"The Berserkers are hunting your dragon to kill it and use its blood for ink" Snotlout leaned on a rock and inspected his nails. "What? Is that not what's happening?"

Hiccup spotted Barf & Belch in a clearing. "There!" The gang swooped down. Ruff and Tuff jumped off Toothless and Stormfly and hugged their dragon. "Okay, we've got to go! Let's take all the dragons to the cove!" With that, Hiccup led the way to his special cove.

"Whoa!" Fishlegs, Snotlout, and the Twins all gasped when they first saw the cove. "What's up with this place?" Asked Ruffnut. "This is where it all began." Answered Hiccup. With that, he and Toothless walked over to a rock. Hiccup placed his feet in exactly the same spots as before, even though the lines were gone. Then, when he reached Toothless, Hiccup held his hand up to Toothless's nose and averted his eyes. The dragon hesitated, then gently put his nose in Hiccup's palm. This time, instead of Toothless running off, Hiccup stepped forward and hugged Toothless, breaking the trance.

Everyone looked awed. They had all heard the tale of how Toothless and Hiccup bonded, but this was- different. It felt like they were intruding on a sacred ritual.

Dagur watched everything from the top of the cove. It was true! Everything was true! He'd show Hiccup and his stupid father exactly what he thought about liars.

Hiccup woke up content the next morning. Toothless was safe, Barf & Belch was safe, the rest of the dragons were hidden. Soon, Dagur would be off Berk. All was right with the world.

The feeling vanished as a knife was put at Hiccup's throat.

"Dagur! W-what are you doing?!" Dagur just chuckled and removed his knife. "Oh, nothing. Just wanted to wake you up. Anyway, it's a break from negotiations today, and I wanted to explore the woods. Coming?"

Hiccup's mind raced. He could not let Dagur explore the woods on his own! Dagur might find the dragons and hurt one of them! "Fine. Just let me leave Dad a note."

Stoick woke up feeling anxious. He had to negotiate a peace treaty with bloodthirsty Dagur the Deranged. On top of that, he was constantly worried about the dragon situation. If Dagur found out about the dragons, he might do something drastic. But there was nothing to worry about. Hiccup was in charge of the dragons, and Stoick trusted his son.

Hiccup wasn't at the breakfast table, but that wasn't unusual. Hiccup was probably checking up on the dragons. Then Stoick saw a note on the table. It read: "Dad, Dagur wanted to explore the woods. I'm going with him to keep him away from the dragons. I'll be fine. -HHHIII" Stoick was instantly worried again. The last time Hiccup and Dagur had been near each other without adult supervision, Dagur had attempted to drown Hiccup. "Son, I hope you're okay."

---

Hiccup was exhausted. Dagur had been dragging him around the woods for hours. The good news was that they were nowhere near Raven Point. The bad news was that they were nowhere near anything. "Dagur, we should start going back. We'll be here until dark if we don't start heading home." Dagur turned around and grinned madly. "Oh, I'll be going home. You won't!" Hiccup was shocked. What did Dagur mean? This was bad. It was almost dark and he was in the woods with a madman.
