Chapter 111

Gothi's hut

Just after Hiccup disappeared

Nobodies POV:

Everyone in the hut stared at the spot where Hiccup once was before chaos broke out among the adults and dragon in the hut all running around like chickens that just lost their heads. It was then Gothi slammed the bottom of her staff to the ground gaining their attention before she began scribbling on the ground which translated to 'I know what just happened is bizarre but panicking isn't helping.'. Everyone calmed down slightly at this before Stoick asked.

"What sort of fox was that?" Gobber replied.

"I don't know Stoick but I'm willing to bet it had something to do with that demon." Stoick stroked his beard in thought.

"You might have a point Gobber but what did that fox do with him?" Valka then said.

"And will it bring him back safely."

"I don't know Valka." He looked down and shook his head. "I just don't know." Gobber then said.

"Oh, would you lot get a grip." They all turned to face him. "This is Hiccup we're talking about, the same lad who goes up against giants, the undead, demigods, actual gods, titans, mad men, mystics and a whole lot of other bizarre things and often comes back without even a scratch aside from some damage to his armor." Gobber took a breath. "We've just got to have a little faith in the lad after all" Gobber smiled. "he is the son of the two most stubborn people this island has ever known so no doubt he'll be way too stubborn to die and even if he does he'll come back from Valhalla." He chuckled. "He already did that once remember." Stoick replied.

"It won't stop us from worrying Gobber." He sighed. "You wouldn't understand what it's like to lose your own son." Gobber glared at Stoick and growled.

"What do you mean by that?" Valka opened her mouth to reply but Gobber cut her off. "Now you both listen and listen well for once in your miserable lives." They were both stunned never seeing this side of Gobber and knew it was not a side they wanted to mess with. "I know more about that boy then you two combined since I practically raised that lad meself." Stoick opened his mouth to reply but Gobber cut him off. "While you two were off either doing your chiefly duties or saving dragons the lad was handed over to me to be taken care of." They both looked down at this. "I took him under me wing from day one and from then on when he had a problem he came to me and unlike you two I actually took the time to try and solve it." Stoick then let out a sigh.

"Alright, we get it Gobber, we weren't the best parents to him but could you please get to the point."

"The lad won't go down easily and if he does go down he'll get back up no matter what so all we can do is have faith in him and wait." They both sighed and nodded before they all left the hut to inform the village of what happened while Toothless took off to inform the other residents of Hiccups island of what happened.

Japan

Hiccups POV:

Darkness, that was all I could see as I thought about the last thing that happened before darkness engulfed my vision. I had just made it to the top of the mountain peek after being thrown off by a warrior in black armor and then jumped onto said warriors back when he was about to bring his swords down on the elderly man before pulling him over the ledge of the mountain top. I'm sure this time I didn't make it out alive since there's no way anyone could survive such a fall. It was then there was bright flash and I opened up my eyes and found myself standing in the middle of a grassy field. I looked around and saw nothing but grass for miles before I saw two things flying towards me in the distance. I didn't know what they were until they were flying above me to reveal some sort of large dragon with a twenty feet long body with some type of armor on its chest that took the shape of flames and on his shoulders, his scales were crimson red with golden trim horns and whiskers, a spiky trill climbing from the back of his skull and down the tip of his tail that looked like a spear head. The other form was a large bird that was twelve feet in height, seventeen feet in wingspan with ten feet long tail feathers, and a curved horn on his forehead pointing towards his beak, his feathers were green that lead to blue color of the trim with his tail feathers having a golden trim and a design of whirlwinds while his wings had lightning patterns on them. They both circled above me twelve times before they stopped and landed in front of me. They both stared down at me before they bowed as the dragon said.

"You have freed us from the enslavement of our former master and for that we shall be eternally indebted to you." The Phoenix then said.

"You have earned our loyalty and control of our power but we pray that you do not fall to the same darkness as our former master did." The dragon then said.

"I am the dragon of the eternal flame Pirus, Master."

