Hiccup and the others were trying to catch up to heaven as quickly as they could before she reached Megadoza. Of course even if they did capture her none of them knew what to say to convince her to stay.

"Please wait for us, Heather," Ruby pleaded as she looked out of the window. "We will find you no matter what it takes."

"Still 300 miles is a lot of ground to cover," said Hiccup.

Fishlegs nodded. "Yeah, I'm glad were moving fast, but…" He then looked up at Ragnar. "Hey, Ragnar, tell me is there any way you can use teleportation?"

"I'm concerned about Heather like the rest of you, but sadly my powers are limited," said Ragnar regretfully. "At the moment and using the majority of my power to maintain my astral projection form. Also, I would like to keep a reserve of my magical power for emergencies."

Astrid stepped up. "What do you mean by that?"

Ragnar raised his hand and appearing in front of them was a map of the continent. "In the direction Heather is heading, from the ruins of Edinburg Castle along the way, I am picking up waves of monstrous evil."

Everyone grimaced knowing what this evil was, they were heading straight towards the Ten Commandments.


Galand had returned to the Ten Commandments and bragged about how he killed Hiccup and the others.

"You're saying you killed Hiccup?" said Fraudrin dubiously.

"That's right," said Galand as he leaned back. "I also got rid of the other pesky gnats in his group, but to be honest the whole thing was really disappointing. How could the bane of our race, who once struck terror into the heart of the Demon Race, meet such an end?"

"Is this true, Galand?" Fraudrin questioned. "It seems rather hard to believe you could bring him down so easily."

Galand looked insulted. "Are you doubting me? So you don't trust what Galand of Truth is telling you?"

Fraudrin shook his head. "No. I am well aware of your powers, I'm just a bit surprised."

Galand then sensed something nearby and rose to his feet.

"Are you going somewhere again?" the boy covered in vines asked.

"Just a little walk," he said as he grabbed his spear. "It's not in me to sit still like the rest of you."

He then jumped so high that he vanished. The man with the moustache round, something had been bothering him with the entire tale.


Heather was actually close by to the castle, unaware of the dangers she was heading towards. She still had no memories of the Seven Deadly Sins, in fact the only memory she had was her brother dining her arms.

"I have to tell everyone in my homeland right away," she said. "That Dagur protected me until he…" She then stopped and burst into tears as the memory was too painful, "died."

It was then that she noticed for the first time the ruins of Edinburg castle. "What's that? Never seen anything so strange before. Some kind of rocky mountain? Or maybe a…" She then immediately sense a dark presence that terrified her to the bone, it was unlike nothing she had sense before.

Galand had sensed her close by and went off to investigate, he was quite surprised to see that Heather was still alive.

"How is it that you're still alive giant girl?" Galand demanded.

Heather just stood there paralysed in fear. 'What is this? It feels like goosebumps all over my body, who's behind me?' She then clenched her fist and did all she could to swallow her fear. 'No, I can't turn around.'

"I'm certain that I dealt the final blow," Galand continued.

Heather then used all her strength and immediately ran away from Galand as quickly as she could, catching him by surprise. 'Don't think about anything. Just run away as fast as you can.'

However, she didn't get too far when appearing on a small cliff was a man with a moustache and she felt the same power coming from him.

"A member of the Giant Race, as soul the size of yours should help to restore my magical powers," he said.

Heather backed away from, she turned around and found that Galand had been able to catch up to her. Not really surprising considering that she only ran a few hundred yards spam of a few seconds.

"Monspeet, I see you have a keen nose as well," said Galand looking at the man with the moustache.

"I'm glad that I ate that normal size human soul earlier," he said dismissively. "But honestly it just made me hungrier."

Galand laughed. "I bet you're here at Derieri's request." He was reference into the dirty blonde girl, who was currently sleeping soundly in the ruins. "Figures, she's always meddling around."

"She has nothing to do with this," said Monspeet narrowing his eyes. "I came down because my own hunger drove me here."

Heather just looked at the two of them in shock. 'What? Who are these two? They look human, but inside is something else entirely. Nothing like the Fairy or the Giant Races… no, if that's the case then…'

"By the way Giant Girl, you still haven't answered my question," said Galand turning his attention back onto Heather. "So I will ask you again. Why are you still alive?"

