Me: So, happy about the last chapter?
Hope you are.
Thank you for trying to find the Skrill's name for me.
You have more time to find out the names of Toothless's family because this is a chapter that I want to come first.
Now, I hope you have a good time reading this chapter.
No One's POV
It was night time on the verge of darkness. The Hybrids had a lot of energy because they were locked in the cages and they were using it to fly. They would have to stop and rest soon because Hiccup was getting tired.
Toothless glanced behind to see Hiccup blinking, drowsiness in his eyes. Stormfly, who was flying next to Toothless on the left, looked ahead and saw a small island. She pointed it out.
"Toothless, look. A small island where we can stop for tonight," Stormfly said.
Toothless looked ahead and saw the island. Nodding, he flew down to it, leading the others to a landing.
Toothless hunched over so Hiccup wouldn't fall off as he slowly got down. Hiccup yawned and rubbed his eyes with his hands, making him look younger then what he looked like. Toothless nearly swooned at the sight, instead, he just smiled in adoration.
Stormfly and Meatlug couldn't help but nearly go 'aww' at the sight. Hookfang, Barf, Belch, and Sharpshot just smiled.
Toothless gently grabbed Hiccup wrists, pulling them down to stare at the sight of a sleepy Hiccup's face. Toothless smiled. Hiccup did a lot of running and that was starting to show. Hiccup looked at him tiredly.
"Let's get some rest Hiccup."
Hiccup fell against Toothless, weakly wrapping his arms around Toothless's neck and rested his head against Toothless's shoulder. Toothless loved this about Hiccup; when he got tired he acted like a cuddly five-year-old.
This time, Stormfly and Meatlug did go 'aww', even Hookfang, Barf, Belch, and Sharpshot went 'aww'.
Toothless lays down with Hiccup in his arms. The others laid down as well, closing their eyes and falling asleep. Toothless looks down and saw Hiccup had already fallen asleep. Smiling, Toothless closed his eyes and followed.
In the morning, Hiccup wakes up in Toothless's arms. He smiles and slowly moves out of Toothless's hold. Through, that seemed to wake Toothless up as he opened his eyes and blinked at Hiccup, who was now sitting up. Toothless gets up and kissing Hiccup on the cheek, making the boy blush.
Toothless laughs and glances at the other sleeping Hybrids. He snorted and shook his head. Toothless took a deep breath, the only warning Hiccup had to cover his ears before Toothless let out a loud screech.
Stormfly shot up, the spikes on her tail out. Hookfang shot up as well, a little slower then Stormfly. Sharpshot and Meatlug yelped and covered their heads. Barf and Belch ended up knocking each other down to the ground when they both got up at the same time.
Hiccup and Toothless laughed, pointing at the alarmed and now awake Hybrids who were now looking at the two in disbelief.
After their little laughing feast, Toothless and Hiccup caught fish to get the others forgiveness.
While eating, Hiccup looked up at the sun. He saw birds flying across the sky. In the distance, he saw an Island. This Island would be hard to recognize if Hiccup didn't have a good memory, but he did.
Hiccup stood up and walked towards the water, staring at the Island, his fish forgotten as he dropped left it where he was sitting. Toothless saw this and got up, walking over to Hiccup to stare at the Island as well, wondering what it meant to Hiccup.
Stormfly, Meatlug, Hookfang, Barf, Belch, and Sharpshot also got up. They stood behind but still stared.
Toothless glanced at Hiccup. "What's that Island mean to you Hiccup?"
Hiccup didn't look at Toothless, but he did answer to show that he was listening.
"That's the Berserker Island, home to the Berserker Tribe," Hiccup stated.
The Hybrids tensed, now knowing what the Island was called and knowing how dangerous it could be. Berk will always be number one, but the Berserker Island has its own ways of installing fear into Hybrids. Not to say they were afraid, but the knew not to attack Berserker Island unless they have to. The Island got its name for a reason.
"We should leave soon," Bark said.
"Before they come get us," Belch added.
"You idiots, they can't see us from all the way over here," Hookfang said.
"But they could have heard Toothless's screech," Sharpshot pointed out.
"Enough you guys. If they're coming then we can get away easily," Meatlug said.
"Should we just leave now so I won't have to hear anyone of you arguing," Stormfly shot out, glaring at her friends.
"We're not leaving," Hiccup said, narrowing his eyes as he finally glanced behind him. The Hybrids looked at him, confusion in his gaze. Toothless looked at Hiccup, then back at Berserker Island, before looking back at Hiccup.
"There's something there," Toothless stated.
