So, I'll try my best on writing a chapter for each book daily, its just when I get off of work, I'm exhausted by days end, so I guess I'm gonna have to sacrifice some naps after work and satisfy you guys. Anyway, onwards to the next chapter.

Johann sat in his new quarters while twirling his throwing knife in his hand expertly, the small man was preparing to abduct a Bewilderbeast egg from Greater Berk itself. This would not be a simple task, it was no secret on Berk that Bewilderbeasts were "back up" alphas and the true King of Dragons is that... scrawny boys Night Fury. 

The power hungry man growled in envy, Hiccup's reputation as the Dragon Master has spread throughout the outside world and that how that he commands the largest swarm of dragons in this world. To that boy? Dragons were kind, gentle, intelligent and beautiful creatures, but to Johann? They would soon become weapons in his arsenal to grow his wealth and build his own reputation. Johann wanted wealth and power. 

And he wanted it now.

The door to Johann's quarters opened, the man looked up to see Nikora Stormheart, the light skinned woman's hair was done in a curly waterfall style and ranched the small of her back, she was in a blue and yellow dress and approached her business partner. "Johann, why the long face?" She asked in a teasing tone, Johann threw the woman an annoyed glare, but the none the less, answered her question. "I'm thinking how we can lift a Bewilderbeast egg out from that boys nose." He growled while pinching the bridge of his nose before looking at a map of Berk. "Peace has given Hiccup and his people time to strengthen their defenses, train new dragon riders and bring back rarer and endangered dragons back to that... place." 

Nikora nodded and shrugged. "So what is your plan?" She asked, Johann then sheathed his throwing knife and pointed toward the edge of Berk on the map. "The Bewilderbeasts within Hiccup's dragon arsenal have built a massive nest to hold many more dragons within, and to keep the new coming dragons from completely swarming Berk." Johann then snorted. "As intelligent as Master Hiccup is? He has been a fool. Allowing so many dragons to settle within his home. He's basically painted a giant target on Berks back." The greedy man said with a dark chuckle before continuing. "And imagine all our purses filled to the brim with coin if we can capture at least half of the dragons on Berk and sell those disgusting lizards to the highest bidder."

Johann's female companion hummed in agreement at the prospect, but she clicked her tongue while shaking her head. "True, the thought of selling some the of the most rarest, exotic and powerful dragons to the highest bidder is an attractive thought, but Hiccup Haddock not only as Night Furies and the armies of both Hairy Hooligans and Strike Clan, but all of Norway would send support to Hiccup. We've heard the news, Hiccup's reputation in the North proceeds him, and he has helped many of the other Viking tribes here with building their own dragon arsenals..." Nikora then leaned close to Johann and whispered. "...we need to be prepared to face the might of all the Northmen and their armies baring down upon us, should we provoke Hiccup Haddock to the point he calls for aid. Why pick a fight you can't win my dear Johann?" 

Johann nodded in agreement and then shrugged. "I agree Nikora, but, if we play this right? Then there will be no reason to worry about the other Viking tribes bearing their armies down on us, and once weget my Bewilderbeast egg? I will force it to obey me and me alone, and then? We'll all be swimming in an ocean of coin. Mark my words Nikora."

"What do you mean she vanished?"
