'YELLING IN THOUGHT'
*Flashback*
Feeling the Wrath of Evil
Evil on a night like this. Evil tasting like a twisted wish. Evil paralyzed upon the ground. Evil tastes the tears of fear. Evil tainted sounds of cheer. Evil dripping down; your blood of hate. Evil tearing down your helpless fate. Evil swears that by the night's end. Evil won't say it was all pretend. Evil because Death will follow you. Evil until full content. Evil pleasured to full extent….by kelsi gray.

Day is clear and uneventful as small critters just goes on with their survival to store food or eat as much food as their stomach can't bare before the winter season as nothing can disturb their usual routine.
But, unaware that under the grassy field they totter on where darkness is trapped as it lurk through the soil of desperate escape.
Lurking like slithering snake, one thin black colored ooze crawling on grassy field to nowhere in particular. When it spot a small furry Squirrel munching on his nut with his back on thin ooze. The ooze push through the ground and slither under the soil to its unexpected prey.
The Squirrel is happily enjoying his good nut that he is heedless of the upcoming danger lurking from behind, and before the squirrel can react the ooze burst out of the ground so suddenly and engulf the Squirrel and then suddenly the ooze disappear like a shadow along with captured Squirrel.
However, the ooze did not disappear to thin air but more like return to his lair or more like a prison to where its master lay there. The black ooze dig through the rough soul till it broke free when he reach a large hidden secret lair/prison living under ground.
A cavern so dark and cold filled with emptiness and deprive any life or warmth to seep in, and it claws with evil wickedness that make anything and anyone scream in terror.
The cavern houses many and many of black ooze from everywhere, all gliding like vultures circling slowly on the rooftop like waiting for the prey to die in agony and feats on its flesh. The one ooze who has been on the surface glided down till it stood before his mighty master.
The ooze's master is an overly large Dragon with thin long neck that stretches long. His scale is as black as the night and spikes formed all over, there is one that stretches from the top of his head to the tip of his tail and there is three spike on each of his jaw looking deadly and vicious. Claws sprouting from his front legs and hind legs are curved and sharp that can cut steel easily like cutting a cake, his jaw is pointy and thin but his teeth are crocodile teeth while his horns are pointing downward.
This large Dragon is chained with pure moonbeam stones preventing him from escaping and subduing his powers. This Dragon is known and feared just by mentioning his name, he was called by Lord of Nightmare, the King of Fear, and the Bringer of Darkness. He is Pitch Black the Dragon of Dark.
This evil and mighty Dragon of Dark stood emotionless as a statue even when he senses his ooze has returned. The ooze present his master the catch of the day as it spit out the captured Squirrel right before its master.
Said master has finally opened his eyes very slowly and soon dreadful and cold yellow eyes look down unamused at frighten Squirrel froze on the spot when it faced at the scary black Dragon.
The Squirrel's eyes bugged out as it fur stood out in fear before the scary Dragon before it finally command his feet to run as far from the monster as possible, but it was too late when a colossus paw with long curved ebony claws trapped the Squirrel like a cage before Pitch lifted it up till he reach to his eyes.
"What a pathetic looking morsel." Said Dragon with a British accent as he huffs.
"Hardly filling my appetite," the black Dragon is clenching his clawed paw ever slowly earning a frightening squeak from the Squirrel.
"I once was great and mighty Dragon with power of Fear and Darkness as my ally, I have the power to rule till that accursed Manny trapped me…me, Pitch Black under a pile of dirt and I'm eating measly, parasite infested rodent!" he roared so loud that the ground from above shake like an earthquake and his black sand creatures slithered away in fear from their angry master and as for the Squirrel it wished he was those black creatures because of Pitch's anger he squashed it to mush, killing it instantly as blood dripping down from its paw.
Pitch look at his paw with dead Squirrel on it looking unaffected that he killed a small creature, he shrugged and eat his meal with one gulp with ease.
"But I won't be staying here for long," he clench and unclench his ebony large paw as he pull those iron chains and then he feel it the iron chains are weakening which mean soon, very soon that he would be no longer prisoner, he will finally be free, free to sink his teeth of revenge on ones who imprisoned him, use his mighty power to enslave everyone into his world of Fear and Darkness, and then he will become the most powerful King of all.
