3 months later...

Hiccup woke up that morning and found his 6-month-pregnant wife lying next to him. He didn't know why but that day felt different, something was going to happen today. Suddenly, five year old Aura opened the door, holding in her little arms a stuffed dragon that her mother had made for her on her fifth birthday.

"Daddy?"

"Hey kiddo. What are you doing up so early?"

"I-I had a nightmare" this got Hiccup up in less than a second. Haddocks barely got nightmares but when they did, they were bad. He knew that from experience. He walked over to his daughter and picked her up. She immediately wrapped her arms around her father's neck and buried her face in her fathers chest. She was shaking like a frightened kitten and he kept whispering in her ear words of confort.

He stood there for a few moments, unsure of what to do. He decided to leave the girl in his bed and prepare to go to work. He left Aura on the bed and as he began to walk away when she jumped out of bed and hugged his good leg.

"Daddy don't leave me!" Hiccup's heart broke. He picked her up again and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I'll never leave you. I will always protect you"

"Promise?"

"Promise"

She hugged him again and Hiccup didn't dare to move. After a few minutes, he realised Aura was sleeping, he left her close to her mother, who hadn't woken up yet and left to go to work.

It was starting to get dark when the alarm sounded. Hiccup thought hard for a second and realised that this wasn't a drill. People started to step out of their houses. He could see in the faces of the villagers that everyone was scared, and he was no exception either. He started yelling orders.

"You all know what to do! The women and the kids, go to the tunnels, the healers to the great hall, riders, get your dragons ready, get your weapons from the forge. Go!" Everyone was running to different directions and when he turned around, he saw Astrid running towards him

"I suppose you're not going to let me fight?"

"Of course not" she sighed

"Wait a second, where's Aura?"

The two of them paled. Suddenly, someone yelled "IN COMING" and a ball of fire came. It flew above their heads and it landed on a house. Hiccup's house. A little girl's scream was heard. His little girl. Aura.

Hiccup started running towards the house on fire and before he could entered, someone grabbed him, preventing him from going any further. He struggled and more villagers came to make him stop.

"No" he whispered, just this morning, he had promised Aura he wouldn't let anything happen to her. Suddenly, he heard a roar. A night fury roar. Nightshade flew towards the house and entered through one of the windows

INSIDE THE HOUSE

Aura was in her bedroom when the boulder crashed in the living room. When she opened her eyes she was surrounded by flames. It was getting hard to see and even harder to breather, her vision started to go blurry when she saw a black figure. Nightshade. The dragon touched her shoulder with her snout and picked her by the collar

"Nightshade" she managed to say before everything went black.

NIGHTSHADE POV

I was not going to let my hatchling die. The moment I heard her scream I rushed to protect her. I found her and picked her up. I ran to the window and jumped, in mid air, I wrapped her up in my wings. We fell to the ground and a lot of humans came towards me. I never liked humans, I've been captive by them since I was a hatchling and when these humans rescued me, I couldn't help but be agressive. Anyways, I saw the girl's father running towards me and I opened my wings.

NORMAL POV

Hiccup ran towards Nightshade and came to a stop when he saw her open her wings. Aura was lying bettwen the dragons paws and she wasn't moving. Hiccup finally realised what Stoick felt after the Red Death died. He picked up his daughter and looked at her. She was breathing, which was a big relief, and she was covered in ash but other than that, she seemed to be fine. Her eyes started to open and Hiccup felt like crying

"D-Daddy?"

"I'm here princess, don't worry, you're safe" Aura threw her arms around his father's neck and hugged him tightly. Hiccup kissed the top of her head several times and laughed in relief. Astrid soon, joined the picture and she started crying. Their happiness was cut short when someone yelled

"HICCUP HADDOCK!" He knew that voice, he hadn't heard that voice in 4 years.

