It appears that Drago Bludvist has yet to know of that curse tha' that fallen Emperor had placed on his sword right before he died. After all, that Madgod is nothing but a clype-heap-bachle, nfayff, milk-drinkin' oaf-looking, bleatherin' plookie, snivelin' hotten-baugh, vile-stoochie, custard-tittie of a fucknugget to think he can become a Dragon God of all people. I'd laugh in his face before puttin' me Halberd through his throat!

-Bladehead the Blacksmith

Returning from the Dragon's Edge in their absence as the Dragons touch upon the Landing Platform from the Main Hall, the Knights dismounted and followed the Empress into the living room as they await for her to tell the tragic tale of her lost prince. Taking a seat as Empress Jacqueline cleared her mind first and began with the birth of their son

"It was once a graceful morning as the sunrise shined and our beautiful prince was born. Me and the Emperor enjoyed this warm morning as we know it, now knowing that we now have a heir and loving son to raise when the time comes to continue the cycle of monarchy. Although he was the perfect little angel that we all loved so much along with our people, no one is without their dark secrets. This is one of them in our family bloodlines that come from the memories that we wish and bound to forget, rather to live on knowing what has transpired in the past" She warned them as the dark secret behind the prince is about to be known

"Our cute and ever so beautiful prince was a very bed ridden one, struck down with no hope for the severe illnesses and plagues of all kind from the common cold to the deadly flu. We have always stayed by his side and without losing hope we've tried everything in our power to keep him comforted. But the doctors could come up with an explanation to why our Prince had suffered such a curse on him, the healers could not seek a faster recovery and the medications felt unreliable to whatever was infecting our child. During the time, Vaccines in our land were not very common to us as we had a very hard time seeking out cures, antidotes and everything to prevent our prince from becoming head to head with Death itself"

"It's about to get much worse from here" Eret looked at his Dual Swords, cleaning them

"You're damn right it's about to get much worse. There was far more bad information about our son's illness and could not be addressed in time until it was too late, the infection turned to into a outbreak and finally; it became a severe full blown epidemic around our Kingdom which forced the people we love to come to our castle and try everything in their power to help and save our prince. My husband had been right all along about it being a curse as it seemed to fade away when he recovered from the next morning and enjoyed the rest of the day as a healthy child, but the illness did not go away so easily"

"A virus, it's just like Polio and people I know on the Spanish Coast had got it one time or another. It may be gone for awhile but it strikes again, doesn't have to be fatal but in the case of some of those I've known; it was..." Raedwit informed them

"What a horrible way to be taken from such a world" Jacqueline stated

"They were thieves and marauders, mademoiselle. In our own country of France, we feel for no one but for the good and the redeemed ones; but please by all means, continue on with the Greek Tragedy of a story"

"I believe I will then. It was not two days after our Prince came down worse than what we feared, he vomited violently onto the ground which steamed in heat from the contents of what came from him and we just had to get him back to bed right away. This had begun a cycle of the illness retreating back within our son before striking back with a even more powerful force, the results had gotten even more so and continued on until the end of his days on the battlefield; it was the infections that made his wounds deep and grievous, the day was dark and black as our son laid in our arms. This severe illness had struck him one last time and all at once, this time it was truly fatal, murderous and terminal. Everything that had infected him before had struck him down to his knees. We were all gathered around his bed, coughing in a uncontrollable frenzy, vomiting out his hot and steaming contents of his stomach, bleeding heavily from his nose, suffering nothing but endless pain from everywhere but feeling the intense hatred for himself; not for being born, but for what he has become"

"That reminds me of how much I hated myself... but that won't interest you at all" Drayko stated

"He felt the internal bleeding on his every muscle, flesh and bone. All the pain, all the suffering and all the bleeding was what he wanted to end. His skin was blistering by the heat in the room but opening the windows would be no better for it gave him the cold, which none of us could understand the reason why. His final words were this: There is nothing more for me than my own family, I caused an entire nation to become a epidemic wasteland and I hurt so many people. Father, I won't let anybody touch your sword; it's yours and yours alone... forgive me, I never meant to do any of this to all of you. With one last final vomiting of steaming hot blood that painfully boiled on his skin, and a scream of pain, sorrow and other such agony; he closed his eyes and from there, we had lost our only child, our only prince we cared about"

