Chapter 25
Switching Sides

Her head banged onto the bars from one time to another. To her and the others, it was very painful. But to the twins, however, it was playful.

Of course, they were the twins; injury is 'fun-jury' for them.

"It looks like Berk was ready after all," Astrid commented with a painful smile on her face, due to her head banged to the metal bars.

"Come on, release us already. I want to fight those bastards," Snotlout said, impatient. Though, Fishlegs wasn't eager as the brunette.

The dragon trapper, however, looked shocked.

"How did Berk know that Drago's coming? Surely, they weren't expecting anything, did they?" Eret asked the blonde beside her, looking bewildered.

Astrid too was bewildered at how Berk was prepared for the upcoming war. No one in Berk knew about Drago invading Berk except for Astrid and the others, and also their dragons along with other wild dragons in the distance.

Wild dragons in the distance…

Astrid smirked in proud manner.

"Hiccup didn't get the title Dragon Prince for nothing," she answered, feeling pride of her boyfriend. Eret blinked at her and opened his mouth.

"What do you mean by that?"

It was hard to see who stood in front of the door, because the light disturbed their views. All they could see was the outlines of who the two persons were.

…And also two pairs of glowing green eyes.

Astrid doesn't need to see who they were; she knew those pairs of eyes very well. She looked back at the dragon trapper beside her. He looked shocked, with a bit of fear plastered onto his face. Her smirk widened further.

"Behold," she slowly stated to Eret, who eyes locked onto the two pairs of green eyes. The two persons entered the room, revealing a bit more of their appearance. "The greatest dragon master the world has ever seen," she continued, very aware that she was being dramatic as Eret kept staring fearfully. "The one and only," she slowly added, as the two persons stopped in front of Eret's cell.

Eret, who sat there on the hard floor, hands bounded, stared fearfully at the two pairs of glowing green slit eyes. One pair belong to a dragon, while the other belong to a man, making him looked inhumane.

"The Dragon Prince, and his companion, the Night Fury," Astrid introduced, with a smug smirk on her face, enjoying the fearful look on Eret's face.

Hiccup stared down at Eret as Toothless growled menacingly behind him. Both of their eyes locked onto the dragon trapper's. They kept their eyes slit, silently telling the dragon trapper who they were and what they were capable of.

Eret couldn't look away from the green slit eyes, especially from the one coming from the young man, who was the Dragon Prince. He looked inhumane with those slit dragon-like eyes, which increased the fear on Eret.

The young man was literally a prince. Eret could feel the royal aura the Dragon Prince emitted.

"Release them," Hiccup spoke out loud but no one made a move. They all stared at him, thinking that he was being ridiculous since their hands were bounded.

Suddenly, Terrible Terrors flew into view. With their high temperature fire breaths, they melted the locks of the cages, releasing the dragon riders. With soft blasts, they burned away the ropes that were bounding the dragon riders' hands.

The only person who was still in the cage was Eret.

Once she was released, Astrid approached her boyfriend and wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed his neck.

"Your Highness," she spoke in a tone of authority, with a hint of seductiveness. Hiccup's eyebrow twitched slightly, irritated a bit, but kept his composure. He knew that Astrid do this just for the show for Eret to show him who was the one controlling.

"Milady," Hiccup replied, nuzzling his head with hers, breaking the eye contact. Her smile widened, and took the opportunity to bit his earlobe.

All the while, the couple was giving Eret the full view while the others gagged at their affections.

Hiccup closed his eyes and sighed blissfully but reluctantly opened his mouth before this could get any further.

"Let's get out of here, shall we?" Hiccup suggest, earning a nod from Astrid. They turned around and walked toward the door. Toothless lingered a bit, growling deeply at the dragon trapper.

But before, anyone could pass through the door, Eret suddenly yelled to get their attention.

"Wait, Your Highness!" he yelled but suddenly flinched when the Dragon Prince turned around and glared at him while the Night Fury growled.

"You have no worthy to call me by my title, dragon trapper," Hiccup spat, making Eret shrunk in fear. "But since you have gain my attention, speak," he added with high authority, giving Eret a second chance to speak.

Eret was trembling, but managed to squeak in a tiny voice.

"I would-"

"Speak"

"I would like to make amend, Your Highness," Eret said, louder this time. He shifted so that he stood on his knees while facing the Dragon Prince with his head bowed. The situation was very similar like a criminal in front of a king.

"Elaborate," Hiccup commanded. Eret swallowed before he opened his mouth, very aware of the gaze he received from the Dragon Prince.

