3)Dragon language is going to be written "like this"

4)Thanks Truephan, akirisan X, OddPsyche, deminor, 64maddness and eternalsorcerer. I hope you'll like this chapter as well.

6)I've been quite busy lately with my college and studying for an important exam that's is going to happen in one month (It's an exam for me to get my lawyer license). So it might take some more time for another update. I'm really sorry.

"DON'T HURT THEM ANYMORE!" Hiccup shouted in human language.

Everyone froze in shock with that, including the dragons. Soon the vikings started to murmur to try check if they weren't going crazy. While other dragons were as surprised as the humans.

However, Sveina, was the one to snap out of it and decided to dwell in that once her family and friends were safe and sound. "Hurry up! We have to leave while we still can!" she told the others.

She grabbed Hiccup and yelled to her children to pick Galmann so they could get out of there. However when she grabbed Hiccup with foot claws along with Ranka one viking with an axe snapped out of it and gave a battle cry before running towards them.

Sveina growled and with a quick move of her tail she three some spikes of her tail like darts towards the man, who was able to use his shield to protect himself from the spikes.

That snapped out all humans from the initial shock and they once more decided to charge against the dragons and let no one get out of there alive.

Hiccup saw that and couldn't handle that anymore. It had to stop now. He heard Ormhildr screaming in his head to stop, but he was determined. He then turned into human, for everyone's shock, and quickly got out of the rope-made web binding him. Once he was free, he morphed back into dragon.

Everyone's jaw fell when they saw it happen. Astrid only cringed when she saw Hiccup revealing himself like that.

Vikings are usually very brave and fear nothing as long as they know what they're fighting isn't from a supernatural origin[1]. They had never seen a dragon turn into a human or the other way around. No one thought it was even possible.

The rain was starting to get thinner. For a few seconds the awful silence ruled over everyone. Sveina was the first to speak: "Hiccup…What's going on? How did you…"

Hiccup turned to her. He was sad that he had to reveal himself in such way to his family. But there was no time for him to carefully explain to her what was going on. "Please, mother, trust me. I'll do my best to make sure no one gets hurt. Please don't do anything harsh. Everything will be fine." he told not only to her but also looking at the other dragons.

A viking gathered enough courage to attack Hiccup. He thought Hiccup could be killed since he was still "just" a dragon. With another battle cry he charged towards Hiccup, who looked angrily at the man since all he wanted was for the violence between humans and dragons to stop.

"ENOUGH!" he shouted in human language before breathing fire against the ground creating a small wall of blue and red fire in front of the man. Even though it was still raining the fire took a while to extinguish.

Hiccup then started yelling at them: "Stop this at once! We didn't come here to harm you. This has to stop now!" Not the best of the speeches. He knew that. He cursed himself for his nervousness.

The vikings and other dragons were once more surprised by that. An intelligent dragon was something the vikings never conceived before. Stoic had to give a better look at the situation but with his axe and shield at hand. He wasn't going to let his guard down just because he was facing a very odd being.

The viking leader could see the black dragon turning around the wall of fire he had just created. This made Stoic alert the others. He noticed that the night fury wasn't even feeding the wall with its fire and it still burned while raining! The man thought this black dragon in front of him was very dangerous.

Hiccup halted once he saw his father. His eyes became watery. His father was still just like he remembered him. He swallowed and then told him: "I'm back home, father."

All humans gasped hearing that. As for the dragons, all of them could understand Hiccup's words perfectly. They didn't know that Hiccup's bless/curse allowed him to be understood by dragons even if he spoke human language. Ormhildr warned the boy about that because if he was ever caught in his human form the dragons would find bizarre that they could understand what a human said, which was something that never happened before.

Stoic finally gathered courage enough to ask: "What are you talking about?"

Hiccup gave a deep breath and turned into human once more. Sure it was one of the most embarrassing moments of his life, but he didn't intend to stay like that naked in front of everyone for long. "It's me, dad. Hiccup."

Stoic let his ax and shield fall on the ground with his mouth wide open. The fire wall next to the weredragon allowed to give Stoic and everyone else a good look at the boy. The resemblance to the small and weak child they knew was remarkable.

