How to Train Your Dragon: Dragon Ambassador

Under the Devil's Shadow

Alright! I feel ready to start this story! Like before each new chapter shall be posted on SATURDAY (not including this one). 

O 

The Barbaric Archipelago was a place of blood and death. A place where humans both feared and despised the dragons. Many dragon raids cost lives on both sides and no matter how hard they tried; the humans could never reach the Nest. It was the home of the dragons and, unknowingly to the humans, the home of the truth. The reason why the dragons raided human villages laid slumbering at the bottom of a nonactive volcano. The Devil of dragons; a cannibal. It demands a mountain size amount of food and when a dragon falls just short; it eats them whole. No dragon can escape once it hears the Devil's Hum; a low toned vibration emitted from the Devil that messes with a dragon's natural compass and forces them to fly towards it.

Every dragon wants freedom, but they also fear the Devil. They're ants in size comparison. Freedom soon became a dream; a foolish dream. But there's a fine line between foolishness and bravery. And that's what this story is about and what one dragon is about to put to the test. Meet the Night Fury; the smartest and fastest dragon under the Devil's claw. When the humans started making contraptions to kill dragons he tasked himself with destroying them so no more lives were lost. The Night Fury was black as night and, with his signature purple fire, he could set fire to any village without anybody knowing who was doing it. But, in reality, the Night Fury wanted nothing more than to just fly high in the sky; away from the Devil. It was a childish thought with the chaos around him.

In the Night Fury eyes; humans were savages. Yes, the dragons did raid their home, but the Night Fury has both seen and heard how the humans enjoyed killing dragons. Some saw it as a sport while others lusted for the kill. There were times where the Night Fury himself didn't mind destroying their homes; ruining their lives. But once he returned to the Nest he was reminded as to who the true monster was.

The start of this story starts like any other night and another raid. Deadly Nadders, Gronckles, Hideous Zipplebacks, and Monstrous Nightmares swarmed a small human village. They burned homes and killed livestock. Humans scrambled to put out the fires and to save their livelihoods. The Night Fury flew silently in the dark sky; waiting for his chance to destroy the humans weapons. He had lived this night over and over for years. The Devil of dragons demanded a food raid every other night. This particular village they were at now was hit the most out them all, mainly because it was the closest village to the Nest.

The cranking of wood and metal caught the Night Fury's ears. The humans have started using their massive rock throwing weapons. That was his cue. The Night Fury did a u-turn and dive bombed the target. He built up his fire at the back of his throat and the sound of his unique fire filled the sky. The humans ducked for cover, they knew it's power. The Night Fury released his fire and it flew into the weapon. Wooden and metal parts exploded into the sky as the weapon fell apart. The humans that were on it jumped into the freezing sea water below. The Night Fury shot past the burning weapon; he had to make sure that it was done for good. As he flew away the Night Fury spotted another identical weapon. The humans were racing to get to it, but the Night Fury would beat them there. He exploded that one then flew high into the sky. The human's nets and swords couldn't get him from way up here.

The Night Fury circled the village; most of the dragons were now leaving with half of the humans food. Another successful raid. The Night Fury groaned. He didn't want to return to the Nest, but he could already hear the Devil's Hum calling him back. But just as he turned to leave something caught his eye. The Night Fury had little time to react as a large net enveloped around him. It entangled his wings and his tail fins. The Night Fury screeched as he fell out of the sky. He twisted and turned in hopes of trying to break free, but soon he found himself smacking into trees. He roared in pain when his tails fins got pinned between broken branches. But luckily, at the speed he was going, the branches snapped and he was freed. The Night Fury hit the ground and bounced a few feet forward before coming to a stop.
