Hey guys! sorry this is a pretty short chapter, there will be at least one more, but that's just the way this turned out. So the last quote, reference, whatever, was from BBC Merlin :) P.S. Please don't kill me! D: It won't end well. Restrain! Restrain! Back, back! You...you...well you're not monsters so what do I call you..? Back away you fiends who are out for my blood! That works.

So, in case you're confused

"This is human speech,"

"And this is dragon speech."

Yes, I ended it like that*laughs evilly* I...will...update...as...soon...as...possible...which...is...very...slowly...s...o...r...r...y...;D Two question...Why will my lights go out for a month? And what did Hiccup do to you? When he dies are you going to Valhalla to find him? If so you might want to beat Toothless there because he isn't to happy that Hiccup left him...scratch that he's down right ticked. Though seriously, if yer gonna kill anyone kill Alvin, not the fates. Ok your scaring me...I have a princess, in Scotland to attend to...so yup,see ya*runs away screaming 'Don't kill me!'*

Guest (Great)

They moved him while Hiccup was locked in his room the first night, sorry I didn't make that clearer.

Thanks, glad you like it :) Yup, life is mean but it can be nice. I mean, we're all still alive, so that's great!


Hiccup rolled to his left as the sword came down, plunging itself into the earth and quickly got to his feet. Alvin pulled his sword out and swung at Hiccup again. He raised his gauntleted arm, contacting with a muffled thump before sliding away, leaving Hiccup unharmed. He took advantage of Alvin's momentary shock and kicked him in the back of the knee causing him to fall to the ground and giving Hiccup enough time to get Inferno back. "Hiccup, behind you!"

Hiccup ducked as Toothless roared and felt the wind of the blade just missing his head, "Thanks bud."

"I've had enough of ya 'iccup. If ya ain't gonna train my dragons then ya ain't worth keepin'. Not ya or yer dragon." Alvin brought his sword down on Hiccup's so hard it sent him to his knees, and would have broken the sword had it not been made of Gronkle Iron, sending the sword across the square leaving Hiccup weaponless, "Say good bye 'iccup. You failed."

He brought his sword down again and Hiccup's eyes went wide. He had failed. He had failed Berk, he had failed his father, he failed Astrid. As the sword came down an earsplitting roar filled the air and the sky was lit up with a brilliant blueish yellow. The light came down and struck Alvin, diverting his aim. Though it didn't divert it enough, the sword missed the mark of the chest…but only to strike the abdomen. Alvin roared in pain from the bolt of lightning while Hiccup let out a cry of shock. A purplish black dragon landed a foot away from Hiccup as he fell to his hands, one holding where the sword had been thrust.

Alvin stumbled next to Toothless who sent him flying with a thwack of his tale. He collided with a nearby building stunning him, and he laid on the ground unmoving for several long moments, until the sound of shaky breaths drew him out.

He stood and looked at Hiccup, who had not moved from his previous posture and he could see the sword still sticking out, the kid is breathing his last breaths. The Skrill rushed away from Hiccup to free Toothless and Alvin moved in to watch him die. He laughed as he watched Hiccup die, "I'll finally be rid of ya."

Hiccup looked up, a feral anger in his eyes, "Not, yet!" He growled as he suddenly grabbed the sword in his abdomen and pulled it out, lunging at Alvin. There was the sickening sound of metal tearing through flesh and Alvin found himself lying on the ground…with the sword through his right shoulder and plunged deep in the ground. He looked at Hiccup, the pain not yet settling with the adrenaline running threw his system, "H-how..?"

He looked at where the sword had once been; however, he saw now blood, but the glinting of metal, "I'm not as weak as you think I am."

"Yet ya can't ever kill yer worst enemy." Alvin snarled, the pain settling in.

Hiccup shook his head, "Not all of us are meant to kill, there are plenty of those in the world, but that doesn't make me weak. In my true weakness I find ways to make myself stronger. When I lacked the approval of my father and village, I found Toothless and learned how to ride him. When I lacked physical strength, I worked in the forge. When I thought I had lost to someone smarter, I trained myself to think ahead and predict other's thoughts. And when I lacked an adequate shield, I made one that will bend and move as I do. I may be weak, but I always find ways to make myself stronger."

"If ya think yer so smart, then I'm gonna have to prove ya wrong." Alvin reached over and pulled the sword from his shoulder, fighting back the wave of pain that came from the action.

