He woke up with a terrible feeling in his gut, it was actually starting to hurt, and he walked downstairs to find Hiccup and Astrid already awake. Aden walked shakily to the table "um, Hiccup, now can you tell me?" he asked. Hiccup walked up to him and felt his forehead and his eyes widened and he shook his hand.

"Astrid, get the others and tell them to start bringing buckets of cold water here" he told her and she nodded walking off.

"What's going on, Hiccup?" Aden asked, Hiccup brought up a scroll and held it up so that Aden read it. Aden read it and slowly his eyes widened "what does it mean by hurt me?" Aden asked then gasped as his skin started to burn white-hot.

Hiccup got gloves on and grabbed Aden from falling from the sudden heat all over his body. Astrid came in and set the bucket down as well as the others coming in. "Aden, take off your shirt" Astrid instructed and Aden did so quickly, it felt slightly better but the heat was almost unbearable.

"Hiccup, look at his marks" Ruffnut prompted and Hiccup spotted the marks on Aden; He was right, they were glowing a bright blue. Aden sat on the rock that Toothless usually sat on and laid on his stomach, the rock was cool and brought some relief.

Aden gasped as the stinging on his skin returned even worse than before and his skin started to turn a pink red. Astrid picked up the bucket of water and poured the water over Aden back, the water felt good and some of it turned to steam. "You guys keep getting the buckets of water" Hiccup told them and they all went off to do just that.

"Hiccup, why does it hurt so much? If I'm supposed to be able to breath fire or whatever why is this happening?" Aden asked. He gasped again and Hiccup poured another bucket of water on him.

"I don't know Aden, all I know about you is in that letter and how you're my son no matter what you call me" Hiccup told him.

"How long does this go on for?" Aden asked with his eyes closed trying to ignore the pain completely but it was so intense that it didn't work.

"I don't know, I'm sorry, I hope only for today" he told him and Aden sighed.

"Is this why you trained me? You think I'll have to fight people or something?" Aden asked as another bucket of water poured over his back; courtesy of Astrid.

"Yes, like I always say, I want you to fight no matter what" he told him.

"I'm scared" he told him then winced when a wave of heat came through him again.

"I know but we're right here" Hiccup assured him, Gobber walked into the house with Stoic and frowned at Aden who smiled but grimaced when the wave came again.

"I think I know what this is" Gobber told them "well, not in humans of course but in dragons" Gobber told them.

"Explain" Aden growled, he wasn't exactly in the mood to wait for things.

"Well when Dragons reach a certain age they have this well heating cycle, only happens in 2 year olds or 13 in human years, to start to control their fire they start to heat up on the outside."

"Normally it's very painful even for dragons but for a human, Aden, I'm sorry. Anyway, think of it as boiling a chicken egg, it has to heat up at extreme temperatures on the outside to burn on the inside."

"Once Aden's skin reaches about 1,000 degrees then that's when it will stay inside of him. Aden's half god so he'll be fine but after all this, like a dragon, he'll probably have a mechanism in his body for him to stand heat and possibly breathe fire" Gobber explained."

"You mean I have to reach 1,000 degrees before it's over?" Aden asked; letting out a groan when about a dozen heat waves came at once.

Astrid took two buckets and poured them over Aden's skin "better?" she asked him pushing his black hair out of his face.

"Slightly, I'm gonna be in pain all day, aren't I?" he asked Gobber.

"Well, look at the bright side, at least you aren't doin chores like the rest of the kids in village" Gobber replied smiling with his crooked teeth. In all honesty, that didn't make Aden better, big surprise. Stoic snorted at the remark.

The rest of Aden's day felt like hell on earth, around night-time was when his skin had probably reached its max. He was bright red and the gasping that he did before had now turned screams and he had a right to. His body was now searing hot and no amount of water or ice could make it better so all he could do was wait.

