Of Cabbages and Kings

by Haru69

Its been six years since Hiccup left Berk and things have been peaceful. But black clouds loom over the horizon, and war has come to the lands. Two armies have risen and Hiccup has landed himself right in the center of the conflict. Can Hiccup and Toothless survive? RATING MAY CHANGE. (Hiccup/OMC.) Ver. 2.0 will either be Astrid or OFC pairing. If you want one or another tell me.

Black smoke rose up in thick waves to the sky, choking out the sun and turning the clouds gray. What remained of the once small village was the charred remains of the houses and the people. Hiccups lips were pressed into a thin white line as he took in the grim sight, a gust of wind and part of a charred house fell. Toothless landed near silent beside him,

"Y-you humans. N-n-ot even the w-welps were sp-spared."

"Toothless," Hiccup greeted, "have you seen anything in the sky?"

The dragon growled, pawing at the ash covered ground. "Yesss, a l-large nest o-of them, t-t-to the n-north. They d-drag the surviving fe-females a-and w-welps in m-metal ca-ages. T-the m-males are m-made to w-walk. M-more m-metal a-around t-the n-ne-necks a-and h-hands."

Hiccup hissed in anger. They were in the upper sections of E`ei , a harsh desert country that has little plants and less water. Putting people in metal cages and bindings, they would be bruned alive.

"How far north are they?" Hiccup asked with urgencey, if they weren't too far, mabey he coud just...

Toothless gave a sharp smile. " A-about sss-ix t-tails i-into the s-ssands."

Hiccup tilted his head, caculating the distance and time it would talke to catch up to the group, asuming that they weren't traveling all that quickly. A bloood thirsty grin spread across his face.

"How about we go hunting, my friend."

Toothless growled in approval.

Jumping on to the saddle Hiccup gripped the hard leather as Toothless took to the sky with a hunting cry. This had been the fourth village to be burnt to the ground this month alone, and Hiccup still had no idea why. The only thing that connected them was what happened to the people after. The men were eather sold into slavery or used for food for the dragons that destroyed the village. The woman had the same fate, but, not before the men had some... fun. Hiccup still did not know what happened to the whelps they captured, and a part of him didnt want to find out. The, killings, had started two summers ago and at first it had just been a village here and they. Which in all honesty wasnt that big, but then the killings speed up. Four to ten villages in a month alone, that kind of destruction only happened in wars. And no countries were waring with each other. And even if they were, the killings were spread out over serval different countries. No one country or kingdom was targeted.

It was baffling.

Hiccup was determined to find out why.
