Dragons, Humans, Gladiators, & Freedom

Chapter 6

(Authors note: If you are looking or learning about the maps from any of the time periods. I am sorry to say, please toss them out of your minds. While trying to write this story I've tried using those maps as well. Sadly they do not follow any of the places or guide lines I am using in this story. So just read the story as if it has its own map and mixture of time periods.

Also, some things may be changed from the TV show and movies to work out the kinks in this story

Thank you)

It had been a month since Drago's and Scourge's first attempt with their new Dragon boy gladiator. And it was going splendidly. They tried doing it as a special event. Can't make it all the time since it would distract Drago's warriors from their original purpose. They had to make sure Drago's territory stayed Drago's territory. And that meant conquering and taking out anyone who opposed them.

That's why they held it on a certain days, which got the crowd wild and happy. All was going to plan. But soon it became boring. Ideas of adding in new dragons got to their heads. Thus the constant chats with Essos. Drago did not want to use up all his money on buying dragons from the island. That's why he came up with a cheaper way. They had trappers at their disposal and told them to go out and collect every dragon they could find for his dragon army as well as rogues for the fighting arena.

Drago thoughts drifted off as he looked at the fighting arena. It had been another fine day of watching Hiccup fight. It was closing time and of course, the men were having a hard time putting Hiccup back in his cage. He looked over at the side bars above the cage to see Scourge watching the whole thing take place.

"How are things going?" Drago was walking next to Scourge.

Scourge looked over the bars as he had his elbows on them. "He's fast, quick and dangerous." Scourge loved how their feral child acted like an animal.

The boy may not look it, but he was definitely smart. Scourge knew that Hiccup was just playing dumb. While the other men thought of him as a wild animal, Scourge knew that the boy was smarter than he let on. He could understand the words that came of him and the other men's mouth.

They both watched as a few of Scourge's trappers tried to wrangle him back into his cage with the Night Fury. So far, Hiccup was proving to be difficult. He would jump over or under the men. He would also toss the men over his shoulder like they were nothing. Hiccup was still runt size, but he could fight a man ten times his size like nothing.

Either it was due to fighting with the dragons or Drago's men that made the boy stronger and faster. But the boy was not human. It was like he was fused with the power of a dragon inside a boy body. It would be a shame if he was the only one of his kind.

Watching the boy with interested, Drago began to form an idea. "I've heard rumors....from the other men?"

"That the other Warlords have their own Dragon Humans" Scourge knew what Drago was talking about.

When the merchants who had visited their shores came and saw seen Hiccup fight, he must have told others about him. Of how their dragon boy fought against dragons like they were his own play things. How he could toss a dragon down or strangle the beast until it became unconscious.

And because of all that talk, word must have gotten to the slave traders ears. Thoughts of selling feral Dragon Children to hungry entertainers must have sprung into their little heads. That must be how the other warlords must have gotten their Dragon Children.
