The Four Horsemen Of Apocalypse

Chapter 4

[Normal P.O.V]

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!" Astrid screamed at the top of her lungs, and hugged Hiccup from behind, nearly squeezing the life out of him. The horse sped through the city in a blazing speed that would put the Flash to shame, constantly jumping over incoming cars and going down dark alleys.

"Toothless! What's wrong with you?! Bad horse!" Hiccup scolded him, who leers mischievously, he then turns to Astrid with a sheepish smile.

"He's not usually like this, oh no..." Toothless did his best horse smirk as his body began to condense into a billow of purple and black smoke, swirling and tearing through the streets wildly, causing the windows to shatter as he pass through them.

Astrid held on for dear life, grinding her teeth to stop screaming. "Hiccup!!"

"Toothless, we need her alive!!" Hiccup yelled to Toothless.

Toothless received that information and decided to reform to 'kind of alive'. Toothless the Smokey Tornado rockets skyward into the stars, and plummets down, spinning and twirling.

"And now, the spinning." Hiccup snarked nonchalantly. "Thank you for nothing, you useless stallion."

"Hiccup!!! How do you get him to stop?!" Astrid yelled through the air.

"I don't know. Compliment him?" He replied sarcastically.

"Okay, okay, Toothless, isn't it? You're amazing! The best flying horse in the world! Just please let me live!!!!" Astrid snapped her eyes shut, and clutched Hiccup's waist harder, causing him to nearly choke.

Underneath his smoky figure, Toothless snorted out a storm, unsatisfied. Hiccup then patted the smoky stallion's neck, "Let her up, bud. Any more spins, she'll squeeze the life out of me."

Rolling his eyes, the stallion began to return to its original form, and slows down. He then levels off and heads up into the dark clouds, breaking through the soft mass of water droplets, and soaring over them. When Astrid felt the wind go down, she let her eyes open, allowing the beautiful view to touch her eyes. She looks over to stars above her, and then down to the blanket of dark clouds. She reaches out and touches the clouds, piercing columns of stygian hues, as they float over the vast, alien sky-scape with the shining stars above. She allows a genuine smile to reach her face, despite being tens and thousands of feet above the ground.

They began to level off, emerging from the clouds and proceeds to fly over the lively city. Below them, the city's lights flicker in the inky darkness, resembling stars themselves. Her loosened grip over Hiccup began to tighten again, but not too tight, just enough to tell him how grateful she is. "You are full of surprises, Hiccup." She said with a smile, her eyes still wandering below.

"I try my best, Mi'lady." Hiccup chuckled. Toothless snorted from under them, earning him a smack from Hiccup, "Shut up, bud."

"How can we even breathe right now?" Astrid asked.

"Impossible things may become possible if you're a Horseman." Hiccup smiled sadly.

Astrid noticed it but decided not to mention it. She instead changes the subject and asks a very obvious question, "So what now?"

"You tell me, Scroll Bearer. Where are your friends right now?" Hiccup arched an eyebrow.

"Uhh, I don't know. I told them to go somewhere but I don't know where."

"Allow me..." Hiccup then closed his eyes, and began to whisper incantations to the wind. The foreign language sounded like music to Astrid's ears. The words flowed out of Hiccup's mouth like a spell, and then all of sudden, he opened his eyes as a green hue poured out of them. The air suddenly felt heavy, as Hiccup continued his incantations. He blinked, as the green glow began to flicker and fade, and he stopped speaking.
