(A/N: Drayko Ryder shares no love for the Daughter of the Sultan, every Rider and Dragon will find their own love and mate for themselves)
When we last saw Stoick the Vast, the Chieftain of Berk was horribly furious and deeply angered by the note left by his own traitorous son. How dare he betray the Hairy Hooligans and abandon his own Village for the sake, feelings and love of those Devils! To him, Hiccup was no better than them. They were mindless, they could not have hearts and they were not meant to have them in the first place; they could not feel the way they do and most upsetting of all, nobody could ever love a Devil. No matter the debt he pays to them, but the real anger came from the Tamer of Monsters called Drayko Ryder; he has made a mockery out of his fatherhood by liberating his son away from him like Wolves would snatch away children from their mothers arms and kill their own ponies (A/N: A Small Horse standing at 58 inches, I hate MLP BTW... T_T) as if they rode Horseback that is
You may not have known this, but Stoick has his own share of shame and regret for his own wrong doings for what he has done to his own son of all people. He loves him but loving doesn't mean trying to murder the god damn boy, when he reclaims his son; he will teach him a lesson about siding with the Devils. He was just so unforgiving of his own son that he could not tell between a well deserved punishment or going way too far, Stoick thought everyhting he has ever done to hurt the boy was the former. Never once did he ever stop to think about his actions for he was stubborn, blind, deaf and unwillingly to lethally stupid beyond the morons who are proclaimed as the Village Idiots. And man did Valka marry one alright, she should've given him some more beatings but we'll get to that in a second...
"We must not stop! We must first capture this Drayko Ryder!" Stoick yelled out once more and cheers erupted once again. He led them all back into the Great Hall before making his own plan. "Drayko Ryder is hiding something, it's clear that he is in league with the Devils, so he must've been to the nest before. We may not be them but we can find one to capture for our use. The note had told us that he was riding an Night Fury and that Devilish Monster will be our guiding light through Helheim's Gate, let us have Drayko live long enough to see his beloved Devil be our map to the nest before we have him Blood Eagled from the chest and have him be feast upon Hræsvelgr! (A/N: Corpse Swallower if you're wondering)" He screamed out to his cheering Villagers
"Man the ships, find where the Dragons are being kept by that Drayko Ryder and take his Night Fury away so we can see him be blood eagled before execution!" More cheers followed afterwards until everything died down when Stoick left the Great Hall motivated but furious over the betrayal of his own Son. By the time he returned to his house's living roof and sat on his chair in front of the fire, he felt cold and saddened
"Oh Valka, what have I become? I have failed and in the end, I can only beg you for Odin's forgiveness for turning into the Monster who led the massacre during the meeting of Chieftains. I'm no better than the Madman who calls himself a Dragon God, why did we take him for a joke played by Loki? I should've offered my best men to him, to help us all be defended and see those Devils be put down like the filthy dog that my Son is. I can't change myself, no matter what I do; this is all I have become. My son is a filthy traitorous dog, so I should live like one" He pouted at the end, clearly upset by the horrible things that his traitorous Hooligan dog had called him
"I'm more than just a drunk no good bastard..."
That was a long time ago from now, since that night. In the present, he was upstairs inside of his bedroom looking at the photo of him, Valka and Hiccup. Memories of the dark time from where she was taken by the Stormcutter, it was hell of a memory to be ashamed of
HTTYD
A dark night has befalled upon Berk, the young and always beautiful chieftainess/mistress had put Hiccup to sleep hoping that her Husband would not find out about the Birthmark that only she knows of. True to what the note had said, the Birthmark was more of a gift that Loki had given him; since he was the God of Fire and Trickery, Hiccup was going to pull the biggest trick from the Book of his own accord. Only this one was going to be a lethal and deadly one with the help of Thor granting him Courage rather than Honor to define who he really is and who he will become
This was one of the worst times due to the Dragons raiding Berk at this moment to which a Stormcutter flew into the house, finding the young 5-Year Old Hiccup in his own Craddle/Crib. Valka had rushed to the rescue unarmed but found it to be nowhere near dangerous as everyone had told her, rumor has it that she protected the Dragons by stopping the Vikings and allowed them to take whatever livestock they needed in order to live another day. It is possible that they were serving a tyrannic Queen, but until they get to the Nest then it remains a mystery
The Stormcutter was a calming presence to Hiccup and a gentle being with a heart that according to Stoick, they were not supposed to have one in the first place; to him they were always mindless Devils with no hearts for those whom they cared for. There was a little accident however when the Stormcutter scratched her son's chin after being startled by her presence, unknown to him she forgave the Dragon since it was an accident, though it gave her a clear distinction on what her son looked like in case she ever got separated along with those cute but beautiful Forest Green Eyes
Stoick had rushed in blinded by the dark smoke and deafening crackles of the burning inferno before him, the Stormcutter had taken Valka with him as a hostage or so he thought and flew off. Stoick gotten down onto his knees in failure and supported himself with his two beefy arms, but stiffened himself and looked up shakingly with once again, unstable and untamed rage; he stomped over to Hiccup as his back was glowing faintly and ripped his shirt off before grabbing an torch to rudely awaken his son, by burning some cigars on him. Yeah that's how you wake him up nicely alright. After the raid was over with, he broke his arm with his massive strength and held him high up into air as he screamed out to the gathering of Villagers that Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III was cursed by the Gods above, which was not the fucking case at all dickhead
