The cloaked woman was so quick in her attack that she made a clean cut on Hiccup's wrist. The king growled in pain and dropped his black sword right on the snow. The woman gave an amused smile as Hiccup stared at the bright red wound on his wrist.
"Like your father." The woman taunted softly.
Jack growled under his breath, even if he didn't want revenge, he felt warm with anger over that taunt. He didn't know what to do though, all he knew was he could freeze things, make snowballs, and fly. While he thought of what to do though he didn't realize Hiccup jumped on top of the woman and pinned her down, gripping her boney arms tightly, and growling along with the woman's screams of disgust.
"Say it again I dare you!" Hiccup said. When he drew a hidden dagger the woman stopped screaming. Her breathing became softer and seemed weak but she still smirked at Hiccup as the ground around them turned to solid ice.
Jack noticed her ice powers, upon instinct he willed himself to fly. Successfully he flew to both of them, but instead of attacking the woman he got behind his brother and pulled him away from the woman and her original trap of impaling Hiccup from below. Somehow Jack managed to lift his brother out despite his body being frail. Despite Hiccup being practically lifted up in the air by his younger brother he did not struggle much. He looked down to the shiny ice spikes that nearly killed him as his brother carried him. "Thank you, Jack."
Hiccup stared into Jack's worried face. "Don't move." Jack said.
"Hmmm, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe yee be a worthy opponent." The woman said. "But I'll still kill ya!" She hissed.
She pointed her sharp finger to the two brothers slowly. "And dictate this kingdom."
"Ahhh!" She cried.
Before she could say or do anything else a dart launched from below and pierced her leg hard, the cloak could not defend her from that.
The boys silently gasped but Hiccup's eyes widened when he saw the blonde haired woman with the short braid who came out from under.
"Astrid!" Hiccup cried.
Astrid said nothing; she just prepared herself for a second attack.
"It's been too long," the cloaked woman said.
"Too long, but I won't hold back this time," Astrid said.
The cloaked woman yanked the dart out with one hand without a single care, some scarlet drops fell from the tip of the dart and on to the snow. It was then when the woman started to feel the pain in her leg as she growled and ended up on one knee.
Astrid shot another dart for the woman's hand that held the other dart. The dart only scraped the woman's wrist though as she countered the other dart with the one that pierced her leg. Astrid glared as the cloaked woman used her ice powers to cover the dart with ice slowly.
"You can't scare me!" Astrid cried.
The cloaked woman tossed the dart at Astrid. It spun around circles instead of launching like an arrow but it could still hurt her. Before Astrid could act though, she briefly felt a hand on her shoulder. She gasped as she saw Jack jump over her with ease. "Freeze in place!" He yelled.
He held his hands in front of him and unleashed his ice powers which caused the dart to spin around in place in front of them. Jack managed to freeze the dart even more although forcing his power out was making him feel weak in the knees himself, but with a loud growl he pulled through. To Astrid and Hiccup's surprised the dart lost momentum and fell on the snow.
Without saying anything Jack put his hands down and walked towards the woman. Hiccup wanted to say something but he was too full of awe because of his brother's amazing power. Astrid only returned to the boys after she found out Jack returned, but this was more than what she thought she'd see.
Jack did not stir while walking, but the cloaked woman showed no fear. "Yee turned into an ice devil!" She choked. Jack still didn't listen to her spouting out more insults. When he finally got to her he grabbed her neck with both of his hands, there was no emotion in his eyes.
The woman gasped and grabbed his arms with her hands. Ice formed on his arms but she shrieked in fright seeing that Jack was trapping her in solid ice. She could not move her legs and soon even her arms were crushed under solid ice. "Rest," Jack said simply.
"…No." The woman uttered out.
But when she finally realized she was a prisoner of ice, she sighed. Hiccup and Astrid were in shock seeing Jack walk away from a tiny oval of ice that held the cloaked woman.
He turned to them. "Do not execute her, I'll figure out the answers by myself."
