A few days later, all preparations for Beigan's final trial were ready. The entire arena was triple-checked in order to prevent any accident. They also made sure to leave in the arena several weapons, just in case the teen needed them. The place was crowded. Almost everyone was there, but some guards at the watchtowers, Gobber and Hiccup.

The boy understood that his father was only tried to protect him and that's why he accepted to stay away from the arena. The boy was even in a good mood after the talk he had with his father a few days ago.

Gobber noticed it and couldn't help but to smile. He was glad that some of the tension between the boy and his father was gone. Again, he wished he could watch the fight that was about to happen at the arena, but he fully understood that until Stoic got the culprit, there were very few people Stoic trusted the boy to stay with.

Hiccup was promptly obeying all orders from Gobber and he also looked with attention at his father's best friend. The boy decided to watch the man to craft and fix weapons. He might not be able to get near them, but he wasn't forbid to watch when he could. Hiccup made sure to memorize everything, after all he wanted to be able to craft so many good weapons that his father would be very proud of him.

Meanwhile, at the arena, Stoic was feeling a bit relaxed as well. He was somewhat glad that he was able to mend things with his son, but he was still worried something bad might happen and that's why he made some many precautions. He still wanted to break the neck of the person who dared to try hurt his child. But his thoughts were changed when he spotted Beigan entering into the battle field.

Everyone looked with attention at the boy. All of his teammates were there as well. They were a bit disappointed and jealous because they weren't the ones to be chosen, but they didn't hold grudge against their friend.

The teen's entire family was there as well. Astrid looked proudly at her brother. Before going into the arena, he had promised her he would offer that win to her and then he hugged her. Their parents found it to be quite nice of him.

Beigan stood there holding an axe and a shield. His father had told him a few tips of how to kill a monstrous nightmare. First, he had to force the dragon into activating its fire jacket. After that, the safest way to win was to use the shield to block the incoming attacks and keep fleeing from it for about four or five minutes. That fire armor of its is very dangerous but it doesn't last long. So when it got drained of energy, use the best opportunity to get on its back and decapitate it from behind. That's why a sharp axe is necessary to be able to pierce through its hard scales.

The boy felt an adrenaline rush going through his body as he saw the gate in front of him opening. The massive and threatening beast came out of it and it looked like it was pissed off.

As soon as the dragon entered into the arena it spit a huge fireball against the boy who managed to block it with his shield, but he couldn't escape from the knock back effect. He was sent flying a few feet, which made everyone gasp as they watched.

The dragon smirked as he was getting ready for shoot another fireball at the boy, who decided to let the shield on the floor and just with his axe he got up and managed to dodge the attack.

He then threw his axe against the beast and it didn't react in time to defend itself. The axe hit the dragon on its torso and the beast howled in pain. Beigan used this opportunity to run to a wall where several sharp weapons were at display ready to be used. He picked up anther axe and when he turned to the dragon he saw that it used its front paws to remove the axe from its body and he saw that he had wounded the creature.

The dragon then used his fire jacket and rushed towards the boy with the intention of burning him alive. The boy circled the arena to dodge the fireballs the dragon shot at him.

Some minutes later the dragon halted and the fire jacket disappeared. It growled ferociously and flew a bit in the air and tried to crush the boy with its weight. Fortunately, Beigan jumped when the monstrous nightmare was about to hit him.

He then saw his chance as he saw that the dragon seemed to have stuck its paws into the ground and was having some difficulty to take them off it. The teen then quickly climbed the dragon still carrying his axe and he mounted the dragon getting ready to decapitate it.

The audience was really excited to see the boy kill the dragon, but their excitement turned into horror when the monstrous nightmare activated his fire jacket again.

The dragon had received some advice from a man who could understand what it talked. The man had told him to stop coating his body with fire before it get depleted and allow the boy to climb on it and as soon as he was on top of it, it could activate the fire jacket once again to fry the boy and then give the finishing blow.

The dragon couldn't help but to smirk as it heard the boy's screams as the fire burned his body. The dragon then shook its body to make the boy fall on the ground with some flames still consuming part of his clothes and body.

"STOP THE TRIAL! SOMEONE THROW A SPEAR ON THAT MONSTER ALREADY! LET'S GET INSIDE NOW!" Stoic yelled desperately as he picked his own axe and rushed to get inside of the arena along with many other vikings, including Beigan's friends.

Some other were picking up their spears to throw at the dragon, but they were too late. The monstrous nightmare had reached the boy and it used its jaws to bite the boy piercing the armor and carving the teeth into the boy's flesh. The boy's agonizing screams made most of the people who was still watching gasp and yell to the others to help him quickly. But the voice who was most clear was Astrid's as she screamed: "BEIGAN!" then she rushed alongside her mother and father into the arena.

The spears had hit the dragon on the back and the pain made the dragon retract his fire jacket once more and release the boy on the ground. When it saw the several men armed to their teeth and with a hateful expression on its face, the monstrous nightmare flew to the center of the metal cage with the strength it had left and tried to break it, but the metal didn't even bulge.

"What the…" the dragon said as it hit the metal cage with its paws as hard as it could, but it had no success. "What is going on? You promised me you would open the ceiling for me!" The dragon said looking at someone at the crowd. But seeing that he was doing nothing at all the dragon yelled once again: "Don't stay there! Do something! They're going to kill me! I can't use my fire jacket again!"

But the man didn't reply, instead he just threw a spear he had picked alongside the others and threw it with all his strength piercing the dragon's heart. "You…Bastard…" the dragon managed to say before collapsing lifeless on the ground.

Everyone got near of the boy and Sotic tried to take him to the village doctor to see if he could still be saved. But the boy coughed some blood and he could hear his parents calling his name from afar. Astrid managed to run faster than her parents and she reached her big brother.

"I have to take him to the doctor now! I'm really sorry!" Stoic tried to say gently making the little girl aside.

However, for everyone's surprise, Beigan said: "Wait. Don't do this. I don't think I have much time…Astrid come here…"

All viking looked sadly as the boy picked his little sister hand tightly and said: "Astrid…*cough*…Never let your guard down near those things. Never…I want you to know that your brother loves you and I hope you can grow up and…" but he couldn't finish his own sentence. The teen slowly closed his eyes as the grip on his little sister's hand slowly loosened.

"Beigan!" Astrid yelled shaking her big brother's body trying to get any life sign out of him. But it was too late. Astrid's older brother was gone.

The girl cried sorrowfully alongside with her mother, who finally arrived at there alongside her husband who feel on his knees seeing the corpse of his son on Stoic's arms.

Everyone on the op of the arena started to move into the battle ground to take a better look at the boy. The man who had killed the dragon was using all his willpower to not smile at the scene and it was almost painful to keep a saddened face. 'Everything is going as I planned. A small dragon life had to be sacrificed, but what I'll earn will make up for everything.' He thought as he walked with the crowd.