"And I am the phoenix of the shredding wings Ventus, Master." Then they both said.

"We shall do our best to serve you well in battle."

When they finished saying that they flew into the air with Pirus engulfing himself in a ball of crimson flames with black tints while Ventus was engulfed in a green tinted tornado like ball with lightning coming out of it. Once the balls burst the magnificent beasts that were engulfed in the balls were no longer there and instead were the same swords the warrior wielded right. I walked up to examine them they flew towards me and impaled themselves in the ground right in front of me before there was a bright flash and I found myself looking at a wooden ceiling. I didn't get to think about this for long before immense pain shot through my body making me shut my eyes and clench my fists and teeth in pain as I groaned. It was then a voice next to me said.

"You shouldn't move around too much; your body is still recovering from the fall." I turned to see the elderly man kneeling down next to me.

"What happened?"

"You pulled the dark samurai over the edge with you but while he went completely over you landed on a ledge knocking you out."

"But how did I get here and where is here?"

"You are in my homes guestroom and as to how you got here, I carried you here and tended to your wounds."

"Not that I'm ungrateful but you told me you were neutral."

"That changed when Akuhei's forces were sent after me with the intent to kill me and take command of my forge."

"But why do they want command of your forge so bad since I'm sure they could make their own forges." He sighed.

"The dragon's forge is a mystic forge that produces only the most powerful magic weapons such as the blades the warrior used on us."

"You knew that warrior?" The elder let out a sad nod.

"Back before he was drawn to the darkness by a thirst for power that made it possible for Akuhei to corrupt him." The elder let a tear run down his eye. "It breaks my heart to see such potential corrupted and turned into such a horrible thing." I nodded.

"I've seen that happen in a few of my travels." I shook my head. "People who were once good and had bright futures only to be corrupted by their own desire for wealth and power which lead to their demise." He nodded.

"A truly sad tale that repeats itself around the world." He then looked me in the eye. "Hiccup I can see something weighs heavily on your mind, would you mind sharing it with me?"

"Well I just had the strangest dream about a dragon of some kind and a phoenix." The elder nodded.

"Pirus and Ventus."

"How do you know their names?"

"That was no dream my young guest but a vision." He gestured to the wall across from me and I saw the blades the warrior had resting against it. "When I came to collect your body, I found them stabbed in the ground next to you which showed they were now bonded to you as if they were still bonded to the samurai then they would've returned to the forge." I nodded. "I can see something still weighs heavy on your mind."

"It's just that Akuhei was not only able to get onto my island when it was cloaked but steal my god made weapons." I stared up at the ceiling. "I was told my island couldn't be found by anyone except me and my dragons and that my weapons couldn't be wielded by anyone but me with the blessings of the gods who gave them to me." The elder looked down as he stroked his beard.

"Before Akuhei was a demon king he was a mortal sorcerer who traveled to many lands and studied many dark rituals to harness the power and knowledge of the dark gods so it's not surprising that he'd find a way around the protections of the gods." I nodded in understanding.

"That is a possibility."

"Something to consider another day for now you need to rest in order for your body to fully recover."

"But I need to stop Akuhei."

"And you won't be able to do so in your current condition." He pushed me back down. "Rest for now and by morning you shall be able to leave." Before I could reply to that he walked out as I stared at the ceiling knowing he was right and let out a sigh as I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

