Chapter 12

In the morning, Stoick formed up 4 search parties of 20 men to search the entire island of Berk, Maaran formed 6 search parties of 60 dragons to search the air, and Hiccup and Astrid formed plans on how to approach the enemy or rescue Toothless and Azora if hurt on another island. For hours the searches turned up nothing until Maaran got informed by a Sawyere Jock that he heard roars from a ship that was sailing into the east. Maaran immediately called back the search parties from the west, north, and south and sent them to the east after informing Stoick, Hiccup, and Astrid.

"We will take no mercy on them after they are captured Chief." Maaran informed Stoick quietly with Anthia by his side.

"Understood." Stoick said as he and the villagers hopped onto their dragons and soared off into the east, the Sawyere Jock leading them to the source of the roars it heard.

Hiccup and Astrid both flew on Stormfly as they flew to the east and as the sun rose into the sky, both got a huge feeling of dread as the sun grew ever brighter. "I hope that they are okay…"Hiccup murmured.

"I hope so too Hiccup." Astrid said as she sat behind him on her dragon. "I hope so too."

When Azora and Toothless woke up, they were unfortunately once again bombarded with the smell of the Draco's Beriah and due to that they were again mating for the second time in a short period. As Toothless unknotted from Azora, he once again found himself apologizing for what he did to her before they went into their own respective corners in the room, both depressed on what they are being forced to do.

Azora gazed upon Toothless as another fish piled on top of his untouched mea; from the night and this morning. Her pile wan't much better but she knew that she needed her strength as much as she felt like wasting away. She sighed heavily before slowly going over to Toothless and sitting on front of him. "Toothless?" She asked gaining his attention.

Toothless was surprised that she came over, let alone felt even comfortable sitting in front of him. "Yes?" He whispered hoarsely.

"Please eat…" she said quietly looking into his eyes calmly.

"I don't deserve food…" he said back looking ashamedly at the floor. "I broke a promise towards you."

Azora looked surprised at what he said but decided to ask about that promise another time. "Toothless," Azora said a bit more seriously. "I want you to make me a new promise…"

Toothless looked up at her again. "A promise?" He asked.

Azora nodded. "I want you to promise me to never leave me alone, never give up, and never let…our little ones go to these wretched humans."

Toothless' head snapped up at the mention of little ones and his eyes were wide. "Do you think-?"

Azora shook her head silently. "Not yet but at the rate that they are making us go at, it probably won't be long."

Toothless nodded but soon, a thought crossed his mind. "Azora," he said. "If or when you get pregnant, do you think the mix will stop affecting you?"

Azora only shook her head unknowing. "I am not sure but if it does start to not affect me, I will say the words 'no' when the next canister is distributed in our prison."

Toothless nodded. "So I know it will still affect me but should we mate even then?"

Azora, as much as she hated to admit it, nodded. "We don't know if they can watch us so acting and pretending is certainly out of the question." Toothless nodded and sat up a bit. "Now eat Toothless," Azora said walking away quietly. "I don't want to tell Hiccup that you died because of starvation."

Toothless huffed at her phrased words and gulped down a fish, feeling a little better that their friendship hasn't totally been severed because of these wretched humans.

As the two ate, Ragnok watched them closely through the tiniest of holes by the door. He leaned back rubbing his beard as he saw the male take the offered fish as the female walked away. Usually dragon's when under this mixture spent time for hours together and, out of previous observations, he knew they were not brother and sister nor were they father and daughter. Past experiences showed that those types of pairings went unaffected by the mixture, probably because instinct would not allow them to do it to the close familial blood.

He scowled. This meant that they have known each other for a bit yet denied the instinct to be together as partners for some reason. He would have to increase the dose that these two were getting and make sure that the female and male would not start to hate each other during this process. A dragon argument is not something buyers would take kindly to when he sold their offspring.

Ragnok got away from the hole snapping his fingers at a dark hooded figure nearby. "Yes, Captain?" A raspy male voice said while bowing slightly.

"I want the dose of Dragon's Lust doubled or tripled for these two." He said. "The one dose we gave seem to be giving the dragons some mixed feelings. I need that fixed as soon as possible." The hooded figure bowed before disappearing down the dark hallway. Ragnok put his hand on the door and barged in, showing the startled dragons his horrendous smile.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Azora and Toothless almost jumped in the air as the door to their prison slammed oped and Ragnok barged in with the smile that usually meant cruel things. "Ah," the man boomed loudly. "I see you aren't quite reacting the way I need you two, my lovely pets."

Azora immediately snarled at the word he used and started to stalk forward in anger saying, "What did you call me?" She knew Ragnok couldn't understand her but his cold eyes seem to say otherwise.

"I see the Adria is angry," he laughed showing another canister at ready as she continued her approach even more when he called her Adria.

Azora knew he was teasing and baiting her by calling her an Adria or in another term it is also known as an Adie to males and 'dark one' in interpretation but her rage was starting to take over. Toothless got up immediately when he saw the canister but Azora was what made him step forward to try and intervene.