"Be aware, your highness for I, Pitch Black is returning shortly." His yellow eyes glow with a promise that his vengeance will be ever so sweet as he grins villainously.
An intake of sudden gasp from King Manny has made him stumble and fall.
The graceful King is not looking well; the once mighty and kind ruler is slowly reducing into a weak state that he could barely stand on his four paws.
His scaly white skin is beginning to lose its glow, his old age has begun to catch up to him painfully, and what's worse he knew the reason why he feels poorly.
Pitch Black is slowly regaining his Dark powers which mean his pure magic cannot hold him much longer, and he won't be here to stop him this time. Time is running short he must do what he intended in the first place, it is finally their time to begin to take his place as the new Rulers of this land.
"YOUR MAJESITY!?" a shouting of great worry raise his head of an old Dragon King and stare upon his old friend, North.
North the mighty and large Dragon of red like fire and his eyes are crystal blue held gentleness, but his eyes are now filled with concern as he goes to him and low his head under Manny's jaw.
"Are you alright, my King?" he earned a chuckle from King Manny.
"North, how many times must I repeat it to you? You may call me by my name, dear friend."
"Haha! Pardon my diplomatic manner, your majes…I-I mean, Manny." He chuckle with his old friend as he helps him up to sitting position as Manny let out a sigh and stood in full height.
"Thank you, North. It would seem that my age has begun to get to me." He admitted without feeling ashamed.
"Don't say such things. You didn't listen to any of us when we told you many times you need rest."
"I can't rest, North…not while he still out there!" he said as he scowls.
North cursed under his breath as he understood what his friend, Manny referred to. The very creature of fear and destruction is leisurely returning and he with no doubt that he will come flying to their land, unleash his fury of Nightmares upon the innocents, and then if he achieved his ultimate goal he will plague the world with his darkness of fear and he'll bring an end to the world as they know it. Unless they stop him like they did many years ago.
"Pitch is strong, yes, but together we beat him and we will beat him again!" North exclaimed but Manny shake his head.
"No, my friend we only mired him long enough for the true protagonists to finally end Pitch's dark fear irreversibly!" It got North's mind to ponder on what his King meant of all this till his eyes got wide in comprehension and look at his King with bewilderment.
"Manny…do you mean? Are they ready for this?" He turns to him fully and his bewilderment expression has turn into worry.
"But, Manny they are still young and they're powers are yet complete. They need time!"
"His time is fast-approaching, North! And it is time for them to embark their destiny." He looks at his old friend with fierce momentousness of a King of this proud land.
North is helpless and powerless at his mighty friend's command as he bows his head in defeat. Manny see this as he adds.
"Assemble the other Guardians, it is time!" North bows again and left to fetch his friends.
Once North left Manny let out a shuddering sigh as he slightly bow his head, he knew, for certain, that these two young Dragons will not like the burden they will about to carry to face this horrid monster that will come blunder the land and putting the fate of innocents on their shoulders.
He closes his eyes with solemn face as he mumbles to himself.
"Jack, Helena. Be prepared, young ones, your awaiting legacy has inwards."
How true this wise, old, dying Dragon is.
The morning sun rise and shine upon a good morning to the good creatures of big and small.
In the land of mighty Dragons all rose up as soon as the sun sat up on the sky and begin their ritual routine for the day.
Each Dragon is awake and refreshed except for those two teen Dragon who are still huddling together in their cave, still slumbering so peacefully.
They are Helena and Toothless are still sleeping, not feeling get up anytime soon. All they want is to stay in their dreamless sleep with each other's warmth, and no one can bother them.
"TOOTHLESS! HELENA! TIME TO RISE UP AND BID US GOOD MORNING!" that was their Mother who disturb them and their sleep outside of their respective cave.
They groan in agony and mumbling something stupid like why the sun had risen up like that, they were so peaceful in their sleep and Mother had to bellow from her lungs like cry for battle or something.