Morning the next day

It's been four hours since the elder allowed me to leave the bed and, in that time, not much has happened other than both of us enjoying a quiet breakfast, me taking a bath in the hot spring in the mountain, the elder supplying me with a black robe known as a kimono with a red symbol of a dragon on the back to wear and telling me of the dragons' forge. Along with that Pirus and Ventus were now fully bonded to me and I finally got the chance to take a proper look at the both of them. Their blades were curved and made from black metal and silver with small holes in the top edges, (AN: google Japanese dual swords Kyouraku for the blades shapes and colours.) with golden carvings of fire on Pirus and wind on Ventus just above the handles which were the only differences in the blades besides the handles with Pirus's handle having a dragon head and Ventus a phoenix head. When I first took them, the handles cut the palms of my hands spilling my blood on them and giving a glow before my mind flooded with knowledge on their abilities and it was very impressive. Pirus could ignite the blade with flames that were so hot when striking another opponents metal weapon, it could melt through it or let out a fiery blast that turns its target into ashes in seconds. Ventus on the other hand was able to control the wind by sending out a powerful blast that could either throw a something back or make the wind sharp as a blade to the point it could cut through metal. Apart they are strong but together they could level a large town and to bring them together I just had to slam the pommels together and they'd connect before the handles extend into a pole and the blades shorten turning the swords into a double ended bladed spear. This spear was a powerful weapon and when I held it in the air and spun it the blades would glow as they formed a flaming tornado around me that would pull those near in and incinerate them. Both swords were sheathed on my back forming an X with their handles above my shoulders.

All of this brings us to where we are now which is standing in front of the elder in a circular chamber with large stone pillars holding up the wall and on them were statues of dragons blowing out flames that lighted the chamber, in between each banner was a golden silk banner with an image of a red dragon on it like the one on the back of the kimono I was wearing and there was a sunken area with a dirt floor in the center that took up most of the room. Me and the elder were standing in the center of the sunken area with the elder smiling at me as he said.

"If you intend to take on Akuhei you will need help from strong weapons." I gestured to my swords.

"Aren't Pirus and Ventus enough?" He nodded.

"Powerful they are but they were made for another and shall never compare to a weapon made for you." He then turned to the sunken area and swung his arm down releasing chains with blades at the end and impaling the blades into the ground before pulling them back as a large stone dragon muzzle rose up with claws on either side of its head as the mouth opened up revealing a roaring fire inside. "The dragons forge flames have burned for over five hundred years when the first dragon of Japan ignited it and the most powerful sorcerer Japans ever known blessed it with his power." The elder gestured to the flames. "Enter the flames my friend and you shall find a weapon worthy of you."

I took a breath and walked into the flames right before the muzzle dropped onto me filling my vision with flames before the muzzle lifted and a force pushed me out of the flames. I slowly walked out of the flames feeling a little dizzy as I looked at the elder who was staring at me in astonishment. Before I could ask him what he was looking at though I realized my right side felt as if something was on it and turned to see a new prosthetic arm on it but this one was nothing like my original. This one looked like a dragon's claw with five fingers, red scales, a glowing blue crack going down the top with it branching out which reached the shoulder and down to a star shape on top of the hand and glowing blue claws. (AN: Look up 'Devil may cry 4 Devil bringer' and picture that.) I turned the hand around to examine it as the claws shrunk down forming normal finger shapes and I knew the claws were going to be powerful if the power I felt pulsing through the prosthetic was anything to go by. I was brought out of my thoughts by the elder saying.

"The dragons claw!"

"Excuse me?"

"The forge has gifted you with one of the most powerful weapons it can create." I looked down at the prosthetic in surprise.

"What makes it so powerful?"

"The form it has now is its infancy form."

"It's infancy form?"

"Yes, and with every victory it shall absorb the beast's energy enhancing its own strength and helping it mature and enhance its own abilities giving it new abilities in some cases."

"What do you mean?"

"Depending on the stage it's in when you defeat a beast you may gain abilities that belonged to the beast."

"But how would I know when it gains a new ability?"

"When it happens, you shall know as you shall gain three things with it."

"And what those three things be?"

"One you shall know what the ability you have gained is, two you shall gain the knowledge of how to wield and three" He smiled. "You shall also have a major headache due to the new knowledge filling your head."

"When will it stop absorbing their energy though?"

"It shall stop when it has fully matured and cannot store or absorb any more power but that is a long way away but as it matures it shall also develop new abilities on its own."

"Like what?"

