The Dragon Master Part III: End of an era (A Httyd Fanfiction)

Chapter 13: Call to the wild

(Normal pov)

Grimmel was at work making a new potion of poison that had Slitherwing venom in it, the trophy hunter wasn't just an infamous and legendary dragon hunter, but he was also an excellent alchemist; taking poisons from dragons to fit his needs when it came to eradicating the worlds most deadliest dragon species. The old man had a bottle full of poison and added the Slitherwing venom in it, mixed the two deadly ingredients together and he was outfitted with a deadly new poison to dip his darts in.

"Grimmel!"

Said man turned around to be greeted by Drago, Rong the Rock, Chaghatai Khan and Griselda the Grievous. All of them had impatient looks on their faces, the older man sighed in annoyance at his associates lack of patience.

"What is it my friends? I'm busy at the moment." Grimmel said while gesturing to his alchemy, Drago stepped up and addressed the problem. "The Hybrid that serves as our current alpha has not taken our... methods of submitting to our commands well, as I've said in the past. And its nearing death." The other warlords hummed in confirmation at Drago's words, Chaghatai stepped up and extended his arms out. "We had assumed the female Light Fury you sent out would bring Berks alpha to us, and that was weeks ago."

Grimmel stood up and walked towards his associates before gesturing them to follow him outside, once outside, the group were greeted by six of the trophy hunters Deathgrippers who followed their master behind the four head warlords of the Cabal. Their forces had set up shop on a massive island that has a volcano and served the Cabal well, since they dug around for sulfur for their cannons.

"We do not wish to waste time here old friend..." Rong said in a soothing tone before continuing to speak. "...but if our Hybrid dies? Then we will need Berks alpha." Griselda grunted in agreement and spoke up. "Indeed, we understand your plan of a consistent flow of battles will exhaust the Dragon Master and his allies, but we all have an agenda here..." The ferocious female warlord said while gesturing to herself and her male companions before continuing. "...the Night Furies will make an excellent addition to our arsenal, but first we need to know when your Light Fury will bring Berks alpha to us."

Grimmel pinched the bridge of his nose and turned to his employers and smiled at them. "My dear warlords, fret not, my Light Fury has already made contact with Berks alpha and will no doubt bring the alpha to us." The trophy hunter reassured, Grimmel then turned to Drago and smiled at the legendary warrior. "Drago, my friend, I believe you've rested quite enough. I have a task for you."

"And what would that be?" Drago asked while raising his eyebrow, Grimmel extended an arm out to the horizon. "You and your sons will kidnap the Dragon Master and force him heal the Hybrid. Once the boy has served his purpose? Kill him."

Those were the sweetest words Drago had heard, the man had a wicked smile across his face and he nodded. "Gladly." Was Drago's response, the man then left the small group and went in search of his sons. Turning back to Chaghatai, Rong and Griselda, the trophy hunter smiled at the trio and gestured to their armies and fleet of ships. "As for you three? Well, you're all conquers! So, go. Go and conquer the Northmen and their dragons."

The trio grunted before turning around to gather their armies and prepare to attack the Vikings of Norway, leaving Grimmel alone with his Deathgrippers. The trophy hunter turned to the nearest Deathgripper and injected the ferocious dragons own venom inside its skull; drugging it and all his Deathgrippers into absolute obedience.

As for the trophy hunter himself? He gazed at his own fleet of ships and smiled to himself, retirement wasn't sitting well with him, since he had hunted and killed almost all the worlds most infamous, rarest and deadliest dragons, he was the richest dragon hunter and had lived in peace for some time. But he was grateful for the opportunity to finally finish what he started.
