Episode 1: Enemy Of My Enemy

Pouty.

Of all the moods to be in, Toothless has to be in pouty and un-agreeable.

I latch several straps of the Gronckle Iron armor onto him as he shifts trying to get out of it. The stable is void of people, dead silent, and I feel like I'm committing a crime by going fly. Well, technically it is against the rule of two people when you go flying, but honestly, I can't do half the stunts with people watching me as I can without and it's getting really annoying.

Toothless shakes off all the iron breaking me from my thoughts, I glare at him. "Toothless come on, work with me, please." I plead. He, in response sends me a dirty look. Toothless shakes his head and looks to the left firmly. I gather up the pieces of the armor and back up towards the entrance of the stable. I lift up a hand and Toothless warbles softly, "Shh, "I hiss and turn pushing open the metal doors. "We're almost out of here, so Toothless just-" I start and he freezes in the doorway his eyes widening. Oh great.

I look up my eyes popping slightly as I spot Asher, axe on his back, arms folded across his chest his thick heavy hood over his scowling face. "Asher! H-hey," I stutter and Toothless and I share guilty looks. I half wish the floor would swallow me from this conversation. "So, what brings you here so early in the morning, you just going for a test fly with Stormfly?" I ask. He doesn't answer, scowl unmoving, unchanging, "Yeah? Well same here with Toothless of course," I say and shoot the Night Fury a look. He nods quickly. "Because if I took Stormfly that would be well..you know.." I trail off cringing at the awkwardness.

"I don't believe this, you're going for a recon flight, alone." Asher says finally breaking his stoicness, "With no support, no cover, we talked about this." Asher says and frowns. I don't meet his gaze.

"I-I know, I just didn't want to wake anybody, it's no big deal, really." I assure and look down at the Gronckle Iron that's starting to get covered in a layer of frost.

"Yes it is." Asher argues and throws off his hood, "It's way too risky." I scowl at nothing in general looking towards the side. Come on! I can't just sit around and do nothing as Viggo plots our deaths. I have to find him, drag him to Berk by his ear- which sounds way more satisfying than it should be- and get back the Dragon Eye. "Haedryin, he's not out there." Asher finally says, "It's been months since the Viggo-" He starts.

"Fiasco?" I offer and storm past him, the metal in my arms freezing slightly.

"Episode. I was going to say episode." Asher says behind me. I set the armor pieces down on the ground and don't look back at Asher, "You have to stop this, you're going to wear yourself into the ground looking for this guy, who doesn't want to be found." Asher says.

Yeah, whatever, no one can hide forever. "Asher, I'm fine. Really, besides, maybe Viggo isn't out there but his Hunters are, if I can find one to question-" I start.

"They won't tell you a thing." Asher interrupts, I finally look back at him.

"You don't know that." I argue. I think a good lighting bolt to the head helps anyone be more agreeible.

Asher grips the bridge of his nose and mutters something under his breath, "Look if you're going, at least let me and Stormfly go with you." He says. I chew the inside of my lip.

"Fine."

Asher races off towards the stable and I lift up the armor pieces, "Now or never." I say and Toothless glares at me before he fires a small blast at the metal and looks away. I groan in annoyance before I race forward and swing onto his back attaching the cords and clicking back the tailfin in less than ten seconds.

Toothless leaps into the air away from Dragon's Edge and it quickly starts to become a dot in the horizon. I look down at Toothless, "When Asher finds out you're not finding your armor, I am not covering for you." I assure. Toothless growls in response seeming perfectly fine with that. He pulls upwards towards the clouds and I release a breath smiling, "But with all that armor on, would we be able to do this?" I ask rhetorically and shove my prosthetic back.

Toothless glides forward breaking through the clouds his wings whistling through the wind. I laugh softly as he spins around glides down towards the ocean I lean over and reach a hand out to the ocean, my fingers rippling through the water. I look back at his fin grinning, "That new tail is awesome." I state. Toothless warbles happily before dives into the water, I grip the handles to his saddle tightly before he shoots out of the water, my hair dripping wet still skimming the ocean, I laugh and look up at him. "I owe you one," I say and Toothless pulls up gliding aimlessly for a while.

After a good hour or so, I look down at the ocean scanning for anything I grin, "Gotcha." I say quietly as I spot a Dragon Hunter ship drifting aimlessly across the sea. I pat Toothless's head, "Let's get a closer look, bud." I say and he nods before diving down silently. He glides above the boat and I look at the Dragon Hunters laying across the deck unconscious, Toothless lands on the deck and I watch the men for a few more seconds.

