Hey dudes, it's Mystyc. There's not much to say but leave a comment, and check out my other stories. MCZ, good question. I'd say that HTTYD dragons have more abilities than Pyrrhian dragons do, but I'd say Pyrrhian dragons are more civilized, not smarter, but that's my guess. So, let's get into the chapter: Choosing Sides.


Glory POV:

It's only been two hours, but we all are already tired from our planning for how we were going to extract my friends, along with taking down Blister and Drago. "Nothing's gonna work, Blister is just too smart for us." Tsunami complained. "Once again, I agree." I said yawning. "That one plan though would work." Deathbringer said, but he was only trying to lighten the mood. "I said before, we'd loose too many dragons." Toothless gowned. "Ug, If only we had some Whispering Death's around here. Odin, I'd take a Screaming Death." He shuddered after saying that. "What's wrong with a Screaming Death?" Tsunami asked. "Well, it's big, white, and scary, it also caused a lot of trouble for us back on Berk. Plus it doesn't like me." Greatness then said, "Why not fly back to Berk and grab your army?" Toothless huffed saying, "It'd take too long. It took a whole week to reach here." "And we don't have a week." I cut in. "Well, if only we had some sort of military expert or something." Thorn said. "Wish granted." An unknown voice said. We all turned into attack position, which if you weren't our target, would be amazed, despite our drowsiness. "Whoa relax Tsu. It's just me." The voice said. Then he walked in to reveal himself as Riptide. "Oh look Tsunami, your crush is here to save us all." I said laughing a little. Tsunami only blushed a little, then she went over to hug him. "What are you doing here? she asked. "Believe it or not, me and your mom made a deal." We were all surprised. Well, the ones that knew the situation between Riptide and Coral. "You, and mom, made a deal?" Tsunami asked. "Yes, it was that I was to keep you close and safe, and if I ever lost you, she'd get to torture me however she wished." A few of us nodded. "Sounds even." I remarked. "It is very even." a second voice said, who just happened to be Queen Coral herself. "Mom, you're here." Tsunami said giving her a hug.

"So, why are you two here, besides seeing Tsunami." Thorn asked. "Well, I've seen what this Drago character is capable of. Plus, I ordered Riptide to tell the talons that them, and the seawings where allying themselves with the rainwings and nightwings against Drago and Blister." Coral said. "Don't forget the sandwings of the Scorpion Den." Thorn said. "So Queen Coral, what's the playing field looking like?" I asked. "Please, just Coral when it's two queens talking. From what I know, some nightwings, almost the entire sandwing tribe, and Ruby is thinking it over. The mudwings are with Drago, along with the icewings and some rebellious skywings." A few of us dipped our heads at the news. "Now that's almost impossible. Even if the skywings ally with us, the odds are still in their favor, not to mention Drago's weapons, and the prisoners." Deathbringer said in defeat. "And I shouldn't even bring up how lazy these rainwings are, no offence." Tsunami said. "Naw, I get it, but they're making some progress." Coral then intervened. "I think Tsunami would make a great general if she could teach these rainwings to at least listen." We all nodded."Who's that?" Riptide asked pointing to Toothless. "Oh that's Starchaser, he's the one that was going to help us." Coral raised an eyeborw. "What's with the stuff he's wearing?" Toothless looked at himself. "Oh, these just allow me to fly, because my tail fin was torn off. And believe it or not, a human, or as you call them scavengers, made it, and now we're best friends." Coral tilted her head. "Sounds like something I'd expect from a newcomer, seeing as that my kingdom is usually the first kingdom you see." I then clapped my wings. "Ok, so now let's just get Commander Shark in here and we'll continue."

