One day earlier

The Island of Berk

„How did they knew! What the fuck has happened! It's like they just vanished! I was thinking that this plan was perfect!" Dagur angry shouted through the empty village.

„Stop thinking. All thinking has been done. You simply need to do what you're told, follow orders. Can you do that?" A man said with his neutral voice a bit louder. He had short, black hair and brown eyes. He also had a weird shaped beard and three scars on the left side of his neck. He wears a black tunic with red scales on his shoulders and around his waist. He also has spiked shoulder pads and a silver belt buckle with Dragon Hunters' tribal crest on it, and black wrist guards.

"What will we do Viggo?" A second man has asked.

"I don't know Ryker. We will head back to Drago and face his wrath. But consequences are on Dagur's head." Viggo said and Ryker has chuckled while Dagur paled.


Five days later

Shores of Mainland. The Kingdom of Wilderwest. Near the royal city of Lunansholt.

Langley stood at the bow of the ship and watched as mist in front of them got thick. It wasn't unusual for Lunansholt. "Tell the ship to stay close to each other and set signal fire on our ship." He said to Arvid and he nodded.

"This is a bit creepy." He heard Ylva behind him. He turned around and saw how teens, chiefs of the Islands and Hofferson family were heading to him. They stayed at his ship for five days and he gets to know them a lot better.

"This mist is usual for every morning here. It will disappear when we get closer to the shore. For now, we must be careful. Ships could easily crash into each other in this yak milk mist." Langley said when they came close enough. They waited for a while before first sunlights broke through the thick mist. And after than mist started to disappear.

Astrid came to the front and she was awed when mist disappeared. They could saw the port of the royal city. It was bigger than their whole village at Berk. Ships of different size and structures could be seen docked in the port or at the open sea. In the distance, she could recognize big ice structure made in the sea and she could only guess that it was big as whole Berk. As for Lunansholt dock was surrounded by big stone walls which continued deeply inside the mainland. She could see how sailors were working on ships or at dock and guards were patrolling the dock and walls. Then she saw how Langley took a horn from his waist and blew it. After a moment she could hear how port's horn answered.

She then saw how several dots started to circle that ice structure and when they were closer she saw that it was dragons. They then flew towards the sea and Astrid asked. "Where are they going?"

"Morning hunt. They manage to catch more fish in a morning then dozens of fishermen for a week." Langley answered to her.

"This is incredible.." Stoick said as he watched view in front of them and he was not the only one who was in awe. Everyone who didn't saw new Lunansholt were awed.

"How did you managed..." Mogadon's voice trailed off and Arvid laughed. "It's not the same city as it was, friends. And it was possible only with help of dragons."


King was sitting in his throne room and he was deep in thoughts. He didn't hear a word from Langley and he was starting to be nervous. But if he was successful then their situation would improve greatly. Only if Hiccup was able to bring that dragon rebel group from the north, they would have a great chance against Drago's and Berserker's army. He was interrupted from his thoughts when one of the guards opened the door and walked inside.

"My king," he said as he bowed a little. "Langley has returned and he brought a fleet of ships." King smiled a little as he answered. "That is a great news. Bring them here when they will dock." Guard bowed again and made his way out. King whistled and in a moment a red terrible terror landed on his shoulder.

"Tell Valka to meet me here." King said to him. Terror licked his cheek and flew away.

"Now this will be interesting." King said to himself but soon he was lost in thoughts again. He must find a way how to bring the leader of dragon rebels here.


After a long, while their ship came into a dock. They slowly approached one of the port decks and they docked while his other four ships stayed at sea. They lowered the plank and Langley were first who stepped at the port. Everyone stopped working when others went behind him. They saw that everyone watched them and they started to felt uneasy. Especially Hofferson family. Everyone was pointing at them and they were murmuring something.

"Don't you have better things to do?" Langley shouted and everyone fell silent. "We have three tribes here who's need to be taken care of, so get back to work." With that everyone went back to their jobs and three guards walked to him.

"It's good to see you back, the left hand of the king." Guard said and Langley smiled. "It's good to be back home."

"King wants to see you all, right away." Guard continued but Bertha interrupted him. "What about our people?"

"They will be taken care of while you will be at the audience. You will see them afterward." Guard said and Stoick, Mogadon and Bertha looked at each other before they nodded.

