Astrid growled in disgust as she saw a trapped terror hanging in a tree. She hated vikings! However, she does have to admit they are getting smarter nowadays.

This is the fifth trap she came across today. The now 15 year old signaled to Stormfly. The nadder sent a spike towards the net and freed the dragon. The terror growled at her in apprehension. "Don't worry I'm a friend" she chirped to it. The terror froze in shock. This girl knew dragon language. It tilted it's head at her before chirping happily and started to fly around her head.

"You're welcome little guy." she said before she got back on Stormfly. "Time to find Toothless." she said to Stormfly. Stormfly chirped happily in response before she took off to the area where Toothless was assigned. It wasn't too hard to find him. He was playing with some hatchlings in a field.

Astrid smirked at him as they landed next to him. "Slacking off again, Toothless?" she said sweetly. Toothless snorted at her before gently shaking the hatchlings off of him. The hatchlings turned to the new arrivals before they promptly jumped on top of them. Astrid laughed at their hatchlings.

"Okay guys, that's enough go find your parents." she said as she smiled at them.

The hatchlings chirped their goodbyes before flying off. Astrid walked over to Toothless and scratched his chin. "I hope you didn't spend all day messing around, Toothless." she said.

Toothless snorted before turning his head to the trap he freed the hatchlings from. Astrid growled in fury. Do vikings have morals?

Not even the most violent dragons try to take hatchlings from their parents. Astrid shook her head in frustration. "Time to go find Cloudjumper and Valka" she growled to Stormfly and Toothless. This time she got on top of Toothless instead of Stormfly.

They all flew back to the sanctuary where happy chirps greeting them. Astrid gave greetings to them in human and dragon language. They spotted the duo on the highest cliff overlooking the sanctuary.

They flew down to greet them. "How did it go?" Valka asked as Cloudjumper nuzzled Astrid. "It went pretty well but their traps are starting to get more complicated to disable" Astrid shuddered as she remembered one trap that almost took off her leg.

Cloudjumper chirped worriedly at the trio. They all quickly gave him reassurance. "Don't worry, Cloudjumper we'll be okay." she said as she patted him gently while the dragons nodded in agreement.

Cloudjumper sighed. "You guys grew up so fast" he said as he looked at them. Astrid smiled at them.

"Don't worry Cloudjumper, we'll always be your little hatchlings." Astrid replied. Valka smiled at the group she considered her family. They were interrupted from their moment by a black and green nadder.

He informed him that their was another dragon that was trapped in the northeast. Astrid nodded before turning to her siblings. "You guys ready to go?" Toothless roared and jumped in excitement. Stormfly chuckled at his antics before allowing Astrid to climb on her.

"Be safe you guys" she said as they were getting ready to take off. "We will!" the trio roared as they took off. A couple of minutes later they saw a purple and silver nightmare struggling with the net. Astrid could sense that something was wrong with the nightmare but approached it anyway.

She gasped as she saw multiple arrows sticking out and one of the wings was torn. She rushed to free it using the dagger she had to cut the net off the unconscious dragon. When the dragon didn't wake up they lowered their heads in sadness.

They walked away to prepare a funeral for the dragon when Astrid felt heat behind her.

"KILL! MUST FEED QUEEN!" the dragon roared as he stood back up and lit himself on fire . Toothless jumped in front of his sisters and bared his teeth at the dragon. "We're not going to hurt you!" Astrid yelled as she dodged the flaming tail that was headed their way.

The nightmare ignored her pleas as he charged at her. Toothless and Stormfly tackled the dragon before he could reach Astrid. He roared in pain already suffering from his previous injuries as they pinned him to the ground.

Astrid walked over to inspect the dragon and that's when she saw his eyes. They were empty. She didn't see the usual spark she saw in every dragon's eye.

They heard several dragons approaching behind them. She didn't need to look to know it was Cloudjumper and Valka.

"Are you guys,okay?" she heard Valka ask.

She didn't reply instead she pointed at the struggling nightmare who was still mumbling about some queen. Valka eye's widened as she took in the sight.

"Toothless! Knock him out" Valka shouted. Toothless grumbled in reply before he knocked the nightmare out with a hit on his head. "Hurry and take him to the King" she shouted at the dragons that accompanied her.

They quickly complied to her orders and were soon up in the air with the dragon flying with a purpose towards their home .

Valka growled. "The nerve she has to send one of her dragon's so close to our territory." she mumbled as she got back on Cloudjumper.

"Wait. What?" Astrid asked looking between Stormfly and Toothless. They were equally confused as they watched Cloudjumper fly away.

"That was weird" Astrid said as she got on top of Toothless. and flew towards the sanctuary hoping to get some answers.

"DRAGON ATTACK" "LOOK OUT"

Were the cries that Hiccup heard as he ran outside. He heard the cheers from the villagers as they saw him. He paid them no mind as he grabbed an arrow from his quiver and started to line up his shot.

He aimed at a Deadly nadder that was about to set fire to a house. The arrow hit the nadder's wing causing it to fall out of the sky and allowing his fellow vikings to tie it up. "Good job, Hiccup" he heard a viking say as he was rushing to put out a fire. He might be the runt of the village but him being trained so young he had plenty of time to work on his skills.

He also has a very brilliant mind which allows him to make new inventions to help trap dragons faster and easier.

Even though he had a very deep hatred for dragons after he heard that they took his future wife and his mom he just couldn't kill a dragon. Hiccup didn't know why but it was very frustrating.

After about an hour or so of fighting the dragons finally gave up and flew away from Berk. There were a couple of buildings burnt down but the battle was mostly successful. Hiccup saw his dad come toward him. He gave Hiccup a squeeze on the shoulder(which kinda hurt but he wasn't going to say it). "Good job son" he said congratulating him on a job well done. He saw the teens standing behind Stoick and rolled his eyes.

They saw him as the leader of their little group. "I could do better." Snotlout grumbled. "Sure, you can." Hiccup said as he headed towards the great hall to celebrate their victory. Their was one thing that was bothering him the entire time. It felt like something was missing from his life. Hiccup dissmissed those thought and focused on the celebration ahead.

Starstruckdreamer1: If your confused don't worry. I will explain what happened between their childhood and now through flashbacks. I promise it will explain everything that happened in this chapter. :)
