The days blurred into the next. Winter turned into the Spring and the waters around the mountain thawed. Creating the heavy, thick fog that protected the island from being seen. Hiccup and Toothless were out flying. Looking at the only thing that kept the entire world out.

"It's crazy to think that no one has figured out how to get through that. In all the years that Vikings have known this place existed, they've tried to get through. Even though I've been through there multiple times with you I still don't know how you or any of the other dragons do it. Like it's some sort of instinct that I'll never be able to learn."

"You would be surprised that it isn't an instinct. When The Queen was alive and leading the dragons here, she would lead you through it. Young ones can be taught things very easily. So when she would call you, you would not only be told by her what way to go but it was also likely that you would follow someone else in. So you would follow the crowd. Or bad things would happen."

"What do you mean by that? Bad things?" Hiccup asked. Toothless sighed at his slip up.

"Listen Hiccup." Toothless' voice became very serious. No emotion at all. "I wasn't the first to try to betray The Queen. Before I met you there were others that tried and failed to what I have succeeded at. I'm not proud to say that I've been a part of some very sadistic shit. If those dragons were caught normally they would be torn apart and made examples. There was even one who could have gotten away. She was a Change Wing. Able to camouflage herself.

I don't know how she resisted The Queen's calls but I wish I was as head strong as she was. I didn't even try until you showed up." Hiccup pulled himself close to his dragon and laughed.

"You're welcome." They circled around the fog again.

"Anyway, she would hide in the fog and she would attack and kill dragons that would fly threw her area. After some time I was sent after her. It took me an embarrassingly long time to do the exact spot she would strike. When I figured it out, I baited her into attacking me. We had a short fight before I had a chance to tell her that I wasn't there to kill her. She calmed down but was still very tense.

I told her that I was sent to kill her but that I had no intention to. I asked her to leave the fog and get away from the island. I warned her that if I took too long that others would be sent and they wouldn't give her a chance like I did. It was very obvious that she didn't want to leave. I could sympathize with her. We all knew that what was happening was wrong. But we couldn't resist like her.

I asked her about it. She couldn't give me anything though. I wanted to run like she could. Be free. She took what I said and left. I wonder what happened to her ever since that day. I may sent scouts out to see if they can find her." Toothless began to think about where he'd send the scouts to look for her.

"Do you think they would find her? Do you think she'd still be alive?" Hiccup Pondered.

"She was tough. I'd be very surprised if she didn't make it. She's out there somewhere."

"We could head out towards where the Change Wings live. See if they've seen her. That would probably be a good lead for our scouts." Toothless agreed and changed their course. They landed in an area with high stone walls and jagged rocks. They began to move slowly through the passing.

"What are you doing here?" A snake like voice asked. Hiccup looked around for where the voice was coming from.

"Where here looking for someone." Hiccup responded.

"Who?"

"She was a Change Wing that used to serve under The Queen. We have information that would be useful to not only her but all of you." Toothless said.

"What information?"

"The Queen is dead!" Hiccup shouted. The hidden dragon showed himself and climbed down to them.

"Dead? Why should I trust what you say?" The Change Wing asked cautiously. Hiccup puffed out his chest.

"Because we lead the dragons there now." He said matter of factly.

"You lie." Hiccup shook his head.

"We killed her ourselves." The dragon gave them odd looks.

"I still don't believe you, but I'll bring you further in. You'll be able to talk to our alpha there. Hiccup and Toothless followed closely as they were brought through the treacherous landscape. They came into a clearing.

"Wow." Hiccup whispered as he looked down on the on the horde of different colored change wings. He watched a few smaller ones pounce on each other. Toothless placed his head on Hiccup's shoulder. He saw what he was looking at.

"Makes you wonder why the humans hate us doesn't it?" He hummed. Hiccup leaned his head against Toothless' and sighed.

"This way, you two." The dragon called to them. The small group went down a small winding path. Near the bottom the other Change Wings started to look at them.

"Will they attack us?" Hiccup worried.

"We've given them no reason to attack, other than coming into their territory."

"That's not reassuring Toothless."

"It'll be fine. Trust me." Dragons began to circle around them and poke their heads out. The group stopped and the Alpha showed his face.

"Why are you here, Night Fury? And who is that with you? They look like a human."

"We're here looking for one of your kind. A female who used to serve under The Queen. If she returned here it would have been a few summers ago. I know that isn't much to go on, I apologise." Toothless said.

"Why are you looking for her?" The alpha asked.

"She was an inspiration to me. I wanted to thank her, and ask her to come back to Helheim's Gate with us."

"If she is here, I will not send her back there. That 'Queen' of yours is a monster." The dragon who lead them, whispered in the alpha's ear. "Dead?" The dragon nodded then whispered again. "They're the alphas of that place now?" Again the dragon nodded. "How did The Queen die?"

"We killed her." Toothless said proudly.

"But from what I heard you were the most loyal to her cause. Her most used tool and weapon."

"I can't deny what you say. Her hold on me was great. Unbreakable. It was only when I met my mate that he could break me free. He showed me a new way to see the world. He's changed my view forever. I am forever in his debt." Hiccup gave him a sideways glance.

"You're so dramatic ." Hiccup laughed. Toothless nuzzled into Hiccup's hip.

"You love it."
