Alright, now I know the latest chapter got a bit messy but believe me Lacie isn't the innocent kind of person. Remember she was a bodyguard which I will enclose about her past life in this chapter.
The kingdom was on fire which Lacie was very worried about Cygnus. In the whole mess, Lacie looked around at what had happened while she was away. She noticed that there were many people fleeing the kingdom but the castle wasn't burning at all.
"Mir, to the castle right away." Mir started going to the castle when he landed Lacie took a looked around and realized that it was almost time for the fire to hit the castle. Lacie started running inside the castle. Hiccup and the others were right behind her but they lost her in the castle.
"Just great how do you think we are going to find someone in a burning castle and also a place as big this one?" Snotlout shouted out at Hiccup. Fishlegs was too scared to go into the place and offered to watch the dragons in case they fly away or something. They split up to search the castle faster and hopefully find her before the fire hits the castle.
Lacie's POV
Cygnus! Where are you? CYGNUS! Come one where can you possibly go?" I scanned each the hallways to see if there was Cygnus roaming the halls for something. Until I heard a crash in one of the rooms, I touched the doorknob and burnt myself. Since I couldn't open it the normal way I had to get in no matter what the cost. I kicked down the door and went to the side waiting to see if the fire would get out of the doorway. Nothing happened and I looked into the room. I noticed that the doorknobs had a burning torch over it which showed how the doorknob was burning the time I touched it. I looked around the room and it had nothing or anyone in there until I went over to the closet of the room. Something was coming from the wall and I started knocking on the wall. Each time I hit something it was just solid until I thought about lowering my knocking. That's when I heard a hollow space and I started finding a switch or whatever to open it up. I found it hidden inside one of the lights in the room and pushed it. I say the wall open revealing Cygnus, her mother, and her personal maid.
"Thank God, you guys are safe." I let out a breath feeling so relieved that they were alright. "Come on, we have to get going or else we'll be stuck here engulfed in flames." I motioned them to come with me and they followed. Everything was all going smoothly until I heard my name through the halls. I looked over my shoulders and I could already see the fire spreading within the castle quickly. I punched the wall which broke underneath all that for thinking they wouldn't follow me.
"All of you guys, go towards the backyard once you get there you'll see Mir and Angel. You get on them and get as far away as you can from here. No matter what under no circumstances come back in here. Go! All of you go now!" They started running but only Cygnus didn't run with them. "What are you doing, Cygnus you have to run."
"What about you, Lacie?"
"I'll be fine I just need to do something here."
"You know the enemy's still here."
"I have done something stupid once more so I'm going to clean it up. So please, Cygnus listen to me this one time and just go. I'll be back in no time I promise you."
"You always seem to be making promises with me."
"Look, Cygnus, I made an oath to protect you even if I get myself killed for it."
"Yeah, but that is broken when you were fired from your job."
"No matter what, I'm not going to stop doing what I was supposed to do. Okay, Cygnus, not once have I broken my promise with you."
"You have broken a promise to me once. That one time made me sick and worried for you every single day that you left this castle. So, I can't trust you when you say that everything is going to be fine when you are going to run into a place that has death all over it."
"Cygnus, we will talk about this later because I have some people in your burning death castle at the moment. They don't know where they are going in this castle so I think I would want to get them out of here. So you go on out of here and I'll find you once again." I started running back calling their names until I met with a short man who I somehow wanted to punch him no matter what. "How many of you guys wandered into this place? TELL ME NOW!" The dude started looking around and finally answered.
"There was only 5 of us. Fishlegs is outside watching the dragons." My eyes widened when he said that.
"Son of a gun. I just sent some people over there. You are going back there to deal with wait you don't know your way around this place. Just follow me and don't you dare touch anything in this place unless you want me to cut your hands off." I growled at him who backed away from the vase that was near the room entrance. I started listening to the voices and determined which one was the closest and started running towards it. I found twins who seemed to be playing around with the fire. I looked all over the place for the others after I let the others at the backyard. The smoke was thickening and I was losing more and more oxygen the more I stayed in the castle. I found Hiccup and Astrid who were held by the people. I knew who they were and I had to stop it. I started hiding from them and steadied my breathing.
"Hey, get a move on the fire is burning this place fast." Before they could get Hiccup and Astrid I jumped in and body slammed myself into two of the men. They all held out their hands at me and I stood there amazed at what a deja vu this was.
"Awe, did you guys miss me already? Come one, start summoning your beasts or partners I don't give two cr*ps about it. I'm going to have to deal with you guys sooner or later."
