Hiccup's Journey

Free the Princess!

A/N:

'Dragons' – Dragonese

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The group went back to the castle so that Sofia could get Shuriki's wand. They all felt a little bit nervous and scared for the little princess. But they had faith in her.

"Do you think she's okay?" Mateo asked as he sat on Luna.

"I can only hope so." Carlos said as he sat on Cielo.

"Let's have some faith in Sofia. If she was able to convince her family to come here to where a dangerous sorceress lives, then she can do it." Hiccup pointed out as he sat on Toothless.

"I guess you're right, Hiccup." Carlos agreed. Then they spotted Sofia coming around the corner. "I got the wand!" Sofia confirmed as she ran towards them with the wand in her hand.

"Right on, Sofia!" Luna beamed.

"I don't know how you pulled that off, but Shuriki never lets anyone get close to her." Mateo pointed out.

"Look at her!" Skylar smirked as Sofia got onto his back. "Girl looks as sweet as sugar, but she got some skills!"

"Okay Mateo, show the way to Azaluna!" Sofia urged. "We have a Princess to free!"

The Jaquins carried their passengers into the sky with the dragon riders right behind them. The group flew deep into Avalor until they reached some ruins. Most of the plant life had taken over some of the buildings while there were others that had pieces of them lying around.

"What's that?" Sofia asked.

"An old Meruvian temple." Mateo declared. "The statue is inside."

"Whoa, man!" Skylar smirked as they observed the abandoned temple as they dove in closer. "They really let the place go."

"The Meruvians vanished centuries ago." Mateo explained. "No-one knows what happened to them, or where they went. All that's left of the ancient civilization of Meru are ruins like this."

"We have a fair share of ruins where I'm from." Hiccup commented.

"Really?" Mateo asked.

"What kinds?" Carlos asked.

"Half sunken boats grave yards and dried up dragon and Viking skeletons." Hiccup answered.

"Most of those ruins were caused by dragons and Vikings." Toothless added.

"I don't really blame any of you for that." Hiccup stated, "Vikings just never even tried to understand dragons and Red Death was the main cause of all of those wars."

"I would like to agree with that statement." Toothless grunted in agreement.

They flew into the temple, stopping when they reached a cliff edge over a pool of shining water. The humans dismounted off the Jaquins and dragons and stared at the pool below them.

"Where's the statue?" Sofia asked.

"Legend has it you need to swim across the enchanted blue waters for the magic to work." Mateo declared. The boys noticed that Sofia looked nervous at the task of finding the statue.

"You'll be fine, Sofia." Carlos reassured her.

"Good luck." Hiccup encouraged her.

"Okay." Sofia nodded. Cielo laid his tail down that lead down to the small ledge below. Sofia gently grabbed onto Cielo's tail and slid down to the small ledge. She tried to think of a way of how to find the statue in the pool in front of her.