"Where is he now, where was he taken?" Fishlegs asked

"Emperor Dretzymiro and I took our lost prince into the forbidden dark forest known as the Mists of Tamotsu, the Fallen Defender for we cannot bring ourselves to bury him; instead we all had built a tomb for him. Thus he was never put to rest properly, but it was not meant to be disturbed for Mierviea Vde Rallie was no stranger to the Demons that once roamed in the time before Draconia; before Red Death and yes, before the rule of Emperor Dretzymiro"

"It must've been a hard loss to overcome. That's something I can't handle if Windshear dies on me" Heather looked down with her Razorwhip wrapping her tail around her Rider

"I don't want to see you sad Heather, and she's not going anywhere without you" Fishlegs comforted

"As If she'd never noticed" Drayko added in

"You can be a real dick, you know that?" She stated, Drayko flipped his coin and decided

"I'm only a dick when I need to be, in the meantime I'll be taking my leave" He stood up and left the living room while Jacqueline wondered about something

"Now that I've told you the tragedy of our prince, there's something that feels disturbing about the connections between Blight and our son: surely it's no coincidence, but it's not a strange idea either. They both have and are involved with diseases, plagues and curses; but when it carried that cursed sword it wielded, it seemed like that it was acting as Blight's lifeforce. As if it's power is drawn and tied to that evil and cursed blade. If it is destroyed, then so would it's puppet" She speculated to herself, thinking more clearly about the strange connections before moving on

"The real amulet I hid lies in our son's tomb but thanks to Blight's interference, it's been guarded by a Demon along with the Sword of Emperor Dretzymiro. We have to head back to Mierveia Vde Rallie right away and although Blight is a new threat to us, Drago Bludvist is a even more dangerous threat. We can't let him become a Dragon God, we really must stop him at once"

"That's exactly what we plan to do, I haven't forgotten what he did to me that day" Eret spoke with venom in his voice, never forgetting that he was betrayed by him. Of course as the time passed and the hours went by, the Empress looked out to see Drayko at the Landing Platform and had to ask about him

"Raedwit is it? I would like to ask of you why Drayko isn't acting too concerned about the crisis at hand. He sounds like that he's dealt with this so many times before"

"Yeah, I agree. He's not acting like what the stories that the people tell about him, instead he's acting like a cold introvert. Mind telling us what happened?" Heather asked. Fishlegs looked down at guilt as Toothless comes over to the center while the Dragons shuffled themselves uncomfortably, knowing that this was yet another tragedy that had happened long ago

"You see Heather, before this whole journey started; something bad happened to Toothless and made Drayko into what he is today, it's not a happy ending" The Knights all agreed as they all began to take turns explaining with Maria explaining next

"During his depression when that Birthmark of his didn't glow for sometime, he found Toothless in the Cove and he wasn't exactly like his usual self. Instead he was a Human and he could learn to do anything, so we had to teach him how to fit into the lifestyle"

"A messenger of the Kindelline named Ru who came from the far east had arrived and explained to Toothless about his situation. I should mention that Drayko does NOT want to talk about the Kindelline and neither does he want to talk about who Ru was, it's not worth reliving the pain he says" Raijah continued

"The poor Night Fury had gone through it all, he was struggling with his decisions on weather or not he should tell his brother about what is making him feel moody. This did not end so well as he lashed out in front of Drayko and angered him to the point of beating him him down. He was shamed of his actions and ran off, with Drayko calling him a coward before storming off back to the Main Hall" Valka took the mantle

"How could he do that to his own Dragon? That's bullshit!" Heather exclaimed, angry upon hearing what he did