"Looks like dragon might have got the best of them." I say and Toothless growls lowly, teeth baring. I bite my lip. "Yeah, let's get out of here." I agree and as soon as the words leave my lips every Dragon Hunter gets to their feet lifting up the weapons previously laying at their sides, "What the-!" I start, "Toothless sky!" I shout and he leaps into the air whipping away from the direction of the boat.

I hear the sound of arrows whizzing past us and look back at the ship for a second before Toothless jerks horribly. My heart skips erratically in my chest.

No. He was just hit. No.

Toothless's flight jerks and he flips head over tail for the ocean, "Toothless!" I shout and rip upwards on the saddle handles with all my strength, the Night Fury is pulled up his flight jerky and hardly worth calling flight. "We can make that island!" I say and look forward at the small island in front of us.

Toothless groans before the trees and us meet. A branch smacks me in the chest and I'm thrown from Toothless falling backwards as he crashes into the ground. I hit the ground rolling and groan sitting up. I shake my blurry vision and race over to Toothless resting a hand on his head and neck, "I gotcha Toothless, I'm right here." I say and he moans. I spot the arrow sticking from his tail and my lips tighten into a thin line before I race over to it and grab the shaft. Toothless moans in agony and I rest a hand on his tail begging him silently to be quiet.

I rip the arrow from his tail and his talons scramble like he wants to move but can't, "I know, dragon root, we just gotta wait it out bud." I say and look at the arrow covered in Toothless's blood. I toss it to the side hoping I never have to see that sight again, "Who knows that will take." I mutter. I scramble to my feet and race forward a sharp stinging sensation ringing through my ankle. I ignore it as best as I can and look forward at the ocean where the Dragon Hunter ship is approaching.

Oh great.

They find us and we're dead.

I whip around and race back towards Toothless gripping his face, his eyes are shut firmly and he lets out another roar of pain. I bite my lip and tug him forward, Toothless gets to his feet, shakily and in pain before he starts to move towards me following my hands.

Okay, one step at a time.

000o000

The Dragon Hunters land on the shore of the isle, the leader resting his hands on his hips as he watches his men race off into the forest with a smirk.

000o000

Toothless collapses on the newly discovered cave and I follow his suit my foot screaming with pain. I fall at Toothless's side and he half opens his eyes moaning. I rest a hand on his forehead in reassurance for him before I look down at my foot, the ankle is changing colors from pink and red unnaturally, I grab the bone with both hands and shove it into it's socket a pained cry escaping my lips.

I roll the foot and throw the broken heal to the side gripping Toothless tightly in a hug before I leap to my barefoot and prosthetic racing towards the entrance of the cave. I spot the Dragon Hunters in the distance and bite my lip throwing my bangs from my eyes. "Why didn't I listen, why didn't I-what is wrong with me!" I mumble before smacking my forehead.

I turn around and look back at Toothless as he roars in pain, I race towards him, "Shh," I plead in a soft voice, I rest a hand on his forehead and he calms almost immediately, "stay still and keep quiet." I say and remove my hand from his cold scales. I backup my bare foot leaving trails of frost. "I'm going to buy us some time, "I race towards the edge of the cave as Toothless roars in disagreement, "I'll be back for you, I promise."

I grab several broken down trees and bushes and throw them in front of the entrance, I look down at my foot. Well, too bad I didn't think of bringing a spare shoe, have to put that on the to-do list. I whip around mentally sealing the spot of Toothless's location in my mind and race behind a bush as two Dragon Hunters move towards the cave.

I tense holding my breath and peak my head over the edge of the nature, the two men walk forward and I breathe a sigh of relief, I turn to take a step forward but my prosthetic snaps a twig. "Uhh," I stutter and look back at the Dragon Hunters hardly daring to breathe.

They turn and one throws their hand out, "There she is!"

Well, that's great. I whip around and start to race through the woods wishing I had in the slightest remembered my staff, Lighten. Lighting and ice aren't going to do very much against razor sharp metal. I stumble slightly my foot giving out to a horrible limping. The limb itself is ringing with pain to my knee but Toothless is more important than me.

