Hello everyone I'm back again. I hope you are all enjoying your long weekend and thank you again for the reviews. Small warning in this chapter there is hinting of punishment by spanking because let's face it vikings weren't known for talking it out. Anyway on with the story.

"I don't understand Stoick, how could you have sided with those creatures? By Thor a dragon killed your wife and now you let one protect your son! It's insane," Oswald said in shock.

Toothless meanwhile was still furious from the attack on them and how close they had gotten to harming his hatchling. Now the human dare question the loyalty of the dragons and the worthiness of him being by Hiccup's side, no the dragon was certainly not happy with these people and made no attempts to hide it either.

'I know your upset but be civil, they are friends with the human tribe and we will need their help for the battles ahead' Tyra explained to him in the dragon language.

'They wear the bones of those of our kind that they've slaughtered like trophies and yet we are the ones that must be civil' Toothless replied in a cold tone.

The dragon queen gave the other Night Fury a warning look before she stepped forward and cautiously approached the other human chief while the men spoke.

"Oswald this war isn't with who we thought it was, there is so much more to this than we knew," Stoick explained before beckoning for Valka to come to his side.

"My wife lives old friend, saved by dragons and cared for until she could come back to me," the chief explained smiling as his long lost love.

"Valka? How? What is going on Stoick?" the flabbergasted man demanded.

"Perhaps I can explain," Tyra's voice cut in as she approached the group.

The young woman stepped forward and nodded to Oswald with an emotionless expression on her face, the man was mesmerized by the girl in front of him but also terrified of her. He knew damn well that this was no ordinary girl but a very good disguise of one. If not for her intense blue eyes he would have been none the wiser to the fact that she was a dragon.

"You need not fear me, you and your people are safe from us," she said trying to put the man at ease.

"Pfft, of course I need not fear you foolish girl I've killed more of your kind in my youth alone then I have any other creature," Oswald boasted.

"I hope you bring this gift of killing our kind with you if you so choose to come into battle with us Chief Oswald. What we're going up against I assure you has killed more of both of our kind than you have of dragons in your short lifetime," Tyra explained seriously not in the least bit letting it show that the comment bothered her.

Oswald was taken by surprise by what the girl was saying to him and suddenly became quite interested in what it was that Stoick was up against. He looked at his childhood friend whose face couldn't have been more serious before turning his gaze back to the young woman.

"Very well. Stoick, you and your party are welcome to come to my home to discuss this matter…Hiccup my son will be there, you remember him don't you?" Oswald said.

"How could I forget Dagur?" Hiccup replied with a grin plastered on his face as he squeezed Toothless' hand tight.

The Night Fury looked down at his little friend confused as he smelt the fear radiating off the little boy at the mention of this 'Dagur' person. He decided he would stay close to Hiccup just to be on the safe side as their group traveled to the home of Oswald the Agreeable and his family. Along the way the dragons couldn't help the growls that escaped their throats as they saw the bones and carcasses of all of the dragons. The humans were using every inch of the remains of the dragons for some kind of use whether it was for tools, weapons, armor or something else that greatly disturbed the dragons.

The Night Furies and the Nightmare stopped walking to look on in horror as the humans ripped the flesh from the dead dragon's bones only to throw it onto a slab that had smoke coming out of it.

'Please tell me they are not doing what I think their doing' Tyra begged to whoever in the universe could hear her plea.

However it was not answered as the dragons observed the humans actually eating cooked dragon meat and almost became sick. The humans stopped when they noticed that their dragon companions and Hiccup were not with them and turned to find them looking horrified. They walked over in confusion and when they saw what the dragons and Hiccup had been looking at all but Oswald looked shocked and appalled at the scene.

"What's the matter with you all?" the berserker chief asked confused.

"Chief Oswald you eat dragons?" Hiccup asked hesitantly.

"Of course and we use every little piece for something useful. I assure you none of that beast will go to waste," he explained proudly still not understanding why everyone looked so disgusted.

'Good to know' Hookfang growled sarcastically.

"Honestly Stoick what is the matter with you all, you look as though we're eating your cl-" Oswald stopped himself when it finally dawned on him about why this was such a problem.

"Right, beg your pardon. Guess no more dragon stew for us eh?" the man apologized laughing nervously.

