Hiccup, the Womanizer (A Httyd Fanfiction)

Chapter 32: Kassandra the Eagle Bearer

A/N: Kassandra from Assassin's Creed Odyssey has entered the story and she's who Hiccup is hooking up with in this chapter!

(Viking settlement)

The stench of seared flesh and blood filled the air as Robin continued to torture Zlobina's agents that had been planted within the settlement. However, despite having his Boneknapper, Merlin, burn the flesh of these men, having been beaten to a bloody pulp, and had body parts removed, they refused to give up the location of Zlobina and the considerable force of Dragon Hunters she brought to confront Hiccup and Toothless.

Panting heavily and tossing a pair of bloody pliers he had used to remove teeth to the ground, Robin paced back and forth as he let out a frustrated cry. These men were far more resilient than he had anticipated, and his patience was wearing dangerously thin. He wanted to kill them and wipe those smug grins off of their faces, but he knew that wouldn't do him any good, especially since they knew where Zlobina's camp was located.

"So you won't tell me where Alina is located. Fine, don't," Robin, who had a pair of chains wrapped around his right hand struck one of the more critically wounded spies in the belly, causing the man to cry out in pain, especially since there was a fresh burn mark from Merlin's fire. The Boneknapper was outside of the cell, yet his menacing eyes illuminated the dimly lit dungeon, watching his rider apply pain to his enemies. "We already have our Dragon Riders' Auxiliary scouting for Zlobina's camp thanks to Viggo's word on where he first met your boss." Robin then struck the second spy across the face with a ferocious right hook, sending blood, spittle, and a tooth flying out of the man's mouth. "In truth, your time here and on this earth is at an end, and when I have the chance to finally kill you both, I'm going to savor it."

Removing the bloodied chains wrapped around his right hand, he then circled the chained spies. "If you want your deaths to be quick and painless, tell me what I want to know, and I swear on my arm ring that I will end you quickly," Robin's voice dropped and he spoke cooly. "If you continue to waste my time? I will have Merlin burn you alive." The Boneknapper's mouth curved into what looked like a murderous grin and his maw opened slightly, causing fire to glow and cast ominous light in the dungeon.

One of the spies chuckled before shaking his head. "We will tell you nothing, boy," he then groaned in pain when Robin grabbed a handful of hair and yanked back. "Kill us. Just... spare us your chatter."

The other spy turned to Robin and spat at the boy's feet. "Yes. Kill us, so we don't have to listen to you talk anymore."

Releasing his hold on the spy's hair, Robin scoffed softly at the spy's words. "You two are no warriors. You are not even fighters. You are Dragon Hunters," he spat out in disgust before drawing his sword and examining the keen edge. "You are not brave, you only display the poor mask of bravery, believing your defiance means something. Well, I hate to tell you this, but it means nothing." He then ran one of the spies through with his sword, causing the man he killed to cry out in agony and let out dying gurgles. The other spy watched in horror as his friend was run though and he could feel his stomach grip as Robin gave him a stone-cold glare.

Withdrawing his now-soaked blade from the now-dead spy, Robin turned to the last spy and pointed the bloodied blade at his face. "You will die one way or another, you can't escape that inevitability," he then drove his blade through the man's right thigh, causing him to cry out and let out labored whimpers. "Like I said before, tell me what I want to know, and I will end you quickly. If not, I will make your end excruciating." Twisting his blade in his victim's thigh, Robin waited for the cries of anguish to cease before bearing his teeth. "Tell me where Alina Grimborn is. NOW!"

The sound of footsteps caused Robin and Merlin to see who was approaching, it was Gustav Larson, leader of the Dragon Riders' Auxiliary. After giving Merlin a pat on the head and entering the cell, Gustav gave Robin a nod in greetings before speaking. "The Auxiliary Riders and I just returned from our night scout and we found Zlobina's camp," turning to face Gustav fully, Robin beckoned him to continue. "It seems Zlobina is accompanied by the traitor, Savage, and his faction of criminals and outlaws. They've been slowly breaking campsites and have been slowly but surely encroaching at the doors of this settlement. Their new camp is an hour-long flight from here."