Hiccup looked at Toothless and nodded. "Yes but, more like a group of people who will need help escaping."
Hiccup turned back to stare at the Island. "There's a group of Dragon Souls locked up on the Island. We have to break them out."
"How do you know this," Stormfly asked.
"Camicazi and I overheard Stoick and Bertha talk about it. Not only that, but Dagur tried breaking them out, but was caught and locked up as well. I want to break them out before the Dragon Souls are killed. Dagur won't be because he's the only son of Oswald, but he will be punished. I can't let that happen. Dagur may have bullied me when I was younger and used me as a dagger throwing object, but if he is a Dragon Soul or a person trying to do the right thing for whatever reason he has, I want to break them out before it's too late," Hiccup explained.
Although he was angry that Dagur used Hiccup as a target point, Toothless was in awe of the fact that Hiccup was willing to save someone that put him in pain.
"Hiccup," Toothless said, "Why do you want to save someone that put you through pain?"
"Because, I know how it feels, and I don't want anyone to go through that pain," Hiccup answered.
Once again, Toothless was in awe. Hiccup was filled with so many surprises that trying to find them all makes him so mysterious, and hot. Toothless blushed at the thought and thanked the Gods that Hiccup was looking away.
Shaking his head to clear it, Toothless gave a sharp nod.
"Right," Toothless said. He looked at the others. "Come on guys. We can't let Dragon Souls suffer for their choice of being who they are."
The Hybrids let out roars of agreement. Hiccup laughed.
If he could do that once he unlocked his power, roaring like a Night Fury would be the first thing he would do.
Hiccup peaked out from behind the tree.
It was still morning, meaning that most of the Vikings were sleeping, but this was the Berserker Tribe. Meaning they had to be careful. Hiccup looked behind him and at Toothless. The other Hybrids were behind them.
Hiccup looked away and up at the hilltop. The cells were kept at the top of the hill because any escapees would have to track through the village or through the forest to escape. Hiccup looked up a guard on top of a watchtower. He watched as the guard turned around, his back facing Hiccup and the Hybrids.
Taking a deep breath, Hiccup ran to the doors leading to the cells, Toothless right behind him with Sharpshot following.
Stormfly, Hoofang, Meatlug, Barf, and Belch would stay at the treeline to be a backup team in case anything went wrong. Hiccup told them to behave themselves and to stay out of sight.
Toothless stood guard as Sharpshot used his pointer claw to unlock the door. Hiccup silently walked in with Toothless and Sharpshot following. Sharpshot closed the door but didn't lock in case they needed to make a quick escape.
Hiccup walked along the empty cells, knowing that only the one with the guard in front of it would be the one the Dragons Souls or Dagur were in unless they shared a cell.
Hiccup turned and gasped, quickly hiding behind the corner he just came around from.
"What," Sharpshot asked.
"Guards," Hiccup said.
Toothless and Sharpshot went quiet as they and Hiccup looked around the corner. There were two guards standing in front of a cell and luckily didn't notice the three pairs of eyes watching them.
There was movement in one that cell before a Dragon Soul walked in front of the cell he was in. Outside of his cell, hanging on the wall was two swords that looked like Dual swords and a Boomerang, two things that are barely seen in Viking use so this Dragon Soul must be a foreigner.
He looked about 20, with amber eyes and dark brown hair that looked surprisingly neat with two bangs draped in front of his ears. He was tall, broad-framed with beefy arms that had scars on them, most likely from fighting. He had a light blue tattoo on his chin. He wears a beige-white and white tunic with a metal owl brooch pinned on it. Two sheaths hang from his thick waistband, one behind his waist, and the other at his side. (He doesn't have a thick, sleeveless fur vest and doesn't wear two grey fur wristbands like his 25-year old self yet)
What was surprising for Hiccup to see and made it easy to tell the man was a Dragon Soul was that green wings that had faded yellow at the end appearing from behind the man.
"He unlocked his power and is not afraid to hide it," Sharpshot said.
"Rumblehorn, he's a Rumblehorn Dragon Soul. His soul is strong and sturdy, but is also powerful," Toothless stated, having on used his power to see the man's Soul Wave.
"Eret, what is it," a male voice asked, a voice Hiccup recognized. It was Dagur. So, Dagur was close by.
Eret's eyes silt like a Hybrids as he sniffed the air before looking in Hiccup's, Toothless's, and Sharpshot's direction. Eret's eyes widen at the sight of Hiccup and the two Hybrids with him. Hiccup made a shushing motion, telling him to be quiet.
Eret gave a sharp nod with narrowed eyes. He glanced at the two guards guarding the cell. He smirked.
