Ah yes, how the priceless relics of the Ancesterial Times become the most valuable. Best we keep out of Greed's hands, don't want to end up acting like snobby rich palace folk nor do we want to act like aristocratic tyrants now do we?

(A/N: This is an Short Chapter focused around Drayko examining the Silver Knife while also looking back on the Ancient Times, specifically when Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II went against his father and his brother Furious. I have taken the liberty of changing the species' name because the original is uncreative and stupid as fuck. Consider this to be a relief of sorts, Enjoy!)

Within the deepest of thoughts at Drayko's Desk at the Knight's closest of examinations towards this Ancestral Knife given to him by Jacqueline, memories of his Ancestor and Grandfather were brought back to him and all of it made no clear connection whatsoever; how could the Dragon Hunters know of it's location? How could they steal it? Why would they steal it? This was his family heirloom and belonged to no one but him, this was not a simple coincidence and neither was this just some luck that he came to stumble upon it; this was definitely the same knife that his Ancestor and Grandfather used, there was no mistaking it's appearance that's for sure:

The Silver Knife was an long, square tooth serrated and sharpened double edged blade from the same material as the Frostheart Axe and the Arrow that Speedy just so happened to have collected on his way to the Offshore Fortress in Mierviea Vde Rallie. The handle was that of an phantomly appearance to that of an Omega Primal Night Fury, being an skeleton with resonating light coming from the jewels used. The quillon was straight but matched that of it's wings and appeared to be infused with it's own Plasma firepower as it was given some reflective markings of it's own. The pommel was an snarling Cobra with four narrowed slits and five pairs of spikes atop the hood with tusk like fangs on the sides, featuring sharp curved fangs like crescent moons while also sporting the underbelly markings on the side and atop the hood. It was clearly Ancient and wrapped in metal wirecording, not to mention it sported the Mark of the Dragon engraved on the blade's faces with dark medallion gold. Finally, the blade was split in the middle with an crescent moon shaped hole like on his Birthmark

He might be thinking too deep into this and what his concern should really be on is the Arcanas that were all here with him, they gotten every single one of them before the Hunters and now they ain't getting their filthy little hands on them anytime soon; Elder Custos might know what to do with them now. Because of the truth that they found about Jacqueline having the blood required to becoming an Dragon God, it could've made him smile at the thought of Drago being blind to the fact and would soon find out too late that he did all of that for the sake of nothing. He was the true idiot here, but he knew that Bludvist would not stand for the foolish actions he made and will be bound to act in this sudden opportunity to make up for this massive error one way or another

Then again, he never did once smile the whole time. He did nothing at all, not even throwing a remark could keep him out of the shadow of his former self before the events that led him to acting like this. He was beginning to think that the others were now seeing him as boring as shit because of his introvertive nature that he poses nowadays, if they could only understand the kind of hell he had to go through on that large metal ship just to get his brother back to his previous form, then they too would know exactly the kind of pain and misery he's suffered. But it's made even worse if he let the Dragons attack him as Captain Lech warned him clearly: If he ever dared to think about turning them against him, he will make his death hurt worse than Hell and worse than the wrath of the Murderous Tribe before he kills him right here and now...

Look where that brought him and left Captain Lech, a real Douchebag among the Barbarian Merchants. Trying to force the Dragons he tamed to feast on a old and frailing Hotburple that he killed out of sympathy in order to relieve him of it's pain. Ah well that was in the past no less and even though he can't stop thinking about it, nothing was going to try and take him off the situation at hand. Taking a much, much closer look at the Silver Knife that his Ancestor and Grandfather had before him; given to him by the Empress of Mierveia Vde Rallie. The only real mystery behind this was why did it have the blood of an Night Fury on it? Did his Ancestor use the blood of one to create an Mark that stated that he would not use the Cursed Diamond of Extinction for evil purposes? That may be the answer since the Journal of his Ancestor stated this as it was more of an Story to be told:

"Hiccup Horrendous Haddock I threatened to use the Cursed Diamond of Extinction against the Seahydramus Tidalmus Maximus, Merciless unless he submits to exile by him; but instead attacked and erupted a war between him and the holder of the Diamond in the Archipelago. In the end however, it was Merciless who was destroyed from the inside and the Mark of the Dragon was now known as a sign of unity between Human and Dragonkind as an whole"

