This is the last chapter.
I know, i know. But, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is: I can't update until Monday.
Good news: The next update will be the first chapter of the sequal for Soul of A Dragon! yay! I already have an awsome idea for it. Also, important Author's Note at the bottom. Time for Shout outs!
Nightfurylov3r: That is a very good idea. I will do that.
Eregon Bromsson: I add a lot of twists. Sometimes too many.
OechsnerC: No, actually. I would like to add that though. That is really good though.
Midnightsky0612: Like I said, awkward history. Or did I say awkward family?
MMM: I think it was Hiccup.
Raven: :-)
The next day, it was the final test to see who would kill the Monstrous Nightmare. I for one didn't want to do it.
"Today is the final test to see who will kill the monstrous nightmare in front of the entire village." Gobber says walking in front of us. "Of course the only ones who have a chance are Hiccup and Astrid." He added, and the two of us give the other a glance.
"So, without further adieu, is everyone ready?" He put his hand on the lever for the gronckle cage. Fishlegs raised his hand. "That was a rhetorical question, Fishlegs." Gobber said, and slammed down the lever, releasing the gronckle.
I dodged a blast of lava, and the blast hit the twins' shields. "Ruff, Tuff, out." Gobber called.
I hid behind a small wall as the gronckle continued blasting, and hit Fishlegs's and Snotlout's shields. Astrid hid right beside and looked at me.
"Stay out of my way." She said, and stared into my eyes. "I'm winning this thing."
She ran off and hid behind another wall.
"Please, by means." I said. I stood up and looked at the crowd. They cheered for me as I put on a fake smile. I turned around and saw the gronckle heading my way and Astrid hid behind another wall.
The gronckle flew towards me, and I dropped my shield, and it stopped. I scratched under it's chin, and it dropped to the ground unconscious.
Suddenly Astrid came running towards me, ax raised and screaming. Then she saw the gronckle at my feet and she stopped.
"NO! YOU SON OF A HALF TROLL! MUTTON EATING-" She yelled and swung her around in fury. (That is one of the funniest parts in my opinion.)
"So, see ya." I said, and walked off.
"Ah, not so fast." Gobber said, and hooked my shirt.
"I'm late for something, actually." I said as he put me down.
Astrid puts her ax to my throat. "Late for what, exactly?" She glares at me, and Gobber looks at her. She lowers the ax and my mom speaks.
"Quiet down! Quiet down!" She orders. "The elder has decided."
Everyone stopped talking. Gobber pointed at Astrid, and the elder shook her head. Everyone gasped as Gobber pointed to me and she nodded.
"Oh you've done it! You get to kill the dragon!" Gobber yelled.
The rest of the teens started to pick me up and cheer.
"Yay! I am so-"
. . .
"Leaving." I said to Toothless.
"Leaving? Already?" He exclaimed.
"Yeah. I can't risk them finding about you, or my powers. We would both be killed." I pointed out.
"You could try to show them that dragons aren't bad. You know, tame one in front of them." Toothless offered.
"I don't think so. That could never work. I would get busted, and probably killed."
"But what if they don't kill you? You could change the course of history." He said.
I thought about it. "Okay, fine. I'll try. If something goes wrong you pull me out of it though." I said.
"Deal. You better not die."
"I'll try." I said sarcastically.
. . .
The next day I stood in front of the gate to the arena. I heard my mom speaking to the village.
"All right, settle down, settle down." She said, and everyone stopped talking. "If someone told me that in a a few short weeks, Hiccup would go from being, well, Hiccup," Everyone laughed, and mom quieted them. "To placing first in Dragon Training? Well, I would've shipped em off for freaking gone mad!" Everyone laughed. "Yet, here we are, and no one is more surprised, or more proud, than I am."
I looked down. "Not when you see this." I mumbled.
"Today, my boy becomes a viking. Today, he becomes one of us!" My mom finished, and everyone cheered.