"No! It's impossible! My son died many years ago along with my brother! You fiends killed them!" Stoic said outraged by Hiccup's claim.

Hiccup then said: "It's really me, dad. I can prove. Do you remember how you made me become a blacksmith apprentice or how useless I used to be like?" the boy didn't like calling himself 'useless' like that, but he had to prove his father it was really him. He then continued while touching on his claw-shaped birthmark above his heart and told his father: "Do you remember this father?"

Stoic then saw the exact same birthmark his son had. His eyes went wide when he saw that.

Hiccup then continued "This is a symbol of the ones who can change into dragons, father. I believe you already know that uncle Spitelout also had one. He was just like me, a half human half dragon."

"What? This is impossible. Spitelout was no abominable dragon and my son also wasn't! You aren't Hiccup!" Stoic answered outraged.

Hiccup tried to keep his cool as he continued trying to do his best to convince his father: "It's surreal, but it's the truth! And what happened seven years ago was also his fault!"

"WHAT?" Roared stoic clenching his fists. "How dare you…"

But Hiccup stopped him: "Uncle Spitelout told me everything! How my great-grandfather, Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II used to take him somewhere else for training. He was training uncle Spitelout, but to control his dragon powers. Our family has this curse since the vikings first arrived here and killed all the dragons of the region, including a dragon priestess called Ormhildr. Our ancestor Hiccup Horrendous Haddock I was slashed on the chest on this very place and since then some o four Family members randomly are born with it. Those who are born with this birthmark become half dragons. Before uncle Spitelout, all of our previous family members tried to suppress their dragon side as much as possible, after all they considered it a curse. Uncle Spitelout saw it as his chance to seize power. He killed many humans and dragon as well for his ambitions…"

"ENOUGH!" Stoic roared. It was a coincidence, but the sky seemed to get clearer.

Hiccup, however, wasn't going to let this subject go. "Father, you have no idea how many times he thought of killing you and ruling over all the dragons…" Hiccup then turned to his aghast family and told them in dragon language: "That night fury who once tried to boss you around, wasn't my dad, he was my uncle…I'm sorry for hiding it for so long…"

They didn't reply. The humans also found it bizarre a human could utter such weird sounds.

The weredragon turned to the mob and continued: "The reason why we came here was to free a deadly nadder called Anki. He has been enslaved here for a long time like many other dragons…"

Hiccup closed his eyes for a minute and then opened them again somewhat thankful the vikings were still listening to him: "All of this is wrong. Humans hate dragons because they steal the livestock and because they kill humans. Dragons hate humans because this island was their home, which was stolen from them, and because humans kill or enslave dragons. Every time one kills the other it only make the mutual anger grow stronger. I'm not saying dragons are completely innocent either. We are currently being chased by some despicable ones. We need to put a stop in this ridiculous fight."

Stoic however still didn't believe in a word the boy was saying. The fact he resembled his son makes thing even harder for the man. He truly believed dragons were the root of all evil and now 'someone who looked like his late son' was telling him otherwise?

It was the last straw for the man.

"What are you waiting for? Grab your weapons! Let's kill these deceiving snakes!" he roared.

All vikings immediately grabbed their weapons for Hiccup's horror. His plan had failed miserably and not only that, ion his attempt to make peace between humans and dragons he prevented his family from fleeing.

However, Astrid heard everything Hiccup had said and rushed past the humans stood in front of Hiccup for her parents horror, who yelled at her to move.

Astrid however said: "I know this sounds weird. Believe me, I had a hard time accepting this myself. But I really think he's telling the truth! He was the one who helped me when that dragon took me from the arena. I would be dead if it wasn't for him. He had plenty of opportunities to kill me and us for the matter. Think. He can change into human. If he wanted to kill us, all he needed to do was disguise himself as human, blend with us and kill us one by one…"

The girl didn't like her own words. But it was something she had been thinking about lately, which helped her believe Hiccup was telling the truth.

However one of Astrid's late brother's friends, Faksi clenched his teeth. He couldn't believe she was siding with a dragon, especially after what happened to her brother!

"Die, traitor!" he said picking up his bow and pointing an arrow towards her. When he fired it, everything seemed to go in slow motion for the girl. She couldn't move, but she felt someone grabbing her right arm from behind and pushing her aside of the projectile's path.

