A/N: Hi everyone! This is my first fanfic. I think it's pretty good so I hope you enjoy it:D Please review. Constructive criticism welcome. Also, if you like good HTTYD fanfics, I would suggest reading "Accidents Happen" by sweetwritingismylife.

Disclaimer: I don't own HTTYD2, but if I did I would be riding Toothless right now.

When the two most fearsome come to battle, the good will die. And when the good dies, so will the evil . The good shall show the bad who is the most high. The new leader, a boy, along with one companion, must go to the lair of the evil to prove his worth."

"It says this is the right cave Bud," Toothless and Hiccup stood at the entry to the cavern. It looked as though nothing was in their way, but they knew that was not true. "Why couldn't anyone else have come with us, like mom?" Hiccup mumbled to himself. The prophecy or "Legend" said that supposedly he was to go to the Devil's Lair with a single companion. Or something like that.

Two months ago…

"Toothless!" Hiccup cried. "Put me down!"

Toothless fell backwards onto the ground, and started to prance around him.

"How many times have I told you to not dangle me off the edge of cliffs?!" Hiccup yelled, gasping for air.

Astrid watched him with a wide grin on her face.

"I don't think he wanted half his food portion," she said.

"Well don't you think he deserves it even just slightly?! I mean he did kind of eat half my food. I really don't think he deserv-" he was cut off by a loud BANG, CRACK, THUMP. "Toothless stop shooting trees down! This is a lumber forest, so you have to let the Lumberjacks cut them down," Hiccup scolded. "See what I mean Astrid?"

"Okay." She said giving in. "He might need a little discipline, but not enough to make him want to drop you off a 700 foot cliff into the ocean."

"Yeah I guess you're right." They sat in silence for a while watching Stormfly and Toothless play with the tree that was shot.

"You two out for a flight this early?" Came a voice which neither Astrid nor Hiccup had ever heard. He was a tall man, about the size of his father, however much skinnier. His hair was shaggy and dark brown, cut a little shorter than Hiccup's. He was clean shaved and wore ragged clothes. Orange-brown eyes made it look like he literally had fire in his eyes.

"Uh, yeah. That's me." Hiccup laughed his fake laugh. "We like to get out in the early daylight."

"I see," he smiled. "Make sure you're careful, 'cause the woods can be a mighty scare when it gets dark."

There was something about his voice that made it seem like he had the capron cold, a disease, only in berk, that changes your voice to be raspy and sometimes shaky. "What do you mean?" Hiccup was starting to get suspicious.

"I mean I've seen things. They're not dragons. They're not humans. They're like ghosts." He sounded serious, but he was also very cheerful, even when talking about the "ghosts". Too cheerful.

"And you've seen them?" Astrid didn't sound very convinced.

"Oh you bet I have! But don't worry. They're friendly! I have become friends with them."