"I cannot say as this is the first time the 'Dragons Claw' has been gifted to a wielder."

"Then how would you know of its capabilities?"

"Now there lies a story that is old as the forge itself." He took a breath. "For centuries the dragon forge has created some of the most powerful weapons the world has ever known and throughout that time the blacksmith who watches over it is gifted with the knowledge of what weapons it holds in its flames." He stared at me. "All this time it is the duty of the blacksmith to dispense these weapons to the worthy for upcoming trials they must face on their journeys and when they have completed their journeys the weapons are returned to the forge awaiting the time they shall be called from the flames to aid the worthy were in need once again." I nodded.

"Did Pirus and Ventus come from the forge?" He nodded.

"They did but Akhei used his dark magic to bind them to the dark samurai warrior who wielded them and prevented them from returning to their place in the flames but now they have been freed and bonded to you." He shook his head. "This bond you now share with them is not one that can easily be broken for now they shall remain with you till the end of your journey through these lands." He then looked up as if remembering something before turning back to me. "Few have wielded them in the past but I have faith that you shall wield them properly and not fall into the same darkness as their former wielder."

"I won't!" He smiled before his expression turned serious.

"As for the 'Dragons Claw' it is one of the forges most powerful weapons so do not take it lightly as I have said before this is the first time it has materialized and there is no telling of the power you have yet to unlock."

I stared down at the prosthetic knowing it was far more powerful than I originally thought and looked back up to the elder and I could tell he was being honest about the power. Knowing what it could do I knew that I couldn't take it lightly before I wanted to ask more about the prosthetic but before I could a rumbling sound from above caught our attention. We made our way out of the forge and through the house as the elder explained that the rumbling was his alarm system to let him know when trouble had come. When we ran out of the house we found what looked to be a giant spider glaring at us as we made our way out of the house. I quickly took out Pirus and Ventus before the spider stared at the blades and let out a roar while saying.

"Those are my masters swords." I knew it was referring to the warrior. "You killed him and you shall pay with your lives."

With that it charged at us but we quickly dived out of the way as I swung Ventus at his legs sending a cutting wind towards them that succeeded in severing the lower parts of all of them on the right side making the spider fall to the side. I figured I could take it down easily now only to be shocked when the legs grew back fast as if they were never there. I didn't get that much time to think about it though as the spider raised its body up pointing its lower end up between its legs. It then let loose a single thin strand of web from its lower end towards me but I dodged out of the way so the web wrapped a rock behind me as the spider stuck the other end to the ground. I used this short moment to slam Pirus into the ground sending a fiery blast at the spider but it jumped out of the way as it let out another strand of webbing. This continued for a minute before I realized something about the way the spider was releasing its webbing and that was how it always drove me back to the side I dodged from. When I looked around I realized why as the webbing had formed a fence on either side of me and when I touched it I realized it was hard and sharp like some sort of wire. The spider had trapped me in a fenced in area so I'd have a harder time dodging its strike which I had to admit was a clever move. I turned back to the spider as it said.

"Should you try to run through my webs you shall be no more as they are sharp as a blade." I held up my swords.

"My blades are pretty sharp as well so you should also watch out." The spider let out another roar.

"Those swords are my masters and you have no right to wield them as you disgrace them with your touch."

The spider then let out another roar that was louder than the last and forced me to shut my eyes in pain for a few seconds but when I opened them up I saw the spider had used the opportunity to launch two strands of webbing towards my blades. The strands had wrapped around them tightly and before I could react the spider pulled the swords right out of my grasp. Pirus and Ventus swords flew over the spider and stabbed into the ground where I couldn't get to them. The spider glared at me and said.

"Let's see how long you last without your stolen weapons to help fight me you, you unworthy fool."

"It was your master who was unworthy of those weapons when he let his heart be corrupted by greed and darkness."

