[The day had started out rather decently with surprisingly little hang ups, as days don't normally tend to go completely by without something hitting a snag. At least, that's how things had gone throughout Hiccup's lifetime. All he'd wanted to do was go for a short flight with Toothless, maybe circle the island a few times just to give him a chance to stretch his wings. It's not like he had anything particular he needed to get done today anyway.
Of course Berk and it's unpredictable weather decided today wasn't going to be a smooth day. THe wind picked up inexplicably when Hiccup steered Toothless out towards the sea. By the time he decided it might be best if they just turn back the clouds had gotten so dark and so thick around them that he could barely tell which way was up. Summer storms weren't all that uncommon, but this was more like a summer monsoon than anything else. So violent was the wind that it pushed Toothless further and further from the main island, leaving them unable to go in any direction but with the wind.
The storm carried on for what seemed like ages, until finally it hit a peak with the wind becoming so bad that it tore Toothless' prosthetic tail fin right off before he or Hiccup knew what was going on. Leaving the dragon unable to fly they plummeted from the sky, down to an island that luckily happened to be there. They landed hard on the shore, kicking up dirt and rocks in their wake. It was all Hiccup could do to hang on to the saddle until finally the force of the impact sent him hurtling over Toothless' head, sliding a few feet further on his side before they both finally came to a stop.
Though the landing had been admittedly rough, the sand was soft enough to keep them from getting hurt too badly. Not to say they wouldn't be feeling that in the morning, though.]
.....Aaaghhh....
...Bud? ...You alright?
