Please leave a review! If you haven't noticed I've changed the cover image of this story. I don't own the image, but I thought that it would fit this story well. I've also changed the cover images to the other stories (Scars, Broken, and Mistake). So check them out and tell me what you think of the new images (I don't own them). Also, I feel like I should write one more story. Earlier this week I finished all of the chapters for this story. I like how I ended it, but I felt like that wasn't a proper final ending to this series (you'll see what I mean). I've already written the first two chapters of the story so...it's a thing!"How to Train Your Dragon: A New Dawn"! Can't quit give you the summary just yet; it'll ruin Change.

Chapter Ten: To the Beast's Lair

The Roman men brought Hiccup and the others into what remained of their village; the fire that had burned most of it away had finally been put out. As they passed by the destroyed buildings the villagers looked at them; more so glared at them. "Um, why do your fellow villagers look like they want to kill us?" Hiccup asked.

"De ce colegii de sateni arata ca vor sa ne omoare?" Luna translated.

"Satul nostru a fost jefuit de unde provin vikingii de câteva ori," the man explained, "Nu ţineţi cont de de dragon ai nevoie de a se concentra pe situatia noastra." {Our village has been plundered by Vikings a few times. Ignore dragon lovers need to focus on our situation.}

"Nici de triburile noastre sunt de spolierea tip," Luna tried to explain to him, "Poporul meu mai ales nu sunt complet Viking." {Neither of our tribes are the plundering type. My people especially are not fully Viking.}

"Linişte!" the man stopped in front of a somewhat intact building, "Suntem aici." {Quiet! We are here.} He pulled open the door and motioned for them to enter. As they did Hiccup and the others noticed that it looked like a Meeting Hall, what was left of one. In front of them was a long wooden table. At the end of the table was a large man dressed in Roman armor. He was looking at map. "Celsus, domnule!" the man made a motion to his friends and they forced Hiccup and the others to their knees, "Sa-ti aduc vikingilor care poate vorbi cu dragoni." {Celsus, sir! I bring you Vikings who can speak with the dragons.}

Celsus looked at the man, an angry scowl on his face. "Gaius," Celsus stood, "Eu nu am timp pentru prostie bancuri! Animalele astea nu vorbesc! Şi cum îndrăzneşti să aduceţi vikingilor în satul meu!" {I do not have time for your silly jokes! Those beasts do not talk! And how dare you bring Vikings into my village!}

"Doesn't sound like this is going well," Hiccup whispered to Luna.

"It isn't," Luna confirmed.

"Luna," Hiccup eyed the two men who carried away in a small argument, "Tell them that I've trained a Night Fury."

"Okay," Luna cleared her throat and cut in, "Acest om de lângă mine a pregatit unul dintre dragoni negru ca atacurile satul dvs."

The two men looked at her; surprised to hear her so blatantly. "Indraznesti sa vorbeasca limba la noi femeie!" Celsus growled at her. {You dare speak your tongue to us woman!}

"Luna," Halvard scooted closer to his daughter.

"I'm fine," she told him, "Este adevarat! Nu numai că, dar a încheiat un an de trei sute de război între oameni şi dragoni." {It is true! Not only that, but he also ended a three hundred year war between his people and dragons.}

"Ce este acest "quot noapte de furie"?" Celsus asked. {What is this "Night Fury"?}

"O noapte de furie este numele pe care am dat la Dragonul Negru care vă atacă sat," Luna told him. {A Night Fury is the name we have given to the black dragon that attacks your village.}

"Dacă da apoi ne arata ca acest dragon," Celsus demanded.

Luna turned to Hiccup, "Uh, he said to show him Toothless."

"Uh...that might be hard to do," Hiccup chuckled.

"Why?" Luna asked.

"Remember when I said that I ran into the dragon that burned their village?" Hiccup reminded her.

"Yeah?"

"She, well, took Toothless," Hiccup explained.

"Wonderful," Luna turned back to Celsus, "Balaurul ca atacurile satul dvs, Reaper's moartea, isi lua dragon înainte de a veni aici."

