The end is almost near. The Big Four can feel it. They are starting to get closer to Darkiana's tower, soon it will all be over. Toothless was getting a little tired from their journey, he was flying them so far away. "Hey bud, you wanna rest for a while?" Hiccup pats Toothless' back and looked at him. Toothless nodded and have decided to land on a clear forest. It has few trees and bushes, it seemed safer. "Well, I think we can rest for a night here," Jack said. "Alright, Rapunzel and I will get something to eat," Merida said. Both of the girls left them to look for food while Jack was getting their things down.

"This is going to be a really long journey, it's even harder than looking for Pitch, am I right?" Hiccup asked. Jack gave him a thumbs up and nodded to him. "I hope it's not going to be worse. I've read the book again," Jack said. Hiccup scooted beside Jack. "Are you brainwashed by that book again? I told you not to read it," Hiccup whispered.

"I just can't help it. I wanted to know what we're up against," Jack said. "You don't need to know, we've got this. You know what book can scare you sometimes, remember what your girlfriend told you---change your fate. I mean that book may tell what happened to the past but just look at what Merida did. Anything is possible to us," Hiccup said.

"You're right, maybe I'm just so worried about you guys. I mean, you guys have a family and friend, I just don't want anything to happen to you," Jack pats Hiccup's back. "Don't worry bro, we've all got this," Hiccup smirked.

Merida was on the lake looking for fish while Rapunzel gets more berries. And of course there are some people who walks among the forest. Rapunzel heard something, it sounded like a carriage, so she hid behind the tree to keep herself away from danger. She glanced and saw a little man. From behind, he has this huge hunchback behind him. He has orange hair, and short arms and legs. He was picking fruits the same as Rapunzel. When he finally picked them up, he puts them in his carriage. He finally showed his face, Rapunzel was afraid of him. He kept on pushing his carriage until he fell down and all of the fruits rolled along the soft grass.

Rapunzel felt bad, she gasps and hurriedly ran towards him. "Oh my gosh, are you alright?" she asked. Her fear was gone. "Oh, I'm fine miss. You don't have to help me," he still smiled after what happened to him. "I'll get you up," Rapunzel helped the man get up. Merida saw Rapunzel helping the man. She hurriedly ran towards her. "What happened here?" Merida asked.

"Oh, this poor man fell down, can you pick up his fruits?" Rapunzel asked. Merida agreed and picked up the man's fruits and held them back to the carriage. "Thank you so much, you shouldn't have helped me," he said. "Why? Is it because ya always help yourself?" Merida figured. "Y-yes...kind of," he answered. "Aww, you poor man. Don't worry, we're not like the others, we're very kind and loving people," Rapunzel smiled. "Why thank you, what are your names if I may ask? I could never forget what you did to me," the man said. "I'm Rapunzel, she's Merida," she introduces. "Why...my, my, are you a princesses? I am so sorry your majesty," he bowed to her. Rapunzel and Merida hurriedly stopped him from bowing. "No need to be sorry, and you can treat us like normal girls. We kind of want to be treated normally sometimes, what's your name?" Rapunzel asked.

"Quasimodo," he said. "What a beautiful name," Merida said. "Why thank you," he giggled. Jack and Hiccup saw Rapunzel and Merida. "Guys, what took you so...long," Jack stopped as he saw Quasimodo behind Rapunzel and Merida, trying to hide himself. "We just helped this man, his name is Quasimodo. He fell down when he was pushing his carriage," Merida answered. "Oh, is that so? Don't worry sir, everything's alright. You seem like a nice guy," Hiccup gave him a big smile, as he was so happy to see him. Quasimodo showed himself, and the four weren't showing signs of fear of him.

"You are very good children, lots of people are very afraid of me, and sometimes laughs at me," Quasimodo said. "We're not those people, I care about people so much, it's actually my job to watch them," Jack said and raised his eyebrows. Quasimodo was confused, until he took a second look to the four, they seemed so different. There he knew they weren't from there. "Wait, watch them? What do you mean by that? You guys aren't from here are you?" he asked. "Umm...you probably won't believe us if we tell you sir," Jack said. "Go on, trust me I will...because I know that people like you are very much different," Quasimodo smiled and winked at them.

Jack closed his eyes and he held his staff. He stomped his staff on the ground, and the grass started to turn into thin snow, as well as the trees. There were snowflakes around, it wasn't really cold. Quasimodo smiled and jumped 'cause of happiness. He reached for the snowflakes and captured one. "I am Jack Frost, a Guardian," Jack said. He threw ice spikes and Merida threw an arrow straight to it. "I am Merida DunBroch, princess and first born of clan DunBroch. The chosen Brave warrior," Merida said. Rapunzel glowed her hair and wrapped it in Quasimodo's bruise in his leg, and it magically healed. "I am Rapunzel Corona, a princess, and the Shining Golden Sun," Rapunzel said. Hiccup called Toothless and ride on him. "I am Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, son of Stoick the Vast, the greatest Viking, and a Dragon Rider," Hiccup said.

Quasimodo cried just seeing them. "You guys are the warriors...in those stories?" Quasimodo asked. "Wait, you know about that?" Rapunzel asked. "Of course I do, I read books. I think almost all of the people know. I-I thought it was just a myth, I can't believe, it's true," Quasimodo answered. "Well, we might look like the warriors but we're not the same as them. We're like the future, and we're just in a mission," Hiccup said. "Oh no, you're going to defeat Darkiana, am I right?" Quasimodo asked. "Y-yes," Jack answered and scratched his head. "Oh Lord, you're going to die! Haven't you read the book yet? She killed the warriors, and it might happen again to you," Quasimodo panics.

"Don't worry, we won't let her defeat us. And not all what is said in the book is true, we are going to change the future, we'll do things right from now on," Jack puts his hand on Quasimodo's shoulder and promised his word. "Alright, I believe you guys. Oh my...you are so young, I can't believe it," Quasimodo cried. "Umm, can we ask if there's somewhere else to stay for a night? It might get cold out here," Rapunzel asked. "Oh my pleasure, follow me. There's a small hut over there, it's a little small but it's warm," Quasimodo said. "Don't worry, we haven't sleep in houses or small huts these past few days," Hiccup said.

From far away...

"You can never escape the prophecy, it will never die," Darkiana saw the four in a magical globe. She truly believes that she can destroy them easily as the prophecy has said.

I had this nightmare...Darkiana kidnapped my sister and drove her inside a dark portal. I know my sister's gone, but why does it seemed so true. I never tell my friends that every night when I sleep, I always have nightmares, but some after that have magical and good dreams. I dreamed about me and Merida, holding each other's hands and running around the grass. She was wearing a white dress and she has flowers all over her hair, which is a little funny but she was still beautiful. We both laid down on the grass and looked at each other, I promised that we'll stay strong together till the end, there she smiled at me and held my hand. She told me to close my eyes...and she said,

"I are always here for you, I will never leave you,"

And then, I opened my eyes, I felt even better as I saw Merida while she was sleeping. I think sometimes of my sister when I see her, she reminded me of her sometimes because she was always there to guide me.

I know it's a dream, but she'll probably say the same thing in reality.

I'm not alone in this darkness, I have my friends and they are always there for me.
