, but for now, it looked safe for tonight.

As it felt relieved knowing it's safe, it looked back down at the egg, it felt a smile form on it's face, and really took a liking to it, even though he hasn't seen the hatchling to come from it, it wanted to at least take care of it until it did.
"If there's nothing here to take care of you.. I'll do it myself.. I don't want another hatchling to go through what I have all these years.." He thought to himself as he went to the center of the room.

It felt really tired still after this whole night, and upon finding an egg and a hatchling it could possibly raise, he just wanted to take some rest and see what he could do about it at another point. After making a bit of a yawn from feeling tired, the Night Fury shot some fire on the ground and circled around itself to keep itself, and the egg warm for the night, it was something he liked to do that helped him sleep better, and he hoped it doesn't harm the egg in the process.

After curling around itself and covering up the egg with it's wings, the Night Fury felt itself starting to fall asleep finally, feeling a sense of joy knowing it's found something that could change his life for the better.
"Whenever you hatch little one.. just know I'll keep you safe.. I've had to push through a harsh life for so many years, and hopefully with you.. it'll finally get better." The dragon prayed as it finally fell asleep with a smile, holding the egg close to it as it slept the night away, feeling happy that it may have a new home.

The sun finally begins to rise over the horizon on a early morning within the same forest the Night Fury found itself in, the storm had finally passed, and the sky was clear and looked like it would be a great day today, animals started to come out of their little homes to begin they're day, and it looked like nothing was going wrong here.

The sun soon shone into the cave the Night Fury slept in, even reaching deep down to where it was sleeping, parts of the cave still had some cracks that helped the light shine through, and upon feeling the light hit it's face, the dragon groaned a bit feeling itself wake up.
"Morning already?" The dragon asked himself as he lightly opened his eyes, finding himself within the same cave it found last night, and it felt a sense of relief knowing it's still here, at least getting a good rest after that rough storm it tried going through.

"At least it looks like it'll be nice today.." He thought to himself as he made a loud yawn, barely moving as it tried getting up, hoping nothing happened to the egg it found last night. But upon feeling something squirm right beneath it, it instantly woke up upon feeling it.

"What the?!" He asked with shock as he felt himself jumping upon feeling something move beneath him again, but as he opened up it's wings to see if the egg was still safe.. he saw something truly special happened.

The egg hatched over night.. or just a bit ago depending on what he's seeing now, the Night Fury saw a little adorable hatchling curled up around the shells it had, the dragon having purple scales with a green spine, a slightly sharp tail from it's back, and as it felt itself waking up, he saw green pupils on it's eyes, making a tired little yawn as it finally woke up.

He'd never seen a dragon like this before, even though he looks like him in areas, it still looked extremely unique compared to other dragons he's encountered, and he could only smile as he saw the hatchling finally be born into the world.

He slowly went back up to the little guy, gently moving it's claw to it and picking it up easily, it was really small, but was super adorable at the same time. He felt relieved knowing the little guy hatched over night, meaning he wouldn't have to worry if it would risk being broken when he's out there, and as the hatchling opened it's eyes, it saw him looking right at him as the rays of the sun shone over them both, giving them both a clear view of eachother.

The hatchling looked at the dragon for a few seconds, before it felt started to smile at the large Night Fury in front of it, thinking it was it's daddy. The hatchling made a couple coos as it tried moving it's little claw to his head, and the Night Fury only leaned down to it and let it touch it, feeling a warmth from it which made both of them really happy.

Even if the Night Fury was still left confused on why this child was left here, alone, he could only feel happiness at this moment, it was something he hasn't felt in a very long time, and he didn't wanna let this little guy go.
"Hello little one.. it's so nice to meet you.." He said with a smile as the hatchling laughed a bit and suddenly shot a bit of fire from it's mouth, the dragon nearly missed it, but to it's surprise, it had a mix in of green fire, and blue and purple color's that was extremely different, he felt something off about it, but he just didn't know what yet.

The Night Fury turned back to the hatchling with a surprised look, the child was still playfully laughing a bit and the Night Fury smiled again seeing how innocent he looked, but as he thought about it, he needed to give the child a name to call him, while he doesn't have a name himself yet, he should at least give it a name to make it easier for him.

After looking a bit closer at it's features, it's sharp green spikes on it's back gave it a simple yet clever name for it, and it may suit perfectly for it.
"How about I call you Spike? That work for you little one?" He asked as he put the child on it's head so they could go outside for a bit, and the child cooed in a happy way thinking it was a good name, and the Night Fury chuckled a bit himself hearing that.

"Then Spike it is.. " He declared as he carefully carried the hatchling through the cave, it being amazed with the colorful crystals around it, and the Night Fury himself felt happy at the sight, and felt like this was a really good place that could be a home for the both of them.

But after a bit of walking, he finally went outside through the entrance he came in, and from that moment, they were greeted with a beautiful sunrise, they could see parts of the sea far off in the distance, the same large pond with the waterfall on the cliffside was just near the cave, making it a nice place for possible playtime, and far within the sky, they could see a few dragons flying over the sky's, minding they're own business, and staying far away from this place.

The Night Fury felt so much joy seeing such a beautiful sight, and with this new child of his besides him, it made it even better. While he hoped he could find it's parents one day, for now, he should try and raise him like his own, even if he didn't know much about it yet, he was looking forward to what the future held for them..
"Welcome to the world.. son.." He declared as he took the little dragon and snuggled it's head a bit which made it laugh in a happy way, and the two of them looked over the view with smiles, feeling really happy on this great morning, while there was still much to learn within the future, for now, they just took in this moment, and hoped this was a sign of things to come..

Author's Note

Thanks for reading this everyone! I hope this was a good first chapter for my How To Train Your Dragon story, this story will cover Spike going through the series alongside Hiccup and the rest of the cast, being raised under Toothless who will grow to be a father for him throughout the story.

I know this chapter seemed a bit basic in some areas, but I wanted to do a decent job at least with setting up how I'm gonna handle these first few chapters at least, I won't have Toothless speak too much after this when we get to the movies though , Spike will be the only one who could understand him, but even then, he'll be silent like in the series, with Spike understanding what he says, and having fun interactions with him and the cast.

Right now I don't have ideas to put in the main 6 or stuff from Equestria in the story at the moment. because I wanna try focusing on a version of Spike who grew up without them, and how his life would be different because of it. But I may add in hints of Equestria and help set up more of where Spike came from, maybe when I'm done with the 3rd movie, I could make a sequel story focusing on Spike and the cast reuniting, and trying to figure out where Spike came from, but that could be a long time from now.

I may cover the Tv shows and will help set up more about Spike and what makes him special in this story, I'll give him more connections to Toothless later on that feels like a good father/ son relationship, and I'm hoping to hear from you guys if you have ideas on what I can do for the story, please let me know!

I've been thinking about a story like this for a while, and now that I've got enough experience, I'm confident I can make something good from this hopefully, I'll try doing my best with the series and make this story stand out to you guys, but with all that said, I hope this was a good first chapter for you guys, and you look forward to more of it!
