Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons | THE BIG FOUR: Book 1 ✔

24: HIS RETURN

Jack

Just like before, we are greeted with swirling black sand and hovering dark horses around the kingdom. The snow I delivered was now mixed up with tint of black. Scream of agony and fear lingered in our ears as we stepped inside the boundary.

"No, no, no. We need to go to the castle! Right now!" Merida stated which we followed swiftly.

"Come on Mer, ride on to Toothless." Hiccup began manipulating Toothless and Merida did what he said. I went near Punzie and held her just like the time we went to fly back at the North Pole.

We flew at the same time but it is very difficult for us because of the interfering black sand all over the place.

"You okay there Jack?" Hiccup asked in front.

"Yeah."

I gripped my staff tightly, ensuring something will attack us.

"Look out!" Punzie squealed and when I look at my right side, a dark horse began charging us. I swiftly grasped my staff and pointed at its direction; a flash of blue frost escaped and killed the creature.

We landed off the castle and it's more complicated here. It looks like; this is where they first started.

"Mer, go inside and look for your parents together with Punzie. Hiccup and I will take care of here. Go!"

They drifted off inside and Hiccup and I got to watch and ensure nothing will happen badly.

There were a lots of fearlings scattered around more than what I expected. I continuously stroked my staff to anywhere the fearlings may go. Hiccup on the other hand, uses his axe as a defense and Toothless fires to every fearlings he sees.

"Ah!" I groaned in pain as I loosen my grip in my staff. It flew a couple of meters away from me. A fearling passed by causing me to lose my staff.

I flew vastly to get it but then, Hiccup instructed me something.

"Mind if you duck!"

What?

"Now!"

I did what he said and a fearling was killed behind me by Toothless's plasma ball. I picked up my staff and went back destroying fearlings. Oh, goodness. That was close.

"Thanks."

"We got each other's back, remember?"

I just smiled at the thought and continued fighting.

I can say Pitch is more powerful this time. His fearlings are difficult to kill unlike before and it's never ending pain. But I won't allow it, I won't allow anything to happen to them especially I've got friends to protect to.

"Having a little fun, right?" A familiar voice suddenly spoke up which made us look to where the direction of the voice is.

"Pitch." Hiccup mumbled.

Pitch appeared in front of us and released more fearlings, making it darker and intensifying.

"Toothless now!"

With Hiccup's command, Toothless fired some plasma ball towards Pitch which made him charging with strength. Hiccup loosens his axe this time because of Pitch's strong black sand.

"It's now or never Hiccup." I said and both of us charged towards while Toothless is distracting Pitch's focus on us.

Hiccup got something inside his pocket and a flaming sword came into his hand. Literally, a flaming sword.