"You might want to control your mate here young Adie." Ragnok said unafraid as he tossed a rag into Azora's slightly open mouth which she spit out with a growl. "I don't think you need all the cans that are on me to go off at once now do you?"

Toothless immediately looked alarmed at the prospect of that and stood in front of Azora making her angered gaze shift from Ragnok straight to Toothless and he flinched at the amount of hatred in her gaze. "Azora," he said softly trying to get through to her. "I know you hate him, I do too but he can't have him letting loose any more of those canisters right now. We can't escape from here right now so even if we kill him, we cannot get to safety." Azora's eyes narrowed at his words and she hardened her hatred even more for the man behind Toothless. "Please Azora," Toothless begged suddenly putting his head on hers. "I promised to never let the humans lay their hands on you and to protect you."

Azora immediately froze at the reminder and looked down before turning and walking away from him. "Doesn't change the fact I hate him with all my being." She muttered.

Toothless turned and looked at Ragnok with hatred burning in his eyes but did nothing to instigate a fight with the man. "Smart dragon." Ragnok said putting the canister away. "If you keep her from doing things like that, you might even have a place at my kings personal home." He kept on smiling at Toothless for a minute before turning and heading out the door but before closing it all the way he said, "By the way, the one dose I figured isn't doing enough. I'm adding more to it."

As he slammed the door shut, Azora ran to it and started to ram it in pure anger at what he said. She roared and clawed at the seemingly indestructible door for a good half hour or so before immediately collapsing in exhaustion.

Toothless wasn't sure what all to do as Azora whimpered in misery and hopelessness but he went up to her quivering form and lightly nudged her head before purring. "I'm sorry Toothless." He heard Azora whimper.

"For what?"

Azora looked at him, her big blue eyes misty and clouded from the stress. "This…" she then punched on him making him fall onto his back as she went on top of him and put her nose to his once more out of her own volition.

Toothless was shocked but his arousal soon started to grow as she lowered her mouth to his neck and nibbled on it with her teeth. He had no idea why this would be happening until he caught a whiff of a familiar sweet smell coming from her and instantly knew that Ragnok did something to her with that rag. "Azora…" he said as she kept on the work on his neck as his arousal started to grow even more.

Azora whimpered as a pain once again started to form and she climbed off Toothless getting into position as she looked at him with lustful eyes and panting mouth and he obliged her by getting on top and caressing her neck gently with nibbles and licks before plunging into her wetness. He groaned as he was enveloped by the warmth and stayed still for a second before starting a harsh yet slow rhythm. As he watched her, he thought of how beautiful she looked. Her perfect sleek black scales, her sky blue eyes that shone with emotions, her heart, and her whole being. He looked at her deeply thrusting into her and realized, he truly cared deeply for her.

Azora felt him once again as he rammed into her over and over, and growled as he went faster and harder, feeling pleasure tingle throughout her whole body. She glanced up at him through the corner of her eyes and marveled how big his form was compared to hers yet he knew to be gentle as he plunged into her over and over. His eyes were open and as she caught his with hers, she felt the world stop. His eyes showed only pure caring and love within them and as she once again erupted in complete bliss she could not control her roar of pleasure as she yelled out a single word, "Toothless!"

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Maaran, who had Hiccup on his back, soared as fast as he could while slightly behind the Sawyere Jock all while thinking of all the things that he would do to those who dared capture his daughter. He glanced behind him as the other dragons, some with riders and some without, followed him with determination. Anthia soared with the group, sometimes riding on the backs of others when she was tired out, but the rage on her face told him that she was just as angry as he was.

It's been over 4 hours that they lifted off and Maaran could just smell the faint scent of humans as the sun rose overhead and he roared in absolute fury when he saw the tiny outline of the ship ahead of him. He looked to the Sawyere Jock and said, "Thank you for leading us to this!"

The Sawyere Jock nodded and fell back a bit as Maaran took over the lead. "Hiccup!" He said loudly at the boy on his back. "We are almost to the ones that stole Toothless and Azora." He tensed his muscles in preparation.

"So," Hiccup said gripping onto Maaran tighter. "Get ready for super speed?"

"Get ready for super speed."

As soon as he said that, he adjusted his position with his wings and tail and soared forward with the trademark scream only his kind could produce in the air. The other dragons behind him soon followed after and as they came ever closer to the ship, more emotions of anger spread as they saw the pirate flag that was flying in the wind.

"Hiccup," Maaran growled as he smelled the scents of his daughter and Toothless in the air but he also smelt something else that was with them. "There is a smell in the air that has us dragons tense and on guard. Can you smell anything on the wind yet or no?"

Hiccup took a sniff through the air and a small but familiar smell flowed through his senses. "It smells like Dragon's nip." He said to Maaran. "We use it in small doses to calm dragons when we know they are enraged or in pain but this smells like a large batch."