Yelling at them that he was a plague bestowed upon Loki as he threw his son down to the ground and let the Villages gang up on him, at first spewing insults and venom at him before screaming and beating him half to death until he was knocked out like the bleeding mess on the floor that he was. Now lying on the floor bleeding, Stoick stomped his face with his heavy boot and told him that he deserved it for killing Valka before taking him back in his house to finish the job which was abusing him. The Villagers of course were allowed to do the same to his son and to rudely remind him of what sort of pain he had caused to the Chieftain. Thus beginning the life of Hiccup the Useless, which to them was rightfully called for he was one of the worst Worst Vikings on Berk far above Mildew who liked to bitch a lot. But here, this was because he was the cause of his own mother's demise. After one last beatdown from him, he was spat in the eye with bloody mucus and left to sleep on the floor as his Craddle/Crib was destroyed by him as he's not worthy to be called his beloved child
Hiccup was later taken in by Gobber, Spitelout and Gothi to the latter's house for treatments. Oh? Did he not mention that he was severely ill at the time? No? Then that action alone makes him a bigger dick than he is
He just wanted to take it all back, take back everything he's ever done to him, made his life into a Nightmare where he will never be free from. He has regretted every single moment since that day and that was worse, he would rather be killed and haunted by the Ghost of his beloved Wife to the edge of the realm of the "In Between Nothingness" He could only let out a moaning sigh as he went to sleep after drinking more than usual to wash away his problems. Since it was clear that Stoick hated himself, what do the Teens think of this situation? There's only one way to find out, let's start with Ms. Hofferson shall we? Here we go
HTTYD
To say that Astrid Hofferson was angry was a total understatement of the Millennium. In fact, angry didn't sound right at all, she was pissed off and furious. How dare that Fishbone betray them like this?! Abandoning his disloyalty he has given, abadoning his Dishonor that he has shown, abadoning his shame that he has brought upon them all on the Hairy Hooligans just so he can run away from his problems with a Devil Rider is just whoreshit!
The second to minute she had heard everything from the note that Fishlegs had attempted to keep out of their hands about letting himself be taken by a Devil Rider and reannouce every and any birthright to the title of his bloodline, the second to minute that she was pissed the fuck off like shit. There's a saying known as Live Long and Prosper, but Good Riddence isn't enough for this traitorous little dickhead. No, she's got a new saying to him: Eat Shit and Die barking at the moon like the traitorous filthy dog that he is!
All of this had brought her memories of the Hofferson's Bane that killed her Uncle by paralyzing him right here and there and destroying the very name of the forever fearless Hofferson Clan Family. She will restore the Honor of her name and she will hunt down that Flightmare, nobody will stop her and to prove her worth to being an Hofferson and to show her fearlessness as her family always had done so: She will join and become the leader of the Berk Guard. If she can't prove herself in Dragon Training, then she will prove herself to the Hooligan's greatest Militia where she will lead them to not only hunt to kill the Flightmare to wear as a sign of what her family was known for, but to find this Drayko the Traitorous and have him executed along with his Night Fury that he calls a friend
But until then, she flung her Axe at an tree, the head made a strong connection to the trunk and splittered the tough bark easily. Everything was clear to her now
How Hiccup had gotten so good in Dragon Training suddenly
How he has been holding back his rage all these years
How he was being fed the strength and power of his own anger that helped him in times where he needed it the most
It was all just a fucking Emergency Provision (A/N: Haha, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D'S reference!) That disrespectful, shaming, dishonorable, unloyal, cheating motherfucker is going to get the blades of her Axe when she kicks his ass and beats him to the ground
She didn't really know what pissed her off the most to be truthful for a second. The fact that he cheated in Dragon Training since he's too stubborn to admit it like the lying trickster that he is or he had been using various ways taught to him by that Devil Rider. Breathing hard, she yanked her Axe free and gazed at the handle of the blade before her. No, what really pissed her off the most was that he would abandon everything and leave all behind in pursuit of becoming what his new "father" would want him to become. To forget the Viking way and live freely to live one day at a time, the words she spoke to him in Dragon Training had come to her mind
"You think this is kind of joke to you? Cause our parents war is about to become ours, so figure out which side your on and get your head in the game!" She remembered that one moment to which Hiccup disarmed and held her Axe against her neck, it was a sign of a Dragon awakening inside of him. A rude awakening one may call it
The thought clouded her mind once again and it was finally decided, it's their side that he's chosen in the war that their parents were fighting; now it was going to become their own war very soon. With a great battlecry in the air, she threw Axe once more, intent to work out her frustrations she had about how Hiccup would abandon the one place that he belongs to and nowhere else: Berk. He didn't belong to the Outcasts, Berserkers, Murderous Tribe or the Dragons, No he belonged to Berk and was apart of Berk Property only! Nowhere else at all, just this little piece of shit on the map that unknown to her was going to be ripped off the map and left in ruins. Not now, but very soon...