The Dragon Hunter behind me lets out a grunt before he falls backwards unconscious. I freeze skidding to a stop and look back at him. What on Thor's name? A thunk catches my attention and I whip my gaze right as the other Dragon Hunter falls unconscious. Alright…

I whip around and limp run as best I can through the woods freezing and throwing myself left as I spot another search party ahead. I swear there were not this many people on the deck of the ship. The bush's leaves freeze behind me and I hold my breath taking in deep, gasping breaths through my nose.

"You two go that way, we'll go north." The leader, I'd guess commands before the men move out. I toss my hair from my face and release a silent breath of relief before a snapping noise grabs my attention. I leap to my feet, my eyes widening to dinner plate proportions, I race away from the spot the limp getting worse each step.

….

Nearly three hours later, I hardly dare to breathe as I hide behind another bush most of the men gathered waiting for instructions. "We think we got they away sir." One says and I cross my fingers. Please agree, please agree, please agree…

"They didn't get away. I saw the dragon go down myself." The leader answers.

Of course.

My eyes widen and I barely blink, "Gather more men and double back, check the caves!" The leader calls before adding, "We're not leaving until we find the rider and that Night Fury."

Oh Thor.

I scramble to my feet limping as I race towards Toothless's cave. We need to go, and we need to go now.

….

I race towards Toothless my leg pulsing with so much pain I'm seeing red, I collapse next to him and rest a hand on his forehead, "Hey how you doing?" I ask. He groans, "Do you think you can stand up, hey, what do you say, come on," I say and grab his saddle handles pulling him to his feet he stumbles his talons giving out, "it's-it's okay." I assure and he falls at my feet. "Come on, think Iyn, think." I mutter to myself before I race to the bushes separating them slightly the leaves freeze together and Toothless lets out a loud cry.

I turn towards him and limp quickly resting a hand on his head, "No, no, no, no, it's okay Toothless." I say and he groans again.

"HEY OVER HERE!" A voice roars. I get to my feet and spin my hands together, lighting crackling in one hand, ice spinning around in the other.

"If they want you, Toothless, they're going to have to go through me." I say and my muscles tense preparing to fire when shouts of battle make me pause. What? "What?" I voice quietly before the leaves start to shift.

The lighting dies with a weak crackle and I lift my hands up my fingers curling as the bushes shift. I blink rapidly as the daylight blinds me briefly, when my vision clears, my eyes widen at the figure, "Dagur?" I breathe.

He moves forward, "Hello, Haedryin."

He takes another step and I lift my hands up the power building in my hands, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." I warn and look back at my dragon, "Toothless, "I say and he gets to his feet, teeth bared before he falls back down with a pained moan.

I grimace before I shove my hands forward, Dagur leaps to the side to avoid the ice spikes, "Easy, my queen," He says and reaches me he grabs my arms and pulls them behind my back dragging me backwards.

"Let me go!" I hiss through clenched teeth.

"Seriously, you need to calm down." He says and throws me to the ground. I roll over and get to my feet wincing as pressure is placed on my right. My fingers curl and I prepare to fire at him again before three unconscious men catch my attention.

Wait. Dagur stopped them from attacking me? "You've been-" I start and he lifts up his hands.

"Plenty of time to answer all of your Haedryiny questions later." Dagur says with a small chuckle, "Right now, we need to move your dragon before these guys wake up." Dagur says and gestures to the three men. I clench my fists my lips tightening into a thin angry line. Dagur tilts his head slightly, "Or you can deal with them yourself, mmm?"

A little less than ten minutes later Dagur and I push Toothless through the woods, "Okay keep moving, like a boiled egg." Dagur says happily.

"I really don't need the encouragement." I say dryly, closing my eyes tightly as I take a step backwards on my right foot. Not broken or sprained but close. Dagur shoves at Toothless and he roars looking back at him.

Dagur grins, "Hi there." Toothless looks back at me and we share an uneasy look, "Oh come on, if I was going to harm you don't you think I would have don't it by now?" Dagur asks. Nope. You do what you want and what you want is never predictable.

I shake my head biting my tongue slightly to withhold a pained yelp,"I don't know, you're pretty crafty." I say.

"Crafty, "Dagur says and hums slightly, "Oh, well thank you Haedryin, I appreciate the kind words-they were kind right?" He asks after a hesitation.

"You are so weird." I groan.

Dagur scowls before he whips a dagger out and throws it forward, I yelp ducking and the dagger sails past me landing in a snapper trap. I look back and blink before eyeing Dagur again, "Thanks." I say.

