The two friends screamed like there was no tomorrow, as something, a dragon, vanquished the light of the campfire. Without the fire, they couldn't see, only their dragons. The Deadly Shadow had shot up instantly, and rushed over to cover the two Viking with his wings. From within, Stormfly could be heard growling, as the 'something' paced around them, cloaked in darkness.

Another growling started from outside, and as the two teens huddled in the darkness, the noise grew louder, as if…

The Deadly Shadow gave off three warning fires, to show that he knew exactly where the dragon was stalking, as it grew ever closer. The Deadly Shadow roared again, even though this time it sounded like a scream. The dragon didn't stop advancing, as it suddenly grew quiet.

"Oh, I wish Hiccup was here, he would know what to do! He can talk to dragons and everything, and we are too afraid to even look at which type it is!" whispered Fishlegs in despair, typical of him, to always see the negative side of things.

"Wait a minute, wha-?"

Camicazi didn't get to finish, as the Deadly Shadow shot its poisonous darts at the figure. Bulls Eye. The dragon gave a pained screech, as it limped off, then shot into the sky. It was gone. They were safe. For now.

"Is it gone?" asked Fishlegs, unsure if they were in the clear, making Camicazi roll her eyes.

"It is, the dragons have gone calmer. Now will you help me fix this up and light a new fire?" said Camicazi, crawling out of Shadow's wings, making her way over to the scattered branches that used to be a fire. Fishlegs did as he was told, getting up and picking their sleeping stuff, sorting it out, jumping at every little sound.

"Oh will you quite that!" Camicazi said as Fishlegs shrieked at the sound of an owl, shrieking in the mountainside.

"It really doesn't he- what's this?" Camicazi said, stopping half way as she found a scale. It was triangular, and as Camicazi looked at it closely, she could see it was clack, that tinged slihtly to dark blue. She stroked it, and as Fishlegs lit the fire, she could see it had a little bit of blood coating the edge. Then realization hit her. It must have fallen out when the shot had hit it. Fishlegs had come over, and breathed as soon as he saw the scale.

"What dragon do you think it belongs to?" he finally asked.

"No idea. Hiccup would know if he was- never mind,"

"I know, but there isn't anything we can do about it Cami, just to keep moving on,"

"Yeah, I know. It's just… we wouldn't be on this adventure if it weren't for Hiccup!" Camicazi confessed, a bit experated.

"Yeah, but Hiccup wouldn't want us to dwell on it,"

"Your right," Camicazi replied, tucking the scale into her pocket for noow, until it came into further use.

"I didn't recognise the colour, or shape, and I don't know many dragons, but it was to big for a Vampire Dragon, and Darkbreathers only live in the ocean, so what is left? The aren't many Windwalker's either," she continued, going through all the dragon she knew, that Hiccup had taught her.

"That is basically all I know too. We better get to bed anyway, and quickly or else we will NEVER be able to get to the island. Our dragons can keep guard if something happens," Fishlegs said, helping Camicazi up.

"Good plan,"

And with that the teens went to the sleeping bags, preparing for the 2nd night away from home. Once they got into their makeshift beds, they closed their eyes, even though sleep didn't take them until late at night.


Toothless licked his master's forehead, desparatley hoping for it to help him, but it didn't make any difference. The poor dragon had barely understood what was going on, but caught the gist that his master was in a life threatening situation. So the little emerald dragon had been looking over the boy ever since this hut had become his home.

Everyone was frantically trying to care for Hiccup, not that anything would help him anyway, just keep him alive. Wodensfang sat beside him on the opposite bed leg, not that Toothless paid him any attention. The little brown dragon was also driven to extreme worrying, as this wasn't what he thought would happen. Indeed the Wodensfang believed that Hiccup would save all of the dragons, and everyone had celebrated that night in peace, without any worries, but in fact they weren't all at peace, as the atmoshpere beared signs of anything but rest.

So the two dragons sat there over Hiccup, as day turned into night, without leaving the young king, like two guardians protecting a priceless treasure. Old Wrinkly had to bring in fish for them, or they would never leave Hiccup, even when they themselves were starving.

The Windwalker on the other hand, had to stay outside most of the time, and he only went out when he was reassured that Hiccup was okay with Toothless and Wodensfang. Even then he sat right next to the door, like a security guard before the main bodyguards, and only let people who he knew in, or at least people that the people he knew in, if that made any sense. Anyhow, you needed 'special passes' to get in, which was a scent Windwalker recognised that was good.

So all of Hiccup's dragons had faithfully guarded him, for as long as they could, until they knew that it was too late, even though they tried not to think about the 'what ifs'. So they were like a babysitter when Old Wrinkly had to leave to tend to the other Viking's injuries. When he came back Wodensfang would give the report of how Hiccup and faired, even though it was usually the same.

"Oh, he just started and finished a new nightmare, but his fever has decreased ever so slightly,"

"His nightmare finished, but it seemed worse this time. He mumbled a bit in his sleep, but I couldn't catch anything but 'no', so, yes,"

"It hasn't finished since yesterday, and I am worried this one is never ending,"

Yes, the only real good news was when Hiccup's nightmares had been, 'paused', at least for the moment, so the poor king could get some real rest and recover from his fever.

The Wodensfang had also realized that instead of an infection, the cut seemed to have a bruise colour or effect, which deemed odd to him. It should have had a bright red glow, instead of a blue/purple bruise.

It was just all very peculiar to the elderly dragon, and he didn't like the message it was sending.

So all in all, everyone was very worried about Hiccup, and why shouldn't they? History did have a nasty habit of repeating itself, and this could be Hiccup the Second all over again, without his father killing him. That was what the majority of people were thinking, the people who didn't know Hiccup personally. Those who were close knew how often the young King had cheated death, and they were convinced he would make it through this time, no matter what doubt was surrounding them.

"The island! I SEE IT CAMI I SEE IT! We made it!" this made Camicazi bolt upright like she had been slapped in the face with an ice cod hand. She instantly looked to where Fishlegs was 'enthusuastically' pointing (let's face it, that was an understatment!), and her face lit up with pure joy at the fact that they had finally made it, after several hourse of flying. Basically two days of voyaging on dragon back, with two stops, one that shouldn't even been counted as a stop, just a brief landing.

As soon as her eyes scanned the horizon, a greyish whitish smudge awarded her land thirsty eyes.

"WE DID IT FISHLEGS! YES!"

"Ok ok calm down we haven't even found the flower yet! Woden we haven't even landed! So let's calm down before you get your hopes up to high!"

"Your right, but at least we found the island!"

"Your right about that!"

They were going to keep talking, when shadows seemed to suddenly appear around them, surrounding the group. Before they knew what was happening, they were going down, crashing into the ocean, but not before Fishlegs muttering, well more like screaming.

"More dragons?! What did we do to deserve more?!"

Then, all was black.