She had better be prepared for the end and the burning vengeance of Drayko Ryder
HTTYD
There's not really much else to say about the Thorston Twins, they were bored to hell because Hiccup was the only one to entertain them with the destruction he had caused. Snotlout had many things to say about him. He adopted the new saying to whenever his useless cousin returned and that saying was: Eat Shit and Die Like The Traitorous Filthy Dog You Are, Useless! Another thing about him was that he was going to kill all the Dragons who stood in his way and make some armor out of them with the weapons that he'll force Gobber into making for him. Since it was supposed to be him who should kill the Nightmare, he's gonna kill a whole bunch of them to make armor out of as well as get ready to join the Dragon Hunters Academy. He's heard of how they're Drayko's enemy and he's gonna take the oppotunity to make a mockery out of him and take him down with his Godly Strength
At last, there was the one Teen who thought otherwise. Fishlegs had listened in to the conversation of his fellow peers about Hiccup's Betrayal to the Hairy Hooligans. How he let a Dragon Rider take him away from this Village, how he refused to aknowledge himself as the Son of the Chieftain, how he had rode this Rider's own Dragon and how he reannounced every birthright he held and title to the Chieftain. All written on the note that he had left behind to further add salt on the wound for Stoick, he had read it before and it continued to replay in his mind. But there was one thing that he felt different about his fellow peers
Fishlegs didn't even blame the slender boy one bit. Not even a single tiny bit at all, no matter what the others would think
Who in the name of fuck would want to stay here in a place where they're forever rudely reminded about how they're the demise of a loving parent? A Village where they were ostracized, beaten, bullied and whipped half to death constantly when they could be free? In fact, he's happy that the Dragon Rider wanted to raise him as his own son, he knew from the start that Spitelout would make a better father but he did not expect the former to be so loving and caring. He might not be too used to this at all, but he knows that it's for the best...
The large boy could only give out a sigh to himself but was still so frustrated when he didn't stand up for him when he had the chance. He was even more so as Snotlout proclaimed himself that he was the next heir to Berk now that Hiccup was a traitorous filthy shit eating Hooligan dog who abandoned his birthright, besides even Stoick wanted him to become the next Chieftain since Hiccup was being such a bitch about not wanting to kill Dragons and began a rant on him. Unable to cope with the suffering of having to be reminded of his failure and not wanting to listen to Snotlout's rant about how he was a foolish Viking who will always be useless and die like a useless asswipe, he slammed his fist on the table with the wood cracking under the force he had used to stop this bullshit
"WILL YOU SHUT UP SNOTLOUT?!" For the first time, he would do what he should have done in a long time ago. Defend him and his reason to leave Berk. "So what if he left? Do you blame him?! All we ever done was Hurt him, we bullied him! You went as so far to even blame him for his mother's death when everyone knows that was not the case!" The large boy was now standing, the large frame now under the angered boy for being interrupted by the fatass
"I do not blame him for what he did, cause we did ever do for him?" The last part was whispered as he turned and started to walk out of the Great Hall with shame overlooming his very mind which had become silent during his outburst of rage
"We left him for dead a long time ago way before he did the same. What he was always denied him. Friendship, Love, Family and most importantly we denied him for what he really is; he let a Dragon Rider take him away to somewhere, a place out in the Archipelago where you will never find him. Even if you do, you'll never beat him in a duel. He's found a better family out there then he'll ever get on Berk. What does that say about us?" With that he left with shame, regret and disappointment continuing to cloud his mind as he walked back to his house. He longed to take his actions of the past and change it, but he would be no better than Snotlout if he did since he knows it's impossible to keep Hiccup out of his violent father's hands; but it might as well serve as a lesson to be learned about standing up those who deserve better than to be abused. How he stood by and objected to nothing as the slender boy was being hurt continuously and constantly with no end. What kept him from doing the right thing was the fear of of being bullied by his peers, being the second victim next to him as they're always going to be frowned upon
But never again would he ever make this mistake, deep in his gut he knew that Hiccup would return and Fishlegs would be ready to be there with whatever Hiccup needed him to. He's no better than the Hairy Hooligans as he found out the hard way for the past 15 Years that passed, but he's ready for redemption and he's ready to fight for his friend once and for all
HTTYD
Nothing would ever go better for Gobber either, ever since he lost his greatest apprentice. Gobber gazed with sorrow at the Office Bedroom that Hiccup claimed when he first started his apprenticeship with him when he was just a little young lad. He was just so fond of him as the boy was different from the others out there, he was a brilliant thinker and talented with metal and detail, it really amazing to look at. He's even taken notice of his artisitc ability and he could understand how hard it is to lose somebody like him as he was the only who would ever care about him, Gothi betrayed him by wanting him to go back and Spitelout wouldn't have that. He's at least glad for his support and willing to defend him against his prideful son
To be honest, he couldn't be surprised at all that Hiccup would allow a Dragon of all creatures to take him away from Berk. What did shock him was how accepting that he was do so, he was even disturbingly happy that he did it in the first place. He had to take a seat on Hiccup's bed in order to stop and think as this caused all kinds of questions to rise in his head such as:
Were they really as cruel as they thought them to be?
