Astrid looked up in amazement at the sight of the dragons nest before her; it was gigantic, she couldn't even believe that a dragon needed an entire island to itself and needed the entire dragon species to bring it food.
She looked around and saw an entrance just small enough for her to squeeze through, she looked back at Stoick and saw that he was talking to himself, probably planing how they were going to destroy it.

" Um, sir, why don't you go back to Berk and gather some troops while I stay here and look over the surroundings," Astrid said with a fake smile; Stoick had agreed with the idea and got back on the ship," I'll be back soon, be careful," Astrid gave a nod and watched as the ship slowly disappeared into the fog.
Astrid was relieved when he was gone and made her way to the crack in the rocks and squeezed through, it was jet black inside but she could see a dim light at the end that helped her find her way. She gasped when he saw that she was finally at the center of the nest, dragons flew around, dropping food into the pit and then landing on ledges and backing away as far as possible as if something was going to attack them.
Astrid looked around and she smiled when she saw Hiccup, it looked like he was curled up near his mother, he was trembling slightly, the pour thing must've been terrified.

Astrid maneuvered her way around the dragons without being spotted and put a hand on Hiccup's shoulder, making him flinch and have his eyes widen," Astrid, I'm so glad to see you, but why are you her, it'll surely kill you if anyone see's," Hiccup motioned for Astrid to follow him as he crawled under his mothers wing.
Astrid was hesitant but followed, trying to ignore the growl that came from the female Nightmare," are you sure she's okay with me being close to you," hiccup nodded and sighed as he leaned against the soft spot under her wing like it was a pillow.

Astrid could feel the warmth radiating off the dragon and she felt herself begin to sweat, she couldn't understand how Hiccup was resting so easily, suddenly, a rumble was felt beneath them and a loud screech echoed through the nest.
" Oh no, Stoick must be back with the troops, we need to get out of here before this nest collapses," Astrid said as she pulled Hiccup to his feet; all the dragons began to screech and flap their wings, flying away from a giant white dragon that had risen from the pit.

Both Astrid and Hiccup looked in shock at the sight of the gigantic dragon grab a few dragons by their tails and swallow them whole; their attention was drawn away when Hiccup's mother roared," what did she say?" Astrid asked," she wants you to get on her back," Astrid was shocked by this, but she knew Hiccup probably wasn't strong enough to carry her out of here, so she did as she was told and climbed onto the Nightmares back.
With a screech, the flock of Nightmares took off along with the rest of the dragons just as the nest came crashing in on itself.

Astrid looked down to see multiple ships with flaming catapults; Hiccup gasped when he saw that they had captured Toothless, how did they find him? Unless...he must've heard the call and left the sanctuary.
" I'm going to go get Toothless," Hiccup said as he landed on the ground and ran past multiple Vikings and onto the ship that held Toothless," Hiccup, these vikings will kill you, you need to escape," Hiccup shook his head and began to pull at the chains, he recognized these, they were the same chains that injured his wings, so that meant they were fire proof, but the wood connected to them wasn't.
Hiccup was just about to breath fire on the wood when the earth began to rumble again, but this time he heard a loud screech that got both the dragons and the vikings attentions.

A giant dragon with red eyes and white scales burst out from the rubble of the destroyed nest.
" The Red Death...Hiccup! Hurry!" Toothless shouted at the boy, knowing it was too late for him; the red death, saw the ships and began to walk over to them as vikings shoot flaming rocks at it.
Doing this only seemed to make it even more furious, the dragon opened its mouth and began to breath fire on the ships, destroying their only way back to the island and only line of defense.

Hiccup wasn't affected at all by the fire but Toothless was, he struggled as water began to fill the ship, Hiccup gasped, he couldn't swim in water, his flame would be put out and he would be done for.
The half-dragon knew he couldn't abandon his friend so he would do whatever he could to help Toothless escape, even if it meant risking his life; Hiccup took his last gasp of breath as his head went under.

The water was cold and he could feel the flame deep inside him beginning to die as he got colder, but he had to release Toothless. His vision began to darken as the last of his strength was sapped from him and his hands loosened there grip on the chain.
The last thing Hiccup saw was Toothless crying out his name, trying to swim over to him but only sinking deeper and deeper into the dark depths of the water.

" Tooth...less."