Until the threat of another who was named Furious would rise up and begin leading an Rebellion against the Humans for it was his belief that they were all responsible for the death of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II, or so they all thought he was dead. When he was revealed to be alive all this time, he angrily tore through the seas and ripped apart the tidals of waves only to find that his human brother had betrayed him. But he had told him that it was him, his brother Thugheart and his Father who betrayed him; beginning a rebellion and forbiddingly changing the meaning of the Mark by using it for slavery as well as threatening to misuse the power of the Cursed Diamond is inexcusable. He recalled the day he attempted to hold an peaceful conference demanding that the Dragons enslaved by his father be freed with Furious leading it

Had it not been for his envious and ever so wrathful brother, Thugheart whom believed their Father loved Hiccup II more than him by playing favorites; he had lied to him by saying that an Oracle informed him that he was attempting to take the throne, launching him into a state of fear and when the army arrived. Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II was stabbed by his signature sword: the Stormblade. Furious had tried to kill his Father in revenge but intervened as he didn't want his father's blood to be stained on his own hands, he never wanted to commit an act of dethronement and selfishly take it; all before dying as he was buried on the Bay of the Broken Heart, the one place he knew that his deceased Mother would be by his side while Thugheart was exiled and gave birth to the Outcast Tribe. Furious demanded the truth and was beyond his namesake that it was an Decoy the entire time, upset and betrayed by his human brother for this act of deceit and thus attacked him in his fit of rage

But he was no match for him and threatened to destroy all of Humankind, with him stating that Hiccup the Second will be the first to die. The Furious that he once knew was long gone, clouded by thoughts of betrayal and deceitfulness; Hiccup Horrendous Haddock II knew that there was only a single choice for him and he was left with no other alternative options either. For how could forgive his Father for beginning this madness in the first place, refusing to take the Mark of the Dragon as a sign of unity and forcing all into slavery like a tyrant; let alone even himself for his lies and falsehood. In the Final Battle that time had come, he offered mercy and forgiveness that fell on deaf ears and was spat in his face; throwing it all in the garbage and flushing it down the fucking toilet like taking a huge dumping shit from his ass

His many attempts to have Furious cast aside his hatred and make him understand his reasoning for doing all of this were left in the dust, as Furious refused to care and continued fighting an war that's best left unfought and resolved quickly. All throughout the battle, he was offered a final chance and began yanking on every heartstring of his scaly body; until Furious revealed that his compassion was long gone and he had no heart, Hiccup the Second knew and declared that he could no longer save the life of his brother he once had. In the end, Furious had suffered the fate of being pierced by the toxin infected Stormblade that was taken from his Father; leaving the Dragons to be left to their own vices until Red Death would come into power in the very present

Tragic tale it was but in the end, who was truly responsible? The answer for him: It was Furious who was responsible, his brother's jealousy may have had his father kill Hiccup but it was the Seahydramus Tidalmus Maximus that caused the War in the first god damn place. However it was his Father who was even more so, breaking the very Oath and changing the meaning of the Mark; misusing the power of the Cursed Diamond of Extinction. Leaving the memories of the Ancient Times behind, Drayko returned to focus solely on the Silver Knife further than before; having the very blood of Wodensfang oxidized

He was the companion of his Ancestor who was sent by Merciless to kill him after foreseeing his life would be ended by the hands of an boy, but betrayed him now that he himself was taken care of by him; being nursed back to health for it was not to be this day that he would die. Now of course like Merciless and Furious was an Seahydramus Tidalmus Maximus, but with Age shrunk down to the size of one's lap as Drayko speculated that this could be the curse placed on him for his betrayal to Merciless

The Seahydramus Tidalmus Maximus was just that: Huge Dragon with dark peacock blue scales with some russian and persian green mixed in. Covered in marine corals, anemones and barnacles that act like natural armor with eyes of an crocodile and an headshape of an european Dragon with two horns and short, stiff appendages with spines that go down on it's back and they are not without their nasty behaviors as well. Featuring telepathy and limited precognition of the Oracles. Furious himself even demonstrated the ability to fire bolts of lightning from it's eyes, might as well be an ability due to the hatred he felt; Wodensfang on the other hand was the opposite. Gingerbread brown colored scales and an arrow tipped tail with wings that were kept. It should be mentioned that the blood of an Seahydramus Tidalmus Maximus was an dark emerald green, which explains why the Silver Knife itself had very little stains of green darkblood on it

(A/N: I know it's the "Seadragonus Giganticus Maximus" and I have no disrespect towards Madamoselle Cressida, but just like the name of Toothless and the Light Fury's children: It's fucking stupid, retarded sounding and uncreative. I alter the names to make them sound more suitable and just to make 'em sound more creative, this is DreamWorks after all; gotta make those sacrifices if you're gonna write something that's at least decent...)