Are the Dragon just as mindless and even more so according to Stoick?
Can Dragons really be incapable of having hearts?
Do they really not have the feelings to know how others feel?
Most importantly though, who could ever learn to love a Dragon for who they are behind those scaly faces?
From the time and the note that he had read, he sounded so powerful and free. Something that he always suspected that the boy wanted for himself for a long time. Something Stoick always denied the boy: Freedom!
The very thoughts about his old friend and Chieftain made him scowl in disgust, he knew that man was responsible for pushing Hiccup to this point and time. What Stoick had nearly done was the final breaking point fort he small slender figure of a lad, so desparate for Love and Affection. He was pushed over the edge and now Spitelout was going to feel the same as well
He looked out the window of the small window for sun-rays and moonlight to peak through just in time to see Fishlegs pass the Forge frowning, saying how he would be there for Hiccup when he returns. The old Blacksmith could only sigh as there has been a shift in the Tribe today and knew that everything would change with Hiccup's Departure. Things were about to get worse then what anyone could imagine, all because they forced them to leave Berk
HTTYD
Gobber was right, from the time that he believed things would get worse with Hiccup's departure from Berk; it was this night that the Dragons had raided the Village like never before. For the normal raid would go like this: some Yaks, Sheep and occasionally Chicken are taken (A/N: The latter being taken by Nadders of course) and houses are burned down. Oh they wished they started doing that again because now, the food wasn't the target this time around. Oh no not like the other raids no, the new target is the Vikings purposely. Perhaps they can have feelings as it looked like they were angry for something, or someone familiar perhaps. Gobber took note that many of them attacked the Chieftain's home and tried to burn it to the ground until they were a smoke pile of ashes and ruins. The Blacksmith could only suspect that it was vengeance meant for Hiccup, now this really was starting to make too much sense as he recalled and witnessed many, many times where none of the Dragons ever attacked him directly. Like the time Hiccup told him how a Zippleback attacked a Villager for picking and beating him up before giving him a ride here, looks like he owes that Dragon a little apology letter for using them for the Dragon Training lesson about Teamwork
Fishlegs was moping around the Forest thinking about what he done and what he should've done to make Hiccup's life better, it was 8 minutes during the raid that he walked into the Cove and found a lost hatchling. He immediately pulled out his pack of starter Dragon Cards made after the Dragons he encountered during the Training sessions and identified it as a Gronckle due to the dark night. He did however get enough light thanks to the moonlight and seeing how the Dragon Rider managed to tame a Night Fury of all Dragons which made him want to meet him, he cautiously approached the hatchling and had his hands up to show the young lad that he is of no threat and wields no weapon. Yet when approached, he found out that someone had been stuck in a trap; looks like they finally found out someone was disarming their hidden traps
Not wanting it to be along, Fishlegs had used his meaty arms and tore the trap's ropes off with his strength before picking it up,"Hey it's alright, I'm going to find your mother alright? I don't want to hurt you" Fishlegs had a soft spot for Gronckles and now was his chance to live the experience for it, his mother didn't object at all and she knew Hiccup loved her crab cakes. He had left the forest and began to search around berk all while he hid the Hatchling away from the eyes of the Vikings nearby
There was no luck for him anywhere on Berk, at least not until he found a similar looking Gronckle burning down a house without any remorse for the inhabitants inside; and that's how he felt as well because his friend wanted what was best from him and that's alright. It came over to Fishlegs, sniffing him until he led her to a hidden area in the dark before handing over her Hatchling,"I found your Hatchling at the Cove. Get out of here now, it's not safe for your Hatchling here; unless he was brought here by force, now go before it's too late" He spoke quickly, not wanting to be seen by the other Vikings here. The response he was met was a shower of saliva before flying off. He could only hope nobody knew what he had done, not even the Chieftain, Teens or Snotlout in that regard
"I am really going to get it now if they find out about this"
The raid lasted all night and when they finally left in the morning, the Damage Report was devastating: Over half the Village was burned to the ground, over 30 Vikings were killed and 20 have been injured. Stoick, who was banned from fighting due to his injuries by a Monstrous Nightmare, had to be rescued from his own burning house thanks to the Nightmare's successful attempt at burning the house down with the aid of a Night Fury. Stoick had also recieved reports of their crops being burned and a massive lot of animals had been taken, not to mention the shelters were destroyed and freed them. Silent Sven's got his hands full today but Gothi's healing tonic never leaves a wounded victim untreated, she's got thousand hands to work with and she's not stoppin' anytime soon
HTTYD