"Hey, you two!"
The guards jumped before turning and glaring at Eret.
"What do you want Cursed One," one guard asked, glaring.
Cursed One, a name for those who are Dragon Souls by Vikings.
"I just want to know when your gonna be releasing us," Eret asked.
"Your not. Cheif Oswald is still searching for the right punishment for his son and he doesn't have time searching for yours," the second guard said.
Seeing that Eret was distracting the guards, Hiccup, Toothless, and Sharpshot came out from around the corner.
"But to do that, your gonna need to let us out," Eret spoke back.
Hiccup pointed at the first guard to Toothless while he gestured to Sharpshot and himself to the other. Sharpshot and Toothless nodded.
"You're not being released," the first guard stated loudly.
Eret smiled.
"I believe you're wrong about that. A whole lot," Eret stated back.
That was all the guards got a warning before Toothless attacked the first guard, bashing his face first into the wall and knocking him out.
The second guard watched in shock and surprise before his helmet was taken off his head when Sharpshot flew over him. Sharpshot blew a raspberry at the man, who could widen his eyes in shock before there was a bang.
The second guard fell to the ground to reveal Hiccup behind him. Hiccup had hit the man on the head with his left fist and looked quite pleased.
Toothless chuckled.
"What a hard left-hook you got there," Toothless teased, making Hiccup blush.
"Hiccup," came Dagurs voice.
Hiccup looked into the cell across from Eret's and saw Dagur. Dagur had stood up and grabbed the bars of his cell with both hands, staring at Hiccup in shock and awe.
"Hey, Dagur," Hiccup said simply.
Dagur was 17. His hair was red and had dark green eyes. He has two tattoos of three lines like claw marks, one across his left eye and the other on his upper right arm. Dagur's hair is pulled back in a braid with a black headband around his head, Hiccup took notice that his helmet was missing. He has a brown, short-sleeve shirt and a tan and green tunic with metal studs. His left arm was covered in green bindings, with a large one on his forearm and a spiky elbow pad, and his right arm has only a leather strap. He has metal shoulder and knee pads, and a large, gold belt buckle with his crest, a Skrill, on it. Dagur wore tan pants and pale green boots with brown bands. He also wore a black, studded belt he wears over his left shoulder, which he uses to carry his sword.
Hiccup saw that Dagur's helmet, sword, mace, and his daggers were hanging outside his cell.
"You know him, Dagur," Eret asked.
Dagur nodded.
"Son of Stoick the Vast who is Cheif of Berk. Hiccup is the heir of Berk," Dagur explained.
"Not really anymore," Hiccup broke in.
"What," Dagur asked, a confused expression on his face.
"You don't know," Hiccup asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm in a cell, Hiccup. I tried to free Dragon Souls. Do you think anyone would come down here and tell me anything that goes on," Dagur commented, letting go of the bars.
"True. Stoick tried marrying me off to Camicazi, who only saw me as a friend, by accepting Bertha's proposal for finding a man to marry her daughter. I escaped yesterday with the help of my new friends. This is Sharpshot and that is Toothless, my lover," Hiccup explained, gesturing to Sharpshot and Toothless.
"Lover," Dagur asked, looking at Toothless.
"Questions later. Let's get you guy's out of here," Hiccup said, kneeling down in front the lock of Dagurs cell, dagger in the keyhole. Sharpshot went over to Eret's cell, using his claw to pick the lock. Hiccup picked Dagur's cell lock a moment later.
"How many of you are there," Hiccup asked Eret.
"Three," Eret said, grabbing his weapons that wearing hanging on the wall and Dagur grabbed his helmet and weapons, "Guards came and took Thuggory and Katrina awhile ago. We need to find them."
"Alright," Hiccup nodded before he looked at Dagur.
"Question, are you a Dragon Soul," Hiccup asked him.
Dagur froze and nodded slowly. Hiccup shrugged.
"Okay, just letting you know, I am too," Hiccup said.
At Dagur's look, Hiccup sighed.
"I'll explain later when we're off this Island," Hiccup sighed.
Dagur nodded.
Toothless then looked down the hallway, Sharp as well.
"Footsteps, coming this way," Toothless said sharply.
Suddenly, the sound of running feet was heard before three figures turned the corner. Hiccup blinked in at the sight that was before him. He thought he would have seen guards coming around the corner, not three teenagers, two girls and one boy.
