"Where Should We Start"

As Hiccup and Toothless zoomed through the wind, Hiccup started thinking of places where to find Cami. The most obvious place was with the Bog-Burglars. These vikings consists of female vikings. They were as big as the vikings in Berk, maybe even bigger. So they were pretty easy to spot in a crowd.

The tricky part was that they were always on the move. They usually sail on different places and pillage villages thus the name of their tribe. Not to mention that Cami might not be there in the first place. He just hoped that Big-Boobied Bertha, Camicazi's mother, knew where she was.

There was one place that he has a hunch that Camicazi would be found. Trader's Isle. Sure it was a long shot but he didn't have any other leads. All he got to do was keep going north and he would eventually arrive there. When in a boat, it would usually take about a day's trip towards there but when riding a dragon, especially a night fury, it would probably only take him a few hours.

Hiccup went from boat to boat and the reactions were always the same. Vikings started screaming the moment they saw Toothless and others threw nets and spears at them. Others would jump on the ocean and started swimming away, hoping not to get burned.

To Hiccup's surprise, the more he went further north the less vikings got surprised when they see a dragon. Infact, some even have dragons onboard their ships. Hiccup was finally able to land on a ship without any interference.

"Greetings stranger, what brings you here in our fine ship on this fine day?" a viking, probably, greeted in an overly optimistic tone. He didn't look like a viking though. He was thin. Infact, Hiccup was the tallest person there. Most of the men that crowded him were a head shorter than him. Some of them even looked like they wouldn't last 5 seconds in an arm wrestle with him.

"I'm actually looking for some vikings and I was hoping you could help me" Hiccup said

The viking smiled even more "Sure! Can you give us a name?"

Hiccup nodded "They call themselves the Bog-Burglars. You heard of them?"

The viking nodded "Aye. They're the ones who sold us some supplies for our ship." This time he sighed sadly "Just a few weeks ago, we were robbed and most of our food was gone. We thought we would die in the sea" then his eyes brightened and his ever-plastered smile returned. "That's when they came along and sold us food! Yeah, it was a bit pricey but food was food." He laughed

Hiccup didn't return it though. It was obvious that the people who stole their supplies in the first place was the Bog-Burglars and sold them back for a higher price. Camicazi did the same trick a few years back when she stole a merchant's stack of jewelry and sold it back to him for double the price. The merchant didn't have a choice because Camicazi hid the jewelry somewhere else and he couldn't blame a little girl of being a thief without any proof.

Hiccup didn't tell the viking though because he wasn't in the mood to listen to a random viking's ramblings about being cheated. He had better things to do.

"So did you know where they were headed?" Hiccup cut off the viking before he could continue rambling about how hungry and exhausted they were. Hiccup resisted rolling his eyes. These vikings were pathetic.

The viking blinked in confusion before he finally remembered that who he was talking about.

"Oh sure, their headed towards Trader's Isle. You know what they say, if you want something and want it bad then you can find it at Trader's Isle!" he said it like it was the best thing in the world.

Hiccup was now completely positive that he didn't want anything to do with these… people, anymore.

"Uhmm… That's great…" he slowly mounted Toothless "I'll be just on my way now…"

"Ok, bye!" the guy waved enthusiastically "if you see them, say hi for us!"

Hiccup nodded and he and Toothless flew off.

When Hiccup was far away enough, the viking's enthusiastic smile was replaced with a sadistic one. He began to laugn maniacally.

One of his men approached him fearfully

"Si-sir…"

"What?!" the once happy viking glared menacingly at him "How dare you interrupt me!"

"Bu-but sir… tha-that wa-was a night fury!" the scared viking cowered.

The leader glared at him "Fool! Don't you think I know that!" he snapped his fingers and two of his men grabbed the cowering viking by his arms and lifted him off the deck.

"Wa-wait! I'm sorry!" he begged as he was carried towards the edge of the boat "Please! I didn't mean it!"

The leader smiled sadistically at him "Tell Hel I said hi" and he nodded to the two men. They released their grip and the man fell to the sea. When the viking resurfaced, he swam as fast he could. It was like he was escaping from something. Suddenly, he stopped in place and started screaming as blood surfaced, originating from him. He was then violently jerked to the left while leaving a trail of blood on the water. He made one last scream before he was submerged. Nothing resurfaced after that except for the poor man's blood.

Whatever got the viking was clearly not satisfied since it was circling the boat the viking was currently riding.

"Soon, my pet, soon…" the viking whispered while he cackled maniacally at himself.

AN: Aha! A new villain and it looks like he has a pet! I wonder who it is and what his pet is… Enjoy and Review!
