So sorry for the long hiatus, but enjoy!


"SLOW DOWN YOU CRAZY DRAGON!" Ruffnut screeched.

Toothless rolled his eyes, 'You're the crazy one," he thought, 'Where are you taking me?'

Ruffnut looked pleased, "Alright Toothless, where should we hide you?"

Toothless rolled his eyes in the other direction, of course she didn't know.

Ruffnut cackled, "Kidding! Astrid and Fishlegs came up with some pretty good ideas, but mine was the best!" she grinned, as she flew Toothless off into the distance.


Back on Berk, Hiccup had been blindfolded and was currently sitting in a wooden chair wondering how he had let this happen to himself. Little did he know that the dragon riders had much more in store for him then just finding Toothless with clues—and an interrogation.

"So…how exactly is this going to work? Are you guys just going to give me wood chips with clues or stone maps or-"

"Shh Hiccup, all in good time my friend, all in good time," Tuffnut said, putting a finger on Hiccup's mouth.

Hiccup pulled his head back, "Tuff! Don't ever do that again!" he groaned, wiping his mouth with his sleeve.

Tuffnut laughed as Astrid pushed him aside, "Well Hiccup, we're going to hand you one wood chip here, and the rest of the clues have already been hidden in the rest of the locations. Basically, you're going to be playing hide and seek with Toothless, except the location is the entire archipelago," she said, removing Hiccup's blindfold.

Hiccup squinted into the sunlight, "Great. Where's the first clue?" he said, standing up.

"It's right here, in this room," Fishlegs said.

Hiccup held in a groan and looked around, looking at everyone, everything, everything moving and...hold on, what is Hookfang doing?

"Is something wrong with Hookfang? He looks like he has a toothache again!" Hiccup said, rushing over and prying open said dragons mouth. Right in the middle of his tongue was a piece of—now soggy paper—that said, 'Ride me'.

Hiccup pulled out the paper and made a face, "Hookfang's supposed to take me—" he started, turning around. Hiccup dropped the soggy paper as he realized that all the other riders and dragons had snuck away, leaving him and Hookfang alone in the arena.

"This is just great," Hiccup thought, clambering onto Hookfang, "This is going to be the best day eveaaaa" he yelled as Hookfang took off abruptly.

Hiccup grabbed on for dear life, "Oh Gods," he muttered, gripping the horns tightly.


"Stupid dragon," Snotlout groaned, grabbing onto Barf's head in a vice-like grip, "Why did we have to give Hiccup Hookfang?" he whined.

"Quiet. Barf and Belch is a perfect dragon, and besides, he needs two riders!" Tuffnut said gleefully, watching his friend bounce about pathetically.

"We're here," Astrid said, holding back a sigh. Stuck with Fishlegs, Snotlout, and Tuffnut was not her idea of fun.

"This is so much fun," Tuff said, taking Barf and Belch down in a nose dive.

"Come on Fishlegs," Astrid said, "Let's help Ruff plan that interrogation."

"You're here!" Ruffnut said, running towards them, Toothless not far behind, "So I was thinking that we should hide Toothless here, and send some of us to the first clue so they can interrogate Hiccup!" she said, crossing her arms proudly.

Astrid opened her mouth to retort, "…Actually, that's a pretty good idea," she said, nodding her head.

"Good. Fishlegs and I will go," Tuffnut said, "Come on, brother," he said, climbing onto Belch.

"Oh no. If you think that I am going to get onto that dragon, with that Viking, and interrogate my friend Hiccup, then you all are sorely mistaken," Fishlegs said, laughing nervously.

"Oh, come on Fishlegs, it won't be that bad. That way Ruff and Snotlout can do the next interrogation, I can do the third, and we all can do that last!" Astrid said, waving them.

"Oh Thor," Fishlegs moaned, "Poor Hiccup," he said, grabbing Barf's horns and screaming into the sky.


"Alright Hookfang, it says here that 'You will find your next clue on Berk, where the light breaks, and where wood casts shadows…" Hiccup read, scratching his head, "Where the light breaks…wood casts shadows…well, trees cast shadows! And the light breaks through the trees! They must be talking about the forrest! Let's go Hookfang!" He smiled, jumping onto said dragons back.