"Don't come near me," Heather warned as she raised Gideon. "Stay back! I've never seen you before!"

"No point in lying to me, you saw it didn't you?" said Galand as he approached. "How that annoying mage pulled a lie in my presence and was turned to stone right in front of you."

"What are you talking about?" Heather asked fearfully. "I don't know you so leave me alone!"

Galand laughed. "Sounds like you just told me a lie."

However, to Heather's perspective she was actually telling the truth so she wasn't turned to stone and immediately swung Gideon with all her strength. "Stay away from me!"

Galand just stood there and took the attack and Heather was completely shocked by the result. Galand had somehow managed to stop her swing with one hand and was now pushing Gideon away.

"You're not turning to stone," he noted. "It's as if you don't remember anything. Maybe I didn't finish you off like I thought I did."

Heather was now completely terrified and had no idea what to do. 'I don't know what to do. I can only hope that someone like Hiccup will save me.'

"Whatever," said Galand. "Either way you will die this time!"

He then pushed Gideon away causing Heather to lose her balance, then in a split second he immediately jumped into the air and dealt some devastating kick right in Heather's stomach. He struck her so hard that Heather spat out a lot of blood and she was knocked to the ground.

Monspeet raised his hand preparing to finish her off. "All right, stay down. I am going to help myself to your soul."

However, before he could launch an attack something hard struck him and he was sent flying into the air. What hit him was a stone pillar which erupted from the ground completely out of nowhere.

"What's this?" said Galand as he slid across the ground.

Then suddenly the ground beneath him shattered and rocks began to bombard him constantly.

"Breaking Wave!" a voice yelled.

Heather looked up recognising the attack, but it was impossible. "No way. That magical power…"

"You dare attack the Ten Commandments!" Galand roared.

Then suddenly the stones that had been shot up into the air rushed towards him and into Monday him in a stone block, the only thing of invisible was his spear.

"Prison Grip!" said the mysterious voice.

Heather then heard large footsteps and saw something moving in the dust.


Meanwhile Hiccup and the others were still trying to catch up to Heather, but they were still hundreds of miles away.

Hiccup then suddenly sensed something in the distance and he immediately put on the brakes.

Fishlegs looked at him. "What's going on, Hiccup? Shouldn't we try and catch up to Heather?"

Fishlegs then suddenly sensed the same thing Hiccup felt a few moments ago. "Whoa, I'm sensing three powerful auras."

"It's two of the Ten Commandments and somebody else," said Hiccup as he looked towards the distance. "I don't know who, but they are fighting. On the Ten Commandments side there is Monspeet and Galand. The other has a power that I haven't come across before, but it is quite similar to Heather's."


Heather watched as the figure that saved her exited from the dust cloud and her eyes widened. For her saviour was none other than her brother, Dagur the Deranged, who was clearly alive and well.

"No way," she breathed. "Dagur, is that you?"

Tears of joy then filled Heather's eyes. "Thank goodness." She then rose herself to her feet. "I thought you were… that you were…"

Dagur then suddenly and surprisingly punched a hard in the gut, knocking the wind right out of her. "Why?"

Heather then lost consciousness and fell into Dagur's arms. Dagur knew that there was no time for explanations and he only caught the Ten Commandments offguard, next time they would be so lucky meaning they had to get out of here. He then placed Heather on his shoulder and grabbed Gideon and began to walk off.

Galand eventually freed himself from the stone prison almost immediately. "I haven't been this fired up in a long long time. I must admit it's pretty amazing you are able to catch me offguard like that."

However, Dagur had completely vanished into thin air. "Hey, wait a second, where'd they go? Teleportation? It can't be, a member of the Giant Race with such advanced power, I've never heard of such a thing."

Dagur had used his powers in order to hide within the ground, but he knew that Galand would figure out where he was hiding eventually.

"Could he have turned into a bird and flown up into the sky?" Galand pondered looking at the birds flying above. He then suddenly jumped into the air and pounded the ground with his spear. "Cruel Slash Barrage!"

