"What else have you discovered, Hanna?" A deep and dream-like voice said. Hiccup found it oddly hard to concentrate on whoever Hanna was talking to. He felt like he was going to sleep when he heard the strange voice.

Hiccup had followed Hanna through tunnels that he wasn't aware of until now. They were different from the other tunnels. Instead of a brown, smooth tunnel it was jagged and black, like obsidian.

"The new boy has guests. His friends found him, they plan to help fight against you! You cannot control them, they are only human!" Hanna said, echoes of adoration remnant in her voice. Hiccup could tell right off why she seemed to look up to him; he is a master hypnotist, and she's an amateur.

"Don't be so quick to think that, my dear. I have been... experimenting with dragons." Hiccup peeked out a little, and saw a man who had to be at least 10 feet tall, with ivory tusks coming from the sides of his face, with icy blue skin and strange long feather-like protrusions coming from his head. He had bloodshot, winter blue eyes that could drill a whole to the surface if he looked at the cavern's ceiling.

But that wasn't the end of it. Behind him, dragons began to come from the shadows of every sort. They all looked off, with a blank look in their eyes, yet they looked around, as if they still had some form of emotion.

"They are controlled by me, but in a more... hypnotizing sort of way." He chuckled, proud of his collection of hypnotized dragons. Hanna smiled in utter adoration.

"Wonderful dear." Hanna laughed delicately in return. It was rather sickening, seeing dragons being treated like that.

Hiccup started bolting back to the main tunnels, desperate to tell someone what he found. He was suddenly halted by two pairs of hands, pulling him onto the ground. He saw the typhoomerang man and the gronkle man hovering above him.

"You too?! What, is everyone with this guy?!" Hiccup said, trying to squirm out of their grips. He shot a fire ball square at the gronkle's face, who stumbled back, keeping one hand firmly on Hiccup.

Hiccup breathed in deeply, preparing to unleash a huge fireball that would free him, but before he could make a spark, he felt something hit him on the head, and he was out like a light.


Hiccup woke up to having water poured on his face, strapped to a chair with streaks of ice.

"Well, well, well... what do we have here..." The same deep and mind-warping voice echoed through the room. "The night fury shrimp I've been hearing of..." He approached Hiccup, looking at him closely.

"You don't look like that much..." He tauntingly laughed. Hiccup narrowed his eyes, gritting his teeth which sharpened as fire threatened to come flying out from the back of his throat.

The strange man looked at him intensely, his eyes piercing Hiccup's like a diamond spear through yak flesh. Hiccup's eyes widened, feeling everything slip out of reality as he heard warping words that told him to sleep. His pupils began turning to slits as he roared in resistance, making any noise possible.

"You will obey me..." He threateningly echoed into Hiccup's mind.

He roared, closing his eyes as the clouds of control rolled over him. He shook his head like a wild animal, aware he was losing the battle.

Suddenly, it all stopped as he heard a loud thump. He opened his eyes, and saw Kayden and Toothwing tackling the man.

"RUN!" Kayden yelled at Hiccup, who promptly sprinted, Toothwing and Kayden following.


Sorry for no updates! I've been a bit busy. More chapters soon!