Hiccup managed to make her dodge the arrow, but it had pieced Hiccup left shoulder in the process.

"HICCUP!" yelled Sveina hesitating to help her son. She could understand everything Hiccup had said. She took him in. She loved him like one of her own children to discover he was hiding the fact he was half human. Her motherly side wanted to rush and help him with all her might, but there was also a horrible sense of betrayal and doubt crossing her mind. She didn't want to, but she started to think Hiccup led them to a trap…

Hiccup's siblings were sharing the exact same feeling as their mother. But they were confused. Why did that girl tried to protect Hiccup and he protected her from the humans as well? That question plagued their and also the human minds as well.

The sun, however, rose in the horizon along with the sky getting clearer. Time isn't gentle to anyone and what approached them would mark their memories forever. They all heard a sound of a trumpet from one of the watch towers indicating dragon invasion. But what the guards had seem wasn't a swarm of dragons, but just one. A giant form approaching the island at a quite fast speed from under the sea. It emerged from the sea when it got near the shore and walked crushing all houses and building in its path. It was Red Death.

She then spotted a group of humans and dragons in the middle of the island completely ignoring the arrows being shot at her. They didn't even tickle her.

"Look what we have here." She said to herself with satisfaction after seeing a group of deadly nadders there.

Earlier, Gunnvaldr flew to an island avoided by all dragons and humans. That island was avoided because it was the home for a very dangerous dragon species. The venomous vorpent. These dragons are small and they can poison both humans and dragons and grant them a horrible slow death. The disease is known as vorpentitis and has no cure, apart from the mysterious and legendary vegetable-no-one-dares-name, also known as…potato[2].

His initial plan had been let himself be stung by these tiny dragons, but it was out of question since his scales were too strong for that. Red Death also has hard scales so it was also out of the question to ask the venomous vorpents to poison her. Besides, many dragons tried to ask the poisonous small dragons for help, but they didn't want to. They even poisoned the dragons who asked them for help years ago.

So Gunnvaldr decided to swallow as much poison as he could and to do that he was going to let himself to be stung in his tongue, the only soft part in his body the dragons could poison. He had initially considered resort to cannibalism, but this thought sickened him since he would be just like Red Death doing so.

With some luck Unna and her family could hide long enough for the poison kill Red Death. The only major problem was that a dragon of Red Death's size would take years to die of vorpentitis.

When the boneknapper arrived that island he was immediately greeted by a swarm of small black dragons with a poisonous arrow like sting on the tip of their tails. "What are you doing in our territory? Did you come to steal our food?" one of the small dragons questioned him.

Gunnvaldr just sashed with his maw wide open he taunted them with the best fake cocky smile he could: "I've heard that you are dangerous and powerful dragons, but you are just puny and fragile ones."

Say that with a straight face was awfully hard for him, but his taunt seemed to work now that he was surrounded by a cloud of small, yet lethal dragons. They tried to furiously sting him several times with no success.

"Are my scales too hard for you? The only place you have any chance of doing any harm to me is my tongue." The boneknapper finished saying with his maw wide open.

His invitation was soon accepted when the tiny dragons thought the boneknapper was just plain stupid for telling them his weak point. The venomous vorpents got inside stung him and them flew outside of his mouth before he could close it. But even if Gunnvaldr wanted, he couldn't close it.

There were several dragons stuffing his mouth. Be wanted to yell, but it was muffled due the numbing pain in his mouth area. There wasn't an inch that wasn't stung. 'I…I think this is enough…' Gunnvaldr thought as he used some of his strength to breath fire to expel the dragons from his maw.

The swarm was soon disbanded when the fireball came out of the bigger dragon. The small dragons who were set on fire by the skeleton-looking dragon flew randomly desperate to extinguish the fire, while the rest of the swarm flew away to not be set on fire by their comrades.

Gunnvaldr then saw his chance to flee from there and he soon took flight, but then he turned and managed to say even with his tongue in pain: "Thanks for your service…"

"What the hell?" said one venomous vorpent.

"Is he a masochist or something?" said another one.

