Lilly's POV

"How is this possible?!" I heard Ryker scream as he tossed me to the side ruthlessly to check what was going on in the camp. Landing hard on my right shoulder I hissed in pain before looking back up at the scene displaying in front of my eyes.

Viggo had his sword still raised and moved towards Hiccup who backed away slowly with hands raised and obviously trying to argue with the older man. No, I can't let this happen.

I tried to get up as fast as I could, however my still chained hands and that unnecessarily long dress was making it kinda difficult. Finally I was back on my feet, I started to run instantly towards Hiccup. Viggo was about to strike but stopped the blow immediately when I jumped in between.

"No!" I screamed. "Don't do this! Please!"

Viggo's POV

She stood between Hiccup and me, breathing heavily and screaming at me to stop. And I did, I stopped dead in my tracks as the sight of her hit me.

Her copper hair that was braided when I first saw her, was now hanging loosely in her face, her deep blue eyes were sparkling with rage and hate. I couldn't bear it.

The sword hit the ground with a metallic sound. I felt like couldn't trust my mind anymore, like I was seeing a ghost from my past form right in front of me. What an evil twist of fate, to make this girl look like ... her.

She frowned for a moment only to raise her gaze upwards to a black form darting towards us.

Lilly's POV

He actually stopped. I didn't expect that.

"Shadow!" I cried out as I spotted her darting towards us.

Viggo stumbled back in utter shock of the other Night Fury landing next to us. Shadow growled threateningly at him before she shattered the metal cuffs with a small plasma blast. Fortunately they weren't dragon proof. I hopped on Shadows back instantly, dragging Hiccup along with me. I dared to look back to Viggo one last time, our eyes locked and I felt like he would look right into my soul.

"Shadow, fly off."  I couldn't stand his intense gaze. I need to get out of here.

"Let's go help the others."  I said as Shadow took off into the sky. Hiccup held onto me tightly.

"What was that all about?" he cried out.

"I don't know, Hiccup. But we got to help the others and free the dragons." Turning my head I could see his determined look.

"Let's do this, we have to save Toothless."

"I have a plan, trust me Hiccup!"

"Always." He squeezed my arm slightly and I smiled at his sign of trust.

"Shadow fly near to the center of the camp."

As soon as we arrived I tried to reach my mind out to all of the dragons flying around. I had never done this before and had no idea if it would work or not.

"Dragons! Listen to me! We have come to set you free. Please help us saving our friends, take the unconscious dragons and their riders. Follow us to Dragon's Edge where you can be free. And burn down this place of slavery!" 

My head was spinning from exhaustion, but I could hear the dragon's roar in agreement before my world went black.

Time skip to the Edge

"I think she's finally waking up."

What? What happened? Where am I?

I tried to sit up but felt a sharp sting in my head so I decided to just open my eyes. I was surrounded by the gang. "What happened? How long did I sleep?" I asked barely above a whisper.

"What happened? Well the dragons went crazy and then they blew the whole camp up! It was freaking amazing!" Tuffnut cheered beyond excited and everyone agreed.

"It really worked?" I asked in utter disbelief. "Wow... I didn't expect that."

I tried to laugh but it made my vision spin again. Hiccup took my hand in his, squeezing it gently. "You were unconscious for two days now. What did you do Lilly?" he asked.

"I tried to reach out to all surrounding dragons."

"Wow."

I wonder if Viggo is ok. But why should I even care, he is a dragon hunter, a bad person, he tried to kill us. But still...

My thoughts were however interrupted by an overly excited Night Fury, jumping on top of me while knocking everybody else down and licking my face. "Ew Shadow!"

Everyone laughed.


Unnoticed from all of us, a strange figure sneaked away, hopping on a boat and sailing off the edge. An evil grin on his face. A dragon Whisperer, the figure thought, I know someone who might have great interest to know about this.

Time skip to the night

This night I couldn't sleep, the memories of what had happened, the memories of Viggo, haunted me. I haven't told Hiccup anything about my dreams yet, I wasn't sure if it was the right time. I need to figure it out myself first. This is useless, I need a swim to clear my head.

Cautiously not to wake Hiccup or the both night furies up, I sneaked out of the hut and spurted down to the shore. Tossing my boots aside, I tossed into the dark water. It felt wonderful, like flying on my own. Finally I was free again. I glided through the dark blue for what felt like hours, not caring how far I went.

Lost deep in my thoughts I didn't realize I was diving right into a big fishing net until it was too late. Soon enough I was entangled, struggling to free myself as I felt the net was brought slowly but steadily to the surface. Panicking I struggled even harder, but it was hopeless.

As soon as I was brought up on deck of a big ship I heard a scary familiar voice.

"Well, well what do we have here?"
