CHSHiccsrid: I know, I know, to be honest I do consider myself an evil writer. Kinda... Bold of you to make those assumptions about Hiccup's mother. We shall wait and see.
Seina Starlyn: She should actually...You'll see, you'll just see. Just come back to me after chapter 14.
Galaxy'-'wolf-1: Another bold yet interesting assumption. I'm so glad you guys have theories.
CHSHiccstrid(2): I LOVE YOU! Thank you , thank you so much for noticing that. I am so glad someone noticed. This story is not just about two people falling in love, it's WAY DEEPER than that. I wanted to take out my emotional side and my personal deep thoughts on love on this story. And I am so happy that it is clear. Thank you again for that analysis. You have no idea, you just made my day.

When the twilight fades to blackness it lights a fire inside Hiccup's guts. It burns away the drabness of the day, the clock in and the clock out, the mechanized life, robotic and cold. At night you can be anybody and no-one cares who you really are. So standing on deck of the night fury, alone and in the middle of the night. he steps into the darkness. The stars are somewhere behind the haze of black cloud that is stretched thinly above and the transitory moonlight bleaches the grey-scale world momentarily, and then it is gone. His mind is a blur with possibilities, each more fanciful than the next.
She left.
Just like that.
Just when they were about to kiss, just when his wildest dream would become reality, just when all of his fantacies would come true...she left.
She left him.
Like it was nothing to her. Like he was nothing to her.
Hiccup will never stop asking himself the same question.
Is it all in his imagination?
Is she even real?
{'''I-I mean that...you are too good to be real...you're...you're like a dream.'''}
{'''I am real. As real as you are.'''}
Yes. She is, he knows she is. He knows when he touches her. He knows when she holds his hand when they are too deep into the ocean. He knows when she helps him swim. He knows...because the deeper they get into the water, the more affectionate she is. The closer she is to her element, the more comfortable she gets around him. The more she opens up. The more she talks.
He knows she is real, because there is no way a beauty like her is a creation of his mind. She is definitely God's creation. She is definitely a miracle send from heaven.
And he know she is real, because he knows that the way she made him feel...was more than real.
The way she made his heart flutter like a butterfly. The way she made him forget who he is, what he is doing. Love is a very dangerous feeling. So dangerous that it can make you completely forget who you are? How powerful it must be, to simply make the entire world fade away as if it doesn't exist? How can love make the impossible, unevidable? How can it unite two sides, two ellements, two enemies? How can it go against nature? And how can a Pirate, a former prince, fall in love with a Syren?
A monster.
A monster that stole his heart.
does she feel that same?
This whole time he thought...he thought that she did. Was he falling for her while she was fooling around? Was she playing with him all along?
Monsters that have no feelings, no emotions. Demons that enjoy torturing innocent hearts before they eat them.
{'''what is love?'''}
No.
He refuses to believe it.
The stories can't be true, they just can't be.
Their beauty facinates every man on their way.
{''So what? Instead of killing humans you...resque them?'''''}
{'''No you're...you're the first.'''}
No.
They enchant you and make you fall in love with them.
{'''You're warm.'''}
NO.
All they want is to kill. All they crave is your blood.
{'''I am not a Mermaid. I'm a Syren. Mermaids aren't blessed with the voice. They can't do what our songs do.'''}
Is this why she saved him? Is this why she didn't kill him in the first place?
{'''It can be a very dangerous weapon if you don't know how to handle it.'''}
Did she want to get to know him first.
{'''Swim in with me.'''}
To play with her victim before she...
{'''Or maybe next time I'll drown you.'''}
That's why she didn't kiss him.
{'''I am not afraid of you.'''}
{'''You're a fool then.'''}
That's why she left.
{'''When the voice comes Hiccup...the things we do...horrible things...'''}
How can he possibly be so stupid? How could he ever thing that a Syren would fall in love with him? Gods he was a Pirate! The Master of the seas! He was never afraid of anything in his life. How...How could he be fooled by a creature of the devil? How did he allow himself to be hypnotized like that? By her words...by her beauty...
{'''I will never sing to you. Never.'''}
Another one of her lies. How does he know she didn't enchant him? How does he know she was telling the truth?
{'''Thank you.'''}
{'''For what?'''}
{'''For being you.'''}
Where those her last words? Why? Why would she leave? If she did feel the same way she wouldn't leave. She wouldn't tease him like that. She wouln't...
"AHOY! Captain!"
"Not now Tuffnut."
"Sorry but the royal sailors want a talk with you."
"Pfff! Those three are the last people I want talking to me right now. GET LOST!"
"I-I understand Captain but they said they'd chop my head off if I don't return with ya." Tuffnut gently covered his neck with his hands in the fear of losing it. "And you know how hard I work to keep these locks looking this good. It would be a crime to cut my beautiful head!"
Hiccup sighed.
"It would be nice to finally enjoy some peace and quiet though."
"B-But Captain...t-think about my poor sister! How would she survive without her beloved-"
"Your sister has been trying to kill you since birth. I'm sure she'll be thrilled." Hiccup laughed.
Tuffnut gulped. His eyes started to water.
"I knew it! I saw it in this morning but no one believed me! I knew the birds were flying in the wrong direction! It was a sign from Poseidon that my death is approaching!" At this point he fell on his knees crying loudly like a baby. "Oh please Captain I beg of you show mercy! UHHHH-"
"Oh cut the act you lazy snail, I'm coming."
Tuffnut's eyes started to glow from happiness.
"Oh thank you thank you Captain you are the Master of the seven seas!" he said while kissing Hiccup's boots.
"Besides, I am the only one with the power to cut heads on this ship." Hiccup sighed. "Those cockroaches think they can run around giving orders as if they own the place."
"Right? That's what I said! I can't take it anymore how long do they have to be with us?"
"Until your precious Captain does his job." Eret appeared from downstairs with Spitelout and Dagur following behind him.
Hiccup didn't speak. He didn't even move. His gaze was strictly directed to the ocean as it has been for as long as he can remember.
"We had a deal Captain Haddock." Spitelout said.
"I made no deal with any of you."
"You made a deal with the King." Eret's temptation to push Hiccup in the water was impossible to tame. "That's why we're here. And we won't leave until the mission is complete."
"The mission will be complete." Hiccup calmly replied.
"That's what you've been saying for months now. How hard is it to catch this stupid fish hoe and be done with it?"
He wanted to kill them all. Right there and then. How? How could they possibly understand? How could anyone understand?
He fell in love...with a monster.
She tricked him. She played with him.
He suddenly remembered who he was. What he was there to do in the first place. He was there for his freedom. And he had a mission. She was the only thing that was standing on his way. He thought he had found the greatest treasure in the world and he was willing to sacrifice everything for her. But now...
"Harder than you think." Was all he replied. "But don't worry. Next time I see her-"
"Gullshit! I don't believe shit! We will take matters into our own hands we waited long enough!"
"You will not do shit if I don't order you to."
"We do not take orders from you Pirate. We are here to serve our King."
"Your King has no power over me. And this is my ship so if you want to feed the sharks be my guests. But you aren't touching that Syren until I say so."
The three of them shared a few glances until he continued.
"But fear not. Like I said, you won't have to wait much longer because the next time I see her..."
He turned his back on them again, taking another look at the calm moon silver night ocean.
"...the mission will be complete."
Eret smiled and mumbled to himself.
"Oh I know. I'll make sure of that myself."