"Don't take out on either of them, Drayko was depressed and suffered suicidal thoughts while Toothless was dealing with anxiety and temptation. Things got better afterwards" Eret told her off. "Anyways, he started to feel detached from Drayko and started to go by himself alone more often than not. He longed to return as a Night Fury again and I wouldn't dare let myself interrupt that feeling, not when I have that feeling of giving Drago some hell for what he did that day..." He turned away and brooded

"It was at this moment and time that Captain Lech, the Profit Merchant of the Barbarians had captured Drayko by hearing of the legend and setting an ambush on the beaches. What he had done had given him a place reserved in hell for him, as we were captured with along with a Night Fury who was named after myself but with a Ash Letter; he forced him to make the Dragons feast on a frailing old Hotburple. As a sacrifice and not wanting to have his brother be taken away, he was stabbed and in the end was murdered; taking Drayko away and leaving him to become a hysterical and insane madman overcome with anger, sorrow and madness. But Toothless returned back to his former self and together, we along with Ru, Raedwit the uncle of Toothless, our reinforcement strike team and the unstable vengeance of Drayko for killing his brother in his Human form fought for our freedom; he killed Captain Lech and defeated the Barbarians who were executed under his orders" Raedwit the Illusionist finished as he wanted to make himself distinctive from the Night Fury of the same name

"In th' end, we return'd to Draconia thanks to that aid 'o a Sea Serpent named Bendor. We kin a' be unchanged from that event, bit th' the same can not be said for 'old Drayko of all people; too broken 'n severely distrusting himself to that point 'o makin' his decisions on flippin' that coin of his. Who can really blame him in that end? He went through all and so much hell on Midgard that he just can't make himself feel like he was not responsible for what happened. He reflected on his dark and murky memories of his past he hates talkin' about and his adventures, especially that aftermath of tha' Final Battle between that dead bitch "Red Death, that Bane of Queens" Nonetheless. He's just too broken to snap outta' that moody phase he'd be going through right now" Bladehead finished

Now understanding the full story behind the introverted nature of Drayko, Jacqueline almost felt like she could've shed a tear right about now while Heather thought otherwise; she had felt it from the start when she met Drayko in person as she was used to seeing him when she was watching him secretly. It should be no wonder why he has become so cold, dark, serious, brooding, silent, moody and introvertive; but he also looked very weary and fatigued as if he knows he's doomed to continue living a cursed life like this, this did not go unnoticed by Valka who talked to her about Drayko's early hardships when he was just starting to become popular to revered by the Archipelago and the Dragons. All while saying although he hasn't seen him in 20 Years since the day she was taken from her Village, an true mother doesn't forget her loving children; not even in their final days to live when their time comes. This alone had motivated Heather's search for Dagur and gave her a clear sight on what her adoptive parents were like before being murdered in the bombardment of an assault upon her Village

"The only thing I wonder is: what will Drayko be like without Toothless by his side like the rest of us?" Fishlegs wondered

"I'm taking that you're mocking him, so allow me to give you a analogy of mine: Mocking one man's Dragon is bound to be murdered, now of course I'm willing to finish the job for you-know-who" He spoke as he looked at this dual blades, sheathing them as he was referring to their Leader. Speaking of which...

HTTYD

Drayko happened to be waiting out at the Landing Platform for General Scorpio to arrive knowing that he has gathered some information concerning Drago's Bewilderbeast, the Black King. While he was waiting out silently, he was just flipping his coin; everyone knew that he and General Scorpio had a trusted partnership as Drayko showed greatness in him, he was not lying when he said that at all. General Scorpio was the best of the best when it came to combat, leading his armies with Drayko by his side and even solving conflicting issues with the Dragons. It took a while and when he finally arrived, Drayko stopped what he was doing and talked to him

"This vital information about his Bewilderbeast he abused, tortured and turned into a Machine of War for his own purposes will not be a gentle tale" Drayko nodded

"Do you believe he murdered someone just to get that egg?" He asked

"An Archdeacon from the Mierveia Vde Rallie had experienced it before first hand and passed the tale down to his son back at the Cathedral"

