HotXbun: Here's the second chapter. And before anybody tells me this, I know that circuses were not around at this time, but for the sake of the story we're going with it!

TheJoker2.0: Glad you're excited for the story! So am I!

Chapter 2 Another Nightfury?

Eret's POV

The Next Day

I was in a restaurant in a town not too few far from Berk. Well, not too far if you have a dragon anyway.

Many trappers came to this restaurant, so I come here to find out more about them so that Hiccup can rescue the dragons they trap.

I have never met someone so dedicated to protecting dragons before. It's actually quite admiral.

While I was listening in on some conversations, there was one that caught my attention.

"Have you heard", I heard someone ask. "Apparently there's a circus nearby that has a Nightfury as an exhibit!"

"A Nightfury", another person said in shock. "There is no way that is true! You can't even get close to a Nightfury without being killed, let alone get one as an exhibit. It's probably just some other dragon that the head of the circus is saying is a Nightfury."

"You're probably right", the anther person agreed. "Still. It wouldn't hurt to check it out."

"Excuse me gentlemen", I started as I walked up to the people who were talking. "I couldn't help but over head your conversation. Did you say that this circus has a Nightfury as an exhibit?"

"Yeah", one of the people replied. "It's probably just a hoax though."

"Still", I started. "I just have to see it for myself! You just have to tell me where this circus is!"

One Hour Later

Hiccup's POV

Toothless and I were sitting on the grass watching the sunset when Astrid and Stormfly flew up to us.

I blushed when I saw the former because she was wearing a new outfit. She also had a hair in a new style.

"Good evening mi lady", I greeted. "I see that you have changed your outfit. Your hair is different as well."

"Do you like it", Astrid asked.

"You look beautiful as always", I replied.

"You're sweet", Astrid stated as she sat down next to me.

"I'm just being honest", I stated as Astrid put her head on my shoulder.

"So how's being chief going for you", she asked.

"It's hard", I replied. "And busy. How in the world did my dad ever managed all of this?"

"You'll get the hang of it", Astrid stated.

"I hope you're right", I revealed.

Before anything else could happen...Eret rode up to us.

"Sorry to interrupt your moment love birds but I have some information you'll probably want to hear."

One Hour Later

And that's how I found myself in the meeting room with all my friends.

"A Nightfury", Fishlegs said in shock. "This is totally awesome!"

"Don't get excited just yet my friend", Eret commanded. "The head of circus could very much just be using another type of dragon and saying that it is a Nightfury."

"Well there's only one way to find out", I stated. "Lead the way Eret."

"Will do chief", Eret said.

"You know you can just call me Hiccup", I asked.

"Yeah", Eret started. "I'll stick with chief."

With that I was about to leave with my friends, but was stopped by Snotlout's father.

"We need to talk Hiccup", he revealed.

"Okay", I said before looking at my friends. "You guys go ahead. I'll catch up."

With that my friends left.

"So what did you want to talk about", I asked Snotlout's dad.

"Hiccup", Snotlout's dad started. "You can't just go running off anymore. Look. I know how much you care about dragons, but you are chief now. Berk is your responsibility now."

With that...I looked down sadly as I thought about the last lesson my father taught me.

A chief protects their own.

"I understand."

...

I walked outside and saw my friends waiting for me.

"About time", Snotlout said in annoyance. "So, What did my dad want to talk to you about?"

"About that", I started. "It turns out that I have some chief stuff to attend to, so I won't be able to go with you guys."

"Boo", Tuffnut said. "Stupid chief stuff."

"Do you want us to wait until you have some free time", Astrid asked.

"This is important", I pointed out.

"I know", Astrid stated as she walked up to me. "But it won't be the same without our fearless leader there."

"Well then", I started. "It's a good thing they have you."

"Me", Astrid asked in shock.

"Her", Snotlout asked angrily.

"There's nobody better to lead than you Astrid", I stated.

With that...Astrid smiled before hugging me.

"Be careful okay", I said.

"I will", Astrid stated. "I love you."

"I love you too."