'Catches on quick doesn't he?' Toothless growled in the dragon language as the others nodded in reply.

Even poor Tyra's resolve was starting to dim at the situation they were in and couldn't help nodding as well. She couldn't believe it, this man was her uncle's amazing ally? The girl could only pray that her uncle knew what he was doing and that they would all make it home alive and not end up on a smoker turning into jerky.

The group continued in an uncomfortable silence until they arrived at a hut where a woman and a little boy hesitantly came out of. The woman looked confused and terrified at the sight of her husband surrounded by dragons and the chief of the hooligan tribe.

"Oswald what is going on?" the woman demanded.

"Bera, calm yourself they are my guests. You remember Stoick and Valka," the man said as they approached the home.

"Y-yes of course," she said in shock as the group walked past her until she set her eyes on Hookfang.

"Beast! You dare try to enter my home," she hollered reaching for her broom to wack the dragon.

The berserker held the broom back much to his wife's dismay as the dragon growled at the woman and entered the hut.

"They are all dragons and Stoick assures me that everything will make sense soon," he explained to the woman.

Bera's eyes widened at the relaxation that the other strangers she just let into her home were in fact dragons as well and turned her gaze from her husband to stare at them in disbelief.

"Impossible," she managed to get out of her mouth before her husband took her face in his hands to turn her gaze back to him.

"It is apparently and I know this is a shock but I need you to focus Bera. Take the boys to the hall to get some lunch while we talk," he explained.

Bera nodded her head in understanding before calling to the two children to come with her to the great hall for a meal. Imagine the couple's shock when one of the strange men with black hair and intense green eyes pulled Hiccup closer to his side protectively and growled menacingly at the pair of them.

'Like hel I'm letting my human hatchling go anywhere with you murderers' the Night Fury growled at the humans.

Between Hiccups unexplained fear of the one known as Dagur and watching the humans destroy dragon bodies he was not feeling so inclined to let his little friend out of his sight.

"Toothless let him go he is safe here," Stoick said gently knowing the dragon's protective nature was going into over drive from being in this place.

The dragon was in a rock and a hard place as he stared at the confused woman and her son who had yet to say anything about the strangers in his home. Reluctantly he loosened his grip on Hiccup's tiny hand and watched like a hawk as he went over to the human woman that smiled kindly to the little boy as she took his hand.

"Yes, let us go eat something hearty and play while they have their boring meeting," Bera said in a friendly voice making Hiccup smile.

The Night Fury let out a breath he didn't even realize he was holding as he watched the little boy go as the scent of fear slowly dissipated from his senses. However the scent grew tenfold when the woman turned to the other child.

"Come Dagur," she commanded taking her son by her other hand and together they left the hut.

Before Toothless could stop them they were out the door and on their way to their destination. As they sat and explained the story of Hiccup becoming Toothless' treasure, Hàkon's return with his family and the mad queen, Oswald who could only sit in awe of the tale that sounded like something out of a story of legend. What disturbed him most about this tale was that this mad queen was not only destroying her own kind but controlling them like a queen bee and suing the dragons as workers to kill others for her and bring them back their prizes to her.

"From the sound of it this creature is quite fierce Stoick, do you truly believe that if we call upon the other tribes that we could have a chance at defeating this thing?" Oswald asked.

"To be truthful my friend I have no idea but we cannot standby any longer. If we do nothing then to the dragons it could mean their extinction and to us…well it's an occupational hazard," the chief explained to the other.

"What say you Oswald? Do you want to be a part of one of the biggest bloodiest battles that mankind has ever witnessed?" Stoick asked his friend.

Oswald seemed to think it over carefully in his head before turning back to Stoick shrugging his shoulders before he said, "sure sounds like fun."

The two man gave a hearty laugh before giving a friendly slap to each other's back, only one last thing in the berserker's opinion needed to be settled.

"What happens after the battle? Do the dragons still stay our allies or do they just become wild?" he asked looking at Tyra.

The girl stared at him intently in silence before she finally said, "Oswald chief of the Berserkers tribe, if you wish to join us in the new age of peace between human and dragon you are most welcome. If not then know this; after the war if I find out you continue to hunt my kind for sport and wear our pelts as trophies, we will be coming back to return the favor."