He stayed up all night till midnight until it suddenly died down, his skin seemed beat with his heart and his vision seemed to go foggy. He eventually curled up and fell asleep as he was so incredibly exhausted.


It had been 3 weeks since Aden's 13th birthday and for the first time since; there was a commotion in the village. An exact number of 5 ships had docked at Berk and all wanted to see 'The Dragon Conqueror'. Hiccup made his way down to docks, his explanation running in his head.

Every one of the visitors all had children about 13 years old so Hiccup thought of the connection between these kids and his own. Each of the kids looked exhausted and weary, even though they all wore different expressions and all different they all looked tired.

Hiccup studied the kids.

"Kids and their guardians follow me" Hiccup told them and Stoic glared to make them obey. They climbed up the steep hill and kids all seemed happy to sit at the tables and relax. Astrid was quick to think and she handed Hiccup the book of dragons as well as the other copies of the classes.

Over the years they created 7 copies for each class of dragon as they felt it would help and each book was chocked full of information. Hiccup lined up the books on in the middle of the table for all to see and kids and their guardians seemed to look with fascination.

"These look familiar?" he asked and the kids started to talk all at once until Stoic cleared his throat and they fell silent.

"Well, one at a time, tell me why you're here" Hiccup said trying to keep his face passive as if he had no idea.

"And what you want to gain, if you're here to demand Berk of anything and planning on being freeloaders than you can get out now" Astrid added glaring.

"I guess I'll go first, my name is Tyson and I want to know why I have those 7 markings are on my back and I also want to learn how to control the- the boiling water" he explained, he was a short boy but had good stature and had blonde hair and very light blue eyes.

He wore a white hooded coat with green designs at the end of the sleeves and around the collar of his clothes. It looked Irish and he had a slew of arrows slung around his with a leather strap and then a bow set on the table.

Next, two twin boys stood up "I'm Ciar and this is my brother Finn" he told Hiccup.

"yup, and we're here because… well shootin fire out of your hands without knowing how to control it is a little…" Finn showed frowning and Hiccup nodded. Both boys had dark red hair with gleaming black eyes that gave an air of mischief.

"Well, I guess I only needed to hear a bit of that, can I assume that all the kids that are 13 want to control this new-found power? And since their emblems on the backs started glowing during the heating process you recognized them from the book of dragons?" Hiccup asked.

All nodded "well, you can't learn anything over night, if I'm right-"

"Which he usually is" Tuffnut cut in and Hiccup glared and he shut up with a smirk.

"Anyway, you have to learn this power sort of like a dragon does, with practice and growth and I'm pretty sure my village can't support this many people at once" Hiccup added.

"Then we'll send our guardians off" a girl told him with a determined look and the parents and guardians started argue loudly.

"Quiet! I've stayed quiet till now but this is my village to look after, Berk is full of dragons and people, we can't have 50 extra people hangin around doin nothin. You either leave your children here to train or take your children with you to leave."

"Either way, you respect this village or you answer to our dragons. Toothless" Stoic prompted and Toothless growled and screeched its battle cry which made everyone silent and slightly afraid. "Thank you, now decide tonight and whichever ya choose, ya leave in the morning after we have breakfast" Stoic explained.

Stoic and everyone else left besides the kids and guardians of them, "I think we ought to have some sort of boarding house to keep all these kids" Stoic told Hiccup.

"That's a good idea, I'll have all of us pitch in and the dragons" Hiccup replied.


The next morning Aden finally woke up only find that everyone had gone to the great hall and he could hardly get up. Toothless had let Aden climb on his back and Aden lied on his stomach on his Toothless while he walked to the great hall. Toothless nudged on the door open and closed it with his tail and sniffed to find Hiccup while Aden watched the kids and adults that were there.

Those kids watched him with wide eyes and the dragon too; all shocked that such a fierce creture would carry him. Hiccup turned around and saw Aden and smiled widely, despite that Hiccup wasn't that muscular. He picked him up from Toothless and hugged him "I'm glad you're awake, I've got some news to tell you" Hiccup told him.