"So if it's settled, we shouldn't let him wait." Langley said and guards nodded. They turned around and started walking towards dock's gate while Langley and others followed them. When they passed the gate they could see a lively city. People were walking around, talking or working while children were playing in the districts. What surprised most of them was that dragons were helping them and some even played with children while their parents only laughed at that. They never saw this side of dragons.

As they passed the street, people stopped their jobs and watched them closely. And it was clear that everyone knew who they are. They passed the marketplace and continued their way through street surrounded by wooden houses. After a while, they were in front of another stone wall in which was another gate. On the other side of the gate weren't wooden houses but strong stone houses. Here, too people watched them as they passed.

After a long while, they came to another gate which was guarded by several guards. When they saw Langley they put their right hand on their heart and their right arm was across their chest. When they passed the gate they could see a big stone square with fountains and big trees. In front of them was a king's stone castle. It was bigger than Berk's great hall and on top of it were ramparts with catapults and trebuchets.

Two guards went open the entrance door to the castle and then they could saw a big passageway leading to another door. Wall was decorated by different precious stones as with painting and growing flowers.

"Stay here." Langley said and entered into the next room, while he left them with the guards. They didn't minded because they were still in awe of this city and this very room.


Valka walked with her daughter through the mead hall and they laughed as Heather told her about a conversation she heard in docks yesterday.

"Did he really told her that he met Dragon child?" Valka asked as her laughter faded a little. "Yeah, and her face.. You should saw her face.." Heather tried to say through her laugh. "She was like 'do you think that I will believe it?' And then came her nadder... She sent her at him... He was shrieking worse than a girl."

"I see that someone is in a good mood." They could hear Hiccup's voice. They turned around and they saw him coming to them, his face down.

"What happened?" Valka immediately asked and Heather laughter ceased.

"Dragon child happened.." Hiccup said as he sank to the bench near them. They went to sit down next to him. "I nearly met him." He said when they sat to him. "Or at least I think so because I saw his dragon. That silver fury is just beautiful."

Silver fury was a fresh memory in Valka's mind. It was as majestic as Night fury. Silver Fury was the color of "the purest silver" and he resembles the Night Fury. Silver Fury had four legs but he was unable to stand on two legs like a Night Fury. He had wing-like appendages on the back of its head and pair of pointy ears. Unlike the Night Fury, however, the Silver Fury had a long, Monstrous Nightmare like neck and lacks any kind of horns. Like the Night Fury, he had a bit larger spines, from their nose to their tail tip. That dragon was about 32 feet in length. His wingspan was approximately 50 feet. He used his tail fins on his tail to help steer and maneuver like Night Fury. Silver Fury also had a lethal blue fire. She met him before she met Hiccup. Who could know that dragon has his rider? She cursed herself when she didn't follow him when he wanted to leave nest back then.

"And what happened?" Heather asked and Hiccup shook his head. "We all lost our temper. Toothless and I.. We.. We were quite annoyed from that chilling wind that Toothless shot at him.. Only a small charge.. To bring him down at least... But we missed.. And then a Snow Wraith attacked us from behind. The only thing I saw was that on the back of that Snow Wraith was a woman with long platinum blonde hair... Silver fury after that roared and they just disappeared..."

Valka and Heather stayed quiet. They didn't know what to say. They were trying to meet that dragon child for a year already and they just didn't get close enough. Even king of dragons didn't know what to do.

"Five days.." Hiccup continued. "I was there for five days. Freezing. You would not believe how cold is out there. And when I was so close... I snapped... It's a mess..."

"So what are you planning?" Heather asked and Hiccup sighed as he stood up. "I will talk with both kings and we will see, what will we do next. For now, I must go train the new recruits for the army." Heather stood up and hugged her brother. "I'm sure that you will find a way, brother."

He hugged her back. "Thank you."

"And we will help you next time." Valka said and they looked at her. Hiccup laughed a little and said. "Then better be ready, we are leaving tomorrow at dawn."

"You want to go so soon?" Valka asked in bewilderment.

"Yes, we must find him soon, or we will not be able to go there in the winter. I think that even a dragon child moves from there every winter." Hiccup said and they nodded.

"How many dragons do you think he has?" Valka asked as they walked towards the door. "Last time I saw his flock it could be around one or two thousand."

"That would help us with Drago immeasurably." Heather commented and Hiccup nodded. "Yes, it would be great if he would join us. Not only because of his dragons but because from what I saw he was the Alpha. His dragons respected me but they obeyed only him."

