The flight to the island seemed shorter than the day before, but then again Hiccup was trying to get there as fast as possible. They landed at the beach they were on yesterday, and Hiccup tried to find the Queen, but to no avail.

"Looking for me?" asked a curious voice from the cliff face. Hiccup turned around, trying to find who he just heard.

"Up hear." She said, now annoyed.

Hiccup looked up and saw on a thin ledge, the Dragon Queen sitting. "How did you—"

"That's unimportant and irrelevant," she spoke as she jumped, more like floated, to the ground, "Me explaining my powers doesn't come for two days." She continued, giving a wicked grin. "Oh and thank you for not telling, who was it? Astrid about my existence."

"What do you just spy on me in your spare time?" It was really getting on his nerves how much this girl knew about him.

All she gave was a shrug, "I wanted to make sure you choose the right thing. I purposefully called for an early meeting you know. I'm no idiot, unlike your father. I mean really, how can he buy your complete bogus story? He obviously doesn't understand you." As she said this she was walking around Hiccup in a slow circle. "But don't worry, I know what it feels like to be an outcast in your own tribe, and don't ask me why." She jumped to the answer before the question was spoken. Her more often cloudy eyes were harsh and slightly dark. "Now let me explain how I will do these little meetings." She was once again in front of Hiccup. "Come, sit," she said, gesturing to a table with two chairs that wasn't there a minute ago, "You didn't eat your breakfast." The sly grin was back.

The two teens sat at the table, "Dig in. It's been awhile since I've eaten food so it's all yours." She propped her elbows on the table and had her hands folded, "So here's how we'll do things in the following days," she sat with her back held straight and on the front edge of her chair, "I will tell you the story of my life in reverse." She paused, letting the information sink in, "Today I will tell of my imprisonment by the Green Death and the time till now, so make yourself comfortable, this story is a little long.

"The Green Death appeared in my court approximately… 134 years ago. At first he came to speak for his small group of dragons, most of whom were severally injured and malnourished. They were traveling away from a bitter land. I never learned what had happened, but the place they came from was sucked of all life. Nothing could survive in their barren wasteland, so they came to me. The Green Death knew I was kind and would never turn away such lost souls. Oh what a fool I was." She looked out into the distance, as if she was reliving the experience. "I told them I would give them food and shelter for one month before I sent them on to better lands. I could not add almost a hundred dragons into the area around these islands so suddenly, and with so few between ourselves as it was.

"The Green Death did not like my decision. He would have preferred me to let them all stay there, he still, however, accepted. Throughout the next month, he made especially sure to get close and friendly with all the people in our humble castle, excluding me.

"Once everyone trusted him, he started to spark rebellion. He didn't agree with the fact that I am human, that I wouldn't shelter him forever, and anything else that could serve as a complaint. His best defense was calling me human." She gave a smirk, facing the horizon. "But, oh, am I so much more than that."

Hiccup made a mental note of that comment.

"On one of the last days he was to stay, he confronted me with his new army." Her eyes squinted into a bitter glare. "He openly stated 'A human has no right in the court of dragons, send this half-breed away, and instead let me serve as your rightful king. I promise to do everything she hasn't done. Look at her defend her precious humans, forbidding us from stealing from their lands! Why should we not give them what they rightfully deserve? We cower in the shadows and let humans kill us. We must show them no mercy.' There was no stopping him. The Green Death had this planned out before day one. He knew I wouldn't permanently offer him shelter, he knew everyone would befriend and love him." She paused, looking down at her hands. "And he knew everyone would trust him more than me. He captured me and locked me in a dungeon he created as deep as anything could ever dig. He created a complicated maze so no one could ever find me and free me. He knew I was immortal and would need no food, water, or anything else. I would sit and suffer for all of eternity. I could still sense the outside world and the dragons it contained by using my powers. I sensed six generations of pain, suffering, and death." She stared intently at Hiccup for a moment and then continued, "Until he died. Once his presence was gone I regained my strength. I broke out of prison the same day, ironically, you woke up after losing your leg.

"I immediately tried to find the dragons. When I found them on Berk, I was so surprised yet so… happy that you had created a truce with them." Tears now filled her rain-cloud eyes. "Ever since then I have watched you. You, along with all others who are bonded with dragons, may only see me when I allow it. Dragons always see me and normal people may never see me." She choked up on the last few words. "And that is how I was imprisoned by the Green Death. If you have any questions you may ask them now."

"Oh! Um…" Hiccup was surprised he was finally able to speak. "What did you mean when you said you were so much more than a human?"

She laughed. Her laugh was intriguing. First her laugh chimed, much like bells, second it was still had a humanoid throaty laugh, and third it sounded like a dragon's chortle. "That I will show you soon enough." She gave Hiccup a wink and he blushed to her amusement. It was almost as if she knew exactly how he would react to everything he did.