This one that was leading them was a girl who looked 15 with black hair and green eyes. In her hands was a Double Axe. She had her hair in a braid with her bangs parted on the right side and a braid placed over her left shoulder. She wore a light gray shirt that goes halfway down her forearms with a leather vest over it, a hollow horn around her waist and an off-white skirt underneath. She also wore brown pants, wristbands, and boots with roping. All of her clothing had patches.
"Heather," Dagur called out, running to the girl and hugged her.
The girl, Heather, looked relieved as she hugged Dagur.
"Dagur, who is she," Hiccup asked.
Dagur let go of Heather and turned to Hiccup.
"This is Heather, my little sister. She was lost during a raid from an unknown tribe. She found her way back when she overheard her so-called parents talking about her. She was only here for about 6 months," Dagur explained.
Hiccup was shocked, Dagur had a sister?! One he seemed to really care for through. And it seemed that Dagur mellowed out some as well. Maybe because of Heather?
Heather nodded to Hiccup.
"Hi, thank you for freeing my brother. I freed Thuggory and Katrina as the guards were taking them to be questioned," Heather said.
Hiccup shook his head and nodded.
"Your welcome. I'm Hiccup. That's my lover Toothless and my friend Sharpshot," Hiccup said, gesturing once again before looking at the two other teens who were by Eret's side, "Who are you two?"
Eret gestured to the two by his side, "This is Thuggory and Katrina."
Thuggory was a boy about 15 with brown hair and blue eyes. He had a Claymore in his hands. He was a well-muscled boy with curly brown hair, blue eyes, and freckles on his face and arms. He wears a helmet with one of the horns crooked, a blue tunic, a light brown sheepskin vest, green pants, and black boots with brown fur tops. He also has studded leather arm bracers, a curly armring, and a claw necklace.
Katrina looked about 16 with bright red hair and amber eyes. She bore no weapon in her hands. She was a slim figure and wore a long white garment. She had metal shoulder pads, tan long sleeved undershirt with wrapping along both her wrist, green pants and brown boots. She had a small pack on her left side while a medium pack on her right. She also wore goggles on her head.
"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm a Monstrous Nightmare Dragon Soul," Thuggory said, smiling.
"Hello. Katrina the Curious. I am also an Alchemist from my home before I left. In your words, the closest would be Witch. I'm a Razerwhip Dragon Soul," Katrina stated.
Hiccup nodded before looking at Dagur and Heather.
"What Dragon Soul are you,' he asked.
Dagur and Heather glanced at each other and hesitated before speaking.
"Heather's a Razerwhip and I'm a Skirll," Dagur said.
"How about you," Heather asked Hiccup.
Hiccup and Toothless smiled and each other as Sharpshot giggled.
"I'll tell you when we get out of here," Hiccup told them. The other Dragon Souls groaned but nodded in understanding.
Hiccup, Toothless, and Sharpshot led the way back to the main door. Stopping in front of it, Hiccup peaked out of the bared hole the door had. Seeing no Viking around, Hiccup opened the door.
He looked towards the forest tree line and saw that Meatlug had stood guard with the others watching her back and sides. Meatlug gave a nod and looked at the guard tower. She watched as the guard looked around before his eyes landed on the door leading to the cells. She gestured with her hand for Hiccup to stay and get back.
Hiccup backed up against the door, hiding himself from the guard's view.
Meatlug looks at the guard before noticing a rock on the ground. Smiling, she picked up the rock and ate, smiling in delight before her eyes light up with an idea. Grabbing another rock, she threw it in the air and spun, hitting the rock with her club tail. The rock flew and hit its mark.
Which was the guard's helmet.
The guard looked around and saw no one. As he bent down to pick up his helmet, Meatlug gestured for Hiccup to run.
Running, Hiccup, Toothless, Sharpshot, and the escapees made it to where the Hybrids were waiting and hide with them.
"You made it," Stormfly said.
"Yes," the Zippleback twins high-waved.
"And you didn't get caught," Hookfang smiled.
"Um, Hookfang," Sharpshot said, looking behind him.
"What?"
"I think you just jinxed us."
Sharpshot pointed behind to what he was looking at. As one, they all turned and looked at the group of Vikings who seemed to have come out of nowhere and were holding their weapons at them. Oswald was in front of them. Archers were behind.
"We left the door opened," Eret spoke low.
"Don't. They'll attack us," Katrina said, grabbing Thuggery's arm which was reaching for his Claymore.
"Why? It's probably our fault. We left those guards taking us to be questioned in the hallway," Thuggery growled.
Hiccup looked at Dagur and Heather. The two were staring at their father with emotionless faces, but you can see the clear hope in their eyes. Hope that their father would not attack.
