I do not own How To Train Your Dragon

Not a normal Raid

Shadow Blender POV

The call. That means danger. Living near humans is dangerous enough, but when she calls, the whole thing gets more dangerous. Everybody knows how dangerous it is when you are near these scaleless. They rip limb from limb and laugh about it. If they kill one of us they laugh about it. They do it as it would be like sport for them.

But what she demands, she gets. There is nothing you can do about it. We don´t have a choice she forces us. Believe it or not, even if she is our Queen, she is a Monster. Normally a Queen should to what is the best for the nest. But she doesn´t do something kindhearted like that.

She tells us lies about the sacrifices we need to make or what is the best for our nest. If we don´t follow her or do what she wants, she sacrifices us for the best of the nest.

I saw what she can do. I saw what she is capable of. Just like the scaleless she tears us apart if we don´t do what she wants. I saw how she kills us. She tears us apart with one single strike. When she is done with those who don´t follow, the only thing that still exists is a pile of burned ash or an unidentifiable pile of bones and flesh.

You could think she was born here when you see how cold-blooded she is. No, she came one day from a place far away. She was searching for a good place to settle. And with settle I mean taking over. She didn´t take over our nest with brute force, rather in a much more secretly way.

She took over our minds, slowly one by one she consumed us, ripped away our minds our thoughts and memories. Almost the entire nest couldn´t do something about it.

But not everybody was consumed by this force. Magic. Everyone of us has magic in us. Some have more the others have less. I´m the last one with my own mind and my own will. The others who could resist her, where killed or got a much more worse fate than being killed.

The only thing for us dragons that is much more worse than being killed, is going insane because you cant fly. We live to fly. The Sky is our Home. If we don´t fly, it´s like yo take our will to live.

It´s not easy to be one of the last of my kind. I´m probably the last of my kind here far up north. The scaleless, or humans how the Queen calls them, played a big role in that. They killed almost every Shadow Blender up here just for fun. They are monsters just like the Queen.

That is probably why the Queen didn´t kill me when I was a hatchling. She probably thought she could possess me only because I was so young. So I played along. The truth is it is everything but easy to keep this secret hidden. After Years of playing my role I learned to accept that everybody looked up to me.

I´m feared everywhere. That´s why I lead the most raids. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn´t notice my second in command, who flew right next to me. "Is everything alright Shadow Blender?" I gave him a questionable look. "What do you mean Flame-Skin?" "It seems like you were spaced out. I thought it would be the best if I talk to you before the raid begins. You should concentrate more, so that we can get more food for our majesty." I gave him a evil glare and hissed. "I know what I am doing. Don´t tell me what I have to do or what I should do." At that statement the Flame-Skin fell silent and flew back to the position behind me. He knew better than to challenge me.

For the rest of the flight, everybody was silent. The only thing that you could hear were the beatings of wings. As is saw the village I gave one last instruction to the flare. "Listen. The young are going to raid the storage while the elders are protecting them and distract the humans. Those who don´t fall under these categories are helping where they can. I will try to protect you from above. Understood?" "Understood!" everybody screamed as I gave the sign to attack. Dragoness of the Moon, please let this be a normal Raid.

As i watched everybody leave to attack the village, i flew straight into the air, so that i knew where i would need to help first. Once i was at a height no human would see me, i overlooked the battlefield to see where i would be needed the most.

After a few seconds i saw my first target. A catapult. I don´t even know how the humans repair something this big so quickly. As is flew down to the catapult, the whistling sound of my attack grew louder with each second. As i shot down i put a little bit magic into the plasma blast, so that the hit would be fatal. As i was in range for the shot, i released the plasma blast flew quickly out of the reach of the catapult which was destroyed with a huge explosion.

As i admired my work i suddenly heard screams who where filled with terror and fear. I quickly looked at the direction where the screams came from. That´s when i saw 3 Two-Walker younglings trapped in a net and surrounded by humans. Who laughed at the three Two-Walker´s with raised weapons.

I couldn´t believe what i saw. They show no respect to us. They just want to kill us for fun. Even the young ones. As is saw that I lost it. Mind controlled or not they are living beings too. So I did what I just thought would be the best. I attacked the humans. That would be the first time in a raid I would attack directly.

Ever since I started, I never attacked them directly. I only destroyed their defenses so that it would be easier for us. That changed tonight. I tucked my Wings on my back and began to fly straight to the ground. The only thing I could hear was the loud whistling from my attack as I dived to the humans.

But I had morals. I knew ho powerful my attack was so I aimed not at them, rather at their feet.

The last thing you could hear from those humans was „NIGHT FURY! GET DOWN!" before i released my shot straight at their feet. The explosion was so powerful that they were knocked almost 10 feet away, even when I didn´t shoot directly at them they were completely knocked out and unconscious.