Dagur gives a thumbs up, "You're welcome." We start to move forward again and Dagur mumbles several things along the lines of, "heavy dragon" and "I'm doing better"

I shake my head slightly. Crazy.

….

Nearly two hours later, my arms are dead, my back went numb hours ago, my foot stings up to my hip and I am utterly exhausted yet I pull Toothless on, "Come on, Iyn, help me out here." Dagur says and shoves against Toothless. I grunt and pull him forward a few more steps.

"Wait here." Dagur says before he releases Toothless and races forward through a pile of bushes a few seconds pass, "We're good, come!" He calls.

I pull away from Toothless and limp over towards Dagur's voice and look down at the roaring waterfall with, of course, sharp rocks at the bottom, I whack my forehead. "Oh, I knew it! What was I thinking?" I say and bite my lip tightly.

"Iyn," Dagur says and I peek through my fingers at him, "this isn't a trap. Look there." Dagur says with a calm tone and points forward.

"Wait what? W-what are you-" I start to say.

"HAEDRYIN! JUST LOOK..please, I'll stay right here." Dagur says. I move forward and scramble down the cliff's edge before looking at where Dagur is pointing a cave, behind the waterfall. I bite my lip and clench my fists before looking back at Dagur.

Several minutes later we walk along the cliff's edge. I groan something I don't catch and Dagur looks at me, "Careful the cliff's edge can be kind of-"my foot slips on the edge of the cliff proving Dagur's unfinished sentence. I yelp my fingers scrambling for nothing but open air and I fall backwards of the edge towards the river below, to most it would be comforting, but I still lack the ability to swim.

A hand grasps my wrist saving me from my fall and I snap my head upwards where Dagur has his hand wrapped firmly around my wrist, his fingers twitch and I slip from his grip, "Dagur!" I shriek looking down at the roaring waves. "Toothless!" I cry out towards him. Dagur grabs my forearm with both his hands and pulls me up the side of the cliff.

I rest at the edge, taking in gasping breaths my heart beating in a crazy rhythmic pattern. Dagur gets to his feet, "Sorry about that." He says cheerily, "My fault, I should have warned you earlier, I'll try to do better."

I shake my head my bangs falling in front of my eyes, "And I have officially stepped into a alternate archipelago." I say my eyes wide.

With the sun setting in the distance, we finally reach the cave, "Okay, right over here." Dagur says as we lead Toothless forward, he collapses on the ground and I fall next to him, rubbing my ankle and resting a hand on his talon. Dagur breaks several sticks before he lights a fire in the center of the cave.

I back away from it self consciously and look up around me in surprise, barrels and drawings cover the walls floor and everywhere. Dagur walks forward a bucket and cloth in hand"Yeah, I tend to have a lot of time on my hands these days." He says and sets the bucket down next to Toothless. Inwardly groaning I move away from him, but stay close enough to watch Dagur like a mother dragon over her hatchling.

Dagur sets the cloth into the bucket and rings it out, "Here you go, little buddy, here you go." Dagur says and rests the cloth over his forehead, Dagur looks back at me, "it's important to keep the mind sharp." He say and laughs slightly. I back away from him and he taps his chin, "Yes, answers, I did tell you those were in route." He says.

My back hits a log and I turn looking at it before I pull myself up on the wood, waiting for him to talk. His eyes narrow, "Well, after I came to the unfortunate realization that I was completely expendable well part of the Dragon Hunters, and under the command of Viggo Grimborne Oh I would have loved to see the look on his face as I drove the-" Dagur stops abruptly releasing a deep breath.

Um?

"Have you ever tried that? It's cathartic, I used to think that the only deep breaths were the last ones." Dagur says and laughs looking back at me, "How's Heeth?" He asks.

Missing. Gone, I have no idea, he could be dead, imprisoned or on a tropical island throwing a party. I have no idea where he is. I rub my ankle again biting my lip,"Yeah, you know, Heeth, he's okay." I lie.

"Good, good. And his dragon, what was it, Windshower?" Dagur asks and looks back at me.

"Shear, Windshear." I correct.

"Right, sorry." He says and lifts Toothless's head up gently placing something under it. He turns back to me, "Anyway after that…learning experience, I drifted at sea for quite some time, then I was shipwrecked here. I've been alone on this island for months, you know, it's amazing what a near death experience and hours upon hours, upon hours, upon hours, upon hours, upon hours of alone time will do to the mind body and soul Haedryin, I mean, you should try it sometime." Dagur says with a chuckle.