"Then continue preparing your men for the ambush. Once we have the sword and amulet, we're seeking out the Archdeacon immediately. I assume he is hiding like the rest of the civilians under the wrath of Drago and Blight?" The General nodded and took off back to the Dragon's Edge while Drayko walked away towards the bedrooms, entering Raedwit's Room and going over to his desk to take out a shiny mirror ball that was like the size of a baseball

It was an shining crystal that sported the colors of an peacock, spruce, cerulean, aegean, oxford and stone blue. When held up to the moonlight, it reveals an golden crescent moon that casted an shadow with markings on the moon itself. This was believed to possess the powers of lunar abilities as this was filled with Mercury and finally, when not held into the moonlight, it representing an Ying Yang with Yin (Black) going up and Yang (White) going down. Until the details have been made clear which will be made soon, the exact purpose of this stone is a mystery

Drayko, Raedwit and Bladehead had been building a little project to test this little stone that the Master of Illusions has been working on in his time alone. It was an black and silver cuff that was both thick and wide sporting two Unknown Dragons that resembled the cuff, with two wings on the back of their heads sporting horns; with it's silver underbellies having horizontal lines like always. In their claws they held two swords that crossed each other in front of the slot for the stone itself which allowed the Lunar powers to transfer into time manipulation. (A/N: This is not meant for Time Travel because it's never a good plot device, if it's done incorrectly which is very easy to do, shit like Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 can happen!) This mostly fitted onto his right wrist tightly and it was locked on so it would not be easily removed and taken by anyone who captures him, it also hid under his gauntlets so much that there was no difference if it was there or not. Finally, there were also some dark silver resonating Dragonese Runes that translated to "Lethal Primal" (A/N: Don't ask, just go with it) Some of the Knights who were not aware of the secret project happened to be spying on him

"Raedwit, what is that object he's holding?" Heather asked, not getting a good feeling about whatever Drayko was examining

"The Bangle of Chrono Quicksilver..." Raedwit responded solemnly. "I created that stone to allow him to freeze or slow time at his own will"

"Aye' laddie. When I searched out for the material that tha' Frostheart Axe was made of, the Merchants refused to tell anything about me alloy. I decided to use a bit of Toothless' Plasma Bolts to strengthen me new Bangle, since they said it would become stronger unlike tha' Gronckle Iron I'd been using for awhile; at least it's not that fuckin' Death Song Amber" Bladehead narrowed his eyes, hating that Dragon mostly because of not only being a annoying siren of a cannibal; but also being that Garffijorg won't shut the fuck up

"Stalking me doesn't make it better" Drayko told them without looking behind him. The Knights return to the living room with Drayko coming in, flipping his coin as he showed no response at all when he gave Raedwit the Chrono Quicksilver stone as he is the creator of it afterall. "When we leave for the two Arcanas, we'll be heading to the Cathedral first since the Archdeacon knows about how Drago got his Bewilderbeast" Raijah shook his head at that

"So now he has a Bewilderbeast of his own, that's just amazing because now he's even more of a threat. But none of that means anything to us, we will have him by the ass soon"

"I knew of this from the very beginning, Drago never told anyone why he wanted to raise it like his own son; but I've heard the screams and cries of that hatchling, and it still suffers to this day" Eret added in, remembering those ages when Drago was already a deadly Madgod to begin with; even in his younger years with his father in service. His line of fathers all named Eret to begin with

"I better seek out help from the Sanctuary right away, just in case Drago has any plans to attack my home for the Dragons I rescued from his vile forces" She ran over to the Landing Platform as she mounted Cloudjumper and got ready to take off. "I will return just in time when you decide to leave for the Tomb" With that being said, she took off into the skies and out of Draconia; but she couldn't get too far from the Island as the notorious Krogan and the Dragon Flyers fired off their scarlet flames from their Singetails, shooting her down and forcing Cloudjumper to scatter away

"Dammit, it's Krogan. Move out!" Drayko ordered the Knights, including Heather as they mounted their Dragons and engaged in combat with the leader of the Dragon Flyers. He had dark, olive toned skin with black hair and a black goatee. Rather think but muscular in terms of his upperbody, he of course still wore his indigo hooded cloak with mask but rarely shows his face in front of his enemies that wasn't Drayko. He also had an dark green tunic with an red snakeflesh sleeveless shirt with red outlines to make it more of a chestplate, sporting silver bracers on his arms, light tan pants with a belt buckle of his own Insignia and silvery boots