I quickly landed and run to the Two-Walkers to release them. As i released them they thanked me quickly and took off, so that they could get some food.

I knew the raid was almost over but I wanted to destroy one more catapult before we went back to the nest, so that these humans would be busy building it again.

Most of the young ones had food, which could be brought back to the Queen. At least something worked out today. But I wasn´t going to return to nest until I had my target. Call me what you want but if I have my priorities and I´m going to complete them. Or i´m just stubborn who knows?

After a few minutes I found my target. Quicker than I taught. I began to build up my blast again, add a little bit of magic and you have a great explosion like the last catapult. Like the last time I dived down and shot my blast straight at the base of the Catapult, which broke instantly after the massive hit.

As I flew over the destruction as is saw that nobody was watching me. They really do this easy for me don`t they? I was about to return to the nest as suddenly...

Fwap!

I gave out a loud screech as I felt something twisting around my body. Moments later I realized I couldn´t fly anymore. I could only watch as I fell to. I fell to the ground with a loud Thud! And slipped over 20 feet on the ground straight into the village square. The last thing I knew before I went unconscious was, that I was as good as dead.

Hiccup POV

I couldn´t sleep this night. "It´s not even my fault that I fell. It was Snotlout and the twins who pushed me so that the cauldron would fall over. It is not even fair. Nobody believes me. I just wish I would be accepted and wouldn´t be called `Hiccup the Useless` or `The Village Screw-up`."

Everything was silent. I could hear my father snoring in his room. But it was too silent. Something didn´t seem right. That was the moment when I heard the horn. Dragon raid. I quickly jumped out of my bed and ran down to open the door when suddenly a monstrous nightmare thought it would be a great idea to shoot at me.

I quickly closed the door. I could feel the heat behind the door. When the fire breathing stopped I looked outside to see my father running with a war cry to attack the dragons. I didn´even know how he got out of the house before me.

We are for 300 years at a war with Dragons. But it´s not like we would leave soon. No, we are Vikings we have stubbornness issues. Since 300 years it is a tradition to kill dragons. The rules are Kill or be Killed.

One day I will be out there and will be fighting dragons. A Nadder head is sure to get me at least noticed. Gronkles are tough, taking down one of those would definitely get me a Girlfriend. The Hideous Zippleback, exotic, two heads twice the status. Then there is the monstrous nightmare. Only the best of the best go after those, they have the nasty habit of setting themselves on fire.

The Problem is I am not allowed to participate in the Raids. For one I din´t absolve Dragon Training, second I am a screw-up. Most of the time I do something and the results are rather... destructive.

I looked if there were any more dragons. When I saw nothing I ran to the forge. The only place i´m at least a little bit helpful. On the way to the forge some villagers saw me and tried to stop me. Like the person I am, I didn´t listen. Like I said stubbornness issues.

When I arrived at the forge I was greeted by my Mentor Gobber the Belch who was something like a second father to me. I mean I understand that my father and chief Soick has a lot of work to do, but he never listens to me. Most of the time he doesn´t even realize I still exist.

Today was different. I didn´t came to the forge to help repairing the weapons. I had a feeling that something would change today. When Gobber went out of the forge to help out, I ran to the Backroom of the forge.

There it was. My newest invention. I named it the mangler. It shoots a bola at a dragon. When hit, it would prevent the dragon from flying away just like a normal bola would do.

I grabbed the Mangler and ran outside, hoping that nobody would see me running around outside. There was only one point were it would be a good position to shoot from. The cliffs. As I ran to my destination I dodged incoming fire and hoped nobody saw me.

As I ran to the cliffs I heard a whistling that became louder with each second. As I looked up at the sky I saw a quick dis and reappearance of the stars. When I saw where the shadow headed I didn´t know what to think. The Night Fury, better known as the unholy offspring of lightning and death itself attacked humans. But what I saw was something strange. It didn´t attack directly. It rather shot the ground.

I shook my head and went to the cliffs. The raid was almost over that means I have to hurry before they all leave. As I got to the cliffs, I build up the mangler within a rather short time. After it was done I got on the contraption and searched for something to shoot at.

"Come on gimme something to shoot at, gimme something to shoot at." Everything was surrounded in darkness. I was astonished when I saw a catapult which was still intact. Normally the Night Fury would have destroyed it already. That means it could still be around here somewhere.

Maybe this time I wouldn´t screw up everything. I looked at the sky Noting. I saw only Darkness. But then I saw something that wasn´t normal. The stars disappeared for a second and the reappeared after a second. That could only be one thing. "Night Fury" I whispered to myself while I remembered the moment from before.