"I would like to switch sides, Your Highness," he stated. Hiccup didn't say anything, giving him the access to continue. "I have been betrayed by Drago, backstabbed by him. I am regret being under his command and regret of capturing your friends… and your mate"

If Eret looked up, he would've notice the blush appeared on the couple's faces while the others, along with Toothless and the Terrors, barely contained their mirth.

"So I am here to make amend of my actions by switching side to yours, Your Highness," Eret bowed even lower this time. "Please, I will do anything to earn your forgiveness and I will take any punishments you give after Drago Bludvist is taken care of, Your Highness"

Eret shut his eyes tight and held his breath, preparing for anything. When he received nothing, he slowed opened his eyes and looked up.

The Dragon Prince had his arms crossed and his eyes were dilated. The iron in his eyes was mostly disappeared. The Night Fury beside him had finally stopped growling but the iron in his eyes was still present.

Hiccup looked at Astrid, questions in his eyes. She slightly nodded, confirming the answers about the betrayal. Hiccup turned back toward the now ex-dragon trapper. He snapped his fingers twice, and Toothless charged his plasma blast.

Eret stared in horror as the Night Fury gathered his shot in his mouth. He closed his eyes and looked away, preparing for death to take him. He heard the shot fired and he could feel the heat hit him.

But he was still alive.

He opened his eyes and slowly looked up, only to get his eyes widened in shock.

Eret's cell was literally burst open. There were no metal bars before him. There was no barrier; only air. A Terrible Terror jumped in and burned down the rope, releasing his hands from the bound.

He stared at the Dragon Prince in awe. He commanded the dragons without words.

"I have welcomed you to my side, ex-dragon trapper," Hiccup spoke as Eret slowly stood up. "But there are certain rules you must follow," he warned, but Eret was determined to join his side.

"What are the rules?" Eret asked, now realized that the Dragon Prince was shorter than him. But his power and respect were a lot lower compared to the royal boy before him.

"You not harm dragons. If I ever hear a single cry coming from the dragons caused by you, then it's the end of the road for you," Hiccup spoke in a commanding tone, making Eret stiffened a bit.

The first rule was a bit hard for him since he had been trapping dragons before and whenever he see a dragon, his instinct told him to trap it.

"Whenever you see any trapped dragons, immediately release them as fast as you can," Hiccup continued, still with the high authority tone. "Now, instead of taking down dragons, you release them. Understand?" he questioned the man before him.

"Yes, Your Highness," to show respect, Eret bowed low.

"Good," Hiccup said. Suddenly, a large explosion occurred near them, making them stumbled. "And that's our queue. Dragon Riders, onto your dragons!" Hiccup commanded, earning him a chorus of cheers as the teens rushed out their dragons.

"And you," Hiccup spoke toward Eret, who was waiting for a command to go. "Stay on the ground. You know your job?"

"Yes, protect and release any dragons I see other than the armored dragons," Eret reminded, making the Dragon Prince grinned. Hiccup turned around and headed toward the door, with Astrid and Toothless closed to his heel, and a half.

"Good," he commented but suddenly stopped before he exited. "But remember this," he looked over his shoulder and gazed at Eret straight to the eyes. "I still won't forgive you for your actions," he stated a bit darkly. Eret swallowed at the tone and the gaze.

"I understand," Eret replied, bowed his head in understanding. Then he heard some ruffling coming from the Dragon Prince, making him looked up. On instinct, he caught the sword that was thrown to his face. He looked down at the sword in his hand and then back up to the Dragon Prince's slit green eyes.

Eret blinked.

The river beside him silently flowed down and crashed down into a waterfall a long distant away. Dark green was the color that greeted him, because it was at night. It was dark and Eret had a bit difficulty to see through the darkness.

The only source of light was the one person standing before him. This time however, it wasn't his eyes that gave out the light. But instead, the light was coming from what surrounded him.

Fireworm dragons flew all around him, leaving a trail of lights behind them, illuminating the Dragon Prince.

Eret blinked.

He was back at the cellar. He looked at his surroundings, completely confused at what just happened. He looked at the exit door, only to find that the Dragon Prince stood there, gazing at him.

Hiccup then turned away and climbed onto Toothless, placing himself behind Astrid. They took off, doing their part of the work.

Eret was still at the room, a sword in his hand, confused at the sudden change of scenery. He shook his head, clearing away the confusion and rushed outside, doing his part of the work.

Someone's a little bit 'high on authority'

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Get it!?

N..No... No?

Okay...