Well, they are not getting up they'll stay in bed for as long as they like, and there is nothing that can make them get off from this spot. NOTHING!
"IF TWO DON'T GET OFF IN THE NEXT FIVE SECOND YOU WILL GET SERIOUSLY, AND UNBELIEVABLY WET!" that's for sure got them wide awake.
They eyes snapped open and fast as lightning they untangle themselves and quickly sprint outside of their cave and both chant all together.
"We're up, we're up!" Toothless and Helena's mother raise her rigid eye expecting them to say something to her.
Confused at first before they get it what she wants and it made them to roll their eyes, but nevertheless they chant at the same time.
"Good morning, Mother!" one they contribute her good morning their Mother whose she is named Valka smile gently to her children.
"Good morning, my wee darlings." Then Valka start to lick their forehead, a habit that never cease since Toothless and Helena were hatchlings.
"Mom~ this is embarrassing." Toothless moves away from her while wiping the drool off of his face and hope no one saw him.
Valka is an Aqua Dragon, a power to control over water by her command. She is a beautiful Dragoness with auburn colored scale like Helena but much darker and she owns two gorgeous light green eyes. Now you know where Helena took her good looks from, huh?
"Now, that you two up and about we have lots of chores to do." She earn two groan of misery from her hatchlings, things never change as she surpassed a smile from coming out.
"Now quit your whining your Father will come home late since his meeting will be long so he'll be late for dinner. So, Toothless it's your turn to catch fishes and promise me not to nipple them, please?"
"Mom~"
"And Helena your job is bring wood since we run out of it and while you're at it, be a dear and pick some berries and fruits if you can find."
Yes, you've guessed it. Dragons are fish lovers as much they love to dig in on juicy, sweet fruits, but one thing that is known for Dragons that they deeply loath and despised eels that made their skins crawl just by thinking it.
"After you two finish gathering up the supplies they'll be more chores to finish later." Again she earns more groan of misery from her hatchlings.
"Oh, don't be so over-dramatic it'll be over before you know it. Now, off to it, no dilly dally-Stoick!" Valka exclaimed in surprise when she look up through her hatchling's shoulders.
Descending from above is a bulky Dragon just as large as North, but he was dubbed as the mightiest warrior in all the land as Stoick the Vast. He is big, strong and loyal to the fault not to mention he is the commanding officer of his own army legion of any case of any danger rising.
His tough brown scale is hard and tough that if you lunge a spear it'll break once it hit, his massive claws are like swords on each fingers as well as his spikes from his neck across his back to the tip of his tail, and his horns are large and easy to penetrate to almost anything. All in all he is one truly powerful and he is also hone the power of Earth that crushes his enemies by throwing boulders and unleash mighty earthquake.
As soon his feet touch the ground beneath him greeted his cherished family with frown worry look on his once hard face of a commander. Valka notice it right away, stride her way to him and nuzzle her snout to her mate try to calm his worry.
"What is wrong?" she searches with her eyes to see what causes her mate to wear such a face, Stoick grunt and spoke.
"Get our hatchling to the Meade Forest, King Manny has…an announcement to make and it is important that all of us must be presence at once." He shortens his explanation as Valka took his word in concern and notice that his voice is shaken made her worry.
"Stoick?"
"Valka…there is no, do it now!" then she saw in his eyes are unfamiliar to her that she never thought she could see in her mate's eyes, these are the eyes of sorrow, anger, and fear because he had glance at his precious Daughter not too minutes ago, and Valka knew immediately made her intake her breath harshly.
"Hurry! Now!" he said one last time before he flies away, probably to report to the other Dragons to meet the King.
Valka feel sick, very sick. Why now? Her Helena is still hatchling is she ready for this, to face this awful burden that fate stows upon her? Her utmost fear is coming true, and she feels herself crumbling.
"Mom…Mom!" it snapped out of Valka and look to stare at Helena with concern.
"Are you alright? What's going on? And why is Dad look like he has seen a ghost or something?"
"…All will be explained, but now we must go to Meade Forest right now, our majesty is making his declaration." Helena is about to ask her why when she is too late when Valka open her wings to fly and expecting her hatchling to follow without question.