Hookfang rolled his eyes. That was NOT the location of the clue, but he wasn't going to tell Hiccup that. Barking a laugh, Hookfang soared towards the trees, with a pleased Viking on his back.

…Only he wasn't pleased for long.

"There's nothing here. I was wrong, wasn't I Hookfang?" Hiccup said, frustrated with himself.

Hookfang laughed and rolled around on the forest floor.

"…And you knew all along. Great," Hiccup said, resting against a tree, "Let me read this again…where the light breaks…light…breaks…OH! Of course! Light breaks at water! But where…the docks! The ships are made of wood, and they cast shadows in the water! Hookfang!," Hiccup yelled, startling the poor dragon, "To the docks!"

Hookfang grabbed Hiccup with his claws and flew to the docks, where he proceeded to drop him, rather roughly.

"Ok, ok, I'm at the docks. Where in Thor's name is this clue?" Hiccup wondered, walking around the docks.

Hiccup stopped as he heard a noise behind him. He narrowed his eyes and turned around.

Nothing.

"…Guys? I can hear you, you know," he said, cautiously moving towards land, one step after another.

Two shadows sat behind a new shipment of weapons, "Shush," Shadow 1 said to Shadow 2, let's called them S.T. and S.F., "He'll here us!" S.T. said.

S.F, "Well, maybe if you didn't drop your mace then he wouldn't!" he hushed, looking at their target, "Ok on the count of three, we're going to carefully capture him."

"Carefully capture? HA! We're going to attack him that's what we're going to do!" S.T. said, grinning malevolently.

"Attack?! No no no, this is Hiccup we're talking about!" S.F. said.

"Exactly, he can handle it," S.T. said.

Hiccup glanced around, knowing that someone was watching him, but he wasn't quite sure who. He glanced down into the water, noticing something at the bottom of the docks. Just as he was bending down, he felt something fly over him.

…and with a splash, Tuffnut was seen diving face-first into the ocean.

"Tuff!" Hiccup said, "What are you doing?!"

"Well," Tuffnut said, splashing helplessly around, "I was trying to attack you to interrogate you, but as you can see, I went in for a swim instead," he said sheepishly, "Speaking of which, I can't swim. HELP!" he yelled, his head starting to fall under.

"Hookfang! Rescue!" Hiccup said, giving Hookfang the correct hand signal.

"Oh Thor," Fishlegs said, running up to Hiccup, "This wasn't supposed to end this way…"

"You think?!" Tuffnut said, as Hookfang dumped him on the dock.

"You see Hiccup, Tuff and I were supposed to capture you and take you onto a ship to interrogate you and leaving Hookfang here…but as you can see…well…" Fishlegs started.

"I FAILED! Oh Thor, what will become of me?" Tuffnut said, looking up at the sky in defeat.

Hiccup started laughing, "Well, it looks like I passed then," he said, "Now where's Toothless?"

"Oh fear not, my fellow friend," Tuffnut said, "We may have failed, but our fellow interrogators have not! You will be taken down, my friend!" he said, whistling.

Barf and Belch flew overhead and grabbed their riders, "Farewell Hiccup Haddock, and goodluck," Tuffnut said, squirming under the grip of his dragon.

Hiccup looked up at them in confusion, "I can't believe this is happening to me," he groaned.

Something then dropped onto his head, "Ow!," Hiccup groaned, looking up at the sky.

"Almost forgot," Tuff said, "Here," he had dropped a very heavy scroll, "Now, farewell Hiccup Haddock, may Thor be with you."

"May Thor be with us," Fishlegs grumbled as the pair flew off.

Hiccup rubbed his head as he opened the scroll. His eyes widened a little as he read the clue:

Find: Strong Turbulent cOmmanding Intimidating Caring Knowledgeable

Hiccup stared at the clue for quite some time, "What do you say for some lunch, yeah Hookfang?" he said, looking at the scroll, "May I can figure this out over a full stomach."


I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to update this! It's almost been 3 years…where did the time go? I hope to start these stories again soon, but I've been so busy that I never have the time to sit down and write anymore, but I hope to keep a constant updating schedule soon.

Anyways, what do you all think Hiccup has to find? If you rewrite the words in a different formation the answer is pretty clear.

*And if anyone wants to see Hiccup go through a particular interrogation, feel free to let me know! I'd be happy to write special requests :)

See you all soon,