"I shall feast on your flesh and drink the blood from your skull for that insult." It then pounced at me ready to sink its fangs into me but I ran towards it and dropped to the ground sliding beneath it to try and get to my swords but I was cut off by another fence of webbing. "I built that when I was first making the web so there's no escape from me." Before I could reply the elder yelled out.

"HICCUP USE THE DRAGONS CLAW TO DEFEAT THE BEAST!"

I looked down at the arm and felt like slapping myself for forgetting about it when it was literally stuck to my stomp. I didn't get the chance though since the spider used my guard being let down as an opportunity to pounce towards me and succeeded in pinning me to the ground. The spider tried to sink its fangs into my neck but before they could sink in I grabbed onto them stopping them from touching me. I then got my feet beneath the spider facing its body and used them to push the spider off me and throw it back into the webbing. The spider stood back up as it laughed and said.

"My own webbing cannot harm me you fool."

I just readied my prosthetic as the spider leaped at me but I ran at it and dived below and watched as the spider continued to go flying above me. When I'd fully passed it I quickly stood up just as the spider landed on the ground but before it could turn around I ran at it from behind it and jumped right onto the back of the spider's web sack. The spider let out a roar and raised the part I was on and began shaking it around trying to get me off but I held on tightly as I slowly crawled down the part I was on towards the head. When I reached the point where I was just behind the spiders' head and raised my claws sticking my fingers together to turn the claws into a makeshift dagger right before I stabbed it right into the neck of the spider making it screech in pain. My prosthetic glowed brightly as it shook rapidly before I felt power surge through it and into me. It was then the spider turned to dust beneath me making me fall to the ground as my prosthetic stopped shaking. I slowly stood up while staring at my prosthetic before the sound of clapping caught my attention and when I looked up I found the elder was the one clapping as he said.

"Most impressive Hiccup, not that many people can go up against a Tsuchigumo and live to tell the tale."

"That's what that thing was?" The elder nodded but before I could question him more my prosthetic began glowing again before threads shot out of the fingers flowing out as if they were in wind before pulling back into the fingers as knowledge on how to use them filled my mind and then just like that ended leaving me with a large headache making me groan as I asked. "What in the name of Odin's spear was that?" The elder chuckled.

"I told you, the 'Dragons Claw' takes in power from monsters and in some cases depending on the stage the 'Dragons Claw' is in once you defeat a beast you may absorb abilities that belonged to the beast and gain the knowledge of how to use such abilities along with a large headache from the new knowledge." I just glared at him.

"Glad to see you find my pain so amusing."

"Forgive an old man's amusement Hiccup but I don't get that much amusement up here as the life I have chosen to live is a lonely one but one I enjoy and am honored to have." I nodded in understanding. "Now Hiccup would do this old man the honor of seeing what your new ability is?" I smiled at him.

"I'm going to need some targets." He smiled and tapped his foot against the ground three times before three wooden logs rose from the ground.

"Your targets my boy."

Smiled at them before looking down at my prosthetic arm knowing how to use my new ability and held my prosthetic hand as I willed the thread out of the fingertips before I brought my hand down. The threads flowed down with it as I moved my arm, hand and fingers to manipulate the way the threads flowed and made them wrap around one of the logs. I then quickly willed the wires to return to my arm tightening around the log but instead of tying it up the wires sliced right through it cutting it up cleanly. I then used them to wrap around the two remaining logs forming a fence like the one the Tsuchigumoused to cut me off before I severed the ends attached to my hand that then wrapped around the logs forming five extra threads on the fence. I knew with this ability I'd either be able to make a lethal trap for flying enemies or a cage to hold prisoners like the one the Tsuchigumo used to trap me. I stared at the wires and knew these wires weren't for playing but for capturing enemies and killing them if necessary. I turned to the elder who was examining the fence I'd made while nodding as he said.

"Definitely useful in the right hands." He turned to face me. "I hope you will use this ability wisely young Hiccup." I nodded.

"You can count on it." He smiled.

