I am so sorry for not updating in over a month! I was busy with work and school and getting used to my new life and I just couldn't find the time to properly finish this chapter. I can't promise anything about the next update but I try not to take as long as last time.

Shout-out:

Moniurek: Thank you!

Enjoy everyone!

Chapter 30
[Toothless drops Astrid onto a boulder]

ASTRID

„Go."

[Hiccup notices something.]

HICCUP

„That thing has wings! Okay, let's see if it can use them!"

It should do.

[Toothless blasts various fire balls at the Red Death, throwing him off-balance.]

HICCUP

„Do you think that did it?"

For sure.

[The giant wings of the monstrous dragon open and he takes to the air.]

HICCUP

„Well, he can fly."

And quite good for his size.

[The vikings cheer as Toothless and Hiccup fly past with the giant beast on their heels.]

HICCUP

„Okay, Toothless, time to disappear! Come on, bud!"

[They fly towards the cloud cover, the Red Death after them. Up there Toothless has the advantage of shooting blasts without being seen.]

„Why don't you just stay hidden?" I ask, narrowing my eyes.

[The vikings below are only able to see the blasts.]

[After a while the Red Death grows tired of constantly being shot at, so he spews out a giant blaze that lights up the sky and sets Toothless' artificial tailfin aflame.]

HICCUP

„Watch out! Okay, time's up! Let's see if this works."

[Toothless flies past the dragon's mouth who starts chasing after them.]

HICCUP

„COME ON! IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!"

[The flight goes straight down to the ground. Toothless is visibly tensing.]

Oh, I think I know where this is leading.

HICCUP

„Stay with me, buddy. We're good. Just a little bit longer."

[The Red Death is preparing to shoot, which is exactly what Hiccup had been waiting for.]

I felt how my whole body began to tighten.

HICCUP

„Hold, Toothless... NOW!"

[Toothless turns around and shoots a plasmablast straight into the open mouth of his pursuer, who bursts into flames from the inside out. Toothless swerves to the side and the giant whooshes past. When he tries to open his wings to break the fall they rip apart and the dragon strikes the ground in a massive explostion. Toothless tries to fly away despite the broken tailfin. Mere moments before they manage to escape Toothless collides with the Red Death's tail bludgeon.]

„NO!" I could audibly hear myself scream in my sleep.

HICCUP

„No! NO!"

[Hiccup falls off Toothless' back and drops towards the flames below. Toothless dives after him while flames fill the screen completely.]

Oh please, let everything be alright!

So, I'm trying to start the next chapter as soon as possible but it might take until december to actually go up as I have several exams coming this month. Please be patient with me 3