"Maybe it's because I do." And there she goes reading minds again. "If you don't want me to hear your thoughts don't think so loud. You were shouting that to yourself inside your head, so of course I could hear it," she scolded. She then glanced at the sky, gave a smile with a quick, soft laugh, and then gestured for Hiccup to keep talking.

"How did you become the Dragon Queen if they didn't accept you for being a human?"

She raised an eyebrow. "That little adventure will have to wait until tomorrow's story. Oh and by the way, your friends are here and none of them are bonded with their dragons so they can't see me. Have fun explaining all this." She gestured at the table. "I'll just stick around and watch." As she spoke she had a huge smile and Hiccup heard the gravel on the beach shift, loudly.

"Uh, Hiccup, can you explain what you're doing?" asked Astrid.

Hiccup turned and got out of the large wooden chair. As he did so the Queen stood on her chair, climbed on the table, climbed onto the top of the back of Hiccup's chair, and just stood, amusement in her eyes. "Uh… well you see um… It's just" he couldn't find a way to word it.

"Mention a word about me and you break our truce," yelled the guardian, right in his ear, so he flinched and looked insane. She then jumped off the chair, waved her hand and made the entire table and chairs disappear. Great not only did he look insane for flinching randomly, but now the table set up behind him just disa-flipping-ppears.

"What the-?! Hiccup, what's going on here?" asked a worried and freighted Astrid, "Where did that table go?"

"Well it's uh… kind of hard to explain," Hiccup replied timidly.

"Well start explaining!" she demanded.

The Dragon Queen was walking over towards Astrid, completely ignoring the conversation they were having. "Remember I'm a secret," she sang over her shoulder. The girl then went and started whispering to the dragons, who seemed very excited. Considering what she's already done, Hiccup had a bad feeling about this. "Oh no" he accidently exclaimed out loud, staring at the dragons.

"Wha-" Astrid confusedly turns around and notices the dragons acting all weird.

"NOW!" Screamed the Queen, and all the dragons, besides Toothless of course, flew away.

"Hiccup, what is going on?" Astrid said each word with pauses, obviously not very happy about being stranded on an unfamiliar island with weird things happening and no dragons.

"I just—I—I CAN'T TELL YOU!" Hiccup was struggling to find words to annunciate what was happening.

"What do you mean you can't tell us? And by this point I think it does involve everyone!" Astrid shouted.

"Ok maybe I pushed a bit too far. Let me fix this, it will only take a second." The Dragon Queen reached into one of her pouches and took out a powdery substance.

Everyone noticed Hiccup looking at nothing very intently so they turned to try and see what Hiccup was looking at. Then the Queen blew the dust all over the Viking teens, who passed out instantly.

"Why would you do that?! Now I have to explain this as well!" He said, gesturing at the unconscious Vikings.

"You seriously need to stop underestimating me. I'm going to alter their memories so they don't remember this situation, that was my plan all along but I just like to fuck with people sometimes." She said this all very nonchalantly, with a wide smile, almost as if she splashed Hiccup with water, rather than embarrass him in front of all his friends, and with one hand on her hip, the other still raised from blowing the powder.

"How are we going to get them to Berk? Toothless can't exactly carry all of us."

She just rolled her eyes and said, "Their dragons can carry them of course." Almost as if on cue, the dragons all flew back, landing behind the Queen

"Yeah, of course." This girl seriously irked Hiccup sometimes, especially when she plans out something and already knows the outcome before the plan even starts.

"You'll need to lead them back to Berk. I'm pretty sure we are done for the day. Meet me here whenever you are available tomorrow," she said, walking towards the water, probably about to do the same exit as the day before. She turned around staring back at Hiccup, her eyes full of mischief, a crazy grin spread across her face. "I almost forgot! There was something I planned on showing you!" The Dragon Queen then preceded to raise her hands to the sky and let out a huge roar, but not just any roar, she let out a dragon's roar that would make Toothless jealous.

The next part gets hard to explain.

The girl then bent over, like she was in pain and Hiccup heard the noise of skin ripping and bones snapping. Out of her back grew a pair of dragon wings. The wings were the same color as her pale skin, making it very easy for him to see her pulsing veins in the thin membrane. When the wings were done forming, all bones snapped in place, she looked up.

Her foggy-grey eyes were slits, and when she laughed at Hiccup's surprised face, he noticed that now her tongue was forked and her teeth were pointy. Everything else about her was still the same. Same pale skin with the same odd, red scars. Same blue dress with the same black dragon scales scattered on it. Same crown of flame on her same light blonde hair.

"Like I said," she cooed, her voice much more dragon-like, "I'm so much more than a human." And with that, she gave a mighty flap of her wings, and was gone within the next second.