Drayko was so caught up in his examination, study and memories of his Ancestors that he never saw or heard Toothless walk up from behind him until he felt him nudging him by the side; getting his attention as the Knight turned to face him. "Hey Toothless" He spoke casually as he stroked his Night Fury's scales

"You alright Æðelin? You've been up all night and I was just taking a nap after nice meal" Toothless asked, feeling uncomfortable due to his brother's unfathomable obsession over the Knife of Lore that he was given as a little family heirloom

"Just studying this Knife, exploring some memories about my Ancestors who were just like me. How they took down Merciless and Furious with the help of their allies, creating an unity between them and Humans. At least before Hiccup II's Father refused and broke the Mark's unity, misusing it for slavery of both people like a tyrant; but also helping Furious begin his uprising for the Dragon Rebellion"

"Not even the Ancient Times were any better either. Our Elders told me and us stories about the aftermath of what happened, I haven't forgotten it and nothing else happened in the time before the Rise of Red Death, the Bane of Queens forced us into raiding Berk for another few years to decades. I don't ever want to have you sad and disappointed if I make my departure..."

"Neither would I want to see you the same way if all the Dragons go out and vanish by returning back to their Homeland out there beyond the horizon, we'll still be together and do everything that we both talked about that night when you were still a Human..." Toothless nodded and returned downstairs while Drayko returned his focus on the Silver Knife before him

HTTYD

The hours passed into the night and when the arrival of an Nadder came perching at the Landing Platform, Drayko looked up and opened the door to his room; finding his Uncle in disguise as he was wearing an cloak and wearing Gronckle Iron armor forged by him and Gobber. He allowed him to enter as Drayko asked: "What's brought you here, Uncle?"

"There's something about Berk that you need to know about, I've been tracking you down ever since I heard the News recently that Stoick announced. It's about the Teens you were tormented by in the past"

"What kind of bullshit have they gotten themselves into this time?" He asked

"The Raids have gotten worse than before and the Dragons have been driving the Hooligans to the point of planning a counterattack, but that's not the worst part. In the meantime, Stoick has not forgotten what happened to you and has gathered everyone for a meeting inside of the Great Hall; demanding that they forget about finding the Dragon Nest to destroy it so that the raids may finally stop, instead they're planning to find Draconia" Spitelout explained

"Not in foolish bastard's worth of a lifetime..." Drayko crossed his arms

"The Nest I've mentioned beforehand has now been abandoned and taken over after you've killed the Red Death, it may be the Nest of what they call the subspecies known as the Green Death. I've paid myself a visit to some libraries before hand to gather some information for you, that's how I know; now then, Astrid and the Teens have stepped up to volunteer and vowed themselves to finding you" Drayko scowled, why can't they just fucking leave him alone for once in their lives? Every fuckin' time something cool happens, it's always them that ruins it all

"It gets worse from here: Astrid informed everyone that although Fishlegs was kidnapped as they need his knowledge of the weakness more than ever in this time of crisis, that doesn't mean they'll let 'em Dragons keep taking more lives and feeding off the livestock; I have been given the word about the issue at hand and I will delay the Teen's Voyage to sail to Draconia in order to have you apprehended and brought back for execution for killing the Chief's son"

"They will never be allowed to reach Draconia" Drayko scowled once more

"Ms. Hofferson is the Leader of this Voyage thanks to my brother and I will not have them be involved in this crisis against Drago Bludvist, Kingstail will be right beside me and will continue to lead the raids while I target their vulnerable points for sabotaging; knowing how it is a very long way from Berk to here, I will help out in everyway I can to stop them. I trust that you will know what to do next"

"I do, thanks Spitelout"

"It's why I'm here..." He quoted his nephew before exiting out of his room and taking off back to Berk with Kingstail. Afterwards Drayko went downstairs to grab himself a bite to eat while Toothless slept upstairs, on his own bed to rest for the night. But soon found out that he couldn't sleep at all as the morning hours as early as 2:00 AM had him tossing and turning, eventually getting up and going downstairs to find Drayko enjoying his Pepperoni Pizza with a Dark Fudge Chocolate Sundae

"You just can't seem to take your mind off those can't you?" He asked tiredly, yawning all the way

"Of course not, you know as well as I do that this is what keeps me calm and keeps me from vomiting bile; large amounts I may add"

"You treatin' that liver alright?" Toothless asked concerned

"I never ate too much as a child at Berk..." The Night Fury curled around and slept by his side, all while he finished up and got up to take himself an shower; an very silent one as Toothless was fast as asleep by the time the water had started running and when he did come out to see him like this, Drayko once again examined the Silver Knife more closely. Now that it was back in his possession, he could really have Bladehead take the time to strengthen this little knife that's been used by his Ancestors; that Blacksmith is always taking the heat in his Forge and never letting no one but either him or himself use it. But reminiscing on the time of his Ancestors had taken alot out of him, so he joined his brother and slept with him; unaware that this may be the last time he and Toothless would act like brothers as Drago Bludvists knows how to break someone to his own will, no matter the resistance that is shown...