Hiccup glanced at Toothless and Toothless stared right back. A silent convention before they before nodded.
Hiccup took a deep breath and closed his eyes before opening them, an expression that looked like panic on his face that looked very real. Hiccup tried to run to Oswald but Toothless ran at Hiccup, grabbing him and pulling him to his chest with an arm wrapped around his waist and an unsheathed claw on Hiccup's neck.
The others gasp at this. What was Toothless doing to his lover!?
"If you attack or try to follow us, I'll hurt him," Toothless threaten, tightening his hold on Hiccup as he walked them back to the others.
But Hiccup knew that this was an empty threat because Toothless would never hurt him. That and Toothless was gently rubbing Hiccup's side where his hand was.
Oswald glanced at the panicked looking Hiccup and his eyes widen in recognition. Oswald nodded and backed up, motioning to his men to hold their weapons down.
"Don't hurt Stoick's son. Or my children," Oswald said.
"I think the question is supposed to be: Who's hurting who? Who are you and Stoick hurting," Toothless asked.
Oswald as silent as he glanced at his son and daughter, who both looked away.
"Run," Toothless shouted, grabbing Hiccup's hand and leading the others away from the group of Vikings.
Toothless let out a laugh. "Nice job Hiccup!"
Hiccup blushed but he smiled. "I did good?"
"Yep. They thought that it was real," Toothless praised.
"Wait, that thing you two did back there-," Barf started.
"Was fake," Belch finished.
"Yep," the two lovers said.
Heather decided to speak up.
"We have two Hybrids not too far up ahead. Their friends of mine Dagur and me. Their the ones who told us who we are," Heather explained.
And what she said was true cause moments later, they came to a clearing where two Hybrids were waiting. The two Hybrids looked at them as that stopped running in front of them. Dagur and Heather walked up to them.
Hiccup could tell that one was a Skrill and that the other was a Razerwhip.
The Skrill was male and had a medium sized body with blackish-purple skin. His tail was black with purple here and there. His wings were large black and purple wings. He had yellow eyes. His hair was black with the tips purple. Spikes were going from his head, down his back, and to his tail in a single row. His armor was black and looked thin, only covering his chest and legs, showing that he relied on stealth. His boots were like that too. His clothes were blackish-purple shirt and pants. His weapon was a spear that rested on the middle of his back.
The Razerwhip was female and had s small, but a slim body. Her skin was silver and looked metallic and her tail was spiked. Her wings were silver and half as long as Toothless's, but they were sharp. Her eyes were green. Her hair was silver but in a single braid. Around her waist was a belt that was filled with daggers and a double bladed axe rested on her right hip. Her armor was plated metal and silver, covering her arms, legs, chest, and back. The armor was thin, showing that she relied on stealth.
Razerwhip's annoyed Vikings to no end because of the metal like skin which made it harder for them to hurt them.
"This is Titan Spark," Dagur introduced, gesturing to the Skrill.
"Hi," was all Titan Spark said as he gave a sharp nod.
"This is Windshear," Heather said, pointing to the Razerwhip.
"Hello. Nice to see you," Windshear smiled at them.
"Okay, know that we're here, where do we go," Katrina asked.
"We can't stay here and we don't know where to go," Thuggery stated.
"We know where to go," Stormfly said.
"Where," Eret asked.
Toothless stepped forward.
"My home. I haven't been there in about two years since the Queen took control of my unexpecting mind," Toothless explained.
Windshear winced and Titan Spark's eye twitched at the mention of the Queen. There was barely a place around that didn't know about the Queen, well, to the Hybrids of course while the Viking's didn't know.
"Better place then nothing," Eret shrugged.
Katrina and Thuggery looked at each other smiled, nodding.
Dagur and Heather nodded as well along with Windshear. Titan Spark just shrugged his shoulders.
"Then let's go," Hiccup said.
Hiccup wrapped his arms around Toothless neck when Toothless kneeled down a bit so Hiccup could get on. Dagur did the same with Titan Spark and Heather did the same with Wingshear.
Eret kneeled down Katrina wrapped her arms around Eret's neck first before Thuggery did the same. Hiccup saw that they've been together for awhile with how they did this.
"Ready," Toothless asked.
At their nods, Toothless flew up, leading their group and their new found friends to his next, his home. And soon, it will be home for others.
Including for Hiccup.
Me: Hoped you guy's liked the chapter!
You guys are wondering who Katrina is?
She was in the Game "School of Dragons", but has been replaced with Heather. I decided to use her for this and give her a chance since she replaced. Just look up Katrina the Curious and you'll find her.
See you guy's in the next chapter!