He swung at Hiccup, rather feebly, and was easily blocked. With a quick movement Hiccup dislodged the sword from Alvin's grasp and had him pinned against a house, "I'll give you one more chance, Alvin, to leave. Go now or I'll order the other dragon riders to destroy your fleet and whatever men are on board."

"What happened to ya wouldn't kill." Alvin jibbed, trying to move his right arm but failing. His sleeve was becoming very red and he had lost all feeling in it.

Hiccup glared and pressed the sword a bit harder so that it just pricked the skin on his neck, "A chief protects his own, something I've learned from my father, and it's something you know too. Even if your interpretation is saving your own hide, mine is protecting my village. And if that means death, whether that means yours or mine, then so be it."

Alvin looked into Hiccup's eyes, they were stone cold, devoid of all emotion except anger and hatred only withheld by his sense of logic and what was right. He pushed the sword away and kicked Hiccup, then make like a mad man to the docks.

Hiccup climbed on Toothless and they took to the air, watching the Outcasts retreat. He saw Berkians driving them away with everything they had, and the dragon riders and dragons herding them to the docks. Hiccup watched Alvin run to the docks and board the lead ship, turning around only to give Hiccup a hate filled glare, "I'll be back dragon boy, and don't expect to live. Neither ya nor yer dragon."

"Don't count on it." Hiccup growled then whispered, "You know what to do bud."

"Of course, you only told me a hundred times!" Toothless barked then let out several growls and roars. Several of the dragons began chasing after the ships, though staying well out of firing range for either side.

Hiccup and Toothless circled back around and landed at the docks, the Skrill landing next to him, "Uh, thanks for the save back there…Brenna? I think that's what the Snaptrapper called you."

"It is indeed, and you are welcome."

"I have to ask, why did you save me?" Hiccup asked running his hand through his hair.

"Why did you not put me back in the ice? The reasons are the same. Now, if you don't mind me asking a question…how can you understand me, us?"

Hiccup chuckled, "Toothless found a translator stone…so, yeah."

"Hiccup!" A very excited shriek pierced the air and Hiccup was nearly tackled off of Toothless.

"Astrid." He greeted in return, "Made it."

She looked at his goofy grin for a second then slugged him in the shoulder, "You could have died!"

"Ow! I'm a little hurt here, Alvin doesn't play nice."

"Did you not hear what I just said?"

"No, I heard, but it's an occupational hazard. What are you goin to do about it?" Hiccup shrugged.

"Hiccup!"

"What? Is that the word of the day or something?" He asked looking around before getting pulled into a bone crushing hug, "Need…to…breath!"

"Oh, sorry. You're alive! I thought…well that doesn't matter, but you're alive!" Stoic cried again.

Hiccup nodded, "Yes, very much alive." He got off of Toothless and black spots filled his vision and he stumbled forward.

"Son!" Stoic reached out and caught his son before he hit the dock, "Out of the way, where's Gothi?!"


The first thing that greeted Hiccup's vision was a black snout with acid green eyes, "You're awake!"

He was then licked head to toe, "Ewe, gross, stop it! You know that doesn't was out!" He yelled half-heartedly as he shoved the snout away, "What happened?"

The door to his room opened, "Ya passed out from exhaustion, were out for a good two days. Had yer father and Toothless worried sick. The poor dragon refused to leave yer side."

"How is it that I'm a poor dragon if I refuse to leave his side? Isn't my choice?"

Hiccup rubbed his snout, "I love you."

"Of course you do, why wouldn't you?"

Hiccup lightly smacked him on the snout, "Son, you're alright. How long had you gone without proper sleep?"

Hiccup chuckled and looked at his dad, "Well…how do you want me to answer that?"

"How about at the beginning," A new voice, Astrid's, broke in, "Like, how you were kidnapped."

"You sure you want to listen to that story? I mean, it's as boring as watching a tree grow."


Ok, I've just got to ask...how many of you actually thought I was going to kill Hiccup? Be truthful now, I want to know...did I get ya?*Snickers evilly* I don't care if ya'll hate me for that, I'm rather proud of it. The gods don't hate Hiccup, we just like tormenting him :P :) :D XD *rolls on the floor laughing* I'm signing off now before I do anything else stupid that could cause my early demise...if I haven't already...