His Axe Chain he wielded happened to be an single bladed serrated Axe with two blades on the back and three more downwards as they go from largest to smallest. It was long and had two small baseball bat like knobs as this was a two handed Axe as the first one above had a blade with a spike and the bottom one had two spikes. The pommel featured three spikes while the eye featured another one, although this one was black; it of course was studded with ridges cut in a retangle to square centipede link (A/N: I can't explain it any other way) But the main feature of this weapon was it's retractable chain link that came from the axe head as Krogan made some improvements to it thanks to gathering more than enough Gronckle Iron, that and Ryker makes dirty and downright dick moves by having his Hunters steal Drayko's Blueprints to use against the Knights

Krogan rode upon his blood crimson Singetail Titan, whom this massive beast followed her slavemaster's orders without the need of having to fight; she would not leave his sight at all but mostly because although Dragon do not feel fear according to Drayko, this does not give her the excuse to feel the same when confronting Drago Bludvist of all the deranged Madmen. But then again, he's a Madgod since he's willing to prove that he's the one and only Dragon God who can control all beasts. She had an dark maroon muzzle, socks and markings as like all Singetails bound by their Dragon Flyers; she was chained to them and had her reins tugged just like a impatient guard would do to a slave impatiently

Krogan would never be without his Flyers who forced their Singetails to fire their scarlet flames at the Knights, who dodged the incoming fireball and had their Dragons fire upon the Flyers; who of course had their Singetails take the hit and blasted them out of the sky, but not before some of the Knights had jumped of their Dragons and killed the Flyers in order to free the Singetails they rode on. Krogan however did not fall so easily as he took out Fishlegs, Raijah and Dragur with a fell swoop of his Axe Chain and his Titan Wing's scarlet flame; he was just about to take out Heather until suddenly...

"FREEZE!" Raedwit flung his two fingered hand salute forward with his extended arm outward, everything around him flashed and became negative colored as everything from even the sounds of breathing has stopped dead silent in their tracks all together. Raedwit took this time to jump over to Krogan as he fired his grappling claw onto his Singetail's underbelly and launched high up to his level, this is where he began to take his time to swing a few punches; land in a few kicks and even put in more than one headbutt before he burped violently in his face, afterwards he returned back to his Zippleback as everything resumed normally as everything began moving again

Because of what Raedwit did eariler, Krogan had immediately suffered from the effects from the Bangle of Chrono Quicksilver; feeling the pain all at once as he was punched, kicked and headbutted twice at a time which stunned him. Allowing Drayko to jump off from Toothless and land his infamous flying kick towards his head, sending him flying off his Titan Singetail and forcing her to go after her master; knowing that Drayko was damn well familiar and knowing of their bond. Still, it wouldn't hurt to be free from the Dragon Hunter's grasps

Soon, the Dragon Flyers were forced to make a hasty retreat as some of them were killed and shot down by the Knights; allowing the Singetails to fly away back to their homes and enjoy their newfound freedom. The Knights on the other returned to Draconia and had Arson patch up whatever wound Cloudjumper suffered before letting Valka take off to her Sanctuary, with that sudden attack by Krogan it was made clear that Drago has sent his Hunters to track down the location of the Empress and that they needed to get those Arcanas right away; but until then, they need more time to prepare so with that they returned to the Main Hall. Drayko, Raedwit and Bladehead on the other hand stayed behind with their Dragons as they spoke to each other secretly

HTTYD

"The Bangle of Chrono Quicksilver exceeded more than expectations, there just needs to be some final touches before it's ready to be used" Raedwit in formed the two

"Who will have this featured pleasure, you call it to wear such an weapon?" Drayko asked

"It better not be for tha' Garffijorg because yer' gonna be tellin' a story, it's not gonna be a happy ending by me..." Bladehead gripped his Double Bladed Halberd