"I know young Hiccup but now it is time we part ways for you must continue on your journey to reclaim what was taken from you." I nodded. "Before you go I have a few things for you to take with you, please wait here while I retrieve them." He then walked back into the house leaving me to examine the fence I'd made and tossed one of the pieces of log from the one I cut up and watched as it was sliced up by the fence before the elder came back out of the house holding a small box that was wrapped up in cloth and a canteen. "I put together a boxed lunch for you to enjoy on your travels and a canteen of water to quench your thirst." I smiled at him as I took the lunch and nodded.

"Thank you for the lunch, the 'Dragons Claw' and everything you've done for me."

"It is the least I could do after you were willing to lose your own life to save mine, now it is time for you to head out on your journey and may the gods watch over you." I nodded before I turned and made my way down the steps leading down the mountain.

Back up at the peek

Nobodies POV:

The elderly blacksmith smiled sadly as he watched Hiccup eventually disappear out of sight before he let out a sigh and looked down as he said.

"May the gods watch over you my young friend." He then looked up as a gentle breeze past him. "I admit I had my doubts about that boy but you were right he is strong, he'd have to be to wield the 'Dragons Claw'." He then turned to face the one he was speaking to who was actually the fox who lead Hiccup up the mountain who was now sitting on a boulder. "Do you truly think he can defeat Akuhei and his minions." The fox nodded.

"He has endured a great deal of hardships in his life and has defeated many a beast and with each victory he has only come out stronger than before." The fox turned to the look at the view. "I just hope that he is now strong enough to defeat Akuhei for should he fail then all hope of peace and freedom is lost to us."

"All we can do now is try to guide him down the right path but how shall he be able to find Akuhei?"

"I left him something for him at the bottom of the mountain to lead him to Akuhei's hidden fortress along with a satchel of gold to aid him in his travels."

"Let's just hope our faith in the boy is not misplaced."

One hour later

Hiccups POV:

I had finally reached the bottom of the mountain which was a lot easier then climbing up the mountain thankfully especially since the canteen of water helped quench my thirst. When I reached the bottom of the mountain I saw a small paper lantern letting a green glow with large bag and a scroll with my name written on it in front of it with all of them sitting on a rock. I walked over to them and took the scroll before opening it up finding a message which read.

Dear Hiccup Haddock

I congratulate you on your latest victories against two of Akuhei's forces but I must warn you that this is only the beginning for as soon as Akuhei gets word that you are in these lands he shall no doubt send members of his army to exterminate you. On this journey you shall take I highly advise you to be cautious of any strangers you encounter for they may be yokai working for Akhei. Along with this should you defeat them I ask that you keep in mind that some of them were given powerful tools by their master and once you've defeated them you should claim these items as your own for they may prove useful to you on your travels. For now, though I leave you these gifts to help you on your travels, a satchel of gold to pay for anything you desire when you pass through market places and in the lantern, you shall find a Chochinbi which is a species as a yokai known to light paths show when other yokai are near. This one however has been trained to guide you to Akuhei's fortress and to help you sense when yokai are near and in order to release it just open the lantern and it shall flow into your arm allowing you to summon a small flame that shall glow brighter when pointed in the direction of Akhuhei. I wish you luck on this journey of yours Hiccup Haddock.

Till next we meet

The Fox

As soon as I finished reading the final words the scroll burst into flames leaving nothing but ash that flew away in the wind. I stared down at the items left to me I did as the lantern continued to glow with the Chochinbi supposedly waiting inside it. I shrugged and knew that this could be a trap but the fox had yet to do anything to trick me yet so I reached out and opened up the lantern before a small green ball of fire flew out and then quickly flew into my prosthetic arm making the light blue crack glow the same green for a moment before returning to its regular color. It was then a small amount of wisdom flowed into my mind on how to summon the Chochinbi and knew that it was going to help me on my travels. Without hesitation I raised my palm and released the Chochinbi that floated in the palm of my prosthetic hand before I moved my hand around and watched as the flame got brighter as I pointed it in one direction. I knew this meant Akuhei was down that way and that this was beginning of one of my greatest adventures so without hesitation I pulled the flame back into my hand before picking up the bag of gold and putting it in one of the pockets sowed onto the inside of the kimono I was wearing and began my long walk.