Hiccup's POV
Me and Astrid were caught for thinking that they were the good guys I guess not. But what I saw right now was Lacie smiling away as so many people were surrounding her. They started blasting away so many elements at her that I didn't think it was possible but maybe because they had different animals or whatever was on their shoulders. Lacie, however, took their hits as if they were nothing. She spat out some blood and wiped her mouth with the outside of her wrist.
"That all you got. I was hoping for more I don't know spears entering my body over and over again. You know like that magic sword trick except it's actually hitting me."
"Shut up, Murderer. No one wants to hear from the likes of you."
"Oh, I'm a murderer tell that to the thousands of people who were living here. The people that were on your guys' list of who knows what. They are suffering from all of this which means you guys are the murderers. All of you sacrificed innocent lives for what. I don't even know what the h*ll you are doing this for so give me a good reason before I'll become the murderer you wish for me to become."
"You don't understand the pain of those who are being stepped on. You don't understand the pain of losing your loved one for false accusation."
"I don't understand the pain. Oh, so I don't understand the pain well that's a bummer you know. It's you people all of you students at the academy that this world is as rotten as it is now. You guys are high-class or even scholarship students but once you find out what the real reason the academy was built for then you start a coup. I am sick and tired of you guys picking on the weak over and over again. This isn't what the headmaster would want he would have wanted all of you to graduate from the academy and protect people not follow the chairman into killing people who are against the school's beliefs. That's it I'm done. I'm done being your punching bag I am done with all of you. You guys were never my friends that's what I'm going to point out. No mercy for those who shot at me." Lacie grabbed out some gloves and tightened them around her hands. Everyone else was getting ready for their next attack against her but when the shots were fired she wasn't there anymore. They started looking around and even I couldn't see her. One moment she was in the middle and the next moment she cracked a student's neck. She grabbed the students body and used it as a shield from the other's hits. She dropped the body and started running to the person who was most confident. She already had his throat in her hand and started lifting him up off the ground. Everyone was getting worried about him as he was wheezing for air. She ran towards the wall with him still in her hand and rammed him into the wall. She put her free hand on his stomach and shoved it into his body. He started screaming. Lacie let him go and looked at the others who were more cautious than ever. Lacie smiled at them which made them frozen on the spot.
"Lacie, untie us there is no need for you to kill them." Lacie looked at me uninterested and pulled out a dagger. She threw it at me with a face that told me to do it myself. She then proceeded to hurt the others by either breaking their arms or legs. When I finished cutting the ropes I looked around to find Lacie and she came crashing in with another student from the ceiling. They fell onto the ground and Lacie was already on top of the student. She lifted the person's head and slammed it into the ground over and over again. I rushed over to her side trying to get her to stop until I tried to hit her. Note that I said tried but she caught my punch and looked at me with blood spatters all over her face. "There is no need for you to go this far. So we have to go because the fire is already here." Lacie relaxed her grip and let go eventually let go of it. She led us out of the house and there were only mine and Astrid's dragons waiting for us. Lacie took a huge breath in and shouted.
"Return!" Mir came back instantly to the garden and she just got on him as if nothing ever happened. Lacie fly off ahead of us wiping away the blood from her clothes. I caught up with her and tried to talk some sense into her hopefully.
"Lacie, what is the matter with you?"
"I'm just doing my job that's all."
"Your job is to kill kids?"
"No, my job is to eliminate all enemies that are a threat to the kingdom."
"I don't think there is a kingdom to protect anymore."
"And I think there are enemies still on that ground so I'm going to kill them all before they torch another kingdom down."
"I'm not going to let you, Lacie, you can't just swoop in and be the hero."
"I'm not trying to be a hero. I'm going to fix a mistake that I have made." Lacie turned around and she was in full view of the kingdom. I didn't know what she was doing since she was just looking at the place. "Mir, use dragon master and incinerate this place to the ground. Dust to dust leaves nothing behind." Mir started holding his breath until his eyes lit red and there was a circle around his mouth. It grew bigger and bigger until he let it out. There were flames that went into the distance and he moved leaving the spot he had previously shot at nothing but ash. When he was finished, Lacie started going back. I was right beside her and I had to wonder why she would do such a thing.
"Lacie, you killed, even more, people than what those people did."
"I told you, we are at war you don't even know how many people died and besides I put those people out of their misery."
"Lacie, you don't have to do this alone you know."
"You sound like my guardian. Yesh I'm not alone I have Hime with me well not right now but yeah."
"Well, maybe I have to be your guardian because clearly, you are out of control."
"I told you I do not need your help."
"It's too late you have already involved us."
"Yeah, and you are telling me you guys are too deep into the water to back out now."
"What?"
