Hiccup's P.O.V:
I woke up to the sound of footsteps. 'Ugh. Not those Terrible Terrors again.' Wait. Those footsteps sound to heavy and rough to be a Terrible Terrors'. And is that..... metal? Why would any Dragon hold weapons? Oh Wait. We're not on Dragon Fang Island. We're not on Dragon Fang Island? WE'RE NOT ON DRAGON FANG ISLAND!!!

"Toothless, wake up! Someone is coming!" I whisper-yelled. Can't have them know our exact location now can we? Last time I've been here, almost no one knew about the cove. Which could give us enough time to escape.

"I know. I can hear them. Do you know those voices?" He asked. Five years with the dragons improved my sight, hearing, strength, speed, and agility. So I tried focusing on the voices to see if I could recognize any them, and sadly one of them is a voice I know to well.

It's a voice I'd recognize anywhere.

Stoic's.

I was brought out of my thoughts by Toothless' distressed wail. I turn to look at him to find him wrapped in a net. Oh no! I was to focused on my thoughts that I didn't see the net that was coming at him! I need to focus!

"Toothless! Are you okay!"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Just fight them off a little till I burn those ropes off." I nodded and turned to the vikings. If they want my dragon, they'd have to kill me first.

My dad walked in front of me and trying to look intimidating. Which, let me tell ya, isn't working in the slightest.

"Step away from that Night Furry, boy." Good thing I had my mask on. I glare at him through the eye holes and I if looks could kill, he'd be 60 feet underground right now.

"No. If you want him, you'd have to to kill me first." Gasps and whispers were heard from the crowd behind Stoic. There were some like...

"Did that boy just challenge Stoic The Vast?"

"That kid is out of his mind!"

"Why is he protecting that beast?"

"What will Stoic do?"

..... Something like that. Man, my dad's face was so red from anger that I honestly thought it would catch fire.

"You dare to challenge me, boy?" He said touching that handle of his hammer.

"I do. And I just did." As if something in him snapped, he brought his hammer down on me. Well on the ground where I was standing on a second ago.

His face morphed from anger to confusion to surprise. It was really funny.

"Done!" I look at Toothless to see him finally out of the ropes.

"Took you long enough. Let's go!"

"You're not going anywhere!" wait. Snot Loud? I turn around to find it was indeed Snot Loud. In fact, the hole gang is here. Even...... Astrid.

Before I can even react, he swinged his mace at me and I started stars. Oh man, Toothless....

"HICCUP!" Was the last thing I heard before everything went black.

I open my eyes and look around. I'm laying by a lake, my head on someones lap, their hand running through my hair, and the sunset behind us. Sigh. I know I'm dreaming. I've had that dream constantly for a while now. And strangely I find myself opening up to them and telling them about my problems, then she'd give me advice.

Her name is Valka,(Moon: Surprise! Silver: He doesn't know it's his mom by the way.) she was alive once and used to help me when I was little but died and now she is helping me through my dreams. I guess it has something to do with me being the Dragon Prince.

It's been happening for months now, and every time we would be in the same scene and in the same position. It's somehow comforting.

"It's good to see you again, Valka." I said

"It's good to see you again, too, Hiccup. How are you and Toothless doing." she asked.

I sigh. "Terrible."

"How so?"

"We're on Berk right now."

"To see Gothie?"

"I wish. To see why the dragons are raiding Berk."

"I see. Have you figured it out yet?"

"No. We've been captured by Stoic." She stopped caressing my hair and a look of surprise took over her face. Did she use to know him? I wouldn't be surprised. She said she used to help me when I was little so we must have been on Berk at the time.

"A-And why did he do that?" Okay. Now it's getting suspicious. Why is she stuttering? It feels like she was so close to him, like she was his wife or something. Which I'm pretty sure is not the case. But I decided not to press it.

"We have a list of islands where we'll never be able to make the humans make peace with the dragons. Berk being on top." It's true. We do have a list. It's to make sure that the dragons don't go there so they don't get killed.

"Is that so? Well you can try to talk to them."

"They'll never listen."

"You've never tried."

"But I still know the outcome."

"And what is the outcome?"

"They'd make fun of me and try to kill Tooth- Wait. TOOTHLESS!" I sat up immediately. Oh no. Oh no. Oh NO NO NO NO NO! I totally forgot about that! Stoic captured us! He'll try to kill Toothless! Not if I have something to say about it!

"Valka! I have to go now or Stoic will kill Toothless!" She looked at me with surprise all over her face which turned serious in a matter of seconds.

"Right. Go. Protect your friend. And say 'hi' to Toothless for me." Hmmmm. That smile feels familiar....

"Of course. I'll see you next time." I only got a nod in response.

I then started to run towards the sunset that never moves from its place. Seeing that I'm in a dream and all.

White light engulfed me that only blinded me momentarily.

~~~~~~~
I blinked my eyes open to find myself in the great hall. Must've slept for a while.

I take a look around and my eyes set on the horrifying scene in front of me.

Toothless is trying to break free from the metal chains that's holding him, he can't blast them because they binded his muzzle too, and Stoic is walking twords him with his axe in hand.

"TOOTHLESS!!!"

Moon: Sorry for the late update. We've got exams coming up so we didn't have that much time writing.

Silver: But we'll finish by next week, so we should be able to update often. Hopefully.

Moon: Until then...

Both: SEE YA IN THE NEXT BLIZZARD!!!