Soot POV:

All was quiet in the camp. Everywhere but the battle tent, where Lord Bloodvist, Ms. Hiss, Blister, Ms. Freeze, Glacier, and Mr. Creepy, Morrowseer. I was only patrolling the camp, Blister said this was 'leader business'. "I'm Lord Bloodvist's general. I should be in there aiding in the plans." I said a little too loudly. I heard stirring. I looked over to see the little ones that Blister held prisoner. I looked around to see if anyone was looking. I crept over to them. I got closer, and they were in more chains than they were before. "Why are you here, here to gloat about how powerful your leader is?" Qibli asked. "No, I was only checking on you guys, to make sure you are both secure and ok." I hissed. "Yeah, right." he retorted. I felt the urge to choke him, but I backed down. "You do realize what your master does right? He but us in chains, he uses traps that hurt, or even kill dragons. Would you live with yourself if you were constantly taking lives?" I thought about this dragon's words. Would I live with myself? Lord Bloodvist does go to drastic measures to get what he wants. "These prisoners behaving?" I heard Crosscut ask from behind me. I mouthed sorry to Qibli, then I hit him. "Now sleep on it." I said rather sternly. Well, that's what I said, but Qibli understood that I said 'I'll' instead of 'now'. "Nothing I can't handle Crosscut. You can return to your post, and maybe get a bath, ship watch is starting to take it's toll on you." I said pretending to pinch my snout. "Thank you general." He said, then he lifted off. I turned back around to see all of them where awake. "Be glad I didn't pin you." I said. Then I walked away.

Warning, Character death, not for kids six and under, You've been warned

It was Crosscut's shift, and boy was I tired. Almost midnight. I found a good spot to sleep and right when I layed down, I was out. I found myself in a dream, which I don't have much. This one however, felt very real. I looked at the ground below me, it was scorched to a crisp. All across it, where the bodies of dead dragons. There where so many. All kinds of dragons, one of each type, a mudwing, Nightmare, Whispering Death, Skrill, the entire deer. I looked ahead, and what I saw, was truly horrifying. Drago there, on a hill. He was the only one standing unscathed. I saw Blister just at his feet, dead. Her eyes where gouged out, and a huge gash ran deep down her back. Morrowseer next to her, also dead. Then I saw him, the night fury, and his rider. They were alive though, barely. Then, Lord Bloodvist knocked the boy to the ground. Then, he ran the night fury through with his bull hook. The look in his eyes, pleading, begging for mercy, but it was too late. The night fury's eyes went dark, lifeless now. Then Lord Bloodvist walked up to me. "You've done well." I looked away to the side, and saw Crosscut there, shallowly breathing. He looked at me with pure fear, and uttered one word, "Run." Then he stopped breathing. In the distance, I even saw Icebane. He was dead as well. "I should reward you." Lord Bloodvist continued. I looked at my claws, covered in dragon blood. "But I'm afraid, I am in no more need of you." I looked back to him. He raised his bull hook. I tried to move but I couldn't. Then he brought it down on me, going through me.

Bad Part Over, Yeesh that was hard

I woke up with a start. It was still night, but it looked to be around three. "It was all a dream." I said panting. I looked around. Nothing changed, just as how it was when I went to sleep. I thought about what Qibli said to me, how Drago has no remorse for killing. Is he right? If I continued this path, would I help end the dragons? I had to make a choice. "Do I serve Lord Bloodvist, or do I make my own discissions?" I asked myself. I got up and went to the prisoners. Only Sunny was up. "Hey Sunny." She looked over and growled a little. "You stay away." I raised my claw. "No need to be aggressive, that was part of the act. I came to tell you guys something." She woke up the others. "Now what, you gonna hit the rest of us?" Fatespeaker said. "No, I came to tell you that I have made up my mind." I leaned in closer in case anyone was listening. "I'm gonna get you guys out of here." Their looks went from a little bitter, to excited. "Shush, there's guards near by. I can't help you now, but possibly tomorrow I can." They shook their heads in agreement. "Now go to sleep, things may get crazy tomorrow, so you'll need plenty of energy." They did so, and I started to walk away, but Fate said, "Are we gonna get Starflight back?" I frowned a little. "That's a different story, but I'll see what I can do." She looked happy. "Thank you Soot." I nodded and continued to walk on. "Don't worry my friends, I'll make sure we don't loose anyone here, not on my watch." I whispered, even though they couldn't hear me.