"Nothing." Lacie started leaving us behind but I knew she couldn't outrun a night fury. No one can I think unless Lacie had something up her sleeve. She seemed out of place when me and Astrid were captured like she went through something no on can imagine. She was different in there like she wasn't herself somehow. We landed in a place that wasn't far from the kingdom and Lacie got off Mir then started looking around the place. I got off Toothless and walked up to Lacie to see what she was doing. By the time I went up to her she placed a finger on her mouth showing that I had to be quiet. Lacie pulled out an even more detailed dagger than the one she chucked at me and started approaching some bushes. When she got close, some people came out of the bushes and Lacie let out a breath and put the dagger back into the back pocket or something like that.
Normal POV
Hiccup looked at the girls who came out of the forest. Two of them were in frilly dresses while the other one had some kind of weird clothing. The girls looked similar to each other and one of them ran up to give a hug to Lacie.
"I told you I'll be fine, Cygnus."
"You reek of blood and you got it all over my clothing."
"Says the one who just hugged me."
"Oh, shut up, is this what you say to a friend you haven't seen in a while?"
"Define friend, Cygnus."
"Hmm, people who talk for a long time and known each other for a long time."
"Yeah, sure that'll work." Lacie went to the other girl and kneeled down before her.
"Apologies, your Highness, for my rudeness into not addressing myself towards you," Lacie said and she didn't look up at the older girl. The girl touched Lacie's shoulder and she looked up at her immediately with worry written across her face.
"It's alright, Lacie, you've done your job well." She gave Lacie a reassuring smile which made Lacie felt more relaxed than before. "It's been a long time since I last saw you."
"Yes, it's been over 5 years since we last saw each other. Your Highness."
"It's odd how you say my daughter's name without formalities and yet you don't say mine."
"I am sorry, your Highness, but Cygnus told me to call her that."
"Then I'll do the same. I want you to call me by my name not my title."
"You are a very strange mother you know that."
"I'm still waiting for you to say my name, Lacie."
"I give up. You got me alright?" Lacie putting up her hands in a surrendering position. "Lana. You happy, yesh, what's up with your family no title just first names."
"I don't think you should be talking like that in front of your queen."
"So, you want me to call you the queen like all the other subjects because I'm all good on that unless...yes... I said unless because I know you are going to interrupt me unless you want me to address you as a friend it's up to you."
"Lacie, you know how much I appreciate your concern about appearances but no one here knows who we are and I don't think you should be spreading around of how we are royalty since we have a target on our backs."
"But, Lana, I'll do anything to make sure you guys are safe and sound no matter what the cost is."
"Please, don't say that Lacie. You know how much I hate your seriousness on this."
"I swore an oath and I intend to take that oath to the grave."
"Lacie, you were relieved of your duty years ago."
"No matter what you are going to say about me just know that I'll do anything for your family."
"Enough with all this seriousness why don't you tell me about your...friends?... You brought along with you."
"They are not my friends." Lacie pointed it out to every one of Hiccup's gang. "My only friends are Mir, Angel, Demi, You, Cygnus, and Kaname."
"Hold on a moment, we aren't your friends, Lacie?" Lacie glared at Hiccup who just blurted it out.
"I can't not right now. We need- we need to get somewhere safe. They are going to find us here." Lacie helped Lana onto Angel with the maid and Lacie tried to get Cygnus onto Angel as well until she started protesting. Lacie didn't have time for anything at the moment so she got Cygnus to ride with her. They flew off but Lacie didn't know where to until Hiccup suggested they go to the dragon's edge. Lacie didn't have any options in where she could bring them so she agreed with them. After a few hours of flight and resting on a couple of islands, they were finally at the dragon's edge. The first thing Lacie did was get out of her clothes with only Mir tagging along with her. When Lacie was out of sight from the rest of them Lana and Cygnus didn't talk to anyone from Hiccup's gang. They were all quiet until Lacie came back with no blood on her even on her clothes. "So glad I thought of wearing black when I left get's all the blood off of me real quick."
"So can you answer my question from before. Are we not your friends, Lacie?" Hiccup said as Lacie was squeezing the water out of her clothes.
""Look, don't get me wrong here but we only met twice and we barely know each other to top that off so I don't think I could label you as friends."
"Well, you are going to be staying here a while so maybe we can be friends."
"Yeah, sure. Friends it is." Lacie put out her hand and Hiccup reached out his hand and shook it.
"Oh, yeah now that we are friends maybe we can get to know each other better."
"First of all, in 5 months you spent with Mir you don't know anything about him. That's a shock since you don't know that he's the last Onyx dragon in existence."
"I'm sorry he's a what now?"
"An Onyx dragon you know the offspring from Alfrien, King of all Onyx dragons?"
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Then I guess you never went around the whole world haven't you?"
"No I haven't."
"This is going to be difficult to explain."
