Valka

We held a meeting immediately. We decided to send out search parties. We sent Fishlegs out to the areas were the black holes appeared to see if they could find out where they came from. Astrid refused to eat or sleep. She'd head out on Stormfly to search, return after a few hours to see if there was any news, then fly out again.

The dragons were also frantic without Toothless. They all went out searching before we even thought of having a meeting. They only returned to pick up their owners so they could search together.

The only reason I wasn't out searching with everyone else was because Berk needed a leader. With Hiccup gone, Astrid and I were the next best thing, and Astrid was looking frantically.

Hiccup was missing for nearly two days when I finally convinced Astrid to stop, eat, and sleep. When she was settled, I hopped onto Cloudjumper, and together we shot through the skies, looking for any signs of Hiccup.

"You'll never find him."

I turned and saw the cloaked figure from earlier. She seemed to be standing on a platform made of shadows.

"You." I spat. I pointed my staff and got into fighting position. "Who are you? Show yourself, you coward."

She laughed, then pulled down her hood, revealing a beautiful woman with black puffy hair.

"Hello, Valka is it? I'm Gothel. Mother Gothel."

"What have you done to my son?"

"I had a child once."

"Answer me!"

"She abandoned me. It seems your son has done the same."

"You're lying."

"Am I?" She waved her hands and an image of Hiccup flying away on Toothless came. "Whoop, there he goes. Kids are always so selfish, don't you think?"
"That can't be Hiccup."

"I assure you, it can, and it is. I recommend you find Berk a new chief."

I blinked and she was gone.

Eugene

I paced. What else could I do? Max was out looking. So were the royal guards. The King and Queen were frantic. The kingdom was falling apart in sadness.

If only I had come home just a little earlier. Rapunzel was at breakfast not even half an hour earlier. If I had been there to protect her…

But now there's nothing I can do.

"Prince Eugene, this letter came for you!" Alfie said, running up to me.

"Does it look like have time for this right now?"

"Sir the envelope says it's from the general of the flower."

I snapped my head up. Flower? I snatched the letter from him and tore through it.

Eugene,

You don't know me, but know you're like me. It's time for you to take your place in this world. Generations of men and women from our line have done what you are meant to do. Guard the Queen of Spring.

You must be confused. I know I was. Let me explain. You are an orphan. Everyone in our line is. It's a way of training. All heroes must suffer. I know it made me suffer all these years knowing what you were going through. You see Eugene, I am your Father. I also went through the training.

Our ancestor was the general to the great Queen Fiola of Spring. The eldest child takes that legacy. You were my eldest and only.

At this point I was ready to tear the letter into tiny little pieces and scold Alfie for giving me junk. In till I glanced over the paragraph.

Queen Fiola's spirit is occasionally reborn into a host. She is taking her throne once more in the form of a girl called Rapunzel. Rapunzel will be the new queen of spring. I will be her general. And when I pass, you will take my place.

You must protect her, Eugene. The world depends on her, her brothers, and sister.

In a few days, I'll send something else to help prepare you for your duties. I don't know what you've been doing all these years, but know that no matter what, I'm proud of you. I know your mother would be too.

General of Spring,

Flynn Rider

Fergus

I stood next to Elinor as we watched DunBroch get farther and farther away. We were sailing to Berk. According to Elinor, the man who had taken Merida was wearing their style of clothing. Stoick had better have some answers.

It had been a while since he had last spoken with the chief of Berk. Back when Elinor was organizing Merida's wedding, he knew she had spoken with him about his son as a possible engagement, but Stoick had refused.

That's why I couldn't understand what Stoick would want with Merida. That is, if he was the one who had her taken. Either way, Stoick should be able to help. And we needed help.

I sighed and turned to go below. It was a seven day trip. I might as well get comfy.

Bunny

I was a little surprised to receive the call from North. We just had gotten one a year ago. At least this time it wasn't right before Easter.

When I came in Sandman and Tooth were already there. I didn't see Jack anywhere. That didn't surprise me, he was always late.

"Good, you're here." North said, concern in his voice. "I'm worried about Jack."

A question mark formed over Sandy's head.

"Yeah, he's always late." Tooth added.

"I sent him on a mission that should've taken an hour at most- yesterday! Then Moony showed me this." We all looked at the moonlight as it rippled, showing an image of Jack getting tackled by a bear that radiated death.

Tooth gasped. Sandy looked concerned.

I turned to North. "You think that bear took Jack?"

"Maybe."

"But what is it? Where did it come from? Why would they want Jack?" Tooth asked.

We all looked at the moon. No response.

North sighed. "Looks like we're on our own for this one. We need to locate that source of darkness. We could have another war on our hands."

We all nodded in agreement. This was not going to be pretty.
