Chapter 1
Hiccup and his Night Fury pet will pay for their defiance against me! thought Drago Bludvist to himself again and again as he held on with all the strength his one arm could muster. The humiliated warlord had just watched a key invasion of the island of Berk fall apart before his very eyes, as the dishonored madman's own Bewilderbeast, having lost his title as Alpha Dragon to the diminutive but courageous Night Fury Toothless (as well as his left tusk, which had been reduced to a dull stump) was now swimming further and further away from Berk, much to Drago's chagrin. Eventually, Drago felt great relief upon spotting land not far away from his Bewilderbeast's current position and thus ordered the massive dragon forward towards the shore where both Drago and his Bewilderbeast could recuperate after enduring hours at sea.
The following day, Drago managed to find a wooden stick that was as long as the bullhook he'd lost from the maniac's failed invasion of Berk. This pathetic branch will never be as effective as my bullhook was, but it will do for now, Drago thought. Shortly after this discovery, Drago, with his Bewilderbeast in tow, happened upon a solitary, but nonetheless immense, mountain that piqued the barbarian's curiosity. After a quick decision, Drago entered the mount through a gaping opening to investigate what the peculiar foothill contained, but not before using his makeshift command staff to order his Bewilderbeast to stay where it was unless called.