It's been a long while as many days to weekends have passed since the raid that broke the Village Spirit, Trader Johann arrived to see Berk undergoing some repairs due to the damn Dragons that had really put a piercing, bloody bladder of a hole in their spirit. "Would you look at the mess they make, what an awful sight to witness"
The Vikings noticed him and went towards his ship at the docks to see what he has for them. Fishlegs was also in anticipation but so was Spitelout as he was looking a little more lively today, almost as though he was waiting for something he's waiting for from Johann. But then again, who wouldn't want to have something from Johann? He's an adventurous trader after all! Once Fishlegs arrived at his ship, Johann brought something to him,"I have a message for you today to go with your supplies to making those Dragon Cards of yours, it's from a very creepy lookin' fellow but I can't let him be disappointed. He's a vauled customer and I never disappoint my best ones like yourself, so I decided to make this delivery for him. Until I return, have a safe trip everyone! I knew you'll get to the nest soon even if it takes more resources to sacrifice" He happily bid his farewell before sailing away. Fishlegs opened the message and Johann was right, it was strange but disturbing as fuck
This note had the symbol of a crimson banner sporting a Night Fury with a Red Tailfin flying over a reflective cream to golden crecent moon, which had the design of a Japanese Carp's scales imprinted with the color of Hazelnut tan. This looked awfully familiar like the Birthmark he saw once, hmmm... but there was more as well. A storm blue banner with a Deadly Nadder, a Pear Green banner depicting a Hideous Zippleback, a Maroon Red banner with a Monstrous Nightmare and a Taupe Brown banner depicting a Gronckle by both sides of the Night Fury banner. It's creepy enough, but the hidden words on the bottom were even worse
We Know about the Gronckle Hatchling you saved and reunited with it's mother, go to the Cove and talk more we shall...
Looking around for anyone nearby, he hid the note in his boot to make sure nobody finds it unlike last time; he had broken his promise to Hiccup and now they know that he left. Doing what the note would tell him, he headed into the forest and returned to the Cove which getting a better sight in the daylight; it was very seclusive and seemingly empty, but he couldn't be too sure though. But he just wanted to get away from the Villagers, and he did just that as he settled here in his new place. It was kindly lonely though but not too much as he enjoyed this kind of silence without that Snotjerk insulting him. While he looked into the water of his own reflection, he looked at the note again and remembered his promise that he made to Hiccup if he ever returned to Berk. While he was lost in his own thoughts, he had not heard Drayko land behind him on Toothless nor did he hear the buzzing of Meatlug's wings until an hand was placed on his shoulder and a voice spoke to him. "You regret your actions more than I regret to have my own son see you be like this way, he told me that your name was Fishlegs and wanted me to give you the best thing you could ask for" Startled at first, Fishlegs closed his eyes until he gathered the courage to turn and look at nobody than the Legendary Dragon Rider, Drayko Ryder with his Night Fury by his side and an little Fox Kit on his shoulder. He was lost for words, but calmed down to tell him the truth
"I wanted to stand by him, and I should've did it in the first place. I was afraid of being bullied by my peers and I couldn't" He replied to him, Drayko only tilted his head down as he came to sit with him while Toothless, Vixen and Meatlug played around in the Cove
"He doesn't blame you for what happened brother, it's the Village he's after, especially that horrible old crusty ballsack called Mildew and the Chieftain of berk. Nobody messes with my son and Stoick's not going to go with his ass unkicked by yours truly with me, Toothless and Vixen around. As a matter of fact, I'll let you meet him and my girl while I seal the entrance to this Cove. Hiccup doesn't like people barging into what he calls this Cove, his sanctuary" Drayko stood up and walked over to the entrance, using his Birthmark to close the bolder while Fishlegs approached Toothless and examined him up close,"I never seen a Night Fury like this before"
"He's a Titan Wing, though his power seems incomplete. Doesn't fully feel like a Titan Wing, must've juiced him up a little too early with those Titan Stones. Basically the process goes like this: Find some rare Titan Stones, take your adult Dragon to Titan Wing Island, use the power of the Stones and the fires of the lava will have your Dragon of choice transformed into a Titan Wing in no time. Simple as that" Drayko explained, but felt that Toothless wasn't feeling too different. He's stronger and faster than before, but there's clearly something not right about him
"How did you meet him?" Fishlegs wondered, Drayko could only laugh at that