Akuhei's fortress

Nobodies POV:

Akuhei was once again in the throne room of his palace, sitting on his throne while smiling as he waited for news of the dragon forge falling under his control. As he waited he thought back to what was happening in a heavily guarded room that only he or his mystics could access and it was these thoughts that made him smile. In that room lay the weapons that were forged by the gods of different lands that were given to Hiccup Haddock for his heroic deeds along with the prosthetic that contained one of the most powerful sets of armor the world has ever known along with the golden wings forged by the Greek god of the forge. Each of these items were set down on jade pedestals that had been set up in a circle with the prosthetic and wings in the middle. The room they were in was bathed in crimson red light from the paper lanterns floating in circles above the ground, mist seemed to leak out from beneath the walls, the floor looked to be made of water and in front of each of these pedestals holding the god made weapons was a demon sorcerer in human form wearing the same robes as the elder who informed Akuhei of Hiccups location. These sorcerers were in the process of corrupting these magical weapons so they would answer to their master Akuhei who would then use them against those who forged them. Back in the throne room Akuhei was brought out of his thoughts by the entrance of the same sorcerer who informed him of Hiccups location. Akuhei looked at the elder smiling as the elder bowed before he said.

"I trust you bring news of the warrior I sent to claim the dragons forge."

"Yes, my lord but I am sad to say that not only did the warrior you sent fail to gain control of the forge but both he and his Tsuchigumo mount have both been killed while Pirus and Ventus have been freed from your control." Hearing this Akuhei slammed his hands onto the arms of his throne and stood up yelling.

"WHAT!?"

"My apologies my lord but when your warrior went to gain control of the forge another warrior was with him and the blacksmith refused to join you your warrior tried to end him but the other warrior stopped him and pulled both your warrior and himself over the side of the mountain." The elder took a breath. "The warrior however survived by landing on an edge with both Pirus and Ventus before the blacksmith took him and tended to his wounds before allowing him the use of the 'Dragons Forge' which gifted him with what is believed to be one of the forges most powerful weapons that he then used to slay the Tsuchigumo."

"Who is this warrior who slayed my minions?"

"I believe it was the same Norsemen that the weapons you took once belonged to my lord." Akuhei raised an eyebrow.

"Hiccup Haddock?" The elder nodded.

"But how did he get here so quickly?"

"I believe it was the elder fox spirit who brought him here my lord." Akuhei clenched his fists.

"That mutt has been a thorn in my side for centuries and when I rule she shall be the first to die."

"What would you like done to the young Norseman my lord?"

"I shall send out my most elite assassins to deal with him as he shall not be defeated easily but for now I shall wait for the right moment to strike." He sat back down on his throne. "Leave me now to plan my next move."

"As you command sire." The elder then left the room leaving Akuhei alone with his thoughts.

"Well played fox but know that the one you have brought to defeat me shall not survive the journey to my lair." A dark grinned formed on his face. "Prepare yourself young Hiccup for those I send to deal with you are not to be taken lightly and shall end your life without the least bit of hesitation and I shall enjoy holding your skull up to face your village of Berk as it burns along with your island." He then let out a laugh that echoed throughout the throne room above the crackling of the fires.

AN: Hey all I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and for those of you who are concerned about what Hiccups going to do with his new prosthetic when he gets his old one back, don't worry I have something planned for that. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and I shall get more reviews this time since they actually bring me a little joy during the lock down that has been extended to the end of April so please review kindly. Also, this lockdown shows how bad the Corona virus has gotten so we all should try to do our part and send donations in whether they be money, food, masks, etc. Everything no matter how little helps us get closer to conquering the virus and stopping the casualties. Till then stay healthy and try to help out where you can.