I drum my fingers over my arm and laugh slightly. "What's so funny?" Dagur asks tilting his head.

"You-this, I-I mean I knew you were crazy, but this takes the cake." I say. Dagur snaps the branch he's holding.

"I AM NOT crazy," Dagur says getting to his feet, he releases a breath, "but I do understand your skepticism."

"Dagur, why in the name of Thor should I believe a word you say?" I demand.

"You shouldn't. I don't deserve the benefit of the doubt." Dagur answers before he moves towards me. "So, uh, what happened to your foot?" He asks.

I look up at him resting my barefoot on the cave ground, "Me and Toothless crashed." I answer in a dry tone.

Dagur hums before he reaches forward, his fingers freeze before he looks up, "Is it okay if I.." He starts I shrug and he takes it as a yes grabbing my foot. He and I flinch. His fingers are rough and they run across my ankle Dagur's eyes narrowing. I tense every part of me preparing for him to rip my foot off then run around gloating in his victory. Dagur grabs my calf with one hand before he twists my ankle with the other. I take in a sharp breath a scream wanting to escape my lips but I bury it.

Dagur releases me and doesn't meet my gaze moving back towards Toothless. "He's not looking good." He says. I get to my feet and stumble slightly, but the stinging pain that's been with me for seven plus hours is gone. I move towards Toothless and rest a hand on his side looking at Dagur.

"He's never been hit with one of these." I admit rubbing my finger over the wound numbing it, "I don't know, maybe Night Fury's react differently." I say and look up at Dagur.

"I never liked those dragon root arrows. They seemed like cheating to me, I hate cheaters." Dagur growls before he looks back at me, "There is an antidote for this you know, I saw Rika and her men make it. I can give you the ingredients and together make the antidote to save your glorious Night Fury." Dagur says and I bite my lip. Um, I dunno. "Unless you want to wait it out and take the chance of him surviving it on his own." Dagur says he moves back and grabs two swords throwing me one.

I catch it with my left hand and look up at Dagur, "You may need that. "He answers to my unasked question, "They're still out there."

…

"Bitter weed, that's the first ingredient, looks just like this, but darker." Dagur says gesturing to a small plant on the ground. I move forward and kneel grabbing a plant from off the ground.

"So, what caused this new Dagur?" I ask. To be honest, I like it, if it's not fake I will wholeheartedly accept it. Except Dagur is Dagur.

"I told you, near death experience and a lot of time to think." Dagur answers. I lift the plant up, deciding it is not Bitter Weed.

"About what?" I ask.

"Well, when you only care about yourself life is simple, your actions are clear, consequences, haha, who cares, when that changes…" He trails off. I look at his back.

"Heeth?" I ask.

"He's blood, Iyn. Which makes him even closer than you and me." Dagur says and looks back at me with a wink. I send him a dirty look and he moves past me to a purple plant. I get to my feet moving after him before he lets out a startled cry. I watch the outline for a second.

"Changewing." I call and start to move forward. Dagur hold out a hand to stop me before he places both over his mouth and lets out a birdish sounding call. The Changewing growls before it camouflages again and disappears into the night.

"What?" I ask. What?

Dagur looks back at me, "A little something I picked up along the way." He says with a smirk.

….

"Okay, now we need the branch of a Firefern." Dagur lists as we walk forward. "It's the long red plant under the big elm tree." He says and I stop looking back as I spot a long red plant under a tree. I move towards it and outstretch my hand, "Just make sure you don't touch it-" Dagur starts to say.

I yelp in agony ripping my hand away from the plant my fingers twitching the whole limb feeling like it's on fire, Dagur moves forward and picks the part I ripped off with the edge of his sword, "with your bare hands."

"Thanks for the early warning." I say sarcastically gripping my wrist the limb shaking rapidly.

"Ah, got to work on that." Dagur mutters before he grabs my wrist and pulls me forward towards the river, "Come on, "he says before he shoves my hand into the lake. My muscles tense and the three deep gashes on my palm seem to sigh in relief, if wounds could sigh. "Keep it in the water." He commands and keeps a firm hold on my wrist and smirks at me, "Hey next ingredient: Fresh water." Dagur says and shoves a canteen into the river.

I leave my hand on the water and bite my lip, "So you wanna tell me why you're out here on your own." Dagur asks.

"Not really." I say before letting out a soft breath, "Let's just say that you weren't the only one who was affected by Viggo Grimborne."