The man felt a chill run through his bones because he knew that the girl was not threating him, it was a promise not to be taken lightly. He nodded in understanding before turning his attention onto Stoick with a grin on his face excited to go into battle once more with Stoick the Vast.

"In light of this new alliance I say we should celebrate, you are all invited to stay the night in the village for a feast," Oswald announced before he saw the reluctant faces of the people in the room.

"What?" he asked confused before it dawned on him.

…

The village was notified of the celebration and were under strict instruction to NOT prepare any dragon meat at all for this celebration. It was a tense aura in the great hall as they ate with the hooligans and the dragons on one side of the room and the Berserkers all staring at them from the other side of the room.

Toothless was trying his best not to listen to what the humans were saying but it was hard when you had hearing like he did. He tried to distract himself by sitting with Hiccup and talking to him to get information on this child that terrified his friend so much. Needless to say he was not impressed to hear about how Dagur enjoyed targeting Hiccup as his play thing to torture when he came to visit by tripping him as they walked, playing cruel pranks on him and then denying it anytime he was even close to being caught doing them.

"Did he try anything today?" Toothless asked trying to sound calm.

"No, we were with his mom the whole time so he was being good," Hiccup explained as he ate.

The conversation ended when the boy in question walked over with a wicked smile on his face and two bowls in his hands. He sat on the other side of Hiccup before he placed one of the bowls down in front of him.

"Got your dinner for you since the lineup was big," the boy explained.

"Thanks Dagur, that's….unusually nice of you," Hiccup said suspiciously.

"Well since we're all pals now dad said I should start treating you like your one of us," Dagur said before he took a bite of his dinner.

He looked over at Hiccup only to see the boy staring at him like he grew an extra head quickly became irritated with the other child.

"Well what are you waiting for dig in already," he said before turning back to his own dinner.

Hiccup looked over at Toothless who simply shrugged his shoulders before he cautiously took his spoon and dipped it into the stew. He stared at what he pulled out and saw what looked like rabbit meat before putting into his mouth. If this was rabbit, it was the weirdest kind he had ever eaten and definitely didn't like it but for the sake of being polite swallowed it anyway as he wondered how he was going to eat the rest.

"How is it?" Dagur asked suddenly with a smile on his face.

"I dunno, what kind of rabbit was that?" Hiccup asked.

The other boy chuckled before bursting in full out laughter getting the attention of the people in the room including his and Hiccup's parents who were sitting at the end of the table.

"I forgot you've never had it before Hiccup. It's funny because up until now I never realized how much terrible terror tasted like rabbit," Dagur said before laughing again.

Everyone at the table was in shock while the other berserkers laughed in merriment at the prank, Hiccup instantly went pale and ran out of the hall as tears ran down his cheeks. Toothless was up in an instant following the boy out followed by Tyra after Stoick handed her his water skin. Oswald rushed over to his son with a furious expression on his face.

"What a baby he is father, looks how he gets upset over a silly joke," he chuckled before turning to see the dark gaze of his father.

"Father?"

"I specifically told everyone in the village there was to be no dragon meat served, did I not?" Oswald hissed to the boy whose eyes widened in terror.

"How dare you disgrace me like this," he added before grabbing the boy by his arm and turning to the others at the table.

"My apologies, I have to excuse myself to teach my son a lesson. I hope Bera can be of service to you in my place," he said before bowing to the group and dragged his son out of the hall and back to their home.

"There are no words for our embarrassment my friends. Should we go check on Hiccup?" Bera said still in shock.

"He will be fine Bera our son is in able hands but I would advise you to re-educate Dagur if we are to continue our alignment in the future," Stoick replied in serious tone.

"Oh trust me he's being re-educated as we speak. I shall fetch a proper supper for Hiccup so the lad can have a proper meal when he returns," Bera said excusing herself from the table with her cheeks still flushed with shame.

…

Tyra and Toothless searched for Hiccup and quickly found him throwing up behind a bush by the great hall. He turned to the dragons still pale and crying before he ran to Toothless and wrapped his arms around his waist. The dragon made quick work of kneeling down to his level and wrapping him up protectively in his arms. Tyra kneeled down beside them holding out a water skin canteen that Stoick gave given her before she took off after Hiccup.