Aden nodded and Hiccup set him on the floor, Aden stretched and sat at a table while Hiccup explained the events while he was asleep. "You mean they all have the marks?" he asked and Hiccup nodded.

"It seems that they all have marks for each the classes of dragon" he explained.

"That's no coincidence" Aden agreed nodding then looked back at the kids and it suddenly fell quiet as Stoic went to the front.

"Alright, I gave you the night, anyone staying can go stand by Hiccup and Aden at that table" Stoic told them.

Every single one of the kids stood up and sat at the table with their bags of clothes and such.

Gobber chuckled "looks like we have ourselves a bunch of stubborn kids, eh Stoic?" he asked.

Stoic nodded "well then, you can say good-bye and then we'll have to get these kids situated to their new quarters" Stoic dismissed them.

They all packed up their ships and the kids said good-bye all but one guardian who walked to Hiccup. The man was big and mean looking "that boy, Marcus, I won't be comin for him, you keep the bastard child" he told him. Hiccup's eyes went dark and he glared as the man walked off and got into his boat not looking back.

They left after saying good-bye and they all waved except for one of them, Hiccup suspected that this particular boy was Marcus. Marcus looked even more exhausted and Hiccup had a hunch that his own heating process wasn't so long ago as Aden's was.

Hiccup walked up to the boy "are you Marcus?" Hiccup asked, the boy nodded quietly. The boy was skinny and reminded Hiccup of himself, he also had dark black hair and very dark almost hypnotizing purple eyes. His face seemed very pale and the bags under this boy's eyes was more noticeable and the others.

The boy also wore baggy dark black pants and slightly frayed white shirt that made his skinny frame looked even thinner. Hiccup didn't like the thought of how his father treated him but there was nothing he could do.

Astrid made her way over to scrutinize the boy "how long ago did the heating process happen?" he asked.

The boy looked slightly scared of Astrid but she had that way with people "um, 3 weeks ago" he replied shrinking under Astrid's gaze.

Both Astrid's and Hiccup's eyes widened considerably "3 weeks?! You should be in bed!" Astrid yelled looking angry. Hiccup knew this wasn't a bad angry but a motherly anger, she picked Marcus up with a firm hand and carried him off toward their house.

"3 weeks" Astrid muttered as Marcus looked very thoroughly confused at his predicament and as to why she was angry.

The rest of the kids looked back at Astrid "she's a little…" one of the twins' trailed "nuts?" the other twin offered.

"That's my wife" Hiccup replied and the two looked terrified as they glanced at the Night fury at his side as if he would sick it on him. The rest also looked a little surprised even the stoic ones who glanced at Toothless wearily.

Hiccup laughed "don't worry, she can be scary but once you get know her then she's less likely to throw an axe at you" he explained. "This is my Night Fury, Toothless by the way" he told the group, Toothless walked toward the group curiously.

"Toothless? He's got massive teeth" one of the kids, this boy was tall and broad-shouldered for his age slightly short brown hair. He wore dark pants and a white shirt with straps across his chest that seemed to hold a row of knives. He also had dark green eyes similar to his dragons

Toothless perked when the boy said his name and sniffed him curiously "they're retractable" Hiccup replied smiling at his dragon. Toothless smiled with gums so that the kids could see and they stared in awe.

"So, where are we staying?" one girl asked, she was short with chin length blonde hair was curled up at the ends slightly. Her eyes were a deep grey that were vibrant despite their intensity, she held her chin high smiling.

"In the new house we built, it's got a big table, 4 rooms, 2 big wash rooms; it's a good set up so there shouldn't be any complaints. We shouldn't need to babysit you guys so I'll send Toothless over to break up a fight if there is any" Hiccup told him showing them to their new house.

"We hope you like it, we decided to call 'Dragon Class manor'."
