Hello again! I am so happy I was able to get this chapter up before the end of today. I hope everyone is enjoying it so far. I'll do shout out in the next chapter! Enjoy Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2:

Valkyrie strained her ears, trying to pick up on the conversation.

"What is he doing here?!" Astrid questioned worriedly.

"I don't know but this is our best chance to get the dragon eye back and out of the hunters' hands." Hiccup-as Valkyrie know knew- said.

"But that means bringing back to the base. Can we risk that?" Valkyrie sensed Hiccup shift. "I guess…Fine. We'll bring him back to the Edge. Stormfly, Fetch!"

"No!" Hiccup stopped her. "I'll get him." Hiccup told her. Valkyrie heard Hiccup's dragon dive and scoop Viggo off the plank and out of the water. She inhaled sharply. Of course she knew Viggo was just faking in order for the plan to work but still, she was a little frightened that something would go wrong.

As usual though, everything was going as planned. Valkyrie relaxed and smiled slightly. After a few minutes, her dragon flew into the clouds and gently glided to catch up with the two dragon riders. Every time there was a break in the cloud cover, she was sure the two would see them. But, they never turned back. Soon, Hiccup and Astrid joined the other riders, those of whom started asking questions.

Then, Viggo spoke up, "I really must thank you Hiccup for saving me." They bound Viggo once they landed. By now, it was dusk and getting darker by the minute. Perfect cover for her.

"What's our plan? We can't just keep him this close to base! Ryker will be after his brother for sure." Fishlegs piped. Valkyrie was not I the mood for this even though it would help the mission run smoother.

"We'll keep him in the stables. The dragons will alert us if anything is off or wrong." Hiccup said. Still in the shadows, Valkyrie lay there listening as they argued back and forth before locking Viggo in the stables along with the dragons.

"Stay." She commanded her dragon with her hand out. She pulled up the hood on her cloak and placed on her Night Fury shaped mask. Now, she was moving like a shadow on the roofs of the buildings until she dropped down in front of the stables. As she opened the door, it creaked slightly and she cringed once the dragons picked their heads up. Quickly, she squeezed inside and was met with growling dragons. She unhooked a pouch from her waist and opened that cap. It released a delightful smelling mist that subdued the dragons into a happy stupor. She corked it again to preserve the precious mystified dragon nip. It took time to make but was useful for calming dragons.

She approached the cage in the back and drawing out her sword, sliced the chain in half. It slumped to the floor and she entered.

"Good to see the plan went as you said…so far." Valkyrie said in a slightly demonic voice. That was how she always talked. Or at least the way she sounded when she opened her mouth to speak every once in a while. She preferred to keep her mouth shut. Valkyrie untied the ropes around Viggo's wrists. "I'll wait for your signal."

She finally sensed another presence in the cage as a Nadder squawked. She turned and patted it. The Nadder purred at her touch. She had always had a way with dragons and they always seemed to like her. This must be Astrid's.

"Just to let you know…the boy sleeps with his dragon. And the traitor Heather is here at the Edge." Viggo stated.

"Makes the mission all the fun." Valkyrie smiled as she walked out. By now, her eyes were extremely dark, almost black. Hopefully no one would die this time.

She whistled for fir dragon and he came bounding over. As soon as he saw her and her eyes, he shrank back a little. She jumped on him and together they flew into the clouds.

Hiccup sat up straight up in bed. He could hear the whining of dragons down at the stables. Toothless was already up and pacing, ready to take off at a moment's notice. Hiccup hopped on and the two burst out of the house. He glanced down to see the others rushing toward the stable. The duo beat the others there and Hiccup immediately rushed into the stables against all his instincts. He found Viggo there, looking in a much better condition than before.

"How in Thor name did you_," Hiccup started.\"Get out? Hiccup, do you really think this is the first time I've been captured? It's not hard really." Viggo looked as smug as ever.

"But how?!"

"My own ways. I think you'll meet her soon enough. In fact, I think my incredibly helpful friend is here now."

Toothless growled and looked up at the roof. Hiccup confused, followed his dragon's gaze. "What are you u planning? What more could you possibly have up your sleeve?"

"A lot more Hiccup, than you will ever know." Viggo paused, listening for something. Hiccup heard the other riders heading down the zip lines toward him and Viggo. Suddenly, Viggo's voice rang through the air, "NOW!"

Hiccup spun around as the torches out and inside blew out. The door slammed shut and he heard the click of a chain. They were plunged into darkness and Hiccup lost sight of Viggo. There was banging on the door and the shouts in his name but Hiccup ignored them. All he had to do was find Viggo. Toothless sparked a flame and the other dragons followed.

Viggo was still in the same there but now, a new person was next to him. The person was clad in an all-black cloak and hood. It covered their hair and hooded their eyes, but it was open at the bottom and displayed the hilt of a sword. A very well crafted sword. A hand was resting on the top of the sword ready to draw it. The way this person held themselves suggested a girl but he could tell. What shocked him most was when they picked up their head. He could see what used to be laughing eyes. But wha shocked him most was the intricately crafted mask covering her face that oddly resembled a Night Fury.

"This my dear boy, is my friend. She is quite unique and now, you can see the destruction that follows in her wake." Viggo introduced. "Go."

In the blink of an eye, she had whistled a command and pulled Viggo far back from where they were standing. The dragons coward as far back in their cells as possible and Toothless roared extremely loudly. A whistling sound broke through the air and Toothless leaped on top of Hiccup as the roof exploded. He could feel the debris on top of Toothless. The dragons' fire ceased and the world was plunged into darkness. His dragon lifted his wing and Hiccup stood up, dodging a few pieces of flaming, falling debris.

It was impossible to see anything but he could faintly hear the steps of someone. Hiccup patted Toothless's head and then charged toward this person. He landed dead on top of the girl and they began to roll around on the floor. He could tell that she as holding back and that made him fight harder. They were struggling to get on top of each other and a few times the girl tried to draw her sword but Hiccup stopped her. He, for some strange reason-felt the girl's hands burning on his exposed skin. He bit back cries of pain and finally got a hold of her wrists, pressing them to the floor.

A growl escaped a dragon's mouth, most likely hers, but she shouted, "No! I've got this one. It's O.K, I've faced worse." Her voice was extremely demonic, dripping with darkness and instilled fear in all who listened. Her head jerked back toward and through the mask, he could see the color of her eyes clearly. They were an incredibly dark green, almost black and it took up most of the whites of her eyes. He shuddered and looked away from them.

Suddenly, she jerked up her right arm and loosened Hiccup's hold. She grabbed his forearm, just below the elbow, and quickly twisted it upward making him rise. He made the mistake of releasing the other arm to remove her grip on his arm. She spun his left arm down, bringing him to the floor, while she gripped his other arm and twisted it behind his back. This warrior girl placed a knee in the middle of his back and pressed down. This was incredibly painful. Where is Toothless?

His question was answered when Toothless growled only to be met with a more ferocious roar, which silenced his dragon.

"Don't mess with her. Now you truly know the damage she can do. Hmmm…I'm very proud. Her name is Valkyrie." Viggo taunted.

Hiccup shuddered as Valkyrie hissed darkly and she tightened her hold.

"Release him." Viggo said-more like ordered.

Valkyrie leaped off him and swung onto her dragon. The last thing he saw were the dark electric blue eyes of the dragon.

Help, they said, Help.

As you have now noticed, Valkyrie doesn't talk much. I only chose that name because they are fierce warriors in Norse Mythology. I hope you liked chapter 2 and look for ch3 next Sunday! And maybe I'll update A Great Sacrifice. Remember to Review, Follow, and Fav!
