AN: I know this chapter is a little short but I felt that I should write it down before I forgot. I promise that I will post another one on Tuesday. Think of it as my present to you. For those of you that are wondering what his powers are, all I can say is that you will slowly find out (muahahaha), but I can tell you his first two powers. Shape shifting and fire. I also plan to have a time skip in the future and make it as hilarious as possible.

Chapter 4

Gobber could not believe his eyes; he was sure that this was all some very bad nightmare and that he was currently passed out in the mead hall after one of his and Stoick's drinking challenges. He was quick to dismiss this because despite what people say about him, he could never dream up this.

Everything was still. The dragons were actually scared to move. They could feel the danger in the air and it had frozen them in their place. All that they were capable of doing was starring at the center of the town square at the small hatchling.

Hiccup was in a trance like state looking at nothing in particular, still oblivious to the pack of dragons that had gathered around him. Then the trance was broken as he bent over in pain dropping to all four and giving out screams of pain. He did not know what was happening but he felt that his body was being ripped apart, which it actually was. His body began to get hotter and hotter as if the flames of hel were actually flowing throw his body. As he hunched his back he heard it, the sickening snap of is joints being dislocated, the recognizable sound of his bones breaking. He felt the muscles in his body break and then mend themselves, as well as his bones began to grow longer and tougher giving him a grotesque feeling of pain.

Hiccup with down cast eyes looked at his hands on the dirt but he could not feel them. His nails began to get longer and thicker, turning a black color, until they were the size of a hunting knife; the skin on his hands was torn and were stained red with blood. He looked at his unfamiliar hands with a look of shock and panic, but then he felt a new sensation. His skin began to feel extremely irritated. White long hair began to emerge from every pour in his entire body sending him into a new wave of pain but every time he felt a surge of pain the flames around him would grow higher and bigger, almost as if they were being fed by his misery. Hiccup saw his nose snap and grow longer as his jaw was dislocated; then saw that his face was now covered in small white hairs; but what really pained him was the sensation of all his teeth being ripped out as if by imaginary pliers and being replaced by sharp pointed ones.

His lower legs had become dislocated and had mended in a way that would surly make him unable to walk normally again. His feet had also become longer and gained the knife like claws that his arm had. The flames began to get higher and more intense, until it surrounded him. However they did nothing except burn his clothes away into ashes and hid his appearance only showing a silhouette in between the fire. He felt the immense pain of his spine getting longer until the tip had pierced the skin on his back and was left dangling there, but not for long as skin and muscle began to crawl along the white bony path of this new appendage and slowly wrap it. Just like the rest of his body, silver hair began to cover every inch of skin.

Hiccup looked to the sky and gave out one last scream and as he did so the flames surrounding him erupted into a column of immense fire that reached a hundred feet in the sky making it visible for everyone on the island, dragons and Vikings alike, to see.

All those in the village, that were not inside the mead hall, looked at this new development with both fear and wonder. Vikings stopped their attacks completely looking in the directing of the fiery inferno and the dragons did the same, both oblivious to each other and the intense battle they were fighting only seconds ago.

They saw the pillar of light begin to diminish until only a small ball of fire remained but what they saw was completely unexpected. They saw an inhuman form inside the sphere and the first thing that emerged was a long white paw with black long claws that could easily rip through any shield. Then another emerged from the fire only for it to pull along a face covered in white fur. It gave a mighty howl and in an instant the fire vanished, flames remaining only on its paws. Everybody saw the biggest wolf they had ever seen, it was over twenty feet high and thirty five feet long, making it the biggest living thing on the island including the dragons. They noticed that it was covered in silvery white fur, almost shining from the light the moon gave. Normally wolves tend to have yellow or blue eyes but when they saw what color eyes it had, they were startled to find that its eyes were the deepest shade of red that they had ever seen. It stood with a sense of authority and power that made it look even more majestic.

Gobber had seen all of this happen and was honestly very afraid. He currently clutched the body of Val, which he took the liberty of grabbing when he saw the flames gathering around Hiccup. He knew that this was not something he would ever forget no matter the amount of mead he drank, he would be haunted by the memory of his young apprentice turn into the beast that currently stood in front of him.

The white wolf began to scanning the surrounding area only to notice that it was surrounded by at least a dozen dragons all with the intent to kill. It began to snarl and growl, fire seemed to envelope it like a monstrous nightmare and with one earth shattering howl all chaos broke loose.

From the edge of a cliff two beings watched things unfold with concern and guilt. One was the hooded figure from the woods; the other was a black dragon that easily blended into the night sky.

"It pains my heart to see this child suffer so much because of our incompetence," whispered the mysterious man. The dragon gave back a growl that said it agreed. "Come we must be ready, if something unexpected happens." With that they disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.
