The Hero's Return

Chapter 4 - The Dragon Master

Standing on top of a mountain and look down at the market below. Besides him was his faithful nightfury, Toothless.

"You ready bud?" Hiccup asked mounting the saddle he had made. With a flap of his wings, Toothless soared to sky flying over the market in great fashion. The two of them dived and spined till their heart content and to the cheering crowd of the people below.

Over the years, he had grown to be someone who was recognized with little effort. And that fact was very true within this island. This was the island that he first made his name, saving its people from their dragon problems and through this very island that his name and stories were spreaded beyond belief.

Not only that, it was also thanks to the fact that he was the image of every girl dream. They would scream and sway at his appearance. For the muscle that he had built and the caring nature that he always had, going out of his way to help just one people was the thing that captured all on their heart. The dragons, his fame and his fighting prowess were just an added bonus for them. Yet, none of them could capture his heart. From the beautiful to the brave and even the caring.

"Dragon Master, it has been a while since the last time I saw you."

"Please, we already go over his many time, called me, H and I have been really busy for the last couple of months." Hiccup said.

"I bet... You know the little one miss you a lot."

"I miss him too, but I guess I will have to meet him next time. For now, just get me the usual."

"It a pleasure, Master H."

"Don't start copying Johann now, he always acts too formal." Hiccup said while shaking his head helplessly.

"I like it, I really do. It makes you even more manly." The girl smirked.

"That is really flattering, but I would prefer it if you just call me H."

"Why don't you make me scream it?" The conversation turned awkward as Hiccup's face reddened from embarrassment. Thankfully, the girl could not see it through Hiccup's signature mask. Because if so, then she would savor every second of it.

"Don't say that so casually." Hiccup yelled defensively.

"Master H..." The girl called out seductively. "You know that you make me sway everything that I see you, right?"

Hiccup just chuckled awkwardly before climbing on top of Toothless and flew out of that situation with his heart jumping against his chest.

"Come on bud, we should head home now, otherwise mom would be so mad at us." Hiccup said with petrifying tone.

However, before he could go anywhere far, a roar echoed the sky. It was something so similar to Hiccup and Toothless before diving toward the island of origin. Quickly and silently, Toothless land on the ground below before Hiccup dismounted and walked over to the tree line.

Just as he had expected, it was the roar of a gronckle, as it had found its way into a hunter trap. It roared desperately with no way of free himself. Surrounding the poor and helpless creature was a group of hunter that was responsible for that very trap.

Hiccup nodded at Toothless signaling him to get into position before making his way closer to where the hunters were.

"This is the last one that we need to bring to Drago, then we can invade that island." One of the hunters said enthusiastically.

"Fight against that island is not going to be easy, so don't get to overconfident."

"You are just worrying too much, it's not like we are fighting against the 'Dragon Master'. We are just attacking Berk here."
