Guest: Here you go! :)


The ship's blade dug in the sand of the beach of the Dragon Hunters' island as it hit shores. Hiccup landed Toothless beside Dagur who managed to jump off the vessel. The man breathed in deeply just as if he would have done if he had made it to shores on Berk three years ago. His men were about to follow him but Dagur ordered them to stay there until they came back. None argued and did as told.

''So... Got any plans for later?'' Hiccup asked, walking beside him, Toothless following him closely, watching out for danger.

''Ah, first things first, brother!'' Dagur said, ''Let's start by seizing the Dragon Eye, then ask me that question again.''

Hiccup rolled his eyes, now wondering why he's working with him. But he remembered pretty quickly. The promise he did to him, about him helping get the Dragon Eye and he returning his freedom, his right freedom, he meant it. For some reason, even though Dagur had been trying to kill him repeatedly, he trusted him. He wasn't able to explain why but he did. He had seen Dagur this way before, three years ago when they worked together to track down Toothless... not that he enjoyed it. It was kind of true when Dagur said they formed a great team. They did. And today, everything was about teamwork.

They finally made it to the center of the island, and Hiccup could see the tunnels leading underground, where he had last seen the Dragon Eye. He just hoped Viggo wasn't in there, or things would get a lot trickier. Many guards guarded the entrance, but that wouldn't a problem.

Both boys hid behind catapult boulders that lay on the ground near the forest and used them as cover for the moment.

''What's the plan?'' Dagur asked, taking out his double-headed battle axe.

Hiccup grabbed his shiny Gronckle Iron shield from under Toothless' wing and made sure his sword was there at his back.

''I'll go down there and search for the Dragon Eye.'' he explained, ''You have fun knocking out any Dragon Hunters.''

''Got it.''

So the first one to go was obviously Dagur. He shot out from their hiding spot and immediately attacked the guards to give Hiccup a way in.

As soon as the path was cleared, Hiccup rushed inside the underground tunnels; back to the place he had seen it. For Hiccup had excellent memory, finding his way was a piece of cake. The hard part would be escaping.

As he ran through the labyrinth, Hiccup caught sight of the dragon skin curtains and could only hope the Dragon Eye was still in that super secret room. Carefully he approached it and walked in, and there it was. On the exact same table, exact same place with the exact same little Terrible Terror... Poor little guy, he must be really unhappy in that cage. Then again, who would be?

Before grabbing the Dragon Eye that lay so still on the table in front of the cage, Hiccup unlocked the small door from the green cage, freeing the little dragon. The Terror let out sharp squawks of happiness and flew away the instant it was released. He watched it go, a weak smile growling on his lips.

''You might wanna focus on the task in hand, dear.'' a voice purred from behind him, sending shivers down his spine. Hiccup's eyes widened with fear.

Slowly, he turned around to face Viggo who stood close to the table, hands at his back, looking so calm and unalarmed.

''You thought it would've been that easy?'' Viggo asked, laughing at Hiccup's efforts. ''I know how you work and how you think, Hiccup. I know you now. But even after all we've been through, you still don't know me enough...''

''I'm not here for you...'' Hiccup spoke, as dangerously as he could.

''Oh, don't worry, I know exactly why you're here.'' Viggo purred, ''You even wrote it on the letter. And even if you wouldn't have. I would still know why you would be here...''

''Tell me, why is Dragon Eye so important to you? Why do you need it?'' Hiccup asked, speaking his mind.

''For the exact same reason you do.'' Viggo said, ''Dragons. That and because it belongs to me. So you can try to take it, but I wouldn't if I were you.''

''Why not?''

Viggo pulled out his sword, and on the blade was a purple substance, and Hiccup could guess it wasn't to simply put you asleep.

''You know what this is?'' Viggo asked, pointing his weapon at Hiccup. ''It's the deadliest and most painful of all poisons known to the world. The process is slow but causes so much pain. Not only to you, but to all your close ones. And when it enters your blood, the only thing you could wish for is to never have been born...''

''Then I'll take my chances...'' Hiccup simply replied as he grabbed the Dragon Eye on the table and ran like he had never before.

''What the...'' Viggo muttered, registering what just happened. It didn't take long for the man to follow the boy. Instead of taking the same corridor as Hiccup, Viggo took a shorter one and ended up standing right in front of the youth, blocking his way out.

''Hand over the Dragon Eye, Hiccup...'' Viggo ordered warningly, putting a hand forward for Hiccup to give it. But instead, Hiccup took out his sword, now armed with both Gronckle Iron shield and sword.

''Who's the one with the shield and sword now, Viggo?'' Hiccup said before striking at the man, their swords meeting again. Hiccup held the Dragon Eye with in the right hand, the one that hid behind the shield so Viggo couldn't grab it that easily. Another advantage he had was being left handed.

Frustrated by his words, Viggo swung his sword, knocking Hiccup's out of his hands, leaving him with his shield only. Hiccup watched his sword fly out of his hands, and focused back on his enemy.

''Good form.'' Viggo purred, before kicking his prosthetic, causing him to crash down on the ground. ''But not good enough.''

Viggo raised his sword and brought it down, only for his blow to be blocked by the shield and be backed away. Taking the chance, Hiccup got to his feet and grabbed his sword that lay not far from him. Back on his feet, Hiccup ran for the exit when he saw Viggo pulling himself back up and gone after him.

As soon as Hiccup saw Dagur, he took the Dragon Eye in his left hand and without thinking about the risks, threw it in the air for Dagur to catch it.

''Dagur!'' Hiccup yelled as it flew up and back down. Thankfully, Dagur let drop his axe and caught it with both hands.

Hiccup let out a sigh of relief and was about to join him but the fact that Viggo jumped above him made it impossible. The man had him totally pinned down to the ground, his sword once again out of reach, only his shield between both of them. Viggo pressed his poison sword under his chin.

Dagur looked down at his brother and then at the Dragon Eye.

''Dagur...'' Hiccup breathed from under Viggo's hold, the purple blade pressed on his throat.

Dagur took his time to choose wisely, between helping his brother, and running now that he had the Dragon Eye. His heart told him to do both, but Dagur preferred listening to himself, and his decision was clear.

''Sorry Hiccup... But I have plans. I'm sure you understand.'' Dagur apologized, holding the object in a hand. He grabbed back his weapon, and ran off, leaving Hiccup behind, under Viggo's grip.