"Mmm, that stuff can kill you from the inside Iyn, revenge, anger, obsession, trust me, I know. It can make you do things you didn't know were capable of, cause you to take chances, make mistakes, if that doesn't end you, it will eat away at your soul." dagur says.

My eyes widen.

I am so, so close to tipping over that edge and I didn't even realize until now. No wonder Asher and the other riders have been barricading me onto Dragon's Edge. I lift my hand from the water and look down at the gashes before meeting Dagur's gaze. "You'll live." He pipes happily with a knowing look in his eyes.

He gets it.

I haven't seen him in months and he can still read me like an open book.

….

"Are you sure?" I ask looking up at the plant. Blue Oleander is poisonous to dragons, deadly.

"Yes." Dagur assures, "I'm sure. Purple Oleander, do you always nag like this?" Dagur asks and I shoot him a glare, "Kidding. Sense of humor, no?"

I move forward towards the tall rock, "Blue Oleander can kill a dragon, h-how is purple any different?" I ask. Dagur folds his arms across his chest.

"Well for one thing-" Dagur starts.

"Please don't say that's it purple." I interrupt.

"I was going to say, nature, it's always a great mystery, Haedryin. Take Heeth and I. We're brothers and yet, we're very different." Dagur finishes. I throw my arms out.

"I must be out of my mind to go along with this." I mutter before I curl my fingers out a ice staircase building up towards the top of the rock. I take a step onto it and race up the snow turning it to ice and reach for the plant before a thumping noise grabs my attention. I turn back towards Dagur watching as he moves from one unconscious Dragon Hunter to another awake one a happy grin on his face.

"Oh that feels good." He mutters.

"Dagur!" I warn and rip the Purple Oleander sliding down the stair way as Dagur lifts a mace over a Dragon Hunter. He drops the mace a horrified but calm expression playing across his face, I move towards him and my fingers curl.

"See, I told you I've changed." Dagur says and smiles.

I sigh and lift up the Purple Oleander for him to take but he shoves me to the side. I hit the ground and skid slightly before looking up at him, "What was that for!?"I demand and my eyes widen with horror.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Dagur's hand flies up to his shoulder where an arrow is sticking out swaying on his feet. "Oh look at that, real stuck in there, yeah, I want to see the world and my father and…" I snap my attention away from him as a war cry rings through the air. A Dragon Hunter races forward and I grab the mace Dagur dropped from the ground lifting it up as the Dragon Hunter's sword flies down on me.

The mace hits him in the chest and he grunts before falling backwards in pain. I take in gasps for air turning to look back at Dagur slumped on the ground unconscious. I stumble to my feet and tense listening for anymore Dragon Hunters. None appear. I grab Dagur's unwounded arm and pull him forward back towards the cave.

After nearly half an hour, I reach it. Toothless doesn't look up at me, or do anything to indicate he noticed my presence but a single flick of his ear, even that might have been involuntary.

A soft groan escapes my lips before I drag Dagur over to the makeshift bed set up in the corner. I rest him on it and grab the arrow shaft and with on hand numbing his back, rip the wood from him. I toss the arrow to the side my fingers scrambling for the roll of bandages I'd dragged out. I flip the Berserker and wrap the wound before fasting a sling across his chest.

He saved me.

That would have hit my skull.

I would be dead if not for Dagur.

I move towards the fire and grab the gathered ingredients looking back at Toothless biting my lips tightly.

…

I throw in the Purple Oleander into the medicine stirring it in the pot softly before I pull the stick from within the depths blowing the wood off slightly. I sigh and back away from the fire watching as Dagur stirs. His hand shoots into the air and he sits up eyes wide, I move towards him, "Whoa, wow those were some crazy dreams!" Dagur declares happily.

I kneel in front of him and toss my bangs from my face, "You'll live."

Dagur looks down at the sling fingering it before looking back up at me, "Y-you did this for me? I-I don't know what to say, I'm- nobody's ever uh.." He trails off and I mentally finish his sentence: Cared for me.

"Dagur it was the least I could do. Think of it as payback for well, everything." I say and he grins, nodding. The medicine slushes and Dagur gets to his feet walking towards it. I echo him and watch as he looks down into the pot.

"I was just about to give it to him." I say looking down at the green solution.

"Hmm. Needs more purple. Definitely." Dagur says and picks up a Purple Oleander tossing it into the mixture. The flower melts, "There that should do it." Dagur says. I grab the rip of the pot my fingers twitching from the heat and my cuts from the Firefern burning but I press on. I lift the metal away from me and rest it next to Toothless a calm silence between all three of us.