But they all decided to ignore the boneknapper to try flee from the flying dragon on fire who know where going in direction of the sea to get rid of the fire.

Gunnvaldr flew for some hours. It was still dark, it wasn't raining like in Berk, but the sky was still heavily clouded. 'Crap…I'm feeling hot…Is vorpentitis already affecting me? Well, I was poisoned like no other dragon has been before…Gods, I hope this works…' he thought as he reached the island where Red Death was.

When the skeleton-looking dragon finally got to the island he noticed a ruckus among the dragons. He could hear Red Death yelling at them demanding where Unna was and he could tell she was very angry.

He swallowed dry and he flew near the gigantic dragon only to be greeted by a gronckle who asked him: "Gunnvaldr, where is Unna? Red death is furious…hey!" the gronckle didn't understand why the boneknapper ignored him and went straight to their 'master'.

Gunnvaldr gathered all the courage he had and wondering if it was the poison's effect since he wasn't shaking like crazy even though he was scared. But his desire to make Red Death and all the dragons who turned their backs to the deadly nadder family pay was just bigger than his fear of dying.

"Hey Red Death, why don't you go drown yourself or something, nobody wants you here" the skeleton dragon told her for everyone else's dismay. "You just an ungly piece of…"

He was going to continued but the enormous dragon quickly grabbed him with her fron paw and squeezed him hard. The sound of the cracking scales along with his shriek of pain could be heard for everyone in the island who watched in horror wondered what was going on in his head to do something like that.

"Do you dare mock me? Just because I can't kill one of the traitors now, you can't prevent me from killing the other traitors. After that, I'll pleasure myself as I squeeze the last drops of life from that disgusting deadly nadder." Red Death roared in anger squeezing the bones of the boneknapper.

The skeleton-looking dragon gasped in pain now feeling his broken body in huge pain. If she released him, he would surely fall to his death. He already knew he was doomed to begin with, so he tried to at least make Red Death pissed off.

"Do you know something, Red Death? Dagr lied to you. Anki's relatives aren't under his custody. The only one they managed to get was Unna, but I saved her and then come back just to tell you this: Their plan was to desperately please you giving her first while they searched for the rest of the family. But if I know Sveina well, she and her kids must be on the other side of the planet by now." He mocked her.

The dragons there flinched in horror not only by his words, but because of the gigantic dragon's roar along with the crushing sound of Gunnvaldr's remaining bones breaking. The pain was so excruciating he barely had any strength to yell and to keep his consciousness.

She tossed him up and with a quick move she opened her maw and ate him whole. He had no strength to fight against her digestive system and he soon fell into her stomach.

'I hope you enjoy this, Red Death, because even if you don't die instantly, the vorpentitis will kill you someday and you won't even know what struck you. I just hope Unna can hide safely while the disease affects this monster…' Gunnvaldr thought as he closed his eyes to never open them again. Even though she would take some time to completely digest him, he was too hurt and had no strength left in his body.

After se swallowed him there was thick sense of dread in the air. No one dared to brake the horrible silence.

The monstrous nightmare, who had accompanied with Gunnvaldr, tried to talk with her after the horrible scene: "Mistress, I…" but he was silenced by her roar.

"SILENCE, YOU VERMIM!" she yelled. She felt furious to know that these dragons dared betray her once more. She had found it weird for them to give her one of the deadly nadder family members before she fulfilled her part of the deal.

She realized they tried to sooth her anger with that, but now that she knew the truth she wanted to have all the dragons dare to make the boneknapper some company in her stomach.

She then had an idea and told the smaller and frightened dragons nearby: "Spread the word, insect. I'll go kill those vikings you always complained about. You don't need to give me direction. I remember I swam near that place once one hundred years ago. However, by the time I'm done and you haven't gotten all the traitors back, I'll slay you all and then find better subordinates."

When she was done she spread her wings and flew towards Berk. The remaining dragons in the island panicked and started searching everywhere. The monstrous nightmare, called Afi, went flying straight to Dagr to tell him the distressing News.

[2]I took that from the book How to Break a Dragon's Curse. As a matter of fact, the title of the book has nothing to do with the title of this story. I actually discovered this book AFTER I started this story. I also modified this disease a little bit.
