A Viking Chief's twins

Music soothes the savage dragon

To say Hiccup did well in the next two games was not debatable. He was terrible because in the third game he could not even get past the first obstacle which was a jump over a pool filled with electric eels and the fourth one he got stuck in quicksand and Cole had to pull him out since the master of earth was the only one who could get to him without sinking himself.

When Hiccup showed up claiming to be Kai everyone was confused having been sure it was Kai who had fallen, but managed to convince almost everyone that it was Hiccup who had fallen. The only two who didn't believe that was Alvin and Dagger, but they did not care and was excited to see where this would go while Viggo was merely amused and chose to keep quiet so he could watch his enemy humiliate himself.

Right now Hiccup was cleaning himself off after his utter fail in the first two trials that resulted in giving the hunters the cloak that was meant to be the original offering and Dagger Jay's nunchucks. Dagger hated to rub insult to injury, but he apparently really liked them despite constantly injuring himself with them.

"This has turned out worse than we thought," Hiccup mutters. "I'm sure you'll win the next ones if you let us help," Jay said. "No we are not needing your ninja help we will do it the Viking way," Stoic snaps at Jay who flinches back taking comfort with his boyfriends.

The crowd quiets down as Icarus took his place for the fifth game. "Okay everyone! I am sure you are all excited to see what I have planned and here it is!" The snobby chief gestures behind everyone and they turned to see a large blanket pulled off a even larger came to reveal.

"SLITHERWINGS!" Fish-legs screams in terror and the entire crowd gasps in fright as they backed away from the cage housing six creatures that looked like ten to fifteen foot snakes red and black with wings the same size as their fangs. They made a hissing sound and drops of their venom flew out. The ones closest had shields to stop the venom from touching them.

"AND WE THOUGHT DAGGER WAS DERANGED, BUT YOU TAKE THE CAKE!" The chief of a tribe in purple attire yells at Icarus who smiles pleased with the reactions. Even Viggo seemed rather surprised and shocked with the sight of the snake like dragons.

"Alright calm down. My tribes game is that everyone must go through a maze and retrieve their tribal crest. Meanwhile at least twenty slither-wings shall be in the maze. Only one contestant at a time with a shield and one other item of their choice. And finally you may back out without getting the crest if you must or not at all," Icarus said happily.

Everyone looks at the slither-wings and a shiver of fear went through all the contestants. "Do you at least have a cure for their venom?" Valori asks. "Of course, but it must be purchased for a non negotiating price," Icarus said smugly and all the Vikings collectively groaned.

Jay snuck up behind and asked. "How deadly are slither wings?" Jay asks. "Deadly, they have venom coated all over their bodies and one drop of it will have you dead by nightfall. If even one slithering is found on a island the island is either abandoned or they hunt it used crossbows and archers, but they are fast so it's hard to hit them. At least they can't fly since the wings are mostly shown for dominance," Fish-legs explains.

The ninja looked at the snakes. "And Kai thought venomari venom was bad," Cole notes. "Well lucky for all of you we are experts of snakes and know exactly how to deal with them," Jay said happily. "And how's that?" Stoic asks rather rude. "Well Ninjago had a snake problem years ago and snakes are heavily immersed in our culture. Slither wings are basically large snakes for us and we know how to deal with them," Zane said with a happy smile.

"How do you deal with them?" Hiccup asks. "Music!" Jay said spreading his arms wide for emphasis. The Vikings look at him waiting for him to say the real answer. When he doesn't elaborate they realize he was serious.
