Chapter 2

After a short time spent navigating the massive halls and rooms inside the mountain, Drago stepped foot into a massive chamber filled with hundreds of tons of pure gold (as well as numerous jewels of various colors) piled throughout the large hall. There's enough gold here to assemble an army at least 10 times larger than my last one! Drago joyfully thought. Little did Drago know, but he'd just found the treasure room of the former Dwarf kingdom of Erebor, and with the treasure room, a terrifying secret was about to be uncovered. As Drago reveled in the immense newfound wealth, a loud and unexpected breath of air snapped the brutal dragon-abuser back to reality. Someone, or rather, something, had sensed Drago's presence. As Drago turned around, the gargantuan dragon Smaug (as he appeared in The Hobbit movie trilogy) emerged from one of the enormous treasure piles covering the chamber. However, Drago, realizing that Smaug was a dragon, and an impressively large one at that, thought, This could be my key to vengeance against the people of Berk for their insolence!

With that, Drago channeled all his fury towards Hiccup, Toothless, and the people of Berk into savage, animalistic screams while swinging his branch wildly above his head, intent on cowing Smaug into submitting to him. Nonetheless, due to Smaug's colossal size (his wingspan alone was the equivalent of at least 2 Boeing 747 jets) and intellect, Drago's dragon-controlling technique ended up having no effect on the self-proclaimed "King Under the Mountain". Watching this futile attempt at dominance, Smaug (while amused at Drago's nerve) decided it was time to put the relentless madman in his place. Smaug thus thundered, "Who are you that would stand against me?" to Drago, stunning the tyrant into speechlessness. Drago was utterly taken aback at Smaug's words, as the former had never heard a dragon speak before. However, Drago nervously regained his composure, declaring, "I am the one who you will call master, as all dragons bow down to me!" Smaug found this utterly uproarious, and a twisted smirk formed on his face as he asked, "You have the audacity to think I will become the lapdog of you, a crippled excuse for a man? As amusing as that is to imagine, I can assure you, 'dragon master', you are sorely mistaken!" Upon hearing this supercilious declaration, Drago internally decided, That does it. It's time for this arrogant beast to witness the true meaning of the strength of will over others!