Maaran's eyes narrowed and he slowed down a tiny bit as the ship was just beyond reach. With his eyes, he saw humans yelling and heading for weapons as they spotted them. A few minutes went by before the rest of the dragons and villagers showed and the men below were clearly lost on what to do until one man stepped out of the cabin by the helm and laughed raspy, making Maaran's ears hurt and Hiccup's stomach tighten in apprehensiveness.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Ragnok walked out of his cabin and laughed as he observed all the people and dragons that were flying by and surrounding his ship. One person caught his eye and he had to laugh even more as he observed the nightfury that the kid was riding on. He waited patiently as the dragons with the people riding them were close enough before yelling out, "Halt!"

The dragons did as told and the largest viking riding on top of a Rumblehorn came forward and spoke in a booming voice, "You have stolen two things that belong to the isle of Berk. We will give you one chance to return them unharmed and we will let you go peacefully."

Ragnok recognized him instantly when he said Berk and smiled maliciously. "Stoick the Vast." He said loudly. "I don't think you understand the value of the dragons that you kept on your isle." His eyes gazed over to the kid. "Those nightfury's are a gold mine waiting to happen."

"They are not things you can just possess!" The kid yelled out as he and the nightfury moved closer to the ship. "They are creatures that know pain, happiness, guilt, sadness, and loyalty! You are doing the wrong thing by capturing them with the intent to sell them and make them slaves!"

Ragnok huffed and pondered over the kids words as he walked the ship deck in a careless manner. "Slaves could be a term for it." He said to the boy. "You are Hiccup are you not?"

"Yes I am," the boy confirmed. "And I fight for dragons."

"So you are the one who is making it seem like dragons are innocent and friendly creatures."

"He is showing that a dragon's loyalty is earned just like any other creatures is." Stoick boomed in defense of his son.

Ragnok hummed and snapped his fingers. Instantly 4 hooded people came forward from behind Ragnok and bowed. "Get the dragons." He said simply. The hooded figures nodded before going through a door that lead to below deck. "I have no need for bloodshed on my vessel." Ragnok said simply.

"Smart move on your part, pirate." Stoick gravely said as he noticed Ragnok's smirk appear on his face when one of the hooded figured appeared back on deck saying something into Ragnok's ear. "What are you smug about?"

"It appears you're going to have to wait to take them." He laughed. "They are a bit preoccupied with some things."

Hiccup frowned and said, "You will get them now!"

"Ragnok laughed once more saying, "Boy, if you want to be killed and ripped apart by all means you can come get them yourself! But I have learned to never interrupt when two dragons are in the middle of mating."

After Ragnok said that, roars were heard from below deck and Ragnok's smile got even more cruel looking as the nightfury's eyes widened and Hiccup, along with Stoick, looked horrified.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Toothless huffed harshly as he and Azora once again mated for another couple hours and finished in complete bliss. "By the Aadhav," Toothless said. "I hate to say this Azora, but you are insatiable…"

Azora huffed and rolled her eyes as they separated from one another. "Males always seem to boast about being stronger yet here one is complaining about a female being longer lasting than him." She said sarcastically.

"Don't do a Hiccup on me…" Toothless begged with pleading eyes as she looked at him. "I don't think my brain can handle two sarcastic beings."

Azora, for the first time since being captured, laughed in utter joy. "I don't think I could even if I wanted to Toothless!" She said calming down a tiny bit. "Don't get me wrong, Hiccup is a wonderful being but sometimes…"

"He can be a bit too much 'Hiccup'?" Toothless said.

"Yeah." Azora smiled.

Toothless huffed and smirked. "He wouldn't be him if he wasn't."

"True."

Suddenly, the door of their prison opened and a hooded figure came in saying, "The riders of Berk have come to take you. Our Captain does not want bloodshed on his ship so he has opted to release you back to them for the time being." Both Toothless and Azora scurried back into a corner, both untrusting and wary at what the figure told them. The hooded figure nodded to them. "I will leave you now and you may come to the deck area when ready. Your tail prosthetics will be with the boy that calls himself Hiccup so he may put them on you." The figure then left the two alone and disappeared.

Azora and Toothless were extremely cautious and so as they went towards the door, Toothless moved out it first and looked around the hallway, finding it empty and a door at the end of the hall showing the outside. "It's clear Azora," Toothless said quietly as he silently went down the hall towards the door leading to the deck with Azora right behind him.

Azora cautiously sniffed around and as the door came closer and closer she smelled more and more dragons but one stood out more than the rest. "Toothless," she said suddenly scared and apprehensive. "Papa is out there."

Toothless froze in mid step close to the doorframe, almost touching the light from outside as he took in the scent of the elder Aglovale Helmar. Maaran would kill him if he knew what had transpired between Azora and himself. He broke the promise to him and knew Maaran would be severely angered at him for doing so. "We need to get off this ship Azora." He said with his ears back and a guilty look upon his face. "No matter the consequences back at home, we need to get away from here."

Azora nodded and stepped next to him. "We go out together then." She said making him look at her in surprise. "Together we will be strong."

Toothless smiled and they took the final step out of the door and onto the deck.
