The Moon's Light ➶ Rise of the Brave Tangled Frozen Dragons [ON HOLD!!]

Chapter 8

~Hiccup's POV~

I rode on Toothless's back as he flies through the snowy night. The cooling breeze brushes pass me, sending a chill down my body. Flying with Toothless was something I lived for. I don't know what I would be doing if I didn't have Toothless. What would I be doing if I didn't have my dragon? Most importantly, what would I be doing if I wasn't Guardian of Autumn? I shake my head, getting rid of the thoughts in my head, and look down at the town as it lights up through the night sky.

"Don't you just love this, Toothless? Flying through the sky during the night," I ask him.

He merely groans in response.

I look up at the moon and give my salute to Manny. Even though he couldn't do it back, I still thought it was appropriate to give my respects to him. I mean, if it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't be the person I am today. Suddenly, Toothless jerks and whines, grabbing my attention. I tighten my hold on him, praying I wouldn't fall.

"What's wrong, Toothless?" He maneuvers himself to lower level. I look towards the ground below us but find nothing. "I don't see anything." He continued to persist, assuring me that there was something worth finding.

Then, I finally see what he wanted me to look at all along. "Is that Luna?" I was able to make out her figure through the dense forest. But before Toothless and I could make our way over to Luna, we quickly realize she wasn't alone. A tall, and should I say dark, figure stood by her. "Oh no, it's Pitch. C'mon Toothless we have to go get help."

I tug at Toothless's rein, ushering him to turn the other way, but he protests at first. After some convincing, Toothless and I make out way through the sky in order to reach the others. I wish I could've stayed behind to help Luna, but I know I couldn't confront Pitch alone. Who knows what he had under his sleeves.

~Time Skip~

By sheer luck, Toothless and I make it to North's Workshop in record time. After landing in our appropriate landing position, I guide Toothless through the large doors, the entrance to the building. After we pass a few corners and climb the stairs, we notice everyone lounging around at base. Rapunzel and Anna were busy brushing through all of Rapunzel's long golden hair (Which, in my opinion, probably took them the last hour or two to untangled, depending if she was doing tennis practice). Kristoff and Flynn were too busy playing video games to notice that I returned. Jack was gathered with the other guardians. Elsa was merely playing around with her powers, freezing any object that was near her. And, Merida was doing (big surprise) archery, but even though she was the most focused on her work, she was the first to notice that Toothless and I returned.

"Hey, Hiccup. That was a quick trip," she says.

"It was suppose to take longer, but we were interrupted. Look, I have to talk with you and everyone else." I walk alongside her as we meet up with everyone else.

"What's this about?"

"Toothless and I saw Pitch," I yell out in order to gain everyone's attention. With that, everything grew silent.

"What?" Merida, Flynn, and North say in sync.

"It's not the worst part. He was near Luna. I don't know what was going on, but it didn't look good."

"Why didn't you fight him, then?!" Jack says. He looks straight into my eyes; his glare sending daggers right for me. If looks could kill, I would drop dead at that very moment.

"As much as I wanted to, I possibly couldn't fight him alone. Who knew what kind of tricks he had?"

"Wise decision, Hiccup, but I must ask, did it look like Pitch was going to hurt Luna?" North asks.