Monspeet had regained consciousness and was a tad annoyed. "Interrupting my meal. How classless, this is why I detest people with no manners."

He then suddenly sensed several powerful energy signatures in the distance.


Hiccup could sense that Monspeet had sensed them as did everyone else.

Sven looked at Ragnar. "Ragnar, could this overpowering murderous intent be…"

Ragnar nodded gravely. "Yes, it looks like they've detected our presence as well."

"But we're still at hundreds of miles away," Toothless stared.

"How is that even possible?" Ruffnut asked.

"I mean how can we sneak up on them if they can sense this far away?" Tuffnut asked.

"I can't believe that he is the one that noticed us," Hiccup cursed.


"Multiple powerful presences concentrated in one place like a birdcage," said Monspeet as he looked off into the distance. "On top of that, one of them is very similar to Hiccup." He then raised his hand which immediately burst into flames. "I'll use Hellfire Bird. All right, let's see what's out there."

He then unleashed a viable which then took the form of a bird and it soared across the ground with unbelievable speed. Nothing stopped it, it went past an ogre that was busy fighting a bunch of knight burning all of them to a crisp. It then soared over a town setting it on fire and then went straight through a mountain.


Hiccup and the others could sense the attack heading their way and they knew there was no way they could survive it.

"A mass of devastating power is heading towards us and top speed!" Fishlegs panicked.

"Judging from its speed and power I'd say that we have less than 10 seconds," said Astrid.

Hiccup immediately turned the wheel was hardly could. "Hold on to something!"

The Black Dragon turned in hopes that they could avoid the attack, but it merely changed direction and was soon back on their tail.

"The magical power just changed course it's pursuing us," said Sven.

Hiccup looked at the twins. "Take over!"

He then immediately jumped out of the sat and Ruffnut quickly took control over the tavern. Hiccup then rushed outside and he could see something shining heading towards them in the distance.

"It's coming," said Toothless, who had followed him outside.

Hiccup bit his lip. "This attack is to see if it's really me out here. If I use my power to absorb the attack they'll know for sure that I'm still alive also my exact location." Hiccup then prepared himself knowing that he had no choice. "I don't want to, but there's no other way out of this."

Toothless then raised his wing blocking Hiccup's path. "Leave this to me."

Hiccup stared down at him. "Toothless what you think you're doing?"

"Helping," he said.

Then before Hiccup could stop him Toothless immediately took flight and charge towards the massive fireball. He then opened his mouth and amazingly swallow the attack whole, smoke poured out of his mouth and nostrils, but otherwise he was just fine.

Everyone just stared as Toothless landed back on the Black Dragon.


They weren't the only ones who were taken completely by surprise, Monspeet was stunned himself not to mention confused.

"The Hellfire Bird signal vanished into thin air," he blinked. "The strangest thing is it didn't feel as if it had been absorbed more like it had been swallowed by something." He then rubbed his moustache as he pondered. "Goodness me, that fruitless effort just wasted the tiny smidgen of magical power I regained from eating that human soul."

Galand had finally stopped his attack, but there was no sign of Dagur anywhere which frustrated him to no end.

"There's no sign of them surfacing anywhere," he said and then he looked down at his spear which was covered in blood. "But I'm more than certain that I did some damage to them. Have they perished?"

When Galand started his attack Dagur quickly used his powers to bowl deeper into the ground, but his spear did graze his shoulder. He soon emerged on a nearby mountain that was several miles away from the battle.


Hiccup and the others were now following the trail that Monspeet's attack had left behind, it had created a scorched line all the way down the countryside and possibly even further.

"I had no idea you were able to eat flames like that," said Hiccup looking down at Toothless.

"It's not something that dragons do often, it leaves us with terrible indigestion," Toothless groaned as he laid there. "I certainly don't want to do it again."

"Hiccup, listen," said Ragnar and everyone looked at him. "I advise that we change direction."

Fishlegs looked at him. "What about Heather?"

"Believe me, I'm as concerned about Heather as the rest of you, but Heather's presence has faded," Ragnar informed them. "Along with the one that was confronting the Ten Commandments, this happened right before we were attacked. Most likely they're both safe, but if we were to heading and approach them now, I'm afraid we would be putting Heatherand the person helping her in danger."

