I do not own any part of httyd, I only own Ares and his dragon Grim.

Astrid tumbled back as the cloaked man retracted his blade into the hilt. This put Hiccup slightly at ease, Toothless then jumped on top of the red death's head, despite the obvious irritation the large dragon displayed. Hiccup quickly dismounted and pulled out his flame sword. He quickly swung at his thigh, but accomplished nothing due to the masked man quickly deflecting his strike. He then put his hand up, "Stop". Hiccup found his voice deep and solid. While Astrid and Heather found it soothing. Toothless also found it soothing in a way. "We need not be advisories." "I only disire to know who's territory I am in."

"You are in Berk's territory." Hiccup replied. " I assume that Night Fury of yours is the alpha of this territory?" He questioned. "How can you tell?" Hiccup asked. "It's posture implies a higher rank among the dragons." Hiccup was surprised, he knew he had a lot to learn from his mother, but he doubted that even she could tell the rank a dragon held simply by it's posture. The man looked out over the ocean and saw the massive storm clouds comming towards them. "I best be leaving to avoid the storm." He said, out of the massive torm clouds, lightning and thunder began to spark. "You and your dragon should come back with us to Berk, that storm will reach us soon." The man stood frozen for a few seconds, but slightly nodded. They flew off, going extremely fast to avoid the raging storm behind them. Astrid was riding on Stormfly, when she noticed a large shadow above the unstable and furious surface of the ocean. She looked up to see the man, his cloak whipping heavily and thunderously in the air, the rain pouring down hard on the others, forcing them to hold their heads low to their dragon's back, seemed to barely faze him as the water drops simply rolled off his metallic face. " Like...Tears?" Astrid mumbled. She looked ahead and began to see Berk. Once landing on the island, Hiccup offered a tour for their visitor, but the two men were also accompanied by Astrid and Heather, their repeated asking where he learned his fighting technique was enough to drive anyone insane. "Girls, leave- wait... I never did catch your name." The man looked back at them, his ghost like mask, made shivers go down even Toothless spine. "My name is Ares."

3 hours later

"Ares, what do you think of Berk? Hiccup asked. Ares paused, " It's definitely different than some of the other villages I visit." Hiccup had been showing him around, asking where he would like to stay, "The underground caverns will do, thank you." Ares politely answerd the Berk chief. "You're welcome Ares." Hiccup replied, latter, Ares and his dragon flew to the underground caverns and began a little one sided conversation, "They seem pretty nice." Ares mumbled loud enough for his dragon to hear. He game a slight rumble back. "I hope it doesn't take too long for this storm to clear up." Ares said while walking over to a large brown chest that was attached to the platform on Grim's back. His dragon then responded as if saying "I know you don't really want to leave Ares" After his dragon fell asleep, Ares thought aloud, "I guess Grim knows me better than I thought."

Much longer chapter, no reviews on the last one, but I understand that because the first chapter was not a whole lot to review, I'm hoping this one is more to review! I'm also very thankful to the 38 viewers I had on the last one! Thank you all for reading! I hope this one is much better than the last one!

Goldie out!
