Deep inside of what used to be a territory of dragons, in a foggy sea with viking ships stranded on towering rocks with the flags shredded, there was nothing to be seen because the fog was blocking visibility.
But with a direction that only dragons could follow, an island with rocky beach was located deep inside the foggy sea. On the island itself, stood a giant volcano where the Queen of dragons used to breath. This place was known as the dragon's nest, where dragons would drop fishes into the crater of the volcano, with the Queen's gigantic mouth to bowl the fishes deep inside the crater. The dragons would do this everyday, otherwise, death would be the one to face for the ones that didn't satisfy the queen.
But this is all history. The Queen was killed by a 15 year old teenager riding a Night Fury, who was known to set fire inside the queen's throat. The boy was so brave, he was the first one to create a deep bond with a dragon, and not just any ordinary dragon like a Terrible Terror, he made friends with a Night Fury, the dragon that people believed would be gone in a blink of an eye in the night. He, and his dragon of course, were heroes.
Now that nothing lives in the dragon's nest, it was visited by a rather unlikely couple, who seemed to be tired after a great battle.
Far ahead, a giant dragon, known as the Bewilderbeast, was swimming towards the island, panting. On its giant but yet broken tusk, stood a psychotic man known as Drago. He had his spear pierced on the tusk to balance himself from falling, since his 'prosthetic' arm was nowhere to be found.
The giant dragon stepped on the rocky beach, laying itself on the ground hardly. Exhausted, the dragon drifted off to sleep, letting its master to jump down into the beach.
Drago jumped off, and almost slipped himself because of the imbalance body shape he's currently having. But his spear helped him up. He started walking on the beach, going to a direction that he only knew. He walked to an area where giant rocks were blocking the view of the other side of the beach. With every step he took, he wasted so many energy to keep himself balanced, the loss of his prosthetic arm really affected him, and so did the battle he just lost. A battle between him, and the new master of the dragons. The master was no one else except the previous boy, only now he's five years older, along with his dragon who's also received the title of the new Alpha of the dragon.
He believed that he was the master of all dragon, because of the giant Bewilderbeast was under his command. But without the beast, he was nothing.
After some walking in zig-zag through the rocks, he finally reach his destination, the Queen's skeleton.
It was the skeleton of the dragon's queen, after it fell from the sky with her throat burned by blazing fire that was caused by a spit of a plasma blast. She was now nothing but a skeleton with no flesh whatsoever, lying on her grave of rocks.
Drago approached the ribs part of the skeleton, where he was trying to find a person who gave him the power to control dragons. He's wanting to ask for another chance, to fulfill both his 'dreams' and the person's request. With every hope he gathered, he looked around for the person.
"Hello... Drago."
A person with black clothing and black sands on the end stepped out from behind a giant rib bone. Drago immediately turned to him, and approached him.
"Pitch... I've failed." Drago said, piercing his spear into the ground.
"I knew that. And you made nothing but your enemy to be stronger, did you notice that as well?" Pitch said, staring at his nails casually.
Drago looked down for a moment. "... Yes. But I'm not giving up. I still have the will to kill that boy and that new alpha! But I need more power from you! I've lost everything!" He pleaded, bending down on his knees.
"Hmm..." Pitch smiled, but behind his smile, an evil plan was set up. "But where's the ability that I gave you way back then? Did that not help?" Pitch was referring to the past, where years ago, he was given the power to control dragons by Pitch. He was given the 'voice' to make the dragons bow down to him, and it was powered by fear. It was fear in his voice, that made the dragon army that he built, bowed down under his command. It was all Pitch's help, with a tiny shard of fear, even a dragon would back off.
But with the new alpha commanding, it was all nothing now.
"It helped, A LOT in fact... But I lost everything now.. Nothing would bow to me now."
"As you wish. I'm too lazy to do the work." He summoned of what seemed to be a small brown sack, filled with his black sand. Drago stared at the object, confused of what it was.
"This thing contains my black sand.. Throw this into your enemy, and they should bow to you." He smiled playfully, with also a playful tone. His golden eyes showed of what seemed to be a friendly look, which Drago assumed as what it was.
Drago accepted the item, and saved it. He stood up, "you don't know how grateful I am-"
"Say no more. Go, do what you must." Pitch cut him off. Hearing this, Drago nodded down, and walked away.
He took out the sack once again, and stared at it. He was thinking about the plan he's gonna do in the future,
until an arrow of black sand pierced through his spine. And several feet away, Pitch was there, his pose explained everything, he was the one who shot the arrow. The Arrow soon spread its sand into Drago's body, until he broke down on the rocks, spitting not bloods; but black sands.
Drago looked back at Pitch, with a face begging for mercy, because he couldn't speak. The sand was muffling his throat, not allowing him to speak a word. The sands kept consuming him, until everything was black and dark, whether he went to Valhalla after that or not was a question that nobody could answer, but only could be speculated.
Pitch let out a laugh, an evil one.
"Nobody uses my power, except me!"
Pitch teleported to where the giant sleeping Bewilderbeast was. He had a favor he wanted to do before leaving, and it was to leave a nightmare to the dragon. He summoned a nightmare horse, and it sort of entered the dragon's head to infiltrate the dragon's dream.
Soon, the effect showed up. The beast, with its eyes still closed, stood up on its feet, shaking its head as if it's fighting against something. Then, it charged forward into a hole that the queen created when she was awoken, and a explosion noise was heard after it charged in. It was followed with a big flamethrower that came out from the giant hole. Nobody knows what happened to the Bewilderbeast after that.
Soon, fresh magma that wasn't meant to come out when the time comes, flowed out from the hole.
Pitch chuckled silently at the view.
"Oh poor Drago... He never learnt how to defeat an enemy..."
"Just find enemy's weakness and there you have it, the enemy will surrender! Either you will ask the enemy to give you everything or you kill your enemy instantly is your choice... And what is that boy's weakness?"
"He's a guy, it's very simple...
His loved one is."
With that, he summoned a portal and walked in, leaving no trace behind.