"It would be great to have another alpha. It would be a lot safer if Drago would..." Heather said but her voice trailed off. "I will rather not finish it." She whispered and Valka with Hiccup both hugged her from the sides with a smile.

"Anyway Hiccup, good luck with recruits. You will have there a real star, from what I heard." Valka said to Heather when they opened the door and they both chuckled. Hiccup just rolled his eyes at it.

"See you both later." Hiccup said and left the hall with the left passageway. A moment after he left a red terror landed on Valka's shoulder.

"What do you need a little one?" Valka said as she scratched him under the head.

"King of humans summoned you." He purred into her hand.

"Thank you little one." She scratched him again and he flew away.

"What does he want?" Heather asked and Valka shrugged. They turned around and went into the right passageway.


Same day

Unknown location in the north

"Be ready to fire as soon as you will see something." Drago said to his men and they nodded. He wanted that dragon child. Dead or alive. It didn't matter to him. But that snow storm ahead of them didn't look good. That dragon child saved enough dragons from his traps. If he would go after him even in that storm, he wouldn't hesitate. But then to his luck, they heard a roar.

"Hide, everyone!" Drago shouted and everyone tried to get out of sight. He knew that his plan will work. He even took one of the Berserker ships to fool him. After a moment a silver dragon landed on the empty deck. He smirked to himself. It was a silver fury. And where was silver fury there would be that dragon child, too. His plan worked perfectly.

"Now!" He shouted and that startled that dragon. His archer immediately went out of hiding and they fired they arrows as soon as they could. Silver fury, unfortunately for them, didn't waste any time. Before archers fired he was in the air. However, some archers expected that and one was lucky enough to hit him to his abdomen. Silver fury roared from pain but was able to fly away and hide in a snow storm in front of them.

Drago cursed as loudly as he could and even punched one of his soldiers while others shrunk back.

"Turn around and head back to the base!" He shouted and his soldiers obeyed without any word. "I hope that Viggo had more luck than me." He said to himself as his soldiers turned the ship.


Same day

The Royal city of Lunansholt. The Kingdom of Wilderwest. King's castle.

Valka and Heather walked to the throne room and they saw how the king was sitting in his throne deep in thoughts.

"Did you call us?" Valka asked when they came to him.

"Hmm? Oh, yes Valka I called you here." King said as he was again interrupted from his thoughts. "I want you to meet someone."

"Oh, and who would that be?" Valka asked and then a door opened and when they turned around they could saw how Langley was walking to them.

"Langley!" Heather said and ran to him. She then fiercely hugged him, which send surprised Langley nearly to the ground. When Heather realized what she did, she quickly released him and took a step back. Valka and King just chuckled at their blushing faces. After a moment king stood up and said. "I heard that you were successful."

"Oh, yes. They are waiting behind the doors." Langley said and Valka turned to the king. "Who is he talking about?" She asked. King nodded to Langley and he nodded back. He went back to the doors while Heather went back to Valka who was standing in front of the king. Langley then opened the doors and when Valka saw who was walking behind him she gasped. Heather didn't know why her mother reacted that way so she was interested in this situation.

"Berk, Meatheads and Bog Burglars at the lands of the Wilderwest. I must say that it was a long time." King said and he went next to Valka and Heather. When king said, Berk, even Heather now gasped. Stoick, however, walked behind Langley and he didn't saw that Valka was standing there. However, when they were in the front of Valka, Langley went to stand next to the king and when he saw Valka he gasped.

"You?!" Valka said. "What are you doing here?"

However, Stoick and others were speechless. Astrid on other hand was curious. She wanted to know Hiccup's mother personally.

"Who's idea this was?" Valka turned to the king and Langley.

"Valka, there was no other option..." King tried to say but she interrupted him. "No other option? What are you talking about?"

"Drago and Dagur wanted to kill them!" Langley said but Valka just turned around and stormed out of the throne room. That snapped Stoick from his trans. "Val!" He tried to stop her but she continued on her way out. She opened the door and walked away without even looking back.

Heather, however, was more interested in that blonde girl, which came with them, than in her own father. "She will cool off. Just give her time." She said and everyone looked at her. "Heather Haddock. Glad to meet you." She bowed a little as she said that but when she looked back up she almost burst out laughing.

"Had-dock?" Blonde girl stuttered and Heather was now sure that girl is Astrid. "I'm Hiccup's wife.." Heather continued but then Langley with king burst out laughing.