"Glad you asked my friend. It was during this time when I happened to be at this same Cove during the last 15 Years since I was young, I made this place my home when Hiccup wasn't being forbidden from coming over to your house again because Stoick's a bitch that's why. One day an Night Fury came down bleeding as those horrible Vikings tore his Organic Tailfin off with their brutal strength, I should mention that Snotlout came up with the idea as I heard him suggest Stoick to do so and Hiccup object before being screamed at that he has no right to object anything ever again for murdering Valka. I approached him and during this time I had some broken bones, mainly my Right Arm as it is my dominant arm. Together we healed and I built him a new Prosthetic before I decided to leave this place, but to cover my tracks I had to dismantle my little home just up that ledge and seal the entrances" He pointed to where his "Home" used to be before Fishlegs looked at Toothless in amazement
"So you owe both each other your own lives" He spoke in amazement
"We're brothers, it's what we do for each other" Fishlegs had begun to lose any doubt about himself and noticed Meatlug hovering over to him to sniff him. "I knew from the start you had a soft spot for Gronckles, that's why I decided to bring Meatlug here to you. She's a beauty even for the eyes of those who judge themselves too hard, I tell you what. I can teach you how to train an Dragon of your own, it's the best way to leave behind this Island and go to a place where there are no limits to being a newly self proclaimed Dragon Rider. The adventure is yours and yours alone, your mother may be sad but there comes a time when you must let go of your attachment; that doesn't mean you can still visit her again" Fishlegs accepted, knowing that he would rather be free like his friend than be here were all runts are treated like shit
The result of the Training? Too easy, taming Meatlug was nothing that Fishlegs couldn't do. Afterwards, Fishlegs wondered about something that's been bothering him and asked Drayko about it,"Do you know where you're keeping the Dragon Manual? I don't want to result to be interested in studying plants, it feels boring"
"Remember the letter? Since Hiccup took it from Berk and rewrote it as the Book of Dragons, a book that depicts Dragons of all kind and gives them easy ways to train them, where else do you think he would keep it?" He hinted
"Now that's something I have to see" Drayko handed him a Saddle and mask that was like his. Dark Taupe on the left and Hazelwood Tan on the right with a white Boulder class symbol on the right cheek like all masks have. He put it on and complimented,"This is really comfy to wear, no wonder he mentioned this. Thanks" Drayko nodded and mounted onto Toothless with Vixen jumping into his arms. "Where you'd get a Fox Kit?"
"Injured by rockslide, can't say the same for her mother. A lost love I tell you"
"I gotta apologize for your loss, it must be hard. But where are we going anyways?"
"No need to apologize and where we're going is to the place where all Dragon Riders have no restrictions to being self proclaimed ones, a Kingdom that I rule you might say" He hinted as Fishlegs got onto Meatlug and the two flew off from Berk. Unaware and not seeing the shadow of Spitelout watching the entire scene unfold from below the ledge he stood on, as Drayko told Fishlegs was where he used to have his house there. Spitelout had seen the entire thing unfold and kept his presence below their instincts, he could only tilt his head downward as he spoke to himself
"To answer that question from the Great Hall: No more evil than the filth of the bleeding radiance belonging to my nephew that all of us stained ourselves one way or another" He's begun to make his appearances less frequently and more so when his son was present, he knows that Snotlout is his son and he's at least still prideful of him being a Jorgeson as they do not lose nor come close to losing the Thawfest Games; but the next time they're held, he will not be there because he'll be gone by then. It's not like they would care anyways, Stoick wouldn't give a shit if he vanished and he's no longer taking orders from his brother
They were just halfway there until they happened to be intercepted by Alvin and the Outcasts by a cannonball being shot towards them, forcing them to fight. But this wasn't too long as Drayko landed and let Toothless fire away at the group before telling his Night Fury to set him alight,"Light me!" Toothless ignited Drayko's Gauntlets ablaze and set them all on fire as the ship came burning down in flames. Afterwards, Fishlegs was amazed by Drayko's Gauntlets and would ask about them. His answer was that he made them from Toothless' Scales that he shed and turned them into weapons of his own
"You keep making me jealous of how you create these things" Fishlegs told him, a little jealous but then again; when has he ever been the Jealous type? Not when Meatlug finds a handsome mate, that's for sure
HTTYD
Upon landing, Drayko was called into action to calm a Catastrophic Quaken who was pissed off by an Terror for taking a fish away from it. "I'll take care of this, you find your way to the Main Hall and I'll meet you there" Fishlegs nodded and ran off with Meatlug while he went to settle this conflict
The Quaken saw him coming and roared at him, at least until Drayko created a ring of Zippleback Gas and created a explosion from it to calm the Boulder Dragon down. He began scratching his scales which happened to be this time that the Quaken was shedding, a lot on their plate one would say. After scratching it in it's boneless spot and having it collapse on it's back, Drayko presented a fist onto it's stomach. "Consider this a present from me" Now was the time find that mischievous little fucknut