From the next morning that is to come, Drayko was outside of the Main Hall on the steps; the other Knights came down and noticed just how silent it was without Valka or Cloudjumper around. "This must be one of those beautiful sunsets I've heard about during my travels with Windshear" Heather complimented

"Nothing beats waking up to the sight of this, though it just doesn't feel the same without Ms. Haddock around; Cloudjumper isn't even here to make that feeling go away either" Fishlegs looked up towards the sky. But as if the daylight was playing tricks on them all, the Knights saw an Triple Stryke flying towards them and easily identified him belonging to General Scorpio

"Eclipser's back, what's happened now?" Maria wondered to herself as Raedwit held Vixen tightly

"Hmmm... better get ready then since they need our help" The Illusionist told Vixen, who licked him cheerfully and yipped softly

"Alright Scorpio, let's see what you've got for us" Raijah commented

"Now I may finally have some foreclosure to this madness" Eret thought to himself, ready to put an end to Drago Bludvist's betrayal. Frost relaxed in the cool morning air while Dragur held Rose close to him

"If my Rose went with them, she's not going alone. I have no intentions on losing her, not now and not ever" Dragur stated, Arson just straightened his Stahlhelm and shifted his medical supplies more comfortably on him

"Something wrong Eclipser?" Drayko asked as the Triple Stryke approached him, handing over the message as he read it out to the Knights; saying that General Scorpio needs reinforcements as the Dragon Hunters' defense is too strong. While they can hold out and keep their men from being slaughtered, the Villagers are being targeted as well as their Dragons. "Get ready for some hell, we're going to the Sanctuary's Village. Take what you need and get flying, we're not ignoring this warning" The Knights nodded and prepared themselves while Drayko mounted onto Toothless and checked his Tailfin. As it was layered with Red Death's scales as well as his own, this Tailfin will never be destroyed and neither is his collection at his Hut from the Dragon's Edge

The Knights returned and took off into the sky with Heather following ahead towards where Scorpio needs them. As it was mentioned before, this may be the last time the two of them act like brothers as Drago Bludvist knows how to break a man to his own will; no matter the resistance they show in them. Until that time comes, the duo may never separate from each other as they will defy against all who forced them to do so otherwise

On Berk, Astrid was becoming restless as the Shield Maiden was wondering why this "Drayko the Viking Slayer" kill Hiccup of all people? Who is really behind that Mask and most importantly, where is his Kingdom? The sooner the raids and delays stop happening, the sooner that they can set sail for Draconia and bring Drayko to justice for murdering the Chief's Son

Reannounce the Birthrights and exile himself as an Self-Outcast, it matters not; it fucking matters not as Hiccup IS and FOREVER WILL BE Stoick's Son, none of it matters at all. She would rather have him as the heir as Snotlout because he can't do Yak-Shit

"I'll have you apprehended Drayko the Viking Slayer, you'll know just what kind of hell you're going to get for what you did" She spoke with venom in her voice, sharpening the blades of her Gronckle Iron axe with an grindstone as she wanted to keep it sharp for when she decapitates that moronic, trickster and murderous Devil Rider

"That day will come, I swear on my Uncle's life. My family's Honor will be restored and the Sea of the Archipelago that surrounds Berk, will be your grave..."

Next Chapter is even shorter because it's about heading towards the location where our Heroes are about to discover the fate of General Scorpio and the Villagers that they were protecting. BTW Hoped you enjoyed the Lore behind the Silver Knife as well as my narration for Hiccup Horrendous Haddock I and II since I had to take alot from the Books in order to build up a structure for the history behind Hiccup/Drayko's life. Remember this suggestion: Don't like it, don't read it. Otherwise, Feel free to Review and Until we meet again as I will return...

P.S: Drayko's Armor will be given some new additions later on in the Story such as some new pieces of armor for him and he might be given an change in his haircut. What I mean by that is that although his hair remains the same, he'll be given some faded sides and longer bangs; but until then it stays the same