"Here get the taste out of your mouth," Tyra said as she guided the canteen to the boy lips with his shaky hands.

The child swished some water in his mouth before spitting it out and gulping more water as tears continued to fall down his face. When he was done he handed the water skin back to Tyra and went back clinging onto Toothless for dear life.

"I'm sorry…I'm sorry I didn't mean to eat the dragon meat," Hiccup dried into his friend's chest.

"It's alright you didn't know nobody is mad at you," Toothless said to the child as he gently ran his fingers through the boy's hair.

"Why did he do that? We weren't supposed to eat dragon meat and it was awful…no offense," Hiccup sobbed.

Toothless could help chuckling, "I think in this case we'll take that as a compliment."

The Night Fury was happy to feel a small chuckle rumble in the boy's chest but was quickly replaced by the sounds of Hiccup crying. Toothless could feel the child's body draining as he exerted himself from being so upset until finally the boy's head rolled into the crook of his neck.

"Let's get him to the hut," Tyra said helping Toothless stand on two feet as he held the little boy protectively to his chest.

The pair walked in silence to the hut they were given for the night where the other Night Fury in his dragon form and Hookfang were waiting outside for them.

'Is he alright?' the Night Fury asked.

'He will be after he gets some rest' Toothless said before walking inside.

'Be kind to him tomorrow he thought we were mad at him for eating the dragon meat' Tyra explained to the two dragons who nodded in response.

Hookfang suddenly started to growl and Tyra turned around to see Bera standing behind her holding a tray. The woman cautiously approached and offered the girl the tray she was holding in her hands. The dragon took it with a confused look on her face until she saw that on the tray was a bowl of clear broth, a few slices of bread and some water.

"When you didn't return I thought you might be here," the woman said.

Tyra nodded before sniffing at the soup skeptically.

"I promise it's just a chicken broth. There are many things in this world that for some reason taste like chicken but I assure you there isn't a dragon tastes like one," Bera explained.

"Good to know I suppose," Tyra replied quietly.

They stood in silence for a moment longer before Bera said, "I cannot tell you how sorry I am that happened, and I have no idea what is wrong with that child."

"Your apology is appreciated but unnecessary. Perhaps a better lesson for the boy isn't to have him apologize himself instead of having his parents do it for him," Tyra said.

Bera was not a woman who liked to be told how to raise her son but after tonight she was willing to listen to anything to prevent that kind of display from happening again. She was not blind to the fact that she was a mother of a cruel child but she certainly didn't want to see it either, after all Dagur was still her son. However if this tyranny of his went into adulthood then the berserkers were doomed to a fate of isolation since Dagur could not seem to stop burning his bridges with allies in his selfishness and she feared for their people if he continued this way. Bera nodded her head to Tyra and wished her a good night before she went on her way back to her family.

Tyra watched her leave before bringing the food inside the hut for Hiccup to eat. The boy stared at the bowl suspiciously as did Toothless but Tyra assured them both that she smelt no traces of dragon anywhere near the food. The boy quickly ate before climbing into his bed for the night followed by Toothless after he shifted back into his dragon form and curled around the child protectively.

'We need to get out of here, I hate it here' Toothless said as Tyra shifted into her dragon form as well and sat beside the bed.

'We will be gone in the morning' Tyra assured the other dragon who only huffed.

'To go to another human tribe where we go over this again, great looking forward to it' the Night Fury replied agitated.

'There will always be good and evil people in the world we cannot avoid it. I know I've met a lot of them' Tyra explained.

Toothless watched the girl as she settled in for the night on the floor beside Hiccup's bed and suddenly felt foolish for sleeping in a bed while his queen slept on the ground. The Night Fury looked between the boy who was almost asleep and the girl on the ground not sure what to do. Like always however Hiccup seemed to answer the question for him.

"Tyra can we sleep with you?" the boy asked suddenly.

Tyra nodded with a smile and watched as the little boy slide off the bed with his blanket and lay against her chest as she pulled him close with her paws. Toothless smiled as he joined them and pulled Tyra into his chest and wrapped his paws and wings around the three of them. Hiccup quickly fell asleep with a smile on his face feeling completely safe cocooned with the two Night Furies.

That's all for now readers you know what to do. Once again for those celebrating the long weekend please be safe and have fun :) Till next time readers.