Jack turned away again and lifted the ice up with his arms. He began to float in the air again as Astrid and Hiccup ran to him.
"Wait! No!" Astrid cried.
She reached for his leg but Jack let out a kick and floated farther. He sky rocketed far from the castle before anyone could stop him.
"Jack!" Hiccup cried.
Jack flew higher and farther where they could not hurt anyone with their powers, and if they tried Jack could finish it all off. He didn't go to the town and say hello to the villagers, he went far south, to the snow covered mountains.
There was no sound and no one. Jack placed the frozen woman on the snow, and sat down next to her.
He thought that if he escaped his own ice prison she would do the same, but then again he was on a snowy mountain. It took him a few minutes for that conclusion to come to him because he was so indifferent to cold now.
Jack ran down the mountain a little bit to find rocks to break the ice with. He decided to test a smooth black rock that had a lot of pointed ends. He paused for a moment before pressing one of the pointed ends on top of the ice. Nothing, but he pushed harder and growled until he heard small cracking noises.
Jack thought he braced himself but then the entire orb of ice broke apart which knocked Jack back quite a bit especially since he was a light as air. The cloaked woman shuddered at her rude awakening. Jack gulped, a mixture of emotions preventing him to continue with his last minute plan.
The prince did not look the woman in the eye. Her eyes looked so disturbed that they were hard to look at in the first place.
"I'm not going to hurt you, just please tell me why you wanted revenge so much." Jack said.
She said nothing, she just shivered a bit. Jack finally found the strength to stare at the scary woman, who was just curled up hiding her face again except without the cloak. She clawed the snow under her hand.
"Dragons, they used to destroy our homes, when things became out of our control we plotted to use ice Pokémon to freeze them and render them powerless. A girl, who became the future queen, your mother. She was so young and one of the only who protested and made friends with the dragons, she spouted out nonsense."
Jack said nothing.
"But as we used ice types in a war against the dragons." She paused. "Kyurem appeared and eternally froze my comrades, also me. Somehow I defrosted, but I learned so much later that King Stoick." She paused.
"King Stoick…" She said in a more hateful tone. "King Stoick declared Drackiil a dragon kingdom, dragon were on the streets. Children had them as pets."
"He and his lovely queen had to pay." The cloaked woman finished.
Jack placed his foot down in the snow. "I can't remember everything that happened or what my parents did, but the people who died in the dragon massacre couldn't be seen as heroes in the end. The dragons were not mindless beasts. They just needed to be understood, like Hiccup said."
The cloaked woman quickly got up and ran a few steps but stopped breathing deeply. "I am very much frozen in time, I do not believe such things."
The clogs in Jack's head finally started to turn, he had a bit more insight on the curse he and the woman were placed under, but still some questions needed to be asked.
"How old are you?" Jack asked.
The cloaked woman gave a small growl of disgust and ran further away till she was nearly at the edge.
"With my ice powers, I could've slayed every dragon here, but instead I killed and harmed humans, even children." She said.
The cloaked woman took more steps forward, it seemed as if she wanted to get a good view of things but she closed her eyes and let herself slip from the ledge.
Jack only lunged his arms forward and screamed "No!" as she fell. He could've used his power of flight, but he couldn't bring himself to move.
Jack looked down in sadness seeing that justice was served regardless, or that the woman finally found peace.
Hiccup and Astrid rode on a mega Charzard searching for Jack for nearly an hour. When Hiccup nearly lost hope, he found his younger brother on his knees nearly weeping in the snow.
"Jack!" Hiccup cried.
Hiccup and Astrid ran to him. Hiccup gentle placed his hand on Jack's back.
"She jumped." Jack said.
Hiccup an Astrid both gave shocked looks while Jack continued to weep. Hiccup looked down at the icy wind blowing towards the edge of the mountain and went to take a closer look, but the fall was really high.
"Charzard, let's search for her!" Hiccup said.
I was going to originally make this chapter extra long thus finishing it but super long chapters aren't my style. Next chapter will be the epilogue for sure.
