"Why Do They Want It So Bad"

Heather reached and grabbed Thuggory's hand. Hiccup didn't even bother to glare because the situation was too serious for the action.

"Please Thuggory, what can you tell us about the knife?"

"First of all, it's called the Dagger of Resurgence."

"Dagger of… Resurgence?" Heather asked as she found the word foreign and Thuggory nodded.

"So it heals people?" Hiccup asked

"Not just heal them, it revives the dead" Thuggory said darkly and the room suddenly got colder.

"But that's impossible, right? Hiccup?" Astrid asked his fiancé

"After what we've been through? I'll believe in anything." Hiccup said with a laugh

"It's possible. In fact" he said while he removed his shirt, revealing a huge scar right to his heart "I died" he said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"You… died? But you're here!" Stoick said as he pointed to the Meathead chief

Thuggory shook his head "It happened when I was still 5 years old…"

Boom!

"Dragons! Sound the alarm!" A viking shouted as he ordered another one to blow the huge horn. Dragons were attacking the village again. It was in the middle of the afternoon. Nobody was expecting the dragons to attack since they usually did it during the night. Because of the random encounter, children were left to defend themselves.

"Everyone inside! Now! Make sure the children are safe!" Mogadon said as he charged dead-on towards a monstrous nightmare. Little did he know that his son was still in the forest, playing.

-Forest-

"Oh gods, oh gods, oh gods!" a five-year-old Thuggory said as he ran for his life towards the village. He forgot to do his chores again! His dad was going to kill him, literally this time! He passed by branches, trunks and roots. He knew the forest like it was the back of his hand. Other kids didn't play with him because they were afraid of his dad. He didn't know why though. His father was nice to him all the time, when he was not causing trouble.

Then Thuggory saw it, the Meathead village. He ran faster since his father was probably in a meeting or something like that. What he didn't expect though was for a dragon to land infront of him. He halted and looked up just in time for the dragon to roar at his face. He screamed and cried his heart out. Before the dragon could take a huge bite off him, Mogadon suddenly appeared and sliced the dragon's head off.

"Thug, what are you doing here?! Get inside, now!" he barked and Thuggory started running towards his house.

He was having a hard time in going to his house since every turn he made, there was fighting. Dragons and vikings were killed alike. Even as a young boy, Thuggory was already introduced to these kinds of violence. Thuggory kept running and eventually made it to his house. He locked it behind him and crouched under the dining table.

He sat under there while closing his eyes. He couldn't block out the sounds though. Screams of people dying was heard outside and he couldn't help but feel sad for them. All those people… Suddenly he jerked his head to the roof of his house since there was some kind of noise from above. Just then, the ceiling crashed and a monstrous nightmare landed inside. It sniffed the air, apparently it was looking for something.

Thuggory tried to crawl away but his shoulder hit the side of the table and caused a ruckus resulting in the dragon looking at him. The nightmare glared at him before releasing a roar and rushed towards him. Thuggory stood up and ran upstairs towards his room. Since the nightmare was too big, it destroyed the stair when it gave chase.

Mogadon rushed through the door and started looking for his son "Thug! Are you there?! Thug! Thuggory!" the nightmare heard him and engulfed itself in flames and charged at Mogadon, setting the house aflame. Mogadon dodged the rampaging dragon as it was rushing towards him. He looked up and noticed that the second floor of the house was going down.

"Hey, overgrown lizard! Over here!" he taunted and the nightmare took the bait. It rammed towards Mogadon and just as it was infront of him, the second floor gave in and crushed the nightmare. Mogadon panted and supported himself.

"Da-dad?" he heard a faint voice. Mogadon raised his in alarming rate and to his worst nightmares, saw his son, Thuggory, impaled by the dead nightmare's horn. "Wh-what hap… happened?" Thuggory coughed as blood oozed from his mouth.

"No… son, you're going to be alright, you hear me?" Mogadon kneeled infront of his dying son, crying. Thuggory raised his hand and Mogadon squeezed it hard. "You're going to pull through this, alright?" Mogadon choked

Thuggory smiled and the sparks from his eyes started to die "Dad… I-I love you…" he coughed out blood "You… and… mom… Please… tell… her… that I… I…" but before he could finish, he drew his final breath and his temperature grew cold.

"No…" Mogadon whispered as he hugged his son tightly and removed him from his current position "No…..!"

"What happened next?" Heather asked as she started to cry. Thuggory reached over and wiped the tears off her face.

"Then my mother found my dad sobbing and holding my lifeless body." Thuggory smiled sadly "I wasn't the only kid to die though. More than half the kids my age died that day."

"Can you please tell us what happens next?" Heather requested

Thuggory nodded "Later that day, the strangest thing happened, a witch visited our village"

Heather gasped "A witch?!"

Stoick steeled his gaze "When a witch appears at a village, that usually means nothing good"

Thuggory nodded "She requested to see my father. She said that she has something that could help revive me dead body." Thuggory sighed sadly "They shouldn't have accepted her offer to help them. They should've made her leave."

AN: Boom! Gotta leave it there guys! I'm tired XD Man, I wish I can write earlier but my schedule doesn't want me to. Enjoy and Review!