"You destroyed my moment! I wanted to tease them." Heather pouted and the duo laughed even more.

"Ok, what the heck is going on!" Camicazi shouted and they laugh ceased.

"I was trying to ease up the mood in here after my mother left so suddenly." Heather said and their jaw went wide open.

"Mother!?" Stoick asked and Heather nodded.

"Yes, father. Mother." Heather said with her most serious voice and she turned to Langley. "Langley, we will talk about this later. I must go after my mother before she will do something stupid."

"What do you think that she would do, Heather?" Langley asked when she was already leaving.

"I don't know! Telling Hiccup for example!" She shouted when she was near doors and a moment after that she left.

"Fine, am I the only one who don't get any of this?" Tuffnut asked.

King shook his head and sighed. "Langley go after her. I will take care of our guests." Langley nodded and darted after Heather.

"So, I want to apologize for this." King started when he left. "Truth to be told I expected that things will go better. But I can't blame them. It's not their fault. Am I right, Stoick?" Stoick reluctantly nodded with his face down in a shame.

"Finn, it's good to see you again." King then said and Finn answered. "It's been a long time, Agnar. I'm quite surprised that you are the new king of the Wilderwest."

"Well, times has changed." King said and then he focused his look on the blonde teen girl who was standing with Hofferson family. "You must be Astrid, I presume?" King asked and she nodded.

"It's great to have you all here. I'm Agnar, recently King Agnar. Your parents surely know me so it's appropriate that you will know me too. Come walk with me." King said as he headed to the door on his right. After a moment they followed him.

"Stoick, I don't get how could you behave so terrible to your own family." King said when guards opened doors in front of him. "Your family is wonderful, how could you be so blind?"

"I.. I.." Stoick tried to say but he couldn't. He didn't know what to say.

"Let me say it for you. You were dumb." Agnar said and others were surprised that Stoick nodded.

"Where are we heading?" Astrid asked. She wanted to see Hiccup.

"We are nearly there." Agnar said and guards opened another door in front of them. They were blinded for a while because of the bright light of the sun but when then they could see that they were on some kind of balcony.

"Look down." Agnar said. Astrid was first and when she did she gasped. A long way under them was some kind of fighting ring which was surrounded by a huge moat filled with water. In middle of a fighting ring was standing dozen of teens in two rows.

"What are we doing here?" Bertha asked and king smiled. "Watch." Then they heard a familiar whistle. In a moment a Night fury passed close above their heads so close that they ducked down.

"Night fury..." Mogadon breathes out when that Night fury landed in the ring. Then a rider in a leather armor jumped down from the night fury's back.

"Hiccup.." Astrid breathed out. Rider then puts down his helmet and everyone gasped.

"That is not our Hiccup." Tuffnut said and king chuckled.


Hiccup jumped down from Toothless and put down his helmet as he walked to the recruits. He eyed them carefully. It was a weird bunch of recruits. In their eyes, he could see fear, happiness, determination and even amusement.

"So you want to be part of the Wilderwest army." Hiccup said as he circled them. He expected them to answer but he got only silent.

"I asked you something!" He shouted and only now they reacted as they shouted in unison. "We want to be part of the army!"

"Great! So let get down to business!" Hiccup said as he stopped in front of them. "I bet that everyone knows who I'm but let me say you this. It doesn't matter here. In this fighting ring, I'm your enemy! In this ring is everyone your enemy unless you are in the same team. In this ring, you will learn how to defeat Drago's army! Battle ready!" Hiccup shouted and they raised their shield and swords with a warcry.

"Two teams! And fight!" Hiccup shouted and then two rows parted on both sides of the ring. Hiccup walked to the Toothless and then a king of all dragons emerged from the water in front of him.


"What is that?" Bertha said as they watched how that gigantic dragon emerged in front of Hiccup.

"That is a king of all dragons." King said. "He is our teacher and fair leader of dragons. He taught Hiccup almost everything what he knows."

Astrid watched them with interest. She was not interested so much in the king of the dragons but in Hiccup himself. How he talked to the recruits, she never saw that determination in him. She knew that he had a bit of his father flair but now she was certain that he is Stoick's son.


"Morning, Hiccup." King greeted him.

"Morning, Alvredus. How was the hunt?" Hiccup greeted back and king chuckled.