But just so happened to be that the Terror was hiding in a barrel,"Come out of there, I know you're responsible for this and I ain't angry at you" The Terror came out of hiding and Drayko immediately remembered who it was,"Oh it's just you. I remember when I fed you on the Black Sand Beach with the others around, might as well call you Sharpshot because of the way you defended yourself against a Quaken like him over there"
Sharpshot climbed up and started to tickle him by waving his tongue against his skin,"Alright settle down there, I'll get one for you" He grabbed a fish from the open barrel and fed him, being licked and flying away in response before running to the Main Hall. The stout boy happened to be standing in front of the tall doors before coming up to him and nodding, entering inside and upstairs to show him his new room. "I'll let you get settled in with Meatlug here, the others are out doing what they do best. I'll be downstairs make a little welcoming gift for you" He left him to get settled and entered the Forge to get started
Using the scales of the Catastrophic Quakens he gathered on the Dark Deep and with the help of the always reliable Gronckle Iron, he started to work on an Warhammer that could harness the power of Earthcrushing Devastation to any foes who confront his old friend. The shaft the hammer was long enough to be gripped with two hands, light enough to be gripped with one hand and heavy enough to cause some seriously terrible destruction. It was wrapped with extremely durable fireproof leather that was dark colored and added in two thick tassels to hang from the head, which was an huge rectangle shape imprinted with designs of the Earth element and Boulder Class Dragons all in Norse architecture. This head was inspired by Thor's Mjolnir
The head of the Warhammer was black and sported a strong green tint, the top of an round disc and was spiked on the two faces to add in that bleeding pain and extra punch to it. The Warhammer itself which shall be named "Shatterquake" could also be spun around like a windmill and thrown straight to put a puncturing hole into the enemies who try to kill him. As well as break bones faster and crush organic tissues. He wrapped it up and moved onto Raijah's Tekko Kagi (A/N: I'm gonna go ahead and skip to the completed weapon alright?)
A few hours passed by and he could look at the beauty of this weapon, now under the name of "Phoenix Talons" due to the blades being replaces with Gronckle Iron claws and added in a tweaked mechanic that allows Raijah to spray a stream of fire at his control without being burned or running out. He usually did this at Destual Harzt but always ran out, not anymore! Because of the gel that Hookfang provided to him, Raijah can now use it as a renewable source and can set his claws on fire, like the name suggested. The design was the head of an Monstrous Nightmare with it's horns curved backwards up to his arms and seemed to wrap themselves around them. The head was opening it's mouth to reveal sharp and deadly curved fangs like hooks (A/N: Of course since Raijah's Nightmare is named Hookfang after all) with an hidden gauntlet made from scales. The head also had an fiery blur effect that was flying backwards, another thing that was useful was the added spring loaded Gronckle Iron claw chains that shot out and was retractable. It could also be used like a pair of chained blades, although it feels familiar and he's pretty sure that a Vengeful Spartan somewhere in Greece wouldn't like stealing his weapon of choice...
He wrapped them up and left them for Raijah in his room while also carrying the newly named "Shatterquake" to Fishlegs' room located next to Raedwit's room. "You in there? There's something I want to tell you and Berk must not know about it" Fishlegs opened the door to his new room and Drayko entered
Fishlegs turned to him and asked,"Is there anything you want to tell me?" Drayko nodded as he kept his back turned, removing his mask and held it in his hands as he looked at him for a moment and held it underneath his arm before turing to face him. He was waiting to reveal who he really was to someone like him for a while until now, to say that Fishlegs was shocked at this discovery was a understatement
"Hiccup?" He asked, unsure of what to say. He nodded but made this statement
"I wish to be addressed as Drayko whenever and wherever we go, Hiccup is more of a separate identity" His face was nothing like how Fishlegs remembered it, man how times have passed and how Ruffnut would try to get her hands on him if she witnessed him like this behind his mask
His face had shown signs of growing a beard due to the stubbles growing and some hair appearing beneath his nose, although it was not fully grown; it was dark auburn and speaking of such, he had never seen his hair turn from auburn to dark auburn but it now was shoulder length that touched his shoulderguards. His eyes have also seen a change from normal to a darker Forest Green color. "I know, a change of mood right?" And that voice, that was just so uncanny that it now sounded like a true chilled out brother. A friend who's always having fun hanging out, chillin' and going to places. But it was raspy no doubt about that, looks like he's built up some muscle since the last time they met; it's not that he did not have muscles, everybody does no matter how slim they are. It's only that he didn't expect him to sound so aged to the point of being unrecognizable. One thing that Fishlegs also noticed about him was that he was now taller and seemingly leaner than before
"Have you been training yourself to-"
"Handle situations when I'm separated from Toothless? Of course I have" Drayko placed his mask back on and handed over Shatterquake along with his new Shield sporting his Gronckle on it
