Berk
Hiccup glanced up towards the sky, Toothless walked not far behind him. With a sigh, Hiccup leaned against the trunk of a tree. His eyes watching out over the village below. "What have I done?" The guilt of speaking to Astrid, to his wife earlier had pained him. "What overcame me?" Toothless rested his head upon the ground and groaned lightly. "Yeah yeah." Toothless snorted and faced away from Hiccup. "Useless reptile."
Resting his head within his hands, Hiccup felt lost. He didn't know what to do. Glancing back at Toothless, he watched as the dragon eyed him with caution. Blinking, Toothless quickly took to the sky. Lost, Hiccup sighed and rest against the tree, his eyes closing as he thought.
"You are lost, those you belief can help you can't." Hiccup quickly found himself in a different place. Shadows covered the area, a purple and black like mist blurred out much detail. Glancing round, Hiccup moved his hand to his axe, ready for anything that might attack him. "You feel weak, helpless, alone." The voice spoke once more. Hiccup carefully observed his surroundings. Large pillars of black stone towered up, holding up a large ceiling. Between the pillars, were many statues. Hiccup could make out a rough outline of the pillars, a figure holding an axe and sword. A helmet with two horns. A torn cape. Spiked shoulder guards, they were all Hiccup could make out.
"Who are you?" The voice chuckled, dark, rough, but evil, the voice was chill creating. Hiccup felt a chill of fear run down his spine. "I am known by many names. But who I am does not matter. You fear the future, you fear what lies ahead of you." Hiccup gulped as something moved in the shadows. the voice laughed once more. Hiccup noticed more about the voice, it was sinister, full of darkness and ambition. Power. Hiccup felt another chill of fear run down his spine, this one larger then the first. "I'm not afraid of you." The voice chuckled once more. "I can smell your fear, I can feel the chills slowly climbing down your spine. I can sense your pain, the shaking of guilt, the fear, the shadows in your heart."
Hiccup shook his head as he grasped his axe. "Who are you?" A figure slowly emerged from the shadows, he was different, his eyes were red with slits for pupils, he had two horns upon his head, both were a pitch black. Below his chin, rested three spikes, the outer spikes curved inwards towards the central spike. A set of wings rested upon his back. Much like a bat and Toothless' wings, but coloured in a darker red. His hands were clawed, black claws extending from the tip of his fingers. "As I said before, I go by many names, but who I am doesn't matter. You, you are a pawn in the game that the gods placed upon you. You are no champion, you are a fake leader, one to target while the gods save their own skin." Hiccup shook his head. "You lie." The figure chuckled. "I am many things, but a liar is not one of them. I speak only truth, the truth as observed by myself."
Hiccup stepped back. "I don't know who you are, but you seem to be the cause of all this pain, off all this death and destruction." The figure shook his head. "You may be right, yet I only seek to reclaim what was taken from my great ancestor billions of years before I came to be born. You are but a pawn in this game of war, a pawn of foolish weaklings who fear to loose all they hold close to their heart, to loose the power they hold now." Hiccup blinked, stepping back more as he grasped the axe harder. "I refuse to believe you, you're the evil one here." The figure laughed. "Evil, that is a term I always seem to receive, no matter what I do. But you will bring me my blade, you shall retrieve the Blade of Shadowflame." Hiccup widen his eyes. "I will never do your bidding." The figure shook his head before backing up into the shadows. "Then you leave me no choice. Everything you know and love... Will burn to the ground in fire, shadows will consume your loved ones, darkness shall devour your homes, chaos shall engulf your people, and evil shall rein victorious. For you Hiccup Horrendous Haddock The Third, have never seen or faced anyone or thing like me before. I shall bring your people to their knees, your dragons will be slain, your children forced to slave away and join my armies. Everything you love will feel the wrath I can bring down upon you all." Hiccup widen his eyes as a purple flaming dragon quickly moved out.
Hiccup quickly rose from the tree, his eyes wide, sweat rolling down his forehead. He was breathing heavily, beside him, Astrid sat, Stoick and Valka watched him closely. "Hiccup, are you alright?" Astrid asked. Hiccup closed his eyes, tears quickly forming. Astrid was quick to bring Hiccup into a hug. "What happened? What did you see?" Hiccup swallowed hard. "I saw the cause of all this, he spoke to me, attempting to get me to join him, to bring him this Blade of Shadowflame to him." Stoick froze quickly, his eyes glancing up towards the mountain behind Berk. "Odin help us."
