Riker, Viggo; all their men and my men combined look in my direction, immobilized with astonishment. The questioning cries of the Berkians: "WHAT ARE YOU DOING", "IS THIS FOR REAL?" and "YOU MUST BE OUT YOUR MIND!" echoed rather loudly in my ears, slightly counter-balancing my choice.

Before I could change any decision; Riker ran off towards the dragon with a single bow and arrow; and hit the dragon right between the eyes; causing it to flip out, before plummeting to the ground with a crash so disturbing that it sent the pebbles at my feet a foot into the air. 

"You've made a rather deceiving decision, Stoick," Viggo walked over to me in three large strides, "Is what you say true? Or not. Because believe me when I say that I will bring no mercy to you; your wife or your tribe if we find out you've schemed us - and don't think we won't find out - because we will. We always will."

I hesitatingly crossed my hand over my chest, "I swear solemnly that I am not deceiving you in any way; Master Viggo; for I shall stay true to my word until death, and If not; death shall take me."

"Then it is settled. Grab your men and follow us. Berk shall be left for those behind - I'm assuming there is tribemen left behind?"

"Yes - and what about them? Can they not accompany the tribe? What about our weapons; food and warriors' wives. They shall be devastated."

"All weak shall be left behind. Is that not what you left them back for?" Viggo gave me a puzzled look out of the corner of his eye.

"Not at all; most of them stay behind to tend the island from dragon attacks; take care of the children, and stay alert for and other enemies that could stop by whilst we are out."

"Then they shall be left behind. We are in no need of distractions; and that'll take far too long to explain and gather. On with it now; gather your men. No time shall be wasted."

I tried to protest; but all I could do was follow Viggo's orders. I ran over to my men, gathered them all up; ignoring their screams, shouts and protests, before yelling at Zorc (Just another made up viking of the Berkian tribe😂) to set sail. Viggo and his men already had sailed out into the waters; so we had to pick up the pace.

After a long while; I gathered up my men, ignoring all their questions and roars as to why I made my decision. I watch the Hunter ship, wondering how long my tribe and I will have to pose as Hunters before I get my wife and the Freak.

I sat under the deck of the boat in the cells for far too long in the rocking darkness. Valka was taken updeck earlier today and yesterday, but returned to her cell with a kick and a shove twenty minutes later.

My plan didn't work out as I wanted it to, and I couldn't leave my cell at all; so no saving the Berkian tribe or finding a way to Toothless.

I sat below deck during the whole fight and flight sequence on Dragon Island with the Screaming Death and Company; while the rest of the Hunter boat and tribe of Berk had fun fighting and negotiating, which wasn't fun. But anything is better than sitting in the dark and hurling every other second from the bottomless pit of your empty stomach.

The hatch to the lower deck opens; and Viggo appears, alone, in the opening. I lower my head to face what seems to be the floor. He slowly walks down towards my cell - lighted torch in hand - and appears in the firelight in front of the bars. He knows I'm locked up; so even if he opened the door, I can't even get close to it. He unexpectedly unlocks it, and walks over to me. I continue staring at the floor; before glaring up at him when he finally approaches me.

"You feeling hungry?" He asks, the reflection of the fire from the torch in his eyes making him seem even more devilish.

I bring my head down again and don't answer; so he continues on.

"Dried seaweed. Be thankful. This is all you get for the next month. Anything you wanna ask or say before we continue on our journey towards Hunter Island?" He places a straggly piece of a paperish-like substance at my feet.

I still refuse to answer.

"Nothing? Fine then. Enjoy your meal."

I lift my head as he turns his back to me and I watch him approach the cell door.

"Wait." I say finally; questioning whether I'll regret doing this or not.

"So he speaks. What do you desire Freak?" He whips his head in my direction, hand barely on the handle of the cell door.

"When we get to Hunter Island; I would like to speak to the Chief and Wife of Berk, alone - i may add. For we have some unfinished business together." He stares at me; and I glare at him, "Or is that too much to ask the Princess."

He narrows his eyebrows; obviously taken back by my comment, "As you wish. Any sly business and you're back to the cells to be whipped."

And he leaves without another word.

Taurus and I land on an island to settle in for a while. The fog started to thicken and anything could lurk around here during these times.

I heat up a patch of grass before laying down.

"I'll keep watch until high-moon. I will wake you up then. Get some rest Toothless; you're more stressed than a viking during a dragon attack."

I sigh; knowing he's right.

"He's just a boy. I know he means the world to you, and he means something to all of us. But you got to let go if this doesn't work out. We need you. Staring at the sea and mourning wont give any hope. Okay? Just stay positive and know that if all goes wrong, we go back knowing we did our best."

I nod silently.

While Taurus is watching over us; I dream restlessly of Hiccup and the Hunters. I imagine him already dead. Limp and small. I shudder in my sleep.

I hope he's still alive. A heartbeat is all I need.