This time I wouldn´t screw up, I was sure about that. Then, suddenly I heard the whistling of the Night Fury. I knew this was probably my only chance to kill this thing. The whistling got louder and louder with each second. At the end it was so loud, that I thought my ears would start to bleed.

Then I heard that he released the shot. With a loud explosion I saw that the catapult got destroyed with only one shot. I praised to the gods that I would land the shot. With a low click sound I released the shot and was thrown back because of the recoil.

As I got up I watched and listened. I watched with astonishment what I had done. I have brought down this beast. "Did anyone see that?" As I said that I looked where it landed. The village square. Perfect. It be so much easier to kill it there and prove that I am not useless as the village thinks I am. "Finally I will be respected" I said as I ran to the village leaving the mangler behind.

Shadow Blender POV

The first thing I remembered when I woke up was, that I was still alive. Maybe nobody saw me. That would be my only chance to escape from this hellhole. I tried to get free of these things around my body. It worked slowly but it worked.

After a few minutes the pain came back to me and hit me hard. All of my muscles were sore. And don´t even talk about my tail. It feels like somebody cut the tip of it off with a dull metal claw or how they call these things.

I almost got out of these things as I heard somebody walking in my direction. I was shocked when I saw who came around the corner. No way this walking fishbone hatchling shot me down. I felt shame. I dishonored all Shadow Blenders. I couldn´t believe it.

As I looked in his direction I saw that he looked me directly in the eye. I could see fear in his eyes. Was he afraid of me even when I was grounded with these things around me?

Our gazes were locked for a few minutes until I saw other humans approaching. When they saw me they went silent. Why were they silent I taught they would laugh at me or kill me instantly.

The other humans began to walk to the fishbone. I couldn´t understand everything they said but one thing was clear. He shot me down. As he said something they looked... proud?

Before they could do something with me I summoned all my remaining strength. With a quick movement I freed myself and trapped the human under me.

When they were talking before to the human I thought about a good punishment for this fishbone, if I would get out here alive.

Oh this would be so much fun to watch. I stood above the human who was watching me with immense fear in its eyes. I could smell it. It thought that I would kill him.

I placed my paws on his chest looking for the spot where the heart his. I hesitated for a moment. Did he really deserve this?

Yes! He dishonored me. When I found the spot where his heart was I began to summon my magic within me. I summoned it and let it flow through his body into his heart, slowly changing what mother nature had planned with him when he was born, slowly ripping is inner soul apart and replacing it with a new soul. A similar like mine.

He didn´t fight against me like I thought he would. Rather he was silent and didn´t move. His gaze was distant. The only thing that he did was breathing. Not fast, more like a slow breathing.

Then, suddenly, he began to scream at the top of his lungs. He tried to struggle away, grabbed at my scales when he began to change. You could hear loud cracks when his body began to grow. Oh this would hurt so much but he deserves this.

First the scales came. But not just appearing, more like growing out of his skin which was really painful for him and a little bit painful to watch for me. But he deserved it. At some point his teeth began to fall out one after another. They were bloody at the edges. If you would look in his mouth now there wouldn´t be one tooth left. His muscles began to grow out of sync and his fur began to fall of his head. The scales sprouted around his growing frame. Where they grew you could see rips of blood around them. It was really a mess.

There was much screaming until there was a loud SNAP! And the wing and tailbones began to rip apart the skin where they grew. They were bloody when scales began growing on them. Then, what seems like what came out of his body, membranes began to grow completing his wings. The tail received the same fate as his scale covered tail began to form the tailfins out of his body.

Frills began to sprout out of his head as it began to flatten. To become much more like mine. As his head was done his teeth began to grow out of his gums. They weren´t growing like Human teeth, rather like my teeth. Short but sharp enough to rip and tear apart any living being.

Now his change was near complete. Only a few scaleless spots were left. But that changed quickly when I pumped more of my magic into his heart.

When there weren´t any snaps or cracks I knew it was done. A bit shaky I stepped off him and admired my work. He looked much like me. The only differences were the scale colour. He wasnt´t black like me. No his scales were in a brownish colour and he was a little bit smaller than me. When I came to my senses I realized there were humans watching me. A horrific face expression printed on their faces. "That´s right look what he is now. Don´t mess with me or this will happen again and next time will be far more antagonizing than this time." I growled at the humans. I was done here in this village, and decided that it would be a good moment to return to the nest. As I began to fly I realized that something wasn´t right. My left tailfin was not there! I completely forgot about that. But it was too late now when I realized I

couldn´t fly straight. That´s when I suddenly got out of control and fell to the ground again.

When I got up I decided to run into the forest, where it would be safe for now.

This was Chapter one. I hope you liked it.
