WARNING: TALKING, STATUE TOOTHLESS IN THIS CHAPTER, you have been warned.
Chapter Seven: Heaven's Light and Hellfire
Hiccup walked around the balcony when Toothless, Tuffnut, and Hikari rushed up.
"Hey, hey!" Toothless called out. "There he is!"
Everyone then cheered, but Hiccup was a bit more reserved.
"You kicked that tin-plated buffoon with great force." Tuffnut said with a smile.
"The nerve of him." Toothless said. "Snooping around here trying to steal your girl."
"My girl?" Hiccup asked skeptically.
"Iris." Hikari said. "Fiery red hair. Works with a white Night Fury. Remember?"
"Boy I do!" Toothless said with a mischievous smile. "Way a go lover boy!"
"Lover boy?" Hiccup asked with a laugh. "No, no, no."
"Oh, don't be so modest." Hikari said like a proud mother.
"Look," Hiccup said. "I appreciate what you're all trying to do, but let's not fool ourselves. Scariest boy in Paris, remember? I don't think I'm her type."
Hiccup then went to his model of Paris and looked at a loving pair on a bridge.
So many times out there
I've watched a happy pair
Of lovers watching in the night.
They had a kind of glow around them.
It almost looked like heaven's light.
Hiccup then looked at the miniature of himself.
I knew I'd never know
That warm and loving glow,
Though I might wish with all my might.
No face as hideous as my face
Was ever meant for heaven's light.
Hiccup then began to feel a little hopeful and began carving a new miniature.
But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
And kissed my face without a trace of fright.
I dare to dream that she might even care for me,
And as I ring these bells tonight…
My cold dark tower seems so bright…
I swear it must be heaven's light . . .
Hiccup finished making the miniature of Ishizu and set it next to himself as he rang the bell for evening mass.

In Alvin's home, he looked out of the window. For some dark reason, he couldn't get the gypsy girl Iris out of his mind.
Beata Maria, you know I am a righteous man.
Of my virtue I am justly proud.
Beata Maria, you know I'm so much purer than
The common, vulgar, weak, licentious crowd.
Then tell me Maria, why I see her dancing there.
Why her smoldering still scorch my soul.
I feel her! I see her!
The sun caught in her fire hair
Is blazing in me out of all control!
It then appeared to Alvin as if Iris was dancing within the fire, like some sort of demon.
Like fire! Hellfire! This fire in my skin.
This burning desire is turning me to sin.
Alvin then stroked his face with the scarf Iris had given him that day when several men in red robes appeared.
It's not my fault! I'm not to blame!
It is the gypsy girl, the witch, who set this flame!
It's not my fault! If in God's plan,
He made the devil so much stronger than a man…!
Protect me, Maria! Don't let this siren cast her spell.
Don't let her fire sear my flesh and bones.
Destroy this Iris and let her taste the fires of hell,
Or else let her be mine and mine alone…
As Alvin thought, Bucket suddenly walked in.
"Minister Alvin, the gypsy has escaped." Bucket explained.
"What?" Alvin asked in shock.
"She's nowhere in the cathedral." Bucket went on. "She's gone."
"But how?" Alvin asked in disbelief. "I… Never mind! Get out you idiot!"
Bucket then left as Alvin turned back to the fire.
"I'll find her." Alvin said darkly. "I'll find her if I have to burn down all of Paris!"
Hellfire! Dark fire! Now gypsy it's your turn!
Choose me or your fire! Be mine or you will burn!
Alvin then got a pang of conscience as a small part of him noted that Iris hadn't actually done anything wrong.
God have mercy on her…
God have mercy on me…
But she will be mine or she… Will… BURN…!
Alvin then knelt down in exhaustion as the fire in the fire place went out.
Chaos dose not own The Hunchback of Notre Dame or HTTYD but she owns Iris and Twilight the Snow Fury, Hikari belongs to WingBladeWeaver1357, and Drew belongs to RedDiEnd.