Toothless growls his eyes hardly opening I bite my lip and look down at the medicine, Dagur walks towards me, "Hey, we could always wait for the effects of the arrow to where off and hope they don't find us before then, but that could take quite a while, it's up to you, Haedryin, but I would suggest you lose the paranoia, it's a terrible existence and it's not you." Dagur says and I sigh before I grab the rim of the pot and push it towards Toothless.

"Here you go bud," I say and lift the pot up, he opens his mouth the gums showing. I pour the purple substance into his mouth and he swallows, almost immediately he jumps up roaring, "Toothless?" I ask warily, getting to my feet. He roars again, his eyes flickering madly, "Toothless." I say panic starting to take over my thoughts, I feel the ice spread under my foot and Toothless flaps his wings once again before his eyes roll shut and he hits the ground with a thump, "TOOTHLESS! I cry and race forward resting a hand on his face and neck.

He roars his body twitching before going limp.

"What did you do?" I demand and look back at Dagur.

"Haedryin you have to believe me, I didn't know." Dagur says backing up. I turn my attention away from him resting my head over Toothless's neck. He doesn't react, look up at me, blink, warble, purr, smile, grin anything to let me know he's okay because;

Toothless isn't breathing.

NO! NO! NO!

My head falls onto my hands in grief, Toothless is dead or dying. No- just no! A tear slips from my eyes freezing on the back of my hand. I clench my fists and lift my head staring forward, "I am going to kill you."I whisper to Dagur.

"Haedryin-" He starts. I whip around from my dragon my eyes narrowing before I throw my hands out gathering ice and snow and with a cry of fury I run forward and thrust it at Dagur. He's thrown backwards skidding across the ground.

I move forward every step I take the ice getting thicker, my hands blue glow getting darker. Dagur looks up at me and scrambles to his feet, for the first time in the four years we've been in battle truly and utterly looking terrified. "You said it would help." I hiss move towards him. He backs up away from me.

"Iy-" He starts before his foot slips backwards off the cliff's edge. Instinct kicks in before my thoughts do, my hands snaps out like taking a breath and grabs Dagur's wrist trying to pull him back up but he smashes into the wall instead and drags me with him over the edge.

I scream as the water gets closer and closer before it hits me. The rapids whip me through the water at a fast speed and my fingers scramble for anything to hold onto. Dagur whizzes by me and I duck a large boulder before Dagur grabs my foot and drags me to shore. I cough slightly before I leap to my foot and tackle Dagur, "I hate you!" I scream and he shoves me to the ground, pinning my shoulders.

"I didn't hurt your-" Dagur stops abruptly and I hear the sound of swords being drawn. Dagur's gaze flickers to me for a second before he slowly lifts his hands into the air.

…

A little more than an hour later I stare at my bound hands sending waves of fury in Dagur's direction."We're going to find that dragon, "The Dragon Hunter leader says and I look up at him, "it's only a matter of time, why don't you make it easier on everyone?" He finishes.

"You have such confidence in your hunting abilities, I don't see why I should." I say and the man glares at me for a second.

"Maybe this will burn will a hole in your memory," The man says and lifts up a hand a man walks forward and grasps my upper arm pulling to my feet gruffly. He drags me forward and I struggle in his grasp, kicking against the ground. Ice forms across the sand but the man's grip is iron.

He rips a metal bar from the fire a few feet away that's been burning merrily and shoves the brand against a barrel. The wood hisses and my eyes widen. I struggle harder against the man's grip and he lifts the brand up to my face, "Now you'll be a part of the Dragon Hunters forever." The Leader says and I lean away from the hot metal bar.

The man holding me pushes it forward and I can feel the heat of metal rising off me making me dizzy. Stay focused, stay focused! "Okay enough!" Dagur shouts and I glance back at him, "I'll take you to the Night Fury." Dagur says and my eyes widen with horror.

NO!

"Dagur don't!" I yell. The leader lifts up a hand and the Dragon Hunter holding me drops the brand back into the fire.

"Take a few more men with you, just in case." The leader commands. The man holding me shoves me to the ground and I hit it with a soft groan ice spreading across the sand. I close my eyes tightly before Dagur's footsteps make me open them. He looks down at me, eyes concerned before he lifts his hands over the fire.