"Judging from your tone I can only suspect that you have somewhere else in mind," Hiccup assumed.

"Right now our top priority is the power up so that we can fight against the Ten Commandments and for that to happen we need to restore your power, Hiccup."

Everyone immediately stared at Ragnar.

"Wait, you mean that Sir Hiccup has only been fighting at half strength all this time?" said Sven.

"Actually it's more closer to one tenth," said Astrid folding her arms.

"What power is this?" Ruby asked.

"Long ago Hiccup fought in a massive war and at the end of it he became a changed man," Ragnar informed them. "At the time there was no need for such power to be used and Hiccup had lost his how to control that power. And to that end he asked me to remove a percentage of his power and it's why he always kept his emotions in check so his powers win run rampant."

"Hang on, we've seen him use his powers before many times," Toothless blinked.

"In terms of his true power what you saw were merely leftovers," Ragnar explained.

"I won't go into further details as it does get personal, but Astrid and I also took part in a war," Ragnar informed them.

Astrid nodded. "That is certainly a day I wish to forget."

"Surely we would have heard of such a conflict before?" Fishlegs frowned.

"I have no doubt that you have, you just don't realise which conflict we took part in nor are we going to tell you," said Ragnar.

"And why not?" Ruffnut asked.

"Yeah, why keep secrets now?" Tuffnut questioned.

"Article 1 of the Seven Deadly Sins Seven Codes," said Astrid closing her eyes. "No Sin will ask another said what their crime was and Hiccup's crime took part in that war."

"But now that were facing such an enemy we are going to need to get that power back if we want to end up victorious against the Ten Commandments," said Ragnar.

"And where is my power now?" Hiccup asked.

Ragnar raised his hand and a map of the continent appeared in front of them. "The location isn't that far from here. It is the Holy Land of the Druids, Easta."


With those directions Hiccup immediately guided the Black Dragon to Easta, but it wasn't as impressive as many imagined. All they could see were hills and stones littering the place and there was certainly no sign of any civilisation.

"So this is Easta?" Ruby asked. "It's the Holy Land of the Druids, right?"

"Yep, it's been 10 years since I've been here," said Hiccup as he walked towards the plane.

"Sir Hiccup are you familiar with the Druids and what they do?" Ruby asked.

"I do, it was one of the Seven Deadly Sins missions, though at the time I had no idea that Ragnar gave them my powers."

"I know we're in the right place, but there's nothing but stoned as far as the eye can see and there doesn't seem to be anyone around," Ruby frowned.

She then saw that they were heading towards a large stone archway. "My what a beautiful view."

Hiccup smiled. "Funnily enough it's what I said the first time I saw it too."

Ruby then began to enter into the archway. "Did the Druids build all these too?"

Once Ruby stepped through the archway her eyes widened, because only she found herself in what can only be described as an oasis. They appear to be standing on an island in the middle of a lake and it was listed with same stones they saw outside and there appeared to be a large tower of stone close to the edge of the island there was only a land bridge which connected the island to the archway.

"Sir Hiccup, what's this?" Ruby asked as she turned back towards the archway.

Hiccup smiled as he walked through. "It would seem as if they've been expecting us."

"What are you talking about?" Toothless frowned as he stepped through and then saw the wonder on the other side. "Whoa, it's amazing."

"How exactly does this work?" Sven asked as he and the others step through as well.

"It's a special type of gate that protects this place," Ragnar explained. "In order to pass through it, you need the spell casters permission."

"Then if the gate is already opened then…"

"Look over there," said Toothless using one of his wings to point.

They turned and found that on the other side of the land bridge were three people waiting for them. Two of them were young girls in dresses, the other was a muscular warrior that just stood there like a statue.

"Your deduction is correct, we were indeed aware of your arrival," said one of the girls. This girl was slightly taller than the other and she was wearing a red dress and had long blonde hair.

"Who are they?" Ruffnut blinked.

"And whether they come from?" Tuffnut added.

"Those would be the Druid chiefs," said Fishlegs.

The blonde haired girl smiled. "The Seven Deadly Sins, it's been quite a while. I am Lady Jenna." She then just as the other girl who was simple white dress and had long black hair. "And this is my younger sister Zaneri."

