Prologue.
"Darkness. That's the first thing I remember.
It was dark, and it was cold. And I was scared.
I started to think I was dead.
But then, then I saw the Moon. It was big, and it was so… dark? Yeah, it was dark. And that made me feel even more scared.
And that's when I realized the world was now a dark place."
.
"Dark, dark, dark! Ha, ha, ha! My precious dark…Who knew that someday it would run the world? Me, of course! Nightmares everywhere, dark everywhere, FEAR everywhere, HA, HA, HA!"
.
"The bright yellow, which always had lighted my dark days, disappeared. Instead, there was a black Sun. I don't know how even I called it 'Sun'. There was no light on it.
All hope disappeared faster than the wind.
Shadows. Dark Shadows were appearing in every place I looked at.
Every sign of life standing a few seconds ago, was now a sign of death. Sweet, sweet, and fearful death."
.
"'Mother?' I called. There was no answer. I called her again, this time louder. 'Mother?'
Silence. 'Mother, I'm so sorry! So, so, sorry! I didn't mean this to happen!' I cried.
The answer? Silence, again and again. Begging for apologize, begging I'm sorry, didn't fix anything. My mother was now a bear, and it was all over. I looked at her in the black eyes, hoping she would recognize her daughter, but it was in vain.
She attacked me with her ferocious claws, and I thought of my brothers, my father, my mother and a last forgiveness.
Then everything went black."
.
"Toothless was gone.
My father was also gone. His words were still repeating in my head. 'You're not a Viking. You're not my son!' I was amazed how just a few words can easily hurt as a knife.
I had to go and rescue my dad and my dragon. I couldn't just sit there and- wait. What was that sound?
I stood up and opened the black gate.
The last thing I remember is hearing my father shouting my name and hot air crossing my face."
