Astrid and Fishlegs waited inside one of the tents back at Camp. Pacing back and forth inside the tent, Astrid groaned as she shook her head. It had been hours now and there was still no word on Hiccup. Nor what happened to Hiccup or whatever it was that had taken him. Grimmel and the others had set off looking for Hiccup. But they still weren't back yet.

"What is taking so long? Hiccup could be in danger!" Astrid proclaimed.

Fishlegs uttered a faint moan, tapping his fingers over the table. He was worried about Hiccup and whatever it was that was out there. What had attacked them the night before and had taken their friend. Who knows what had happened to him. What if he had gotten eaten? Or worse?

"Poor, Hiccup. What if somethings happen to him?" Fishlegs said.

Fishlegs suddenly gasped in awe.

"What if it eaten him?!" He said, worryingly.

Astrid paused as the thought of something having happened to Hiccup. Whatever it was that took him, it certainly didn't look friendly. As evident by the condition of half of the expedition. Dr. Mendoza was off treating some of Grimmel men, who were badly injured during the attacks. It probably took Hiccup for it's next meal.

Astrid then shook her head, turning back to him.

"Lets not jump to conclusions, Fishlegs. We don't know if that's true." She insisted to him.

"Your right, your right, we shouldn't jump to conclusions. Hiccup is probably fine." Fishlegs said, nervously.

Though despite the benefit of the doubt, it was far from reassuring. Especially when they both knew there was an even chance of both outcomes. It was right at that moment, they heard voiced from outside the tent. Astrid turned forward, where she peered out through the opening of the tent. It was there they saw Grimmel and his men had returned from the search.

The two came out of the tent and came up to Grimmel.

"Grimmel, did you find Hiccup?"

Grimmel shook his head to him.

"I'm afraid not. No sign of him anywhere." Grimmel said.

"Or the creature that took him."

Astrid frowned, worryingly.

"Oh, no. What if something really did happen?!" Fishlegs exclaimed, running his hands through his hair.

"Worry not, we will continue the search in due time. As well as the creatures who attacked us." Grimmel insisted to them.

Fishlegs uttered a sigh of relief at Grimmel's insistence. He turned forward as he walked over to his tent.

"They won't escape me this time." He said to himself.

Astrid glanced over at Grimmel, having heard the words he uttered to himself. The sound of his voice was certainly one to cause her to squint her eyes in suspision.

"Did he seem a bit...?" Astrid asked, glancing back at Fishlegs.

Fishlegs glanced to her curiously. Having not to what she had been saying, causing her to sigh and roll her eyes. She then shifted her gaze back toward the jungle.

"Where are you Hiccup?" Astrid said.


The Nightfury musted the best of his strength to continue to fly through the air. As it carried Hiccup, Elena and Skylar back to it's temple. In some instants, dropping downward for a moment, causing Skylar to be struck by the foliage. Skylar spit out the leaves in his mouth.

"Hey, keep it steady up there!" Skylar said, looking up at the Nightfury.

The Nightfury growled back down at him.

"Hey, I wouldn't taunt the Dragon that's currently keeping you from falling to your death." Hiccup advised the Jaquin.

Skylar glanced down to the jungle that was now far below him. A nervous gulp erupted from his throat.

"Point taken." He said.

A faint moan escaped through Elena's Lips. Hiccup glanced down at her, seeing her curled up in his embrace. She was out cold from using her scepter on those Creatures in the cavern. Hiccup held her close to him as she slept.

"Just hold on." He told her.

He then looked ahead, where he noticed the temple in the distance.


The Night fury flew into the temple as it came above it's nest, where it set down Skylar, who landed over his four paws. The dragon then set down in the nest next to him. Hiccup dismounted from the dragon's back and carried her to the edge of the nest. He then laid Elena down up against the steep edge, kneeling down next to her.

"She's out cold." Hiccup said, glancing back at Skylar.

Skylar came up next to her sister, narrowing his head down to her.

"She must have used the scepter too much. The more she uses it, the more exhausted she becomes." Skylar insisted to him.

"What do you mean it makes her exhausted?" Hiccup asked, curiously.

"It's said that that scepter can only be wield by someone of magic." Skylar insisted to him.

"Magic?" Hiccup asked.

Skylar nodded his head to him.

"Elena was born with the magic of a past Maruvian Princess long ago. So she was gifted that scepter by a wise Sun Bird, Quita Mos." Skylar insisted to him.

"He warned her about using it so much."

Hiccup squinted his eyes at the mention of Elena being a magical princess. He cocked his head to the side. The concept of magic had always been a fictious concept to him. He had never believed that it was real. At least, not until today, seeing Elena use he sceptor on those creatures.

Elena uttered a faint moan.

"Mama...?" She said.

Hiccup glanced down to her.

"Elena?" She asked, curiously,

Hiccup paused for a moment. Skylar came up to his sister, narrowing her head to her.

"Sis?" Skylar asked.

The Night Fury came up to him, cocking it's head, curiously. Giving a soft curious growl to them.

"Mama, is that you?" Elena asked, curiously.

Hiccup glanced back down to her. He then came down and sat down next to her.

"Uh... yeah, it's me..." Hiccup said, going along with it.

Elena turned to Hiccup, where she came to drape her arm over him. Laying her head over his chest, snuggling up to him as she moaned. Hiccup paused for a moment, glancing down at her in confusion.

"Uh... oh boy..." Hiccup murmured, unsure of what to do.

Elena pressed further against Hiccup, snuggling up to him for warmth.

"Mama..." she continued to mutter.

Like before, Hiccup went along with her desire. Uttering a sigh as he knew this was not appropriate. Especially to someone he had just met. But he could at least indulge her for her sake.

"Oh, god, I can't believe I'm do this." Hiccup said to himself.

Slowly, she lowered his arm and placed it over her, holding her close to him. Elena in turn snuggled up to him. The Nightfury sauntered up to the two. Seeing the way the two embraced each other, it reminded him of something. Something he had seen long ago in the ruins of this valley. He then cocked his head to the wall carving of Moldoff and his ancestor.

There was then a sudden grumbling sound from Skylar. Hiccup and the Night Fury glanced to him, curiously.

"Sorry, I'm a bit hungry." He insisted to him.

The Night Fury smiled in excitement before turning and flying off. Much to the confusion of Skylar and Hiccup.


Migs, Nico and Luna continued to scout the valley in search of Elena and Skylar. They scanned the jungle below but still saw no sign of them.

"You guys see them?" Nico called to them.

Luna shook her head.

"Nothing on my end." She called to him.

"They must be somewhere further in the valley." Migs insisted to them.

"Then what are we waiting for? Lets go!" Nico proclaimed as he flew ahead.

"Nico, wait!" Migs called out before flying after him.