"From what I've seen, this has multiple features like a Grapple that can carry and help you up"
"Of course it has, it's a Shield for both Offense and Defense for all my people. I don't exactly feel like a King since I'm not ready to rule this place, but I'm more than ready for them to fight alongside me. That's something I'm not getting from being the Chieftain of Berk" With that he left the room and headed to Raijah's room next to Maria's
HTTYD
When he entered inside of his room, he found Raijah stroking Hookfang while he was asleep. The Nightmare awakened and sniffed Drayko until he found the weapons that Raijah given to him to repair. "I did more than just give them some repairs, so I hope you test them out because I know they're enough to slaughter the Hairy Hooligans more so than your last pair" Raijah took the pair and equipped them right away right before he told him,"I tested out that Shield you gave me and it's not coming off until I hand it down to my future son to defend himself from those who would hurt the Dragons, I owe them a debt for bringing me back to home and it can't be repaid any other way"
"The next time we fight those Outcasts, let's see you get down and dirty with the Phoenix Claws because we're all waiting to see how they work out for you" He headed back to the door as Raijah continued to stroke and scratch Hookfang's scales, which were implemented onto his pants to prevent being injured and allow him to be set on fire as well
Maria's room was Storm Blue and had a Bed for Stormfly. It featured many Hunting items and Treasures she found when she had still continued her role has a Huntress. Which of course, she still went on her way on her own Adventures, so that there will always be Action wherever she goes
Raedwit's room was Dark Forest Green and had a Bed for Barf and Belch. It features stuff for Illusions and it had the Jar of the Zippleback sitting next to his Bed has a reminder of how many years he had been in there for. It also featured some Relics and Alchemy bottles that boil and bubble inside of the Cauldron
Raijah's Room was Maroon and Gold which had a bed for Hookfang. It features a Picture of Raijah's family and had Memorabilia that Destual Harzt had created when they found out that it was he who was watching over the Kingdom and protecting the Kingdom from anyone who opposes the Sultan. Such memorabilia consisted of stuffed versions of himself and his new Dragon, as well as some Merchandise created as thanks for all the help from the last few years. His mask was Maroon on the left side and Tucan Sun yellow on the right with the white symbol of the Stoker Class on his right cheek like all masks
Fishlegs Room was Brown and Tan which had a bed for Meatlug. It featured many books and depictions of Dragons to which it looked beautiful and it also contained the Legendary Book of Dragons that Drayko had given to him for his curiosity. It simply looked more like a Mini Library than an Bedroom, speaking of which there was a separate Library made by the Meatheads. But then again, even that's no bigger than the "Draconia Lost Library of Dragon Studies" or just simply the Draconia Library. It also went by other names but we'll get to that in a moment
At last, there was Drayko's room which was Black and Red. To whom Toothless and Vixen had always snuggled up with him whenever he slept. It featured many things that reminds him of his and Toothless's Adventures. Such as an collection of Tailfins, some Treasures that he collected from certain places and even an Monstrous Nightmare Tooth from when He and Hookfang fought a Animalistic Titan Wing who was created simply as a Killing Machine. Fed with torture, breathing with lessons about showing no mercy and worst of all, It lived with no compassion
HTTYD
Drayko went back to his room, ready for the next day to arrive by the time he reawakens. It was a long day when he's battling Alvin and the Outcasts, once he's got himself a Blacksmith and a Medic; now he can battle any force that stand in the way of those against him, his Dragon Riders and the Dragons of the Archipelago as a whole. For no matter how evil or how uncooperative these Dragons were, there is always one who will be tammable for him; not even the most human hating ones will be an issue for him
Life is simply a Puzzle for him and he's always solving them one way or another, even as he was enrolled in an Academy just outside of Berk from their neighbors, the people of Chiliblain. Not for Dragon Training mind you, it's actually for education that all Young Vikings at least need to have. Even Tribes being ruled in Chiefdom has their standards, but having their standards doesn't mean trying to kill your son with every chance they get
Ah well, it's no issue. He's got everything, yet feels like he's accomplished nothing. But it is true what he said about Toothless when talking to Fishlegs, Toothless just feels so "Incomplete" as a Titan Wing. Well until the answer is known, experience comes with Age; that's what they all say. Soon he'll have some new Dragons waiting to be discovered out there, and that time he'll be awaiting
Just like the Fireworm to the Princess to the Queen...
The next three chapters after this will be pause the main plot and give you some little tales I've been waiting to add in. The Original version had three Campfire Tales detailing their adventures, however this one will have something different. Remember: Don't like it, don't read it. Otherwise, Feel Free to Review and Until we meet again...