Toothless blinked. "So if you guys are the Druid chiefs, who is the big guy beside you?"

"I am the priest in charge of protecting our two chiefs and my name is Theo," he said.

"You've certainly had a growth spurt since last time I saw you, Theo," said Hiccup as he folded his arms.

"Indeed, Sir Hiccup, and I'm still growing," he said with a smile.

"I'm sorry if I sound presumptuous, but we didn't come here for social call," said Hiccup.

"Oh, we know why you came to the Holy Land, so there is no need for you to explain," said Jenna smiled cheerfully.

"That certainly make things easier," said Ragnar. "Of course I should expect anything less from the Druid chief, thank you."

Jenna then turned towards the archway where Gustav was standing. "By the way Ragnar, that young man standing at the entrance is he a friend of yours?"

Skull landed on Gustav's shoulder. "Gustav, aren't you going to go?"

Gustav couldn't look at him and said nothing.

"If you're ready Sir Hiccup, let us go to the tower on the right," said Zaneri with a dry voice.

"Very well," Hiccup nodded.

Zaneri then looked at that Ruby. "And you as well."

"Me?" Ruby blinked. "What for?"

"I can hardly keep up, everything is moving so quickly," said Sven.

"Sometimes I think it's best not to think about it," said Ruffnut.

"Same here," Tuffnut nodded.

Sven rolled his eyes. "Not only did they know that we were coming, but they knew our purpose as well."

"You're forgetting that the Druids work with some mysterious spells and the usually no more than the letting on," said Fishlegs.

"Makes you wonder what else their hiding?"

Astrid just looked at Hiccup and Ruby as they were making their way to the tower.

Ragnar appeared beside him. "You're concerned with them."

Astrid looked at him. "You know as well as I that those two destinies are intertwined and their destiny lead only to pain."

Ragnar closed his eyes. "I know, you would think after all this time she would have forgiven him and her. He's already suffered enough by the hands of the Demon King, you would think the Angel Queen would be more merciful."


Zaneri guided the two of them to the tower on the far right of the island and soon they entered into a dark cave.

'Why does she want me to accompany him?' Ruby pondered.

"Ruby, keep up," said Hiccup.

"Oh, right," said Ruby when she discovered that she was lagging behind.

The cave was pitch black, they could barely see what was in front of them let alone what was behind.

"It's so dark," said Ruby.

"My powers inside this place?" Hiccup asked.

"Yes," said Zaneri as she came to a stop. "And at this point, you have to go through a trial Hiccup. Returning your power will depend on the result."

"Sounds simple enough," said Hiccup.

"It will be very painful and difficult, to be completely honest I am worried that you may not be able to take it."

Ruby looked at Hiccup with a worried look. 'She's willing to admit something like that to him what could it be?'

"Then let's get started," said Hiccup with a stoic look.

Zaneri closed her eyes and raised her hands and her body began to glow in a bright white aura. She then began to chant in ancient language that Ruby was unable to understand, when she finished the chant a bright circle appeared Hiccup, it was so bright that he was forced to cover his eyes.

When he opened them he found himself in a street in a familiar-looking town.

"Where am I?" he frowned.

Then suddenly a man with a crate bumped into him. "Whoops, sorry stranger."

Hiccup looked at him. "No problems, but you mind tell me where I am?"

The man blinked. "Why you're in Danafor."

Hiccup then immediately looked down and saw that he was wearing a travelling robe with the hood up. His hands were covered in bandages and Inferno was strapped to his waist. The strangest thing is he recognise the clothing, which he had warned the nearly 2 decades.

"Danafor?" Hiccup blinked and that's when he saw the flags bearing the crest flying over the rooftops and over the castle walls. "No way, it can't be. Then that would mean…"

"There you are Hiccup, Astrid and I have been looking for you," said a familiar voice.

Hiccup's eyes widened as he slowly turned around. "I know that voice, but…" He turned around and found Astrid standing there, giving him a dirty look, and next to her was a Dragon Knight wearing Fireworm armour, who bore a striking resemblance to Ruby. "Ruby."