The ropes snap and Dagur leaps to his feet ripping a sword from a Dragon Hunter, I sit up and look down at the manacles. Why couldn't it have been ropes? "Dagur! Hurry!"I shout and lift my hands up pleading with him to move forward. He looks at me for a second before smirking.

"Sorry, my queen, you just slow me down." He says and races off. I stare at him in shock, utter betrayal, making me give him my weak trust so he can break it again. I hate him, I hate him, I hate him!

"You're a fake Dagur! A fake! I hate you! You hear me, I HATE YOU!" I scream letting four years of bitter feelings towards the man and beyond that seep into my voice. I will hunt you to the ends of the earth.

The snow falls harder and several men move forward, "Forget about him, he's worthless." The man says before turning and grasps my bangs forcing me to look at him, "This one, will take us to the Night Fury, "He says and shoves me forward. I stumble for a second before I mages to regain my balance. A man hand grips my shoulder tightly.

"Um sir?" A voice asks and the leader doesn't look back at me focused on walking forward, "it's snowing." The man states. I glare ahead, making no comment, left me for the dead, tricking me into poisoning Toothless, what kind of twisted minded, sick, insane man is Dagur? "Why is it snowing?" The man asks.

The leader turns looking back to him and points his swords at me, "Because this is Snow Queen. She controls the snow and ice, why do you think it's snowing." The leader asks before continuing forward.

We reach the beach a little less than five minutes later. The boat is visible through the snow and the man pauses, "Last chance. You want to help that dragon or help yourself." The man asks.

I look up at him, giving him the dirtiest, darkest looking I can muster, "I'll die before I talk." I spit.

"Then die you shall. Viggo will see to that, take her." The man commands the man holding my shoulder shoves me forward.

A whistle pierces the our and I glance back as a black blob appears through the clouds.

Toothless.

He's alive!

Hiding my smirk and the relief flooding through me I rip away from the man, willing the blizzard the pick up as Toothless fires several blasts.

I look up at him and close my eyes for a second, the blizzard freezes and I open my eyes laughing as Dagur tries to handle Toothless. The leader grasps my braid and pulls me to the ground holding a sword at my throat. "Easy dragon!" Dagur yells before Toothless swoops down landing in front of me. Dagur falls off, clearly not as adapt to riding as I am. Toothless looks at the man before he roars angrily. He's alive! He's alive!The man's sword pulls away and he yelps before grabbing his weapons and racing off.

I twist around around and lift up my hands shooting ice forward, the man freezes in place and I smirk softly before getting to my feet. Toothless leaps forward and I laugh rubbing my chained hands on his head.

Dagur walks forward and grabs my forearm gently, his fingers twitching. He grabs the middle of the manacles and smashes the brittle metal down the middle. I give a brisk nod of thanks and Dagur rests a hand on my shoulder flinching, "Until we meet again, sister." He says and I blink in surprise before I pull away and swing onto Toothless's back.

Dagur races off towards the still frozen in place leader and past him disappearing into the beach. Toothless looks up at me and I pat his head and look over at the boat and lift up my hands the water bursts upwards as ice shoots from within and rips the boat apart.

Piece of cake.

Toothless leaps into the air and I don't look back at the isle throwing my hands up into the air and letting out a yell of victory, "YES!" Toothless roars happily before picks up speed, racing away from the isle.

….

"HAEDRYIN!" Asher shouts angrily as I dismount Toothless several hours later. I purse my lips a sigh escaping me slightly before the Hofferson storms up to me. Terrific.

"Asher." I greet glancing past him to see all the other riders. Asher reaches me and pokes at my shoulder several times.

"Where were you? Haedryin, I told you to wait for me, it's dangerous to be out there by yourself." He growls. I shove his hand away and walk past him.

"I'm fine." I assure. He huffs angrily and I feel his glare on my back. I look back at him Toothless moving towards me. "You know what, let's just go to sleep and we'll talk about this in the morning okay?" I ask and he grips the bridge of his nose before he moves forward nodding.

"Fine. In the morning. Oh yes, we'll talk."

Several minutes later I shove open the doors to my palace and Toothless walks ahead of me leaping up the ice stairs. I mutter something under my breath before I move after him. I reach the main floor of the ice structure and push open the balcony doors and move forward. I rest my hands on the ice railing the metal still wound around them clinking softly.

Sister.

Dagur had called me sister.

Not, my queen or angel. Sister.

Maybe, just maybe, enemy of my enemy is an ally.
