*Toothless pov*

Everything was dark and cold as i layed on something, drifting in and out of consciousness before finally, groggily, opening my eyes... Everything was still pretty dark but as my eyes adjusted, I spotted several other dragons. We were all being kept in a large cage built into the side of an arena. Lifting my head up, I felt a light weight on my side shift. Looking at it, I spotted Hiccup's unconscious form leaning against my side, his normal leg bound to the wall with a heavy metal chain, but other than that he didn't look hurt. Letting out a relieved sigh, I noticed an irritatingly familiar pressure wrapping around my head, just out of view along with another weight on my ankle.

Toothless : "tey mussld e... gret......"

Just as I was about to attempt to get my muzzle off with my paws, Hiccup shot up from his slumber, eyes wide and breathing hard as he looked around quickly.

Hiccup : "Toothless!"

Letting out a small roar to get his attention, Hiccup relaxed as he patted my head and stood up.

Hiccup : "there you are bud."

I let out a trill of happiness as I glanced at the restraint around my leg while Hiccup attempted to remove his to little effect.

Hiccup : "where are we?"

Toothless : "hatss wha i wann now."

As Hiccup walked around the cell, the sounds of a dragon screaming caught my attention. Looking through the cell grate, I spotted a speed stinger suddenly get smacked by three tails that wound around one another. For a moment I thought about the little injured speed stinger we had saved a while ago and a tinge of sadness ran through me before I felt... im not entirely sure... but it was like a raging fire without any heat lean up against the other side of the wall.

??? : "intoxicating, isn't it? The sounds of battle, the slaughter, the hunt."

As the low voice rumbled through the air, my eyes widened in surprise and shock for a moment as I looked for the voice's source.

Toothless : "wo- wher r u?"

??? : "I'm in another cage next to you, and as for who I am? That will come in due time. IF you live long enough that is, hmhmhm."

Toothless : "wher r ee?"

??? : "a human entertainment center, an arena if you will, where dragons and monsters of all shapes and sizes fight to the death for the satisfaction of those parasites."

Toothless : "o noo..."

??? : "HA, oh that reaction is the same many before you had when they discovered that fact. But do not fear little dragon~ from what i can tell, you have a fair bit of bio-energy, you should be rather... entertaining to watch."

Using my paws, I managed to wiggle out of the muzzle as it landed on the ground with a soft thump.

Toothless : "I don't like how you said that..."

??? : "no? Oh well, I suppose it doesn't matter. it's not as if you can escape this place."

Before I could say anything else, I heard whoever I was talking to get up and walk away from the wall while chuckling, making a sense of dread well up within me as I heard a metal door creak open followed by two sets of footsteps. Turning my head, I spotted two dragon hunters walk in with spears making the other dragons rear up and roar at them before one of the hunters slammed his spear on the ground as sparks flew off of it and a loud clang echoed through the cage, instantly quelling their ferocity.
