Hiccup and Toothless were flying further away from Berk than they ever had before. Hiccup loved finding new places to mark on his map. Toothless loved the endless hours of flying. Soaring through the clouds, the wind in his face, and a sense of belonging made Hiccup smile with swelling joy. He felt like the sky was his sanctuary and Toothless was the only one to understand that. Hiccup knew he was going to get the riot act from his father for staying out so late. They were doing all of the free falls and obstacles that they usually did. Every time it made Hiccups stomach tingle from the drops and quick turns. He loved the thrill that came with flying with Toothless. They were now gliding above the clouds. Hiccup took in the night sky view. He didn't think anything could ruin this moment. Little did he know that just that was about to happen. He and Toothless were being watched and they didn't know how much danger they were in.

There was something or rather someone coming closer to them. Toothless heard them coming and he started to growl. Hiccup took notice immediately, "Hey, bud, what's wrong?" Toothless growled again and this time his ears moved to the right. Hiccup started to tense up and was scanning the sky to their right. After a few moments of waiting a Monstrous Nightmare burst through the clouds nearly making Hiccup and Toothless spiral. The dragon itself didn't scare him but when Hiccup saw who was the rider he did double take.

The rider was Drago Bludvist, the man that nearly killed Hiccup and his father. It was only because of Toothless that they were still alive. Hiccup and his father were sure that Drago had died after the battle. Hiccup had not expected to see that bloodthirsty grin again. It sent chills down his spine and made his heart race.

"What's the matter, Dragon Conqueror? You look as if you've seen a ghost." Drago said with a malicious smile.

Hiccup didn't reply. His response was He and Toothless diving under the clouds of the night. Hiccup thought that if they could lose Drago in the clouds then he would be able to warn his father that Drago was still alive. Hiccup heard the sound of a fire blast before it got close. Toothless flew side ways to dodge the fire blast. Drago attempted to blast Hiccup several times.

Hiccup and Toothless flew into the clouds again this time they lost Drago, though they were losing Toothless's leather tail. It was smoldering into flames. It wouldn't be long until it was burned completely.

"Come on, Bud. We gotta get to the ground." Hiccup said over the roar of the wind.

Toothless responded by doing a nose dive to the ground with his wings tucked in. They were so high up Hiccup didn't know if they were going to make it. 'Oh Gods. Thor, please let us get through this.'

They were thirty feet above the tree line when Toothless's tail finally gave away. Hiccup moved with Toothless as he tried to slow their descent. Hiccup knew this was going to be bad. He reached back, grabbed his helmet, and put it on. They hit the tree line. They were slammed into branches and tree trunks. Hiccup collided with a branch causing his metal foot to unlatch. Hiccup was free falling through the branches, alone.

Hiccup was hitting every few branches as he fell, each impact knocking the breath out of him. Hiccup hit the ground. He lay there unable to move looking at the dark sky stars scattered everywhere. Pain covered his body, his breathing was constricted. His eyes were getting heavy and without warning the darkness took him.

Drago

Dragowas getting angry now. He had finally found Stoick's boy and he lost him, again. Now he had to find the boy. He was the key to the dragons and the key to torture Stoick. He wanted him to pay for destroying his army. He was going to get his revenge.

Stoick

Stoick was pacing in front of the fire place in his home. Hiccup still wasn't back and he was starting to get worried. He knew Hiccup had stayed out this late before but that didn't make him any less worried.

"When I find that boy I'm going to- to-. By Thor I'll think of something."

"Oh, Stoick you how it is to get him off that dragon. He's probably flying in circles around the island." Gobber said. And besides he's always adding on to that map of his. It's not like he's going to get lost."

"I know but this time I've got this feeling in my gut that I can't ignore. It's like Odin himself is speaking to me." Stoick responded.

"That's what ya said last week and it turned out to be gas." Valka laughed. "Stoick if he is anything like either of us than he'll be fine."

"Oh, I suppose you're right." Stoick said with an exasperated sigh.

"Don't worry. He'll either be coming through that door or in though his window." Gobber said reassuringly. "You shouldn't worry yourself. Hiccup is unpredictable. You never know what he's gonna do next. Except ya know flying around with Toothless."

"That doesn't exactly put me at ease, Gobber." Stoick said as Valka took his hand.

Valka looked at him and said,"He'll be alright."

The Next Day: Merida

Merida woke to a bright morning with sunlight shining through her window. She immediately jumped out of bed and got dressed. She put her quiver over her shoulder and her bow in her grasp. Merida ran down to the dining hall and picked up a few bisects before sprinting to the stables.

She was going to ride through the woods on Angus. He wasn't as curious as she was but he liked running through the trees just the same. They would ride through the forest as Merida shot her arrows at targets that were placed in various places in the wooded area. She mounted Angus and headed into the forest.

Hiccup

Hiccup was dreaming that he was in the ice cave that his mother had lived in for twenty years. He expected to see hundreds of thousands of dragons but there weren't any to be found. There was nothing to be seen but snow and ice. Hiccup turned around and Drago Bludvist was standing there.

Hiccup started to back up and Drago came closer. He turned and ran called for Toothless. The dragon didn't come and Drago was once again in front of him. Fear was spreading fast through his body. Hiccup felt like he was being toyed with, that Drago already had him and was taking his time.

All of a sudden Hiccup was on the edge of a cliff. He was looking down into darkness, and then someone pushed him.

Hiccup woke with a start gasping after his dream. The sudden movement caused his body to remember how much pain he was in. His vision was blurry but he could see that it was now day time. Hiccup saw a shadow in the light and it was coming closer. Once it was close enough Hiccup could see that it was very large.
