NOT MY OWN STORY! @NeonPinkBlackRose book "Gifted " inspired this story! I give my many thinks to @NeonPinkBlackRose for giving me permission to post this story

Four years after the end of the Dragon Wars, Vikings and dragons have forged an everlasting peace with each other. Greater Berk is the crown jewel of the Barbaric Archipelago, Chieftain Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III has unified every tribe in Norway, together, the Northman have made their nation more powerful then its ever been before. Unfortunately, the peace that has thrived throughout the North has drawn its dying breath. The reputation of the North and its dragons has reached far and wide, particularly to someone who despises the very idea of human and dragon coexistence. Enter, Grimmel the Grisly, he's the darkest threat that Berk and the North now face. He holds great prejudice towards dragons and is of the firm belief that they must be either imprisoned or eliminated. Any alternate ideas that involve existence are unacceptable to him. So, Grimmel brings with him an armada of elite Dragon Hunters, and with him, enemies, both old and new join Grimmel to exact revenge and destroy everything Hiccup and his people hold dear. To make matters more complicated, Toothless discovers the infamous Light Fury- a subspecies of the Night Fury, the Light Fury draws Toothless to a exotic place called the Hidden World- a secret sanctuary of underground tunnels and chambers where dragons can thrive in under Midgard. If Grimmel and the enemies of Berk and the Northman succeed in their mission, dragons will be killed and enslaved and all of Norway will be left in ashes. This war will change the world, and it will forever be immortalized in history. Witness the end of the Dragon Master's story, the end of dragons living along side humans, and witness the war that changed everything.

Five years after the defeat of the alliance between the Outcast and Berserker tribes, Hiccup and his allies discover that Cutthroat and Dagur do indeed have powerful allies. To be on guard, Hiccup and his Strike Clan establish a new fortress called Dragons Edge. A beachhead beyond Berk and the Isle of Night, where the riders can prepare for any outside threat. The mysterious figure who rescued Cutthroat and Dagur from being killed is the second in command of a man who has vowed to rise above the fear of dragons. Now, Hiccup and all his allies face Drago Bludvist and his army of both man and dragons. They will be pushed to their breaking point and for the sake of all they hold dear, they must face this enemy together; or the world will be conquered by a madman.

Hiccup is banished from Berk for befriending a dragon, a Vikings mortal enemy, rejected for the last time, Hiccup leaves Berk after the Vikings spit on his vision of peace with dragons and he is the only one who knows where the dragons nest is and the monster that sleeps within its mountains. Ten years later, the Barbaric Archipelago has heard of a new tribe called the 'Strike Clan' which is led by Hiccup and the island has become very prosperous for both man and dragons. With the dragon raids growing worse however each village pays a visit to the Strike Clan because they posses one man, that can end this madness. That man is the Dragon Master. However not all the tribes wish for the raids to end, the Outcasts and the Berserkers ally themselves and plot something that spells disaster for both man and dragons. Hiccup and his Strike Clan will protect the dragons to death if they have to, but can they stop the alliance between the two deadly tribes? Or is there something darker lurking in the shadows?

First book in a series of books. Hiccup leaves Berk when he is chosen to kill the Monstrous Nightmare. However after plenty of time has passed an unexpected turn of events forces him to confront his past head on.

Taken from his home as a wee babe, Hiccup grew up with dragons and was raised by one of the most feared in the archipelago. He is known across the land as the Night Rider and is wanted for the betrayal of his own kind. All Hiccup wants the battle to end on both sides, showing the world that man and beast live together peacefully. Will anyone listen or will the battle of man and dragons continue?