"COME FOWARD, OR ARE YOU A COWARD?!" Hiccup handed his daughter to Astrid who didn't want to leave his side

"I'll be back" he kissed her lips softly and kissed Aura's forehead. Toothless appeared and started walking next to Hiccup, growling to anyone who dared to walk close to Hiccup. Hiccup watched at the battle that surrounded him. In the beach, warriors were fighting. Viking versus Hunter. Good versus bad. The dragon riders were attacking the ships but he could sense something was wrong. Then Snoutlout came and told him the news: the catapults weren't working, they managed to stop the dragon hunters from entering the forest (thanks to the twins that had set traps inside it) but the hunters were entering the island through their weakest spots. Hiccup frowned at the news. How could the hunters know their weak spots? Then he remebered what Astrid had told him. When she was captive of the Dragon Hunters, Drago told her that some people would do anything for money.

A spy. They were loosing the battle because of a spy. Then he heard it again

"HICCUP HADDOCK, COME AND FACE! I HAVE A PREPOSITION FOR YOU"

Everyone told him not to but he went anyway

"A chief protects it's own" he simply said and then, he mounted on Toothless and flew towards the voice. Drago was standing in the cliff, the one that was nearest to the village.

"What do you want Drago?" He asked when he landed, his voice full of hatred and his hand gripping Inferno so hard his nuckels turned white.

"For you to surrender of course"

"Not gonna happen" Dragon looked around

"Really? Hiccup, look around, when my father died, he left me an entire army and when yours died, he left you this little wet pile of rocks"

"And then why do you want it so badly if it doesn't have any value?"

"Revenge. When you die, I'll burn this island to the ground, and all the people you love with it. The rest of the village will become slaves" he signalled to a guard and Hiccup looked behind him. The guard was holding Astrid, Aura and other one was holding Valka.

Hiccup found it very hard to stay put but he managed

"element of surprise"

"Key to any battle" Drago finished with an evil smile

"The boulder was a distraction"

"Why of course"

"But how did you know what house was mine?"

Drago laughed and shouted something to his men. The soldiers took a step back, except for one, only, he wasn't a soldier.

"Trader Johan?" Hiccup asked, not wanting to belive what his eyes saw.

"Hello master 'iccup" he said mockingly

"You.."

"That's right, you see 'iccup, I'm a trader and traders, trade things. If you need exotic foods or valuable information about your enemy, I'm your man"

"Traitor" it took all his power not to kill Johan right there.

"You had a preposition for me?" He asked

"Yes, here's the deal, we fight to the death, sword to sword, if you win, my soldiers will leave immediately, if you loose... Well, I think you are smart enough to figure that out"

Toothless, who was still next to him, growled.

"Deal"

"HICCUP DON'T DO IT" Astrid screamed

Drago smiled and a soldier gave him a sword. Hiccup grabbed Inferno and looked at Toothless. He placed his hand on his snout and Toothless cooed softly.

"If anything happens, take care of them for me" he whispered and then he stood up.

He turned around and he looked at his family. The he turned around and got ready.

"Whenever you want Drago"

With a mighty cry, Drago attacked. Hiccup blocked the blow with his own sword and ducked. He attacked his oponent but Drago was fast. But Hiccup was smart.

He ducked and stopped the blows, trying to formulate a plan while he fought. Behind Drago, there was a cliff and a light bulb light up inside Hiccup's mind. He didn't like the idea, he had come up with many ideas that nearly killed him in the past, but this one was the worst. The odds of surviving this idea where slim. What else was new. But that was the only way to kill Drago. So he went for it.

He ducked one more time and then rolled to the right, he ran towards the cliff and stopped at the edge. But he wasn't ready for what came next. Drago attacked, and this time, he didn't fail. Inferno flew out of Hiccup's hand and he looked at Drago, shocked. Drago smirked and pushed him to the ground, his next touching the edge of the cliff.

"Any last words Hiccup Haddock?" He said as he got ready to stab Hiccup.

There was dead silence, and then

"To die, would be an awfully big adventure" the words surprised Drago and before he knew what was happening, Hiccup kicked him in the gut with his prosthetic, sending him into the air and into the sea, in the last moment, he grabbed Hiccup by the collar of his tunic and both of them dissapeared out site, into the ocean bellow. Hunters and Vikings together, watched shoked as they both fell.

Astrid went pale, as if she was going to faint any second

"HICCUP!"

"DAD!"