She turns to look at her older brother but he shrugged as no idea what's going on and follow his mother. Somehow in Helena's gut that something tells her that she won't like it all, but she flies off with her family.
They have arrived to Meade Forest and both Helena and Toothless are shocked to see large numbers of Dragons all here in the great Meade Forest, like never before. Each of them has questionable expressions on their scaled faces and with worry as well. Whenever their King announce his declaration in this beautiful evergreen forest can only trouble, but it really confuses them because trouble and worry were no longer linger on their land since the evil Pitch's defeat. So, what is their King worry about?
Helena is getting a little nervous and a little worried; she hopes that whatever news her King is announcing won't be disturbing to worry to the Dragons. One Dragon comes close to her without Helena to notice until a voice she recognizes so well.
"Hiya sweet, glad you drop by." She got startled before she spins to see who spoke, and she huffed when she finds out its no other than the loveable annoying Jack Frost with his annoying grin to match.
Jack heard from practically everyone talking about King's Manny has made his appearance to announce about something that no one knows yet, getting everyone slight agitated. Then Aster came to his cave telling him to come to the Meade Forest, every last Dragons must be there no excuses whatsoever.
So he flew and got here, he walked around without making eyes contact to anyone since he's not exactly the most popular guy around here till he spotted her, he sprouted a great big grin before he quickly shed that grin he don't want to make himself a big fool here, so he start to act cool, and charming.
He may not got the reaction he wants but he must admit when she get frustrated like that scrunching her snout, her eyes blank and narrowed, those amazing gorgeous hewed emerald eyes that he feels himself lost in them.
And he did just that with realizing himself he did.
Helena look at hypnotized Jack funnily, one minute he was all cocky and then the next thing happen is…she have no idea what is wrong with him?
Whatever is wrong with him she needs to stop it because it's freaking her out.
"Jack…Jack…JACK!?" well, yelling didn't work. Well there is more effective approach.
She bonks his head…real hard, and Jack yelped in pain while she tries to surpass a smirk that is coming out.
"OW! Why would you do that?"
"Three reasons, one you were staring and it's creeping me out, two you look stupid and three…because it was fun." Then she couldn't hold it in anymore and she smirks because the look on his face is so worth it.
Jack can feel his cheeks are flaring up from letting himself become a fool right in front of Helena, the Dragoness he likes.
Then all of a sudden everything gone silent that caused booth Helena and Jack to look around them in confused expression as they see the Dragons and Dragonesses are all staring right before them with focused attention.
Jack and Helena looked up to see the great and wise King Manny appeared before them alone with four Guardians, two on each side of him in protection circle and all wearing an impassive expression on their faces.
King Manny the great white Dragon walk up to them with grace and power with each step, and as soon he stood before them the Dragons and Dragoness bow in respect and love for their King.
Manny nod once as his subjects look up to him once again as wait for his unknown announcement. The King look old but strong as his eyes has seen the tragedy and pain of war from long before, he had seen things that would make anyone go mad, he had fought valiantly against the dark forces and lived through to the end and became their King, their Protector.
But, now it is time to pass on his legacy to the chosen ones, it is their turn to become the greats, to be the promise of peace and rein them with glory, justice, and harmony.
Despite, the twisting pain in his chest to bare them with melancholy news that would surely bring them depression and terror, but they must know of what is coming.
He looks upon them without daring to blink or avert their gaze as his jaw open to speak to his subjects.
"My dearest people, for many years now we've lived in prosperity and coherence, and to see you all here enjoying life is my greatest joy and pride…" then he grew silent as well his expression turn forlorn.
"But, I'm not here to accolade but I'm here to bare you all with grave news…I have foreseen a vision…the Nightmare King is awakening…"
Wind howled.
Birds scatter away.
Silent is heavy with cold despondency.
Fear is regaining and for the first time in longest time, they've renewed their fear.
I AM SO SO VERY SORRY FOR BIG LONG WAIT :,( but I did not give it up and I hope I did not disappoint you all and I hope this is worth the wait…So, farewell for now and until next time for HTCYD.
