Flying between the two cliffs left us open to an expanse of trees that went from vibrant orange and yellow to black. Charred trees stood on the earth reaching desperately to the sky for a chance of water. Fog covered the ground the tops of hills peeking out as if to see what we were doing. We flew down low into the trees and the fog surrounded us. The smell of the sea overwhelmed my nostrils as we weave through sea stacks.

The cause of smoke was a large building splintered by ice; said ice sharper than any sword I have ever seen. It seems the ice's source was from the ocean but this was not a normal iceberg. The teal color unnatural to the eye as we hover staring at this iceberg.

"Woah." Hiccup mumbles.

"Hiccup this looks dangerous."

"Just stay close." He tells me and I roll my eyes staying next to him as we fly around.

My internal thoughts are confirmed seeing what looks like a small village diminished and the biggest dragon foot print I've ever seen. Stone towers stood but were completely void of people as we kept flying through and around the ice spikes.

"What happened here?" Hiccup asks more to himself.

"I still don't think we should be here," I tell him my voice slightly on the anxious side.

More towers and ships were pierced by the spikes held high into the air. Not a single body or live person spotted yet, bridges and huts were cradled by the massacre of ice clearly meant with the intent to kill. As we rounded a corner both of our dragons suddenly went on edge causing me to go on edge.

"It's okay bud." Hiccup tells Toothless trying to comfort him.

"Hiccup." I say pointing down as we approached an opening where a group of people stood.

"Fire!"

"(Y/n) look out!" Hiccup screams but the net comes from the cannon to fast for my mind to process. Whiplash using her tail quickly cuts the rope to nothing catching our fall by gliding during the last part. Of course this was short lived since as soon as we landed two nets encased my dragon and I.

Arms grab at my legs and arms pulling me off of Whiplash who's tail was being held down by three people. "What the fuck! Let me go!" I shout as Hiccup and Toothless land on the ground harshly. Hiccup unsheathes his inferno and while everyone is distracted I head butted the person behind me hearing a satisfying crack. Feeling my hips popping I manipulate my legs to kick upwards and knock out the man holding my legs. "Ow." I groan as my back harshly smacks against the wood and I stand facing the man who stood on my dragon like he owned the world.

"Back again?" The man asks and I noticed his hands holding onto my dragons nostrils. "Soil my britches; that is a Nightfury. Don't get me wrong this one is also rare." He smacks Whiplash's horn and I glare holes into his head. "But I thought they were all gone for good." The man laughs his disgusting ponytail swishing behind him. "Looks like our lucks had a turn for the better lads, don't think Drago has one of those in his dragon army." He says patting his comrades backs and pointing to an on edge Toothless.

"Pretty boy, just stop." I say holding my hand up to him and his blue eyes turn to me. I notice his eyes moving up and down my body his tongue licking his lips as he stops at my chest and I internally cringe. "No one cares that you're a lowlife who can't even get a whore, just give me my dragon back and we'll go." I tell him pulling my family sword from its sheath pointing it towards him.

"Look we don't want any trouble." Hiccup says clearly trying to diffuse the situation.

"I do." I mumble and Hiccup nudges my foot.

"Hah! You should've thought about that before you stole all of our dragons and blowing our fort to bits!" The man shouts pointing to the splintered buildings.

"Hold on you think we did this?!" Hiccup exclaimed in horror looking at the damage of the fort.

"Trapping dragons is hard enough as it is without do-gooder dragon riders sneaking in to rescue them." 

"What do-gooder," Hiccup begins to day before I cut him off.

"There are other dragon riders?" I ask in awe, maybe we could find them and try and help other dragons in situations like this.

"You mean other than your thieving friend from last night? You tell me." He points to Hiccup, "You may have an ice spitting dragon on your side, but we still have a quota to fill. How do you suppose we explain this mess to Drago Bloodvist?"

"Drago what fist? Does anything you say make sense?" Hiccup jokes but I keep my eye on Whiplash.

"He's expecting a new shipment of dragons, by tomorrow." A crew member speaks up his hunched back looking severely uncomfortable.

"And Drago don't take good to excuses." Another speaks his back hunched even more. We're they dropped as babies? What's going on?

"This is what he gave me last time I showed up empty handed." Greasy pony tail guy says pulling down the collar of his shirt. The brand looked like a bull the pink scarring looking fairly well healed.

"Mines better." I mumble and Hiccup has to keep himself from snorting.

"He promised to be far less understanding in the future." His accent making the less sound lower than normal. Kinda sexy I'm not even going to lie, it was then I noticed the three blue lines on his chins most likely war paint.

"All right look, we don't know anything about a dragon thief, or an ice spitting dragon, or your lunatic boss and his dragon army." I notice that while Hiccup was talking to him the man walked around nodding subtly but not subtly enough that I didn't notice. Toothless also took notice and sunk deeper to the ground. "Just give us back our dragon and we'll go. Strange hostile person whom we've never met." Hiccup said obviously trying to get his name.

"Ah, where are my manners?" The man asks sarcastically once again looking to my chest and I eye roll. "I am Eret, son of Eret."

"Damn, being a narcissist must run in the family." I say to him and he smiles.

"We like our women with a little bite." He winks and I feel myself blush lightly. Yes, I love Hiccup. But when a hot man is giving you the bed eyes you get kind of flustered.

Eret pulls his dagger out of its holster on his back and begins a small ramble about how he was the best dragon trapper alive. "After all," he begins and points to Toothless with the tip of his dagger; "it's not just anybody who can capture a Nightfury."

At the threat Toothless roars loudly barring his teeth to Eret son of Eret. "This is Toothless and he says we're going. Now." Hiccup tells him his voice dangerously low and I feel a sensation form low in my stomach.

"I don't think so. Rush em' lads!" Eret shouts and Toothless shoots the ice beam above them causing the men holding Whiplash's tail to let go.

Whiplash cuts down a wooden beam after the nets were cut to almost nothing and she ran to me. We immediately take off as I jump onto her saddle and I don't look back.

"You will never keep those dragons you hear me?! Drago is coming for them all!" Eret screams and I get a feeling that soon everything is going to go wrong.