She sat down and the gate went up. "Knock em dead." Gobber said, and I walked in.
Everyone cheered as I went over to the wall decked with weapons. I took a small knife and looked up. "I'm ready." I said, and the gate for the cage started to go up. Once it was up, the gate burst open and the nightmare crawled out, immediatly setting itself on fire.
That was when I noticed I had seen that nightmare before. It was my top nightmare, Hookfang!
He roared and climbed along the sides. He blew fire along the fence, and vikings dodged the blast. The dragon then climbed up the arena and on the chains at the top. He looked down and noticed me.
"I hope this works." I mumbled, and Hookfang crawled back down.
He growled at me, and I dropped my knife and shield.
"What's he doing?" My mom said.
"Hookfang, it's me, Hiccup." I whispered.
"You can't be Hiccup. You're a viking, not a dragon." He said.
"It is me, I promise you." I said.
My mom seemed to realize what I was doing. "Stop the fight." She said.
"No, I need you to see this." I called. "They're not what we think they are."
"I said stop the fight!" She slammed her hammer down on the bars, and Hookfang blew fire at me.
I ran and dodged his fire.
"There's only one way I'm getting out of this." I thought. But it was going to get me killed, and possibly Toothless.
I stopped running just long enough to turn into a night fury, and everyone gasped at me.
I glared at Hookfang, now standing right in front of me.
"Stand down, Hookfang. I can get us both out of here." I said.
He looked at me for a moment. "You're not my leader anymore, Hiccup." He lunged at me and I dodged.
I shot a plasma blast at him, and he was stunned. I pounced on him, and held him down. "I promise I can get us out of here. I was planning on leaving this place earlier, but something held us back."
"What do you mean 'us'?" He asked.
Suddenly there was a whistle, and I looked up and saw Toothless.
"Me and my half brother." I answered, and Toothless blasted his way in.
"Night fury!" Someone yelled, and everyone ducked for cover.
"Perfect timing, if I was in trouble." I said.
"Sounded like you were." He retorted, and Hookfang looked at him.
Suddenly there was yelling from the stands, and everyone started dropping in.
"Go! Get away!" I yelled, and the two flew off just before the gates closed, leaving me with the Berkians.
I roared, and flew above the chaos. Some threw daggers at me, while others tried taunting me to come down and fight.
I blasted the lever to the gate, and it went up. I dodged vikings and darted through the opening.
Once I was out of range but in earshot, I turned to my once-called-home.
"When my father, Stoick the Vast was taken by dragons and killed, your heir to Berk was killed too. Today, I leave this retched place that I once called home." I yelled. "Now, as I leave, this place will be known as enemy land. And will stay that way until the end of time." I turned away, leaving Berk.
I caught up with Hookfang and Toothless. "Hookfang, you may go free. Or you can come with us." I offered.
"I will come with you. I have no where else to go, so might as well." He answered.
I nodded, and flew off with the other two following.
I smiled. Berk was behind me, and in the past.
I was free.
Okay, so I came up with a good idea for a story. here's the summary: Hiccup finds a little girl that's about ten years old, and she's hurt with a broken leg, and she's washed up on the shore of Changwing island. He rushes her to the Edge, and they help her heal. But when she finally wakes up, she is terrified. She is scared to the point of madness, she has no idea who to trust anymore after her parents were killed by I won't say who, but it was her cousins. Then she is captured by the Dragon hunters, just when she starts to trust them. And she is captured because of her power to turn into a skrill. Did I mention that? So, that secret is the other half of why she won't trust anyone. She thinks that if someone found out, they would kill her, or simply take control over her. So when they finally bust her out, she's like a scarred, titanium shell of who she used to be. So of course, Hiccup tries to regain her trust, again. Will he ever gain her trust? Or will she run away forever? JK on that last part. XD Let me know in the reviews if you think I should I write that. Hope you enjoyed and please review!
