Chapter one: To Tartarus

Nine demigods shall answer the call,

To storm, fire, or night the world must fall,

Four misfits trapped in eternal night,

Shall once again return to the light,

An oath to keep the final breath,

And foes bear arms to the doors of death


They had done it. They had slain the Dragon Queen.

Unfortunately, to Hiccup's luck, Toothless' prosthetic tail fin burned in the Queen's breath, and now they were falling, falling to a fiery demise.

"Hiccup!" the chief kept calling. "Son." Then he saw something, "Hiccup." He ran over to see a pile of golden dust surrounding a skeleton. A small skeleton. In its hands was a green orb with a black slit in the middle.

"No, NOOOOOOOOOooooo!" The poor chief wailed. His wife was taken from him, now his son, his only son, had fallen.


Hiccup found himself in a strange place. He was in a cave with a large number of other people. But for some creepy reason, he could see right through all of them. When he looked at himself, he was surprised that he, too, was transparent. He reached for his pocket, and to his surprise; he found an extra-large bag full of golden coins. Each with the word Drachma on them. Hiccup then remembered from a conversation with Trader Johan, well more him babbling on about his adventures and me within hearing distance, that this was Greek money. Hiccup guessed that the amount in the bag was a small fortune. Hiccup hooked around the room and saw a desk. Hiccup then walked up to said desk.

"Excuse me sir, where am I?" Hiccup asked trying to look up at the person behind the desk.

"Why my boy, this is the path to the Underworld," the man said. "Shouldn't you know that? I mean you're dead. Look at you."

"Wait, I'm DEAD?!" Hiccup was aghast at this news.

"Yup," the man said as though he heard the question every day, which he probably did.

"Another question, where do dragons go after they die?" Hiccup asked surprising the man.

"They, like all the other foul monsters, go to Tartarus where they belong." The man spat the sentence with anger.

"Well, how much for a trip to Tartarus?" Hiccup asked causing everyone in the room to look at him.

"You'd have to be crazy to go there!" the man at the desk yelled in a firm voice.

"Call me crazy then. My best friend is down there!" Hiccup yelled back.

(Sigh) "Very well, I will have to talk to Hades first to get his approval for you to go there."

"Ok, can I talk to him at some point?"

"That wouldn't do! You can't just walk up and talk to him."

"I think I know something that can work. Tell him it will help entertain the dead and possibly give him fewer complaints."

"I will send him the message, the desk clerk relented. "We'll see what he thinks."


"Lord Hades, you have a message, and I think it will surprise you."

"What is it?" Hades grumbled as he took the letter. Persephone was a day late, and he hated it when she was late.

"Hades, Sir, a soul dead around the age of fifteen has made the request of jumping into Tartarus. He would like to talk to you about other ways you could benefit from this."

Mr. Citron

Send a message. I would like to meet this boy." Hades said, his anger replaced with curiosity and excitement.


"Look at that, Hiccup. Hades would like to see you as soon as possible. Come on the boat" Mr. Citron ordered urgently.

Hiccup was both exited and scared. He was going to meet the king of the underworld. Hopefully they could be on good terms. Hiccup also had to get used to the fact that it was the Greek gods that existed and not the Norse ones. He lost his train of thought when they entered the underworld. He saw this large field full of souls, a place that looked like a paradise. He also saw a place full of people being tortured. Hiccup did not want to go there.

Soon they arrived at Hades palace. The place seemed to be made of black marble and bronze. A true evil looking masterpiece. When Hiccup was lead inside, he saw a pale man on a black throne. This man was Hades.

"So, I hear you would like to venture to Tartarus, Hiccup is it?" Hades chuckled at his name.

"First, yes I would like to go to Tartarus, second my name is Hiccup and ironically my name is not the worst where I am from." Hiccup stated slightly annoyed.

"I have a plan that may help both of us." Hades began. "You will fall into Tartarus but first I would like my family and the souls to see it happen. It could be very entertaining due to the fact that it has never happened before where someone went to Tartarus willingly. I am surprised that a demigod would do this considering all monsters feast on them."

"What's a demigod?" Hiccup asked.

"Seriously, you've never heard of a demigod? They are our children, and you are one." Hades was clearly annoyed on Hiccups lack of knowledge.

"Me, a demigod." Hiccup was shocked at this news.

"Yes, your mother is a dark presence. Probably Nyx or one of her children."

"So anyways, let's talk about what I will be doing when I enter Tartarus." Hiccup and Hades talked for a while on what he would do. The plan was to recreate Hiccup's mortal body, give him supplies. Including building materials to make a shrine that allowed people to send him stuff from the Over world. He would also film his time in Tartarus with a device called an Archimedes' sphere that would transport the film as it was called to Aeolus the wind god where it could be made into something called a documentary. Hiccup made it specific that they wouldn't show any incredibly embarrassing events. Eventually Persephone arrived saying she was talking to her nagging mother again about being married to Hades. She then dove in on the conversation of sending Hiccup to Tartarus.

Hiccup was given an Archimedes sphere, a pocket knife, two gallons of water, a week supply of dried food (not from the underworld of course), building supplies, a pocket
sword (a gift from Hephaestus of course. It works like a pocket knife but the blade grows when it flips out) , bow string from the godly twins (They reminded him of the twins back on Berk but with brains), a sack of ambrosia (some kind of magical medicine), and a couple ingots of different metals. All in an enchanted backpack from Hermes.


Today is the day. Hiccup was jumping into Tartarus today.

Many dead came to watch. This had never happened with a willing person before. All twelve Olympian gods were going to see this and many other minor gods came to see it to. Before he jumped in, he turned around and waved to everybody. Hiccup got the sphere ready, closed his eyes, and jumped.


Well this is my very first. Please like and review.