"Same as always. It is a bit boring when you are as big as me." King joked and Hiccup laughed. "Anyway, I had a reason come here. Some of my dragons from the north returned with terrible news."

"What happened?" Hiccup quickly asked.

"Dragon child was severely wounded by Drago." When king said that Hiccup paled. If he would die then their chance to defeat Drago would be wearing thin. "A word is that if his mate will not look for help in human villages he will die."

Hiccup leaned closer and whispered. "Call Cloudjumper and Windshear. Tell them to bring here my mother and sister. We must leave right away."

King nodded and he roared to the sky, which startled everyone in the close distance.


"What is happening?" Stoick asked and Agnar shook his head. "I don't know. Hiccup said something to the king and he called Cloudjumper and Windshear. He told them to bring their riders."

"And their riders are?" Ylva asked and king gulped. "Valka and Heather."

"So what exactly is going on?" Astrid asked as she didn't know what it meant.

"There are two options. One is that king told him that you came. But that's unlikely. The other is that something has happened. And if it is the second option then we have a problem. And if I can tell from Hiccup's face, we have a big problem." King said and Stoick quickly reacted. "So what will we do?"

"For now, we will stay out of their way." King said and Astrid smile disappeared. "I'm sorry Astrid but you will have to wait to meet him."

"Can't we help them?" She asked trying to find a way to meet him again. King wanted to say something but he was interrupted when two dragons flew down towards Hiccup, with riders on their backs.


"Alright, everyone keeps practicing!" Hiccup shouted when his mother and sister came.

"What's going on?" Valka asked as she jumped down from Cloudjumper. Hiccup came closer to them so only her mother and sister would hear him.

"Alvredus dragons came from the north." Hiccup said with a serious voice. "Dragons said that dragon child was severely injured. What's even more surprising they said that he has a mate."

"That girl with platinum blonde hair maybe?" Heather said and Hiccup nodded.

"If she is his mate, she will look for help. But she will be afraid to go into a normal village. So if we would offer help and saved his life, they would help us against Drago."

"How badly is he wounded?" Valka asked.

"I don't know but if the news reached us this soon, it must be badly. Mom, would you be able to help him heal?" Hiccup said with a spark of hope in his eyes.

"Maybe, Hiccup. Maybe. I'm good at healing dragons, not humans." Valka said. She was not sure about this.

"Don't worry, mom. You will do fine. Besides, when we get back, we will have a new ally and we will deal with other problems then." Heather said.

"Other problems?" Hiccup asked.

"Nothing to worry about darling. Now when do you want to leave?" Valka asked and Hiccup scratched back of his head. "Now?"

"I'm good with it." Heather quickly said and Valka sighed. "Let me guess, you don't want to say it to anyone."

"Mom, Alvredus will say it to the king so he will know where are we. And I bet that Langley will be informed too." Hiccup said and Valka shook her head and smiled. "It's a good thing that I packed myself, isn't it?"

Hiccup and Heather smiled too and they quickly went to their dragons. In a moment Hiccup was in the air and Valka with Heather followed his lead.


"Where are they going?" Stoick asked.

"I have no idea Stoick, they could just.." Agnar was interrupted when doors behind them opened. They turned around and Langley stood there and by his look, he was running quite a while.

"What it is, Langley?" Agnar asked and Langley quickly said. "Where are Haddocks?"

"They just left on their dragons, why?"

"Alvredus just told me, dragon child was severely wounded by Drago. I think that they are heading to the north!"

"Let them go Langley." King calmly said which surprised Langley.

"What? They are heading north! We must go after them!"

"Calm down Langley. Hiccup was there several times. They will be okay." Agnar said and Langley wanted to protest but Agnar continued. "Look I know that you worry about Heather, but it is not different from a situation when she is heading into a battle. And by my opinion battle is more dangerous then north. So we will all wait for them and luckily they will be back with a new ally."

Langley calmed down and nodded.

"What is in the north that you are so worried Langley?" Astrid asked before Stoick.

"You can freeze to death in a daylight." Agnar answered to her question. "Astrid, they have dragons and Hiccup knows what is he doing. I promise you that when he will return from there you can meet him properly. In a meantime, Langley and I will show everyone how are things working here. Also if anyone will be interested Langley can train your own dragons and it will boost our trust towards all of you in this war. Is that clear to everyone?" Agnar asked and they all nodded.

"Fine, we have more important things to do than standing here and worry about Haddock family."