"O intrerupi, suficient de acest lucru!" Celsus roared, "Le ucide acum!" {Argh, enough of this! Kill them now!}

"Nu! Nu! Aşteptaţi!," Luna begged, "L-sa mergem unde Reaper's moarte vieti. Am'll aduce inapoi dragonul lui şi arată că ne spun adevarul! Vă rugăm, domnule!" { No! No! Wait! L-Let us go where The Reaper's Death lives. We'll bring back his dragon and show you that we speak the truth! Please, sir!}

Celsus glared at Luna. "Satul nostru nu este la indemana't nu atacuri," he informed her, "Multe vieti au fost pierdute la fiara. De ce ar trebui să am încredere în cuvintele tale?"{Our village isn't the only one it attacks. Many lives have been lost to this beast. Why should I trust your words?}

"Deoarece aceasta poate fi singura ta sansa de a termina de singe si salva sute de vieti," Luna said, "Cred despre el; un grup de oameni veniti aici spune ca pot vorbi cu dragoni. Ce sansa de care se întâmplă?" {Because this may be your only chance to end the bloodshed and save hundreds of about it; a group of people come here saying that they can speak to dragons. What are the chances of that happening?}

Celsus thought this over; it could really be his only chance. "Fin," he agreed, "Unii dintre oamenii mei vor merge cu tine doar te tin de la dragonul lui aici; dar dacă ne atace cu ea atunci'll toate fi ucise pe loc." {Fine. Some of my men will go with you just keep you from running his dragon here; but if you attack us with it then you'll all be killed on the spot.}

"Vă mulţumim," Luna sighed. {Thank you.}

"Do I dare ask how that went?" Astrid wondered.

"He will let us go to where The reaper's Death lives and get Toothless back," Luna explained, "When we do Hiccup will get to show that he has trained a Night Fury. But if we attack them they'll kill us."

"What reason do we have to attack them?" Halvard asked.

"Where does this...Reaper's Death live anyways?" Hiccup asked.

"De unde are Reaper's moarte live?" Luna asked Celsus.

"Pe o insula nu departe de aici," Celsus told her, "Veţi fi luate de acolo cu barca. Există o mare munte pe care insula. Vom presupune că el trăieşte în interior cu negru cu dragoni." {On an island not far from here. You will be taken there by boat. There is a large mountain on that island. We assume that it lives inside it with the black dragons.}

"It lives on an island not far from here," Luna explained to them.

"Alright," Hiccup sighed, "From what I've already seen I can tell that this won't be easy, but we need to try." The men pulled Hiccup and the others up off the floor.

"Menţineţi-o!" Celsus held up a hand, "Nu toate va merge. Doar baiatul care pretinde a fi antrenat de o fata cu parul negru va merge. Celelalte două vor rămâne aici!"

"Looks like just me and you are allowed to go Hiccup," Luna said, "My dad and Astrid have to stay here."

"I'm getting tired of be separated from you," Astrid frowned.

"I'll be okay," Hiccup promised, "I trained Drago's Bewilderbeast...I can train this one too."

"That does not make me feel better," Astrid held his hand. Hiccup gave her a heart warming smile. Astrid knew that smile; she's seen it hundreds of times before. He would always give her that smile when he about to do something life- threatening. Astrid has secretly grown to hate that smile.

The Roman men lead Hiccup and Luna out of the building. "Be careful," Astrid whispered to Hiccup.

O

Hiccup and Luna stood at the deck of a Roman fishing boat. They had sailed for about thirty minutes now; the Roman crew kept a sharp eye on them. Hiccup walked over to Luna; who stood alone at the front of the boat. "I'm sorry," she said as he walked up.

"For what?" he asked.

"For getting you and Astrid caught up in this," Luna sighed.

"It's not your fault," Hiccup told her.

"Hiccup," Luna looked at him, "What if we can't do this? My people have never seen a dragon anything like this."

"We just have to try," Hiccup placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "We just have to be brave."

"Is that the type of mind set you need to be Chief?" she asked, "You know sometimes I wish that I wasn't the first born of my family. I don't know if I can be Chief."

"I thought the same way," Hiccup looked out to the sea, "But I learned that sometimes you just have to grab life by the reins and hold on. It's like riding a dragon. At first you'll feel like your going to drop dead from the stress and unfamiliar territory, but soon you'll get the hang of it."

Luna smiled, "I'm finding it hard to believe that I'm older than you."

Hiccup chuckled, "Yeah well..."

Luna stared at the wooden floor, "Uh, Hiccup...there is something I need to tell you; about Raven and her eggs."

"What?" Hiccup looked at her, concerned.

"Suntem aici!" {We are here!}

Hiccup and Luna looked ahead. A large island appeared before them. "That is quit the mountain," Hiccup stared up at the huge mountain.

"He said that it might live inside a cave system inside the mountain," Luna told him, "I hope it's not as big as the mountain."

"Yeah well...big dragon," Hiccup readied himself for what was to come, "means big home to live in." He turned to look at her, "You ready?"

Luna took a deep breath, "Yeah."
