Y/n soared through the glittering, gem-encrusted caverns of the Hidden World, her massive, crimson-scaled body cutting effortlessly through the warm, luminescent air. As the queen of this realm, her presence commanded respect and fear in equal measure. Her sharp, intelligent gaze swept over the landscape, searching relentlessly for any sign of her mate, the legendary Night Fury known as Toothless.

Soon, she spotted him down below, conversing casually with the smaller dragon Stormfly and the graceful Light Fury, Luna. Y/n's eyes narrowed as she noted their relaxed postures - how dare they be so laidback when she had summoned Toothless for an important meeting? With a thunderous roar that echoed through the cavernous halls, the gigantic red drake descended, her wings casting dramatic shadows over the gathered dragons.

"Toothless," Y/n growled, her voice a deep, rumbling baritone that reverberated off the crystalline walls. "I have been searching for you." She fixed him with a piercing stare, her molten gold eyes boring into him. "You know better than to keep me waiting."

Toothless, despite his own impressive size and status, visibly shrunk under Y/n's domineering presence. "Forgive me, my queen," he said hastily, dipping his head in submission. "I became distracted and lost track of time." He glanced up at her, his expression one of nervous appeasement.

Y/n huffed, a plume of smoke curling from her nostrils. "See that it does not happen again," she warned, before turning her attention to the other dragons. "Leave us," she commanded, her tone brooking no argument.

As Stormfly and Luna quickly departed, Y/n fixed Toothless with an imperious stare. "Now, my love, what is it you wished to discuss?"

Y/n sighed, her eyes softening as she leaned in to nuzzle Toothless' head. "I'm leaving the Hidden World," she said quietly.

Toothless stared at her in disbelief, his body going still. "What?" he asked, his voice filled with confusion and worry. "Why? Did I... did I do something wrong?" His wings fluttered nervously, and his gaze searched hers for answers, feeling a sudden pang of uncertainty.

The mighty Queen shook her head slowly, reaching out with a massive, clawed foot to gently cup Toothless' chin. "No, my love," she rumbled, her tone gentle despite her imposing size. "You have done nothing wrong. This is my own decision."

Toothless whined softly, nuzzling into Y/n's touch. "But the Hidden World is our home. Our kingdom." His eyes were wide with distress. "Where will you go?"

Y/n pulled back slightly, fixing Toothless with a determined gaze. "There is unrest in the outer realms," she explained. "Rumors of growing human activity, threats to our kind. I must go and assess the situation myself."

She paused, her expression softening once more. "And I would have you come with me, Toothless. Rule at my side, as we have done here. Together, we can protect our kin and our way of life."

Toothless was silent for a long moment, processing her words. Then, slowly, a resolute light kindled in his eyes. "Then I will go with you," he said, his voice steady. "Where you go, I will follow. Always."

Y/n rumbled deep in her chest, a sound of approval and affection. Leaning in, she pressed her massive head against Toothless', their bond palpable in the charged air of the cavern. "Thank you, my love," she murmured. "We will face this challenge side by side."

With that, the two great dragons turned as one, ready to take wing and meet the threats that awaited them in the wider world.