"And it better not be for that douchebag Torch either, hate that god forsaken asshole" Drayko crossed his arms. Torch was clearly and obviously an Typhoomerang Hatchling, he was hellbent on not sharing as he ate Toothless' food and stole his bed; the Knights knew just how much he really hated him and the Death Song that Bladehead mentioned

"You will, my Rider of the Night Furies. It was meant for you to wear and use to your own desires. But the reload time on this Bangle is too slow for my taste, it may be expensive to boost it up to Toothless' shot limit reload but knowing me; I've got more than what I require to make this a real and true weapon for the greedy to get their hands on" Raedwit chuckled without even having to open his mouth

"And they ain't gettin' nothin' on their hands I tell ya' what!" Bladehead finished

"The Chrono Quicksilver cannot be exhausted nor be drained of it's powers by any means, so it's a Artifact worth for the Historical Museums to tell in the future that lies beyond our reach. Until that time comes for when the pages are written and the truth of everything must be told, this Bangle is now yours to wear until it is buried with you and you alone"

With that stated, Raedwit left with Barf and Belch as he flew back to the Main Hall while Bladehead left with Storm. Drayko went off to the opposite direction and headed for the Pendulum Guard Cafe Tavern with Toothless since he needed something to eat, especially an Dark Fudge Chocolate Sundae since the bartender serves that along with Pepperoni Pizza with nothing else on it. He of course would never be without an D&R Root Beer as it was also something they served there, he just needed a little break since he has not much left to prepare for. But nonetheless, he was always assured that there was bound to be another attack by Bludvist's Army of Dragon Hunters

It was never meant to be seen nor meant as a joke, for Stoick knew all to well of what happened long ago... but that is a story meant for another time; but it will be told and known so that the mistakes must not be made again

The idea for the "Bangle of Chrono Quicksilver" came from the from the following Devil May Cry Games in order that all have a Time Manipulation item:

Bangle of Time from Devil May Cry (2001)

Chrono Heart in Devil May Cry 2 (2003)

Quicksilver Style from Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition (2005 for Original Version/2006)

Key of Cronus/Chrono Slicer from Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition (2008 for Original Version/2014)

I figured to myself since Drayko and Dante are similar to each other in ways: Why can't Raedwit make a Time Manipulation item for Drayko? Well like I said before, nothing in the HTTYD Franchise Universe is magical; not even the Titan Wing transformation since it's all just a metamorphosis, albeit a rather painful one since the power of the Titan Stones are used for a sacrificial price for power. The Bangle of Chrono Quicksilver is explained through science as Raedwit the Illusionist, whose Illusions are NOT considered magic, is the one who created the stone that converts Lunar Moonlight into Time Manipulation power because isn't Chronos the God/Primordial of Time? Whatever story you write doesn't always have to follow the Mythology it's based on, because I have a future story that's really heavy on Greek Mythology and it's based off of God of War (2005)

But that's mostly because of a character I based off the game's "Character Graveyard" where according to David Jaffe: It's where 3D Models that did not make it into the game are seen/God of War's rejected characters go to die. Specifically I based the Character off of the third concept model of Kratos since the team said they got rid of because it was "Not brutal enough, not vicious enough to be the star of God of War" even though it might of pissed off their first Art Director at the time. It was the one with the Dreadlocks and the peanut tan skin

Another thing I wanted to mention is: Yes, I'm very specific when using a shade of a color like I did just now. But yeah, that's what I wanted to share with you readers and I hope that things like these doesn't turn you away from what I write for you readers, guests and those looking for something interesting to read. Remember this is a suggestion: Don't like it, don't read it. Otherwise, Feel free to Review and Until we meet again and until next time...

P.S: My take on Greek Mythology portrays and casts Athena in a very malevolent and negative light, as if you didn't know that already; it should be a breath of fresh air from the usual "Everybody Hates Hades" Trope you're used to seeing, which Hades is just doing what he loves and is really a chill bro. Besides, I hate Athena... jealous bitch she is
